Chapter 2245: Chapter 2265: What Kind of Terrifying Being Is This?_1

The water-avoiding bead’s faint radiance formed a small ball of light, which became the only source of illumination underwater.

Like a falling meteor, the ball of light trailed behind it a horde of Magical Beasts furiously in pursuit.

As they drew nearer and nearer, Lin Chen could already hear their low roars, as if right beside his ear.

Just as they were about to catch up, turning into a black sea of Magical Beasts that would engulf Lin Chen, he discovered that the seemingly bottomless black abyss in front of him was now the ground!

At last!

The tip of the Giant Sword was deeply embedded in the ground, which was covered with countless thick aquatic plants. These plants were incredibly robust, their branches and leaves wafting through the water like huge sea snakes.

The sword is stuck in the ground?

What is the source of that Demonic Qi?

But Lin Chen had no time left to investigate, as the tide of Magical Beasts from behind was already upon him. He turned his head, intending to put away the water-avoiding bead and calmly face death when a sudden surge of terror shot through the water.

Lin Chen felt his heart beating uncontrollably faster, panic dominating his entire heart and mind in an instant.

He was clearly just an avatar, not fearing death, you might say fearless, but at that moment, he still felt an overwhelming fear.

Something eerie happened.

The Magical Beasts had already closed in on him, Lin Chen could even vaguely see their snarling silhouettes, but when that surge forcefully rose, they suddenly halted, then elegantly turned around, twisting their bodies rapidly as they fled.

In the blink of an eye, these ferocious underwater Magical Beasts had vanished without a trace, and calm returned to the surroundings.

Shocked by the change before him, Lin Chen took a deep breath, turned around to survey his surroundings, finding nothing, and no further incidents occurred.

The pulse that had made his scalp tingle and heart race quickly quieted down, the surroundings returning to utter silence so profound that Lin Chen could clearly hear his own heartbeat and the sound of his blood flow.

What was that pulsation?

Lin Chen’s gaze fell on the portion of the blade that was buried in the soil; he always felt that the sword did not appear here without reason, nor did this place become the source of Demonic Qi for no reason.

Since those underwater Magical Beasts dare not approach, Lin Chen helped himself and struck a palm towards the base of the sword.

At his palm’s impact, the ground below the sword instantly exploded, the sweeping currents washing away all the fragmented pieces, and a vast pit suddenly opened up below the sword.

The sword was still stabbed into the ground.

How deep had the sword sunk into the earth?

Lin Chen flew downward, quickly reaching the lowest point. After darting around, he stopped, his eyes resting on the spot where the sword met the ground, revealing an obsidian-like substance that emitted a black radiance similar to Wu Jin.

What is this dark thing?

Rock?

Ore?

Lin Chen drifted down onto the dark ground, squatted, and casually scratched it with his hand.

A scratch appeared on the dark ground, but it was merely an insignificant mark.

"Hmm?"

Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, his scratch should have been able to cut through steel, yet it left only a minor scratch on this surface.

Lin Chen scratched a few more times, examining it closely. His expression gradually changed.

Lin Chen’s face inexplicably became a bit pale, and a sensation as if he had been electrocuted ran through him. He stood up, looking towards the end of the darkness, and muttered in a low voice, "This...is way too scary!"

Grinding his teeth, he struck several more palms towards the front.

He didn’t care if his actions would attract some Terrifying existence. Compared to what he suspected in his mind, the Magical Beasts he had just escaped from were incomparably weak and inconsequential!

With his series of strikes, a large area in front of him was instantly cleared. Similar to the situation under his feet, such violent impacts shattered everything and the currents washed it all away, but the ferocious power stopped at the layer of dark, metallic ground beneath Lin Chen’s feet.

Lin Chen moved forward and walked a long distance before suddenly halting.

Beneath his feet was another layer of dark ground overlaying the one he was standing on. Although the two layers seemed to fit seamlessly together, seeing this made the shock in Lin Chen’s eyes grow even more intense.

Lin Chen followed the overlap between the two dark grounds, tracing a large arc before arriving at another intersection of the dark layers.

Lin Chen stopped, his emotions swirling, shock written all over his face.

His earlier speculation was indeed not wrong!

The dark ground beneath his feet was not some mineral layer of rock but a piece of incredibly defensive, immense scales!

This wasn’t just any black rock layer overlaid; it was obviously a layer of overlapping scales!

If a single scale was so large, what kind of Terrifying existence would possess such scales?

The Giant Sword was not stabbed into the ground, but into the body of this Terrifying existence!
