Chapter 375: Space at the Bottom of the RiverAt this time, the water of the Falling Ghost River was dark and dull, and a strange fragrance emerged from the water.

As soon as Lou Mu Yan entered the water, she was embraced by a warm body.

Then, a golden Elemental Energy shield enveloped the two of them and they continued to sink towards the bottom of the river.

“Are we going to go down now or wait for them to fight a bit first?” Lou Mu Yan looked up and asked.

Ming Xiu kissed her forehead and said: “Go down. Among them, only Shen Mu Feng and Lan Si are a little tricky.”

Lou Mu Yan’s gaze deepened. If Ming Xiu dared say such a thing, then he must have a way to deal with it, “Alright!”

The two of them dived all the way to the bottom of the river and the scent grew stronger and stronger. Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up. 

When the Obsidian Fluorite was born, the stronger the fragrance, the higher its quality, and there may even be Obsidian Fluorite Essence being born.

[ROAR!!] A loud roar suddenly sounded from the bottom of the river, and the entire Falling Ghost River and the surrounding mountains shook.

The pupils of the five Sects in the Array watched in horror as the mountains in the distance swayed incessantly.

The Demonic Beast’s roar was layered in pressure and countless trees cracked and fell.

“Fortunately the Array arranged by Brother Chi can isolate the attack of the sonic waves, otherwise I’m afraid that we would’ve been injured on top of our injuries.” A female pupil of the Heavenly Secret Palace said with adoration and fieriness, as well as lingering fear.

“Brother Chi’s Array skills are indeed powerful.” Gu Xiu couldn’t help but admire.

This level of defence-type Array might only be able to be arranged by a Headmaster-level Array Master in the Eight Extremes Sect. Had Chi Xiu’s Array attainments already reached this level?

“Brother Chi deserves to be the number one genius who won the championship in all contests in the last Six Major Sect’s Grand Competition. Such strength and talent really makes us ashamed.” Han Yi smiled bitterly.

They were all people who had entered the Sect about the same time, but Chi Xiu had already left them behind by a lot.

“Aye!” Many people sighed helplessly.

Jin Se’s enchanting expression revealed a bit of worry, “I wonder how Junior Sister Lou is? This kind of pressure is probably difficult to resist with her Sword Sovereign cultivation base.”

“That Junior Sister Lou’s accomplishments in Arrays are also very Heaven-defying. She’s a Grade 5 Array Master before even twenty.” A pupil of the Medicine Sect sighed, then said with a contradictory expression: “But her temper is too impulsive. With her rushing into the Falling Ghost River like this, I wonder if she would even be able to come back alive.”

“Geniuses have the capital to be prideful, but Junior Sister Lou is a bit too conceited.” A pupil of the Spirit Tamer’s Sect said regretfully.

With such talent, why risk her life for a Spiritual Item that she couldn’t obtain at all.

Who didn’t desire the Spiritual Item at the bottom of the river here, but since the appearance of the Sword Saints of the Devil Race and the Sea Race, they could only put away the greed in their hearts. They didn’t even dare to think about the Spiritual Item in that river with a fight at this level.

And even if there weren’t any Sword Saints from the Devil Race and Sea Race, simply with the Tier 9 Demonic Beast hidden in the river alone that could destroy them all, they could only suppress that desire in their hearts.

No matter how good something was, one had to live to enjoy them.

“I believe that Junior Sister Lou will be safe and sound.” Gu Xiu looked at the Falling Ghost River with an uncertain expression.

That woman had created countless miracles in the competition space of the Tian’ling Continental Tournament for Hegemony. With her cautious temperament, she definitely wouldn’t go down the river without some confidence.

However, it was definitely a situation where the chances of misfortune were greater than fortune, but he also admired her courage.

Jin Se nodded: “I also think she’ll be fine.”

She just had a feeling that Lou Mu Yan’s strength wasn’t as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Although the others believed that Lou Mu Yan had a higher chance of dying, but they didn’t say much, and quietly observed the movements of Falling Ghost River.

[ROAR!!]

From the bottom of the river, Demonic Beast roars kept rising, and Lou Mu Yan felt a stinging pain in her head.

Just as she was about to mobilise her Mental Energy to form a dense net to protect her Spiritual Sense, Ming Xiu took out a small blue ball and melted it into the golden shield, instantly isolating the roar of the Demonic Beast.

“You built a soundproof Array in this little blue ball?” Lou Mu Yan used to be a high-level Array Master, so her eyes were very sharp. She could see at a glance the secret hidden in the little blue ball.

Ming Xiu’s deep, dark eyes were filled with surprise. He really underestimated this woman before. He didn’t expect that she would be able to see the sealed Array with just a glance.

“Mm. There are many wonderful uses for Arrays.”

“They should be facing the Tier 9 Demonic Beast now.” Lou Mu Yan felt a violent fight coming from below.

“Let’s join in the fun too.” Ming Xiu’s thin lips raised into an arc, and he quickly dived down with Lou Mu Yan.

Lou Mu Yan found that each time they dived for a certain distance, the resistance in the water would deepen a lot. When they were about to reach the bottom of the river, the Sword Saints and Sword Venerables of the Sea Race and Devil Race were blocked outside by a dark blue water ring.

The people on both sides already had no intention of fighting at this time and they slashed towards the water ring with their Magic Tools. Many people tried to continue to dive down, but each time half their bodies entered the water ring, they couldn’t resist but float back up.

Seeing Ming Xiu and Lou Mu Yan diving down, they watched the two of them defensively, but didn’t make a move, worried that if one of their own made a move, their opponent would sneak attack.

Most importantly, they concluded that the two wouldn’t be able to sink deeper past the water ring.

The two ignored them and continued to dive down. When entering the dark blue water ring until it was waist-high, Lou Mu Yan felt a violent pressure squeeze towards her.

The water pressure was very strong. As their bodies dived a little bit, the pressure grew stronger and stronger, and even breathing became difficult.

“Can you still stand it?” Ming Xiu held his arms around Lou Mu Yan and telepathically said as he neared her.

Lou Mu Yan took a deep breath and replied: “Yes!”

Although the Elemental Energy barrier and Array Ming Xiu arranged had a defensive function, but they couldn’t prevent this natural water pressure. Only people with strong bodies or special methods wouldn’t be crushed or shredded by the force generated by the water pressure.

Thanks to the Sorcerer’s Skill she cultivated, her body was as powerful as a Tier 9 Demonic Beast once activated, otherwise she would have to stop at the deep blue water ring.

It was no wonder that even the strong Sword Saints in the two teams were blocked outside. Although their cultivation base and abilities were powerful, but their bodies were unable to resist the water pressure here.

Slowly diving down, Ming Xiu sent a few waves of True Force into Lou Mu Yan’s back from time to time, which relieved her originally squashed and pained bones a lot.

It wasn’t that Ming Xiu didn’t want to block all the pressure for Lou Mu Yan, but that the squeeze of the water pressure would be of great help to her body cultivation in the future. This was actually a fortuitous encounter.

After about another incense stick of time, the two finally penetrated another layer of dark blue water ring and reached the bottom of the river.

The scene after passing through the water ring was completely different from above.

All the water flows were isolated by the dark blue water ring. There was a large space below, and the ground was covered with icy blue gravel. There was even a transparent bottomless river next to the gravel.

The two fell to the ground and Ming Xiu held Lou Mu Yan’s hand, heading towards the end of the river where there were huge battle fluctuations.

After walking for a while, a dazzling light came from the cave. Lou Mu Yan blocked her eyes and followed Ming Xiu in.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was a huge ice pool in the cave. In the centre of the ice pool was a gorgeous blue flower resembling a peony. Surrounding the flower were drops of ice blue water droplet spars with slivers of black inside.

In the centre of the stamens laid several dark blue spars with a circle of black liquid in the middle.

And at this time, Lan Si and Shen Mu Feng were teamed up to fight a Jiao Dragon, and the fight was difficult to interrupt.

The Jiao Dragon was injured by the sword auras of the two in many places, but the two were also more or less injured.

When all the petals bloomed, bursts of fragrance spread from the flower in the middle of the pond.

The four people and one beast present immediately felt refreshed and an inexplicable force penetrated into their bodies.

The Elemental Energy in them subconsciously flowed incessantly to form several macrocosmic orbits. In only a moment, the few people felt that their cultivation base had risen.

Lou Mu Yan also broke through the bottleneck because of this airflow and went directly from Advanced-Phase Sword Sovereign to Peak-Phase Sword Sovereign.
