The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 31: Pure Water Pearl

The battle has not yet appeared much.

The treasure in the entire Tianjiao Ancient Battlefield is abundant, and just the first layer of the battlefield offers plenty of treasures that many people can obtain without needing to fight for them.

In the Pure Water, at least a thousand people are soaking.

This is a vast water pool, and the first target of Yue Hongling is the Pure Water.

She has no choice; her talent is the worst, and the effect of the Pure Water is decent. She can't afford to miss any opportunity to improve her talent.

Her real goal, however, is the Pure Water Pearl. The water here was originally just ordinary water, but due to the presence of the Pure Water Pearl at the bottom of the lake, the entire lake has transformed into Pure Water.

Her figure has already submerged into the depths of the lake.

Others are not foolish either, and they are all heading towards the depths.

However, the pressure at the bottom of the lake is immense.

It is like the deep sea.

The deeper they go, the more terrifying the pressure becomes, and the cultivators feel their bodies grow heavier, as if a massive mountain is pressing down on them.

When they reach one thousand meters deep, only a few are still able to dive further.

At one thousand five hundred meters, only three people continue to dive side by side.

At two thousand meters, their bodies can no longer withstand such a great pressure, causing blood to seep from their seven orifices.

Yue Hongling is fearless.

Another person gives up.

Now, only she and Shangguan Wuchang are still diving.

Shangguan Wuchang gazes at Yue Hongling with admiration. Such a woman is truly rare, and she might even have the qualifications to become one of his Dao companions.

"The journey is long, but I still don’t know the young lady's name. I am Shangguan Wuchang from the Supreme Divine Dynasty," Shangguan Wuchang says with a smile, transmitting his voice.

"I know you!" Yue Hongling transmits her voice as well.

"Oh?" Shangguan Wuchang's lips curl into a smile.

His name, as expected, is known by countless people.

"Phantom Spirit is your younger sister, right?" Yue Hongling asks.

"My little sister hasn't been out in the world, but you know her. Could it be that you're from the Supreme Divine Dynasty?" Shangguan Wuchang is somewhat surprised.

"No, how much further can you dive?" Yue Hongling asks.

"One thousand meters should be no problem," Shangguan Wuchang replies.

Yue Hongling nods, indicating that she understands, and suddenly throws a punch.

"Boom!"

The fist mark sends countless waves, violently smashing towards Shangguan Wuchang.

Shangguan Wuchang's expression changes, and a Fangtian Huaji (a polearm weapon) appears in his hand, shattering the fist mark with a single strike.

The force contained in the fist mark startles him.

"Fearless Seal!"

A large seal forms, carrying an even more powerful force as it smashes towards Shangguan Wuchang.

"Boom!"

Shangguan Wuchang feels a terrifying force coming toward him, and his body quickly rises.

"Such courage!" Shangguan Wuchang roars, holding the Fangtian Huaji as he charges at Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling meets him head-on with her bare hands, surrounded by flickering symbols and markings. With every punch and palm strike, the Fangtian Huaji collides with her, and not only does she not fall behind, but she also forces Shangguan Wuchang to retreat step by step.

What the hell!

Shangguan Wuchang feels a sense of horror.

In the Supreme Divine Dynasty, he is a top-tier genius, and though there are others who are more monstrous, there are at most only one or two.

Now, he encounters someone like this, and she possesses such strength?

"Get lost!"

Yue Hongling shouts loudly.

She forms a seal with both hands, and a near-solid seal condenses and violently smashes Shangguan Wuchang out.

The buoyancy increases.

The distance between them grows infinitely.

Now, Yue Hongling has no intention of continuing to tangle with Shangguan Wuchang. He should be killed by her senior brother.

What she needs to do now is obtain the Pure Water Pearl.

According to what her senior brother said in her past life, the Pure Water Pearl is at the bottom. The lake is three thousand meters deep. Putting aside whether Shangguan Wuchang was exaggerating, if it's really possible to dive another thousand meters, Yue Hongling decided to strike him out first, no matter what.

Yue Hongling continued to dive.

Two thousand five hundred meters.

At this point, a suffocating feeling tightly enveloped Yue Hongling.

This was because the pressure was too great.

The Pure Water has water quality that is much denser than normal lake water, with pressure over a thousand times greater, something even a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage could hardly withstand.

However, Yue Hongling felt that her limits were still quite far off; even four thousand meters would likely not be a problem for her.

Wasn't it easy for her senior brother to retrieve the Pure Water Pearl back then?

But the whole thing was made out to be so dramatic, as if he were about to die, leaving her to stay awake and take care of him for so long, and even getting taken advantage of by him.

Yue Hongling’s cheeks turned slightly red, though she wasn’t sure if it was due to the pressure or because of the memories of things that happened before.

Three thousand meters.

The water in the lake had turned a dark blue, and it gave off a heavy, oppressive feeling just by looking at it.

Yue Hongling froze.

She was sure that she had already descended three thousand meters.

But now, she looked downward, and everything was black. She couldn’t see the lakebed at all, and for a moment, she felt lost.

Wasn’t it supposed to be three thousand meters?

Could something have changed?

She gritted her teeth, assessing how much more she could endure, and dove further down.

Four thousand meters!

At this point, Yue Hongling was indeed strong, but when she reached four thousand meters, she still felt an overwhelming pressure. Her heart seemed to stop beating.

She still couldn’t see the lakebed.

Yue Hongling gritted her teeth and pressed on!

Five thousand meters!

At this point, a part of her bones had shattered, and her flesh began to show signs of decay.

Yue Hongling’s eyes were bloodshot, her face still showing disbelief.

She looked at her body blankly and thought back to the way Lu Ye crawled out of the Pure Water Lake back then.

Wasn’t it three thousand meters?

The location of the Pure Water Pearl isn’t three thousand meters deep.

The distance from the lake’s surface to the bottom isn’t three thousand meters either.

An intense fear and suffocation overwhelmed Yue Hongling. She was fearless, but she could vaguely feel liquid dripping from the corners of her eyes.

She was fearless.

Because her cultivation technique was powerful, and she had the memories of her past life. In her past life, she was an emperor. What terrifying scenes had she not experienced?

But what about Lu Ye, who helped her retrieve the Pure Water Pearl back then?

At that time, Lu Ye was just a new disciple who had only recently left his sect, someone who would even hesitate to kill a person.

For such a fledgling cultivator, how could he possibly have the courage to continue diving in such terrifying, suffocating, and even desperate waters, if he had no obsession and no strong conviction?

Because you never know how much farther you are from the lakebed.

It could be another hundred meters, maybe a thousand meters, or even three thousand meters...

In such a hopeless, endless environment, Lu Ye still remembered that she needed the Pure Water Pearl.

But why did he lie to himself?

Why lie to himself, saying it was only three thousand meters?

Yue Hongling gritted her teeth and continued to rush towards the lake’s bottom.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Her bones kept making crisp sounds.

Yue Hongling no longer knew how many meters she had descended. A faint blue glow finally entered her vision.

She could no longer see clearly, but still, she fumbled her way to the center of the blue glow and grasped the Pure Water Pearl.

At this moment, her body had an intense craving.

She needed the Pure /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ Water Pearl to merge with her body immediately. As soon as it did, her body, on the brink of shattering, would immediately recover, and the effect of enhancing her talent would be the best.

Merge!

Merge!

This wasn’t the enchantment of the Pure Water Pearl, but the signal from her almost shattered body sent directly to her brain.
