Zombie King: Picking up a baby at the beginning is the reincarnation of the empress

Chapter 541 Deep-Sea Giant Whale!

Overjoyed at having obtained the Bodhi Tree, Ji Ruxue noticed something amiss, exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly called the two others to head towards the altar in the center.

Rumble~
The ground around them began to crack inch by inch, and large amounts of white jade bricks flew everywhere. Buildings began to collapse rapidly under the violent shaking, and the entire ruins were disappearing at a rapid pace.

At this moment, Lu Chuan and his two companions finally arrived at the altar in the center.

At this moment, the altar was shaking continuously, and the golden array patterns on its surface were emitting a dazzling spiritual light, clearly indicating that the altar was in the activation state.

"let's go!"

With time of the essence, the three immediately jumped onto the altar and disappeared in the next second.

Beyond the ruins, on the island.

Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them teleported back, they discovered that the entire island of ruins was also trembling.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan's expression hardened.

"Dad, those ancient ruins are collapsing rapidly, and the island that it relies on is naturally not going to be spared," Ji Ruxue explained when she saw her father's serious expression.

At this moment, all three of them were flying in the air.

Kakaka~
Just as Ji Ruxue was speaking, the island of ruins below suddenly erupted with a series of loud bangs, and cracks several meters long appeared in the ground, with large amounts of soil and gravel rolling down along the cracks.

The surrounding forest collapsed on a large scale, just like wheat being harvested by a sickle.

At the same time, roars of fear echoed everywhere as countless ferocious beasts, in a panic, rampaged across the island.

Many ferocious beasts, unable to stop themselves, plunged headfirst into the ubiquitous cracks and disappeared.

"We shouldn't stay here any longer; let's leave this island!"

Looking at the island, which resembled the end of the world, Lu Chuan's expression was grave. He gave a reminder to the two people beside him.

Then, it quickly flew towards the location of the sea monster corpse puppets.

Before long, amidst a series of booming sounds coming from the island, the three successfully left the island and reached the sea.

At this moment, the tens of thousands of sea beast corpse puppets that were waiting on the beach quickly moved away from the island under Lu Chuan's orders.

Rumble~
Soon after, the cracking island finally reached its limit and began to sink rapidly. The surrounding seawater overflowed the coast and poured into the center of the island.

Soon, the entire island sank into the ocean and disappeared, leaving only a huge whirlpool in its place, with large amounts of seawater constantly surging downwards.

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan and his two companions had arrived a kilometer away from the island, and they watched as the island crumbled and sank.

"It's such a big island that it sank into the sea so quickly. It's also a bit of a pity that we haven't finished exploring the ruins yet."

Zhao Lin, who was almost stunned by the horrific sight, couldn't help but sigh, feeling incredibly regretful.

They only explored a small part of the ruins, and now it's all wasted.

"Who could have imagined that the foundation of these ruins lies on a sacred Bodhi tree?" Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan looked at the tree canopy above Ji Ruxue's head with a wry smile and said helplessly.

He hadn't expected the Bodhi Tree to be so important to the ruins. If he had known earlier, he would have suggested that Xiao Qiqi retrieve the Bodhi Tree at the very end.

Hearing what the two said, Ji Ruxue felt a little embarrassed.

She didn't actually know that the Bodhi tree and the ruins were so closely related.

In her previous life, although she had noticed the destruction of the secret realm, she had not investigated the reasons for the destruction, so she was not clear about the matter.

"Alright, we've already gained quite a bit from the ruins. We should be content. I've had enough of this sea. Let's head back!"

Lu Chuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Lu Chuan, you're right. One shouldn't be too greedy. This time alone, I've obtained a large number of cultivation techniques and combat skills, as well as a spiritual weapon. That's enough."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin nodded in strong agreement.

"roar~"

Just then, a loud roar came from the distant sea. It was Ji Ruxue's pet, the mutated giant tortoise, that had arrived.

The mutated giant tortoise, which was originally hunting in the distance, was able to move so quickly, naturally because of Ji Ruxue's call.

"Daddy, the little turtle is here! Let's go down!"

Immediately, the three landed on the back of the mutated giant tortoise.

Without delay, the group immediately turned around and headed west.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and unsurprisingly, the three of them were still floating on the sea.

Over the past few days, the three of them have taken stock of the items they brought out of the ruins. Some of the materials and weapons were easy to distribute, but the main items were the jade slips that recorded cultivation techniques and combat skills.

The three of them spent a considerable amount of time sorting through the hundreds of jade slips.

On the turtle's back, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged at the front, playing with the Devouring Heaven Pot in his hand, his eyes fixed on the distant sea.

Behind him were Ji Ruxue and Zhao Lin, who were diligently cultivating.

Zhao Lin, in particular, had many empty medicine bottles that were originally used to hold medicine placed next to her.

Failing to advance to the eighth rank was her biggest regret on this trip. Zhao Lin decided to make the most of every minute in the time ahead and cultivate with all her might, striving to break through to the eighth rank when she returned to the shore.

Wow~
The sea breeze kept blowing, and the rolling waves surged on the surface of the sea, making a series of splashing sounds.

boom!
"Ang~"

Suddenly, danger struck; a loud thud came from beneath them.

A gigantic maw burst forth from the water, opening rapidly to swallow the mutated giant tortoise and the three people on it.

The attacker was a colossal creature, four or five hundred meters long and comparable in size to a heavy aircraft carrier—a deep-sea whale.

The giant whale, with its strength reaching the eighth rank, attacked with incredible speed and took advantage of the unexpectedness of the attack, swallowing Lu Chuan and his companions whole in an instant. The three of them ended up inside the whale, in a huge, dark space.

"How brave!"

Ji Ruxue, who had just awakened from her cultivation, was enraged as she watched herself being swallowed by the giant whale. "That damned beast! It really doesn't know its own limitations!"

Before Lu Chuan and Zhao Lin could make their move, Ji Ruxue struck first.

Ji Ruxue's mental power transformed into a long spear resembling a pillar of heaven in the space, and stabbed it fiercely into the stomach wall of the giant whale.

boom!
The psychic spear, unstoppable, pierced straight through the giant whale's body, leaving a huge bloody hole.

"Ang~~"

Instantly, the giant whale's body stiffened, and it let out an extremely shrill scream. Then, the giant whale struggled continuously in the water, its stomach walls writhing rapidly, trying to crush Lu Chuan and the others into minced meat.

However, Ji Ruxue, having landed a successful blow, was not about to give up. She continued to wield her psychic spear, relentlessly thrusting it at the giant whale.

In just a moment, the giant whale was riddled with holes and its body became completely still.
