The light was like the first glimmer of light in the darkness; even though it’s vague, it’s real.
Lan Yuan raised his hand and pointed at a dark shadow mountain not far away: “All sources of pollution are there. Sea beast carcasses, ash-black sediments, seriously infected seaweed roots are all there.”
The three of us made more than a dozen trips, collecting almost every pollution source we could find in the area.
David followed his gaze and saw a small hill formed from a large amount of pollutants, which shimmered with a gray-black color in the dark sea water, like a silent tomb.
The pollutants emitted a dense, almost tangible aura, like an invisible black mist hovering over a hill, constantly twisting and roiling, releasing a sickening stench.
Even the surrounding seawater was dark gray, and the spiritual plants within a radius of several tens of feet had withered and died completely.
David nodded, then walked step by step towards the pile of pollutants.
Chaotic gray energy churned around him, shrouding him in a gentle yet formidable light.
With every step he took, the ash-black sediment beneath his feet trembled slightly, as if afraid of the impending force.
As he approached the mountain source of pollution, the yin energy seemed to sense the arrival of a natural enemy, and began to churn and roil violently, emitting a low hum, like a startled beast letting out a warning growl.
Lan Yuan stood a distance away, watching David approach the source of pollution step by step, his voice sounded worried: “Can he handle it? The yin energy concentration is too high.”
Asami stood beside him, her gaze also fixed on David’s figure: “Since he can absorb the Yin energy in the gaps of the Underworld Abyss, this shouldn’t be difficult for him either. But it is indeed very concentrated.”
David didn’t stop.
He took a deep breath, raised his hand, and chaotic power surged from his palm like a broken dam, turning into a gray pillar of light that enveloped all the pollutants.
The gray light penetrated the layer of yin energy, like sunlight penetrating thick dark clouds, completely enveloping the pollutant mountain.
In that instant, yin energy, like burning dry firewood, began to ferment, burn, and dissipate violently.
The hissing sound echoed on the seabed, like thousands of poisonous snakes hissing at the same time.
The gray-black deposits appeared to whiten, fade, and turn white, like mud dried by the sun.
The Yin energy of the sea monster corpse was peeled off layer by layer by the power of chaos, like peeling off the layers of a cocoon. Every layer collapsed, shattered into pieces, and vanished in gray light.
Yin energy rushed into David’s body as if it had found an outlet, flowing into his dantian along his meridians.
The power was more powerful than before, like a flood breaking through a narrow river channel, with tremendous momentum to devour everything.
For a moment his meridians stretched painfully, as if they had been filled with an excessive amount of water, and every blood vessel pulsed lightly. His face was slightly pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Lan Yuan’s expression suddenly changed: “He absorbed that Yin energy? Absorbed so much at once?”
Shen Liu’s pupils narrowed slightly: “That Yin energy concentration is higher than I have ever seen before. Can he survive?”
Qianhai’s voice was urgent: “Shall we go up and help?”
“You can’t go up there.”
Lan Yuan’s voice was low and restrained, “If we go up now, it will only disrupt its rhythm. Moreover that Yin energy is too dangerous for us; we will be contaminated before we can even touch it.”
David closed his eyes and focused all his energy to circulate the Mind Concentration Technique in his body.
The Chaos Flames blazed violently in his dantian, stripping and refining the violent and decaying yin energy flowing into his body, turning it into the purest energy that flowed into his meridians and dantian.
He could feel that his foundation as a rank-six Gold Immortal was growing firmer and deeper, like a shoot being repeatedly watered and nurtured, with its roots spreading deeper and deeper.
But the yin energy was too strong.
Like a tidal wave, wave after wave crashed into his body, making him feel as if his meridians were about to rupture.
