Chapter 192: Taking Action
At this moment, the entire Earth was plunged into darkness. The dark clouds emitted by the Guardian Dragon had completely covered the planet. Artificial satellites were destroyed, and the power generation facilities on Earth also stopped functioning due to some mysterious interference. This once highly technologically advanced Earth was now completely paralyzed.
“The discovery of the Heavenly Dragon’s secret has caused such a huge stir.”
Chen Xiao stood by the sea, looking up at the pitch-black night sky, shaking his head in exasperation.
“But when will the fourth Transformers movie be made?”
Chen Xiao blinked, staring at the steel giants speeding across the sky in astonishment.
“Never mind. There really are such things on Earth. Ugh, that Chris—after saying he wanted to cooperate, he still doesn’t have a concrete plan. We’re still going our own ways.”
Chen Xiao leaped into the sea, transforming into a drop of water and moving swiftly through it.
Now at the eighth level, Chen Xiao had a deeper understanding of the power within him and could use the Power of the Supreme God more freely. Even his “Yu Zi Jue” technique had reached a new level of refinement. With the full power of the Supreme God at work, his body was almost completely merged with the seawater.
Beneath the Yellow Sea, from the crack torn open by the inverted world array, intense golden light was emanating. Terrifying beams kept shooting out, causing one abler user after another to fall.
“Why do I feel like this crack was deliberately created? Hey, how coincidental—right at the entrance to the Heavenly Dragon’s secret?”
Hidden in the surrounding seawater, Chen Xiao fell deep into thought upon seeing the crack.
Now that he thought about it, this strange crack seemed to have appeared at just the right time. Even the Chinese driving away foreign abler forces and prompting the warships of the three nations to show up seemed planned out, with Chen Xiao merely a small part of it. Even without him, these events would likely still happen.
In an instant, Chen Xiao became highly alert, being extremely cautious. He had now fully transformed into seawater, hiding his life force. Silently, he dived deeper into the massive crack.
Boom!
Suddenly, terrifying explosion sounds came from below the crack, causing the seawater to shake violently.
The next moment, the head of a steel giant rushed up from below the crack but was shattered by something and ejected upward.
A faint smile appeared on Chen Xiao’s face.
“It seems there’s an even stronger guardian below this crack.” Chen Xiao accelerated abruptly, dodging the destructive golden beams shooting from below.
Inside those giant robots were countless abler users. The robots could block spiritual energy fluctuations, but once destroyed, the abler users would be exposed underwater, triggering the underwater beast eyes to fire golden beams.
Finally, Chen Xiao sank underwater and was able to see clearly what was happening below.
Although there is no light here, Chen Xiao has now reached the eighth rank. All his physical strength has been transformed, and his vision has become extremely sharp, allowing him to see clearly even in the completely dark ocean depths.
Underwater, deep-sea dragons with dragon horns on their heads and three toes on their feet roared incessantly. Each of these dragons, equivalent to an eighth-rank being, was incredibly powerful, possessing the strength of super-powered individuals, making them perfect opponents for these deep-sea dragons.
A machine giant standing thirty meters tall and clad in heavy armor grabbed a twenty-meter-long dragon and tore it in half. The dragon let out a agonized scream as its blood instantly filled the seawater. But in the next moment, an even larger dragon swiped its tail at the steel giant, tearing it apart. Then, a terrifying golden light shot from below, destroying the super-powered individual inside.
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. “If the Dragon family also has such guardians, the casualties this time would be severe… Well, if it’s 35,000 eighth-rank puppets, let them suffer the losses.” He thought to himself and sent this information back to Fu Yun to prepare in advance.
Although Chen Xiao’s forces now consisted only of puppets, he still couldn’t afford too many losses. After that, he stopped paying attention to the battles above and dived deeper. Despite countless terrifying dragons blocking the way, many steel giants managed to break through and reach the depths.
Once they arrived below, many super-powered individuals left the steel giants and tried to activate spatial orientation stones. Undoubtedly, these individuals, whether eighth or ninth rank, were all killed by the beast eyes underwater.
“A bunch of idiots. At least wait until you reach the entrance of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury before coming out,” Chen Xiao sneered. “But I doubt you’ll even make it there.”
The beast eyes on the walls only worked in the direction of the entrance. Once they left that area and entered the passage, they could no longer pose a threat to the super-powered individuals.
In an instant, Chen Xiao passed through everyone and entered the entrance of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury. As soon as he entered, he activated the four great arrays—Trap, Kill, Entangle, and Illusion—located in the passage leading to the treasury. These arrays had their own power sources and, although controlled by Chen Xiao, did not consume his own energy.
However, Chen Xiao realized that these four arrays could at most trap or kill ninth-rank warriors; even stronger opponents could only be temporarily confined.
“I wonder if those from the Dragon family are also here,” Chen Xiao thought, frowning slightly at the remnants of the armored steel giants. But he didn’t bother with that and went straight into the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury to retrieve the two treasures of the Ocean God.
After activating the external arrays, Chen Xiao ignored them and quickly reached the entrance of the Heavenly Dragon Secret Treasury. By now, the golden gates of the treasury were fully open, and the giant stone statues that once guarded them on either side had disappeared.
Inside the gates of the Tianlong Secret Treasury, golden light shimmered, with a faint divine aura constantly emanating from within. Chen Xiao realized that someone must have entered there before him. He looked around and found that several people had followed him as well, but they were in extremely poor condition, their clothes tattered. There were seven of them in total—seven ninth-level ancient martial artists. By supporting each other, they had managed to pass through the four major arrays in the passage. “Hm? How is that possible? You managed to pass through that terrifying area unharmed. Do you have some method?” One of them’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Chen Xiao. “No, the arrays hadn’t been activated when I came in; I just went in like this,” Chen Xiao shrugged. The seven of them exchanged glances and suddenly attacked simultaneously, trying to capture Chen Xiao. …
