Chapter 1386 – Rare Tempering

The feeling of being squeezed was really depressing. Every inch of his skin was being squeezed down and there seemed to be something squeezing out from every pore. The things outside desperately wanted to come in, while the things inside desperately wanted to leave.

An Zheng wanted to raise his head to look at the sky, but he realized that his neck seemed to be broken and there was no way to straighten it.

Amai Ruiken’s voice transmitted from within the ocean water, carrying a kind of arrogance and indifference that came from the depths of his bones.

“It looks like you people of the East haven’t experienced any trials and tribulations, and don’t have many experts. A hypocritical people like you who bow down to us all the time have no iron spirit. If it weren’t for the barrier of thousands of mountains and rivers, my demon clan’s army would have razed your east side to the ground. “However, it seems like my army doesn’t need to come anymore. I can destroy the martial world in the east just by myself.”

A column of water appeared, but it was only deep in the sea. Amai Ruiken appeared not far from An Zheng, and looked at the frozen An Zheng with a face full of contempt.

“You haven’t experienced it, right? People who don’t experience pressure will never understand the fear of power.”

He was even more agile and powerful in the water. In the water, he seemed to be strengthened by an endless amount of power. An Zheng seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move. He, on the other hand, was the Paragon of this ocean.

“After feeling the pressure, I’ll let you experience what is called despair.”

Amai Ruiken suddenly rushed over and punched An Zheng in the chest. This attack was extremely powerful, and with the added bonus from Hai Shui, the power was beyond imagination. An Zheng’s body continued to be smashed downwards, like a cannonball that had sunk into the deep sea. The more they descended, the more pressure An Zheng would feel on his body. The feeling that he was about to be crushed became clearer, as if it was happening in the next second.

“You can’t even fight back here.”

Amai Ruiken rushed over like a fish, the water around him becoming frantic. His left eye seemed to have the ability to see everything in the world and was connected to the Eye of Nine Incarnations of the good old man. But in this place which was extremely deep in the sea, where even the Eye of Nine Incarnations of the good old man could not see, An Zheng’s eyes seemed to be blind. It was too dark, and the sound of water flowing was everywhere, it was the strongest interference in this world. He was unable to sense from where Amai Ruiken was attacking him from deep within the water.

Bang!

An Zheng’s back suffered another heavy blow, and he felt as if his bones could no longer take the attack. As his body continued to descend, it became a dead end. The more powerless they were to resist, the deeper they sank, and the more powerless they became to resist.

Amai Ruiken, on the other hand, was like a fish or thunder that could freely move about in the deep oceans, attacking An Zheng from left to right without restraint. Crack crack crack! * Even the Reverse Scale Armor could no longer withstand such immense pressure.

“Do you think you are invincible in the East? You have a saying in the east called “frog at the bottom of a well”. You people from the East boasted that cultivation originated from the East. To be able to say something like this was enough to prove that you were all frogs at the bottom of a well. Physically, you puny little orientals are born short. And we, are the perfect combination of strength and wisdom. ”

Amai Ruiken ridiculed as he attacked, and with every attack he smashed An Zheng towards the abyss. This was probably the deepest part of the ocean, a world that ordinary people would never be able to experience. Some people said that the tallest mountain on land could not fit into the deepest crevice of the ocean even if it was thrust into the sea. How deep below the sea level was also a forbidden area for cultivators.

In the past, there had been people who had attempted to ascend to the highest peak in the world. They felt the pressure from the heavens, and they had succeeded. He then tried to enter the sea to feel the pressure of the deep sea, but to no avail.

An Zheng felt that his body was already deformed from the pressure, his blood was no longer able to circulate in his body, and his body became weaker and weaker. When the circulation of blood stopped, even the strongest cultivator would be unable to withstand a single blow.

This was also An Zheng. If it was another cultivator, even if their realm was slightly higher than An Zheng’s, their physical body would have exploded long ago. After going through countless extreme refinements, An Zheng’s physique was so strong that it made everyone jealous.

“The biggest thing about you is that you must have been beaten up too much. At this depth, your body has yet to explode, which means that you have been beaten up often and your body is very strong. ”

Amai Ruiken appeared at An Zheng’s side, and with a wave of his hand, a swordfish quickly flew over. Witap of his finger, the swordfish began to emit a resplendent golden light. The swordfish that had been strengthened by Amai Ruiken became tough and sharp, and directly pierced towards An Zheng’s chest.

With a Dang sound, An Zheng’s chest area suffered a heavy blow, and even the defensive power of the Reverse Scale Armor in this environment seemed to have weakened quite a bit. The swordfish pushed the Reverse Scale Armor above and into a small pit, but An Zheng actually did not feel any pain.

“I thought I had felt all the extreme powers in the world, so my body was very strong. And it was very difficult to change it later on because I could not find a better tempering. I thought that I had already tried it, but I forgot about the largest place in the world … ”

An Zheng forcibly lifted his head, resisting the immense pressure that came from the deep sea with his neck as he let out a sound as though he was unable to bear the pressure. And this friction sound was another form of declaration.

An unyielding declaration.

“If I were to strengthen my body, I would not be able to find a more extreme environment on land. Even the lightning pool in the Great Thunder Lake Temple has lost its effect on me. This place is very scary... But for me, it’s good. ”

No one could imagine what kind of changes An Zheng’s physical body had undergone during this period of time. From being forced into the deep sea, roughly a few minutes had passed. In these few minutes, every second Amai Ruiken felt that he could already kill An Zheng. Every single attack he made was not to beat An Zheng up, but to kill An Zheng. He thought that every single attack he made would be able to kill An Zheng … However, he just couldn’t kill it.

His arrogant and domineering words from before, were not so much aimed at An Zheng, but more like encouraging himself. From the first strike, Amai Ruiken had not been able to kill An Zheng. In this kind of environment, where his strength was displayed to the limit, and An Zheng was forced to the limit, he still could not kill his in one strike … Moreover, he didn’t intend to deliberately humiliate An Zheng; he wasn’t the kind of person to humiliate you and make you unable to resist, even if I were to hit you a few more times. After years of fighting, he knew better than anyone else that killing in a single blow was the right thing to do.

How could he not? He just could not do it.

The more they fought later on, the more scared he became. No one was clearer than him about the changes in An Zheng’s body, and perhaps even An Zheng wasn’t clearer about it than him. In the first strike, he did not feel any kind of recoil. He only felt that An Zheng would be blasted away by him, but he did not. From the start of the second strike, every time he attacked An Zheng, there would bebound force appearing on his body. When it seemed that An Zheng was the one who was getting closer and closer to death, An Zheng’s counterattack had already started.

In the end, Amai Ruiken had no choice but to reduce his attack speed because the counterattack force he endured was so great that he could not ignore it.

“I haven’t felt like this in a long time.”

An Zheng felt the tempering that was brought about by the extreme environment. Although it was extremely painful, it also felt a kind of happiness that he had not experienced for a long time. His body had not evolved for quite some time, so how could it be possible for him to break out of the seal with such a speed? He was very anxious, very anxious. He had to restore his strength to its peak as soon as possible in order to be able to resist. Even at the peak of his power, he, Chen Shaobai, and the other two combined would still not be a match for that fellow.

This kind of deep sea extreme environment, had finally stimulated An Zheng’s flesh once again. There were indeed very few environments on land that could stimulate the evolution of the physical body … Even though this kind of feeling was extremely painful, it still made An Zheng feel good.

His body was undergoing a subtle change. Every muscle fiber and even his cells were undergoing a transformation. If An Zheng had not been able to withstand it in the beginning, then such a change would not have happened. After gradually adapting, An Zheng’s body began to adjust to this kind of extreme environment. This was the greatest difference between an ordinary cultivator’s physical body and his divine body.

An Zheng slowly raised his arm as if it was an illusion. However, this was the best starting point … Don’t forget that he couldn’t move a muscle before.

“What …” “Perhaps …”

Amai Ruiken’s face had already started to turn ugly, the arrogance from before had disappeared.

“What did you just say? That the talents of the West are the perfect combination of strength and wisdom? ”

Witu sound,’s feet landed on the ground. This was the deepest part of the depths of the ocean. It was unknown just how deep this sea went.

“Is it my limit?”

An Zheng muttered these four words to himself, then clenched his fists tightly: “Then, you’re useless.”

He raised his head and a beam of purple light shot out from his left eye. Even though Amai Ruiken was the fastest in the water, he was still unable to dodge it. He did his best to avoid the attack, but he only managed to avoid a little bit of it. The beam did not pierce his heart, but it left a bloody hole in his chest.

An Zheng’s eyes had also improved when he was deep in the sea. His left eye could already clearly see all the environment at the bottom of the sea.

“Not bad.”

An Zheng stepped on the seabed, and with a bang, it exploded. This was probably the first time the pressure of someone had come from the deep sea. The moment his feet left the sea bed, the force from the explosion blew up the entire area. The churning water turned intuge whirlpool and all the beasts that Amai Ruiken had summoned nearby were instantly torn into pieces. A massive amount of blood dyed the seawater even deeper, and the smell of blood filled the air.

Bang!

An Zheng’s shoulder heavily struck Amai Ruiken’s chest, causing him to cry out in pain. Carrying Amai Ruiken, An Zheng’s body was like a cannonball as he swiftly flew up. Because his speed was too fast, Amai Ruiken’s body was actually unable to endure it and started to tear apart his back.

Rushing upwards not only brought with it unparalleled pressure, but also a feeling of bursting from the inside to the outside. The blood vessels in Amai Ruiken’s body started to crack uncontrollably, and cracks also appeared on his skin. All the way up, the blood left a strange straight trail.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The water surface exploded as An Zheng charged out of the ocean while holding onto Amai Ruiken.
