Chapter 393 (1/2)
What appeared in Wu Xinjie and Shi Yuan's eyes was an unbelievably bizarre subterranean world.
Below was a boundless black abyss, a refined palace hall, very imposing warrior and horse statues, and every sort of funerary beast and figurine hung suspended in the air. These warrior and horse statue still kept a first-rate appearance. The weapons and armored horses were all poised to kill.
Taking survey of everything, these statues were densely packed and numerous, a magnificent army not just in name but in reality. Besides these floating chariots, soldier and beast statues, a continuous palace hall was even more jaw-dropping.
That palace hall's entirety exceeded a kilometer in size, its whole body a jade white, emitting a cold glint in this underground mausoleum, with its jade rooms and jasper buildings, perfect sculptures and detailed paintings.
As far as the eye could see, how could this be a tomb at all. It was obviously the palace of an immortal.
Even the experienced and knowledge Knowledge Star and the well-traveled Thief Star were stupefied, stunned.
”Truly, what a pity that Young Lord did not come, otherwise, he definitely would have be very happy.” Wu Xinjie muttered to herself. Su Xing always held a certain interest in all of Liangshan's mysteries. Perhaps he would be wild over something like these hovering statues inside of a palace within a ten thousand zhang abyss.
Even her own blood was boiling.
Shi Yuan swept away her previous dejection, finally understanding why this tomb would be called one of Liangshan Continent's Seven Great Ruins.
Seeing these millions of hovering troops, horses, and palaces, they truly seemed to lead to the Heavenly Temple.
Without mentioning the dozen or so floors from before, even one hundred floors would have been worth it.
”Right now is the time for This Young Lady to fully display her skills.” Shi Yuan rubbed her palms and wringed her wrists, long already impatient. Seeing that enormous main hall's domineering size, she imagined that the treasures inside would be many.
”Careful.” Wu Xinjie reminded her about the abyss at their feet. There was no hope of reprieve should they tumble down.
Shi Yuan patted her chest, an expression of, ”Leave it to me.”
”Little Qi!”
She called, and the Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit hopped out.
”Take a look for me.”
The Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit nodded, opening its three eyes wide, becoming a specter. The Three Burrows Crafty Rabbit possessed the ability to scan for traps and react to treasures. Under its guidance, they could save a lot of trouble.
”Let us go then.”
Wu Xinjie said, releasing a flight Astral Tool, entering this Connecting Heaven Ancient Tomb together.
Probably a short while after they left, a woman quietly walked over.
She wore an exquisite, blue skintight palace dress that outlined her slender figure. The corners of her skirt separated, like lightly dancing waves.
The girl's hair not only was extremely long, it was also especially beautiful. Her ice-blue hair cascaded past her butt, just like a waterfall amidst ice and snow, emitting bits of ice. Her pupils, too, were icy, and her lips were cold, making one feel a sort of chill within.
”Is this the Connecting Heaven Ancient Tomb? It is truly decorated quite elegantly, however, why do I still feel that an explosion is even more beautiful.”
A young girl walked out from the void. She had a long, golden ponytail, and she had a sexy figure and clothing. She showed a toothy grin, speaking aloud.
”Han Bing, what do we do now? Do we greet the Sisters?” The young girl blinked, a very expectant expression.
”The Thief Star Shi Qian. Monitor them for the time being.”
The girl named Han Bing narrowed her slender eyes, gazing at the end of the ancient tomb.
…
”Dear Husband, careful!!”
While Wu Xinjie and Shi Yuan finally saw the Connecting Heaven Ancient Tomb, Su Xing's search for Gen Wu Divine Iron in the Black Turtle Sea was not so successful.
He had not been searching for the needle in a haystack for long. Just as Su Xing was searching for materials inside the seafloor's reef, the stone beneath his feet suddenly revolted, opening an enormous mouth to swallow Su Xing.
The Su Xing that had been tormented to extreme weakness by the close to million li deep sea completely was too late against this swift as lightning reaction and was swallowed.
Hu Nianzi anxiously blurted out, and the girl emerged from the Star Nest. Golden Wind and Morning Dew danced and crossed. Before that Demon Beast could bring Su Xing to its stomach, a snowflake-like saber-qi flew out in volumes.
Then, twelve golden sword-lights broke out of its body. The Demon Beast spat out Su Xing and Hu Niangzi in pain.
It still isn’t dead?
Su Xing was stunned.
That Demon Beast furiously opened its mouth again.
In a split second, an inexhaustible suction rushed towards its mouth. The seawater was completely sucked into it, and the powerful suction made Su Xing somewhat unable to budge.
”Have some Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder!” Su Xing's five fingers snapped.
Five Purple Thunder Dragon Pythons struck.
The powerful and scathing Purple Thunder pulled incomparably thin by the deep sea's attractive force, and by the time it reached the gigantic Demon Beast's mouth, it was just like an offering of tasty little fish.
Su Xing said, ”Fuck.”
He controlled Heaven Tearing in preparation to go clash, but his control over these Flying Swords was much more difficult than on land. The powerful pressure forced Su Xing's use of Flying Swords or other abilities to require even greater energy expenditure than normal. This mean that Flying Swords completely lost their edge.
The gigantic Demon Beast's mouth fiercely sucked, and an airflow entered its bottomless mouth.
Hu Niangzi was slightly pulled over. In the water, the Bright Star's weakness was not necessarily as easy as Su Xing.
Su Xing could be considered to have tasted the terror of the ten thousand li deep sea. Immediately, he raised the Green Lotus Peak.
Because all abilities suffered pressure in the deep sea, they would be substantially weakened, and Prehistoric Spirit Treasures were no exception. However, Su Xing's Green Lotus Peak was inherently categorized as that sort of powerful Spirit Treasure. The Green Lotus Peak rapidly enlarged in the water.
The moment the Spirit Treasure emerged, those airflow being sucked in immediately slowed, greatly easing the burden on Su Xing and Hu Sanniang.
The giant Demon Beast felt fear, retracting its mouth, about to flee.
