The two of them galloped all the way and finally succeeded in getting rid of the big monsters hiding in the grass and jungle. When they arrived at the Dragon Pond, panting, they were shocked by the scene before them.
A massive vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the previously tranquil Huanlong Pond. From time to time, a dazzling light flickered within it, as if some mysterious power were awakening. A piercing, earth-shattering ray of light gushed out from the vortex's center, reaching straight into the horizon. Through the radiant light, one could faintly discern a majestic and imposing portal deep within the vortex.
At this moment, the portal seemed to have opened slightly, revealing a narrow gap. As if summoned by some kind of force, countless fish in the Dragon Pond swam desperately towards the whirlpool, trying to squeeze through the portal. Among them were even several enormous dragon-like creatures, eager to pass through the portal. Unfortunately, every time they approached, they were mercilessly flung back by the rosy glow, leaving their bodies covered in hideous wounds.
Su Rui widened his eyes, staring at the portal in the vortex, and secretly confirmed in his heart: The door to the fairy palace has indeed been opened!
However, just as he was about to jump into the whirlpool and leave the fairy palace, the figure of Ao Ying suddenly appeared in his mind - the partner who had escaped from the Dragon Pond with him, and an inexplicable hesitation surged in his heart.
Guo Yiming noticed Su Rui's abnormality, grabbed his arm, pulled hard, and jumped into the whirlpool in the Dragon Pond without hesitation.
"We can't wait any longer! If we miss the deadline, we won't be able to get out!" Guo Yiming shouted loudly, his voice echoing in the air. Su Rui was pulled forward by him, and his body flew forward involuntarily...
Just as the two figures were shrinking rapidly and were about to be swallowed by the whirlpool, Su Rui caught a glimpse of Ao Ying rushing towards the whirlpool without hesitation. The worry in his heart disappeared, and his figure disappeared into the rays of light emitted by the whirlpool like lightning.
Su Rui felt as if he had traveled through a time tunnel. During the process of falling, all he could hear were dazzling and nauseating streams of light flying by rapidly around him, and the only sound in his ears was the whistling wind. He could not hear any other sounds.
After the light faded and his five senses gradually returned to normal, Su Rui was surprised to find himself in the depths of the dark and profound ocean. At this moment, the surroundings were as dark as ink, but this was no problem for Su Rui, who had already activated the "Mori Golden Light Pupil".
Guo Yiming, about ten feet away, had already created a waterless space that fit snugly around his body, gesturing to Su Rui to follow him. In this endlessly dark underwater world, not only was the oxygen thin and the light dim, but the immense water pressure enveloped everything.
Su Rui felt a tightness in his chest, as if a thousand-pound weight was bearing down on him, making it nearly impossible to breathe. The immense pressure of the water from all directions was like a towering mountain, relentlessly squeezing his body. If he hadn't practiced the Five Elements Escape Technique, allowing him to breathe freely even underwater, he would have been crushed by now.
In this critical moment, Su Rui didn't dare to delay and immediately used the Water Escape Technique from the Five Elements Escape Technique. A faint water light appeared around him, and then quickly condensed into a thick water curtain, tightly wrapping him in it.
In an instant, the heart-pounding feeling of oppression suddenly dissipated, replaced by an unprecedented sense of ease and comfort.
Using the power of water escape, Su Rui swam swiftly and lightly towards Guo Yiming like a nimble deep-sea fish. As he approached, he saw clearly that Guo Yiming's ability to open up the waterless space was entirely due to the strange Taoist robe he wore. A mysterious silver rune shimmered on the robe, clearly working its magic.
However, when Su Rui saw Guo Yiming's pale face and unstable breathing, he immediately understood: it would probably consume a lot of true energy to drive such a treasure!
Just as he was about to reach out and grab Guo Yiming to escape the water together, something unexpected happened! A blazing flame suddenly ignited on the seabed not far away, instantly illuminating the entire dark and deep sea area as bright as day.
Following the light, Su Rui finally saw that someone had taken out a flag. The blazing flames erupted from its surface, gleaming with golden light and dazzling. However, when Su Rui saw the flames, his heart suddenly tightened. He quickly scanned his surroundings. He noticed that, despite the gathering of many humans and demons on the seabed, there was no sign of the Five Ghost Kings, which gave him a slight sigh of relief.
The banner held by that person was the iconic magic weapon of the Eastern Demon Cult's Five Ghost Heavenly Kings—the Demon Fire Golden Banner! This weapon, combining both offensive and defensive capabilities, was extremely rare even among righteous and evil sects. The "Taishang Dongshen Five Stars and Constellations Sun and Moon Chaotic Demonic Scripture," which Su Rui had studied, also contained instructions for refining it. Unfortunately, Su Rui lacked the necessary materials, and the refining method for the Demon Fire Golden Banner was too cruel and ruthless, so he had never been able to successfully refine it.
However, the person in front of him happened to have this treasure, so Su Rui decided to wait and see how the situation changed and find the right opportunity to seize it.
This Eastern Demon Cult member truly had ulterior motives! He lit up the seabed and immediately spotted a wolf demon hiding in the shadows, attempting to conceal the treasure. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of fire and sped towards the wolf demon.
The wolf demon, sensing something was amiss, turned and fled, but it was too late—it had no chance of escaping the flames of the Devil Fire Golden Pagoda. With a single blow, the wolf demon let out a shrill cry, its entire body engulfed in the blazing demonic fire, leaving it a charred corpse in the blink of an eye.
