Chapter 570: Chapter 257: Deep Within the Sea Abyss, the Beautiful Shell and the Conch

“…Grandfather once told me, a long time ago, centering on the Green Luminous Sea Abyss, including Qifeng Port, a vast sea area was the domain of the Mermaid’s Song.

The Sea Clan ruled everything in the water; even powerful human Wizards had to treat the Sea Clan with respect in the Mermaid’s Song.

However, one day, terrifying demons suddenly emerged from the depths of the Sea Abyss, the Mermaid’s Song was annihilated in a day, countless Sea Clan were slaughtered, and fresh blood stained the entire Sea Abyss green….”

Ronan blinked, he only just learned of this.

In Chuck’s account, the magic airship they were aboard swiftly sailed into the area of the Green Luminous Sea Abyss.

Traveling along the dark green sea surface, continuing forward until the sky turned completely black.

At night, the starry sky over the sea was exceptionally clear and bright, reflecting off the gently rippling, jade-like calm sea surface, giving a great sense of peace and tranquility.

A thin mist gradually rose from the sea surface, and the magic airship, glowing with a faint rune light, silently sailed through it.

Ronan stood at the bow, listening to the slight lapping of the waves against the sea surface, feeling as if he was passing through a long mist of time into ancient times.

He thought that right beneath him, in the depths of the sea, lay a huge and ancient Forgotten Country buried.

Ronan felt a touch of inexplicable emotion, imagining that in ancient times, under the same starlight and on the same sea, a prosperous and glorious civilization stood here, with mermaids gently brushing the waves and singing….

“Sir…”

A voice interrupted Ronan’s reverie, and he turned to see Chuck looking at him with bright eyes.

“May I go off the ship for a while?

Tonight is a full moon, and many interesting things will appear in the sea. If I’m lucky, perhaps I can catch a few things to present to you..”

Ronan thought for a moment, then casually opened the rune restriction outside the magic airship and let Chuck off the ship.

“Splash——”

Chuck leaped into the sea, and the splash he made was almost negligible.

Once in the sea, Chuck.

Onshore, Chuck seemed just like an ordinary, somewhat downtrodden fisherman, but once he entered the water, it was as if he was a completely different person.

He was so agile he seemed to become twenty years younger, with a special lung structure and gills on the sides of his cheeks that allowed him to breathe freely underwater. Ronan even noticed that Chuck’s movements in the water exploded with two to three times more strength than normal.

“Is this the Sea Clan bloodline?”

Initially, Ronan’s spiritual power followed Chuck but gradually spread towards the depths of the sea.

In stark contrast to the tranquil beauty above the sea, beneath the sea surface was a completely different scene.

No light could penetrate underwater; it was eerily quiet with rarely any fish. There seemed to be a special energy material in the sea that had a certain hindering and suppressive effect on a Wizard’s spiritual power.

Ronan stopped the airship, observing the sea surface, threads of white light flickering in his eyes, weaving an eye pattern on his forehead. He tried to use the [Eye of Truth] to probe the truths beneath the sea.

Under the detection of the [Eye of Truth], Ronan saw the sea filled with many strange black substances. The deeper it went, the more these black substances were, eventually becoming so densely packed like countless worms clustering together, giving an eerie and chilling feeling.

Ronan continually “gazed” deeper into the Sea Abyss, with the eye pattern on his forehead flickering white light, seemingly growing more intricate and lifelike over time.

At a certain moment.

“Buzz——”

The [Eye of Truth] suddenly broke through a certain boundary, and Ronan’s field of vision became suddenly “clear and vast.”

He seemed to see the outline of a vast yet blurry architectural complex, but before he could see clearly, a massive shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.

In a moment, Ronan felt a sudden and inexplicable terror and horror.

He staggered back two steps, instinctively covering his forehead with his hand. The white eye pattern representing the [Eye of Truth] shattered instantly, and some fine light fragments, along with fresh blood, flowed down through the gaps between his fingers.

“Hiss——”

Ronan took a deep breath, looking down at the sea surface, his gaze completely changed.

The legend Chuck talked about might be true. There might indeed be some extremely terrifying existence hidden beneath the Green Luminous Sea Abyss, which once caused the brilliant Sea Clan kingdom of Mermaid’s Song to fall overnight, and the lingering shadows have yet to dissipate.

The [Eye of Truth] happened to break through to the Second Rank of Magic Domain Resonance, with Master Level Proficiency exceeding a thousand points, and the skyrocketing power inadvertently let Ronan “glimpse” an immensely ancient and evil existence.

The feeling at that moment was somewhat familiar, recalling it in detail, it seemed very similar to the sight seen through the mutated World Stone coordinates, some otherworldly space.

Even Ronan’s soul was impacted to a certain extent, the nine spiritual power crystals in his mind all dimmed down.

He subsciously reached out to touch the mark of the World Stone coordinates on the back of his right hand, spending a long time to slowly calm his turbulent emotions.

“No wonder the Green Luminous Sea Abyss is regarded as a forbidden land by the Wizards of Qifeng Port, and ordinary people simply wouldn’t dare or wish to come, there truly are some unknown dangers here, even for a Level 3 Wizard like me, caution is necessary…”
