Martial Peak

The swamp’s water was so murky that no sunlight could penetrate into its depths.

As they descended, Shui Ling used her water manipulation abilities to create a clear bubble of air around them so Yang Kai didn’t feel smothered or breathless.

Using their Divine Senses, they could easily examine their surroundings.

Sinking down for quite some time, Yang Kai realized that the young woman from Bold Independent Union wasn’t mistaken, this swamp really was more than a thousand meters deep.

Only someone like Shui Ling who possessed the Water Spirit Body could freely access this place, anyone else, even if they cultivated a Water Attribute Secret Art, would probably suffer a massive drop in mobility.

After reaching a certain depth, Yang Kai began to feel the surrounding temperature drop and the further they went the colder it became.

It wasn’t long before Shui Ling couldn’t bear it and her teeth began chattering. Seeing this, Yang Kai quickly released some of his True Yang Yuan Qi and immediately dispelled the surrounding chill.

“I was right to bring you along,” Shui Ling chuckled, Yang Kai’s control over his True Qi had reached a very profound level. If she had instead brought along the self-recommended man from Bold Independent Union, Shui Ling was quite certain him releasing his Flame Attribute True Qi would conflict with her water manipulation technique.

Yang Kai, on the other hand was different, he could easily dispel the Cold Qi around them while not damaging the bubble she had created to protect them.

Below them, through the murky water, a glimmer of light came into sight, like a cluster of white flames that swayed in the wind.

However, there was still a fair distance between them and the source of this illumination and a thick ice barrier was blocking their way, making it difficult for Yang Kai to get a clear picture of what was glowing.

“The flickering white flames are the grains of Ice Flame Star Sand; the Scarlet Blood Orchid is hiding further beneath them,” Shui Ling explained, “This ice is a couple dozen meters thick, can you break it open quietly?”

Yang Kai nodded gently, “I can try.”

Saying so, Yang Kai exited Shui Ling’s air bubble.

After leaping out of the bubble, Yang Kai suddenly felt stiff, like a great mountain was pressing down on him, causing his bones to creak.

Without the protection of Shui Ling barrier, Yang Kai had to resist the surrounding water pressure all on his own.

“If it’s too difficult you don’t have to force yourself,” Shui Ling urged.

Yang Kai nodded once before closing his eyes. After taking a moment to adapt to the huge water pressure, he slowly began.

From the palm of his hand, True Yang Yuan Qi burst out and like a sharp blade, it sliced deep into the ice layer in front of him, melting it away at a rapid pace.

As he pushed his True Qi fiercely, Yang Kai bore through the thick ice like as easily as smashing a piece of rotten wood.

Shui Ling brought her bubble and quickly followed behind Yang Kai.
