"So soon?"
Long Chen was shocked. He had only been in the Milky Way for less than half a day and was still at its edge. Logically, the Demon Eye shouldn't exist.
As Long Chen and the others stood at the front of the warship, they suddenly saw a huge vortex in the distance, pulling the warship forward. With such immense force, the warship was completely out of control.
"No, it's not the Demon Eye."
Long Chen's heart raced wildly. Although this vortex was huge, it didn't carry the evil aura of the Demon Eye.
"Boom boom boom... At
that moment, giant fish burst out of the water, stirring up waves for thousands of miles. Each fish was like a towering mountain, enormous and immense.
These giant fish have terrifying auras and should reach the Realm King realm by human cultivators' standards.
As the giant fish emerged, the water surface began to boil, and more and more beings surged out, mixed with various sea monsters. Many had the aura of sea monsters, rivaling those of a three-flower-level Earth Venerable.
Within billions of miles of water, fish and demons were mixed together, as if startled, darting up into the sky.
"Oh no, our warship is out of control. If we get mixed in, we'll be smashed to pieces." Xia Chen's expression changed.
Above the Milky Way, there are strange spatial laws. Many times, people cannot take off. If the warship shatters, they will fall into the sea. Even if they don't sink into the fish's belly, they will be crushed by these terrifying creatures.
For a moment, everyone panicked; they had never seen such a terrifying sight. At that moment, their feet suddenly sank beneath their feet, and a tremendous force pushed the warship into the air.
"There's something underwater, grab the railing."
Long Chen's heart was pounding wildly; he had never encountered such a terrifying sight before. He told everyone to hold onto the warship and not be thrown off.
"Boom!"
As Long Chen finished speaking, the warship was thrown into the void. The immense force made everyone's blood surge with energy, and under everyone's astonished gazes, the flying boat soared thousands of miles into the sky.
"Buzz!"
Everyone looked down at the sea below, then saw a scene they would never forget for a lifetime: a huge mouth from the depths of the sea, enveloping billions of miles of space.
The endless giant fish and demon beasts were swallowed by the huge mouth, leaving Long Chen and the others scared stiff.
Fortunately, Long Chen and the others were outside the Heaven-Swallowing Maw and were not swallowed.
"Boom!"
Everyone watched in horror as the giant mouth closed and slowly retreated into the sea, where terrifying waves surged above the water.
"Rumble... The
warship rapidly descended. Xia Chen activated a talisman to slow the ship's descent, missing the crest of the waves and descending along the slope of the waves.
"Boom!"
Even so, the warship still shook, and many cracks appeared on its surface, nearly shattered by the terrifying giant wave.
When the huge mouth disappeared, the waves slowly subsided, and everyone was stunned.
They were considered worldly people, but had never witnessed such a terrifying sight. Billions of terrifying beings were actually devoured like this? You have to know, there are countless beings among them who are like Three Flower-level Earth Venerables.
For a moment, everyone looked at each other, almost in unison:
"What is that?"
Everyone's gaze turned to Long Chen at the same time.
"It's a whale, said to be the largest creature in the world, bigger than the Kunpeng and even the dragon." Long Chen took a deep breath and said.
"Bigger than the Dragon Kunpeng?" No way, right? The Kunpeng was originally formed from a giant fish, known as the overlord of the sea. How could it tolerate a creature larger than that? Guo Ran couldn't help but say.
"I'm not sure either. In an ancient classic at Lingxiao Academy, there is a passage like this.
Speaking of all living beings under heaven and earth, none is greater than the whale; some dwell in the sea, hide in the sky, those in the sea are called sea whales, those in the heavens are called heavenly whales.
The sea whale is fierce and unforgettable, preying on the Sea King and swallowing the sun and moon in its mouth.
The Heavenly Whale roams beyond the heavenly way; only those with fate can see it. Its size surpasses the nine heavens. Long Chen said.
"Greater than nine days?"
Everyone was startled again. What could possibly grow that big? How is this possible?
"I can't say for sure what that thing is, only speculation. After all, ancient texts are all legends, and hardly anyone believes them anymore.
Whether it's really a sea whale or not, I really can't be sure. Anyway, once I say it, you can just listen to it. Long Chen shrugged and said.
After all, Long Chen only knew that vague introduction, without even describing the shape or characteristics of the sea whale, making it impossible to judge.
Moreover, the moment the mouth opened just now, space distorted, and they could only vaguely make out a huge mouth, because it was so huge that they couldn't describe its shape.
But after that moment of terror, everyone felt even more awe for this Milky Way. There were countless secrets hidden in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; what they knew was just a drop in the ocean.
Once the storm had completely calmed, Xia Chen determined the direction and continued sailing, but everyone became even more cautious.
At the same time, they finally understood why the stronger the cultivator, the more afraid they were to cross the Heavenly River.
If targeted by that huge mouth, even a Celestial Venerable would likely die on the spot, with no chance to struggle.
"Don't be afraid, just walk as usual. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you can't avoid it. What is meant to happen will come sooner or later." Long Chen smiled at Xia Chen.
Long Chen knew his bad luck was soaring, and it had nothing to do with caution or caution. He could just charge in with his eyes closed, and wherever he went, it would be fine.
With Long Chen's words, Xia Chen began sailing at a normal speed, and during the voyage, he and Guo Ran reinforced the warship.
However, to everyone's comfort, the rest of the journey was very peaceful. Occasionally, they encountered some terrifying demon beasts, but nothing dangerous happened.
There was even one time when the warship passed right over a giant creature's head. The giant just glanced at them from the surface and then ignored them.
However, not all creatures within the Milky Way are ferocious; sometimes dolphins chase the warship and play, showing great friendliness toward everyone.
Strangely, since these dolphins appeared, they have never encountered a fierce sea monster again.
Long Chen had a thought, instructing Xia Chen to steer the warship in the direction the dolphins were heading. Long Chen felt that the area where these kind-hearted beings were located should be very peaceful, which would help them avoid certain dangers.
Just as Long Chen had predicted, he sailed for a full ten days without encountering any danger. However, on the eleventh day, Xia Chen was unable to do soI keep following them, because if I keep following, the direction changes.
In the end, Xia Chen could only sail in his own direction. Soon, the dolphins stopped chasing and swam back and forth in the distance, eventually disappearing from sight.
As the warship moved forward, the seawater ahead quickly shifted from deep blue to black—a terrifying kind of black.
"Boss, another vortex has appeared ahead." Xia Chen cried out in surprise, and everyone instantly became tense.
"This is the true Demon Eye."
Long Chen looked at the massive vortex in the distance and waved his hand: "Let's go and see it." "
