Chapter 7012 The Secret Realm's Deadly Situation, Make a Move!
As despair, like icy water, relentlessly eroded the minds of every explorer, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed from the deep, dark passage in the distance!
"You beast, stop your insolence!"
The sound contained unimaginable majesty and power, overpowering the noise of the water and the monster's roar, and clearly entered everyone's ears, like a muffled thunder rolling across the sky.
A golden light shot out from the bottom of the water, piercing a hole in the belly of the giant monster, from which foul-smelling blood flowed continuously.
Immediately afterwards, the water in the direction of the channel underwent an anomaly.
The water flow suddenly became violent, and surging waves appeared out of nowhere, as if an invisible and terrifying force was forcibly pushing the entire body of water forward.
It looked like a giant hand was constantly churning and pushing the water.
All the monsters in the water, regardless of size, instantly lost their balance and control, and were helplessly tumbling and rolling backward with the overwhelming force of the water.
Water has no fixed shape, yet it is an excellent medium for transmitting power. The terrifying power contained in the waves is mercilessly exerted on every monster through the water.
The monster seemed to be torn and squeezed by countless invisible giant hands. Its shell shattered, its tentacles broke off, and its body twisted and deformed in an extremely unnatural way. Finally, it burst open with a "poof" sound, turning into clumps of turbid flesh and blood fragments that quickly polluted the surrounding clear water.
The sudden turn of events left the struggling explorers utterly astonished.
They looked in the direction of the waves, were slightly taken aback at first, and then their faces lit up with ecstasy.
A huge spherical bubble, over 100 meters in diameter, suddenly appeared at the end of the passageway and was moving towards the hall with a steady and unstoppable momentum.
The bubble walls shimmered with a faint light, isolating the icy cold groundwater. Inside this bubble, which could be described as an underwater fortress, a large group of cultivators were gathered!
The leading figures emanated energy fluctuations that seemed almost tangible, their auras as deep and unfathomable as the sea. They were the ninth-level cultivators who had come upon hearing the news, intending to seize the legendary "divine remains."
Their eyes, sharp as eagles, scanned the chaotic waters, their calm expressions bringing a sense of peace.
Following closely behind were the leaders of various organizations, experienced exploration experts, and reinforcements from various forces involved in the operation.
There were over a thousand people in total, densely packed and suspended inside the bubble.
Despite being in a relatively safe sanctuary, everyone's faces were solemn, and they gripped their weapons or magical artifacts tightly, ready for battle.
This powerful team will arrive just in time.
The surviving explorers clung to the slippery rock face like candles in the wind, each wounded and their faces filled with deep despair.
In the waters below, the enormous monster continued its rampage, bombarding the cave ceiling with its terrifying compressed water cannon, each spray sending debris flying.
Without further ado, several ninth-level cultivators made their moves almost simultaneously.
In an instant, dazzling beams of light, condensed energy surges, and invisible mental piercings... all sorts of powerful attacks overcame the barrier of the water and precisely struck the underwater monster.
The power of a ninth-level cultivator far surpasses that of ordinary people. Their attacks are no longer the weak counterattacks of the explorers; each strike contains the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
The giant's tough scales and rough flesh shattered under such a fierce attack. It let out a muffled and painful roar, violently churning and causing the entire hall to be filled with towering waves.
After several rounds of relentless concentrated fire, the giant aquatic monster was blasted to death, its massive body slowly turning over, revealing its scarred white belly.
The surviving explorers breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, but unexpectedly, another unexpected event occurred!
At the entrance to the other passage, the water swirled violently once more, and an even colder and more sinister aura spread out.
A massive shadow slowly emerged from it. As its full form gradually became clear, everyone gasped!
It was a monster with a human-like upper body and a huge fish tail, nearly thirty meters long.
Its skin was a deathly grayish-blue, and its muscles were bulging, exuding a sense of power.
Its head vaguely retained the outline of a human, but its eyes were a murky, deathly white, without pupils, only endless resentment and coldness. Its finger joints were unusually large, and its fingertips were sharp as hooks. With each sway of its enormous fish tail, it stirred up powerful undercurrents.
This is clearly a monstrous, godlike creature!
The faint divine power emanating from it intertwined with the intense death aura, creating a sense of oppression that sent shivers down one's spine.
Without the slightest hesitation, several ninth-level cultivators once again went forward to fight the divine skeleton monster.
The battle was even more intense than before, with the roar of colliding energy, the piercing screams of monsters, and the explosive sounds of water being pushed aside by extreme force filling the air.
The power of the Divine Remains Monster is clearly far greater than that of the previous giant monster. Its attacks, which contain residual divine power, can even force ninth-level cultivators to deal with it with caution.
After a great deal of effort and at a considerable cost (at least two ninth-level cultivators were slightly injured, and some low-level cultivators inside the bubble were also injured by the aftershocks of the battle), they finally managed to completely kill this terrifyingly powerful divine merman monster.
The enormous corpse sank to the bottom of the water, and the blood that flowed out had an eerie golden hue, dyeing a large area of the water a strange color.
After experiencing two intense battles in a row, even a ninth-level cultivator's aura was slightly disordered.
With the crisis temporarily averted, the ninth-tier wizard, skilled in space and formations, immediately began researching ways to escape the secret realm.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, a highly respected leader of an organization among the explorers spoke, his face pale and his voice trembling: "...We can't sense...all the exits of the secret realm have lost their connection! It's as if...as if they've been completely blocked and controlled by an unknown force!"
These words were like pouring cold water into boiling oil, instantly causing widespread panic among all the cultivators.
The exit being blocked by an unknown force means they are completely trapped in the secret realm, unable to escape this underground tomb that is being submerged by a flood.
No matter how high your cultivation level is, if you can't find a way out, you'll eventually die from exhaustion, either drowning or becoming food for those monsters.
An outpouring of despair spread like a plague, even turning the faces of some high-level cultivators extremely grim.
However, misfortunes never come singly.
Before they could recover from the devastating news, the sickening sound of churning water echoed again from several passages leading in different directions around them.
Immediately afterwards, a group of even more bizarre-looking water monsters, with obvious signs of splicing and modification on their bodies, surged out like a tide, bringing with them various other water monsters!
All passages were blocked, and ferocious monsters surrounded us from all sides, leaving us with no way out.
The underwater bubbles trembled violently under the monster's impact, their light flickering as if they might burst at any moment.
The explorers on the rock face were in dire straits, with monsters leaping up to attack from below and slippery rocks above offering no escape.
The stench of death was almost suffocating; the shadow of the entire team's annihilation loomed over everyone's hearts.
In that critical moment, when everyone thought they were doomed—
"Crack!!!"
A deafening cracking sound came from above without warning; it wasn't rocks breaking apart, but rather space itself being violently torn apart!
The incredibly hard rock wall at the top of the cave was easily cleaved in two by a sword light of indescribable brilliance and sharpness, as if a hot knife were cutting through butter!
A massive rift spanning the field of vision suddenly appeared above the dome, blowing in a fresh yet chilly gust of air.
Beyond the crack, there was no longer oppressive rock, but a gray, gloomy space.
The miraculous escape from the dead end left the cultivators both astonished and overjoyed, almost unable to believe their eyes.
Then, they saw it.
At the edge of that enormous rift that tore through space, a tall figure stood silently in the void.
His robes swayed gently in the breeze, and he held an ancient longsword in his hand, the blade still bearing traces of lingering spatial energy.
It was Tang Zhen!
At the critical moment when the explorers had given up hope and thought they were doomed, it was he who, with the power of a single sword, cleaved open this closed and desperate place, shattered the barrier of space, and carved out a path to survival for those trapped in the abyss!
