Chapter 1120: Chapter 1140: Your Words Are Slightly Hurtful_1

The radiance became extremely dim, as if it would disappear at any moment. However, at this time, the spiritual energy in the air suddenly became incredibly active, converging towards the water pool from all directions, rushing into it like rivers entering the sea, and eventually disappearing into the pool.

Absorbing spiritual energy and transforming it into Immortal Spirit Qi?

Lin Chen acutely noticed that the concentration of spiritual energy in the air was rapidly decreasing. Soon, the spiritual energy became very thin, just like in the Human World.

Lin Chen suddenly understood.

Master once said that he was hiding on this island, and his strength couldn’t be fully utilized. It turned out that it was because the water pool absorbed the spiritual energy, causing it to thin out, and thus, his strength was suppressed.

When all the spiritual energy was absorbed by the pool, the radiance disappeared completely, and the gray fog enveloped the entire pool once again.

The huge beasts near the water pool dispersed one by one; two even passed by Lin Chen’s side.

The water pool returned to its serene state.

"Fairy, the spiritual energy has been absorbed into the pool, and the thin spiritual energy significantly affects my combat power..."

Xuan Ji replied, "It doesn’t matter much. You go down to the pool and take a look. I’m also curious about what’s underneath. Once we get it, we’ll run!"

It doesn’t matter much?

Lin Chen pursed his lips, thinking, Well, it indeed doesn’t matter much whether my combat power exists or not, as long as your combat power is still maintained.

That was somewhat hurtful.

"Can there be giant beasts in the water too?"

Xuan Ji answered, "Probably not; otherwise, it wouldn’t have missed the commotion just now. It would have joined in on the fun."

Lin Chen thought so too, and slightly relaxed. He started moving towards the water pool.

Soon, Lin Chen arrived at the edge of the water pool. Looking at the dark and dense pool water, Lin Chen subconsciously felt a bit nervous.

It was the fear of the unknown.

"Go in, I’ll protect you."

"Alright!"

Lin Chen gritted his teeth, dived into the water pool, swam to the center first, and then dived downwards.

He had memorized the location where the radiance burst out earlier. The radiance was sprayed out in a straight line, which meant that the treasure should be at the bottom of this spot.

Lin Chen was too lazy to dive and casually took out a heavy weapon from his spatial ring. The immense weight dragged Lin Chen all the way down to the bottom of the pool.

Lin Chen initially thought that the pool didn’t seem too big, so the depth should be limited. However, he was wrong.

The pool was bottomless!

Not only was it very deep, but as he continued to dive, the water temperature became colder and colder.

The bone-chilling cold constantly corroded Lin Chen’s body, and black Profound Ice even appeared on him.

He felt that his soul was about to be frozen.

This is too deep!

This is too cold!

Lin Chen suddenly realized that it wasn’t that the giant beasts didn’t want to snatch the treasure below, but they simply didn’t dare to go so deep!

Just when Lin Chen felt that he was about to be completely ice-sealed, he suddenly sensed strong spiritual energy fluctuations.

Lin Chen’s heart was overjoyed: hold on a bit more!

After descending another hundred meters or so, Lin Chen’s feet finally touched the ground. The strong spiritual energy fluctuation source was about five meters ahead of him.

Lin Chen’s divine sense swept through the source of the spiritual energy fluctuation and roughly determined that it was a metal piece from its shape.

Lin Chen was almost frozen stiff at this point. How could he care about carefully searching and observing?

Lin Chen made a grabbing motion with his hand; the metal piece flew up immediately and landed in Lin Chen’s hand.

He tossed the piece directly into his spatial ring, recalled the heavy weapon, and struck out a palm.

The immense recoil propelled Lin Chen to rocket upwards like a torpedo. When the momentum almost faded, he struck another palm.

"Splash!"

Lin Chen burst out of the water pool, his body covered in a layer of black Profound Ice. His entire body had turned deathly pale due to the extreme cold, like a pale corpse, teeth chattering and utterly embarrassed.

"So cold!"

Lin Chen shook off and shattered the black Profound Ice on his body, took out the Water and Fire Mirror, and released a scorching flame.

The high temperature made Lin Chen’s ice-like body feel warm again. After a while, Lin Chen’s chattering teeth finally returned to normal.

"Fairy, we’ve got the treasure. Can we leave now?"

"Yes."

Just as Lin Chen was about to leave, a ghastly scream suddenly came from the sky above. At the same time, a huge figure swooped down, covering the sky.

"Watch out!"

Xuan Ji warned and simultaneously struck a palm towards the sky.

The colossal body of the Terrifying Bird appeared in Lin Chen’s sight, but as soon as it revealed itself, it was slapped away by Xuan Ji’s palm.

The Terrifying Bird’s body tumbled like a meteorite, smashing into the nearby cliff, and directly crushing half of it.

Even a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator couldn’t withstand Xuan Ji’s strike, yet this Terrifying Bird got up unscathed and let out another earth-shaking scream.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The ground trembled, and perhaps hearing the scream of the Terrifying Bird, many giant beasts quickly surrounded them from all sides.
