Chapter 737: Chapter 731: Pool Bottom Riot

BLUB BLUB BLUB…

The sound of bubbles popping echoed. Shen Haoran, who had his eyes tightly shut, frowned. He looked toward the depths of the Medicine Pool in surprise, having felt a slight tremor coming from below.

‘Is it my imagination?’ Shen Haoran wondered, staring at the pitch-black bottom of the pool. He had definitely felt a slight vibration just now, but the pool floor below showed no signs of movement.

Shen Haoran closed his eyes again. The commotion from his Cultivation was quite significant. It was possible the terrifying heat of the Fire Spirit Black Obsidian had caused an explosion by colliding with some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures that had yet to melt. ‘I might just be oversensitive.’

At that thought, Shen Haoran suppressed his distracting thoughts, and his Heart Spirit gradually sank back into his Cultivation. But as he immersed himself once more, a long stream of bubbles suddenly rose from the dark bottom of the pool. A terrifying energy storm was brewing, seemingly on the verge of erupting at any moment!

Shen Haoran’s Heart Spirit was completely immersed in his Cultivation. Two days passed in a flash. Ever since he broke through to the Tier Nine Spirit Aspect, the growth of his Cultivation had slowed. After two days, Shen Haoran felt that his strength had only just stabilized. He was still far from the barrier to the Spirit Emperor level!

‘No, the Cultivation speed here is too slow. I have to go deeper!’ Shen Haoran opened his eyes, his brow furrowed. At this rate, it would take him at least several more months to break through to the Spirit Emperor Level. If he wanted to speed things up, he had to dive deeper!

With that in mind, Shen Haoran didn’t hesitate. He took one last deep look at the pitch-black pool floor, then his figure flashed as he dove downward.

He continued his descent. Having just broken through, Shen Haoran’s resistance to the surrounding energy pressure had increased significantly. It was only after diving another few hundred meters that he began to feel the oppressive pressure closing in. He was now very close to the bottom of the pool.

“This is the spot!” Shen Haoran said, struggling to lift his arm. The energy pressure here was several times stronger than where he had been before and had reached the limit of what he could endure. This was the perfect place to cultivate.

Shen Haoran immediately sat cross-legged. The Fire Spirit Black Obsidian slowly rose, preparing to begin the Refinement and devour the immense energy around him. However, just as he began to circulate the Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique, a terrifying roar echoed from the bottom of the pool. The entire Medicine Pool began to shake violently, jolting Shen Haoran from his state of Cultivation.

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE…

A series of explosions rang out by his ears. Massive bubbles drifted past his eyes, rising toward the surface of the Medicine Pool. Shen Haoran hurriedly stabilized himself, his brow knitting tightly as he watched the dramatic changes in the pool around him.

“What’s going on? What happened?” Shen Haoran asked in a low voice.

“Boss, look down!” Changmao’s trembling voice rang in his ear. Hearing this, Shen Haoran looked down. When he saw the scene below, his pupils constricted, and the hair on his entire body stood on end.

Below him, massive waves churned, one after another, rushing toward the surface of the Medicine Pool at incredible speed. A terrifying energy storm was scouring the bottom of the pool, forming one enormous vortex after another. The immense pressure squeezed the medicinal liquid together, forcing giant bubbles to rise, only for them to burst violently under the surrounding energy pressure. The entire Medicine Pool was like a boiling cauldron. Shen Haoran felt as if he were inside an erupting volcano, bracing for a world-destroying blast of energy.

‘The energy at the bottom of the Medicine Pool has gone berserk!’ The reason instantly flashed through Shen Haoran’s mind, and he shot upward like a madman. He knew just how terrifying the energy at the bottom of the pool was—it was an accumulation of countless Spirit Medicines, Elixirs, and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures from over a hundred years. Even experts at the Spirit Emperor Tier like Yao Wuchen didn’t dare to venture this deep. One could only imagine how terrifying the pressure below must be. Now that this energy was running rampant, even with his Chaos Divine Body, Shen Haoran couldn’t guarantee he could withstand the impact. He was certain of one thing: if he were swallowed by that energy, the only outcome would be getting smashed to pieces!

Although Shen Haoran reacted quickly, the energy storm below was even faster. Before he could flee a hundred meters, he was instantly swallowed by the rampaging tide of energy!

CRACK…

The moment he was engulfed, Shen Haoran felt as if his entire skeleton was being crushed by a mountain. The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed in his ears.

Scarlet blood gushed from Shen Haoran’s seven orifices. His skin cracked open, and the numerous wounds made him a horrifying sight, a fact amplified by the savage expression on his face. In just a single instant, Shen Haoran was severely injured!

The next moment, Shen Haoran gritted his teeth. His Qilin Arm and Demon Dragon Claw manifested instantly, and the Black Tortoise Shield enveloped him. But the instant the Black Tortoise Shield appeared, it was crushed by the terrifying ambient energy pressure. Cracks visible to the naked eye spread across it like a spiderweb. Seeing this, Shen Haoran’s scalp went numb. Even the Black Tortoise Shield, capable of withstanding a full-force blow from a Tier Nine Spirit Emperor, couldn’t last a single second in this pressure. It was hard to imagine just how powerful this energy was.

Shen Haoran was pinned in place by the energy pressure, unable to move an inch. The tide of energy from below continued to surge upward. If he couldn’t escape soon, he would truly die here.

‘Damn it!’ Shen Haoran desperately mobilized the Spiritual Power in his body, trying to break free from the energy storm. But the moment the Spiritual Power he had just gathered touched the external pressure, it instantly disintegrated. There was nothing for him to leverage.

The pressure from below grew stronger and stronger. The Black Tortoise Shield covering Shen Haoran could no longer hold. Finally, before his shocked eyes, it exploded.

“Fire Vajra!” The instant the Black Tortoise Shield shattered, a fiery red figure appeared. The Fire Vajra materialized in front of Shen Haoran, wrapping him tightly within its body to shield him from the terrifying surrounding energy.

CRACK CRACK…

But upon appearing, even the Fire Vajra’s tough body couldn’t fully withstand the pressure and began to crack. Seeing this, a crazed glint flashed in Shen Haoran’s eyes.

“If I can’t escape, then I’ll just devour you all! I refuse to believe I’ll die here!” Shen Haoran roared. He then sat cross-legged beneath the Fire Vajra’s body and began to frantically circulate the Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique, crazily devouring the terrifying energy pressure around him…
