Chapter 144

After checking again and confirming there was nothing, Bo Sai Xi attributed the recent palpitation to coincidence, and thus turned off the water surface mirror.

Seeing the harmonious and beautiful Sea God Island and its inhabitants, she revealed a sincere smile.

Her mission was to protect Sea God Island and its people, then wait for the Sea God's successor to appear, or for someone capable of taking over her position to appear, so as to continue fulfilling the Sea God's inheritance mission.

"After all these years, Tang Chen, where exactly have you gone? Have you become a god? Are you still alive?"

Suddenly, her expression became sorrowful and sentimental, a figure of a person appeared in her mind, causing her to sigh involuntarily.

This person was her beloved, but unfortunately, in pursuit of godhood, they have not seen each other for a hundred years.

She truly misses him, because that man said that if he were still alive, he would definitely come back to find her.

But a hundred years have passed, and there is still no news; she once suspected that Tang Chen had died.

Although Tang Chen is one of the Three Ultimate Douluo, the strongest on land.

Yet before the gods, he remains as weak as an ant.

However, until she sees Tang Chen's corpse, she still does not believe that he is dead.

At the same time, Li Fei and Gu Yue have arrived at the Magic Whale Sea.

The Magic Whale Sea, a mysterious place hidden deep in the azure ocean, its name, like this sea itself, is shrouded under a suffocating black cloud.

The heavy gloom seems to be the eternal companion of this sea; sunlight has vanished here, while shadows are frequent guests.

Furious winds howl, waves surge, each impact of the surf seems to echo the roar of a deep-sea demon beast in the ears.

The seawater in this area becomes abnormally cold, as if even the heart of the ocean were frozen by some indescribable force.

Lurking in the deep sea, the Magic Whale King, with its over three hundred thousand years of age and a million years of cultivation, silently rules over this watery realm where death and mystery coexist.

Its deep eyes, through the dim water layers, seem able to discern the fate of every intruder.

Over the years, many human vessels, if unfortunately losing their way and entering this forbidden zone, will face endless terror.

Within the domain of the deep-sea Magic Whale King, water currents shift unpredictably, like a vast labyrinth, and each passage could be a deadly trap.

Countless shipwrecks lie asleep on that black seabed, serving as a solemn accompaniment to the Magic Whale King's majesty, and also as the most direct warning of this sea.

On the sea surface, dark clouds press down, the sea wind howls, the waves seem alive—sometimes frenzied, sometimes subdued—accompanied by the aura of the Magic Whale King in the deep sea, turning into waves of chilling pressure.

Seagulls no longer fly over this sea, and even marine life avoids it; only those who press forward bravely, or unfortunately end up here, can witness the true face of this sea.

In this Magic Whale Sea, the boundary between life and death blurs; each breath feels like a race against the god of death.

The deep sea's silence contrasts sharply with the clamor beneath the dark clouds; this is a realm belonging solely to the Magic Whale King, and any intruder will be devoured by its endless darkness.

Gazing at this scene, Li Fei slightly narrowed his eyes; the oppressive and heavy aura here surpassed that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Perhaps because he is a land-dwelling creature, he inherently dislikes the ocean, and moreover, in his past life he also suffered from deep-sea phobia.

Facing this desolate sea where not a ghost is in sight, unaware of how far it lies from land, that sense of loneliness suddenly swept over his heart.

"The formation is indeed intimidating; others coming here would really die, but unfortunately it encountered us."

"Your husband is down there; shall I summon him now?" Gu Yue raised her eyebrows and said.

Seek Li Fei's opinion.

Li Fei stared fixedly at the before him, no need sea.

He curled the corner of his mouth and said: "Good, let it come out; I can't wait to fight it, but before that, first set up a formation in the surrounding sea to conceal what happens here." As he spoke, he mobilized the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique from within his body, formed a secret hand seal, and in the next second, with the appearance of the Eastern Azure Dragon phantom, a cyan energy barrier instantly spread, covering the entire Ink Whale Sea and the surrounding seas.

As long as their battle area stays within the formation's range, no matter how fiercely they fight, nothing will leak out; if someone uses an object to spy here, they will only see the normal scene that ought to be in the sea.

This is the might of the formation.

Such a formation, he naturally also set up at the Li family headquarters.

Moreover, the living beings within this formation can receive the formation's might to gain an enhancement, and this enhancement can be stacked together with other enhancements!

This is truly terrifying.

Imagine that.

Li Fei released his full power, all forces stacking together; with a strike of his staff, one wonders whether a deep-sea magic whale fish king with a million years of cultivation could withstand it.

The next second, the Azure Dragon Staff appeared from his hand, flew into midair and instantly became huge! long! thick! wide!

It had the momentum of a pillar holding up the sky! Extremely shocking!

The entire huge Azure Dragon Staff was thrust directly into the seawater; its terrifying force churned the sea, forming a sea dragon vortex.

Gu Yue, meanwhile, took this opportunity to use her mental power to stimulate the huge body beneath the sea, causing it to appear.

Beneath the deep sea, countless members of the deep-sea magic whale clan were startled by the sudden churning of the sea, and they all fled from the center, swimming toward the outer areas.

At the same time, the ruler slumbering in the deep-sea territory opened his eyes: "What powerful mental strength."

The next second, it felt that its own sea domain had indeed been stirred up—undoubtedly a provocation.

As for provocation, it had never feared it.

Thus, it charged toward the sea surface with angry emotion.

The profound sea was suddenly torn apart by an indescribable force; foam rolled on the surface, as if the sea god were angrily panting.

The seawater violently surged, as if a colossal beast were about to burst out of the sea.

People's gazes locked tightly onto that turbulent surge, their hearts tightening in unison.

Suddenly, an earth-shattering roar came from the depths of the seabed, like a soul escaping the abyss bellowing.

Following that roar, a Magic Whale King of enormous size burst furiously through the sea surface; its body was like a small mountain, its skin covered in thick black scales.

Its eyes burned with flame, as if they could see through the depths of the soul.

The Magic Whale King opened its blood‑filled maw, swallowing countless torrents of seawater, then fiercely flicked its tail like an iron whip lashing the sea surface, raising hundred‑zhang waves.

That wave, like a moving mountain range, spread wildly in all directions, instantly engulfing everything around.

Before this wave, everything was as fragile as a toy, mercilessly swept into the vortex and instantly sunk.

The magic whales on the sea surface panicked, desperately flapping their wings, trying to escape the area about to be swallowed by the huge wave.

The Magic Whale King's fury not only shocked the sea surface, but also shot straight up to the heavens.

Its appearance made the clouds in the sky tremble, as if a sea monster were challenging the sky.

Dark clouds covered the sky, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled; the storm and the fury of the giant whale intertwined, forming an apocalyptic scene.
