Chapter 647: The Center of the Lower Realm, Terrifying Vortex
Until Lin Moyu left, it was only then that Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng raised their heads from the pile of Kunlun Sets.
Bai Yiyuan asked curiously, "Xiaoyu just came back, why did he leave again?"
Meng Anwen casually said, "He said he had a deal to complete, I don’t know who it was with."
Yan Kuangsheng said, "This kid, can’t he rest for a bit?"
Bai Yiyuan said impatiently, "You didn’t rest much when you were young either. Put down that bracelet, I saw it first."
Yan Kuangsheng shouted, "Screw off, I clearly saw it first. When did it become your turn?"
Bai Yiyuan was unwilling to concede, "I’m only missing three pieces for my set."
Yan Kuangsheng immediately retaliated, not giving him any face, "I’m only missing two pieces. You were too slow, blame yourself. Say another word and I’ll cut you down with my blade!"
"I’ll punch you into the ground!"
The two of them bickered back and forth, neither willing to yield.
Meng Anwen let out a light laugh. These two had long been accustomed to fighting and making a ruckus like little kids. They were already old, but every day without an argument just didn’t feel right.
After seeing Lin Moyu off, he sent the Blood God Disk into the Divine Summer Pagoda to carefully study and analyze it.
He lazily lay on the chair, like a couch potato.
His mind had already entered the Divine Summer Pagoda, beginning to analyze every detail of the Blood God Disk.
Having just gained the ability to wield the laws, his understanding of them was still only half-baked.
With such a good opportunity presented, how could Meng Anwen let it slip by?
The laws require self-comprehension, and the laws comprehended by each person are different.
At this level, it was no longer like when they were in school or learning simple skills where a teacher could guide them. How far one could go depended solely on oneself.
Meng Anwen had preliminarily studied the laws these past few days but was still unable to grasp the essence.
Only during his level up was he able to integrate a strand of the laws into his skills.
It did greatly increase the power of his skills, far surpassing before.
But to actively wield the laws and integrate them into his skills, he could not do it.
Now, with the Blood God Disk provided by Lin Moyu, containing the laws from the God of Blood, even though their paths differed, it could still serve as a reference.
Meng Anwen was completely immersed in his research, as for Bai Yiyuan and Yan Kuangsheng, those two old fellows could do as they pleased.
Even if they tore down the White God’s courtyard, it was none of his concern.
What could be more important than researching the laws?
The Divine Summer Pagoda possessed formidable teleportation abilities, even able to lock onto coordinates within the Ancient Battlefield.
Meng Anwen clearly had the coordinates of the Divine Capital, instantly teleporting Lin Moyu to the vicinity.
This was Lin Moyu’s third time coming to the Divine Capital. From high up in the air, the Divine Capital appeared square-shaped.
Its sides were only about five thousand meters long, merely a small city.
In the Shenxia Empire, even some larger villages were much bigger than the Divine Capital.
However, Lin Moyu knew its true form - it was not an ancient city at all.
This was a fortress of war.
Moreover, its true body was far larger than what was currently visible.
When it first descended, it had greatly reduced its size, completely curled up.
If it were to fully unfurl one day, restoring itself to its peak state, it would undoubtedly be a terrifying weapon of mass destruction.
This time, Lin Moyu did not enter the city. After observing for a while, he flew to the edge of a cliff.
The Azure Dragon Sea’s waves crashed against the rocks, thundering like the rumbling of drums.
The Azure Dragon Sea was not as electrifying as the Wind and Thunder Sea, nor as dazzlingly beautiful as the Starlight Sea.
On the surface, the currents and waves were turbulent, but those who had ventured below said the depths were actually quite calm.
Compared to the raging surface, it was like two different worlds.
Moreover, those who had gone down reported no dangers in the Azure Dragon Sea, saying it should be safer than the Starlight Sea and Wind and Thunder Sea. Lin Moyu did not believe there were any truly safe places in the Ancient Battlefield.
"The Kunlun Great Deity said that when the God of Holy Sound fell, she crashed through the Wild Continent, and her divine form also fell into the Azure Dragon Sea beneath the Wild Continent."
"But so many years have passed, and with the changing tides, her divine form must have drifted with the currents, who knows where it has ended up."
"For others it’s like finding a needle in a haystack, but for me it’s like finding a divine form in the sea..."
Lin Moyu let out a dark laugh. This task would not be easy.
If it were easy, he would not have been sought out. There must still be dangers lurking beneath the Azure Dragon Sea.
If there were no dangers, any random level 80 or so professional would suffice.
With enough people, it wouldn’t be an issue for the human race.
Lin Moyu set off with caution, flying towards the distance.
He did not head directly for the Wild Continent, but rather towards the convergence of the currents, the center of the lower realm.
At the center of the four great continents of east, south, west, and north, there was an immense vortex.
The ocean waters constantly swirled towards this vortex, never stopping.
If it drifted, then the direction would inevitably be towards the central vortex.
"I just hope it didn’t enter the vortex, otherwise it would truly be impossible to find."
"But I only promised the Kunlun Great Deity that I would try my best."
Lin Moyu unleashed his full speed, advancing at 1000 meters per second.
The waves of the Azure Dragon Sea crashed against him, one after another.
From afar, it looked like streaks of azure dragons leaping out of the sea surface, constantly thrashing about.
This was the origin of the Azure Dragon Sea’s name.
Lin Moyu flew onwards, not encountering any danger.
He did not see any living creatures, nor could his soul perception sense any.
The areas he passed through seemed devoid of any life.
Just this alone was extremely strange.
Whether it was the Starlight Sea or the Wind and Thunder Sea, there were native monsters inside.
But in the Azure Dragon Sea he had flown through so far, there were none.
Jia Lan had once smashed through the icy layer of the Wild Continent and entered the Azure Dragon Sea from there, only to be injured by poisonous creatures.
This proved that there were indeed monsters beneath the Azure Dragon Sea.
So Lin Moyu could only guess that perhaps the monsters avoided the vortex.
He was now less than ten thousand meters from the vortex and could already see the massive whirlpool from afar.
The vortex was like a black hole, constantly sucking in the seawater surging in from all directions, its destination unknown.
The moment he saw the vortex, a thought suddenly emerged in his mind, "Could the vortex be dangerous?"
As soon as this thought arose, his soul issued a warning, followed by a series of shivers.
Danger!
Lin Moyu immediately stopped and rapidly retreated.
Just as he was retreating, an invisible giant hand swept past where he had been, its speed like lightning. If Lin Moyu had been 0.1 seconds slower, he would have been struck by the giant hand.
The giant hand could not be seen with the naked eye. Lin Moyu was only able to detect it because he had his soul force extended outwards.
Lin Moyu kept retreating, only stopping after several thousand meters.
His expression was not good, as his soul had just violently trembled.
Although he was not struck by the giant hand, his soul had still been impacted.
Extending one’s soul force was like a double-edged sword - it could detect danger, but it also provided an avenue for attack.
Previously, when the Nine-Colored Dragon Soul Crystal was attacked, it had let out a dragon’s cry, forming a protective barrier around his soul.
Otherwise, the damage to his soul would have been much heavier.
Now it let out another dragon’s cry, spraying soul force to heal his soul.
His soul had only suffered a minor impact, nothing serious.
But Lin Moyu still felt a chill. The sudden attack came without the slightest warning.
The attack targeted his soul, silent and unseen.
If he had been slower to dodge, that palm strike would have severely wounded his soul.
In that fleeting moment when the giant hand swept past, Lin Moyu sensed an immense and chaotic soul aura from it.
It seemed to be composed of countless souls.
The power of these souls had merged into one, able to exert tremendous force.
Yet the wills of these souls were in disarray, a complete mess after combining.
But despite the chaos, it was extremely powerful, something Lin Moyu could not withstand with his current strength.
"No wonder, no wonder there are so few records about this vortex."
"The records only warn that it is extremely dangerous and to never approach."
"Those who approached must have died, leaving no survivors, so of course there would be no information on what happened."
After waiting for a while with no further attacks, Lin Moyu noted the location where the giant hand had attacked him and cautiously approached.
His soul force remained extended outwards.
When he was ten thousand meters from the vortex, that sense of danger arose again.
Lin Moyu immediately retreated while retracting his extended soul force.
He sensed another immense soul force sweeping past in front of him, the howling wind entering his soul.
"Ten thousand meters, this is the limit."
"If that giant hand has a sense of territory, then ten thousand meters from the vortex is the boundary of its territory."
Lin Moyu understood and began flying around the vortex, maintaining a distance of eleven thousand meters.
