With the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet gripped in his hand, Chu Feng could clearly feel the changes occurring within it.
And what kind of treasure the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet was — that hardly needed to be said.
This was a heaven-defying artifact capable of training a group of people with abysmal martial cultivation talent into true experts. Its value was far beyond compare with the Supreme Wristguard on Chu Feng's wrist.
This was a genuine treasure — the kind that could set the entire martial cultivation world drenched in a rain of blood and carnage.
Chu Feng was beside himself with joy. After all, if the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet truly recovered its power, that would be an extraordinary piece of good news for him.
However, the power within this abyss appeared to be limited.
At the very least, at Chu Feng's current position, that power was finite.
So if he wanted the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet to continue absorbing that peculiar energy, he would have to keep descending.
Sure enough, after Chu Feng walked a little further, the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet trembled once more — and this time, the vibration was far more intense than the last. That meant the intensity of the power was increasing the deeper he went.
Chu Feng immediately picked up his pace downward, because the deeper he descended, the stronger the energy the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet absorbed, and the faster it awakened.
"Whoa — what is that?"
But after descending a considerable distance, Chu Feng's expression changed abruptly.
With astonishment, he noticed that not far ahead in the abyss, a corpse was floating — simply suspended in midair.
The corpse's robes were remarkably noble in appearance, yet the body had long since decayed into a skeleton. More importantly, once a martial cultivator reached a certain realm of cultivation, even after death, their bones became precious treasures that radiated a faint glow.
But this corpse's bones were dull and lifeless. Chu Feng had seen this kind of thing before.
And there was only one reason a skeleton would end up like this.
Its origin essence had been refined — this corpse had been completely drained of its origin by someone.
But the horror of this corpse went far beyond merely having its origin essence extracted.
Its skeleton was not even complete — it was missing an arm and a foot.
Even on the bones that remained, there were visible claw marks.
That meant this person had been tortured to death while still alive.
Finding such a corpse in a place as eerie as this — how could Chu Feng not be shaken?
"The Abyss Spirit Clan?" Her Majesty also took notice of the corpse.
"I'm not sure," Chu Feng said.
"Chu Feng, don't go any deeper. Something feels very wrong," Her Majesty said.
"Let me try a little more. I don't want to fall short when I'm this close."
Right now, the power that the Transformation Secret Realm Bracelet could absorb had dried up.
If he wanted it to have energy to absorb again, Chu Feng had no choice but to continue descending.
And so, Chu Feng pressed on deeper. But the further he went, the more corpses he saw.
At first, he had only spotted one. But now, as far as his vision could reach, the abyss was filled with skeletons — too many to even begin counting.
What's more, all of these corpses wore identical robes.
On some of the skeletons, there were even tokens hanging from their waists, inscribed with four characters.
— Abyss Spirit Clan.
That settled the question of their identity. These dead were indeed members of the Abyss Spirit Clan.
Chu Feng did not understand why they would be floating in midair within the depths of the abyss after death.
But that was not the main point. What Chu Feng wanted to know most was how they had died — who had killed them.
After all, this was a powerful clan that the entire Ancestral Martial Star Domain had every reason to fear.
