Chapter 460

"Is there really no choice but to retreat?"

Luren frowned slightly, looking at the cold current sharks lunging at him, feeling vaguely unwilling.

This cold current was already terrifying, and now that he had encountered sharks condensed into form, reaching the source of the cold current was extremely difficult.

"Got it!"

Luren felt a surge of joy in his heart, then his level two early-stage eighth-heaven Guangjie Sword Intent rose up within his body, and he swung his sword out fiercely.

Puchi!

The pitch-black cold current was split apart under Luren's sword, and that massive shark was also cleaved in two, shattering instantly.

"It really works!"

Seeing this scene, Luren widened his eyes in shock.

Afterwards, he channeled his light-attribute Sword Momentum, condensed it into form, and wrapped his body in it.

Light-attribute Sword Momentum could suppress dark attributes, and with Luren channeling Jiuyang True Fire to protect his body, the cold current could no longer cause him much harm.

"Under the Chaos Heaven Grinding Method, my Sword Momentum can now take form to protect my body. The Abyss Cold Current contains dark attributes, yet it is suppressed by my Guangjie Sword Intent!"

Luren was secretly shocked in his heart.

The Chaos Heaven Grinding Method was too strong!

He had only thought his Sword Momentum had been strengthened by the grinding of the Heaven Grinding, but he had not expected it to be so overbearing and tough enough to provide defense.

It could even defend against the corrosive power emitted by 15,000-year-old dark-attribute exotic water, and even disperse it.

It was too terrifying!

"Luren, it seems you have gradually mastered the power of your own Sword Momentum and fully unleashed it!"

Xiaoman said.

"So you knew all along?"

Luren asked in surprise.

"This dragon didn't know, but seeing you unleash your Sword Momentum, I realized that after being ground by the Chaos Heaven Grinding Method, your Sword Momentum has become incomparably powerful, and furthermore, as it continues to be ground, your Sword Momentum will only grow stronger!"

Xiaoman said.

"My Sword Momentum can truly achieve both offense and defense!"

Luren was secretly shocked.

Immediately, he did not hesitate and continued on his way; with his Sword Momentum and Jiuyang True Fire protecting his body, the path ahead was unobstructed.

However, the closer he got to the source, the more sharks lunged at him, but they were all shattered by Luren's Guangjie Sword Intent.

Soon, he saw a mass of pitch-black mist floating in the depths of the abyss, emitting a startling ferocity.

It was none other than the source of the Abyss Cold Current!

"Five Elements Origin Spirit Hand!"

Luren grabbed out with his large hand, and before the source of the Abyss Cold Current could react, it was caught in Luren's palm; no matter how it struggled, it could not break free from his grasp.

And the moment Luren subdued the Abyss Cold Current, a mechanical voice once again echoed through the void.

"The 15,000-year-old exotic water, Abyss Cold Current, has been subdued by Lu Yun!"

As this voice fell, all the martial artists in the Five Elements Secret Realm were shocked; they looked up at the ranking list in the sky and discovered that the only one of the three 15,000-year-old Abyss Cold Currents had disappeared.

"The Abyss Cold Current has actually been subdued? How is this possible?"

"Lu Yun, isn't that the Lu Yun who just entered the Five Elements Secret Realm? The martial artist from Youming Prefecture!"

"Who exactly is this Lu Yun? There is no such person on the Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

Many geniuses on the Hidden Dragon Ranking wore expressions of disbelief.

Only three days had passed since Lu Yun entered the Five Elements Secret Realm, yet Lu Yun had actually subdued a 15,000-year-old Abyss Cold Current; it was simply inconceivable.

Especially the three martial artists who had just left together; upon hearing the voice from the sky, their footsteps halted, and they turned to stare at the distant cliff, their faces showing incredulity.

They remembered that apart from them, only a kid at the second stage of the Yuanzun Realm had dived into the Abyss Cold Current.

"That kid couldn't be Lu Yun, could he?"

"Impossible, he's only at the second stage of the Yuanzun Realm; it's absolutely impossible for him to subdue the Abyss Cold Current!"

The few of them all shook their heads, unable to believe it.

"Let's go back and see; what if it really was him who subdued it?"

One of the martial artists said.

"Perhaps he has some powerful Holy Artifact on him. Let's go take a look; if he really did subdue it, we might be able to reap the fisherman's profit!"

Another martial artist said.

The three discussed it for a moment and then returned the way they came.

At this moment!

In the pitch-black abyss pool, because Luren had subdued the Abyss Cold Current, the water in the pool had gradually become clear.

Luren sat cross-legged in the pool; he did not leave immediately, but instead entered the Samsara Ancient Pagoda.

Immediately, Luren sat cross-legged, took the exotic water seed of the Senluo Phantom Water, handed it to Xiaoman, and began to refine the Abyss Cold Current.

With the Five Elements Origin Spirit Hand suppressing the Abyss Cold Current, Luren refined it with ease, and a pitch-black cold energy seed condensed within his Yuan Realm, floating around the Chaos Profound Pill.

Luren circulated the Five Elements Chaos Art, and instantly, the power of his Mysterious Qi surged significantly.

Luren opened his eyes, a look of pleasant surprise revealed within them.

The Five Elements Chaos Art was truly too strong, perhaps not much weaker than the Great Tomb Heaven Swallowing Art; this time, his exotic water had been replaced by the Abyss Cold Current, and his strength had clearly improved quite a bit.

He feared that if he encountered a genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking at the early stage of the fifth level of the Yuanzun Realm, he should be able to defeat them.

"Time to go subdue the Kirin Thunder Gold!"

Luren was overjoyed; he emerged from the Samsara Ancient Pagoda, leaped up, rushed out of the pool, and landed on the edge of the cliff.

However, just as Luren prepared to fly away, three figures flew over from the distance and landed in front of Luren, each with a fierce glint in their eyes.

"Kid, are you Lu Yun?"

The leading youth had a cold gaze and an exposed sharp edge.

"Who are you?"

Luren asked in return.

"I am Yang Taizhen, ranked six hundred and tenth on last year's Hidden Dragon Ranking!"

The youth said indifferently.

"Ranked six hundred and tenth on the Hidden Dragon Ranking?"

Luren was slightly startled.

Six hundred and tenth—such talent was not weak!

Moreover, this Yang Taizhen seemed to have already stepped into the early stage of the fifth level of the Yuanzun Realm.

"Kid, since you know my identity, answer my questions honestly!"

Yang Taizhen said coldly.

As a genius on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, one generally disdained to take action, needing only to reveal one's ranking.

Especially a genius like him, who at the peak of the fourth level of the Universe Realm had fought into the top ten; his combat power was even more terrifying, and ordinary martial artists would only end up in fear upon seeing him.

Ordinary martial artists dared not offend a Hidden Dragon Ranking genius.

"I am Lu Yun!"

Luren nodded and said.

"What? You really are Lu Yun?"

Yang Taizhen's expression changed, and he asked, "So, you really did subdue the Abyss Cold Current? Tell me, how exactly did you do it?"

"Why should I tell you?"

Luren sneered.

One at the early stage of the fifth level of the Yuanzun Realm and two at the peak of the fourth level of the Yuanzun Realm—he did not take this level of strength seriously.

Clearly, the other party knew he had subdued the Abyss Cold Current and wanted to force him to hand it over.

The Abyss Cold Current was an exotic water with a fifteen-thousand-year history; even as an exotic water seed, its power would not be too weak.

"Kid, do you know what you are saying?"

A youth behind Yang Taizhen stepped forward aggressively and said coldly, "Don't think that no one can die in the Five Elements Secret Realm; if I really want to kill you, you won't be able to survive either!"

"People can be killed in the Five Elements Secret Realm?"

Luren was slightly surprised.

"This Five Elements Secret Realm is covered by a special array; once a martial artist faces a life-threatening crisis, they will be teleported out, but there are places in this Five Elements Secret Realm that the array does not cover!"

As he spoke, the youth grabbed with his large hand and seized Luren.

"Let's go, take him to a place not covered by the array!"

After the youth finished speaking, he carried Luren and flew toward the distance.

Yang Taizhen and the other youth also smiled and followed directly behind.

Within the array, this Lu Yun dared to be arrogant, but once outside the range of the array, they did not believe Lu Yun would still dare to be arrogant.
