The Embers of King's Teyvat Journey

"Know!"

Like the Ice Abyss Apostles, the azure apostles named "Torrent" leaped to the top of the ice wall and stood in order.

"Boom!" The roar of the water continued for a long time, as if it was angry that it had been led here from its original path.

"Be quiet!"

The arms of the Abyss Apostles emitted an even more dazzling azure light, and a large amount of water elemental power seeped into the rushing water, becoming the force that guided the water forward.

The undulating waves calmed down, and the white that had been revealed by the surging gradually turned into a clear, transparent aquamarine.

The waterfall at its source is still fierce, but once the water, which flows like a wild horse, falls into the frozen riverbed, it becomes as docile as a sheep.

They flowed smoothly and orderly along the ice walls on both sides, all the way into the huge pit that had been carved out at the end of the ice walls.

The crater has a radius of about 100 meters and a depth of tens of meters. It lies silently on the ground, like the gaping maw of some terrifying creature.

"Boom!"

The sound of rushing water rang out again, and the gaping maw had something to fill its mouth, but this time no one paid any attention.

The empty pit turned a deep blue color, and this blue hue, mixed with surging waves, grew higher and higher until it filled the entire pit into a calm lake.

"What geniuses! But how are they going to stop the water flow now?" Ember, who saw this from afar, couldn't help but clap his hands in praise.

Drawing groundwater is indeed a good method, but the biggest problem is how to prevent the drawn groundwater from running rampant.

"Don't worry, there are plenty of people in the Abyss Order who can control this level of tension." The black-robed man had long since returned to normal, and upon hearing Ember's words, he answered his question.

"The Abyss Order... when did this force appear..." Hisa still looked shocked.

Rather, it's more accurate to say that the look of shock on her face has never stopped since she arrived here. She was shocked every time she saw the sun in the sky, shocked every time she saw the densely packed houses on the ground, and shocked every time she saw the lake being dug out before her.

She felt she had been more shocked today than in all her previous thousands of years combined, even though she had spent 99% of those thousands of years in a state of madness.

"They're here!" Ember and the man in black robes didn't care about Hisa's shock; they'd become more oblivious after being shocked a few times.

They both sensed something and turned their heads in one direction. There, a four-armed monster was floating slowly forward in the air.

“Sinner.” Several apostles who were watching the scene bowed their heads slightly at the figure in the air.

"It seems everything is finished." The Baptist of Deep Sin nodded, looking at the steady flow of water below and the vast lake about to overflow.

"Everyone, get out of the way!" The Baptist of Deep Sin shouted to the apostles beneath him, his arms outstretched.

Without hesitation, the apostles dashed off from their original positions to a more distant location.

"Boom!" The sound of rushing water grew louder and louder, and the four arms of the body of the Deep Sin Baptist began to swing rhythmically.

As it swayed, the circular magic array floating behind it also changed. The array had three key points, which were initially dark, but now gradually turned into a frosty white.

The circular magic array behind the Baptist of Deep Sin split apart, turning into countless sharp, prismatic fragments.

These sharp fragments, along with the interlocking array points, drive the ice elemental power within the Deep Sin Baptist's body, his surroundings, and even the earth's veins.

The fragments flew out and hovered silently above the rushing water, motionless.

"Frosty rain!"

"Shhhhh!"

Countless tiny, frost-white rays of light fell like a fine rain from the fragments of the magic array scattered throughout the sky.

From a distance, it gave one the illusion that a heavy snowfall had occurred.

The falling light is tangible ice elemental force; once it touches the water, it freezes a large area of ​​the surrounding water into solid ice.

The "snowstorm," composed entirely of ice elemental force, froze the entire turbulent water flow in an instant, while many of the leaping waves on the surface remained in their airborne positions.

"Yi Bing, rise!"

The frost and rain ceased to fall, replaced by countless shimmering white lights in the sky. Among them, the three array eyes behind the Baptist of Deep Sin were particularly prominent.

Each fragment of the magic circle transformed into the extended arms of the Baptist of Deep Sin, and together they lifted the entire frozen river.

The Baptist of Deep Sin swung all four arms in unison, and the frozen river, grasped by an invisible force, was thrown into a distant, cold, and desolate land.

"Thump!" The frozen river hit the ground with a loud thud.

No one cared about the sounds these huge blocks of ice made; they were more concerned about the "crack" sound from the gap.

"fire!"

With a loud shout from the Baptism of Deep Sin, the floating fragments returned to its back and coalesced, transforming back into a magic array with three key points.

The magic circle changed from frost white to fiery red, and the Baptist of Deep Sin was enveloped in a layer of oppressive heat.

"Use fire!"

The Baptist of Deep Sin stretches out one arm and clenches it tightly, causing the frost on the distant gap to melt away.

Moreover, countless plumes of scorching steam, accompanied by hissing and boiling sounds, spewed out from the spreading cracks.

But that wasn't enough. Behind the Baptist of Deep Sin, the three array eyes blazed with flames, and the rock walls at the distant breach began to melt into lava from the transmitted heat.

The magma contracted inward, evaporating the river water it had drawn in and occupying the passage it had carved out.

The lava had spread to an unknown depth into the cave walls; the observing apostles only knew that it was definitely compressing the space for the water flow.

The Baptist of Deep Sin felt that the thickness was about right, so two of the three array eyes behind it turned aquamarine again.

"laugh--"

The fiery, writhing lava quickly turned black, and large amounts of water gushed out from the lava from the inside out, solidifying the magma into hard rock.

The thickness of the lava belt is now equal to the thickness of the obsidian belt. Just how thick? Nobody knows, and nobody cares as long as it blocks groundwater.

"knock off."

The Baptist of Deep Sin exhaled a deep breath of foul air, and the terrifying aura emanating from its body dissipated, while the bright circular magic circle that had risen behind it dimmed.

"Amazing! I never imagined the Abyss Order would have something so terrifying." Ember exclaimed repeatedly from afar. Putting everything else aside, in terms of sheer spectacle, it was top-notch!

Chapter 684 Meeting an acquaintance

2024-05-23

"By the way, when will that apostle arrive? How long have we been waiting?"

After the spectacular lake-building performance, Ember was utterly bored. He was waiting for the Abyss Apostle to come over, but after waiting for so long, he hadn't seen a single Abyss Mage, let alone an Abyss Apostle.

Ember suspected that this guy might have forgotten about his group. So, he rubbed his hands together and whispered to the man in black:

"Hey! Are you still waiting or...?"

"Let's go." The man in black glanced at Yu Jin and strode forward.

"I didn't expect you to be so bold. I thought you would stay put!" Yu Jin hurriedly followed, jumped up and patted the man in black robes on the shoulder.

"My master...we...we really don't need to worry? These monsters seem very strong."

Ember and the man in black robes swaggered forward, causing Shisa behind them to flinch in fear. The shock she felt from the Baptist of Deep Sin's attack was no less than the combined shock from her previous attacks!

This was the first time in Shisa's memory that she had ever seen someone with such terrifying power—the guys in Gül City were far inferior.

The strength of the powerful figures in Gül City was still within Hisa's comprehension, but the Baptists of Deep Sin were completely unreasonable.

Looking at the huge, long blocks of ice piled up in the distance, freezing the river, is this something that humans can do?

So Hisa is panicking now because the Abyss Apostles told them not to wander around before they left.

"What are you panicking about? I'm not afraid, why are you so scared? Isn't it said that Zhenling trusts its master completely? You must be a fake Zhenling."

Yu Jin patted the bottle on Hisa's face and comforted her.

“There’s really nothing to worry about.” The man in black robes spoke as briefly as before, but his words were filled with boundless confidence.

"You seem to know exactly where we're going?" Yu Jin glanced at the black-robed man at the front. From the beginning, he had been walking in front, with Yu Jin following behind.

The key point is that his steps were very smooth and continuous, without the slightest hesitation.

“That’s right, we can separate now.” The man in black paused for a moment, then continued walking.

"But I don't know the way around here, so let's go together. May I ask what you need the Abyss Order for?"

Yu Jin watched the black-robed man striding forward with great interest and asked curiously.

"What do you want with the Abyss Order? And why hire so many people at once?" The man in black robes glanced at Ember. Twenty or so Abyss Apostles and three Baptists of Deep Sin—this would be a powerful force anywhere.

So the question is, what does Ember need such powerful energy for?

"I'm not sure. At first, I just wanted to find a few people to keep things going and save face. But now it seems like I could try killing a god?"

Yu Jin stroked his chin, causing both the man in the black robe and Hisa to stop in their tracks.

"I...my master...what did you just say? Why...can't I understand you, Shisa?"

Hisa's voice was trembling, and even the bottle outside was shaking.

She dares to slay a god without even asking; what kind of master does she follow?

"Haha, that's ambitious. Don't forget to let me know when the time comes, I'll come and take a look." For the first time, the black-robed man's rough voice showed emotion as he smiled at Yu Jin.

Of course, because of his cloak, Ember saw nothing.

"And what about you? I've stated my purpose; it's your turn to speak."

"Looking for someone, an Abyss Singer, and..." The man in black robes looked at the rows of houses in the distance, where he could vaguely see humans walking among them, completely different from the Abyss monsters.

"What else?"

"nothing."

"Bang!"

Yu Jin almost turned red-hot; he hated riddle-makers more than anything. And now this guy was deliberately leaving things unfinished right in front of him.

"We're here!" Just as Ember was about to whack the man in black on the head, he saw him stop in his tracks.

Ahead of them, a raised truncated pyramid appeared, with steps leading up to its top.

Ember was drawn to the strange building. He reached out and made a grasping motion in the air, and tiny, almost invisible ripples appeared on his fingers.

"The space here... seems a bit fragile." Looking at the ripples on his fingers, Yu Jin pondered for a moment and said.

"Is the space a bit fragile?" Shisa imitated Ember's earlier movements, spinning around a few times, but then she didn't notice anything.
