Chapter 715 - 396: The Overbearing Divine Beast in Human Form
Just as Zheng Yi had anticipated, upon entering this region, the pressure suddenly doubled. Many Core Formation Stage cultivators, caught off guard, could no longer withstand the terrifying pressure, resulting in internal implosions.
What is called an internal implosion, simply put, is when the pressure inside the cultivator’s body becomes significantly less than the external pressure, causing the physical body to be unable to bear it. This horrifying pressure difference sweeps through the entire body, ultimately leading to the explosion of the Golden Core.
After the entire bodies of those Core Formation Cultivators exploded, due to the external pressure, the fragments, limbs, organs, and blood didn’t disperse into the water. Instead, because of the terrifying pressure, these fragmented limbs were reconsolidated into clusters, forming horrifying flesh balls.
If there were a ray of light shining through at this moment, it would be clear to see in the dead silent abyssal seawaters, a series of horrifying flesh balls floating there, some with twisted heads, revealing eyes filled with confusion, regret, and fear, gazing at every life form venturing deeper from there.
This was merely one of the deadly lands the Ancient True Dragon Hall appeared in, considered to be a simple first hurdle, yet it had already eliminated more than half the cultivators.
Ancestral Dragon Qi is extremely precious, and the Ancient True Dragon Hall, left behind by a pure-blooded True Dragon, is a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure and a powerful clan’s treasure that contains a complete Grotto Heaven. It often appears in places of great danger, filled with hidden hardships, as expected.
Zheng Yi, of course, wasn’t among those blocked. Without any hesitation, he continued heading toward the depths.
Moreover, his speed reached the extreme, heedless of anything, as any pressure was like a gentle breeze to him. In an instant, he surpassed countless people ahead with an astonishing speed, only a flash of golden light was seen as he swiftly descended.
As he continued deeper, the space below grew heavier. The fearsome pressure pressed upon his body as if steel in the deep sea emitted a ’creak’ and ’creak’ of oppression. The sound was very loud, deafening.
The heavy pressure gradually began to surpass the limits some True Core Cultivators could bear, bringing new pressures.
"I can’t do it anymore, I have to go up!"
"I can’t bear it!"
"But it seems like just below is the exit, are we willing to give up?"
At this moment, from deep within the darkness, a faint light emerged, standing out in this infinitely dark space, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.
This opportunity, for any cultivator, is a chance.
Obtaining a wisp of the legendary Ancestral Dragon Qi would undoubtedly yield great rewards.
It could even be a chance to change one’s life path from now on; it’s almost like defying heaven to change fate.
For a Core Formation Stage cultivator, even with a lower three-grade Void Core, receiving the aid of Ancestral Dragon Primordial Qi could transform into a Nascent Soul.
And for a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, this is the key to advancing to the Divinity Transformation Tier.
Even if they couldn’t use it, offering it to a Divinity Transformation Tier expert could earn unimaginable rewards.
Behind these cultivators, many powerful forces had instructions from Divinity Transformation cultivators.
Whether it be the Three Immortal Islands overseas, Phoenix Cry Island, the Flood Dragon Demon Court, or even cultivators from other regions who traveled here, it’s all the same.
Behind these people, coveting the Ancient True Dragon Hall, stood the most powerful and terrifying type of existence in the Profound Celestial Cultivation Realm.
What is called a Divinity Transformation, is a living deity in the world.
It’s absolutely real!
The light is right in front of their eyes, as if stretching out a hand could touch the edge, pulling out a strand of Ancestral Dragon Qi, almost like defying fate.
Just this short distance made them reluctant to give up.
"I can’t, I can still hold on!"
"Perseverance is victory, as long as we break through that light, we can obtain the Ancestral Dragon Qi!"
"The Ancestral Dragon Qi below!"
Those cultivators who had already reached the pressure limit kept encouraging themselves, wanting to gain a bit of spiritual strength to push themselves beyond their limits and accomplish their goal.
However, reality is exceedingly cruel!
It was as if their eyes could already see where the light was as if reaching out a hand could touch the point, but this one step difference was as vast as a chasm.
A vast distance.
Solely relying on willpower and the remaining breath of Origin Qi to break through the space enveloped by light wasn’t such a simple task.
At the final moment, the pressure weighing on them increased exponentially, with each meter further down, the pressure increased several percentage points, constantly squeezing the blood and flesh of their bodies.
Even some of the Demon Race, transformed into their original fierce beast forms, under the pervasive pressure, started getting crushed, with even blood vessels beginning to burst open, and blood coagulating, unable to circulate.
But soon, this space became an eternal grave.
The originally gigantic bodies of beasts, under the terrifying pressure of the sea void, were continuously compressed, forming a smaller volume.
Their body size directly shrunk tens or hundreds of times; the pressure had long distorted those behemoths.
Under this pressure, whether human cultivators or other races, even those naturally dwelling in the deep sea regions seemed unable to withstand such terrifying pressure, and momentarily, they all fell into frozen despair.
