In the mythical world, the king-level creature, Thunder Blaze, stood amid the shattered earth, collapsed slopes, and burning forests, surrounded by the massive corpses exuding a terrifying aura.
Before the corpse of a mutated beast, a ferocious giant beast emerged, its black-red body burning with golden-red flames, lightning dancing across its form, and its tail weapon broken, radiating a terrifying presence.
As the Thunder Blaze giant beast flexed its claws, muscles bulging with a powerful aura, savoring the aftermath of battle, the ground trembled in the distance.
Suddenly, the deep sea dragon turtle, which had popped out from who knows where, hurriedly ran over, excitedly roaring from afar.
"Roar! Thunder Blaze, you're so fierce! You took down that big guy!"
"Roar! Thunder Blaze, you truly are the leader, incredible... incredible!"
"Roar! By the way, Thunder Blaze, what does 'incredible' mean? Why do you like to describe it that way?"
Watching the deep sea dragon turtle excitedly circling around, Thunder Blaze took a deep breath and swiped a claw.
Boom!
With a single swipe, the air exploded, and the deep sea dragon turtle, resembling a small mountain, was flipped over with a crash, its massive body thudding onto the ground.
Instantly, the deep sea dragon turtle, accustomed to feeling safe on all fours, panicked, its limbs flailing as its long neck stretched out, struggling to right itself.
Bang! Accompanied by the ground shaking, the deep sea dragon turtle managed to flip back over and plaintively exclaimed, "Roar! Thunder Blaze, why did you hit me?"
Thunder Blaze looked at it in confusion and growled, "Roar! Did I hit you? I just gave you a friendly pat. You’re just too weak; I didn’t even apply much force before you flipped over."
Despite its larger frame, the deep sea dragon turtle finally chose to believe this explanation, realizing there was no way to win a fight.
"Roar! Let's go check what’s down there!" Thunder Blaze let out a low growl, its massive body making its way toward a distant pond.
"Roar! Yes, yes, let’s go find some good stuff!"
Talking about this got the deep sea dragon turtle all excited.
They had ventured out risking danger just to find some good food, after all.
Leaving the corpse of the ancient giant crocodile behind, the two massive beasts quickly returned to the small pond.
Thunder Blaze extinguished its flames and lightning, stepping into the ‘small’ pool, which felt like a bathtub to them.
Gurgle, gurgle! As the two colossal beasts entered, the water level in the pond suddenly surged, with large amounts spilling over and rushing into the surrounding shattered ground.
"Hmm! Something feels off about the water."
As soon as Thunder Blaze entered the pond, it sensed something was wrong. First, the water was very deep, not as shallow as it appeared from the outside, but rather a huge cavity winding downward.
Secondly, there was something strange about the water; the energy contained within was not less than that found over three thousand meters below in the deep sea.
Deep beneath the ocean, fissures were common, and the seawater and pressure seemed to have properties that locked in energy, making the deeper ocean energy more concentrated.
Especially in places where spatial fissures had occurred, the energy density was thick as liquid, often occupied by deep sea behemoths.
"Roar! Keep up!"
With a low growl, Thunder Blaze's tail flicked, its massive form diving down the winding underwater passage to several hundred meters beneath the surface.
As it descended, the cave grew narrower, with signs of excavation and breakage evident in many places, clearly from the claws of the ancient giant crocodile.
When they reached a depth of eight hundred meters, Thunder Blaze understood why the pond's energy was so rich.
In the depths of a 'narrow' cave that was over ten meters wide, the surrounding rocks had various gaps of different sizes from which underground water seeped.
In the center of the cave, a white crack about a meter long and several centimeters wide 'hovered,' with streams of rich earth and sky energy continuously flowing out from the opposite side.
