I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 652 The Divine Essence is at the bottom of the sea, in a place yet to be discovered.

The feeling of being suppressed is very uncomfortable.

Jiang Chen had realized something was wrong, but he couldn't find the root cause or solve the problem.

Only when one's strength is sufficient might one be able to discover the clues.

Several hours later, Jiang Chen fully replenished the undead army.

The Holy Sound Wind Chime remained unresponsive, so Jiang Chen had no choice but to continue his search.

As Jiang Chen ventured deeper into the Azure Dragon Sea, the monsters became increasingly higher level.

It's become increasingly difficult to encounter monsters below level 80. The commotion caused by the undead legion has grown so large that it has finally alerted the bosses lurking beneath the sea.

Soon, several world bosses came knocking.

The strongest one has reached level 87, and the others are at level 84 or 85.

If it were in the past, Jiang Chen would have turned around and left without saying a word.

Fighting aquatic bosses underwater is definitely not a pleasant experience.

Even if they fight, it will be a very tough fight.

But with the appearance of the god-level Skeleton King, everything became exceptionally simple.

The sword light shone so brightly on the dark seabed.

With overwhelming power, the Skeleton King instantly killed the bosses with just a few sword strikes.

It brings me a lot of experience, as well as a few decent near-mythical level equipment.

Jiang Chen thought the BOSSes were all good people, coming from afar to give away equipment and experience.

Five days later, the light of upgrading rose from Jiang Chen's body once again.

After level 75, the experience requirement increases again, and the leveling speed slows down.

Especially after several world bosses were killed, the monsters in the Azure Dragon Sea seemed to receive some signal and stopped bothering Jiang Chen.

Later on, they would even flee at the mere scent of the undead army.

They are incredibly fast in the water, and can only catch up with the headless horseman when he uses his charge attack; otherwise, they are impossible to catch.

As a result, Jiang Chen's leveling speed slowed down significantly.

It took a full five days to level up.

Jiang Chen stood in the water, but the upgrade did not bring him much joy.

Not only did the feeling of being suppressed reappear, but the divine essence of the God of Holy Sound could not be found.

"The worst has happened. It seems that the divine essence is no longer at the bottom of the Azure Dragon Sea."

"Then the most likely explanation is that it flowed into the whirlpool."

Jiang Chen's expression was somewhat solemn; he genuinely did not want to clash with the deity in the vortex.

It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that Jiang Chen didn't want to act rashly without knowing the other party's background.

After all, the fact that it possesses the ability to attack souls is the most troublesome thing.

Jiang Chen pondered for a long time and decided to search again.

In case I forget something.

He flew away from the Azure Dragon Sea and arrived above the Wild Continent. He repositioned himself in the air, then returned to the Azure Dragon Sea to begin his search.

Five more days were spent, and still no results were found.

"Are we really going to the vortex?" Jiang Chen pondered for a long time before taking out Antares's dragon scale.

With a slight movement of his soul power, he activated the dragon scales, "Antares!"

There was no response, and Jiang Chen knew that the guy must have fallen asleep again, so he called again.

After calling more than ten times, Antares finally responded.

"I'm dreaming, spit it out! If you have nothing to say, I'll swallow you whole!" Antares's voice was grumpy from being woken up, and he was very annoyed.

Jiang Chen didn't care about its temper and got straight to the point, "You know about the great vortex in the lower space, right?"

“Of course I know!” Antares snorted. “There’s nothing in this world that I don’t know.”

Jiang Chen said, "Can you stop talking big?"

Antares snorted again. "Except for your matters," Jiang Chen said. "I'm going to the Great Vortex."

The dragon scales trembled incessantly, and a dragon's roar resounded, accompanied by Antares's furious voice, "What are you doing there? Are you looking for death?"

Jiang Chen asked, "Why?"

"That's where the God of Ten Thousand Souls sleeps. Do you even know what a god is? You brat, you're asking for death like this!" Antares was getting anxious; he was afraid Jiang Chen had already gone.

Jiang Chen said, "Don't rush, I'm just thinking about it, I haven't gone yet."

Hearing Jiang Chen say this, Antares felt a little relieved. "Don't go. That guy hasn't woken up yet. Anyone who gets close will be considered an enemy."

"I see."

Jiang Chen had already guessed about this, and what Antares said was indeed quite similar to what he had guessed.

Antares suddenly asked, "Why do you want to go there? There's nothing there."

Jiang Chen recounted the request made to him by the Great God of Tianshan.

Antares said, "Then you don't need to go. The divine essence of the God of Holy Sound is in the Azure Dragon Sea, not in the Great Whirlpool."

“But I searched the entire Azure Dragon Sea and couldn’t find it.” Jiang Chen frowned. Antares wouldn’t talk nonsense. Could it be that he had really overlooked something?

Antares chuckled. "Anyway, I've already told you. Whether you can find it or not is up to you."

"I'm going back to sleep, don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

"If you keep making noise, I'll really eat you up. Don't think I won't!"

After saying that, Antares disconnected the connection.

Jiang Chen chuckled. Antares wasn't afraid, but rather he didn't know how.

This guy doesn't even bother to put in any effort with his words.

Fortunately, I asked Antares; otherwise, if I had gone there rashly, it would have caused a lot of trouble.

“Since Antares says that the divine essence is still in the Azure Dragon Sea, then it must be there.”

"We searched twice, how could we possibly have missed anything?"

Jiang Chen recalled his search process and confirmed that nothing had been missed.

"Something must be leaking somewhere."

"Think again!"

Jiang Chen chose to believe Antares's words, feeling that there must be things he hadn't noticed.

Jiang Chen pondered the problem while in the sea, recalling all the details.

The power of the soul flowed slowly, transmitting every detail of the surrounding situation without missing a single detail.

Suddenly, Jiang Chen noticed a problem, one that he had previously paid attention to but then ignored.

Ocean currents!

Although the seabed of Qinglong is calm, there are still ocean currents.

Near the vortex, the ocean currents were heading towards it. Jiang Chen had worried that the currents might carry the divine spark with them.

Later, as the ocean currents disappeared and the vortex receded, Jiang Chen concluded that the divine essence had not entered the vortex.

After that, I never paid attention to ocean currents again.

He now discovered that the currents still existed, only much weaker.

The power of a tiny ocean current is small, yet it exists year after year.

It's possible that the deity fell into the Azure Dragon Sea many years ago and was slowly carried away by the ocean currents.

Having finally grasped the key point, with a glint in his eyes, Jiang Chen sank to the bottom of the sea.

Standing on the seabed, Jiang Chen carefully sensed the changes in the ocean currents using his soul power.

He discovered that all the ocean currents were moving in the same direction.

Needless to say, the divine essence was also led in that direction.

Unless the ocean currents have changed over the years.

Jiang Chen followed the ocean currents and finally arrived at the place where the currents converged.

He sensed a crack here.

"Underwater canyons and deep trenches."

Jiang Chen chuckled to himself; it turned out to be an underwater canyon.

He was too clever for his own good.

I originally thought that being 50,000 meters from the seabed would prevent me from missing anything, whether I was going up or down.

Even if a monster accidentally obtains the divine essence and takes it to the ice beneath the Wild Continent, it can still sense it.

They forgot that there might be canyons and trenches on the seabed, and it's hard to say how deep those trenches are.

It could be more than 100,000 meters away, so naturally it wouldn't be able to be sensed.

Now that he had discovered it, Jiang Chen did not hesitate and went straight in.

The trench is quite large, and it also harbors many monsters.

Jiang Chen arrived with his undead army, and the monsters fled in panic.

In the past few days, Jiang Chen has swept through the Azure Dragon Seabed several times, and the monsters are all afraid of him.

The depth of the trench exceeded Jiang Chen's imagination, at least 80,000 meters.

The pressure had reached an alarming level, even Jiang Chen's endurance had reached its limit.

The undead army stopped at 50,000 meters, and the Lich General continuously healed them.

Here, they suffer constant harm. If the undead army were to descend with them, the Lich General might not even have time to heal them and wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

There is no battle going on right now, so they are not needed. They can stay here and stand by, ready to join the battle when needed.

Jiang Chen arrived at the bottom of the trench alone and walked forward with the ocean current.

"Ding."

The soul heard a melodious sound; the sacred wind chimes glowed faintly, illuminating this dark world.

"It really is there."

Jiang Chen traveled with the ocean currents, but the resistance in the ocean slowed him down compared to other places.

It doesn't take long to travel 100 kilometers.

The sensation grew stronger, and a faint light appeared before my eyes.

Jiang Chen saw the divine spark, which was lying on the seabed, reflecting the holy sound of the wind chimes.

The moment Jiang Chen saw the divine spark, a tremendous force surged forth, like a heavy punch landing on him.

Jiang Chen didn't sense anything; he knew it was a warning, not a real attack.

A pair of eyes glowing red appeared above the divine spark, staring intently at Jiang Chen.

Then, countless monsters appeared in my soul perception.

The monsters that had previously avoided them all rushed back.
