Chapter 2242: Chapter 2262: Giant Sword in the Water_1

"Boom!"

A massive magical beast struggled in midair before falling into the water, creating sky-high splashes with its huge body.

As the creature flailed on the surface, desperately trying to take off and fly again, it seemed to have sustained serious injuries and lost the ability to fly. Despite the commotion, it couldn’t seem to rise again.

The thrashing beast disturbed many underwater magical beasts, and a massive creature quietly rose in the water, its long tentacles slicing through the currents toward the surface.

"Splash!"

In the midst of the water’s tumult, a giant tentacle wreathed in black mist shot out from the depths, soared half a circle in midair, looped back, and grasped the struggling beast.

The next second, the beast that was fluttering on the water sank directly below, creating a huge whirlpool.

The surface quickly returned to tranquility.

Above the clouds, people floated quietly, each of them filled with expectation.

About ten minutes passed, and suddenly, a dull, thunderous noise came from the calm waters below.

The sound was deep, like muffled thunder—not loud, but it caused considerable commotion.

The whole earth seemed to tremble violently, and within a hundred miles, the waters churned as if boiling, with countless bubbles rising rapidly.

At the same time, a piercing scream cut through the endless waters, spreading far and wide.

The onlookers were overjoyed.

"It looks like we’ve succeeded!"

"Even if that guy isn’t dead, he must be close to death!"

Qi Wuchang, his eyes sharp and filled with the intent to kill, said, "Strike it while it’s down—go!"

Zhong Shuyu, however, did not move. Instead, he advised, "It’s in a frenzy now. Fighting it in this state could lead us to a serious disadvantage, potentially resulting in both parties being gravely wounded. Let’s wait for it to recover from this blow, as its injuries worsen. Then, our chances of success will be greater."

Qi Wuchang thought it over and agreed, suppressing his impatience, "Then let’s wait a little longer."

Su Yanran said with a smile, "Friend Lin, we owe you a debt of gratitude for this method; otherwise, we wouldn’t know how much effort it would’ve taken."

Lin Chen smiled and replied, "No need to be polite. After all, I also want to go down and see who left that building."

Lin Chen used Su Yanran’s gratitude to suggest he should go down. Although the three were somewhat reluctant, the plan was Lin Chen’s idea and had now borne fruit. Excluding him would obviously be unjust.

If Lin Chen had been an ordinary person, they could have excluded him without worry. But he was associated with True Person Tai Xu—no one dared offend that status.

"There’s danger in the water; the octopus might not be dead yet. If you go down, Friend Lin, there could be risks..."

Lin Chen smiled at Qi Wuchang, who spoke, and lightly laughed, "With three such experts present, what danger could there be for me? Rest assured, I’ll take good care of myself. If something does happen, I won’t blame you."

With Lin Chen saying so, Qi Wuchang and the others naturally had nothing else to say and only cautioned him, "Once we’re underwater, follow behind us. If there’s any danger, you head for the surface first."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Okay!"

Soon after, the turbulent waters below calmed, and the four people moved towards the water.

Lin Chen took out the Water-avoiding Bead, a gift from Ao Li of the Southern Sea, and wore it on his person.

As soon as he entered the water, the bead emitted a soft, warm glow, illuminating the surroundings like a Night Pearl, creating a space several meters in diameter around Lin Chen, allowing him to move as if he were on land, the only difference being the limited visibility compared to being in midair.

While the Water-avoiding Bead was indeed marvelous, Qi Wuchang and the other Daluo Ultimate Immortals had seen countless Magical Treasures and weren’t too surprised, only growing more convinced of Lin Chen’s identity.

Even as a mere servant, whether it was the body technique he learned or the Magical Treasures he had, all were extraordinary. This was the benefit of serving the right person.

Even being a servant to someone like True Person Tai Xu was far more promising than being a core disciple in an ordinary Cultivation Sect—there was simply no comparison between the two.

The four descended further, and it wasn’t long before Lin Chen saw the spire of the building they had mentioned.

It was large, reflecting the metal, and otherwise undistinguished.

They continued downward along the structure, walking for a while, only to become perplexed.

"This doesn’t seem like a building..."

"Indeed, this spire is rather odd. Below is a giant metal column engraved with countless formation patterns..."

They sank for a while longer, then saw the large metal column suddenly extend horizontally to one side.

What was this?

Were they at the bottom yet?

They passed over this horizontal extension and continued to dive, only then seeing an immense metal plate sloping to one side, resembling the vast inclined surfaces of water management stations.

"What is this, so long? Is this metal? Is this an all-metal Building Magical Treasure?"

Lin Chen replayed all the visuals he had seen in his mind; a spark of Spirit Light flashed through, and his eyes suddenly widened in shocked disbelief.

This shape... did it not look like a sword?
