Moreover, when the strange man passed by him, he looked at him, and Lin Tianming's heart skipped a beat.

Did the mysterious man discover him in his spiritual state?

Although the strange man glanced at him, fortunately the other party did not seem to notice his presence. He just glanced at the surrounding situation casually and then continued to swim downstream.

Just when Lin Tianming, who was holding his breath, wanted to take a breath, he thought of Ye Qingxue and Lianghua still fighting below, and his heart rose to his throat again.

Although Lin Tianming knew that he was most likely no match for the strange man, he still followed him in order to protect Ye Qingxue and Lianghua from harm.

Ye Qingxue and Lianghua had not yet noticed the arrival of the strange man, and the two were still fighting each other for the sleeping orb.

[Shinto Domain Skill——Ice Pillar of Death! ]

As Ye Qingxue activated her Shinto domain skills, a terrifying ice pillar that tore through space descended, sweeping down with the power of the law of death that did not belong to Ye Qingxue's ice attribute ability.

"Qingxue actually has the ability to cultivate ice-attributed abilities to the extreme, and has the ability to touch the power of other laws and abilities!"

Lin Tianming was shocked when he saw this scene.

As expected, the higher the level of these goddess reborns, the more Shinto taboos they can unlock! If Ye Qingxue had not been reborn and developed normally, let alone the Shinto domain skills containing the power of death and extreme ice, it would be difficult to comprehend the Shinto domain skills of this attribute before becoming a god.

But now is not the time to lament Ye Qingxue's advantage of rebirth. Lin Tianming is also staring at the strange man closely.

The strange man's diving speed was not very fast, but Lin Tianming had a strong premonition that this guy also came for the sleeping orb.

It is estimated that the Crimson High Priest who suppressed the level before sneaked into the Sea King Festival just to find the sleeping orb.

Then offer it to the strange god man like the deep blue high priest.

It’s a pity that the Crimson High Priest met Lin Tianming and was killed by him before he could find the sleeping orb.

With Lin Tianming's undivided attention, Lianghua also fought back against Ye Qingxue's attack from the divine realm skills.

[Forbidden Spirit Control Technique - Night Parade of One Hundred Demons! 】

As Lianghua launched the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, her powerful soul force also condensed into vengeful spirits that exuded the power of the underworld and death.

Lin Tianming only took a quick glance and saw that there were more than a hundred vengeful spirits.

The "hundred" in the "hundred" ghosts parading at night is obviously a figurative reference and not a real number.

The vengeful spirits that continued to gather together let out terrifying undead screams and attacked Ye Qingxue in a ghostly manner.

The Death Sky Ice Pillar and the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons collided with each other, and the terrifying power that erupted was so great that even Lin Tianming felt great pressure.

But the strange man showed no fear at all. He simply ignored Ye Qingxue and Lianghua who were fighting, and dived slowly.

The clash of Shinto domain skills caused both Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, the two casters, to suffer considerable injuries.

But the strange man who passed straight through the center of the power of the Shinto realm skills was unharmed.

Ye Qingxue and Lianghua were knocked back by the opponent. They were both stunned when they saw someone passing between them.

But the next moment, when they saw the figure and face of the strange man clearly, they were both frightened and turned pale.

[It’s him! The strange god worshipped by the Deep Sea Church! ]

[How could he...how could he appear here? I remember that in my last life, when Ye Qingxue and I were fighting for the sleeping orb, this strange god never showed up at all! ]

Although Ye Qingxue died in the era of the gods' advent in her previous life, she also witnessed the terrifying gray sea power of the strange god man by chance.

In Ye Qingxue's memory, among the believers of the Deep Sea Church there were gods like her who wanted to offer treasures to this strange god, but were killed instantly by the strange god.

Seeing this evil god who even killed his own believers again in this life, it is impossible for Ye Qingxue not to be afraid when she recalls her previous life.

Not to mention Lianghua, who lived in the previous life to the era when the three ascended divine kingdoms were annihilated. She had also witnessed the horror of this strange man.

At this moment, Ye Qingxue and Lianghua were so frightened that they lost their fighting ability and didn't even have the courage to use their skills.

The strange man ignored Ye Qingxue and Lianghua. He walked past them and took the sleeping orb into his palm.

After staying for a moment, the strange man turned into a gray cloud of smoke and disappeared on the spot.

Lin Tianming was originally prepared to take action to stop the strange man from hurting Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, but when he saw the strange man just disappear like that, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It seems to be the same as before. As long as we don't provoke this guy like the followers of the strange god, he doesn't seem to have any interest in us humans..."

Muttering to himself, Lin Tianming glanced at Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, who were so frightened that they were paralyzed and dared not move, and quickly dived down and held them in his arms.

"Don't be afraid, that scary guy is gone!"

As Lin Tianming's words of comfort rang in their ears, Ye Qingxue and Lianghua were also brought back to their senses.

Thinking of the strange man who had made them feel extremely terrified just now, Ye Qingxue and Lianghua still felt a little scared.

"Brother Tianming, he...he is really gone?"

Ye Qingxue's question was exactly what Lianghua wanted to ask. She also looked at Lin Tianming with some shock.

"Well, let's go. Although we don't know why that guy doesn't want to hurt us, for safety's sake, we'd better return to the Sea King's barrier as soon as possible!"

"Well, I'll listen to Brother Tianming!"

"I will listen to you, Master Ming!"

Perhaps because they were frightened by the strange man just now, Ye Qingxue and Lianghua, who were originally in conflict, temporarily had no energy to continue fighting each other, and followed Lin Tianming to leave this strange and terrifying trench.

Just when Lin Tianming and the other two were about to swim out of the trench, strange sounds were heard again from the deepest part of the trench.

Everything around was shaking violently, and a strange and terrifying black fog was gushing out from the deepest part of the trench.

Seeing this horrifying scene, Lin Tianming immediately said, "Run, the faster the better!"

Ye Qingxue and Lianghua also nodded their little heads heavily, and accelerated upstream with Lin Tianming.

The moment he swam out of the trench, the gushing black mist turned into skinny black hands, which directly grabbed Lin Tianming's broken legs.

Oops!

While Lin Tianming was secretly thinking that something was wrong, his body was out of his control and was dragged directly to the deepest part of the trench by the terrifying black hand.

He tried to transform into a spirit to avoid the black hand's pull, but he found that he could not use any skills now.

"Brother Tianming!"

"Ming Jun!"

When Ye Qingxue and Lianghua saw Lin Tianming being caught, they tried to pull Lin Tianming back.

But he was still a step too slow. Lin Tianming's body was grabbed by more and more terrifying black hands, and was forcibly dragged into the deepest part of the trench at a speed that Ye Qingxue and Lianghua could not catch up with.

The terrifying black fog that was gushing out seemed to be satisfied with having successfully captured a prey, and it also retreated to the deepest part of the trench.

…

After waking up from the nightmare of being dragged into the deepest part of the trench by countless black hands, Lin Tianming discovered that he did not seem to be dead.

And they also came to an ancient city sleeping in the deepest part of the trench.

The grey deep sea enveloped everything, spreading a dormant power that made it impossible for people to wake up.

The doomed scene of this sleeping city under the sea shrouded in the gray sea reminded Lin Tianming of his previous experience in Shenwu City in Xiluo Domain.

The scene of the strange man obtaining the sleeping orb and looking at the deepest part of the trench flashed through Lin Tianming's mind, and he had a bold guess in his heart.

This place...could it be the lair of the strange man? (End of this chapter)
