Without any warning, he suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure on his body!
This pressure was like a mountain pressing down on his heart, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"Damn it!"
"How... how can I suddenly feel this way?"
Jingang gritted his teeth, forcefully enduring it with his own body.
Fortunately, he was no ordinary person, and he could barely hold on.
However, under these circumstances, he had no choice but to slow down.
"Could this be some trick by Ao Yuan?"
Suddenly, a possibility arose in his mind.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, as if disaster would strike at any moment.
Subconsciously, he looked back, wanting to see if Ao Yuan had caught up.
The moment he looked, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
His body stiffened on the spot.
Ao Yuan was coiled in the sky above the small island.
The sky where he was located was filled with lightning and thunder, exuding an incredibly oppressive aura.
Although they were far apart, Ao Yuan's figure was almost blurry to his eyes.
Yet, for some reason, Ao Yuan's pair of pale golden eyes appeared incredibly clear.
It was as if they were right in front of him.
"What... what's going on!"
Jingang was startled and, forcing himself to hold on, tried to quickly leave this place.
He truly did not want to see Ao Yuan again.
However, as he tried to step away.
Swish, swish, swish—
A sudden sound of something cutting through the air entered his ears.
Immediately, Jingang's body trembled several times.
Before he could even question it, his body exhibited another abnormality.
At this moment.
His complexion became incredibly ferocious and terrifying, with veins bulging all over his body.
He gasped for air, as if something was pressing down on his heart.
"Damn it!"
"What kind of technique is this!"
Jingang gritted his teeth, his eyes wide open.
By now, he knew very well that the abnormality in his body was a technique used by Ao Yuan.
"No, I must leave! I've only just emerged, and I still want to reach my peak!"
Jingang roared internally, his strong will to survive making him struggle to straighten his body and try to leave.
But as soon as he took a step, a gentle breeze suddenly blew.
It blew away the fine sweat on his face, but before he could feel any relief.
He saw a colossal figure enveloping him from above.
The terrifying shadow, like a mountain, made him feel even more uncomfortable.
He glanced upwards.
It was Ao Yuan!
But before he could react.
"Weak Water!"
A light shout, accompanied by rolling dragon might, struck his heart.
Then.
Ao Yuan swung his claws, and thousands of water droplets rained down on him.
Bang!
The next second, Jingang felt as if his body could no longer move.
Then!
His body rapidly fell and was swallowed by the seawater!
His colossal body caused wide ripples to spread out as it hit the water.
And his form, like a falling meteor, rapidly sank.
Until he reached the abyssal depths where vision was impossible.
"You think this can kill me?"
"One day, I will reappear!"
Jingang felt that his body was still immobile.
However, he let out a deep sigh of relief.
At least his life was still intact. Even though he was deep underwater, his immense power allowed him to survive without breathing.
It was just that living at the bottom of the sea would be extremely, extremely uncomfortable for him.
However.
Just as he had this thought.
A tremendous sense of crisis suddenly arose again.
But as he turned his head to look in the direction of the crisis.
He only saw a faint green light!
Apart from that, all other figures were shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
"Ah!"
Following that, Jingang let out a scream of agony.
"My leg, my leg..."
Jingang trembled uncontrollably, realizing that his leg seemed to have disappeared.
The rolling seawater was instantly filled with a thick scent of blood.
This was not the end!
Squelch!
A faint sound suddenly echoed in the silent space.
"Ah! My hand... my hand!"
Jingang could not help but let out another scream.
At this moment.
He could no longer feel his hand, as if it had been torn apart by something!
"What... what is this!"
Jingang struggled desperately to survive.
But it was merely a wishful thought.
Before he could move, his vision suddenly went black, and all light vanished.
Even the previously seen green luminescence disappeared.
Following that.
He felt an intense pain, and before he could make a sound.
Jingang's consciousness plunged into chaos.
At this moment.
Jingang!
This ancient remnant!
He was dead!
At this moment, the water surged.
If there had been a beam of light, one would have seen Jingang's colossal body diminishing piece by piece.
His body was covered in sawtooth-like bloodstains.
The strong scent of blood lingered in the deep sea for a long time.
And if the dark seabed could be illuminated.
One would have discovered an enormous creature, far larger than Jingang, devouring Jingang's remains nearby.
This creature was very strange, with emerald green eyes and a ferociously contorted face.
And it
Seemed...
To be gnawing on Jingang.
Unfortunately, this scene in the deep sea was not known to anyone.
Perhaps even if they knew, no one could identify this creature.
This was because human exploration of the ocean on Blue Star was less than one percent!
...
"Huh!"
Ao Yuan, suspended in mid-air, seemed to sense something and let out a soft exclamation, "Dead?"
"Or has it disappeared?"
Ao Yuan murmured, his pupils flickering.
The sudden disappearance of the aura was very strange.
However, Ao Yuan was almost certain of death.
The reason was simple: he could sense that Jingang's aura had not disappeared all at once, but had been gradually diminishing.
From this, it could be seen that Jingang had almost certainly met his end.
After all!
The sea held mysteries.
This was something Ao Yuan had sensed when he first entered the ocean and ventured into that small world.
Now, from Jingang's situation, Ao Yuan leaned more towards his own conjecture.
If Jingang had such capabilities, he would not have fled for his life before.
Instead, like that shadow, he would have casually hidden somewhere, believing he wouldn't be found.
"In that case, then let's find the next one!"
"Who should it be next?"
Ao Yuan squinted his eyes, his gaze scanning around.
Soon!
His gaze slightly lowered, providing the answer.
The sea!
Since the sea held mysteries, and ancient remnants had fled into the deep sea.
It would be remiss not to take a look.
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan did not hesitate any longer, letting out a dragon's roar, as if a dragon swimming in the sea.
He plunged directly into the ocean.
