"You won't be able to escape!" Guo Tiannan laughed coldly. Given his level of cultivation, if he were to allow a Godchild of the Blood Sea to escape, he would be utterly humiliated.
Zhao Yuande was extremely familiar with Sunset Gorge. When he saw a deep pool of water off in the distance, his eyes instantly lit up.
This was the Infinity Pool. Supposedly, the pool was unfathomably deep, and no one had ever been able to find out how deep it was. Not even World-level experts were able to reach the bottom of the pool. Based on his calculations, this pool had to have some sort of tunnel that led to other underground rivers. Only by entering the tunnel would he be able to escape Guo Tiannan's pursuit.
But of course, he had other options as well. For example, he could crush the jade talisman that Ming Zhen had given him and activate Daoist Purgatory's Sword-Essence clone. However, he felt that it would be too much of a waste to deal with a mere Domain expert. Unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn't use these methods.
His body leapt repeatedly, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in the air above the pool. He then dove headfirst into the pool.
"I'll collect some interest right now!" A giant hand suddenly pierced through space, appearing behind Zhao Yuande and slapping him viciously on the back.
The terrifying force of the blow nearly knocked Zhao Yuande unconscious. If it hadn't been for the fact that he had the Sacred Chaos Body, which was comparable to a high-grade spirit-treasure, this blow would've chopped him in half, even if it hadn't killed him.
"Ugh!"
Zhao Yuande spat out a mouthful of blood, then dove headfirst into the pool.
Virtually all of his internal organs had been ruptured, and a terrifying amount of power had invaded his body, constantly destroying his meridians and blood vessels. It was as though an even more terrifying storm was brewing within his body.
"Invulnerable Body!"
Zhao Yuande's body was filled with a vast amount of blood essence from the Blood Sea within his body. In the blink of an eye, his body had suffered a terrifying amount of damage. Ordinary cultivators would've needed to rest for several months to recover from these injuries, but in just a few blinks of an eye, he had completely recovered!
Zhao Yuande adjusted his direction in the water, then began to swim furiously towards the depths of the pool.
Guo Tiannan, who had been confidently waiting for the heavily injured Zhao Yuande to surface, suddenly had a change in his expression. From what he could sense with his Divine Sense, that kid didn't seem to have been injured at all. He was swimming faster than a fish!
Guo Tiannan's large hand slapped towards the pool of water. The terrifying power of the Heavenly King Stage erupted, almost turning the entire pool upside down.
Zhao Yuande was almost crushed by the terrifying pressure under the water. Moreover, one after another, divine souls entered the pool with the explosive power and began to search for traces of Zhao Yuande.
Zhao Yuande forcefully suppressed the surging blood and Qi in his chest and abdomen. He knew in his heart that if the other party really did this a few more times, he would probably be tortured to death before he could escape to the bottom of the lake.
He might as well use his last resort. His spirit spread out around him, blocking the other's spirit from probing, while he entered the space of the bronze furnace.
Inside the bronze cauldron, Scarlet Ape was scratching its head in boredom.
When he saw Zhao Yuande come in, he immediately went to his side.
Don't worry about your matter, my life is at stake right now!
He controlled the core of the bronze cauldron's formation and could freely change the size of the cauldron. Now was the time to put it to good use.
The palm-sized cauldron instantly turned into a speck of dust, floating in the water. If one's spirit wasn't powerful enough to specifically scan the area, one wouldn't be able to discover the existence of the cauldron.
Guo Tiannan didn't belong to that category. He only felt something under the water obstruct his spirit for a moment, and then that kid disappeared into thin air!
He didn't believe in superstition and rushed into the pool of water, diving down continuously. However, even after diving for more than ten thousand feet, he still couldn't find Zhao Yuande's shadow.
The bottom of the pool had become murky and muddy. He felt as if there was a terrifying shadow spying on him from the shadows. Even he felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
"Roar!"
A strange cry came from the darkness below. A ferocious and huge snake head rushed out of the darkness, biting towards Guo Tiannan!
"Blackwater Mystical Snake!"
Guo Tiannan was shocked when he saw the snake head. It was the Class Eight Blackwater Mystical Snake. He didn't expect such a terrifying monster to be hiding under the water.
Although he was at the last stage of the Stage Six Realm and his combat strength was comparable to a Class Eight Beast, his opponent had a natural advantage underwater. He was definitely no match for this Blackwater Mystical Snake!
And according to his guess, the kid just now had probably dived into the depths of the pool and was eaten by this Blackwater Mystical Snake!
As for the deaths of the two elders, he had already explained it to the Alliance. So, the only thing he needed to do now was to rush out of the water and leave this place.
However, the Blackwater Mystical Snake wouldn't let him leave so easily. Its huge body trembled as it chased after Guo Tiannan.
The two powerhouses, one running and one chasing, quickly rushed out of the water and engaged in an earth-shattering battle.
At this time, Zhao Yuande had already been brought to the deepest part of the pool by the undercurrent. Near the bottom of the pool, he saw piles of white bones, a few spiritual herbs that shone with a faint blue light, and a huge plant that was slowly climbing to the bottom of the pool.
"Aquamarine Orchid Plant. Eating it can increase a cultivator's affinity with the water element … Mid-level ingredient. Paired with the recipe 'Pure Jade Body', there is a chance to upgrade a cultivator's water element physique to the Pure Jade Body. Ingredient list …"
Zhao Yuande almost jumped up in excitement when he saw the appraisal result. This was practically tailor-made for Ji Yuling. He had to give her a surprise when he returned!
As for the other strange plant, it was a series of question marks under his appraisal!
What did this mean?! It meant that the level of this plant was too high, beyond the scope of his appraisal!
For cultivators, he could appraise spiritual herbs that were three levels higher than him, but for spiritual herbs, he could appraise spiritual herbs that were four levels higher than him. However, this plant was obviously above level eight, so he couldn't be sure.
Since he couldn't be sure, he wasn't in a hurry to pick it. One had to know that some spiritual herbs had very strict conditions. If he didn't do it right, this precious spiritual herb would become useless. In the future, when he improved his level, or found out what this spiritual herb was, he had to come here again and take it away.
After picking a few Aquamarine Orchids, he still didn't dare to go out. He could only approach the strange plant and observe it carefully.
To his surprise, as soon as he controlled the dust from the bronze cauldron to approach the plant, he felt a strong suction force from the roots of the plant.
He was shocked and wanted to leave with the cauldron, but it was too late. A huge whirlpool appeared and swallowed him directly.
"What!"
Zhao Yuande only felt that he was sucked into a huge black hole. After a strange feeling of heaven and earth being turned upside down and the sun and moon sinking, his eyes suddenly lit up. He was surprised to find that he seemed to have entered another strange world.
He appeared in a blood-red world. The ground was filled with blood-red stones, and a large river flowed with red water. He did not know where it came from, but a group of gigantic hippopotamus-like monsters crouched on both sides of the river.
"Nether Hippopotamus. Its defense is very strong and can't be killed easily. After being infected by the Nether Blood River, its body is extremely poisonous. It can't be used as an ingredient …"
Above the red river, there was a stone bridge that spanned both sides.
