Beneath the ground, Lin Sheng felt the loose, unobstructed soil around him instantly turn into walls of steel, reducing his Earth-Traveling Technique to near uselessness.
At the same time, the ground beneath him shook and churned without end. An irresistible force surged up from below, carrying him straight toward the surface.
"This is..."
This unprecedented situation startled him, but he reacted with extreme speed.
He knew that if he did not find a way out of this predicament, he would have no chance at all. He immediately drew a deep breath.
Level Three Great Strength, True Yang Transformation, Azure Meridian Transformation, Blazing Bones...
In an instant, he unleashed every method he had, erupting to his absolute limit.
Terrifying, overwhelmingly powerful strength flooded his entire body in an instant. The rocks and dirt continuously squeezing and carrying him along were smashed apart anew beneath his massive hands as he continued burrowing deeper underground.
Within a few breaths, he had descended several dozen more meters.
"Huh! He actually broke free?"
On the ground, Xiang Kong paused as he toyed with the black liquid sphere in his hand. Surprise appeared on his fair, handsome face. His gaze fell upon the ground, and soon he gave a soft laugh.
"Interesting. He actually had another trick hidden up his sleeve."
Xiang Kong murmured, then raised his hand again and pressed it against the ground. This time, a thread of crystalline white radiance emerged from his pale palm and seeped deep underground.
In an instant, thunderous explosions began booming continuously beneath the earth.
Lin Sheng, who was frantically drilling through the depths below, suddenly felt the needle-prick sense of danger flare up even more intensely.
His expression changed. He did not need to think to know that the terrifying Void Transformation Grandmaster had made another move.
