Chapter 755: Fierce Flood!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Inside the main warehouse at the bottom level of the underground fortress, Bai Wulei looked at debris, remains, and the rusted scraps of magical equipment that had been piled up like a hill, dumbfounded .
Powerful crystal suits of the Star Ocean Imperium appeared to be hanging on the sixty shelves that were dozens of meters high . However, with the slightest touch, all the crystal suits crumbled into crazily flying iron dust as if they were made of sand .
Bai Wulei coughed heavily because of the stimulation of the iron dust . He coughed while he bellowed, "It's impossible! How could there be only such a pile of garbage? The old man said that magical equipment that could equip tens of thousands of Cultivators was hidden in his place!"
He rushed crazily inside the warehouse madly and explored the weapons and magical equipment one area after another . It was a pity that his finger seemed to be blessed with a destructive ability all of a suddenly . All the weapons and magical equipment he touched were shattered and collapsed into debris .
"How can this be?" Bai Wulei was about to cry . He gnashed his teeth and said, "It's unreasonable . The old man already presented countless techniques and magical equipment he took from the underground fortress in order to boost morale . At that time, I asked him what about ourselves when we were offering so many secret treasures to other people .
"In the end, the old man burst into laughter and declared that what he had taken out was only one tenth of all the treasures . The real good items were still below the ground!
"How is it possible?
"There must be something wrong . There must be another warehouse . There must be!"
Bai Wulei waved a seemingly glamorous flying sword . But after one slash, it broken into more than ten pieces, suggesting that it was more fragile than glass .
Fengyu Zhong, Master Hidden Fog, who was the previous leader of Black Spider Tower, and Dark Empyrean, who was the real 'Black King', all frowned and stared at the wall, deep in thought .
The spacious warehouse was wreathed in a vague black mist, as if streams of demonic aura were leaking in through the wall .
Fengyu Zhong asked respectfully, "Black King, what do you think?"
Since Dark Empyreal had launched an attack in the Nascent Soul Stage toward Bai Xinghe in front of everybody, there was little point in him concealing his identity any longer . Getting rid of the low profile as one of the 'Eight Blades of Black Spider', he stood confidently, surrounded by a daunting, decisive aura . He replied calmly, "It appears that we have all been fooled by Bai Xinghe . The old, cunning Pirate Potentate was merely bluffing .
"There are not as many secret treasures of the Star Ocean Imperium as he claimed . Even if there were, most of the magical equipment and the weapons would already be rusted and damaged .
"Those he brought to the surface were just about everything . That old fox!
"However…"
Dark Empyrean, the Black King, narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "It suddenly occurs to me that, although most of the weapons and magical equipment on our way here are seriously damaged, there are a great number of war assets, especially high-purity crystals such as the Thunder Stones and the Sunlight Stones . Their volume seems to far exceed the need of a regular war . "
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when the color of his face changed abruptly . He drew a rune quickly and held it in his palm while he murmured a spell . Then he opened his hands suddenly!
A black bug immediately flew out of his hands and flew far away in a streak of blackness .
A moment later, Fengyu Zhong's nose flapped as he sniffed the air . He observed with a solemn face, "Something is indeed not right . The moisture of the air has increased all of a sudden . The spiritual energy of the water class is very active right now!"
"Not good!" Dark Empyrean seemed to have sensed something . His face turned extremely pale as he shouted loudly, "Hurry and leave!"
…
The middle level and the upper level of the underground fortress had changed entirely .
Over the past ten thousand years, the multiple earthquakes, especially the super earthquake affected by the apocalypse five thousand years ago, had already riddled the fortress with holes everywhere .
The traps that Yan Xinjian had devised neatly, through a few insignificant explosions, altered the route of the Nether River precisely, turning the Nether River into a raging dragon that invaded the fortress . The hair, claws, and teeth of the dragon were running into the fortress through the countless fractures on the top half of the fortress!
In a moment, the underground fortress turned into a swamp!
The unstoppable flood was roaring in every pathway like ferocious beasts, smashing everything in its way .
Countless space pirates were consumed by the flood before they realized what was going on . They were bashed into the wall hard by the rushing torrent . Despite the protection of their crystal suits, they were vomiting blood with their internal organs torn apart .
The flood alone was not terrifying, but most of the warehouses inside the underground fortress were packed with high-purity crystals such as the Thunder Stone and the Sunlight Stone .
Those extremely unstable crystals did not even need to meet water directly to explode . As long as the moisture of the air increased to a certain level and the spiritual energy of the water class in the air was active enough, they would detonate instantly!
As a result—
Explosions were taking place everywhere inside the underground fortress . Countless warehouses and pathways collapsed before they were swallowed by the flood . The space pirates and the Immortal Cultivators inside were buried and suppressed by the fireballs and billions of rocks that were cascading down on their heads without even having the opportunity to scream .
For the areas that were not affected by the explosions of the Thunder Stones and the Sunlight Stones, when they were drowned by the flood, the eccentric beasts living inside the Nether River crawled into the fortress along with the currents .
