Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 461
Chapter 461
He kept descending deeper into the sea, his spiritual power spreading out, allowing him to clearly sense the positions of the other star-ranked soldiers.
In the abyss, the grandmaster qi shields of the star-ranked soldiers stood out like light bulbs in the dark. Sixty or seventy such bulbs were all rapidly descending in the same direction.
After descending several thousand meters, a vast area of darkness suddenly appeared in the seawater. From within the darkness, shadows darted out and rapidly attacked the star-ranked soldiers.
At first, Lu Sheng followed the main group, but later, he quietly broke away from the team. He even managed to evade the underwater cameras that had been following him, retracting his grandmaster qi shield.
The surging seawater pressed against his skin, bringing a cool sensation. He activated the Natural Breathing Technique. Initially, Lu Sheng used internal breathing, but before long, all the pores on his body opened, allowing fresh oxygen to continuously flow in through his skin.
“Breath of Water …” Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened slightly, though he wasn’t surprised. He had long since mastered the Breath of Ice, so it was only natural that he could now quickly grasp the Breath of Water.
Level 3 of Empty State!
Upon entering Level 3 of Empty State, Lu Sheng’s ability to control elements instantly advanced by two stages. The newly mastered Breath of Water immediately soared to a brand-new level, undergoing even more wondrous changes.
“Breathing underwater is now much easier, and the pressure from the seawater has almost disappeared. I even have the ability to control the water currents …” Lu Sheng experimented a little and found the results quite satisfactory.
Underwater combat was a challenging task, even for top-tier star-ranked soldiers.
The fissures of the abyssal caves in the sea started at several thousand meters underwater, and going just a bit deeper could reach depths of ten thousand meters.
“Before the rise of martial arts, the deepest submersible humans had could only dive to just over ten thousand meters. At such depths, the hydrostatic pressure exceeds one ton!”
For top-tier star-ranked soldiers, whose combat strength ranged from ten to twenty stars, a ton of pressure wasn’t much. But this was underwater, where the pressure came from all directions with no dead angles, and it was constant.
“Without the grandmaster’s qi shield, even a Level 8 grandmaster wouldn’t last long in the water, let alone fight …” Furthermore, because of the pressure at such depths, the exotic beasts in the abyss were generally much stronger than those on the surface at the same level.
With one’s strength severely reduced and the enemy’s strength greatly enhanced, the difficulty of these trials was self-evident …
“Having mastered the Breath of Water makes things much better. I estimate that even if I dive to depths of ten thousand meters, my strength won’t be greatly affected …”
As he thought about this, Lu Sheng, like a sleek black fish, nimbly swam toward a coral reef at the mouth of the abyssal fissure. With dozens of top-tier star-ranked soldiers drawing all the aggro, this place was relatively safe.
Lu Sheng quickly scanned the area with his spiritual power, swam to a coral cluster, and reached out with his hand. He grabbed hold of a thick, slippery tentacle and forcefully pulled it out.
A massive octopus, over ten meters long, was yanked out of the coral cave by Lu Sheng.
This octopus was particularly hideous, with multiple deformities all over its body, likely the result of consuming too much exotic beast blood near the abyss, which had mutated its genes.
The ugly octopus flailed its numerous tentacles wildly and opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp, black teeth, attempting to bite Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng remained expressionless and gently flicked his right hand.
A terrifying shockwave traveled through the tentacle Lu Sheng held, instantly spreading throughout the entire body of the ugly octopus. The giant octopus convulsed violently as if electrocuted, creating ripples in the water.
Then, Lu Sheng’s powerful spiritual force pierced into the octopus’s brain, crudely implanting his will into it.
Willpower Manipulation. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Ten minutes later, Lu Sheng was already sitting calmly in the coral cave that had previously belonged to the giant octopus.
Outside the cave, a massive mutated octopus lay quietly among the coral, faithfully serving as Lu Sheng’s guard.
“Willpower Manipulation … It’s still quite useful in certain situations, especially against creatures like this with low intelligence.”
Lu Sheng took the eighth-level exotic marrow liquid bottles from his waist, activated his grandmaster qi shield to displace the water, then casually opened a few bottles and poured the liquid into his mouth.
The dual bridge between heaven and earth within him remained open at all times.
After descending to the depths of the sea, the energy provided by the Earth Bridge had greatly increased, more than fivefold.
With the help of these two energies, the blood core in Lu Sheng’s chest quickly grew larger. When it grew to the size of a fist, it quietly shattered.
Divine Illumination Meditation Scripture, blood essence amplification.
This supreme martial art, which Lu Sheng had been cultivating for a long time, now provided a 70% amplification of his blood essence!
He was already close to the first stage of perfecting the amplification of his flesh and blood.
From the depths of the coral reef came the sound of a surging tide, the rushing of Lu Sheng’s blood and energy.
His Stellar Immortal Physique grew rapidly, with mysterious patterns spreading like roots deep into his flesh and bones. Until the subsequent chapters of the Immortal Golden Body were unlocked, this was the only way for Lu Sheng to enhance his physique.
It seemed … effective enough?
At the center of his brows, the embryonic form of the eighteenth immortal cell quietly appeared.
In the dark, tranquil depths of the abyss, the star-ranked soldiers were fiercely battling the deep-sea monsters.
On the other side of their battlefield, a figure was quietly growing stronger.
Like the heartbeat of a hidden giant beast in the deep sea.
Thump—
Thump—
Thump—
The sound grew more powerful with each beat.
The giant beast was waiting.
Waiting for the moment it would break through the sea’s surface and face the thundering heavenly flames …
