Chapter 3715: Ocean Abyss

"As far as I knew, the Sea of Berserk had already been infiltrated by the God Clan. The Sea God of the Sea of Berserk, Shane, might have already secretly sided with the God Clan."

Feng Tiya’s expression turned grave. Her right hand unconsciously tightened around the Sea God’s Trident as she said in a deep voice, "The deep sea belongs to our sea race."

"That’s right."

Kandal sighed. A trace of exhaustion appeared in his cloudy vertical pupils. "When Black Castle approached me this time, I originally did not want to help. But Black Castle told me that they were currently being threatened by the God Clan. They were searching for the magic array in the deep sea to deal with the God Clan."

When Fang Heng heard this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

Oh?

Black Castle’s operation this time was actually related to the God Clan as well?

How strange.

The God Clan did not seem to have deeply entered the game yet.

So how had Black Castle encountered them?

A faint sense of unease rose within Fang Heng.

Could the Black Orb also be connected to the God Clan?

Feng Tiya thought for a moment before raising her head and saying, "I once heard my father mention that when the sea race fought against the God Clan, the sea race was once at a disadvantage. Later, the sea race lured the God Clan into the Sea Abyss sealed area and used the power of the Sea Abyss sealed land to heavily wound the God Clan. Only then did they reach a peace agreement with the God Clan and cease hostilities."

"That’s correct. The God Clan only agreed to make peace because they feared our strength."

Kandal nodded and said, "Most records from that period have already become unclear. I suspect it was very likely accomplished with the magic array at the bottom of the Sea Abyss. If we can understand the operating principles of the Sea Abyss magic array, or even replicate it, it would become an extremely important trump card for our deep sea."

"But this matter cannot leak out."

Kandal’s tone turned cold once more as he said, "Right now, the deep sea is filled with informants from the Sea of Berserk sea race. Once news leaks out, I worry the God Clan will interfere and may even make a huge issue out of it."

The hall fell silent once again.

Fang Heng secretly nodded.

Kandal had considered things very thoroughly.

He simply had not expected the God Clan’s influence to extend so far, to the point that even the deep sea had been infiltrated so heavily.

Could it be that the God Clan had already learned of his presence in the deep sea as well?

Kandal’s vertical pupils turned toward Fang Heng again.

"Fang Heng, you have a grudge against the God Clan, and you appeared openly in the deep sea. Your presence has probably already been discovered by the Sea of Berserk’s informants, and the news has likely spread. The God Clan will probably react very soon."

"You may stay in the deep sea as long as you wish, but if you do not want to confront the God Clan head-on, you should leave the deep sea as soon as possible."

Just as expected.

Fang Heng felt somewhat helpless inside.

Whatever.

He was already used to being targeted by the God Clan anyway.

Fang Heng shrugged and said, "In that case, Senior Kandal, I would like to immediately head to the Sea Abyss to rescue my companions."

"Is that so? It seems you are quite confident in rescuing your companions." Kandal nodded and said, "Very well. I can send people to accompany you to the Sea Abyss, but I have one condition."

"What condition?"

"If the structure of the Sea Abyss magic array can be replicated..." Kandal narrowed his vertical pupils, lowering his voice extremely low. "I want a complete record."

Fang Heng did not hesitate, "No problem."

"Then it’s settled." Kandal said, "I need some time to prepare. In two hours, I will send trusted subordinates to accompany you there. Be careful."

Feng Tiya looked at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, I will go with you."

Fang Heng turned to look at her.

"The entrance to the Sea Abyss is located at the junction of the three great deep seas. The spatial environment there is extremely complicated. I can open an ocean space passage to help you reach the Sea Abyss more quickly." As Feng Tiya spoke, she raised the Sea God’s Trident in her hand. "Do not refuse. The magic array within the Sea Abyss is extremely important to our sea race. Besides, we also share a common enemy."

Fang Heng thought for a moment before nodding. "Alright. Thank you."

...

Three hours later.

Outside the palace.

Fang Heng’s group was already fully prepared.

A sturdy and elite-looking merman led a group of merman guards out from the temple.

Victor had sharp facial features, and his body was covered with dense silver-gray scales. Two curved blades hung at his waist, and he carried a fierce aura about him. He looked toward Fang Heng’s group and nodded. "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang Heng, I am Victor, a royal guard of the Sea King. I have always been responsible for the security of the Sea Abyss region. This time, under Lord Kandal’s orders, I will accompany everyone on this rescue mission."

"Alright, let’s depart."

Without wasting words, Feng Tiya slashed forward with the Sea God’s Trident in her hand. The seawater ahead split apart, and a deep blue ocean space passage formed before them.

Everyone entered one after another.

The Sea Abyss was located at the bottom of the deep sea where the three great deep seas intersected.

It was an enormous deep-sea underground rift.

Following the underground rift deeper downward, there existed another world below, which had long been called the Sea Abyss region.

The further the ocean passage extended downward, the stronger the spatial pressure became, and the greater the mental strength required to maintain the passage.

After advancing for more than half an hour, Feng Tiya had no choice but to stop maintaining the space passage.

"The passage can only reach this point. The space ahead is too unstable. Forcefully maintaining the space passage carries the risk of collapse."

Everyone stepped out of the passage one after another.

A bone-piercing chill spread through the area.

Darkness surrounded them.

The Sea God’s Trident in Feng Tiya’s hand emitted a blue glow, illuminating the surroundings.

At this moment, they had already entered fairly deep into the Sea Abyss region within the underground deep-sea rift.

No one knew how much farther it was to the sealed area below.

Fang Heng observed the surroundings with a slight frown.

He finally understood why even the sea race was unwilling to come to the Sea Abyss region.

The first reason was the extreme cold.

The Sea Abyss region lacked sunlight all year round, causing the seawater temperature to drop to freezing levels. The piercing cold continuously drained away body heat.

The second reason was the lack of light.

Not only was there not the slightest trace of light beneath the deep-sea canyon, but the light within the Sea Abyss region was also devoured and absorbed by some unknown power.

Even the faint glow emitted by Feng Tiya’s Sea God’s Trident was compressed into an extremely short range.

Fang Heng attempted to release his mental strength to investigate the surroundings.

However, the moment his mental strength spread less than ten meters outward, it felt as though it had struck an invisible wall and was greatly weakened by a strange force.

Interesting.

Fang Heng secretly nodded.

The dark ocean not only devoured light but also devoured perception and spiritual fluctuations.

"Do not excessively release your mental strength."

Victor quietly reminded him from the side, "The darkness of the Sea Abyss region originates from residual power leaking out from an ancient seal. This residual power devours all external energy, including mental strength and perception. The more mental strength you release, the faster it will be drained away. Once your mental strength is exhausted, you may not even be able to detect conditions within two meters around your own body."

Lyanna, who had accompanied Fang Heng, frowned upon hearing this and asked, "If we cannot use mental strength to perceive our surroundings, then how are we supposed to determine our direction?"
