Chapter 2565 Undersea City
In a hundred thousand miles of sea, the vastness is beyond imagination. Although there is no change on the surface, a bloodbath is unfolding deep underwater!
During three months, Lin Feng fought tirelessly on the seabed with the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast, engaging in battles with various Demon Venerables, and reaped significant rewards—not only in terms of personal strength enhancement but also in acquiring many treasures that are utterly unattainable on land.
Similarly, the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast greatly benefited from this bloody battle, evolving from the initial stage of Demon Venerable to the middle stage. This boost, although coming from over thirty Demon Venerables, even just their Physical Bodies, raised its power dramatically, making it immensely joyful!
The entire process thrilled the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast. It teamed up with Lin Feng, slaying Demon Beasts it wouldn’t have dared provoke before, and consumed them. Although Lin Feng took the Demon Cores, eating the corpses of the Demon Venerables alone was enough to keep it satisfied.
"Boss, should we keep going deeper?"
Excited beyond measure, the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast asked Lin Feng eagerly, now longing to dive deeper into the ocean with him. Previously, its strength wasn’t sufficient to venture further, but now, with its enhanced strength, it yearned to hunt even more powerful Demon Venerables.
"Do you know what lies deeper inside?" Lin Feng didn’t rush to answer but instead asked.
"I wouldn’t lie to you, Boss. I don’t know..." The Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast shivered under Lin Feng’s gaze, its excitement dissipating, responding cautiously.
Lin Feng stood in place, pondering the changes along the journey. He noticed that the deeper they ventured, the more Spiritual Energy became abundant. Reaching here, they’ve already encountered middle-stage Demon Venerable beasts whose territories are vast. The deeper they go, it’s almost certain they will confront late-stage Demon Venerable beasts, undoubtedly.
However, he was somewhat fatigued from the slaughter on this journey. Besides a few heavenly treasures offering some excitement, he couldn’t find the passion for exploration. Fortunately, they only encountered solitary beasts; if they faced packs, it would certainly be troublesome.
Moreover, the crucial aspect was realizing that at the Demon Venerable level, the strength varied greatly. Even among middle-stage Demon Venerable beasts, the disparity was significant; sometimes, even when he and the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast joined forces, it posed certain risks. Facing late-stage Demon Venerable beasts, he doubted they could eliminate them together—the risk was too high, not something he would pursue recklessly.
Reflecting on the previous encounter with the Eternal Blood Demon brought profound feelings. If they encountered such level beasts again, things might not be easy. With his current strength, facing a Divine Venerable or Demon Venerable would still mean not being able to leave alive.
"We won’t proceed further; you can leave here, and I will go deeper alone." Lin Feng spoke softly to the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast. This decision stemmed from planned arrangements ahead, allowing him to infiltrate using special methods, which wouldn’t be possible with the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast. Hence, the journey beyond was for him alone to explore, enabling solitary retreat if danger arises.
The initially eager Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast cooled down completely, understanding Lin Feng’s intentions. Despite reluctance to miss out, seeing Lin Feng’s expression affirmed the decision, knowing it couldn’t handle other beasts without his support.
"Very well, Boss, please be cautious. Don’t take unnecessary risks. In Dahai, a rule governs that the wider the territory, the stronger the beast, and the deeper one goes, the strength increases. Stay safe." After speaking, the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast returned the way it came, with nothing more it could offer, leaving Lin Feng to heed its advice or not.
After the Four-Slaying Green Armored Beast departed, Lin Feng’s face revealed a faint smile. He retracted all his aura, even slowing his heartbeat almost to a halt, gazing at the distant horizon as he tread forward into the depths from the seabed...
Though slow, this pace had its advantages, along with extending his Divine Sense to the limit to prevent ambushes from other Demon Venerables, rendering the path relatively danger-free. Upon detecting Demon Venerables, he would steer clear, driven by curiosity about the deep sea.
In the blink of an eye, over half a year passed while he roamed the seabed. During this period, he encountered a myriad of bizarre beasts, witnessing endless undersea wars, personally observing rises and falls of beasts, deepening his understanding of why sea beasts were formidable.
The sea’s survival law contrasts sharply with the land above. Here, emotions fade while strength dictates outcomes; the weak face consumption by stronger beasts. Every sea beast strives for greater power lest they face inevitable demise...
Alas, the pressure of survival underwater dwarfs the terrestrial!
Understanding this, Lin Feng avoided provocation toward powerful beasts, maneuvering through their peripherals, quietly infiltrating without alarming any formidable creatures...
One day, Lin Feng unexpectedly noticed a glimmer amid the pitch-black ocean depths, having gone ages without seeing such light. Suddenly, it dawned on him that he hadn’t encountered beasts for a while, realizing he had entered an area even beasts dared not tread.
With this realization, Lin Feng heightened his vigilance but continued towards the light, curious about one peculiar fact: around the light, his Divine Sense couldn’t probe. To grasp what this brightness entailed, he must approach gradually.
Despite looking far and taking time, after half a month’s trek, he reached the light’s vicinity. Yet upon arrival, Divine Sense fluctuations struck, revealing several golden serpent-like Demon Beasts around the light, acting seemingly as guardians!
Though noteworthy, the crucial observation was discovering these serpent-like beasts were all late-stage Demon Venerable level creatures, chilling him to the core. Instantly, he froze entirely, halting all life essence like a lifeless rock, clinging to the sea-bottom reef.
Not until these serpent-like beasts wandered away dared he slowly approach, cautiously akin to a tortoise crawling, fearing to draw attention from the golden serpent-like beasts.
Approximately several hundred feet later, Lin Feng hesitated for two full months. Upon traversing the hundreds of feet through the green barrier, he astonishingly discovered a city inside, his mind genuinely bewildered, never dreaming of encountering a city undersea!
At this moment, Lin Feng abstained from leaving, opting for further exploration, gradually reaching the city’s outskirts. Only then did he clearly see this city’s true form.
Before him lay an extraordinary city, verging on exaggerated—a structure resembling an energy membrane expelling seawater, leaving the city entirely dry. The exact vastness of this city, Lin Feng couldn’t gauge; building such a city left even Lin Feng astounded!
What shocked Lin Feng more was that despite lacking walls or similar constructions, numerous turret-like structures abounded near the membrane’s edge—undoubtedly defensive measures. Seeing this left Lin Feng wide-eyed, astounded by such advanced technology manifesting in the Myriad Heavens Divine Realm, a cultivator’s domain.
Moreover, perplexingly, the large city’s architecture was almost exclusively pyramid-shaped, seemingly metallic as well. From afar, it resembled scenes from sci-fi films, the emergence of such an advanced civilization city underwater in itself defied logic.
Incredibly, he found no inhabitants, the city lying entirely barren and lifeless; without countless light sources illuminating it like daylight, it’d be unthinkable to imagine such a city existing underwater.
While pondering these enigmas, something unexpected unfolded.
Suddenly, numerous turrets within the city shifted direction, firing upon another location, unleashing light beams unimpeded through the membrane, seemingly hitting something. Violent ripples ensued throughout the ocean, even interspersed with roaring sounds, swiftly turning the membrane’s top into a bloodsea.
In mere moments, perhaps from bodies falling, Lin Feng saw their full appearance as they neared the membrane, the vast physique affirming the beast as Demon Venerable Peak level, unsure about its Demon Emperor classification.
A moment’s attention revealed membrane changes, lightning streaks manifesting upon it, shattering bodies upon nearing. Subsequently, golden serpent-like beasts clustered around the membrane scrambled for the body fragments...
