Chapter 1474: Chapter 711
The Super Abyssal Zone, the deepest area in the ocean’s vertical layers, mainly distributed in the core areas of trenches and fault canyons.
Here, there is extreme pressure that crushes everything, water temperatures infinitely close to freezing, and eternal darkness.
It can be described as the most terrifying region on Earth.
At this depth, the physical properties of seawater undergo another change.
Under ultra-high pressure of more than six hundred atmospheres, the gaps between water molecules are compressed to the extreme.
The seawater, originally highly fluid, now feels like dense glue when touched.
At the same time, buoyancy multiplies exponentially.
Fang Cheng can clearly feel that the speed of his descent is uncontrollably slowing down.
The surrounding seawater became too "hard."
Every swing of his arms is like cutting thick cowhide with a blunt instrument, with resistance beyond imagination.
Moreover, air and sound seem to lose their medium for transmission here.
The golden flame emitted by the Mixed Element True Domain refracts on the dense water, presenting a texture akin to solid crystal.
The surrounding environment fell into true silence.
No swimming fish schools, no vortex roars.
Even the dark currents impacting the golden air shield disappeared without a trace.
This extreme sensory deprivation is enough to destroy a normal person’s mental sanity within minutes, causing endless hallucinations, making it impossible to discern whether one is rising or falling.
However, Fang Cheng’s gaze did not waver in the slightest.
He felt the increasingly clear calling in his mind, and his legs trembled suddenly.
The True Qi in the Dantian surged along the meridians, erupting from his feet.
Boom!
The ink-thick seawater was forcibly stepped on to create a visibly white shockwave.
With the help of this violent recoil, Fang Cheng forcibly tore through the stagnant water like an axe cleaving chaos, accelerating downwards.
Seven thousand meters, eight thousand meters, nine thousand meters...
Even at such life-prohibitive depths, there are occasionally a few semi-transparent fish wandering at the edges.
Their skeletons are thin but extremely resilient. They adapt to this extreme environment with a unique internal pressure balance mechanism, becoming the "permanent residents" of the Super Abyssal Zone.
But today, this eternally unchanged Netherworld Waters welcomed a rude unexpected guest.
At this moment, Fang Cheng’s actions were no longer as swift and nimble as before.
At this depth, every breakthrough of a hundred meters downward is a brutal squeeze on the limits of the physical body.
The pressure is continually approaching a terrifying 1000 standard atmospheres.
The compressive force reaches up to a ton per square centimeter, enough to crush a main battle tank on land into junk metal in an instant.
The "Mixed Element True Domain" circle around Fang Cheng’s body, originally half a meter thick, was being compressed inward by the water currents as heavy as mountains.
The golden halo began to distort violently.
The originally blazing flames were compressed into a film thin as a cicada’s wing, tightly adhering to his skin.
The True Qi on the film flowed rapidly, emitting a "sizzling" sound like high-voltage electric arcs interweaving, counteracting the external pressure that seemed to crush even the Golden Body.
Fang Cheng’s expression turned somewhat grave.
He could clearly feel the enormous load on his entire skeleton.
Every muscle trembled at high frequency, resisting the harshest law of this marine domain.
Due to the unknown dangers still hidden below and the limited True Qi reserves in the Dantian, he had to save them as his trump card.
Fang Cheng was cautious, not fully expanding his Domain.
He chose the most extreme energy-saving method, using "Water Breathing" combined with physical strength, maintaining only a thin film on his body surface to counteract the deadly squeezing force around him.

The panel in front of him displayed a stream of notification messages flowing quickly like water.
Gurgle——
Suddenly, as the depth crossed a certain critical point, the previous almost stagnant water state was abruptly broken.
The surrounding dark currents became turbulent and chaotic again, and the pulling force of the vortices reappeared.
Fang Cheng did not resist this force. Instead, he sank with it, and his body’s downward speed suddenly increased.
The glue-like viscosity was instantly torn apart, bringing a blissful sense of release from bonds.
It was like successfully breaking through an insurmountable barrier.
And just at this time, that piece of seabed long silent for countless eons gradually unveiled its mysterious veil to him.
In the icy seawater, a warm current surged unexpectedly.
The flow was entangled with a faint sulfur smell, surging upward from below.
It was as if an active underwater volcano lay dormant at the bottom of the Abyss.
Fang Cheng steadied his center of gravity, lowered his eyes.
Looking through the dark waters downward, he saw the vague contours of the bottom landscape, with faint blue phosphorescence flickering here and there.
Thump.
A dull collision sound echoed far in the Abyss.
Fang Cheng’s feet finally penetrated through layers of dark currents, landing on the solid ground.
The volcanic ash and fragments of unknown creature bones underfoot were lifted by the massive impact, forming a cloud of murky dust, spreading outward in the golden light.
He finally succeeded in crossing over ten thousand meters in depth, reaching the bottom of the Changyuan Trench.
