Shadow Hack - Chapter 297
Chapter 297: Using All Sorts Of Methods
Since three months had already passed by then, the group of descenders had no idea about the heaven-shaking matter and were completely unaware about the flux ancestor’s fall.
At the moment, the group had just walked out of the jungle and were holding under the unnatural gravity of the origin world for the first time, which was a completely new challenge.
None of them had ever expected that after their group of most powerful fluxers descended to the origin world, they wouldn’t be fighting with the natives of the origin world and the descenders from other Earths, but would have to spend lots of time miserably adapting to their new surroundings.
And the first thing they had to face was the terrifying gravity of the origin world.
People like Xiye Hanbei, Man Tian, Coiling Tiger, Li Yunmu, and the others who possessed tyrannical bodies were still doing good. Although the sudden increase in the gravitational pull by several tens of folds was quite uncomfortable, at least they could still support themselves.
But the rest of the descenders weren’t so fortunate, especially those who lacked strength and didn’t possess a sufficiently formidable flesh. At the instant they walked out of the jungle by the dragon’s corpse, the increase in gravity was a catastrophe to them. Although it wasn’t as frightening as the suppression by the dragon’s might, but under the powerful gravity, some of these people soon found it difficult to move even one step.
Among them were the three people of the Northern Continent. Apart from Zhongshan Anling, who could persevere for half a moment, the blood circulation of others was swiftly obstructed and their faces turned deathly pale.
All of them lost consciousness and fell on the ground one after another.
Before long, the girl with the green serpent and Ruyan Lanzhi from the Higher Dimensional Continent also began to feel the pressure. Both of them were women so they had an innate resistance against tempering and cultivating their flesh.
Thus, they were also on the verge of collapsing under the pressure of the omnipresent gravity.
Hai Yue also wasn’t an exception. However, the three meter tall Men Shen who had been protecting her all along was quite easily resisting against the pressure.
Thud.
Just when everyone thought that Hai Yue won’t be able to persevere anymore, she took out an indigo pearl whose surface was flickering with ocean blue light from her storage badge.
She performed some rites by placing this pearl on top of her head, and her body, which was originally tottering, surprisingly became stable. Ocean Temple’s holy daughter sure enough had great resources at her disposal.
When someone recognized this indigo pearl, they couldn’t help but shout out, “Underworld Ocean Sage Pearl.”
Once everyone heard this name, their minds were instantly shaken. No one had expected that Ocean Temple would surprisingly prepare such a pearl for Hai Yue when she went to descend.
The name of underworld ocean is generally used to describe an area that has a certain depth in the ocean. It is roughly thirty thousand kilometers. This depth is considered as underworld ocean’s border.
Before the Dark Ages, the ocean’s depths didn’t extend to the underworld ocean line, but after the turmoil caused by the continental slabs because of the Dimensional Shooting Star, this region came into being.
In short, the strength of the sea beasts so deep in the ocean had evolved to sage layer. They all possess a common characteristic, and that is that their corporeal bodies are unusually dense and extremely enormous in size.
Thus, ordinary people came to call these types of sea beasts as underworld ocean beasts, all of whom are sage layer beasts. In the six continents, the evolved sage layer beasts had been exterminated long ago, with just a few of them remaining as sect guardians here and there.
But within the boundless oceans, there are many underworld ocean sage beasts.
The source of the Underworld Ocean Sage Pearl is actually the inner dan of the underworld ocean monsters who had evolved to become existences equivalent to battle sages.
Each of them is more terrifying than a human battle sage, thus Ocean Temple giving the Underworld Ocean Sage Pearl to Hai Yue was really a huge investment.
This is because the underworld ocean sage beasts are even more difficult to kill than human battle sages.
“I’m alright, you should quickly check on the others.”
After catching her breath, Hai Yue immediately pulled the people who were unable to resist against the earth’s gravity into the area shielded by her Underworld Ocean Sage Pearl.
This item naturally had an area shield which was as magnificent as the domain produced by Domain Sages, or maybe was even more formidable.
At this instant, Li Yunmu finally experienced the profound reserves of the transcending powers, especially Ocean Temple which had always existed at the bottom of the ocean. Just this one pearl had completely stunned everyone.
After some time, Ruyan Lanzhi also woke up. Suddenly she took out numerous seventh dimensional talismans and put them on her chest.
Instantly, color returned to her deathly pale cheeks. Although her forehead was still filled with beads of sweat, she could now resist against the gravity by herself.
“This is the seventh dimensional weight reduction talismans from the Seventh Dimension?”asked Xiye Hanbei, his eyes narrowed. Unexpectedly, he had recognized this talisman used by Ruyan Lanzhi.
“Yes, it can weaken the gravitational pull by roughly thirty times.”
Seeing that this treasure talisman had been recognized by someone, Ruyan Lanzhi confidently acknowledged it.
The seventh dimensional weight reduction seal which she held might be far less precious than the Underworld Ocean Sage Pearl, but it was still an extraordinary item, and the most important fact was that it was just the right medicine for their current problem.
With the thirty times reduced gravity, Ruyan Lanzhi could at least maintain consciousness by relying on her own strength.
However, Xiye Hanbei’s faction wasn’t as fortunate as Hai Yue who had the Underworld Ocean Supreme Sage Pearl or Ruyan Lanzhi with her seventh dimensional weight reduction talisman.
Zhao Mei, Fan Kong, as well as the other two fluxers who belonged to the faction of rogue cultivators soon began to bleed from the seven apertures.
In fact, these people without any profound backgrounds and who had reached this place just by relying on their own strength could already be considered as terrifying, but if they didn’t possess any tricks up their sleeve, they could only rely on Hai Yue.
If they relied on her, then this rogue faction under the lead of Xiye Hanbei would naturally collapse and Hai Yue would make the biggest profit from this.
As for Xiye Hanbei, he would follow in Zhongshan Anling’s footsteps and would soon find it very difficult to advance. But at this time, a ruthless expression suddenly appeared on Zhao Mei’s face, who was holding onto two flying knives.
She quickly stabbed them into her own body.
“Seven Point Extinction Stabbing Technique.”
She clenched her teeth in extreme agony. Her hands flashed with extreme speed, and in the blink of an eye, she had recklessly stabbed her knives into forty-nine flux points of her body, according to a fixed sequence and method.
In less than three seconds, she had stabbed forty-nine knives, completing the point stabbing technique which was as ruthless towards her as anyone else. As a result, it could be clearly felt that Zhao Mei’s strength was rising.
Unexpectedly, she had utilized the unfathomable stabbing point technique to increase her strength.
“Benefactor Sister Zhao, good trick, seems like Fan Kong also will have to show some ability.”
Fan Kong was also bleeding from the seven apertures. This ascetic cultivator’s true strength was deep and unmeasurable, and he was the other half of the pair of dark horses.
He was clearly more proficient in the cultivation of soul strength, but the strength of his physical body was a weakness which couldn’t be ignored. Zhao Mei’s method had finally prompted him to harden his resolve, and he took out a small golden pill.
His expression flickered once, and he swallowed it. Immediately, his skin transformed. As if gold had been sprinkled all over his body, he became a golden-bodied human.
“What sort of trickery is this?”
Fan Kong’s transformation not only shocked all the descenders, but Li Yunmu as well. He had never heard or seen anything like it.
[Host, if the system hasn’t guessed wrong, then the pill he ate should be the Golden Body Arhat Pill. According to legends, this pill is a body tempering pill which was lost during the Dark Ages.]
