Chapter 343: Chapter 342: The Lost Continent

Lin Hao currently could not see Michelle Miller on Skeleton Island, chopping a bodyguard in half at the waist with a single strike. At this moment, he and the Great Witch were striving hard to dive deeper into the sea.

Forbidden Land, this maritime area is not only fraught with sky thunder above but equally perilous beneath the ocean’s depths.

Soon after they began their descent, Lin Hao and the Great Witch were obstructed by the formidable pressure of the sea.

It was as if a pair of invisible hands were pushing them back towards the surface; descending one meter required all the effort they could muster.

Fortunately, both of their Cultivations were strong.

However, the Great Witch said that the greater the Cultivation, the stronger the rebounding force.

If they overexerted themselves without maintaining balance with the sea pressure, then the water would turn into a great bow, with them as the fully drawn arrows ready to be shot out of the sea in an instant.

The mighty rebound could even catapult a Sky-breaking Expert directly from the sea into the sky, only to be disintegrated into ash by the thunder above.

Each step forward was a defiance of the Grim Reaper.

Every meter they descended demanded their utmost strength to maintain the pressure balance.

Fortunately, Lin Hao’s Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique was not unsubstantially named.

After several attempts, the circulation of Primordial Qi began to adjust slowly.

The Cycle of flowing Primordial Qi started adapting to the pressure from all directions; Lin Hao was like a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish, neutralizing the forces around him, making the descent easier the further down he went.

"Be cautious. If you can’t withstand the pressure further down, remember my words: don’t panic, don’t act rashly. Retreat slowly and make sure the sea pressure doesn’t shoot you up. If it’s not working, we can look for other methods. At worst, we can have a life-and-death fight with the Fish Demon!"

The Great Witch’s pale face was now flushed red.

He had been to the depths before.

Not just him, every previous Great Witch of Death Island spent their lives trying to dive into the sea beneath the island.

This experience was paid for with the lives of countless predecessors from Death Island.

And the deepest the Great Witch had ever gone was five hundred meters beneath the sea surface.

Beyond that, he would be repelled by the powerful forces.

Now, ten years since his last dive, the Great Witch believed that he could reach the ocean floor this time.

Hope seemed to be in sight.

So many ancient behemoths had died in Skeleton Islands, their carcasses turned into the islands here, not without reason.

And an ancient prophecy passed down in Death Island says that to eliminate the Fish Demon, one must venture to the bed of Skeleton Islands’ sea.

No one knew what lay at the bottom of the sea, but everyone believed that hope to leave this region was hidden there.

It was not until Lin Hao was rescued and related his experience that the Great Witch grew even more convinced there were things deep within the sea!

And these were the entities that moved Lin Hao from the edges of Skeleton Island to the fringes of Death Island.

Down and further down.

Three hundred meters, four hundred meters, five hundred meters!

This was the deepest depth the Great Witch had ever reached.

Despite ten years of cultivation that completely transformed his abilities since then, the Great Witch was still extremely exhausted.

"It gets tougher from here on, be careful."

There was no light in the water at this depth; the Great Witch took out a source of light he had collected, which barely illuminated a three-meter radius around them.

At this moment, the Great Witch thought it necessary to remind Lin Hao again, considering Lin Hao was not even twenty years old with limited cultivation.

"Stay behind me. I don’t know what dangers lie below. If something happens to me, don’t try to be a hero—retreat immediately according to plan. Go back and tell them I failed."

Adjusting his facial expression, the Great Witch stabilized his nearly chaotic breath.

Staring into the abyss of the sea floor, he spoke earnestly.

Without waiting for Lin Hao’s response, he activated his Primordial Qi and grit his teeth to press forward again.

Indeed, the deeper they went, the greater the pressure.

The Great Witch felt that he needed to exert eighty percent of his strength just to go down another meter.

Moreover, just for this one meter, he needed to expend a full ten minutes of time.

The immense pressure from all sides made him exert a force stronger than a baby’s first cry for every millimeter he advanced.

"Follow me."

The Great Witch had barely moved a millimeter, took a breath, and whispered a message to Lin Hao.

However, before the word ’I’ had settled, he saw a shadow flash by, and Lin Hao slipped down two millimeters with the ease of a fish!

What?

The Great Witch’s eyes widened in astonishment as he looked on at Lin Hao ahead, suddenly breaking out in a cold sweat, fearing Lin Hao might be in danger.

Fortunately, he too was a Great Witch, with a formidable and composed mind.

At this moment, he didn’t panic; instead, he turned his head to look behind Lin Hao.

He only thought that Lin Hao had covered in the blink of an eye the distance that took him ten minutes, and even doubled it; this surely wasn’t the result of his own effort. Perhaps something behind was attacking Lin Hao.

But, when he looked back, there was nothing there!

What’s happening?

The Great Witch was confused.

"Let me take the lead, you, follow me."

Lin Hao’s calm voice came from ahead, and the Great Witch, dumbfounded, looked forward incredulously.

He saw Lin Hao drifting leisurely below like a deep-sea fish.

What about the pressure?

The ocean pressure?

The kind of pressure that could even expel a Sky-breaking Expert from the sea’s surface was now nowhere to be seen on Lin Hao!

"You...," the Great Witch mumbled, completely clueless about what had happened, "you’re quite at ease?"

"Yes. I’ve neutralized the pressure."

Lin Hao nodded his head; in fact, it was only just then that the Primordial Qi from the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique found its balance with the ocean’s pressure, allowing him to reach this current state. Before, even for him sinking one meter had been very difficult.

"How did you do that!" Watching Lin Hao effortlessly descend another meter, the Great Witch felt as though lightning had struck his mind.

One meter!

This was no ordinary meter; it would take him over an hour to sink this one meter!

But for Lin Hao, just like a fish, with a flick of his hand, he descended without being subject to the pressure’s backlash.

This was simply inconceivable.

Indeed, how was it done?

Lin Hao knew that even the wonder of the Ancient Swallowing Heaven Technique couldn’t easily achieve this, because after all, over the centuries, countless Great Witches and ancestors on Death Island would have discovered this.

Lin Hao closed his eyes, reflecting on that feeling.

Suddenly, a glimmer of understanding dawned on him.

The ocean pressure was immense.

So powerful it was unimaginable.

But,

"Let the mighty be mighty, the breeze caresses the hills; let them be bold as they wish, the moon shines upon the river."

"What?"

Lin Hao’s muttering with eyes closed was not quite clear to the Great Witch, who upon listening carefully felt it sounded oddly impressive.

The Great Witch had spent his life on Death Island; he had seen hills, but what exactly was this breeze? Not to mention what the moon or the river were.

He didn’t understand, didn’t get it.

But the Great Witch knew that this had to be the secret to Lin Hao’s escape from the ocean’s grip.

His heart surged with excitement, and he gazed eagerly at Lin Hao, saying:

"Could you explain that..."
