What is….this?

Chen Sheng stared blankly into the depths of the cave.

There.

A several-meters-long crack, rhythmically undulating in a unique manner.

A faint deep blue glow was emanating from the crack, scattering in all directions.

Inside, it was as if an endless stream of deep-blue water was continuously gushing out following the patterns around the crack.

Chen Liang, who was by his side, was likewise attracted by this crack.

His eyes gradually lost focus, becoming entranced.

As if something inside that crack was drawing him in.

Suddenly.

As if sensing something.

The blue water flowing on the surrounding ice surface suddenly emanated a light that did not originate from within the crack.

Whoosh!

Chen Sheng immediately felt an indescribable pressure descending upon his body.

At the same time.

It seemed as though countless voices were roaring incessantly in his ears.

Kneel!

Kneel!!

Kneel!!!

Strangely.

Inside the entire ice cave, there was not a single sound to be heard.

Yet in Chen Sheng’s mind, the voices were continuously booming, multiplying by the second.

Men and women, old and young.

Every voice was roaring with anger, commanding Chen Sheng to kneel.

Making him feel as if his head was about to split open.

Chen Sheng couldn’t help but clutch his head.

On his forehead, veins were bulging one after another.

Thump!

Chen Liang by his side knelt down directly, almost without any resistance.

He buried his head deeply into the ground, his body shaking violently under the pressure.

Like a small creature facing its natural predator.

Crack- – Crack!

The sounds of bones breaking resonated continuously within Chen Sheng’s body.

His eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

Chen Sheng even had the sense that his brain was about to explode at any moment.

But even so,

He did not kneel.

Instead, he pushed himself against this pressure, trying to stand up straight.

It wasn’t about having a spine.

It was more of a feeling, that if he succumbed to this pressure, he might really die.

Just like that.

Underneath the pressure.

Chen Liang’s body was pressed lower and lower to the ground.

As for Chen Sheng,

He pushed against the pressure, retreating step by step towards the light projection behind him.

One step,

Two steps,

Three steps.

Suddenly, Chen Sheng was before the light projection.

The next step, he could exit the light projection.

But just then

Whoosh!

The pressure on his body disappeared abruptly.

The booming roars in his mind also vanished at the same time.

“Huff…’

Chen Sheng’s body relaxed dramatically.

But his actions did not stop because of it.

Who knew what would happen next?

I better make a run for it!

He lifted his leg to retreat, preparing to leave the ice cave.

But the next second.

Bang!

He suddenly hit the wall with his back.

Chen Sheng’s expression froze instantly.

He slowly turned his head mechanically.

What met his gaze was a stone wall.

The light projection had already disappeared.

The path to retreat had been completely blocked.

And moreover,

Before Chen Sheng could react, something even stranger happened.

The primal humans locked in the ice, each varying in appearance, had quietly transformed.

Chen Sheng watched as these primal humans slowly turned their eyes toward him.

All the angry, sorrowful, and determined expressions on their faces disappeared.

What replaced them were faces with gentle smiles.

But what’s odd was.

Facing the stares of these corpses,

Chen Sheng didn’t feel scared.

On the contrary… he felt a sense of familiarity.

It was as if these people were his old friends, his kin, his family.

Chen Sheng found his own state very odd.

However ,

Before he could figure out what was happening,

The angry voices in his mind demanding him to kneel earlier started resounding again.

Only,

This time, the voices were incredibly tender.

“Don’t be afraid”

“We are all humans, derived from the same bloodline.”

These voices consoled Chen Sheng.

It was a language Chen Sheng had never heard before, but amazingly, he could vaguely understand their meaning.

“We were born weak, but our hearts are determined.”

“Facing the power of heaven, we never bend.”

“Never submit!!”

“Though we humans tried to resist fate, we could not fulfill our duty, what a pity, what a pity.”

“As a human like us, we hope you will uphold this determination.”

“You have suffered.”

“Never forget this determination!” “Would rather die, but never submit!!” The voices exchanged words, Some were resolute and powerful,

Some were soft and gentle,

Some were still immature,

Some were old and hoarse.

It seemed as if they were cautioning Chen Sheng of something.

Before Chen Sheng could understand,

The voices all disappeared.

Following that,

An abnormality occurred once again beneath the ice surface.

The body of a woman suddenly lit up with light blue dots.

These rays of light connected, extending towards a young boy next to her.

Slowly,

The light points on the ice surface became denser. The lines began to form a picture in front of Chen Sheng.

“This is…”

Chen Sheng stared at the pattern on the ice surface, somewhat stupefied.

“A King…Turtle?”

Correct.

What eventually appeared in front of Chen Sheng, was a turtle.

Standing on the sea surface, it raised its head and roared in anger.

The surrounding sea, as if influenced by its emotion, was churning up giant waves.

A huge snake entwined around its tail, flickering its tongue, looking at the sky with a cold gaze.

On its back, there were small human figures, each in different poses.

The two combined, seemed to be challenging something.

Chen Sheng followed the direction of the crowd’s gaze on the scroll and looked up.

Unfortunately,

The scroll did not reveal their enemy.

At that moment,

The scroll changed again.

The light dots forming the scroll started flickering.

Alternating between light and dark, there seemed to be a fascinating rhythm.

Chen Sheng had a sense of realization.

Subconsciously, he began to breathe in the same rhythm as the light dots.

His body also subconsciously mimicked the actions of the people on the turtle’s back.

“Inhale

“Exhale—.”

In the ice cave, a large amount of gas was inhaled into his body, accelerating the circulation of Chen Sheng’s Qi and blood, while also continuously replenishing him with energy.

His heart was beating like a drum, consecutively exploding within Chen Sheng’s body.

His Qi and blood surged like the sea, he could even hear the sound of them rushing through his body.

Every inch of his body seems to be enduring a tremendous pressure, continuously driving Chen Sheng to transform in the direction of greater strength.

“Hiss—

Chen Sheng took a sharp intake of breath.

The rhythm of his breath was forcibly interrupted.

A hint of horror flashed in his eyes.

Chen Sheng looked down at his own body.

That formidable physical body that hadn’t been injured since his breakthrough with the Eagle Body Breathing Technique.

At this moment, tiny cracks spread across the surface of his skin, with fresh blood continuously seeping out.

His hand gently pressed against his chest.

Feeling his gradually calming heartbeat, Chen Sheng finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

What was that breathing rhythm just now?

It was as if he had once again experienced the pain of the first time he tried the Eagle Body Breathing Technique.

That was the pain of the body being unable to accept the enhancement of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique, almost tearing apart.

And his sensation just now was several times more intense than that.

If he continued for a while longer, Chen Sheng had no doubt that his heart would explode.

Could it be…a breathing technique?

Chen Sheng had a sense of understanding. Just as he was about to call up the panel to check,

The surrounding scene changed again.

The people beneath the ice surface had returned to their previous state.

The light curtain also reappeared behind him.

It was as if everything that just happened was merely Chen Sheng’s illusion.

As for Chen Liang, he still lay motionless on the ground, not moving at all.

It seemed he didn’t see the unusual scene that Chen Sheng had just witnessed at all.

“Let’s go.”

This ice cave, is too creepy.

Chen Sheng didn’t want to stay any longer.

He would inspect the panel once they got back to the shore. He pulled on the chain, ready to take Chen Liang and leave.

However,

A thud was heard.

Chen Liang’s body, unexpectedly fell directly to the ground.

Hmm?

Chen Sheng’s gaze tightened.

He saw Chen Liang lying on the ground, his face purple-black, his eyes tightly shut.

And he was no longer breathing.

Whish!

At this point,

Chen Sheng didn’t want to stay in this ghost place for one more second.

Like a shuttle, his figure instantly darted through the light curtain behind him and ran towards the exit of the cave.

As for Chen Liang’s corpse.

It was left hanging in midair behind him like a kite, following Chen Sheng out of the cave.

Darting swiftly in the cave, he accurately avoided each falling droplet and the icy ground.

In less than one minute.

Chen Sheng had already reached the exit of the cave.

Without a second thought, he descended directly through the light curtain to the river bottom.

Feeling the faint chill,

The tensed heart of Chen Sheng gradually came down.

Taking another look at the light curtain on the ground, Chen Sheng’s eyes were filled with a grave expression.

If his guess was right, then what’s sealed inside the crevice, must be a celestial being.

And those humans under the ice around him, must be the ancient humans who sacrificed themselves to seal the celestial being.

And the pressure and the voice he had felt just before would be a trial for the intruders of the ice cave set up by these ancient humans.

Those who pass get rewarded.

Those who fail, die.

It was clear the real celestial being had not moved an inch from the beginning to the end.

The ancient humans, who have been dead for who knows how many years, could limit his actions with just their residual pressure.

How strong could they have been?

And this celestial being that the ancient humans jointly sacrificed to barely seal, and whom they even failed to kill, How much more terrifying could they be?

Through this experience,

For the first time, Chen Sheng acquired an initial understanding of the terrifying strength of the celestial beings.

If what Shen Zi Ming said was true, those celestial beings will be awakening soon…

At this point, Chen Sheng felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.

His slight complacency from the completion of the breathing technique had now vanished.

His strength now, it was still not nearly enough.

He had to be faster, even faster!

He had to acquire the strength to defeat the celestial beings before they awaken!

With this in mind,

Chen Sheng casually pushed the stone covering the light curtain back into place.

Then he used the iron chain to tie up Chen Liang’s corpse on the stone.

The reason why he carried Chen Liang’s corpse was because Chen Sheng was worried that leaving it in the ice cave would cause more trouble. It was more comforting to just tie it here and let it slowly rot.

Having done all this,

Chen Sheng was ready to return to the shore.

But suddenly, his steps halted.

After a bit of deliberation,

Chen Sheng came back to Chen Liang’s corpse.

Next second,

Whoosh!

The pitch-black knuckles cut through the water, crushing Chen Liang’s head entirely.

Only then did Chen Sheng nod satisfactorily and swim towards the shore.

Splash

The massive body jumped out of the water. hitting the ground.

Back ashore,

Chen Sheng immediately called up the panel.

As expected,

He saw a new skill in the skill column.

[Profound and True Martial Arts Ivo: 1/50000]

Are you kidding me?!

Chen Sheng’s pupils shrank.

This new skill,

Just for the first level, the required proficiency was actually more than the total of the three levels of the Eagle Body Breathing Technique..
