Chapter 121: Beast Eye

The Yellow Sea is a marginal sea of the Pacific Ocean, located on the continental shelf. The seabed is flat, with an average depth of only 44 meters—such deep cracks simply cannot form there.
The only explanation is that it was torn apart by the Great Heaven-Reversing Array set up by the Great Immortal and others last time, creating such a rift. However, even though the Great Heaven-Reversing Array covered hundreds of miles of sea area, only this place was torn apart, proving there must be serious issues beneath the sea.
This crack is hundreds of meters long and unfathomably deep.
The Great Immortal, the Great Demon, the Great God, and Chen Xiao carefully dived into the crack. At this point, it no longer mattered who protected whom. Chen Xiao’s agility underwater far surpassed that of these three superpowered individuals, giving him a better chance of escaping if danger arose.
Moreover, with the existence of the Supreme God’s Space, Chen Xiao could leave at any time with ease.
As soon as they entered the crack, the water pressure around them surged sharply. The Great Immortal and the others adjusted their spiritual energy slightly and quickly adapted. Chen Xiao, however, felt nothing—such pressure was instantly dissipated by the power of the Water Supreme God.
“Be careful; the situation here is very strange,” the Great Demon warned. His mental power had spread over a radius of hundreds of meters, monitoring the surroundings. After all, as a superpowered individual, his mental power was far stronger than Chen Xiao’s, even underwater.
The other three nodded. The Great Immortal kept Chen Xiao close, as he was their chosen successor and must not be injured here.
The four of them slowly descended along the edge of the crack, as relying on such a boundary was the safest option—this way, they wouldn’t be surrounded from all sides if danger arose.
“How deep is this crack? I know the power of the Great Heaven-Reversing Array well—it certainly couldn’t create such a terrifying crack on the seabed,” the Great Immortal transmitted mentally after descending nearly 500 meters.
“The Heavenly Dragon’s Secret must truly be below. Let’s speed up,” the Great God said.
The Great Demon didn’t speak. He pulled Chen Xiao along, and their bodies were instantly enveloped by a strange force, causing their descent speed to increase by more than ten times. The Great Immortal and the Great God also rushed after without hesitation, their figures turning into afterimages.
It was then that Chen Xiao realized what superpowered individuals’ strength truly was. Hundreds of meters beneath the sea, the Great Demon’s formidable power had parted the seawater, creating a clear area.
In such deep waters, there was no light at all. The four of them relied on their powerful mental senses to perceive their surroundings.
Suddenly, the Great God transmitted a mental signal.
“Old demon, be careful below you—something is coming up.”
“Just a small snake. No need to worry,” the Great Demon snorted. With a single press of his hand, a shrill scream echoed, and Chen Xiao seemed to smell blood.

“Old demon, if you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!” The Great Immortal waved his hand, and a green ripple emerged from it, instantly erasing all the bloodshed around them. “That deep-sea python just now had no spiritual energy at all, yet its physical strength was comparable to that of a second-tier martial warrior. Old demon, be careful here—there might be even more powerful beings beneath.” The Great Immortal couldn’t help but rebuke him. The Great Demon merely snorted coldly without responding. But by this time, the four of them had slowed down; it was no longer clear how many meters deep they were beneath the sea. Hearing what the Great Immortal said, Chen Xiao’s eyes lit up. A deep-sea python without any spiritual energy, yet its physical strength could match that of a second-tier martial warrior—just how vast must its life essence be? It would surely far exceed that of a second-tier martial warrior. At this moment, Chen Xiao felt a new kind of anticipation for the world below. “Elder Great Demon, I can handle it myself,” Chen Xiao said softly to the Great Demon. The Great Demon was momentarily stunned before nodding and releasing his grip on Chen Xiao’s arm. Noticing Chen Xiao’s determination, the Great Immortal and the Divine Lord also nodded involuntarily. Birds under the protection of their wings can never truly fly on their own. Below this crack, more and more deep-sea pythons kept attacking the four of them. These pythons had the same strength as those killed by the Great Demon earlier, with physical strength comparable to that of second-tier martial warriors. Their bodies were as thick as an adult’s thigh and nearly ten meters long—rarely seen on land. Their bodies were oddly flattened, allowing them to easily withstand the pressure of the surrounding seawater. Sensing these approaching deep-sea pythons, the Great Demon snorted coldly and pushed with one hand. A terrifying force surged from the seawater, slamming into the group of swimming pythons. Hiss… After a series of pained cries, countless pythons were shattered to pieces by this terrifying force. The Great Immortal was already prepared, but just as he was about to act, Chen Xiao was faster. With a wave of his hand, a green ripple shot out, swiftly transforming the seawater in the blood mist area into green water that absorbed life energy. As soon as the green water appeared, the blood mist around it was instantly absorbed, leaving no trace. It then turned back into a green ripple and returned to Chen Xiao’s hand, which sent it to the Main God’s Space, where the Black Tortoise Egg was located. “Good!” The Great Immortal’s eyes shone. What Chen Xiao had done was much cleaner and more efficient than his own. Even he couldn’t eliminate so much bloodstained energy so quickly. Seeing that Chen Xiao could easily deal with the bloodstained energy, the Great Demon became even more unrestrained, unleashing waves of terrifying force. Within fifty meters, all the pythons turned into blood mist. Chen Xiao wasn’t slow either. His cultivation had reached the fifth level, and his understanding of the “Control” technique had deepened further. His control over the power of the nine-colored water had reached an entirely new level.

Chen Xiao spread his fingers, and five streams of blue light flowed from between them, quickly weaving into a massive blue net that covered an area of fifty meters in the blink of an eye. In an instant, all the blood mist was absorbed by the blue water. Blood, being a powerful form of life energy, was naturally absorbed by the blue water. The Great Demon and Chen Xiao worked in perfect harmony—almost as soon as the Great Demon struck to eliminate the water pythons, Chen Xiao’s blue water absorbed all the blood mist and energy around them, leaving no trace behind. This was the seabed, and Chen Xiao’s strength here was almost on par with that of a sixth-tier powerhouse. Although these water pythons posed no threat to the Great Immortal and others, the underwater world was full of the unknown, and the unknown was always the most terrifying. Though the water pythons themselves were not a threat, their blood could attract other unknown creatures. Super-tier powerhouses lived long lives precisely because they knew to be cautious and valued their own lives even more. The deeper down they went, the stronger the water pythons became. Eventually, the Great Immortal and the Great God joined the fight to eliminate the water pythons, yet Chen Xiao remained unfazed, continuously absorbing the life essence of the slain pythons to replenish the Black Tortoise eggs in his main godly space. “Ahh!” Suddenly, an angry roar came from beneath the water, and a massive surge of life energy rushed upward. “A water python that’s almost transformed into a dragon?” The Great Immortal sneered coldly. “But it’s still just a python, not a dragon.” Chen Xiao sent his mental energy downward, capturing every detail of the creature rising from below. This thirty-meter-long beast was similar to other water pythons, except it had two sharp protrusions on its head and two thin whiskers by its mouth—traits of a dragon. Yet it hadn’t yet transformed; it was still just a water python. Its strength was comparable to that of a seventh-tier martial warrior, and once it transformed, it would reach the eighth tier. There was a huge gap between the seventh and eighth tiers that was difficult to cross. “It seems the king of the underwater world must be this one.” A strange cackling sound came from the Great Immortal’s mind. With a single gesture, the green short sword in his hand turned into a wave of blue light, piercing through the head of this seventh-tier water python. The python was almost instantly killed by the Great Immortal. Seeing this opportunity, Chen Xiao hesitated not at all. He sent out his blue water, instantly dissolving the python’s body and absorbing all its life energy. “Chen Xiao, you…” The Great Immortal was stunned to see Chen Xiao destroy the python’s body so quickly. After all, such a python was full of treasures. “Uh, sorry, I’m just used to it,” Chen Xiao said, instinctively touching the back of his head with an apologetic smile. “Enough, old madman, stop messing around. There are heavenly dragon treasures hidden down here. What’s the need for just a seventh-tier python’s body?” The Great God was somewhat dissatisfied with the Great Immortal’s attitude. “You’re right.” The Great Immortal also felt embarrassed. After this seventh-tier water python died, all the surrounding pythons scattered, and the crack seemed to have reached its end.

Just as Chen Xiao and the others’ feet were about to touch the ground, their bodies suddenly became lighter, and the seawater around them vanished abruptly. A soft light came into their sight.
“This place…”
With their feet on the ground, the great immortal instinctively raised his head and saw that the seawater was five meters above him, shimmering with ripples.
It seemed they had arrived in another world, similar to the difference between the mundane world and the world of supernatural powers. Yet the seawater above their heads told them that they were still on Earth.
“This is…”
Opposite the four of them was a huge wall, carved with 108 various exotic beasts. These beasts could no longer be found on Earth, and it was even difficult to see them in the world of supernatural powers.
Each of these 108 carved beasts had eyes that shone with lively light, as if they were alive and could break through the wall at any moment.
The moment Chen Xiao and the others arrived, the 108 beasts and their 216 eyes seemed to focus their gaze on them all at once.
Even Chen Xiao couldn’t help but feel a chill.
…
