Chapter 1475: Chapter 711-2
Even though the geothermal effect caused the water temperature at the bottom to rise slightly,
the suffocating water pressure remained undiminished.
If ordinary metal were exposed here, it would shatter instantly like fragile glass into countless fragments.
Without the protection of the most advanced detectors, humans cannot even imagine how to venture into this dark, deathly silent deep-sea world.
Fang Cheng straightened his back, bearing the weight of a mountain-like gravity on his shoulders.
Although the light membrane on his body surface was compressed to the extreme, it remained bright and radiant.
He slowly lifted his head, using the light radiating from his body to survey this isolated world before him.
To Fang Cheng’s surprise, this was not a flat desolate mud nor a rugged deep-sea fault.
Under the golden light, a grand scene capable of overturning all human history slowly unfolded in his mental perception and sight.
It was an endless expanse of massive architectural ruins.
The black-brown giant stones were neatly cut and arranged on the seabed, outlining broad streets, plazas, and collapsed but magnificent temples.
Looking into the distance, countless cylindrical stone pillars with diameters of several meters stood silently in the dark depths.
Although the carvings on the surface of the pillars had become mottled and indistinct due to millions of years of ocean erosion,
the bold and grand lines still exuded an ancient aura that compelled one to worship in admiration.
This was absolutely not a masterpiece of nature but the remains of an ancient city of unparalleled splendor.
Due to some unknown catastrophe, the entire city sank into this abyss of ten thousand meters that even the Gods have forgotten.
"The Professor was indeed right, it seems the purpose of the True Thought Society group is here..."
A wave of emotion surged within Fang Cheng, but his movements did not halt.
He walked through the spray, each step heavy, leaving a clear trail of footprints on the seabed.
The surrounding silt whirled violently as he moved, like a layer of gray mist clinging to the ground.
As he got closer, Fang Cheng noticed that at the corners of the streets were scattered giant skeletons of unknown creatures.
These skeletal structures were extremely special, with broad ribs and sharp dorsal spines.
As if some long-extinct prehistoric beasts had been perfectly preserved in this unique environment.
What was even more captivating was the dreamlike azure glow encircling the surface of these bones.
Light points scattered in the seawater, trailing a ribbon-like ethereal particle track.
"Ancient Relics!"
Fang Cheng’s eyes narrowed, he thought to himself.
The faint blue light points he had captured from above were exactly originating from here.
Seeing the glowing relics almost covering half the plaza, Fang Cheng couldn’t help but let a slight smile curve his lips.
This trip was truly worthwhile.
"With so many Ancient Relics, not only can I fill the void in my Dantian, but it might even be enough to further break through the Martial Arts bottleneck."
Fang Cheng whispered to himself, suppressing the excitement in his heart, refraining from rushing to pick up these bones.
Because compared to the relics on the ground, the source that called to him obviously concealed even greater secrets.
Fang Cheng’s gaze traversed the rows of awe-inspiring ruins.
A huge ring-shaped volcanic crater suddenly stood in the very center of the ancient city ruins.
The crater was hundreds of meters in diameter, with volcanic rocks around it displaying a smooth glassy texture, evidently having endured unimaginable high-temperature smelting.
Upon closer observation, one could find volcanic rocks continuously spewing "smoke."
However, strictly speaking, this wasn’t true smoke but a high-temperature mineral-laden fluid.
Due to volcanic activity, fissures appeared in the crust rock layers.
Cold seawater seeped through these cracks into the depths, heated to a boil by underground magma, then erupted out again, creating a unique deep-sea hot spring phenomenon.
Fang Cheng slightly bent his knees, forcefully pushing with his toes.
The powerful muscular strength instantly cut through the water.
His figure, like a bird skimming the sea surface, traced a smooth arc in the water, lightly landing on the crater’s edge.
Suspended from a high vantage point, Fang Cheng cast his gaze towards the bottom of the pit.
However, inside there wasn’t any dark red bubbling magma, nor any pile of sulfur minerals.
What unfolded before his eyes was an odd spectacle completely overturning common sense and transcending the world’s rules.
At the very center of the volcanic crater, the deep-sea water that should have remained stagnant displayed a distorted and chaotic phenomenon.
There was no whirlpool spinning there.
Yet the seawater within a thousand meters around was continuously converging towards the core along some invisible trajectory.
When the seawater touched the focal point, there were no bubbles nor agitation, it just vanished into thin air without a trace.
As if that point was connected to another bottomless black hole.
In the vicinity of this focal point, even the space itself seemed unable to bear some enormous tearing force.
Visually, that void was filled with densely packed, crisscrossed, semi-transparent lines.
It was as though a near-shattered mirror was barely being held together, hanging in midair.
Fang Cheng stood at the edge of the crater, observing it for a moment.
To explore its reality, his right hand formed a claw, gripping a protruding piece of black volcanic rock beside him like a steel hook.
Then, his arm muscles flexed, and his knuckle joints emitted crisp and neat sounds.
Crack.
A piece of volcanic rock the size of a fist was forcibly gouged out.
