Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 179, Ruins

"Be careful, we have entered the territory of the Purple Water Electric Eel!"

Zi Yan gravely reminded.

Chu Ming’s eyes scanned below, a huge shadow gradually appearing in front of everyone, with an aura as sharp as a sword. Bubbles floated around, making a gurgling sound.

Splash!

The enormous shadow roamed everywhere, startling the small creatures at the bottom of the pond into fleeing quickly and avoiding it from afar.

Whizz! Whizz!

A ten-meter-wide electric net spanned across the water, crackling toward Chu Ming and the other three, evaporating part of the water in the pond. The small creatures that didn’t escape in time were all electrocuted to ashes.

A gigantic sea monster appeared before Chu Ming and the other three. The sea monster’s body was a hundred feet long, its tentacles densely packed, almost occupying the entire pond. Occasionally, it would thrash, causing endless waves in the pond. Its entire body was purple, and its most striking feature was its pair of enormous, lantern-like red eyes.

Sixth-level middle-tier magical beast, Purple Water Electric Eel.

Facing the attack of a sixth-level middle-tier magical beast, Chu Ming and the others dared not be careless and each unleashed their strongest strike.

"Blood Killing Fist!"

Chu Ming used all his strength, his right hand clenched tightly, drawn like a bow, the fifty-one strands of Fire Essence within his body enhancing it without reservation. Instantly, a vortex of yellow and red appeared on his right fist, a terrifying gravitational force stirring up water waves around him.

Boom!

Countless fist forces collided with the purple electric net, which constantly had purple lightning circulating, wearing down Chu Ming’s fist force.

At that moment, Zi Yan also made his move. The purple scimitar from his back had somehow already appeared in his hand. With the scimitar in his right hand, Zi Yan’s aura underwent a dramatic transformation, with an unstoppable, fearless momentum causing his long hair to flutter. A faint electric arc could be seen flickering on his scimitar.

"Purple Rainbow Thousand Slash!"

A purple crescent moon burst out from his blade, shattering the surrounding bubbles. The flow of water in the pond was abruptly severed, forming a chasm, and it wasn’t until the purple slash disappeared that the water refilled the gap.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh...

The Purple Water Electric Eel’s tentacles were so numerous that even Zi Yan’s attack managed to sever a hundred of them. Blood gushed from the stumps, gradually turning the pond’s water a different color.

Fox Yan Gongzi’s palm techniques, a set of Profound Level top-tier palm techniques, were wielded by him with great power; the tentacles it touched all dodged and didn’t dare to approach.

As for Qiu Wuhui, he was undoubtedly the most relaxed among them. Hundreds of white Flowing Blades were swirling around his body at the moment, leaving scars all over the Purple Water Electric Eel and continuously drawing blood.

"Don’t get caught up in the fight, break through the electric net and we’ll escape together!"

Zi Yan, with electric arcs flickering in his eyes, held the scimitar with both hands. A purple edge shot out from the blade, shattering the blocking tentacles. The mix of blood and white floated at the bottom of the pond.

Whoosh!

Struck by Zi Yan’s purple blade arc, the purple electric net tore open in an instant. Chu Ming and the others had long been waiting for this moment and immediately fled through the rift in the purple electric net, continuing to descend further.

Boom!

However, the Purple Water Electric Eel evidently wasn’t planning to let Chu Ming and the others off so easily. With a slight movement of its massive body, it whipped up huge waves in the pond. Countless water swords hovered above its head, their brimming light dazzling to the eyes.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

In an instant, all the water swords were fired. Any one of them could severely injure a True Dao sixth-layer martial artist, and the combined power of such a large number could only be described as breathtaking.

Using his peripheral vision, Chu Ming saw the water swords shooting towards him, and as he descended, he continuously punched out heavy fist shadows. The sounds of water swords and fist shadows shattering echoed constantly, creating countless bubbles in the water.

Nevertheless, leveraging the recoil, Chu Ming and the others descended even faster. As they continued their descent, the Purple Water Electric Eel seemed to be struggling, slowing its attacks on Chu Ming and the others.

After the time it takes for three sticks of incense to burn, Chu Ming and the others reached an iron gate. The iron gate was rusty and dilapidated, and on it, there was a plaque that had been shattered into pieces, making the inscription illegible.

"This is it!"

Zi Yan said gravely, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. His body flickered as he rushed towards the other side of the iron gate, with Chu Ming and the other two following closely behind. The water flowed past them, leaving no trace.

Behind the iron gate was a deep tunnel, with a large Luminous Pearl every few steps along the top, emitting a faint light that clearly illuminated the area within five meters.

"According to the conjectures of Fox Yan Gongzi and me, the sect that once existed here should be the Transformations Sect that suddenly disappeared a thousand years ago!"

Zi Yan said softly, looking at Chu Ming and Leng Wuhui.

Upon hearing this, Chu Ming’s expression changed slightly. He had read about the Transformations Sect in ancient books in Cyan Yang Hall. Compared to other sects, the Transformations Sect was quite special, as everyone within the sect, from the sect leader to the service disciples, were body refining experts, capable of fighting against hundreds.

It was said that the body refining techniques of the Transformations Sect were too heaven-defying, incurring the wrath of the gods, leading to a Divine Dragon descending to annihilate the Transformations Sect. The ancestor of the Transformations Sect battled the Divine Dragon in the sky for three days and three nights, but was ultimately slain. People later discovered a few Dragon Scales at the scene, but the Transformations Sect had vanished like a wisp of smoke.

If this was indeed the ruins of the Transformations Sect, then there must be great secrets hidden inside.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

As they were lost in thought, several black shadows flashed by, surrounding Chu Ming and the others. They turned to see that they were ordinary zombies.

These zombies had scarlet eyes and long fangs protruding from their mouths. Their skin had a dark bluish tint, with visible blood vessels underneath. Their claws glowed with a purple hue, which was corpse poison. If a martial artist was scratched, they wouldn’t turn into a zombie, but would lose their sanity and become a bloodthirsty maniac.

Whoosh!

A chilling sword light flashed, and with a single strike, the zombies in front of them were all slain by Chu Ming. They were only ordinary zombies and posed no real threat to them.

The four continued forward, their steps echoing crisply on the ground. In the quiet tunnel, the sound was exceptionally startling. Zombies occasionally ran in from nearby the tunnel, but they were all ordinary zombies and were swiftly slain by Chu Ming and the others.

After advancing three to four hundred meters, Chu Ming and the others reached the middle of the tunnel. A chilling sensation shot up from their feet to their heads. A shadow larger than the ordinary zombies appeared before them.
