Chapter 649: 100,000 Meters Under the Sea, an Ideal Spot for Leveling

Jiang Chen left, saying nothing.

The vortex here enacts a naked rule.

The harshest survival rule between heaven and earth appears before us: no compassion, no right or wrong, only survival and death.

The weak are to be slaughtered; that is the greatest principle of the whole matter.

Wang Feng chased after him, "Brother, where are you going?"

Jiang Chen said lightly, "To Qinglong Sea."

Qinglong Sea? Wang Feng was momentarily confused; aren't we already above Qinglong Sea?

Jiang Chen's next move gave him the answer.

Jiang Chen suddenly changed direction, plunged straight into the sea, and vanished in an instant.

Wang Feng looked enlightened, "So you're heading to the sea floor."

He clearly saw that Jiang Chen didn't want him to follow, so he didn't chase.

A woman came to Wang Feng's side and whispered, "He's so odd."

Wang Feng smiled, "Heavenly Pride types usually have a temper."

The woman asked oddly, "Is he powerful?"

Wang Feng nodded, "Only Level 74, yet his soul rivals a Divine-level tier. If he's not strong, who could be?"

The Wang family has its own inheritance, allowing them to sense a target's soul tier.

Jiang Chen's soul tier is high; he has already reached the Divine-level tier.

In other words, achieving Divine Level is inevitable for Jiang Chen.

Therefore Wang Feng is especially courteous to Jiang Chen, unlike his manner with others.

Wang Feng smiled, "When you see him later, be more courteous. His future achievements are boundless!"

The woman, also experienced, understood exactly what Wang Feng meant.

No one knows how deep Qinglong Sea is.

A Level 89 practitioner once went down, diving tens of thousands of meters without reaching the bottom.

Eventually, the pressure became too great, forcing a retreat.

Jiang Chen knows that if the Divine Entity remains in Qinglong Sea, it must be on the sea floor.

Qinglong Sea is silent, with no monsters or living beings.

Even though the vortex summons between souls, both Star Light Sea and Wind and Thunder Sea have had monsters summoned, but Qinglong Sea alone has none.

It seems Qinglong Sea has never had monsters at all.

Yet Jiang Chen knows there are monsters in Qinglong Sea.

When things go awry, monsters appear.

Jiang Chen dives deeper, and in a flash he reaches 5,000 meters.

There is no light here; it is utter darkness.

Soul energy flows slowly, spreading and becoming Jiang Chen's eyes.

Water pressure surges from all directions, constantly crushing Jiang Chen.

But Jiang Chen is unaffected; the pressure at 5,000 meters is still insufficient to harm him.

Until Jiang Chen reaches the ten‑thousand‑meter depth.

Suddenly, white light flashes before him, and Bone Armor automatically activates.

Jiang Chen continues descending, twenty thousand meters.

Thirty thousand meters.

At fifty thousand meters, the Bone Armor cannot endure and explodes with a boom.

Jiang Chen stops replenishing it; even if he did, it would shatter, so he saves trouble.

All the pressure he bears, after being greatly reduced, is transferred entirely to the Undead Legion.

The Undead Legion, in the Summon Queue, shares the pressure for Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen continues sinking.

Finally, at 100,000 meters, he reaches the sea floor.

At this point, the water pressure is astonishing; even a Level 89 practitioner cannot withstand it—one must be at Divine Level to get here.

But Divine-level Strongmen cannot stay long in the Lower Space.

Jiang Chen also realizes why the Great God of Tian Shan stopped seeking others; others are useless.

Below Divine Level, only he himself can endure it.

The dead‑silent Qinglong sea floor and the raging surface are like two extremes.

The vortex's power still exists; here one can still hear the souls and the intermittent suction when the vortex turns.

Compared to the surface, it is considerably weaker.

"Hope the Divine Entity isn't dragged into the vortex."

"If it gets dragged into the vortex, we have no choice but to give up."

Jiang Chen doesn't wish to confront that deity in the vortex for now; the deity is too powerful, and he has no confidence.

The sea floor depth reaches 100,000 meters, i. e., 100 kilometers.

The Sacred Sound Wind Chime's detection range for the Divine Entity is also only 100 kilometers.

This forces Jiang Chen to search for the Divine Entity within the sea.

Jiang Chen begins to ascend, staying around fifty thousand meters deep, and starts to scour Qinglong Sea for the Divine Entity.

Jiang Chen calculated that at his speed, circling the entire Qinglong Sea once would take about six days.

It's not too long, provided no accidents occur.

As we gradually move away from the vortex, the soul's sound grows fainter until it disappears.

The vortex's suction also gradually vanishes.

Jiang Chen realized that he had already arrived beneath the Wild Continent.

Beneath the continent's crust, besides seawater, there are vast stretches of underwater mountains and rocks, forming intricate passages.

Sensing the soul's power, a multitude of monsters appeared.

These monsters were clearly all moving away from the vortex; they hid, not being bewitched by the soul's sound.

Jiang Chen's uninvited arrival immediately drew the monsters' attention.

The monsters, moving in packs with territorial awareness, launched fierce attacks on Jiang Chen in groups.

Jiang Chen naturally did not hold back, releasing the Undead Legion to slaughter in the sea.

In an instant, the previously tranquil Qinglong Sea became wildly bustling.

The Undead Legion rampaged, leaving the monsters stripped of all armor.

Fresh blood dyed the undersea world crimson.

The scent of blood attracted even more monsters, causing the Qinglong Sea floor—calm for countless years—to boil over completely.

Jiang Chen paid no mind to these monsters; he continued searching for the Divine Form.

The Undead Legion roamed unchecked, killing wherever it went.

Jiang Chen discovered that many of the Qinglong Sea floor's monsters seemed to possess a toxic attribute.

Even in the seawater, a green‑blue eerie glow could be seen.

Numerous monsters would spew lethal poison, shrouding large areas.

Toxicity is a nightmare for cultivators, but it has no effect on him.

The Undead Legion is even more immune; the Lich General's Purge Skill can neutralize corpse poison, let alone this sea's toxin.

The Qinglong Sea floor world is far larger than the Wild Continent.

At a depth of 100,000 meters, massive numbers of monsters inhabit every few hundred meters.

The monsters have their own territorial zones, like layered territorial spaces.

The scale of the undersea world is at least comparable to hundreds of Wild Continents.

Jiang Chen's commotion attracted a torrent of monsters.

He pursued both Divine Form hunting and leveling without compromise, his experience soaring.

In just a few hours, a glow of advancement emanated from his body.

He rose from Level 74 to Level 75, and Jiang Chen's eyes shone with joy: "Didn't expect so many monsters down here; should have come earlier!"

"Even without finding the Divine Form, this round was profitable."

Jiang Chen added another task; he began continuously summoning to replenish the Undead Legion.

At Level 75, the total number of the Undead Legion reached 187,000, an increase of 14,200 over Level 74.

Jiang Chen still allocated the four major troop types evenly, each numbering 46,750.

Not only did the numbers rise, but the attributes also improved significantly.

The highest‑attribute unit is the Skeleton Berserker, with Four-Dimensional Attribute Balance; each attribute reaches 1.1 million, total 4.4 million.

The Skeleton Great Mage's total attributes are slightly lower than the Skeleton Berserker's, but its Spirit Attribute stands out alone at 3.8 million.

The Headless Knight's Strength and Constitution attributes surpass those of the Skeleton Berserker, with total attributes also breaking 4 million.

Only the Skeleton Divine Archer's attributes are a bit weaker, yet its skill is Soul Attack, whose damage is not lacking.

As Jiang Chen's level climbs higher, the Undead Legion's growth also becomes massive.

At the same time, Jiang Chen also develops a suppressed feeling.

It feels as if some unseen force in the void is pressing down on him.

He had felt something similar before; the first time it appeared was after the Second Transcendence.

Back then the sensation was weak, his soul was not strong, and he thought he had sensed incorrectly.

With each level increase, the feeling becomes ever more pronounced.

Especially after his soul reached Divine Level, the first upgrade when his skills were enhanced, that feeling resurfaced.

It is merely a feeling; no trace can be found.

He even mentioned this to Antares, who also could not explain it.

Antares even wondered whether he might have sensed it wrong.

Sometimes Jiang Chen also wonders if he himself misperceived it.

After this upgrade, the suppressed feeling reappeared.

He cannot locate its source, and words fail to describe it—it is a vague, unreal sensation.

Jiang Chen even entertained the thought that his skills should be this weak, yet could become stronger.

It seems some rule is limiting his skills.

If you discard innate talent, his Skeleton is indeed not strong.

A Level 75 Skeleton Berserker has total attributes of only about 55,000.

Including the Lich General's bonus, the attributes are still under 100,000.

Even the most ordinary profession among the Human Race at Level 75 has total attributes exceeding 500,000.

Without innate talent skills, his only advantage is the massive summon count and the variety of skills.

Without innate talent skills, when facing peers, he still holds a sure victory.

Not to mention duels; even one against ten is no problem.

If it reaches this level now, it's absolutely impossible.

Since I am a unique profession and have undergone two Profession Ascensions, I shouldn't be this weak.

Even without talent, I shouldn't be this weak.

As the rank rises, this feeling of being suppressed becomes increasingly obvious and intense.

It has always been a mystery that troubles Jiang Chen.
