My Right Hand Allows Me to Merge Thousands of Races-Chapter 166 - 123: Fifty Thousand Meters Under the Sea, The Millennia-Old City

Chapter 166: Chapter 123: Fifty Thousand Meters Under the Sea, The Millennia-Old City

The underwater ruins are not far from Nocturnal City, just in the nearby sea area of the city.

As soon as the submarine set off, Lu Xun was incredibly excited, unable to contain himself.

Because there were too many Dutch on this submarine!

He placed his right hand on the porthole and spent a good thirty minutes analyzing the entire submarine and recording its corresponding illustration.

He obtained 80,000 Trait Points.

Analyzed the Jiao Long Mecha, Trait Points +18,000.

And the other high-tech underwater operation equipment and the combat personnel’s weaponry were all touched by his restless little hands.

Among them was a high-tech device called the "Repulsive Force Sea-Splitting Device," which didn’t look impressive, just a small piece of equipment, yet it provided 50,000 Trait Points, incredibly outrageous.

After analyzing everything, he actually gained 180,000 Trait Points.

And they hadn’t even arrived at the ruins yet; he had already earned a fortune.

Of course, the most crucial target hadn’t been analyzed yet.

That would be the sheep-headed Kulus.

Analyzing this King-level big shot is estimated to start at 10 Dutch.

Just as Lu Xun was about to get close and say hello, his arm was grabbed by a pretty little hand.

"Xiao Lu, you’re so restless, don’t run around~" Ding Xuezhu rubbed her forehead, her tone filled with helplessness, "Sit down nicely, we’ll arrive at the ruins soon."

This kid, as soon as he got on the submarine, turned into a curious little baby, wanting to touch everything.

Not only did he greet everyone with a handshake, "enthusiastically" terrifying, but even had the audacity to borrow combat personnel’s guns to play with.

As the Demon Text Lord with a daily salary of fifty million, his status in the team was too high. The combat members were afraid the weapons would misfire, but they couldn’t simply refuse him, so they had to unload the ammo system, shut off the combat module, and let him touch.

"...Alright."

Lu Xun was dragged by the old lady to sit beside her, not allowed to make trouble; he had no choice but to comply and settle down temporarily.

After all, Ding Xuezhu was the team leader, and it was "working time," so he had to listen to the leadership.

He had to give some face to the fifty million daily salary.

When they reached the ruins later, he’d find a chance to analyze Kulus, since it wasn’t going anywhere anyway.

Lu Xun calculated carefully last night.

The Trait Points required to break through the Life Level and advance to a King-level Life Form was beyond his expectations.

Yesterday, from Lord Tier Eight, he had surged to Lord Peak, using Projection, Integration, and Add Points, all three at once, spending just under 500,000 Trait Points.

But breaking from Lord Peak to King level, it requires at least 1.3 million!

It would take a hammer blow of 1.3 million to break through that barrier and enter a whole new Life Level.

Lu Xun placed all his hopes on the underwater ruins.

Even if he couldn’t reach King level today, he could do it tomorrow.

After all, they would be exploring for seven or eight days, so he wasn’t in a rush.

Like Lords, Kings have small tiers from 1 to 9, but the difference is that once you reach King level, every breakthrough of 3 small tiers involves a qualitative enhancement.

This enhancement doesn’t compare to Great Realm breakthroughs, but it is much stronger than small realm ones, barely considered "Medium Realm."

King Realm.

1~3 Tiers, Mortal King;

4~6 Tiers, True King;

7~9 Tiers, Celestial King;

Above the Celestial King... that is another Great Realm—the Extraordinary, also known as Saint King Level.

Heart Over Matter, From Extraordinary to Saint.

Even on the global stage, Saint King level creatures are unchallenged big shots.

Most conventional weapons of the Human Federation struggle to kill a Saint King level.

Without the Emperor, the Saint King is invincible.

Lu Xun didn’t dare to dream of being a Saint King, it was too far away.

But his goal for this expedition was to reach True King and then return to Jinghai City.

That is, King-level Tier Four and above.

Such a massive underwater ruin can’t be without at least hundreds of Dutch, can it?

*********

Bang!

The submarine roared and abruptly stopped, hovering deep in the sea.

This place was already 10,000 meters underwater.

Comparable to the deepest part of the Mariana Trench in Lu Xun’s previous life.

Outside the window, pitch black, in the vast darkness, endless seawater surging in silence.

Nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard.

The atmosphere was oppressive, making it feel like they had fallen into the abyss.

If someone had deep-sea phobia, they might already be trembling.

Lu Xun felt a warm little hand cover the back of his hand.

"It’s okay, Xiao Lu, don’t be afraid." Ding Xuezhu’s tone was gentle and comforting, "I know it’s your first time at such a deep-sea place, fear is normal, don’t worry, we have top-level safety measures, we’ll return safe and sound."

Lu Xun: "..."

He was at a loss for words.

Me, afraid? Are you joking?

Do you understand the worth of an Ultimate Life Form?

Even if Lu Xun deliberately sought to die, after voiding and running outside the submarine, then restoring his flesh, he could still endure it all.

10,000 meters underwater, over a thousand atmospheres.

This level of pressure is equivalent to a super hydraulic press, capable of easily crushing steel and flattening it into a thin iron sheet.

But mere steel, how could it compare to my well-trained muscles?

Lu Xun wasn’t afraid.

Even if this submarine exploded, he wouldn’t die.

He suspected Ding Xuezhu was the one afraid, pretending to comfort him, but actually comforting herself.

Otherwise, the old lady was just using this as an excuse to hold his hand and take advantage.

Lu Xun put on his sunglasses, activated his Golden Pupil, and glanced at her.

Indeed, she was emanating a color of fear, not deep, but enough to show that Ding Xuezhu had a slight deep-sea phobia.

"I’m not afraid, and you shouldn’t be either, Sister Ding, it’s okay."

Lu Xun turned and patted her small hand, comforting her:

"A thousand atmospheres, if something goes wrong, a person would explode instantly; before they even realize it, they’d be reduced to dust, it wouldn’t hurt at all, don’t worry."

"..."

Her beautiful eyes widened, she could hardly restrain herself from pouncing on him and biting that cheeky kid to death.

Damn it, if you can’t comfort someone, just don’t!

********

Click!

The submarine turned on its massive spotlight.

The dazzling light shone down, finally adding some brightness to the surroundings, dispelling the darkness and some of the unease in the hearts of the team members.

A depth of ten thousand meters was just a forepost, not the endpoint.

Under the light, an incredibly deep trench came into view, stretching thousands of kilometers long and over eighty kilometers wide, bottomless as if a scar on the planet.

The ruins lay in the depths of the trench.

The submarine maneuvered with its spotlight, auto-navigating, driving forward until it reached the seabed at fifty thousand meters and finally stopped.

"Report to the leader, we have reached the ruins above." a voice reported through the earpiece.

"Launch flares," Ding Xuezhu commanded.

Whoosh—Boom!

A dozen large flares were launched from the submarine, exploding in the distance, the bright light immediately illuminating an area of several hundred square kilometers below.

An ancient city sleeping under the deep sea came into view.

Endless buildings, tattered, with ruins and broken walls everywhere, this was once a magnificent ancient city ravaged by war.

Over time, it fell into the abyss and has quietly slumbered here for more than twenty thousand years.

The ancient city was severely damaged, shattered and fragmented, allowing only a faint glimpse of its former glory from its outline.

"Holy crap!"

"So... so big!"

"This is the first time I’ve seen such a massive ancient site."

"So spectacular, my God, is this an Ancient Demon Race city?"

...

All the exploration team members were stunned.

Fifty thousand meters deep, a lonely ancient city slumbered for twenty thousand years.

What a magnificent scene! It stirred the heart.

Seeing such a wonder, this trip was already worthwhile.

Even the Naga Race living in the deep sea couldn’t exploit the resources of this ancient city...

For a few to explore archaeologically, it wasn’t difficult; just rent a submarine, and one could come here.

The Naga Race did visit this ancient city many times, but could only gaze at it with sighs.

But establishing a large construction team five thousand meters deep is too difficult.

It’s only the Human Federation, as a representative of the Technology Side, that has the capacity to conduct large-scale underwater engineering at fifty thousand meters depth.

"Prepare to activate the Sea-Splitting Device."

Ding Xuezhu suddenly stood up, her voice firm: "Everyone, put on your pressure-resistant suits, prepare to disembark."

With the leader’s command, all members of the exploration team sprang into action.

Lu Xun also changed into a heavy pressure-resistant suit, similar to an exoskeleton power armor with a power amplification support system, making movement easy without being cumbersome.

Click——

Two mechanical arms extended from the bottom of the submarine, gripping a large boulder, holding it firmly in place.

The team of hundreds, riding a dozen small submarines, entered the ancient city.

Gathering in the central area.

The high-tech device called the "Repulsive Force Sea-Splitting Device" was placed on the ground.

"The movement is a bit much, all of you, gather a little closer and stay safe." Ding Xuezhu’s voice resounded through the audio channel in everyone’s ears.

Hundreds of people crowded together, forming a small circle.

"Activate."

Boom!!

Suddenly, an unbelievable scene unfolded.

A tremendously strong repulsive force erupted from the Sea-Splitting Device.

The sea water around the device was forcibly pushed away.

The repulsive force was so strong, more terrifying than the pressure of the sea, capable of separating lakes and seas, swiftly pushing the sea water far, far away.

Creating a vacuum environment covering the entire ancient city without seawater.

The repulsive force was magical, seemingly a blend of magic and technology, affecting only the seawater, leaving the ancient city’s buildings and hundreds of exploration team members unaffected.

"After the ’sea splitting,’ the ancient city was fully exposed, wet all over as if it had just been drenched by rain."

Everyone looked up at the boundless ’sea surface’ above, feeling a chill down their spines.

Even Lu Xun felt a bit nervous, anxious and jittery.

"I say, Sister Ding, this Sea-Splitting Device won’t malfunction, right?" he murmured quietly to Ding Xuezhu. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

If the Sea-Splitting Device suddenly failed.

The billions of tons of seawater above came crashing down, never mind King-level creatures, even if a Saint King came, they wouldn’t be able to withstand it!

Everyone would be doomed here.

"..." She rolled her eyes, raising her small hand in resentment, knocking on Lu Xun’s back, "Damn you, don’t jinx it, don’t talk nonsense."

"Ahem, alright, I won’t say anything more."

Lu Xun coughed once, regaining his composure, his eyes scanning the ancient buildings before him.

He bent down, picking up a piece of the house’s debris with his right hand.

After analysis, he learned the age of this ancient city.

"Twenty-seven thousand five hundred years old, the architectural style is evident, indeed an Ancient Demon Race city. Judging by its scale, it was a city of considerable importance in the Ancient Demon Race."

"The nearby areas are ordinary residential zones, I suggest starting the exploration from the southeast direction, that’s where the important areas are, let’s first establish a base."

Lu Xun got into work mode, providing expert-level insights.

With a daily salary of fifty million, he’s handsomely paid, but work cannot be neglected.
