Chapter 690: Chapter 766: The Underwater Cave Mansion, Immortal and Indestructible

Driven by curiosity, Chen Nan continued to swim forward.

About two hundred meters ahead, more brilliant white lights appeared in front, not just one this time.

Without a doubt, these were the skeletons of peerless masters.

Chen Nan’s heart shook. So many peerless masters had all perished here! He swam closer and, without any surprises, these were all female skeletons.

Piles of white bones stacked like mountains.

The size of the Underground Lake was unknown, and Chen Nan followed the direction where the bones were most densely piled, constantly swimming forward.

He swam at least two thousand meters, and along the way, there were bones everywhere, with the most being those severely decayed emitting a faint glow, estimated to be in the thousands, and those with slightly brighter light, also in the hundreds.

And the skeletons of the peerless masters that shone like lamplight numbered over twenty.

Such a number of masters could only have fallen here due to a terribly fierce battle that must have occurred in this place in the past.

Chen Nan continued forward, wanting to see just how many peerless masters had died here, and what kind of place lay at the end of this pile of bones.

He walked several hundred meters more, and the bones behind him became increasingly numerous.

In another five hundred meters, the number of skeletons Chen Nan saw was twice that of the previous two thousand meters, with over fifty belonging to peerless masters alone.

Adding those seen earlier, a total of over seventy!

These were at least powerful beings from the Heavenly Realm, and so many had perished all at once, what terrible event had occurred here?

Chen Nan could hardly imagine.

After another fifty meters, he saw a huge rock in front of him with a strangely shaped opening on the rock wall.

Why say it was strangely shaped? Because the shape of the opening looked like a bird, not just any bird, but like the mythical fire bird—the Vermilion Bird.

Chen Nan swam over the countless bones towards the cave entrance.

This Underwater Cave Mansion, likely from the same era as these bones, might have housed some peerless master, possibly leaving behind some supreme treasure.

After all, that’s how it’s often depicted in martial arts TV shows.

Although Chen Nan felt it was unreliable, since so many years had passed and any treasures would have decayed long ago, he stepped into the cave entrance with a mentality of trying it out and out of curiosity about this Underwater Cave Mansion.

No sooner had he walked into the cave than a chilling aura hit him, making Chen Nan shiver.

Once inside the cave, he discovered there was a Water Repelling Barrier at the opening, formed by some kind of energy. Outside the barrier were the endless waters of the Underground Lake, but once inside the cave, it was extremely dry, and even the water on his clothes was absorbed by the Water Repelling Barrier.

Moreover, puzzlingly, while the interior of the cave was dry, it felt colder than the outside lake, exceptionally eerie and chilling to the bone, making Chen Nan feel somewhat chilly inside.

"What kind of spooky place is this?"

Chen Nan used his Inner Strength to ward off the cold.

Although the cave was pitch dark, with his current level of Cultivation, he could still see.

After walking through the entrance, there was a corridor inside.

Chen Nan followed the corridor for about ten meters when suddenly a "whoosh" sound came, and the oil lamps in the corridor lit up automatically, illuminating the entire pathway.

Chen Nan looked down the corridor.

He discovered that on either side of the passageway, there stood rows of what appeared to be terracotta warriors.

However, as he stepped closer, he found they were not terracotta warriors because they were dressed in cloth and their faces were yellowish-black, with eye sockets deeply sunken, leaving only a layer of skin over the bones—they were actually mummies!

"Hiss..."

Chen Nan jumped in shock and involuntarily took a step back.

Despite his boldness and even propensity to kill, at this moment, he too felt a chill down his spine, standing between two rows of mummified corpses—anyone would be disturbed.

Like the skeletons outside, these two rows of mummies were all female.

"Drip..."

"Drip..."

"Drip..."

The tunnel was incredibly quiet; only the sound of Chen Nan’s footsteps echoed.

He cautiously watched the mummified corpses around him, fearing that any one of them was not yet dead and might suddenly lash out at him.

After walking about fifty meters forward, Chen Nan saw a large red door ahead.

At the moment, the door was tightly closed.

Chen Nan walked up to the door and hesitated for a moment before slowly pushing it open.

"Clatter, clatter, clatter..."

The moment the door opened, Chen Nan was so frightened that he stumbled several steps backward.

Inside the door was a large hall, the sight within it astonishing to him.

Because on either side of the hall stood two rows of mummified corpses, four on the left and surprisingly, five on the right. In front of the main seat of the hall stood a woman in red!

What truly amazed Chen Nan was this woman in red!

She was pierced by nine Flying Swords, each blade passing through her body.

Yet despite such, she differed from the other mummies: her skin was tender, her face delicate, resembling a living girl, and even the blood on those Flying Swords seemed fresh, as if it had just flowed out.

Had it not been for her closed eyes and the lack of any signs of life on her body, Chen Nan might even think the woman was still alive!

"Could she also be from thousands of years ago?"

Chen Nan was startled by this thought; if it were a person who died thousands, or even more years ago, and yet the body did not decompose, how terrifying must her Cultivation have been in life?

Pierced by nine Flying Swords, each sword running through her body, yet she remained standing even in death, a testament to a remarkably stubborn warrior!

Chen Nan slowly walked toward the woman in red.

Not knowing where he got the courage from, he wanted to carefully inspect her and see if there was any sign of life left, otherwise, how could the body of someone deceased for thousands of years still be intact!

Approaching the woman in red, Chen Nan slowly extended his hand, touching her forehead.

Calming himself down, Chen Nan used his spiritual power to sense any life force in her; however, he discovered that the woman in red was indeed completely dead, with no trace of life whatsoever.

However, just as he was about to withdraw his hand—

"Boom!"

Chen Nan felt a loud explosion in his mind, and a severe pain emanated from his Sea of Consciousness, making him quickly retract his hand.

"How could this be?"

Chen Nan stepped back in shock.

He knew he had just experienced a Spiritual Attack, but the woman in red before him was clearly dead; she shouldn’t have been able to attack him. Could there be someone else here?

Chen Nan quickly turned around, scanning the hall, his face suddenly turning pale.

Of the five mummies standing to the right, the one at the very front had vanished; now only four remained!
