1587 Chapter 1587: The Sudden Change of the Peak
"Something doesn't seem right?"
A moment later, at the peak of Black Sword Mountain, the middle-aged man frowned and exclaimed in surprise.
The other hundred or so Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants that followed closely behind all looked at each other in dismay. Their brows revealed astonishment and doubt.
By the side of the Pool of Destiny, the black mist was still churning.
The white-colored odor that had been continuously rising from the pool had completely disappeared, and even the misty white pool water seemed to have become a bit clearer.
"This... It doesn't seem to be the same as the information we received?" A beautiful woman in red couldn't help but mutter.
"Can this kind of pool water still be effective?" Another voice rang out. The one who spoke was a skinny Black Costume Old Man with a white beard and a white hair.
"Regardless of whether it's effective or not, let's bring it back to Innate City first!" The middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then shouted in a deep voice, "After we retrieve the pool water, we must immediately leave this Black Sword Mountain. If the nearby undead experts rush over, we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
"Right, right, there's no time to lose."
"We have to leave as soon as possible. Although we attacked a few other encampments of the undead to divert their attention, they will probably understand very quickly that our target is this' Pool of Destiny '."
"..."
"Jiang Kuang, get some water!" Everyone else, pay attention to your surroundings! "The middle-aged man suddenly waved his hand.
"Yes sir!"
Everyone responded loudly and dispersed in an instant, vigilantly observing the situation around them.
On this mountain peak, the aura of death was abnormally dense. If one did not pay close attention, they might not even be able to sense the undead invading within a hundred meters.
"Whoosh!"
Almost at the same time, a skinny, young man in green clothes shot towards the "Pool of Destiny".
In the blink of an eye, the young man called Jiang Kuang had already arrived at the edge of the round pool. With a thought, a huge bucket that seemed to be carved out of jade appeared in front of him, but just as he grabbed the jade bucket and was about to fill the pool with water, he was stunned, and his eyes stared straight at the round pool.
"Jiang Kuang, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get the water. We don't have much time left!"
The middle-aged man quickly noticed Jiang Kuang's abnormality and could not help but frown. He immediately let out a low shout and anger could be seen between his brows.
"Commander, there … there's someone!"
Jiang Kuang seemed to have awoken from a dream. He turned his head and cried out loudly. His face revealed an expression of shock that was difficult to conceal.
"Someone? Who is it? " The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he was even more displeased. Seeing Jiang Kuang making a fuss about nothing, the surrounding people looked at each other in astonishment.
"Commander, the bottom of the pond! There's someone at the bottom of the pool! "Jiang Kuang pointed at the round pool and hurriedly explained.
"What?"
When the middle-aged man heard this, his expression immediately changed. The moment he finished speaking, his figure had already appeared beside Jiang Kuang, and his gaze that was as sharp as a blade landed on the "Suicide Pool". Through the tens of meters deep pool water, he could faintly see the bottom of the pool that was emitting a faint white light.
At this moment, a black shadow was faintly discernible at the bottom of the pool. One could vaguely tell that it was a figure sitting cross-legged.
"How is this a human? It's clearly a dead spirit!"
The middle-aged man's expression became even more unsightly. Although he didn't see the "Heart Ring" in the black shadow, who else could the black figure that appeared here be other than a dead spirit?
"Is the water of the 'Suicide Pool' the nemesis of the undead?"
An indescribably astonished voice rang out. Quite a few people had gathered over out of curiosity. When they saw the situation at the bottom of the pool, their expressions were filled with astonishment.
"That's just a legend after all. No one has ever seen it before."
"It's definitely not us human cultivators. If it really was a human cultivator, how could the undead have allowed him to stay at the bottom of the pool? They would have tried their best to get him out long ago."
"In my opinion, it might be a black stone that looks a little like a human, or a sculpture that the undead threw in."
"The possibility of it being a human or an undead is indeed small."
"..."
Everyone was talking at once, guessing one after another.
"No matter what is at the bottom of the pool, we cannot delay any longer. Jiang Kuang, immediately get the water and leave!" The middle-aged man's voice was low, but his tone was unquestionable.
"Yes sir!"
Jiang Kuang responded and moved. She grabbed the jade bucket and scooped it into the pool. In an instant, the bucket was filled with water, and with a thought, the jade bucket was kept in her spatial artifact.
"Let's go!"
After taking a deep look at the black shadow at the bottom of the pool, the middle-aged man no longer hesitated. With a low shout, he turned around and flew away.
"Go?" To where? Since you have come, then stay behind! "Right at this moment, a sharp laughter suddenly reverberated on the peak of the mountain.
"Hmm?"
The middle-aged man had only rushed out a dozen meters when he suddenly stopped in his tracks. His pupils constricted as he squinted his eyes and looked over.
Amidst the churning black mist, the figures of nearly two hundred dead spirits flashed out and surrounded them in a fan shape. The auras that seeped out from their bodies were extremely powerful, and the "Heart Ring" that constantly leaked out a blood-red luster from their left chests also revealed their cultivation and strength.
Not a single one of the two hundred dead spirits was lower than the sixteenth step. Moreover, there were four of them who were at the twenty-first step with the highest cultivation.
The difference in strength between the two sides was extremely great.
After understanding the current situation, the middle-aged man's expression became incomparably solemn. The expressions of the surrounding hundred or so Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants also became extremely ugly in an instant. Seeing the two hundred dead spirits approaching step by step, everyone remained silent. A tense and oppressive atmosphere began to linger in the crowd.
"Kill!" In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man suddenly let out an explosive shout. His figure moved like lightning as he brandished his weapon and charged towards the undead like an arrow that had left the bow.
"Kill —"
Jiang Kuang and the other hundred or so Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants also roared out in unison. They followed behind the middle-aged man and charged towards the group of dead spirits.
Shouts, sounds of fighting, and sounds of Strength Qi colliding rang out in an instant.
A great battle erupted on the peak of the mountain.
At the bottom of the "Suicide Pool", Tang Huan's heart was still as calm as water.
Compared to the beginning, the speed at which he absorbed and refined the "Grandmist Immortal Liquid" was countless times faster. As his body continued to transform, the power formed by the refined "Grandmist Immortal Liquid" became easier and easier to fuse with his body. This, in turn, increased the speed of his transformation.
