253: Chapter 252 The Secret Underwater, Ancient Divine Iron

Marshal Tianpeng looked at the several shattered warships, his face turning ashen.

"Arrogant brat! Do you truly think this Marshal is afraid of you?!"

"On land, I might fear you a little, but within this Heavenly River, I am a god!"

Marshal Tianpeng let out a roar, slamming his Nine-Toothed Rake into the deck beneath his feet while chanting an incantation.

"Heavenly River Grand Formation! Water Dragon's Cry!"

"Ang—!!!"

The entire Heavenly River seemed to come alive. Countless massive water dragons condensed from Weak Water rose from the river's surface, baring their fangs and claws. Each one emitted an aura comparable to the Late Stage of a Golden Immortal. A total of eighty-one water dragons completely surrounded Lin Feng.

"Interesting, using the terrain to your advantage?"

Lin Feng looked around. Although these water dragons were not living creatures, under the enhancement of the grand Formation and within this Weak Water environment, they were immortal and indestructible existences that could instantly reform even if dispersed.

"Master! Below! There's something good down there!"

Just as Lin Feng was about to face them head-on, Huang Fugui, hiding in Lin Feng's ear, suddenly cried out in excitement, his little paws pointing frantically toward the depths of the water.

"I smell it! That's... that's the scent of Chaos! So hard! So thick! Such a big treasure!"

"Chaos? A treasure?"

Lin Feng's heart stirred.

Although his current weapon, the asura dragon-slaying blade, was a Top-grade Immortal Artifact, it still felt a bit thin and not "heavy" enough when facing large-scale army battles or top-tier experts.

He had always wanted to find a heavy weapon that could withstand his monstrous physical strength.

"At the bottom of the water?"

"Yes! Right beneath the core of this grand Formation! That fat pig is only able to control so much Weak Water because he's borrowing the power of that treasure!" Huang Fugui said with certainty.

"Good!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Feng's eyes.

Since it was a hassle to fight up here, he would go down and pull out that fatty's "root"!

"Tianpeng! You can stay up here and play in the mud! I'm leaving!"

Lin Feng suddenly retracted his defensive stance and, like a nimble fish, dove headfirst into the bottomless Heavenly River!

"Trying to run?! It won't be that easy!"

Seeing this, Marshal Tianpeng thought Lin Feng was trying to escape through the water and immediately commanded the eighty-one water dragons to pursue him. "Chase him! In the water, he'll die even faster!"

However, once underwater, the situation completely exceeded Tianpeng's expectations.

At the bottom of the Heavenly River, undercurrents surged and the pressure was terrifyingly immense; even a Golden Immortal would be crushed into a meat patty here.

But Lin Feng walked as if on level ground. His Physical Body, tempered through countless trials, actually felt exceptionally comfortable here.

"Fugui, lead the way!"

"Over there! Beneath that glowing pillar!"

Lin Feng dived rapidly following the guidance.

Soon, at the murky bottom of the river, he saw a... rusty iron pillar?

This pillar was pitch black all over, covered in unknown water weeds and rust. It was only as thick as an arm, yet it was deeply embedded in the bedrock of the riverbed.

Around the pillar, countless complex Formation runes were continuously extracting a gray energy from it to power the grand Formation above.

"This is the treasure?" Lin Feng was a bit skeptical. "It looks like a piece of scrap iron."

"Master! Don't be fooled by its appearance! This is... this is a leftover scrap from the sea-pacifying needle!"

Huang Fugui was so excited he was almost in tears. "It has the aura of Chaos Divine Iron on it! I definitely can't be wrong! Just a little bit of it can upgrade your blade into an Acquired Supreme Treasure!"

"A leftover scrap from the sea-pacifying needle?"

Lin Feng's eyes instantly lit up. That was the weapon of the legendary Great Sage Equaling Heaven! Even if it was just a scrap, it was still a divine object!

"Whatever, I'll pull it out first!"

Lin Feng swam to the iron pillar and gripped the rough shaft with both hands.

"Rise!!!"

Circulating the Eternal Undying Sutra to its limit, the muscles in Lin Feng's arms instantly doubled in size, and golden Divine Power surged into the iron pillar like a volcanic eruption.

"Rumble—!!!!"

The moment Lin Feng exerted his strength, a terrifying earthquake erupted across the entire floor of the Heavenly River!

That seemingly unremarkable iron pillar was actually incredibly heavy! It felt as if it were connected to the entire earth and the weight of the entire Heavenly River!

"Rise for me...!!!"

Lin Feng roared, veins bulging on his forehead, as large sections of the riverbed rock beneath his feet shattered.

"Crack... crack crack..."

The iron pillar finally moved!

As the iron pillar was slowly pulled up, a terrifying current of Chaos air erupted from beneath the ground!

The originally calm waters of the Heavenly River suddenly became like a wild horse that had lost its restraints, instantly spiraling out of control!

Outside.

Marshal Tianpeng was controlling the water dragons to hunt down Lin Feng when he suddenly felt the warship beneath his feet lurch violently. The surrounding water level was dropping at an alarming rate—no, it was flowing backward!

A massive whirlpool had actually appeared in the entire Heavenly River, and a terrifying reverse flow was occurring!

"What's happening?! The Formation... the Formation is out of control?!"

Marshal Tianpeng turned pale with fright. He discovered to his horror that his connection with the Heavenly River Grand Formation had been severed!

"Is that... the River-Suppressing Divine Iron?!"

He suddenly remembered an ancient legend. An ancient divine iron was suppressed at the bottom of the Heavenly River to stabilize its water veins.

Could it be... that lunatic is pulling out the divine iron?!

"Stop!! Stop at once! Do you want to kill all one hundred thousand soldiers of the Water Navy?!!"

Marshal Tianpeng let out a desperate howl.

But it was too late.

"Boom!!!"

With an earth-shattering boom, Lin Feng burst out of the water, clutching the black divine iron which had grown to ten zhang long after being pulled out!

As the divine iron left the ground, the Heavenly River rioted!

Towering waves instantly overturned all the warships! The one hundred thousand soldiers of the Water Navy were swept into the violent whirlpool like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Their miserable screams echoed as they were washed away in total disarray, their army completely decimated!

"Hahaha! What a treasure! A fine treasure indeed!"

Lin Feng hovered in mid-air, wielding the incredibly heavy divine iron, finding it exceptionally handy.

Although this divine iron hadn't been refined, its material was incredibly hard and it came with inherent "Law-Breaking" and "Heavy Pressure" attributes. With one strike, any Formation or shield would be shattered!

"System! Refine it for me!"

Without any hesitation, Lin Feng threw the divine iron and the asura dragon-slaying blade in his hand into the System's furnace.

"I want to fuse this divine iron into the blade! And add those top-grade Materials from before!"

"Forge for me... a truly peerless weapon of slaughter!"

[Ding! Command received!]

[Consuming 2 trillion critical hit points!]

[Fusing Chaos Divine Iron, asura dragon-slaying blade, Deep Sea Profound Crystal...]

[Forging in progress...]

In the sky, the winds and clouds shifted color as thunder rolled.

A brand new long saber, pitch black as ink with a gray current of Chaos flowing along the blade, slowly took shape.

[Ding! Forging successful!]

[Congratulations Host, you have obtained an Acquired Supreme Treasure—the chaos asura blade!]

[Attributes: Heavy as a star, indestructible, comes with the 'Shatter' Law!]

Lin Feng grabbed the hilt.

"Buzz!"

The long saber let out a cheerful hum, and the surrounding space was directly sliced into fine cracks by the Saber Qi.

"What a fine blade!"

Killing intent surged in Lin Feng's eyes as he snapped his head around to look at the wretched Marshal Tianpeng, who was currently clutching a piece of driftwood.

"Fatty, your Formation is gone, and so is your army."

"Now, it's time to send you on your way."}],
