Chapter 532 - 234: Golden Light
A roar thundered in his ears as vast stretches of the Great Abyss’s water, rich with terrifying Profound Nether Qi, churned into tsunami-like waves and surged into the distance.
Gazing down from high above, Qin Fang was struck by an unprecedented feeling of desolation and deathly stillness... If his willpower wasn’t so strong, he probably would have developed thalassophobia.
...And he had been alone in this environment for nearly two and a half years.
The massive fish, possibly a Kun, had already smashed back into the water and vanished, likely having swum far away.
Qin Fang could only suppress his shock and wait patiently for the waters below to calm.
’The secrets of the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm are probably even greater than I imagined.’
’Not only are there living things here, but they’re this terrifying...’
’And that meteor... for it to attract a creature this terrifying, it must be no ordinary object!’
’Good thing I didn’t act rashly earlier.’
’I’ll have to ask Master where this Heavenly Gang Secret Realm came from when I get back...’
Qin Fang thought to himself.
As the ripples below began to subside, he noted that the water in this Great Abyss was clearly much denser than normal water, which seemed to allow the waves to settle more quickly.
Just as Qin Fang was about to fly down, he suddenly saw the water begin to churn violently again!
Qin Fang froze...
’No way?’
’More?’
Without a moment’s hesitation, he turned and shot back up into the sky!
The Gang Wind was still present high in the sky, but it no longer posed much of a threat; his Abyss Water Armor was enough to block it.
The sudden new disturbance below, however, was the truly fatal threat!
He hadn’t forgotten the last time that great fish opened its maw to inhale; he had almost been sucked right in.
Facing such a creature, he was like an ant before the might of heaven!
With his current level of power, even ordinary natural disasters wouldn’t have left him in such a sorry state.
But this great fish was obviously different.
As these thoughts raced through his mind, he continued to fly higher.
Suddenly...
"AWOOONG!!!~~~"
A mournful, tremendous cry suddenly erupted.
The terrifying shockwave instantly slammed into Qin Fang like a giant, invisible hand.
With a series of loud CRACKS, his Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor shattered, layer after layer. It only barely held firm after the Seventh Layer was broken.
Even so, the force sent Qin Fang flying.
That wasn’t all. More importantly, Qin Fang felt an indescribable, scorching heat, as if the very air around him had ignited!
His face went pale. The shock had even damaged his internal organs, and a trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth.
He hastily circulated his True Essence as he turned his head in horror.
He saw the great fish, which had already submerged into the Great Abyss, suddenly surface again. It opened its massive mouth, and inside... Golden Light was raging!
It seemed to be in great pain, letting out piercing cries!
The sonic waves came one after another. Though Qin Fang was now four or five kilometers away, he was still being battered by the invisible palms of sound.
But it wasn’t just the sonic waves; there was also a scorching heat!
’It’s like a Divine Furnace is burning!’
’This heat... it’s coming from that Golden Light?!’
His expression changed drastically. He frantically circulated his True Essence to repair the Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor.
But against the sonic waves, the Nine-Layered Abyss Water Armor was as fragile as paper-mâché. For every layer he repaired, another was shattered. Qin Fang coughed up blood repeatedly, and cracks even began to appear on his body!
’Am I really going to be shaken to death by these sound waves?!’
Terrified, Qin Fang couldn’t afford to think. He just kept flying higher.
But after flying another six or seven kilometers, the Gang Wind above grew even more terrifying, with each gust tearing at his already battered body.
Qin Fang’s face was deathly pale. With his dark True Essence circulating frantically, he was forced to change direction. He stopped flying upward and instead shot sideways, trying to create distance.
But just the next moment...
WHOOSH!
Suddenly, the air seemed to thicken, and his body was pulled backward against his will!
Qin Fang’s expression changed drastically. He whipped his head around to look...
He saw the great fish, inhaling frantically once more.
The Golden Light in its mouth churned madly, like a miniature sun.
Like a fish caught in a whirlpool, Qin Fang was instantly being dragged toward the great fish’s mouth!

"Fuck..."
This time, even Qin Fang’s face drained of all color.
He struggled, frantically channeling his True Essence.
But he was in terrible shape. The sonic waves and the Gang Wind had consumed too much of his strength, leaving him powerless against the terrifying suction.
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH...
He was being pulled toward the fish’s mouth at a rate of hundreds of meters per second.
A gale erupted. With a single breath, the great fish was like a whale swallowing the sea, sucking in all the air and Primordial Power from dozens of kilometers around!
And unlike last time, it was clear this inhalation wouldn’t stop anytime soon.
Qin Fang was already cursing up a storm in his mind.
But things had already come to this. He clenched his jaw, turned around, and stopped struggling. ’Struggling is useless. It will only waste my True Essence and make things worse!’
He was in a desperate situation...
’Then my only choice is to fight for my life!’
He clenched his jaw, the will to live flaring in his eyes. He let his body fly even faster toward the fish’s mouth, but at the same time, his mind became preternaturally calm!
’The great fish is clearly not right. The Golden Light churning in its mouth means that the meteor-like thing it swallowed is fighting back.’
’It’s probably the source of that terrifying heat!’
’I don’t know why it’s acting up now, but it’s clearly causing the great fish immense pain. And yet, the fish is unwilling to let go of this object of Golden Light.’
