"Damn it, where is this underwater cave?"
As far as the eye could see, there was no sign of a cave at the bottom of the trench. Ye Chenfeng ordered the Sword Puppet to defend against the demon beasts while he released his powerful soul power to sense the location of the underwater cave.
"Teleportation power."
After about half an incense stick's worth of time, Ye Chenfeng's soul power detected an extremely weak teleportation power from several thousand meters away. He immediately flapped his Golden Roc wings and brought Yue Nichang with him as they flew through the high pressure of the seawater at an extremely fast speed.
After traveling several thousand meters, Ye Chenfeng discovered a one-meter-tall stone stele at the bottom of the trench. It gave off an ancient aura. Below this stone stele was an Ancient Teleportation Formation.
"Finally found the entrance to the underwater cave."
Recalling Mo Yuyan's words, Ye Chenfeng quickly released his soul power to clean up the mud around the stone tablet. At the center of the stone tablet, he found three identical keyholes. Without hesitation, he inserted the key in his hand into the keyholes.
Immediately, a strange energy was released from the stone tablet and seeped into the seawater.
The dozens of sea demons that were fighting fiercely with the Sword Spirit Puppets felt the power gushing out from the stone tablet, and they seemed to be greatly frightened. They were so scared that they fled in panic, and soon disappeared.
"Phew, finally safe."
Ye Chenfeng let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the sea monster had been scared away by the power of the stone tablet. He quickly fused the three hundred thousand mid-grade soul crystals into the Sword Spirit Puppet's body, which had almost exhausted all of its energy. He and the Moon Raiment made use of the limited time they had to recover their soul energy.
After about half an incense stick's worth of time, the heavily injured Black Demons and the two merchant alliances successfully broke through to the bottom of the trench and arrived at the stone tablet.
After the bloody battle with the demon beasts in the trench, the Black Demons suffered heavy casualties. Four of the six Demon Kings died, leaving only the Black Demons, Sword Demon, Saber Demon, and Spear Demon King.
The two merchant alliances suffered even more casualties. The Star Merchant Alliance only had a Class 4 Mystic Beast Ancestor Xing Yun and a Class 3 Mystic Beast Ancestor Xing Hun left.
Of the four from the Solitary Cloud Merchant Alliance, only the Supreme Elder Gu Tianxing survived. The other three were all killed by the sea demons in the trench.
"Black Demon, quickly insert the key into the stone tablet."
Ye Chenfeng looked at Black Demon, whose face was as gloomy as water and whose body was riddled with wounds, and urged him with a voice transmission.
Black Demon inserted the key in his hand into the stone tablet. The stone tablet once again released a strange power, and dense ripples appeared on the surface of the sea.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar sounded. The Black Tortoise King, who was in his combat form, held a heavy and powerful axe. He led the Snake Demon King and other demon beasts and finally broke out of the encirclement.
However, the Black Tortoise King's side had also suffered heavy casualties. Besides the Black Tortoise King and the Snake Daemon King, of the nine Level 2 Heavenly Beasts, only three were left. The other six had all perished in the trench.
They had never expected such a result. Never in their wildest dreams would they have thought that there would be such a large number of casualties before they even entered the Undersea Cave.
"Lowly humans, why didn't you inform this king of the dangers here in advance?"
The Black Turtle King widened his round eyes, angrily looking at Xingyun and the others. He was enraged.
"So this trench isn't that dangerous."
Xingyun didn't dare to blame the irritable Black Tortoise King, and he didn't know how to explain it. The reason why he didn't warn them in advance was because he wanted to trick Ye Chenfeng. However, who would have thought that Ye Chenfeng and Black Tortoise King were fine under the protection of the Sword Puppet, but they suffered heavy casualties.
"Tell me, what dangers are there in this Undersea Cave?"
If Xingyun and the others weren't still useful, the angry Black Tortoise King would have torn them apart to vent his anger.
"Our three business alliances have entered the Undersea Cave's outer area more than ten times in the past thousand years. Every time, we stayed there for a full year. Almost all the dangers were eliminated. However, because the Undersea Cave's inner area has a restriction formation, our three business alliances couldn't break the restriction formation and enter the Undersea Cave's inner area."
"So, I don't know what's inside."
Looking at the Black Tortoise King who was full of killing intent, Xingyun didn't dare to hide anything and said truthfully.
"Trash!"
The Black Tortoise King scolded and inserted the last key into the stone tablet.
"Rumble!"
A thunderous boom rang out from the stone tablet. Countless rays of white light poured out from the teleportation formation under the stone tablet, illuminating the dark trench as if it was daytime.
The dazzling light was unbearable. Even the strongest Black Tortoise King closed his eyes at this moment.
In the next moment, a large number of talismans emerged from the teleportation formation under the stone tablet and enveloped everyone. In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared from the trench and entered the Undersea Cave.
The endless white light disappeared in front of his eyes. Ye Chenfeng instinctively shook his hand and found that Yue Nichang was still beside him. He couldn't help but feel relieved.
"This is the Undersea Cave's outer area?"
When looking around, Ye Chenfeng found that he appeared in a boundless desert. At a glance, he couldn't see the end. Moreover, the Spirit Qi in the desert was very thin. It was almost negligible. This made him a little surprised.
"Not good!"
Just when Ye Chenfeng was observing the surrounding environment, his keen perception sensed danger. Without thinking, he immediately summoned the Golden Roc Wings and flew into the air with Yue Nichang.
The moment he dodged, an axe that cut through the air fell from the sky and cut a deep mark in the place where he was just a moment ago.
"Big Tortoise, what are you doing?"
Tightly hugging Ye Chenfeng's body, Yue Nichang's charming eyes were filled with anger as she questioned loudly.
"Now that you've entered this place, you have no value. Die obediently."
The Black Tortoise King spoke in human language. Its huge body flew into the air and approached Ye Chenfeng at an extremely fast speed.
However, Ye Chenfeng's flying ability was far superior to the Black Tortoise King. He fiercely flapped his Golden Roc Wings and quickly flew to a height that the Black Tortoise King could not reach. He held the Titanic Sword in his hand and launched a counterattack at the Black Tortoise King.
Although relying on its own strength and defense, the Black Tortoise King could ignore Ye Chenfeng's attack. However, its attack could not hit Ye Chenfeng. It was constantly attacked, which made the Black Tortoise King very angry. Its lungs were about to explode from anger.
"Lowly human, this king will definitely swallow you."
The angry Black Tortoise King roared loudly at Ye Chenfeng. The terrifying sound wave caused the air to tremble violently. It shook Ye Chenfeng's blood and Qi to churn.
"It's not certain who will kill who."
After shedding all pretense of cordiality, Ye Chenfeng no longer had any scruples. With a thought, he summoned the Sword Puppet and ordered it to attack the three scarred subordinates of the Black Tortoise King.
The three subordinates of the Black Tortoise King were not as strong as the Sword Puppet. Now that they were heavily injured, they were even less able to block the Sword Puppet's attack.
In the blink of an eye, a Golden Shell Demon Crab had its hard crab shell split open by the Sword Puppet's sharp attack. Its demon core was also shattered by the Sword Puppet's sword. It couldn't be more dead.
"People of the Black Demon, follow me."
Seeing the Black Tortoise King and the other demon beasts being restrained by Ye Chenfeng and the Sword Puppet, the Black Demon did not hesitate and immediately led the group into the depths of the desert.
Meanwhile, the people from the two merchant unions saw that the Black Tortoise King couldn't do anything to Ye Chenfeng. They were afraid that it would vent its anger on them, so they followed the Black Demon's group.
"Little Bastard, just you wait. Sooner or later, I will tear you apart."
