Everyone was soon able to see the energy source for the cold wave.

Rumble!

Right in front of the group’s eyes, an enormous wave of white energy rose up from the frozen polar sea all the way to the heavens.

At the center of this enormous wave of white energy was an enormous whirlpool that was several dozen li in diameter. Countless ice floes and large quantities of water were rapidly spun around and churned by this powerful whirlpool.

Not only that, they could sense that the cold wave was far more concentrated here than anywhere else.

Icy mist ran rampant through the world, and as it crashed against the silver barrier, it sounded as if countless grains of iron sand were pelting the barrier.

Wang Chong could also sense powerful spacetime ripples from the center of that whirlpool.

The closer one got to the ocean, the stronger the pulses became. Yeon Gaesomun and the others shared fearful glances.

“This is the place!”

Wang Chong immediately understood that this was the source of the cold wave wreaking havoc on the world. Moreover, unlike with the Caspian Sea, the dimensional gate was not on the surface, but hidden on the ocean floor.

Boom!

An enormous explosion came from behind the group.

“Those Hou have caught up!” the Khitan King called out.

Wang Chong had scattered the thundercloud vortex already, but by now, both the vortex and snow tornadoes had reformed. The snow tornadoes and the Hou were all coming in their direction.

At their current speed, they would arrive soon and once more plunge them into a bitter battle.

Wang Chong was still in a decent state. The Ice Element Divine Embryo could extract energy from the blizzard, but not everyone could do this. Once they consumed all their Stellar Energy, the experts from the other countries would all die.

“Let’s go!”

Wang Chong blazed with Stellar Energy, sweeping up everyone as he rose into the air and then plunged into that giant whirlpool in the polar ocean.

As they approached the center of the whirlpool, they could feel the pull getting stronger. Compared to that white wave of energy surging out from the ocean, those snow tornadoes they had encountered were as insignificant as ants.

The two of them weren’t even on the same level!

Destructive energy was contained in that white wave of energy, together with the obliterative power of spacetime. This power could easily crush mountains and tear apart the toughest of metals.

This terrifying power could make anyone’s blood run cold and their bodies shiver in fear. Even Wang Chong felt greatly endangered.

If he accidentally got himself caught up in it, not only would his Stellar Energy rapidly be consumed, he would be heavily injured.

The spacetime energy within it was enough to affect any Grotto Heaven realm expert.

Whoosh!

Water splashed as Wang Chong turned and plummeted downward with the group, instantly shattering the ice as they dove into the icy depths.

As they entered the polar sea, their surroundings suddenly darkened, as if they were entering a different world.

This was a dark and lonely word, a deathly stillness devoid of life. All that was here was the surging sea waters.

“Everyone, be careful! Be ready to fight at any moment!” The Demonic Emperor Old Man’s voice rang out in everyone’s ears.

Wang Chong and the others tensed, their minds focusing. An attack could come at any time, for all of them understood that they had reached the terminus of their journey.

Those men in black had developed such an enormous plan, treating all the lives of the world as their chess pieces, their sacrificial offerings. It was impossible for them to not have any defensive measures.

The deeper they went, the more dangerous it became. If they made a mistake, there would be no chance to recover.

Even so, there was no going back. Whether it was for their own peoples or for the world, they had to stop the cold wave. On this point, the other countries and the Great Tang shared the same view.

Five hundred meters!

Seven hundred meters!

As they went deeper and deeper, their surroundings grew darker and the pressure increased.

Deep under the sea, they didn’t just have to contend with the threats from the Celestial God Organization. They also had to deal with the surrounding pressure and breathing.

Deep in the sea, there was no air to breathe.

“Take out the leaves I gave you!”

Wang Chong spread out his Psychic Energy to its limit, exploring his surroundings as he spoke to the others in the group.

Within the silver barrier, the others quickly took out the strange green leaves that Wang Chong had given to them before they had set out, placing them in their mouths.

Wang Chong had sent his Earth clone to the now-collapsed Origin Immortal Cave to seek out these leaves.

So long as one placed these special leaves in their mouths, they would have an oxygen supply for a certain amount of time.

“Everyone, remember, these leaves I gave you can only last for an hour at most. We have to complete the mission in that amount of time!” Wang Chong used his thoughts to communicate with the others.

“Mm.”

All of them nodded, resolve in their eyes.

One thousand meters!

Twelve hundred meters!

Wang Chong led the group deeper and deeper, and he began to sense unknown organisms in the surrounding ocean.

Wang Chong didn’t worry about them. This was an important base of the Celestial God Organization and key to the Purification plan, so it inevitably had to have many defenses.

His most urgent priority was to find the source, to shut off that unknown teleportation gate.

“Over there!”

Wang Chong was extremely focused, and his mind was locked onto that giant whirlpool in the polar sea. This was his sole reference object in the blackness of the depths.

Finally, as he plumbed the depths, he noticed something different.

Roooar!

Furious roars came from all around, and mysterious black silhouettes rapidly converged on them. These dark silhouettes appeared somewhat similar to sharks, but their bodies were almost completely white, only their backs black. Moreover, they were much larger than sharks.

Moreover, they were strong and tough, appearing extremely dangerous. It was impossible to categorize them as deep sea fish.

Buzz!

Wang Chong brought the fingers of his right hand together and prepared to deal with these deep sea creatures.

“Wait!” A familiar voice rang out.

“King of Foreign Lands, I know that you are very powerful, and I also know that you want to protect us, but the cold wave is not merely the Great Tang’s problem,” the Xi Queen suddenly said, her expression solemn. “The fate of all our countries are linked to it!

“Let us deal with these ordinary threats. In a short while, there will be even greater threats that you will need to deal with, and it is not proper for you to waste your energy before this… Is this not the reason you brought us here?”

Wang Chong was taken aback and looked around. He saw that Yeon Gaesomun, Ozmish Khagan, and the other experts were all seriously nodding.

It was clear that they all shared the same opinion.

On this expedition to the extreme north, all of them hoped to do their part in getting rid of the cold wave.

“Okay!”

Wang Chong didn’t think for too long. After giving a quick nod, he turned his focus back to the deep sea.

As they got closer to their target, the spatial disturbances grew stronger. Wang Chong truly didn’t have the attention for other things.

Boomboomboom!

A few moments later, those deep sea creatures arrived and swiftly began to attack the group.

Each of these deep sea creatures was ten-some meters long and had a steely hide and bones, as well as a mouthful of savage teeth.

On the surface, these creatures wouldn’t have been much of a threat, but in the ocean, they were the most threatening of killers.

Boom! The dark waters surged as these creatures shot through the water like arrows.

Not even considering their sharp teeth, their charges alone had reached the Imperial Martial realm.

All the members of the group were peak experts, and just one of these deep sea creatures wouldn’t have presented much of a threat. But there were thousands of them.

After all, this deep in the ocean, each of them had their strength greatly restrained.

They were at a disadvantage while their opponents were at an advantage. This was not a factor they could disregard.

“Beasts, die!”

As those deep sea creatures charged, the Xi Queen brought her slender fingers together, her eyes turning fiendish. The surrounding sea water gathered together and turned into icicles that were more than five feet long, as thick as fingers, and exceptionally sharp.

Thwishthwishthwish!

The moment they finished forming, the icicles pierced through the waters at the creatures.

The Xi Queen was not relying on pure force. She controlled the icicles so that they accurately pierced through the eyes of the creatures, plunging through this point of weakness to stab into their brains.

Plush! Plush! Plush! As the icicles stabbed into flesh, blood gushed out of the creatures and their bodies writhed in pain.

It took only a few moments for their eyes to roll over and their bodies to start floating to the surface.

Ten, twenty, seventy…

It took only a few moments for more than a hundred of these deep sea creatures to be slain by the Xi Queen’s attacks, and not a single one had been able to get within three hundred feet of the group!
