Chapter 3070 - Freezing Hell!

Chapter 3070 Freezing Hell!

It seemed to be the only exit.

But it was also a fatal trap that contained endless killing intent.

Li Yao pondered for a moment, but he had no other options. He could only march forward even though he knew that tigers were lurking.

The golden flames exploded at the bottom of the dark, endless ocean. The 'sun catastrophe' crawled into the swirl in a streak of brightness. While waving the four stabilization wings agilely and figuring out the direction and intensity of every turbulence inside the swirl, it sprinted upward with the help of the swirl toward the brighter and brighter surface of the ocean.

Inside the swirl, just like the thunder valley a moment ago, many ferocious beasts and war machines were scattered. However, the surging brutality and the combat ability of the war machines were much higher.

It was obvious that those who were qualified to come to this place after the screening of the Thunder Valley were the elites of both attack and defense.

Even the elites of the primeval era were not enough to stop Li Yao, who had inherited the legacy of the Supreme Emperor and was riding the 'sun catastrophe'. He was jumping and moving in the swirl unstoppably, killing countless ferocious beasts and destroying countless war machines. After swimming at least ten thousand meters, even the apocalyptic body that had been tempered into steel felt that its lungs were aching, and its chest was about to explode.

But the pressure on his body had been greatly reduced. The seawater above his head gradually turned from deep blue to light blue, and the swirl was spinning faster and faster. He was almost thrown out of the swirl.

"It's out!"

Li Yao roared and jumped out of the ocean.

But what he saw dumbfounded him even more.

He had thought that he would find the exit, or at least the traces of the exit, after he jumped out of the ocean.

In the worst-case scenario, seeing a vast, boundless ocean would not be as depressing as when he was in the deep ocean.

But there was nothing but ocean in front of his eyes. There was no concept of horizon or sky at all.

Within the range of his vision, the ocean extended into the distance before it slightly curved upwards like an arc-shaped giant wave that affected the entire ocean. It rose all the way to what should have been the sky before it swept back from another direction and blocked all directions.

To put it more frankly, it was like an enormous water ball the size of a planet. In the middle of the water ball was a giant bubble.

Li Yao had merely crawled into the bubble at the center of the water ball from the inside. If he continued flying upward, he would only fall into the seawater on the other side after he passed through the center. It was meaningless. "Are you kidding me?" Li Yao felt dizzy. Was there no exit at all?

It was impossible. The exit must be hidden somewhere, somewhere that defied common sense and intuition…

Li Yao held his breath and observed the ball-shaped ocean.

He discovered that, other than the giant swirl below his feet, there were more than ten swirls of the same size above his head and on the surface of the ocean on his left and right. Countless ferocious beasts had been swept away by the swirls and flown to the center of the 'big water ball'.

On the contrary, the war machines that belonged to the defenders were relatively rare, which also confirmed Li Yao's judgement-the defenders had already deciphered the secrets of this world fragment and knew the correct exit.

Let's say that this world fragment is really an enormous water ball with a tiny bubble floating in the middle, and I am an insignificant microorganism living inside the water ball. How can I leave the water ball?

Li Yao thought hard for a while. Then his eyes suddenly shone. "Right. If I march toward the center of the water ball along the swirl, there is no way that I can leave the water ball. I can only reach another ocean and another swirl."

"Go down! I should go down!"

"Which ocean is not important, which swirl is not important, and which direction is important. We should go against the swirl and reach the end of the swirl in the deepest part of the ocean!"

Li Yao lowered his head and glanced at Swirl, who looked like a bloody mouth.

It was easy to say, but it was not easy to make up his mind to explore the end of the swirl.

Deep inside the swirl, in the dark ocean tens of thousands of meters deep, there might be an even deeper undersea canyon that could crush the Giant God Soldiers, crystal suits, and even the drivers into mud easily.

Although the road ahead was full of unknown risks, Li Yao still decided to believe in his own judgement.

Before countless ferocious beasts lunged at him while roaring, Li Yao jumped into the swirl and returned the way he came.

Against the direction of the swirl, it was ten times more difficult to face the attacks of countless ferocious beasts.

Despite the sturdiness and toughness of the 'sun catastrophe', it was still seriously wounded by the ferocious beasts and the war machines when it returned to the bottom of the ocean twenty to thirty thousand meters below the surface. Its plate armor was twisted and riddled with wounds, and it was not able to escape the fate of being reimbursed in less than half a month if any crystal suit or soldier fell into Li Yao's hands.

At such a depth, it was impossible to see one's fingers in front of one's face. The visibility and scanning range of telepathic thoughts had been reduced to the minimum. Neither Li Yao, the ferocious beasts, nor the war machines on the defense side could find each other.

In this place, the greatest enemy had become the seawater, the boundless pressure, or rather, his own soul.

The surroundings were as quiet as a deserted graveyard. Li Yao could only hear his own heartbeat and the creaking sounds of the giant soldier gods.

The iron gods and devils that used to be indestructible were now like loose bamboos. It was quite scary.

The deeper he dived, the higher the pressure became. The spiritual shield, defense structure, metal hardness, sealing degree, and other parameters of the 'sun catastrophe' were all on the verge of collapse. They were like candles in the wind that could be extinguished instantly.

At this point, even though Li Yao's mind was as firm as iron, he was still unable to control the bean-sized cold sweat on his forehead.

"Was my judgement correct?

"Is the exit really not on the surface of the ocean but under the sea?

Is there an end to the ocean? Did I miss the exit and fall into an undersea canyon leading to the deepest level of hell?

"Is it possible that the 'sun catastrophe' suffered too much damage in the battle just now? Even though the exit is right below me, the hardness of the metal cannot hold on any longer. Will I be crushed into a meat pie near the exit?"

Such thoughts leaked out of Li Yao's every pore like black, sticky shadows and tied him up. They murmured, screamed, and screamed in his ears.

Thankfully, a second personality that specialized in absorbing negative emotions such as the mental devil split out from Li Yao's soul and swallowed all the distracting thoughts that bothered his soul and corrupted his mind.

"Don't think about such nonsense. The mental devil shrieked, "Do you still want to go back the way you came?"

Li Yao was suddenly woken up from his dream.

Despite the screams of the giant soldier gods, Li Yao gritted his teeth and kept diving.

He felt that he was climbing a cliff in the deepest level of hell. One moment of carelessness, and he would fall into an abyss beyond redemption.

However, no matter how furious the devil fire in the abyss was, it could not stop his determination to march forward.

BOOM!

Dull noises suddenly echoed below the feet of the 'sun catastrophe'. Li Yao felt that his heart was in his throat. He was scared that the Giant God Soldier could not bear the pressure any longer and was about to collapse. But then he sensed that he had reached the bottom of the ocean safely.

Not far away from him, right below the swirl, was a glittering super teleportation array.

This is the place!

Li Yao was overjoyed. He stood on it without any hesitation and was teleported to the third world fragment.

"What the hell is going on here?" Li Yao was already mentally prepared. He knew that the tests in the 'heavenly towers' would be more and more difficult.

However, the more difficult it was, the closer he was to the secrets of the primeval era. Li Yao was very confident about his upcoming challenge.

However, on the surface, the world fragment this time was not as difficult as the 'Thunder Valley' or the 'weighted ocean'. Li Yao appeared in a cave that was full of frost. Except for the extremely low temperature and the transparent ice pitons on his head, there was nothing wrong about him.

However, although it was a cave, there was no entrance except for the teleportation array below his feet.

Of course, he could not return to the 'weight ocean' through the teleportation array. He could only release his telepathic thoughts and explore the smooth walls of the cave.

Soon, Li Yao found a clue.

The cave was surrounded by solid walls on three sides, except for an ice wall that had just been consolidated.

It seemed that this was the exit.

Taking advantage of the lack of interference, Li Yao took out a Cosmos Ring and activated a lot of spare components and ammunition. Then, he performed an emergency repair on the 'sun catastrophe' with his telekinesis ability.

It was better to be safe than sorry. Even if the performance of the Giant God Soldier was improved by 1%, it could still save his life at the critical moment.

After everything was done, he took out the electric axe and melted and cut the ice wall leading to the outside world carefully.

Hiu!

Just as he cut a hole in the ice wall, a cold wind mixed with astral gas blew in. Li Yao had never experienced such a weird wind before. Despite the four layers of protection from the Giant God Soldier, Little Black, the crystal suit, and the mustard suit, Li Yao still felt that the wind was condensing into scalpels on his bones and scraping them!

A thick ice shell immediately appeared on the surface of the 'sun catastrophe'. Even the bright gold flames of war were half frozen.

The temperature inside the cave dropped below zero. The performance of the Giant God Soldier was plummeting, too. This is an extremely cold world. Damn!

Li Yao wanted to spit, but his throat was frozen, too.

Compared to the extremely high temperature, the extremely low temperature was more harmful for magical equipment and Cultivators. No magical equipment could be used normally in a harsh environment close to absolute zero. Naturally, no Cultivators—be they Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators, Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, or Soul Splitting Cultivators —were willing to fight in such an icy hell.
