Chapter 657 - 424: Extraterrestrial Crystal Cluster_2

Sponsored

Wang Ye is the first person in the world to reach this depth without a manned submersible, and he possesses a highly sensitive set of five senses to perceive his surroundings, far more precise than the high-tech detectors humans can bring down, so he is bound to see much more than anyone else who comes here.

After identifying his target, he continued to increase his swimming speed, heading toward the Central Peak.

Wang Ye estimated the height of the Central Peak to be about twelve hundred meters, likely composed of mantle layer rock from the impact rebound, covered with high-pressure mineral impact quartz and coesite.

After several minutes, Wang Ye finally reached the position of the Central Peak, where the concentration of Primordial Qi had reached a level that even made Wang Ye a bit apprehensive.

This feeling was like staying in a high-altitude area for months and then suddenly returning to an oxygen-rich low-altitude area, with oxygen rushing into his trachea,

Now Wang Ye was experiencing this, with abundant Primordial Qi constantly pouring into his body.

Wang Ye even wondered if humans could withstand the high pressure of the seabed and lived here, within a few decades they could become Inner Power Grandmasters, with physical qualities comparable to athletes at the human limit. No wonder this area could nurture sea monsters like the Mutated Megalodon.

However, Wang Ye was a bit puzzled,

this meteor impact crater has existed for no less than millions of years.

Why in these millions of years was only one Mutated Megalodon born in this sea area?

Wouldn’t other microorganisms or deep-sea fish evolve in such an environment?

With this question, Wang Ye reached the top of the Central Peak,

At the very top of the Central Peak, there was a bottomless rift continuously spewing forth rust-colored surges, resembling a volcano, as if it would erupt with lava at any moment, and inside, a faintly strange indigo glow emanated, particularly eye-catching in the dim seabed.

Wang Ye touched it with his palm, sensing the temperature at about three hundred degrees Celsius, which wouldn’t harm him; this temperature should be from the mantle layer’s magma, with nothing special about it.

As he delved deeper, the surrounding temperature also became increasingly higher.

Wang Ye even felt like he was swimming in magma.

Finally, after covering some distance, he felt himself touch a hard object, and simultaneously, the surrounding Primordial Qi concentration peaked.

This clearly meant he had found the right direction.

With joy in his heart, Wang Ye immediately used his hand to carve through the hard object.

Crack!!

It was as if he had suddenly emerged from the seawater, Wang Ye felt himself breathing incredibly fresh air,

but on second thought, his lungs should have long since ceased, and he should have lost the ability to breathe.

How could he be breathing in fresh air?

Wang Ye opened his eyes, looking at this irregular space shrouded in a dense indigo mist,

suddenly realizing, that the so-called "fresh air" was just extremely pure Primordial Qi.

"So this is the interior of the meteor crater..." Wang Ye said with astonishment showing on his face.

Most meteorites, after impact, will melt into liquid, forming a "melt shell". Smaller meteorites may completely melt, while larger ones may partially melt, eventually shattering into debris, hard to discern.

Even any unmelted portion, long exposed to surface environments, will be weathered and gradually turn into dregs. These dregs are then buried below the meteor crater.

So most of the time, you can only see the crater but no meteorite in meteorite craters. But that doesn’t mean that the meteorite has completely disappeared. Most of the materials composing the meteorite can still be detected in the meteorite crater. Some craters have detected abnormal chemical components and organic materials.

Wang Ye waved to disperse the indigo mist.

Immediately, fractal tree veins emerged around, silver-gray crystal clusters exposed to the outside, reacting with seawater, releasing a large amount of indigo mist,

It was like pork being put into concentrated sulfuric acid, with the silver-gray crystal clusters being slowly corroded and decomposed into indigo mist, but the decomposition speed was exceptionally slow, maybe only a cubic millimeter could be corroded in a hundred years, even Wang Ye found it hard to observe this thing being corroded.

So through these millions of years, only this small irregular space was eroded by seawater.

The indigo glow concentration surrounding was the product of this chemical reaction, a special wavelength Wang Ye had never seen before.

He realized, this was probably the source of the high concentration Primordial Qi in this sea area.

"This material can actually decompose such an enormous amount of Primordial Qi," Wang Ye pondered.

Even decomposing a tiny part could fill the entire sea area with Primordial Qi,

even nurturing a creature like the Mutated Megalodon.

This thing is undoubtedly a highly energetic material.

Wang Ye had no doubt if he tried to swallow it, his body would instantly explode.

Visually, the crystal cluster vein in this area could fill an entire warehouse, and if Wang Ye excavated all these veins onto land, his future evolution would absolutely progress smoothly.

Not to mention the value the material itself could bring, just the Primordial Qi generated from its chemical reactions with seawater could accelerate Wang Ye’s cultivation speed severalfold.

"Is this extraterrestrial material..."

Wang Ye stepped forward, his right arm instantly covered in Black Scale, becoming formidable and burly, his grip strength doubling in an instant. He tried to wrench the silver-gray crystal cluster in front of him with Black Dragon Claw. But he didn’t know how many times harder this thing was than diamond. Even with all his might, he couldn’t budge the silver-gray crystal cluster a bit.

After realizing this, Wang Ye was even more shocked because although his strength wasn’t his dominant trait, his grip strength exceeded a hundred tons after deploying Black Dragon Form. Crushing diamonds was no problem.

And now, using all his strength, he couldn’t break off this crystal cluster.

However, Wang Ye had expected this to some extent.

Millions of years of time could only corrode such a small space.

With his strength, how could he easily shake this silver-gray crystal cluster?

Next, Wang Ye continued to try other methods to move the crystal cluster.

His first thought was the Earth Manipulation Ability,

this ability is a trait derived from the Earth Escape Skill.

The majority of soil and rocks on Earth could be used by him.

The crystal cluster in front looked like a kind of ore.

He wondered if it could be controlled by him.

With a thought, Wang Ye’s mind instantly enveloped the silver-gray crystal cluster vein in front.

But it seemed something blocked his mind from entering, and no matter what, he couldn’t control this crystal cluster.

Next, Wang Ye continued to test various methods, like Throwing, bombing, etc.

But the crystal cluster still stood firm,

as if no method could affect it.

Wang Ye couldn’t help but feel troubled.

Unable to take this crystal cluster, how could he do scientific research with it?

Could it be he needed to make a lab here to analyze it?

Just as Wang Ye was pondering, he suddenly discovered many crystal cluster fragments scattered in a corner, their presence there for unknown reasons, Wang Ye estimated they might have fallen due to some geological activity like an earthquake. Though each fragment was only a few millimeters long and wide, for now, he had to collect these fragments to take back.

Picking up these fragments, Wang Ye clearly felt during the collection process, the fragments releasing a searing high-energy material upon contact with his skin,

causing slight burns on his palms. But Wang Ye didn’t care about such minor injuries.

After collecting the fragments, Wang Ye left this space, excavated some rock samples from the meteor crater to take with him, and prepared to return to the land.

With eleven kilometers left, Wang Ye didn’t intend to swim up by himself,

he instead summoned the Mutated Megalodon from earlier controlled by Mind Control,

planning to ride it upwards.
