After discussing it, Yin Ming and Feng Yan agreed that the Blackwater would rise and fall because the upstream of this body of water was connected to the outside rivers. They thought they might be able to get out from there, so the two of them went straight up along the edge of the water to find the source.
However, the ideal was far from reality. When the two finally found the source, they discovered that a large, gilded gate had been built at the entrance to the water.
Since the entrance is blocked, the rising tide can only come from the underwater currents.
This is problematic; if they want to leave this place through the underwater passage, they will inevitably have to go into the water.
But there's another monster lurking underwater, watching intently...
Yin Ming sighed; it seemed this method wouldn't work.
The two had no choice but to return to the entrance and think of other solutions.
Time passed second by second, and the black water was almost up to their feet.
You can vaguely sense something enormous lurking underwater, stirring the water back and forth and making a gurgling sound.
It seems that the monster is already eager to taste these few 'food'.
Yin Ming gritted his teeth; he had to make a decision quickly.
Since we are helpless against the rising black tide and cannot avoid it, rather than waiting until we sink into the water to fight the monster and lose the initiative and become passive, we should fight with all our might now and take advantage of the fact that the monster cannot go ashore to find an opportunity to kill it!
Yin Ming took out several bottles of amplification potions and drank them, then summoned another magic sword from his spatial ring—a high-grade Saint-level sword, Falling Star.
That was exactly what Yin Ming took from Duan Jiang's tomb.
Feng Yan stared at the sword, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. Yin Ming didn't have time to explain much to him right now, and only told him to hold the Crimson Flame and hide to the side, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Yin Ming leaped onto a rock protruding from the water, his spiritual energy covering his eyes as he desperately searched for the monster's location.
At this moment, the water not far away swelled up in a considerable arc and rapidly rushed towards Yin Ming's location.
Without the slightest hesitation, Yin Ming jumped onto another rock ten meters away.
The next second, the monster smashed the rocks within a few meters of where he had been standing into pieces.
The monster's movements were inevitably momentarily slowed when it hit the rock. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin Ming quickly poured spiritual power into the Falling Star Sword and hurled it fiercely towards the monster's location.
The blow struck, and the monster roared in pain.
With his vision obstructed by the black water, Yin Ming couldn't see the monster's condition, but with the Falling Star as an anchor point, he immediately used his spiritual power to conjure several light blades, all of which smashed towards the monster at the bottom of the water.
The monster was finally enraged and leaped out of the water.
Its entire body was pitch black, but its enormous tail flashed with light and slammed down on the spot where Yin Ming was.
The commotion was so great that the entire cave shook.
Yin Ming dodged in time, and when he looked back at the area that had been violently destroyed, he felt a wave of fear.
The monster seemed to be far stronger than he had imagined, but now that things had come to this, there was no turning back.
Yin Ming used his spiritual power to create a rope and, seizing the opportunity, summoned back the Falling Star that was stuck in the monster's body.
When the magic sword was drawn, it also drew out its black blood.
But the black blood unexpectedly shimmered with golden light.
Yin Ming felt a jolt in his heart. This monster actually had the cultivation of the ninth realm! No wonder the attack just now didn't cause it any deep wounds!
The original work clearly states that cultivators or magical beasts above the ninth realm will have their blood and even bones emit golden light.
If this monster is so powerful, why does it only use savage fighting methods such as ramming with its body and sweeping with its tail?
Of course, Yin Ming was very glad at this moment that it only knew these simple and crude combat techniques.
Otherwise, the opponent could kill Yin Ming with just one skill.
The monster missed its target and sank back underwater, surprisingly making no further moves, leaving the surface of the water completely calm.
Yin Ming didn't think it would let him off so easily; it probably just wanted to wait for Yin Ming to lower his guard before launching an attack.
Staying in that area would only make things more dangerous, so Yin Ming had no choice but to retreat to the entrance and wait for the next opportunity to attack.
The water level had risen considerably, and there was no longer any foothold on the ground.
Feng Yan was helping Ling Yao stand on a boulder. Yin Ming and he exchanged a glance, both of them showing the same worry.
After a long pause, Feng Yan spoke first, "If I'm not mistaken, that monster just now should be a Ninth Realm Demon Beast, the Northern Darkness Divine Kun."
Reminded by him, Yin Ming carefully recalled the glimpse he had just caught of the monster's full appearance, and it did indeed look extremely similar to the Northern Sea Divine Kun in his memory.
However, the Northern Sea Divine Kun has always been gentle in nature, and its skin should be entirely blue.
Furthermore, the Northern Sea Divine Kun is a magical beast imbued with spiritual power, and the resentment emanating from that monster is far more than just a little bit.
Could it be the result of being corroded and transformed by this pool of black water?
Yin Ming looked suspiciously at the black water that was about to overflow the stones at his feet. How exactly was this pool of water formed?
Is it really this that caused a Ninth Realm Northern Darkness Divine Kun to fall into such a state of irrationality, savagery, and bloodlust?
Yin Ming suddenly remembered Long Cheng, who evolved into a dragon of resentment in the original work.
It turns out that the transformation of spiritual energy into a demonic beast is such a terrifying and painful thing. Some deformed beauty is indeed extremely cruel to its original form.
"Watch out!" Feng Yan's exclamation suddenly rang out.
Yin Ming also sensed the danger and instinctively rolled to the ground.
Looking back, he saw that the Northern Sea Divine Kun had quietly crept up behind him, its huge mouth wide open, seemingly intending to swallow Yin Ming whole.
