Chapter 2183: The Fierce Battle Rages On!
This entrance is much deeper than Zhou Yu had imagined.
Zhou Yu descended approximately several miles, yet had not reached the bottom.
However, the Yin Sha Qi around him had changed dramatically.
Compared to the tranquility at the entrance, the Yin Sha Qi here was constantly churning.
Just like water being stirred.
Zhou Yu distinctly felt that something was off about the atmosphere around him.
Just as he was hesitating whether to continue descending.
Suddenly, thunderous roars, battle sounds, and even thunderous noises came from below.
Zhou Yu immediately stopped in place, then used the Eye of Destruction to look downward.
However, he found nothing.
But Zhou Yu had already sensed that he was nearing the battlefield.
At this moment, Zhou Yu fully activated the True Fire Escape Technique, completely concealing his aura.
Only then did he continue to descend.
This time, he soon landed on the ground.
Zhou Yu immediately looked around.
He discovered that this was actually an underground palace.
Compared to the vast hall above, this place was much more exquisite.
Surrounding him were vast areas of engravings, as well as many decorations resembling gemstones.
The ground was also paved with precious dark green stone.
Moreover, the concentration of Heaven and Earth Primordial Power here was at least ten times stronger than above.
There were also numerous Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass around.
It seemed that their ages exceeded a millennium, with some even being ten-thousand-year Spirit Grass.
Zhou Yu immediately prepared to step forward to pick them but suddenly squinted and stepped back.
No wonder Mrs. Mu and the others hadn’t touched these Spiritual Flowers and Spiritual Grass here.
Turns out they were protected by a Restriction.
If some methods were employed, it might be possible to forcibly break it.
But without knowing the situation inside, Zhou Yu didn’t act rashly.
Subsequently, Zhou Yu walked toward the depths of the palace.
He hadn’t gone far when his face froze.
He saw in front of him, outside the grand hall.
Inside a huge array barrier, an intense battle was breaking out.
The large Formation was filled with various Primordial Power and rolling Thunder.
Furthermore, the Barrier was shrouded in thick blood mist.
It seemed to be Shiva’s means.
At that moment, within the blood mist, a thick Thunder Light suddenly appeared.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, immediately recognizing it as Rhino Thunder!
Indeed, after Rhino Thunder escaped back, it encountered these people, which triggered a great battle.
"No..."
But in the next moment, Zhou Yu showed a look of surprise.
The Rhino Thunder before him looked extremely ferocious, and its body seemed unscathed.
Could it be that Rhino Thunder had recovered from its injuries on the way back?
This is impossible!
While Zhou Yu was in surprise, another terrifying Thunder appeared.
Zhou Yu’s pupils shrank sharply.
Another Rhino Thunder appeared.
And he recognized it at a glance; this Rhino Thunder was the one he had fought before.
Here, there are actually two Rhino Thunders?
Zhou Yu’s expression changed dramatically.
One Rhino Thunder is already troublesome enough; if Zhou Yu faced two alone, he would undoubtedly turn and flee.
However, for now, it seems that both Rhino Thunders are trapped within the Formation.
And this Formation...
Light flashed in Zhou Yu’s pupils.
It seemed to be Mrs. Mu’s handiwork.
Because this Formation was filled with a sense of Heavenly Spirit Wood.
Very similar to the Restriction aura at Mrs. Mu’s place with the Heavenly Spirit Wood.
It seems Mrs. Mu brought the Formation guarding the Heavenly Spirit Wood here and trapped these two Rhino Thunders.
Seeing the intense battle, Zhou Yu began to survey his surroundings.
Soon, his gaze locked onto a corner of the grand hall, where there was a pool of clear spring water.
This spring was only three feet square.
Inside was a small pool of gray liquid.
But amidst the gray liquid, some peculiar Spirit Light shimmered.
When Zhou Yu saw the gray liquid, his pupils shrank sharply.
"Nether Spring Essence?"
"Could this be the Nether Spring Essence?"
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s heart was filled with excitement.
Mrs. Mu and her group plotted for a thousand years, paying endless efforts, breaking into here all for this pool of gray liquid.
And now, he seemingly had it within reach.
This was practically a stroke of incredible luck.
Normally, anyone would seize the opportunity to stealthily approach, grab the Nether Spring Essence, and flee.
But Zhou Yu did not.
Not only did he not do so.
He even retreated a few steps, hiding behind a pillar in the grand hall, watching silently from afar.
Because he knew, there was someone else here.
Perhaps, that person was hiding here too, waiting to reap the benefits without doing any work.
If he acted now, he would most likely be discovered by that person, then fall into a significant crisis.
Therefore, before that hidden third party revealed themselves or before he had control over that person’s situation, Zhou Yu wouldn’t budge even if he was dead.
Of course, Zhou Yu was not idling blindly.
He hid behind the pillar, quietly using the Eye of Destruction to observe his surroundings.
Under his careful observation, he quickly noticed something unusual.
At the other end of the grand hall, behind a huge jade stone table.
Zhou Yu saw a faint trace of Blood Qi.
Although that Blood Qi was almost nonexistent and seemed just like the blood mist from the battle outside.
But Zhou Yu keenly noticed the difference within it.
That Blood Qi gave him a sense of familiarity.
Yet, he couldn’t remember where he had seen it before.
Nonetheless, he was certain that Blood Qi belonged to the hidden third party.
Who could it be?
Zhou Yu’s mind raced.
At the same time, he looked again at the Blood Qi.
And just then.
The Blood Qi suddenly moved, Zhou Yu reflexively withdrew the Eye of Destruction and concealed all his aura.
At this moment, Zhou Yu’s heart was racing.
"Such acute senses."
Unexpectedly, even though he had been so cautious.
The other party still sensed him.
However, fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the opponent might not have necessarily discovered him.
Also, one reason was that the opposite party needed to hide their aura too, not wanting to alert the Rhino Thunder or Mrs. Mu and the others outside.
Zhou Yu held back his aura, and after a long time, there was no movement from where the Blood Qi was located.
Making Zhou Yu slightly relieved.
Yet, right at this moment, the battle outside the hall suddenly changed.
In that large Formation, the blood mist suddenly surged violently, and a massive figure suddenly appeared.
As it appeared, its form rapidly expanded, growing to a hundred feet in the blink of an eye.
Moreover, atop that massive figure stood a person.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu’s pupils slightly contracted.
It was Ghost Master and his enormous Ghost Mastiff.
Judging by the looks, Ghost Master had no reservations now, fully exposing the complete power of his massive Ghost Mastiff...
