Chapter 369: Sea Eyes, Where Is the Promising Tsunami?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“The Demons are fighting?” Everyone was shocked.

Black and White Impermanence were slightly curious. They asked, “Usually, big battles are related to war. How did this happen? What did the sea creature do?”

Small fights erupting among the demons were unavoidable. However, group battles were quite rare.

The Fallen Town’s City God smiled awkwardly and shook his head. “That’s not all. The water-related disasters are worse. Although there wasn’t a tsunami, a lot of nearby places were flooded. The fishermen’s boats can’t sail out to fish for sure.”

White Impermanence nodded and said, “These things indeed can’t be helped. I’m afraid you’ll have to rely on the other cultivators for help.”

The Fallen Town’s City God said, “Cultivators tried to help but they were soon chased away. I’m afraid this isn’t an easy case.”

Black and White Impermanence frowned. “This… Something’s wrong. There’s most probably an internal fight under the sea.”

They were deities of the Underworld. Hence, they were only concerned with the Underworld and the ghosts. They did not care much about water-related disasters, and they could not help either.

Li Nianfan smiled and saluted, “Thanks for the escort, Impermanence Sires. Do you want to have a drink at my place?”

“No, no, Mr. Li. We shall leave. If you need anything at all, just contact us through any City God Temple. Feel free to do so, you don’t have to be courteous with us,” Black and White Impermanence saluted.

They could tell that Li Nianfan was just trying to sound polite. They wanted to drink but they had to be considerate.

Li Nianfan said in a pitiful tone, “Too bad then. Next time, next time!”

They walked out from the City God Temple. Li Nianfan looked at Dragin. He asked curiously, “Dragin, do you know what’s going on? Has this happened before?”

Dragin had a rich family in the Eastern Sea. They had endless seafood. They must be affected by the underwater war.

Dragin tilted her head. She seemed to be thinking with her little head. Then, she shook her head. She worriedly said, “No, but my father should be fine, right? If he’s there, how would the Eastern Sea be in chaos?”

She knew that her father would not allow that to happen. After all, the expert was living nearby. Allowing this to happen would affect the expert.

Li Nianfan said, “Let’s go check it out. It won’t take long anyway. It’ll also satisfy my curiosity.”

He yawned and repressed his sleepiness. He rode on his clouds with everyone else on it. They headed to the Clear Moon Lake.

He had a disciplined routine, but that was the first time he stayed up late. He was not used to it.

However, he had to check it out for Dragin’s sake and for the nearby surroundings.

Soon, a golden cloud appeared at the Clear Moon Lake.

The Clear Moon Lake was quiet under the moonlight. The color of the water was darker than the land. It looked like a bottomless lake. The soft ripples reflected under the moonlight.

The surface of the lake was very calm and quiet.

They continued forward. Suddenly, they saw a sudden commotion at the lake. Two figures jumped out of the lake with their claws up high. They were having a standoff.

Li Nianfan focused and saw a big Hairy Crab Demon and a Flower Crab Demon. The two Crab Demons were significantly larger than usual, especially their claws. Their claws were trained to be huge. It was almost larger than their bodies. Moreover, they were shiny and sharp with jagged teeth.

‘If they pinch me with those… I don’t dare to imagine it.’

Li Nianfan licked his lips. He secretly said, “Such a big claw. Must be filled with meat. It’d definitely be more satisfying than biting on a drumstick.”

Dragin said, “Brother, the opponent of that Hairy Crab’s not from the Eastern Sea. I’ve never even seen it before.”

“That’s a Flower Crab.” Li Nianfan analyzed. “It seems the foreign Demons are fighting the local Demons.”

They ignored the two Demons that were fighting with their claws while salivating. They continued forward.

They were soon at the sea.

It was much noisier than at the Clear Moon Lake. They could hear waves splashing from afar. The waves kept splashing with each moment. Waves as high as three meters would appear from time to time. It was highly unusual.

Soon, a body was washed up ashore by the waves.

It was the dead body of a huge King Crab. Although it was dead, it was still fresh.

Li Nianfan said in a pained voice, “Get it out of the water, we can still eat it. Don’t let it die in vain.”

Nanan said at the side, “I know, I know, this is called making death worth it!”

The tides grew stronger as they got closer. The dead bodies of the sea creatures started to increase. There were so many bodies that Li Nianfan did not even have the time to pick all of them. He only picked up the big ones. As for the little ones, he could only let them be.

Meanwhile, they witnessed all sorts of seafood battles.

The battle of the Australian Lobster and the Shrimp. The battle of the Salmon and the Tuna. The battle of the Squid and the Cuttlefish…

It was the battle of the seafood. The sea was in turmoil from all their stirring. Li Nianfan felt very hungry watching them. He could not help but imagine that the sea was a big pot of soup. ‘This pot of seafood soup…delicious and fresh!’

Daji suddenly pointed in a direction and said, “Look at that fish. It’s so colorful.”

Li Nianfan was also surprised. He exclaimed, “Yo, that’s a Saddle Grouper. And it’s a Demon!”

The fish was huge. It was covered in yellow dots with obvious black stripes. It was an extremely expensive fish in his past realm. Ordinary people could not afford it, especially when it was that huge.

It wiggled its tail in the sea, swimming incredibly fast as it kept changing its course. It shot a strong water pillar against a King Crab. The King Crab was hit, causing it to faint in the water.

“Its squirting skill’s so powerful!”

Li Nianfan exclaimed. Then, he added, “This fish would be delicious as sashimi.”

“I’ll get it right away!” Dragin raised her arm and cast a spell. A water ball instantly entrapped the Saddle Grouper. It slowly rose to the air.

The Saddle Grouper was being boastful at that moment. Then, it suddenly noticed that it had been lifted above the water’s surface and was still rising in the air. It looked bewildered.

‘When did I learn how to fly?’

Nanan noticed something, too. She said, “Brother Nianfan, look over there. That crab’s super huge!”

“That’s the Red King Crab.” Li Nianfan was like a walking encyclopedia. He simply introduced, “This crab’s one of the biggest crabs in the world. It’s a fighter, but of course, its delicious meat is at the top of the list.”

Dragin said, “Can’t miss out on that. Get it!”

“Wow, that fish’s full of spikes.”

“Get it.”

“Wow…”

“Get it.”

Everyone went ahead catching the seafood as Li Nianfan introduced the various meats of all sorts of seafood.

The seafood battle suddenly became a delicious seafood auction. In the end, the Seafood Demons noticed them. They panicked and did not dare to fight with all their might anymore. They were scared of being noticed.

Li Nianfan suddenly snapped out of it. “Oh yeah, we aren’t here for seafood.”

Daji and the others stopped searching. Daji said, “This situation’s highly unnatural. Demons from other regions likely invaded the Eastern Sea. And…the battle’s still ongoing.”

Boom!

Suddenly, they heard an explosion from afar. A water pillar soared to the sky like a giant dragon. It was hundreds of meters tall. The surface of the water shook as the waves gushed like crazy.

Boom! Boom!

Several explosions followed the first. It caused huge splashes in the sea.

Splash!

The sea was affected by that. Angry waves overlapped with one another.

Dragin hurriedly said, “That’s my father fighting with someone.”

“We have to go check it out.”

Li Nianfan looked serious. At that point, it would eventually cause a tsunami and it might affect the Fallen Town.

Everyone sped up and headed toward the direction of the explosions.

Daji cast a spell. A blue light shield was formed around everyone.

As they got closer, the Demons started to look different. They saw Demons with human parts. Some Demons even flew into the air, wanting to attack Li Nianfan and the others.

However, they were either turned to ice pops or burned to ash before they could get close. It was inevitable.

Meanwhile, at the border of the sea.

A black hole formed in the deep central part of the sea.

The black hole was huge and extremely creepy. It was overlapped with the seawater but it did not blend in with the sea. Nothing was covering it either. It was oddly embedded in the sea.

If one were to look closely, one would realize that the black hole had a pearl lying in it. A light blue pearl spun slowly with a shiny gleam.

Two figures stood before the black hole. They were slightly panting while looking serious.

They were Ao Cheng and Ao Yun.

Two figures stood in front of them. One of them was an elder with not much hair. His hair was white. He had a single horn on his forehead. He placed his hands behind him and looked at Ao Cheng and Ao Yun calmly.

The other figure was a middle-aged man. His face was gaunt with a coldness to it. He slightly raised his eyebrow and smirked, “Incredible, so incredible. Ao Yun, you’re not dead yet?”

They thought their mission would be a success. They even thought they could have easily killed the Eastern Sea Dragon King. However, they did not expect the sudden change.

Ao Yun was not dead!

The Dragon Killer Poison Bug had been untreatable for countless years. Ao Yun did lose an arm. However, his survival could be described as miraculous.

“You Dragon scums aren’t dead yet, so how can I die?”

Ao Yun coldly stared at them. He looked angry. He lifted his remaining arm and out came a Purple Golden Hammer. Electrical current was coursing through it.

Ao Cheng questioned them in a deep voice, “Ao Feng, why did you betray the Dragon kind?”

“You’re all too ignorant. We Southern Sea Dragons didn’t betray you. We’re simply going along with the future, fighting for the survival of the Dragon kind,” Ao Feng said and shook his head. Then, he said, “If I were to be like you guys, we’d all be dead in the end. Us Southern Sea Dragons being alive is better than the extinction of all Dragons.”

Ao Yun mockingly laughed and said, “You betrayed your own kind to survive. Do you have no shame? You’d be better off dead.”

“You’re a royal prince. Aren’t you embarrassed by what you said?” Ao Cheng saw through it all. “You Southern Sea Dragons just want to rule the sea for yourselves.”

Ao Feng said confidently, “There’s no use for talking. Move, I might spare your lives.”

Ao Cheng looked serious. He yelled, “The Sea Eye has been protected by the Dragons for generations. Are you crazy? How dare you?!”

“Protect? Have you two lost your minds? The realm has changed. What’s worth protecting?”

Ao Feng sounded pissed. Then, he said in a low and condescending voice, “Ao Cheng, Ao Yun, don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. The realm’s very different from what it once was. This is the Dragons’ chance to rise to the top again! This Dragon Soul Pearl given to us by our ancestors is our chance!”

Ao Yun said with seriousness, “Once the Dragon Soul Pearl’s gone, the Sea Eye would lose control. Endless seawater would spread to the land. It would drown half of the realm. People will suffer. Do you think we’ll allow it?”

“Ridiculous. We’re Dragons. Why should we protect the weak Humans?” Ao Feng looked at Ao Yun and Ao Cheng with contempt. “The Heavenly Palace is gone. The realm won’t look out for us, and nobody would care if our people are all killed! The Southern Sea Dragons will have the Dragon Soul Pearl!”

The elder at the side said, “Prince, we’ve already wasted a lot of time. There’s no use talking to them.”

“Ha, anyone who gets in my way will die!” Ao Feng growled and reached out with his hands. A crystal spear immediately appeared in it.

The spear launched forth like a dragon. It immediately caused endless waves. A giant water dragon appeared.

Ao Yun leaped to the air with his Purple Golden Hammer. Electricity surrounded him and attacked the water dragon on its head.

Kaboom!

Countless strikes of lightning went towards Ao Feng and that elder!

Roar!

The elder sneered. He transformed into a hundred-meter-long Black Dragon. It looked cold and prestigious. He flicked his tail and the sea was instantly turned over.

Its huge claws lashed at Ao Yun while its tail flicked toward Ao Cheng!

Ao Cheng and Ao Yun had no choice. They also transformed into Dragons. They roared and fought the elder.

The three Dragons spun around in the sea. They flew out of the sea without casting spells. Their bodies clashed and affected everything else around them.

Explosions ensued.

Black Dragon said, “Prince, I’ll delay them. You go get the Dragon Soul Pearl!”

“Yeah, right. You?” Ao Cheng scoffed and flicked his tail. He was going to attack Ao Feng.

The Black Dragon opened its mouth and out came a golden mark. The golden mark expanded, and soon, it was the size of a mountain. It separated the seawater, weighing down on Ao Cheng!

Ao Cheng was blocked by that attack. He was also stuck and could not move.

Ao Yun did not look happy at all. He wanted to stop Ao Feng but was busy with the Black Dragon.

Ao Feng sneered at Ao Yun and Ao Cheng. He walked freely towards the Sea Eye like a champion. Soon, he was in front of the light blue pearl.

Ao Cheng was very nervous. He scolded, “Ao Feng, think about it. Once you get it out, the consequences would be unbearable! You can’t take it, you really can’t take it. Stop, listen to me!”

It was a serious sin to upset the expert!

Of course, Ao Feng did not care.

“Humans have been the elites for so many years. It’s time they stop being the main focus. Today, I, Ao Feng, will take the pearl and drown the Humans! Dragons will rise again. This will be a legendary moment in Dragon history. It’ll be passed down for generations to come.”

He looked excited. He grinned and reached out without hesitation. His arm transformed into a Dragon claw and he took the Dragon Soul Pearl.

“No—”

Ao Cheng and Ao Yun looked horrified. They used all their powers to get rid of the Black Dragon. They swam toward the Sea Eye as fast as they could.

Ao Cheng said in a pained tone, “Brother Yun, goodbye. I’ll block the Sea Eye with my body. The Dragons are going to rely on you from now on.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? I’m fatter than you. I’m naturally the better choice to block the Sea Eye. Move aside, don’t get in my way!”

“Fat?! You only have one arm, how are you going to block it? Hurry up and move!”

The two Dragons did not budge. They surrounded the black hole and were ready to die.

Ao Feng held the Dragon Soul Pearl and mockingly laughed at Ao Cheng and Ao Yun. “So touching, you two fools. Hahaha…”

However, his laughter gradually froze and sounded awkward. Then, it vanished.

He stared at the Sea Eye, then looked at the Dragon Soul Pearl in his hand. He looked confused.

‘Sea Eye, buddy, what’s going on with you?

‘Where’s the tsunami as promised?

‘Is it broken?’

Ao Feng and Ao Yun laid on top of the Sea Eye. They were also stumped. They all looked at each other.

‘Perhaps this is a fake Sea Eye, or maybe…that’s a fake Dragon Soul Pearl?’
