Chapter 323 The Guardians of the Underwater Cave
As the group ventured deeper into the cave, the aura of water element became increasingly intense.
Strange runes began to appear on the cave walls.
It emitted a pale blue light, providing faint illumination to the dim cave.
"These runes..."
Jin Chan carefully observed the cave walls; "It seems to be some kind of ancient water-based sealing technique."
Jiang Mo nodded: "It seems the water element core wasn't just placed here randomly, but was specially sealed and protected."
"Be careful, everyone. The presence of a seal means there might be a guardian present."
As soon as he finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the cave, like the surging of water or the breathing of some kind of creature.
"Something's coming!" Feng Baobao clenched her fists alertly, purple Gu energy flowing across her body.
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light as he focused on sensing the aura ahead.
A powerful and ancient energy fluctuation is rapidly approaching.
That feeling was more mysterious and unpredictable than any enemy I had ever encountered before.
&34;Boom!&34;
The cave began to shake violently, and large amounts of water gushed out from all directions, instantly submerging the cave floor.
Strangely, the water did not impact the people, but instead formed a huge vortex in mid-air.
At the center of the vortex, a massive figure slowly emerged.
"This is...!" Everyone was stunned.
It was a huge water dragon, tens of meters long.
Its entire body is deep blue, and its scales are as clear and translucent as sapphires.
The water dragon's head was incredibly majestic, with a pair of huge blue eyes looking down at the crowd, radiating a chilling aura of power.
Who dares to trespass into the sacred land of the water element?!
The sound of the water dragon echoed through the cave like thunder, carrying an indescribable majesty and power.
Jiang Mo, head held high and chest puffed out, showed no fear: "I am Jiang Mo, the King of Ten Thousand Gu, here to seek the core of the water element!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Shui Long's eyes: "The King of Ten Thousand Gu? Interesting... It's been a long time since anyone dared to call themselves a king before me."
"Boy, do you know who I am?"
Jiang Mo's eyes gleamed with golden light as he carefully examined the water dragon before him.
Judging from the aura emanating from it, this is definitely not an ordinary creature, but some ancient being with great power.
"You must be the guardian of the water element core," Jiang Mo said calmly.
The water dragon let out a low laugh: "Indeed, I am the ancestor of the water element, ordered by the progenitor of all poisons to guard the core of the water element for thousands of years."
"To obtain the Water Element Core, you must first pass my test!"
Jiang Mo nodded: "I was prepared. Please give me the question."
A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Ancestor of Water: "Young man, you have good courage. But courage does not equate to strength."
"My test is simple: if you can withstand my attacks for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the Water Elemental Core is yours."
"If you can't do it..." A dangerous glint flashed in the water dragon's eyes, "You will remain here forever, becoming souls at the bottom of the lake!"
Feng Baobao and the others felt a chill run down their spines. The aura of the Ancestor of Water Elements was far too powerful, giving them a sense of oppression as if they were facing a vast ocean.
But Jiang Mo was not afraid at all; instead, she showed an expectant smile.
"Perfect timing, I also want to test my true strength after obtaining the inheritance of the Progenitor of Ten Thousand Gu."
"Come forth, progenitor of the water element!"
A glint of fighting spirit flashed in Shui Long's eyes: "Very good, you have courage."
"Then let me see just how strong the new King of Ten Thousand Gu is!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ancestor of Water Elements suddenly opened his huge mouth, and a terrifying jet of water shot out, heading straight for Jiang Mo's chest!
The water jet was incredibly powerful; it carved a deep trench in the cave wall wherever it passed!
"Golden Gu Divine Power, Three Elements Return to One!"
Jiang Mo was not afraid at all. The divine power of the Golden Gu, the power of fire element and the power of wind element in his body erupted at the same time, forming a three-colored barrier in front of him!
The water jet struck the barrier, unleashing a deafening roar that shook the entire cave!
Surprisingly, Jiang Mo's three-element barrier perfectly withstood the attack without sustaining any damage!
"Interesting!" A hint of appreciation flashed in the eyes of the Ancestor of Water Elements. "Indeed, he has some skill. No wonder he dares to call himself the King of Ten Thousand Gu."
"However, that's far from enough!"
With a swift movement, the water dragon's enormous body swam rapidly through the cave, so fast that only a blue afterimage could be seen.
"Water Elemental Secret Technique, Tornado Water Assault!"
Countless water tornadoes attacked Jiang Mo from all directions, each containing terrifying tearing power!
"The Three Elements Unite as One, the True Form of the Gu God!"
A burst of golden light erupted, and Jiang Mo's body was instantly enveloped by the enormous golden phantom, as if a god had descended to earth!
With a wave of his hand, the true form of the Gu God unleashed golden light, flames, and gentle breezes that intertwined into blades of light, shattering all the water tornadoes!
"Such formidable power!" exclaimed the Ancestor of Water Elements. "You have fused the three elemental powers to such an extent; you truly deserve to be called the King of All Poisons!"
"However, the real test has only just begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the water in the entire cave began to surge wildly, forming a huge water domain!
Within this realm, the power of the progenitor of the water element was greatly amplified, while the power of other elements was suppressed.
In the realm of the water element, all waters converge!
The progenitor of water roared, and the water in the entire domain began to condense.
Countless water swords formed, densely packed together, and stabbed towards Jiang Mo!
"Trying to suppress me with your domain?" Jiang Mo sneered. "You underestimate the power of the King of Ten Thousand Gu!"
"The Origin of All Poisons, Domain Confrontation!"
A golden light burst forth from Jiang Mo's body, instantly forming an even more powerful golden domain!
Within this realm, the power of the Myriad Gu Origin reached its peak, even suppressing the Water Domain of the Ancestor of Water Elements!
"This...this is impossible!" The Ancestor of Water Elements was shocked. "You can actually suppress my Water Elemental Domain?"
Jiang Mo's eyes flashed with golden light: "This is the inherited power of the Primordial Ancestor of Ten Thousand Gu! The Origin of Ten Thousand Gu can suppress all elemental power!"
"Now it's my turn to attack!"
The true form of the Gu God took a step forward, and the golden domain instantly expanded, enveloping the entire cave!
"The origin of all poisons, the return of all poisons to one!"
Countless golden phantom Gu worms surged out from Jiang Mo's body, swimming rapidly within the domain and forming a massive Gu worm army!
These phantom images of Gu worms are not real creatures.
But each one contains terrifying energy, enough to tear apart any obstacle!
"Not good!" The Ancestor of Water Elements felt an unprecedented sense of crisis. "This kid's strength has actually reached this level!"
"Water Elemental Mystery, True Dragon Protection!"
The water flow formed layer upon layer of defensive barriers around the progenitor of the water element, each layer as solid as steel!
However, the golden Gu worm army's attack was too fierce, and the defensive barriers were constantly being torn apart, making a piercing cracking sound!
"Click! Click!"
