Meanwhile.
Li Zhōujūn took the lead and swam toward the bottom of the Drowning God Abyss. Although he was underwater, the water did not wet even a corner of his clothes.
Great Emperor Luoshui followed close behind.
The water of the Drowning God Abyss likewise failed to wet Great Emperor Luoshui's clothes.
The farther they swam toward the bottom of the Drowning God Abyss, the darker it became, until they could not see their hands before their faces.
But this did not affect Li Zhōujūn, who was in the Great Sun Realm, in the slightest—much less Great Emperor Luoshui, who was in the Immortal Realm.

Great Emperor Luoshui sensed something amiss and hurriedly called out to Li Zhōujūn.
Li Zhōujūn froze for a moment. He adjusted his position on the seabed, with his feet pointing toward the bottom of the Drowning God Abyss and his head toward the surface, then looked at Great Emperor Luoshui in confusion.
