Chapter 146 Deep-Sea Meat Grinder, the Bloody Scent of the Ruins of Return
Eight hundred meters deep.
The water pressure was enough to crush a solid steel pillar into a twisted shape.
A spherical domain of absolute vacuum formed within half a foot around Lu Yuan. The violent undercurrents, upon touching this invisible barrier, were instantly vaporized into tiny bubbles invisible to the naked eye, as if struck by a red-hot iron.
He didn't dive down, but instead, he crashed straight into the gray-glowing abyss crevice on the seabed at a speed that defied hydrodynamics.
In the pitch-black sea ahead, two enormous dark shapes were frantically reversing.
In the command compartments of the remaining two Leviathan-class nuclear submarines, alarms were blaring in complete chaos.
The captain of submarine number two stared intently at the sonar screen. The sudden disappearance of submarine number one's signal made his heart feel as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
"Launch! Launch all the high-frequency oscillating torpedoes!"
He roared madly into the communicator, spitting all over the screen.
"No matter what kind of monster it is, in these waters, even a divine realm martial artist would be blown to bits!"
Six heavy torpedoes, equipped with the latest technology from the A.H.I.E.L.D., shot out of their launch tubes, leaving long trails. These torpedoes were not filled with traditional explosives, but with highly concentrated liquid energy crystals, and the instantaneous temperature generated by the explosion could reach one-tenth the temperature of the sun's surface.
Lu Yuan looked at the six white waves rapidly approaching in the water ahead.
He didn't even try to hide.
He stretched out his right hand and made a grasping motion with his five fingers in the seawater in front of him.
The seawater within a radius of 100 meters instantly froze.
The six heavy torpedoes, traveling at speeds exceeding 100 knots, seemed to have been paused, halting abruptly less than ten meters from Lu Yuan. Their tail thrusters continued to spin wildly, but they simply couldn't advance an inch.
The captain of the second submarine saw this scene through the night vision screen of the deep-sea periscope.
His mouth was wide open, and his breath was completely sucked out in that instant.
"This is impossible...this violates the laws of physics!"
Lu Yuan slightly hooked his finger back.
The six heavy torpedoes immediately changed direction and returned along the same path at twice the speed they had come from.
Boom!
The violent explosion unleashed a terrifying undercurrent storm in the deep sea. The two multi-billion dollar nuclear submarines were blasted into countless twisted metal fragments without even making a ripple. The burning liquid crystals emitted a blinding blue light in the seawater, illuminating the surrounding area for several kilometers.
Lu Yuan continued his descent, passing through the flames of the explosion.
An explosion of that magnitude couldn't even graz the edge of his protective true essence.
We are less than 200 meters from the abyss rift.
The water temperature here has dropped below freezing, but the seawater has not frozen; instead, it has a strangely viscous texture.
Lu Yuan stopped.
He glanced at his right wrist. It had just been grazed by a very subtle current; although it hadn't even broken the skin, it had cut a small gash in the cuff of his white shirt.
"Now that you're here, don't hide it."
Lu Yuan's voice spread through the vacuum of the seabed using his true essence.
The seawater distorted.
Four figures dressed in specially made black diving suits slowly emerged from the shadows of the rock wall at the edge of the crevice.
They were not wearing any oxygen equipment. The surrounding seawater formed strange whirlpools around them, continuously supplying oxygen from the water into their mouths and noses.
The leader was a bald white man with a blood-red spider web tattooed on his neck.
Dark Web, S-class water-based ability user, codename "Siren".
"Martial artists from China?"
The siren makes a sound through a special throat vibrator, which sounds like fingernails scraping a blackboard.
"Able to tear apart a nuclear submarine with bare hands, it seems you're the guy who killed Shura in Jiangzhou. Although Zhao Tianlong's 10 billion dollar bounty has been withdrawn, your head is now worth 30 billion on the dark web's black market."
The siren licked her lips, her eyes revealing undisguised greed.
"On land, we really can't do anything to you. But in the deep sea, water is my domain. You must have used up a lot of your inner energy just now by forcibly controlling the torpedo, right?"
He thought he had seen through Lu Yuan's trump card.
In the understanding of those with supernatural abilities, the internal energy of ancient martial artists would be multiplied by the water pressure in the deep sea. At this depth, even a peak-level expert could not last more than ten minutes.
Lu Yuan looked at the bald man.
He couldn't even be bothered to correct the other party's ridiculous theory of "internal energy".
"Why do you insects always use your pitiful limited knowledge to speculate about powers you can't even comprehend?"
Lu Yuan lifted his foot and took a step forward.
"Arrogant!"
The siren's face darkened, and she clenched her hands together abruptly.
The surrounding tens of thousands of tons of seawater instantly surged, transforming into four thick water dragons, carrying the power to shred steel, and crashing down on Lu Yuan from four directions. These four water dragons were filled with rapidly spinning water blades—the invincible meat grinders of the sea monsters in the deep sea.
Lu Yuan did not stop.
He simply uttered a single word.
"Disperse."
Words become law.
The laws of heaven and earth at the Mahayana stage directly took over this sea area.
The four menacing water dragons, three meters above Lu Yuan's head, suddenly disintegrated into ordinary water droplets, merging into the surrounding undercurrents.
The siren's body suddenly straightened up.
His prized water-based superpower completely lost its connection at this moment. The surrounding seawater seemed to have been severed from its source, turning into a pile of lifeless matter.
"What did you do?!"
The siren finally panicked and instinctively tried to retreat.
Lu Yuan had already walked up to him.
"Playing in the water underwater?"
Lu Yuan forced a cold smile and grabbed the siren by the neck with his right hand.
"I'll show you what real water control is."
The words fell.
The siren's blood suddenly began to boil uncontrollably. His eyes widened in terror, bulging out of their sockets, and countless beads of blood seeped from his skin.
boom!
The siren's body exploded from the inside.
There was no bloodshed. In an instant, all the water in his body was forcibly drained by Lu Yuan, turning him into a shriveled mummy, which drifted away with the ocean currents.
The remaining three S-class superhumans were terrified.
They didn't even have the thought of resisting; they turned and fled frantically towards the surface of the sea.
"Since you're already here, don't leave."
Lu Yuan swung his hand back.
Three water blades appeared out of thin air and sliced across the necks of the three people more easily than cutting tofu.
Three headless corpses slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the trash; his gaze was fixed on the abyss rift below, which emitted a gray light.
The energy fluctuations there are extremely chaotic.
On the surface, it appears to be a naturally formed spatial fault, but Lu Yuan's Mahayana stage divine sense keenly detected several extremely faint array patterns hidden at the edge of the crack.
The method of setting up the formation was exactly the same as the incomplete spirit-gathering formation in Kunlun Death Valley.
The scum of the Sirius system.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
It seems that the Guixu Secret Realm in the East Sea wasn't recently exposed. That old bastard from the Sirius Star Region has already extended his reach here.
Without further hesitation, he flashed and disappeared directly into the gray crack.
