Chapter 138: Pursuit and the Mysterious Cave

  The vast and endless sea is like a desert, it's easy to get lost in it. Li Yuanba looked up at the sky, which was gray and hazy, making it even harder to see anything!

  He easily and arbitrarily chose a direction, Li Yuanba flew at high speed for a period of time, and in the vast ocean, he actually arrived at the Bermuda that even later generations would hear about with trepidation!

  Nowadays, Li Yuanba is even more agile in the absence of all skills. Take flying for example, without the Treading Heaven skill, his body's energy circulation is as he wishes, moving freely and randomly, no longer limited to straightforward movements like before. Wherever his eyes gaze, everything becomes an instant matter. Li Yuanba's current flight is quite interesting, he won't say rely on teleportation-like speed to advance, but rather like a fighter jet swooping low over the sea surface, creating massive flying trails, breaking waves and clearing the air!

  There's something mysterious about Bermuda, with many inexplicable events happening in the future. Even time-related incidents have occurred here, like a tunnel through space-time that defies comprehension!

  Li Yuanba's momentum was surging, accelerating the energy within his body to an unprecedented level. The massive sonic boom and air pressure generated by his movement created a colossal tsunami, as if a gigantic monster was stirring up the ocean. Even some sea creatures that poked their heads out of the water along his flight path were bewildered and inadvertently sucked into the depths of hell!

  Li Yuanba saw an island in the sea, and strangely, that distant island was moving irregularly like a living creature. Li Yuanba suddenly appeared on the island, but when he got here, he was a bit stunned. Under his feet was a group of extremely fast-moving whirlpools, where was there any trace of the island?!

  Li Yuanba was perplexed. He wanted to leave the sea area, but suddenly felt that the space around him seemed to slow down, as if time had been frozen in a strange way!

  "Huh? What's going on? Open it up for me!" Li Yuanba pointed impatiently at the bottom of the sea, and with a flicker of his mind, the seabed seemed to be forcibly torn apart by an invisible giant hand, revealing the seafloor within a thousand-meter radius before Li Yuanba's eyes!

  It's said to be the seabed, but not quite. A massive black hole appeared in front of Li Yuanba, with a mouth-like opening that slanted outward like a giant beast. The small openings around it were countless! And their edges almost all shone with a metallic luster, a dark and ominous aura spreading throughout the space! The accumulated water inside the cave was rapidly decreasing at a visible rate, flowing towards unknown spaces. Even some of the larger openings intermittently spewed out large amounts of seawater in different colors, even misty air waves carrying scorching temperatures!

  Li Yuanba, out of curiosity, didn't leave either. He landed heavily on a seemingly flat open space. Who knew that before he could even stand firm, the ground began to shake violently. A large amount of ice crystals shot out, colliding with the scorching hot air waves, forming a massive explosion. The impact zone was unknown, stretching for tens of thousands of miles! The space Li Yuanba opened up suddenly formed a whirlpool-like airflow, its power so great that it sent Li Yuanba spinning several times without any defense, his clothes instantly torn to shreds, and even his long hair was tangled around his body in a whirlpool shape!

  "What's going on?" Li Yuanba was confused.

  Just as Li Yuanba was stunned, two huge lantern-like eyes appeared in the dark hole, clearly showing emotional fluctuations that only intelligent creatures would have, astonishment, surprise and fear!

  "Is that a dragon?" Li Yuanba saw the giant beast hidden in the dark cave, its features almost identical to those of the divine dragon in myths and legends, except for the fact that the monster's mouth seemed sharper. Li Yuanba smoothed out his disheveled hair, and with a flicker of thought, his body was enveloped in flames as he donned his Flame Battle Armor, and the twin hammers in his hand were at the ready!

  The dragon's eyes doubled in fear, instantly shrinking back into the black hole, disappearing without a trace!

  "Don't run!" Li Yuanba bellowed, charging into the black hole with his twin hammers at the ready, and in the blink of an eye, he vanished from sight!

  However, what made Li Yuanba depressed was that this guy ran too fast! Li Yuanba formed a huge human-shaped space within three feet of his body, and his running speed could be said to be very impressive. But the cave inside was winding and tortuous, even if he only saw it for an instant, he could only chase after the other's butt, dead tired. Looking at the slippery and unbelievable giant snake-like tail that appeared and disappeared from time to time, Li Yuanba kept thinking that he was not chasing a dragon, but a four-legged snake from his childhood memories...

  Li Yuanba's armor flames were unconsciously dispelled, leaving only the illuminating function, and the illusory flames that stretched for hundreds of meters illuminated the seafloor like a fantasy. Various strange creatures were frightened by him and fled in all directions! If there weren't any brave ones blocking his way, Li Yuanba would have charged forward recklessly, leaving a trail of destruction wherever he went. The flesh and blood of various creatures flew everywhere, and even those hundreds of meters away from him were crushed by the inertial wind pressure brought about by his extreme speed. Even the rock walls inside the underwater cave were in danger of collapsing!

  That beast that escaped with its life couldn't understand why the monster that was unscathed in the terrifying collision was chasing it, and even Li Yuanba didn't know why he was chasing. If you say it's because of the dragon, then before this, Li Yuanba had already killed a beast similar to the Chinese Divine Dragon, and as for this beast that only saw its head, Li Yuanba hadn't intended to chase it at all, but he still did, and the reason is that Li Yuanba was confused at the time, chasing this beast was just subconscious, without any thought.

  One fleeing and one chasing, Li Yuanba unknowingly arrived at a vast underwater cave. As soon as Li Yuanba entered this place, he felt a chill run down his spine as a cold aura swept over him.

  This underwater cave was like a huge square room, filled with giant shell-like creatures, and everywhere there were massive stone pillars of varying heights. In the center, there was a large platform similar to an altar, empty and bare. Li Yuanba landed directly on it, feeling tiny as an ant! He had no idea how vast this cave was, and when he looked up, he couldn't see the top; all around him was darkness. The beast chasing him also seemed to have vanished into thin air in this situation. Li Yuanba's attention was completely absorbed by the eerie atmosphere, and he lost interest in the beast.

  Walking freely on the eerie platform, Li Yuanba slowly walked to the central position of the platform and found that a hundred-meter-sized cave appeared in this place. Standing at the edge and looking down, ten meters below was flowing magma rapidly surging in specific grooves, each groove connecting, under the reflection of the magma, naturally forming an eerie character - Sacrifice! This sacrifice character was very strange, not the text Li Yuanba recognized, but as long as someone saw it, they would naturally understand the eerie text formed by the magma. Three meters above this character, a mysterious force blocked the seawater outside, creating a spectacle of water and fire coexisting.

  What's most astonishing is not the above situation, but that the bottom of the cave formed by the scorching hot magma is constantly emitting a chilling coldness that directly affects the soul, completely defying normal natural laws!

  Li Yuanba looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that something on his body was being sucked into the strange font. Li Yuanba took a few steps back in shock.

  There's a saying that everyone knows, it's the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is inevitable! Li Yuanba's soul crossed into this world, from the bottom of his heart he believed in the existence of souls, otherwise how could his situation be explained? Moreover, within his spiritual sea, there was also the so-called divine spiritual power of this world. Although apart from this, Li Yuanba had never seen other vengeful spirits or supernatural events.

  Li Yuanba's karma was so massive that even the so-called saints couldn't bear it, and yet he didn't have a clear sense of what this karma was all about. In this eerie underground place where strange things were happening everywhere, Li Yuanba finally had the chance to see with his own eyes just how much heavenly karma he had borne.

  Only to see Li Yuanba retreat a few steps, after leaving the edge of the cave entrance, the magma at the bottom of the earth suddenly became violent. This violence was strange, as if the words on the paper were infinitely stretched, becoming three-dimensional words that extended from the paper into the air, and then aligned with Li Yuanba's head, those strange words were forcibly flipped over by an inexplicable force, forming a huge font in front of Li Yuanba's incredulous eyes - Sacrifice!
