Martial World's
Ch 2145 - Lake of Death

…
Facing the Great Flood Crown Prince, all the ravines within the Inner Alliance were tense.
The Great Flood Crown Prince was already at the peak of the middle True Divinity. Moreover, he was much larger than that older True Divinity abyss.
Facing such an opponent, Lin Ming, Sheng Mei, and Deep Echo alone were not enough to become his opponent.
If these returned to the upper world then they could spread out in all directions to escape. But here, in this underground world, they were no different from turtles in jars, with no place to hide!
A killing intent slowly spread from the two abyssal alliances. The air seemed to coagulate into something dense, thus making the weaker abyss difficult to move.
Sheng Mei took a deep breath and grasped her bone sword. His mind reached an unprecedented state of concentration. As he held the bone sword in his hand, his palm was slightly wet. Even he found it difficult to remain calm when facing an enemy like the Great Flood Crown Prince.
He knew that this battle would be difficult.
“Hehe! The sword of His Eminence Holy Demonness was truly extraordinary. It seemed to be made from the bones of an ancient sage and its quality even surpassed that of a True God spirit treasure! Unfortunately, that sword won't give you a miracle today. Your Majesty, why should you be hostile to me? If you are willing to swear to me and double cultivate with me, then we can work together to search for the secret of eternal life. How?”
As the Great Flood Crown Prince finished speaking, he casually swept his eyes at Lin Ming, a sinister and cold light flashed deep in his pupils.
Sheng Mei was famous as the number one woman who existed throughout the Dark Abyss. If one could obtain it and double cultivate with it, then the benefits of one's cultivation would be incredible.
As for Lin Ming, he was Sheng Mei's chosen fiance. If he wanted to become one with Sheng Mei, he naturally had to eliminate Lin Ming first.
No matter how talented Lin Ming was, what mattered in life or death battles was one's absolute strength. He was fully confident he could kill Lin Ming.
Lin Ming maintained his composure as he quickly analyzed the Great Flood Crown Prince's strength. If he were to face the Great Flood Crown Prince then once the battle erupted he would be forced to reveal his true self and would no longer be able to hide his identity.
If that happens then the situation will become troublesome. That meant he had to kill all the bottomless pit here that saw his true appearance!
Moreover, there was Deep Echo; if Deep Echo saw her true self, would she possibly help the enemy?
“You, follow me closely as soon as the battle erupts. At the last moment I will use a secret technique and you must protect me!
Since Lin Ming never mentioned his name, Sheng Mei simply referred to him as ‘kamu’.
Hearing Sheng Mei's voice transmission, Lin Ming's mind moved. Indeed, Sheng Mei had been following the Soul Emperor all along. At the crucial moment he should have some sort of life-saving card.
Except that as a last resort, Lin Ming did not want to reveal his true self because if he did there would be too many new problems.
All sorts of thoughts raced through Lin Ming's mind. And at this moment, there was a distant cry.
Everyone is surprised. They turned their heads towards the sound and what they saw made their scalps tingle.
In the moments before now, the two Empyreans who did not belong to the Far Alliance or the Flood Alliance wanted to make use of their time getting engaged to each other to be the first to investigate the lake. They wanted to secretly search for treasures as well as avoid the slaughter between the two sides.
But as they stepped onto the edge of the lake, a seemingly ordinary marshy land, one of the Empyrean ravines stepped on something and a black fog rose which enveloped him.
In just a short moment, while this bottomless abyss was shivering violently, the scales on its originally ferocious body began to fall out and its towering and powerful body began to dissolve into bloody water that splashed onto the ground.
The Empyrean ravine melted. All that was left was a head that stared wide-eyed at the sky, filled with panic. But soon this head also dispersed.
Until the moment he died, this bottomless pit had no voice; only his friend had shouted.
The Abyssal level Empyrean had died in an inexplicable manner, only melting into nothingness. This is a sight too horrible.
“This... this is..”
The surviving Abyssal level Empyrean muttered with a paper-white face. He did not even dare to take a deep breath. Slowly, he carefully stepped back, wanting to withdraw from the murderous marshland that was as if it came from hell.
After all, this Empyrean had survived many life or death situations in his time. He was well aware that if he did not maintain his composure but instead turned around to run, then his death might come sooner.
With a terrified cry, something seemed to grab his ankle from below and ruthlessly pulled him down!
“Ah!”
This Empyrean level chasm let out a pitiful cry. But before long his body sank into the swamp, and in just a few moments, his terrified cry also sank.
After a while, the bones began to slowly drift.
These bones still retained the shape of someone who was struggling; they were the bones of an Empyrean level abyssal that had just died.
This kind of feeling was like someone had been instantly eaten with only bones left, leaving behind one incomparable fear!
“What is it!?”
Looking at this scene, all of the bottomless abyss present, even the extremely arrogant Great Flood Crown Prince, could not help but feel their hearts pounding in their chests.
They had just investigated whatever this underground existence was, but they still did not manage to find what was secretly eating two Empyrean level abyss.
And, this Empyrean level bottomless pit was equally a proud elite of the Dark Gorge. But from beginning to end, they were eaten and regurgitated back as quickly as cherries.
That mysterious underground existence actually possessed strength above that of a True Divinity level abyssal. As for the exact ranking, no one could be certain.
All the bottomless abyss present held their breath for a while. In their minds, this tranquil underground world became a dark land filled with terrifying terror.
In particular, the abyss with Empyrean power level regretted their impulsiveness to fly into the underground crevice.
Some bottomless abyss swallowed and involuntarily retreated from the direction of the lake. If those who had hurriedly approached the lake just now, then the ones who turned into bones and bloody water were them.
The Great Flood Crown Prince's skin darkened. Even he felt depressed in such a situation. This was only near the edge of the lake, yet such a frightening existence was here. What will be at the bottom of the lake?
Even if a monstrous existence emerged from the bottom of the lake that could easily slam him, the Great Flood Crown Prince would still not be surprised.
After all, this hidden land had existed for over 100 billion years.
Moreover, the one who left this land was most likely the Demon God of legends. As for what would develop on this land over a span of 100 billion years, no one knew.
Thinking of this, the Crown Prince of the Great Flood and the other bottomless pit had not dared to go against Lin Ming and Sheng Mei.
Even if the Great Flood Crown Prince was confident that he could kill Lin Ming and Sheng Mei, it would still require a lot of energy. If some monsters jumped at him once he weakened, he would just be their dessert.
Moreover, the fight between several True Immortals would definitely affect the surroundings. The two Empyreans had just reached the edge of the lake to warn one of the monsters.
If their fight caused the heavens and earth to tremble then perhaps even the monsters at the bottom of the lake would be churned. If a crowd of angry monsters suddenly rose, then their fate could be imagined.
“You still want to fight?”
Sheng Mei coldly looked at the Great Flood Crown Prince, her eyes glittering and her voice resolute. The bone sword in his hand glittered. If there was a fight then he would naturally accompany them to the end.
The Crown Prince of the Great Flood frowned. He coldly snorted and finally said, “Watch yourself lucky. I'll let you live this time, of course, the premise is you all don't turn into bloody water!
The Great Flood Crown Prince waved his hand and brought the others behind him to leave.
“Your Highness Crown Prince, what should we do..?”
The True Divinity level Abyssal asked from beside the Great Flood Crown Prince.
“Let them live for now. At an important moment we might be able to use it as a shield. First we will look for luck opportunities and potential dangers in the area. Once we determine our situation then it is still not too late to destroy them.
“And that lake..”
“We certainly have to go in to see. There was at least a 70-80% chance that this mystic realm was related to the Demon God. If we enter the treasure mountain and return empty-handed, then what's the point of developing martial arts!”
Hearing the words of the Crown Prince of the Great Flood, many bottomless abyss felt a chill run down their backs. They looked at the dark gray lake and to them now looked like the jaws of a savage beast were wide open, alarming the mind. As for the lake water, they were blocking their senses; no one knew what was inside.
