Chapter 2766 The Devil

The light emitted by the Scorching Gold was extremely intense, but it couldn't spread far in the black water.

However, the force of primitive fear in the undercurrents had been dispelled by the golden light from the Scorching Gold, so Zen didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Plop, plop, plop...

As they continued to swim downward in the black water, the turbulent undercurrents became stronger and stronger.

Some of these undercurrents surged toward Zen, intending to sweep him away from Sword Chen's side.

"Hurry up. These creatures are watching us greedily. If the undercurrents manage to sweep you away, you will lose your life," Sword Chen warned.

Zen nodded and followed closely after the Demi-holy Being.

From afar, it looked as if the two were moving forward in a dark forest under the light of the triangular bullion. If that light was extinguished, they would immediately be devoured by the menacing beasts.

Sword Chen's bubble was floating undisturbed in the middle of the Sea of Meditation.

The depth of the Sea of Meditation was far beyond Zen's expectation.

Although they weren't swimming slowly by any means, it took Zen an hour to finally feel the seabed under his feet.

Just as he did every time he ventured a new place, he released his spiritual sense and found a huge trench in front of him. He didn't know how far it extended.

"Here we are. You can stick the first sword there,"

Sword Chen said, pointing to one side of the trench.

Zen let his spiritual sense wander over to the place that Sword Chen was pointing at and soon found that a sharp sword was stabbed into the surface of the trench.

"Okay,"

he said before obediently taking out a long sword.

Following Sword Chen's example, he activated the mark at the bottom of the sword and then launched the sword fiercely toward the surface of the trench.

Rumble...

The black water was very viscous, and the water pressure at the bottom of the sea was extremely high.

Fortunately, with his strength, Zen was able to launch the sword with enough force. The long

urrent began to weaken and the two wrestled free from it.

"That current is so powerful. What is it?" Zen asked curiously.

He felt like almost all of his strength had been drained by that current. The viscosity of the black water made it difficult to release any sort of power, so Zen had only managed to exert a tiny portion of his power.

Even though he had tried his best to fight against the spiral current, he hadn't been able to escape from it.

"That current is also an unknown thing," Sword Chen said, looking off into the darkness with a solemn expression on his face. "But it is a very powerful one. The fiends call it the Devil. We are in trouble..."

"The Devil?"

Zen pondered over the name for a moment and then said, "Since it is also an unknown thing, it should also be afraid of the Scorching Gold, right?"

"Of course," said Sword Chen. "But it's so powerful that once it targets its prey, it will be difficult for the latter to escape from it even with the protection of the Scorching Gold!"

After finishing his sentence, he suddenly pulled Zen by his shoulder.

"Phew!"

Thanks to him, Zen had just barely dodged an extremely thin spiral current.

Otherwise, the current, which was not much thicker than the tip of a needle, might have pierced through Zen's head.

"See why I said it's powerful?" A bitter smile appeared on Sword Chen's face.
