112: Deep Sea Monster Cave

Deep in the High Seas, the waves were surging.

Chen Nian turned into a streak of blood-red light, speeding across the sea surface at an incredible pace.

His perception was like an invisible radar, firmly locking onto the source of the evil fluctuations emanating from the deep sea.

The deeper he went, the more intense the cold, filthy aura became.

Finally, he hovered a hundred meters in the air, looking down at the sea surface below.

This area of the sea was calm, the azure water shimmering under the sunlight, showing no signs of anything unusual.

However, under Chen Nian's far-beyond-ordinary perception, a surging undercurrent was hidden beneath this calm surface.

A massive and evil energy fluctuation was continuously emanating from the bottomless seabed.

"It seems this is the place."

Chen Nian muttered to himself, his face showing no sign of gravity, but rather a hint of playfulness.

In the next second, he no longer hesitated; his body, like a shell fired from a cannon, plunged straight and fiercely toward the sea surface below.

"Splash—!"

Water splashed everywhere.

His figure instantly disappeared above the sea surface.

Cold, darkness, and a terrifying pressure enough to crush steel swept in from all directions.

However, just as the seawater was about to touch his body, a faint layer of golden spiritual energy automatically emerged from his body, forming a shield as thin as a cicada's wing, enveloping him entirely.

All the seawater was perfectly isolated by this golden shield.

Chen Nian unexpectedly discovered that under the protection of this spiritual energy shield, he could actually breathe freely in the deep sea, as if he were on land.

He couldn't help but feel a bit of novelty.

He didn't dwell too much on this matter.

The power of the Prison Suppressing Divine Body flowed slowly through his limbs and bones; that terrifying pressure from the deep sea was no different from a gentle breeze to him.

He adjusted his posture, his body like the most agile fish, and continued to dive rapidly toward the source of the energy fluctuation.

Finally, in his perception, a strange fault appeared ahead.

An incredibly massive undersea cave appeared before him.

The entrance to the cave was over a hundred meters in diameter and bottomless, like a giant abyssal mouth waiting to devour someone.

A layer of energy barrier emanating terrifying power enveloped the entire cave, clearly not a simple defensive measure.

Outside that massive cave, a dense army of various Demonic Evils was formed, guarding the entrance so tightly that not even water could leak through.

There were burly mermen holding tridents.

There were massive octopus monsters with tentacles all over their bodies.

There were also countless ghost-fire-like floating Phantom Jellyfish, and even more strangely-shaped deep-sea monsters that he couldn't name.

They were numerous, and every single Demonic Evil emitted a not-weak aura.

The moment Chen Nian appeared.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dozens of fierce and brutal gazes locked onto him simultaneously.

"A human?"

The largest merman Demonic Evil stepped forward from the crowd, speaking in human tongue, its voice vibrating in the seawater, filled with tyranny and killing intent.

"How bold of you to dare intrude into the 'Abyssal Sea Dragon Lord's' Slumbering Sanctuary alone!"

"What were those useless trash outside doing, to actually let you break through to here!"

Another Demonic Evil with a snake's body and a human's head also let out a sharp hiss.

"Who cares how he got here!"

"Kill him, tear his flesh to pieces, and offer his Soul to the great Dragon Lord!"

"Kill!"

For a moment, the crowd was agitated, and killing intent boiled.

Dozens of Demonic Evils were ready to move, their terrifying Demonic Qi gathering together, almost turning this sea area into a pot of muddy water.

However, facing this lineup that would drive any Spiritual Energy Bureau Agent to despair, Chen Nian's face didn't show even a hint of a ripple.

He just smiled contemptuously and said faintly.

"Go die."

He simply spat out those two words mockingly.

Then, under the astonished gazes of all the Demonic Evils, he raised his right hand and gave a gentle wave forward.

Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder, activate!

"Boom—!!!"

In an instant, purple lightning, blinding to the extreme, erupted violently with him as the center.

This time, it was in the deep sea.

And the extremely masculine and destructive energy of the Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder, amplified by the seawater, gained a terrifying geometric increase in power.

The purple lightning turned into a violent sea of electricity, instantly sweeping through everything within thousands of meters ahead.

The ferocity and brutality on the faces of those Demonic Evils, who were just clamoring to tear Chen Nian apart, instantly froze.

In the next second, their bodies were forcibly electrolyzed and decomposed into the most primitive particles within that violent lightning.

No screams.

No struggling.

Not even a speck of ash was left behind.

Just one strike!

Only one strike!

The dozens of powerful Demonic Evils guarding outside the cave were completely wiped out.

Not even a single scrap remained!

This sea area returned to dead silence once more.

At the same time, in Chen Nian's mind, a series of dense System announcements rang out frantically.

[Ding! Killed Second-Tier Demon 'Deep Sea Yaksha', gained 388 points!]

[Ding! Killed Third-Tier Demon 'Giant Spirit Octopus', gained 721 points!]

[Ding! Killed Third-Tier Demon 'Ghost-Faced Snake Demon', gained 855 points!]

[Ding! Killed Fourth-Tier Fiend 'Abyssal Sea Merman', gained 1855 points!]

...A series of notification sounds rang out one after another in Chen Nian's mind.

However, Chen Nian didn't care much about this.

His gaze had already fallen upon the massive energy barrier enveloping the cave entrance.

He could feel that the energy of this barrier was very strong, containing a trace of ancient and powerful might.

But, that was all.

Chen Nian raised his hand again, and another bolt of Evil-Warding Heavenly Thunder blasted fiercely toward that barrier.

"Boom—!"

"Crack!"

Purple lightning snakes danced wildly, slamming hard against the energy barrier.

That indestructible barrier trembled violently under the violent power of the lightning, with spiderweb-like cracks appearing on its surface.

Following that, with a crisp shattering sound, the entire barrier 轟然炸裂.

The terrifying Demonic Qi could no longer be suppressed.

Like a volcano that had been building up for ten thousand years, it suddenly erupted from that deep cave.

It was a terrifying aura far more massive, pure, and infinitely more evil than all the previous Demonic Evils combined.

As soon as this aura erupted, the surrounding seawater seemed to be dyed with a layer of ink, becoming thick and oppressive.

At the same time, the System's announcement rang out once again.

[Ding! Detected powerful monster individual—Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon!]

[Special mission triggered: Kill the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon!]

[Mission Reward: 30,000 points, obtain skill 'Soul-Capturing Dragon Roar'!]

Hearing the System's prompt, a satisfied curve finally formed at the corner of Chen Nian's mouth.

The mission reward this time is actually 30,000 points?

It seems there really is a big fish hidden inside.

This trip to the High Seas was indeed not in vain.

He looked toward the pitch-black cave entrance, which was continuously spewing out terrifying Demonic Qi.

It was as if it connected to the true Nine Serenities Hell.

A vast and boundless terrifying will was slowly awakening in the deepest part of the cave.

He didn't hesitate for a moment and continued advancing directly toward the cave.
