"Damn it!" Ye Ling made a grasping motion with his big hands, and destroyed all the lightning bolts. But just like that, you've already sent the Taoist flying far away.

Clearly, he had already calculated this beforehand. He was willing to give up the Divine Lightning Ark in order to escape with his life.

Even though he was furious, Ye Ling felt a surge of admiration for the other party.

He was able to see the situation clearly at this critical moment, and actually abandoned this precious lightning divine boat. One had to know that this lightning divine boat was comparable to a Dao Vein stage fighter.

Just like a gecko losing its tail.

The moment Ye Ling grabbed it with his big hand, he actually felt the restlessness of the divine vessel.

He knew that anything that reached this level would gain a bit of his own intelligence, and this divine boat was the same. Right now, if he wanted to control the divine boat, he would need to refine it a bit.

However, he couldn't care so much now. Although the Taoist had escaped, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape. Ye Ling could only subdue the Divine Ark first before using his skills to chase after the Taoist.

This person was the greatest threat to the Empire of Xuanhuang. If it wasn't removed, it would be difficult to quell the hatred in Ye Ling's heart.

Therefore, after Ye Ling had suppressed the divine vessel and followed the Daoist's aura, he immediately went up in pursuit.

The space here was a Space Gate that had been set up by a warrior of the Spirit realm. No one knew where it led to. All in all, the inner space was no longer part of Tianjing City, but was connected to it.

Ye Ling could only see the endless sea. After flying for a quarter of an hour, the sea disappeared and countless mountains and rivers appeared before him.

Finally, the Daoist disappeared by a large lake.

The water in the lake was rough, and the water was silver in color.

Initially, Ye Ling did not care about it, but after carefully pondering over it at this moment, he realized that something was wrong. It seemed that there was not the slightest hint of life in the lake!

That's right, Ye Ling's spiritual will was extremely powerful right now. He could shoot out anything from the lake with a single shot. Logically speaking, the sounds coming from such a huge lake should be very complicated.

However, no matter how hard Ye Ling tried to listen, he could only hear the silence.

With a thought, Ye Ling separated a strand of his spiritual will to investigate.

In the next moment, his face went grim.

He probed the surface of the lake with his spiritual will, but there was not the slightest trace of life. It was as if the entire lake had been devoid of life.

What shocked Ye Ling even more was that even though his spiritual will had gone down two thousand meters, it still hadn't touched the bottom of the lake!

The lake was so deep that one could not see the bottom! I really don't know what's down there!

It was already the limit for an ordinary lake to be tens of meters deep, but he had yet to reach two thousand meters deep into the lake.

It was obvious that there was something strange about this lake.

Plop …

In Ye Ling's mind, a strong subconscious was commanding him to dive down and have a look.

Thus, he jumped into the lake.

"Hiss …" Just as he entered the lake, Ye Ling sucked in a breath of cold air. A bone-chilling cold air seeped into his body and shrouded his entire body.

Cold! It was incomparably cold!

Now he finally understood why there were no living beings in the lake. In such a cold environment, it was impossible for ordinary living beings to survive.

After traversing two thousand meters, the surrounding water gradually sank into darkness. The lake was too deep, and the sunlight was unable to penetrate through, causing this place to be shrouded in darkness.

He couldn't even see his own fingers in front of him. That was an eternal deathly silence.

Arriving at this place, his eyes were useless, he could only use his spiritual will to investigate everything. Fortunately, Ye Ling's spiritual will had been tempered by heavenly thunder and was extremely tyrannical. Even if he did not have eyes, it would not affect him.

The water pressure here had also become extremely high. Ye Ling estimated that even a piece of fine steel would have to be flattened by this pressure.

If it wasn't for his cultivation of Thoughtless Tranquility and the Vermillion Bird battle form, he wouldn't have been able to survive in this place.

Dive! Continue diving!

Two thousand meters! 3000 meters! Four kilometers! Six thousand meters! 8000 meters!

When Ye Ling reached 8000 meters, he felt it difficult to breathe. At this point, even if he was in the state of Thoughtless Tranquility, he could not swim freely here.

There were many strange things at the bottom of this lake.

At this moment, Ye Ling also knew that the strange Taoist could not possibly be at the bottom of the lake, because the water pressure at the bottom of the lake is so great, even a Dao Artifact would be crushed under the pressure. He is only at the ordinary Spirit realm, not himself.

Ye Ling predicted that it was already not bad for an average warrior at the peak of the Spirit realm to sink down to five or six kilometers.

Therefore, it was impossible for that Taoist to be down there. However, it was obvious that he had intentionally lured Ye Ling over. It was just that he still needed Ye Ling to personally investigate exactly what was down there.

At 9000 meters, Ye Ling's every muscle was under a huge pressure. At this moment, even if he was pressed down by a huge mountain, it would still not be as heavy as it was at this moment.

At the beginning, Ye Ling was still trying to use this intense water pressure to train his body, but now, he knew that he could not continue this training any longer. If this continued, his body would be crushed to pieces.

"Origin Opening Armor!"

With a thought from Ye Ling, a bright light enveloped his body. It was an armor that tightly wrapped around Ye Ling's body.

The Natal Opening Armor was a ray of clear light that linked all of this, leaving only a hole and two eyeball.

The instant Ye Ling fell into the Natal Opening Armor, he heaved a long sigh of relief.

It was only within the Natal Opening Armor that he felt truly relaxed. The endless water pressure was simply unable to suppress the Natal Opening Armor, and the treasures in the upper realms were truly formidable.

All in all, the Natal Opening Armor was Ye Ling's ultimate cheat.

Relying on his Natal Opening Armor, Ye Ling continued to dive deeper. This time, he was able to dive more than ten thousand meters, and it was still pitch black.

In the end, when Ye Ling dived to a depth of 12,000 meters, he finally touched the bottom of the lake.

What shocked Ye Ling was that the bottom of the lake was not just a layer of mud, but an existence that seemed like iron but was not iron. It was extremely hard and was obviously not made naturally, but man-made.

At this moment, Ye Ling's curiosity was piqued. What secrets was at the bottom of this lake?

The water pressure of 12,000 meters was even heavier. Ye Ling reckoned that if it wasn't for his Natal Opening Armor, even a 3rd level Dao Pattern Stage expert might not be able to reach the bottom at this moment.

The first thing that entered his eyes was a huge piece of iron.

It was a ring-shaped iron piece, about the size of a small house, and it was encircled by another ring-shaped iron piece.

Ye Ling used his spiritual sense to sense that this place seemed to be made of these iron rings, pure black in color, and incomparably cold and huge. There were thousands of them, all linked together.

They were like giant iron rings, except they were too big. Each of them was three to four meters long, thick and cold.

In fact, even Ye Ling was unable to figure out the material of this weapon.

"Spears of the Underworld!" With a thought, a pitch black lance suddenly appeared. It was the Spear of the Dark God. At this moment, Ye Ling used the Spear of the Dark God and channeled his strength to pierce against the huge black ring iron weapon!

Bang! In an instant, a crisp sound rang out. The spear in Ye Ling's hand transformed into a streak of black light and exploded, while the huge ring-shaped iron weapon beneath him was completely unharmed.

Not to mention breaking, not even a single trace of it could be seen.

Looking at the spear in his hand, Ye Ling was speechless for a long time. Although his spear was intangible and was only one of his year's worth of flowers, it still represented one of Ye Ling's highest achievements in the Dao.

At the moment, even if a Dao item appeared in front of him, he could stab holes in it with each strike.

But in the face of this ring-shaped iron, everything was useless.

What the hell was this? It was actually this hard? It was truly unbelievable.

Ye Ling had seen countless different kinds of materials, but this was the first time he saw one made of this kind of material. It was simply unheard-of and unheard-of.

After which, Ye Ling once again walked on top of the ring-shaped iron grade equipment. He spread out his Spiritual Sense and found that the surrounding thousand miles were all filled with this ring-shaped iron grade equipment.

The entire lake surface was only a few dozen miles in radius, yet the bottom of the lake was so vast and boundless. This caused Ye Ling to be shocked in his heart.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there must be some hidden secret at the bottom of the lake.

At this moment, he stepped on a soft object. This was not a ring-shaped iron item, but rather a ring-shaped iron item that was densely packed on top of it.

Ye Ling was shocked. He activated his spiritual will to investigate, and found that there was a ball of warmth on the soft object beneath his feet!

If one listened carefully, one could even hear the sound of blood flowing!

Below it was a creature! What made Ye Ling terrified was that this creature was incomparably huge. At least a hundred miles in radius, it was soft like this.

At this moment, a shocking thought flashed across Ye Ling's mind.

These black ring-shaped iron tools, they wouldn't … It couldn't be an iron chain!

Seemingly trying to verify his thoughts, Ye Ling flew up with a loud rumble, covering a distance of a thousand meters. Then, he spread out his spiritual will to check the surroundings one by one.

The shape at the bottom of the lake seemed to have become clear in his mind. Those huge black iron rings were really chains! And the giant creature that Ye Ling stepped on earlier was an unknown creature! It was over a hundred miles long. It lay flat at the bottom of the lake, with only its back exposed.

What kind of shocking scene was this?

An enormous beast was lying flat on the bottom of the lake, almost a hundred miles long. It was bound by countless gigantic black chains, and each chain was the size of a house!

Actually, Ye Ling had already thought about it when he first saw these chains. Unfortunately, the size of these chains had exceeded the cognitive level of an ordinary person. Therefore, he had finally confirmed it in the end!
