Chapter 23: Are you going to hit me? The Territory of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King

On the great sea.

Zhexian did not look for a ship to cross the sea; instead, he skimmed just above the surface of the water, flying rapidly.

His expression was calm and indifferent, and a faint smile always lingered at the corners of his mouth.

"This place seems to be just an ordinary ocean?"

"It doesn't even compare to a single spray of foam in the Boundary Sea."

A flash of memory crossed Zhexian's pupils once more.

The Boundary Sea of his past life was not an ordinary ocean, but a cosmic sea formed by the convergence of countless shattered ancient worlds.

These broken worlds formed the individual sprays of foam in the Boundary Sea, and each spray carried the aura of different Daos and the traces of billions of years of time.

By comparison, the sea of the Douluo Continent appeared plain and unremarkable.

"It won't be long before I reach the depths of the East Sea, right?"

"Hm? That is..."

Zhexian gazed into the distance.

The East Sea!

A paradise for Sea Soul Beasts, where a giant shark was leisurely lying on the beach sunbathing; its size was comparable to a small island, and its entire body was as white as jade.

Suddenly, it sensed a dangerous ripple approaching.

It opened its eyes abruptly, and a youth in white clothes streaked across the sky, landing right beside it!

The youth held a Jade Flute, his appearance was peerlessly handsome, and a wisp of ethereal pink petals lingered around him, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal world.

"What a handsome human, even a bit more handsome than this king!"

The giant white shark was stunned, its brain short-circuiting instantly.

At this moment, the youth suddenly spoke: "Do you know where Sea God Island is?"

Upon hearing this, the giant white shark immediately changed its expression, opening its blood-red maw: "Human, this king warns you. No matter what your goal is, don't even think about targeting Sea God Island!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Zhexian raised his eyebrows, revealing an expression of keen interest.

"So you know the location of Sea God Island?"

"Beg me for it!"

The giant white shark raised its massive head.

The next moment, a massive ball of flame instantly engulfed it.

A True Phoenix cried out!

The scorching high temperature caused the entire sea to become distorted.

"Damn it..."

The giant white shark rolled about, howling in pain.

In less than half a minute, the giant white shark was already on the verge of death.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you..."

"Three hundred miles to the southeast of the East Sea, that is the territory of Sea God Island!"

Zhexian nodded upon hearing this and withdrew the True Phoenix Flame from the giant white shark's body, but a small True Phoenix Shadow still entered the shark's body.

Zhexian withdrew his gaze, his figure flying rapidly toward the southeast.

Behind him were countless petal afterimages.

After he left, the giant white shark jumped directly into the sea, feeling the temperature of the ocean, and instantly came back to life.

"Damn human, I'll show you what's coming to you later!"

Soon, in less than half a quarter of an hour, Zhexian's figure appeared at the location the giant white shark had mentioned.

However, there was no such thing as Sea God Island here at all, not even a small island...

Zhexian's expression was calm; he knew very well that he had been played.

On his left hand, a small True Phoenix was circling and flying; through the small True Phoenix Shadow, he could see a massive heart there...

Subsequently.

Bang!

Zhexian slowly opened his left hand; the small True Phoenix from just a moment ago had already been crushed by him...

At the same time, on the other side.

The giant white shark, preparing to go ashore leisurely once more, was guessing how long that kid could hold out.

It instantly felt a pain in its heart, then lost consciousness and fell heavily onto the beach.

A pitch-black ten-thousand-year Soul Ring slowly condensed from the giant white shark's corpse.

Finally, it dissipated into thin air...

Back to this side.

Zhexian was not in a hurry to leave.

Below him, a massive abyssal whirlpool appeared.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

A roar erupted from the seabed, the sound like thunder shaking the entire sea area, whipping up violent waves that surged toward the sky!

Zhexian gently played the Jade Flute, and petals filled the sky, wrapping around him to block the erosion of the sea waves.

Under Zhexian's gaze, a massive whale emerged from the ocean.

The body of Shenhai Mojing Wang was over a thousand meters long, significantly larger than the island itself, with knotted muscles all over his body, exuding a formidable aura.

His appearance actually piqued a hint of interest in Zhexian.

A descendant of the Kun?

This fellow's aura... was much stronger than any Soul Master he had ever seen.

Shenhai Mojing Wang's huge eyes stared fixedly at Zhexian, a flicker of greed and wariness flashing within them.

He had dominated this sea area for many years and had never encountered such a mysterious existence.

But his intuition told him that the human before him contained incomparably pure energy within his body; if he could devour him, he might be able to break through the final shackle and truly step into the God Level!

"Human, why do you trespass into this King's territory?" Shenhai Mojing Wang's voice rolled in like thunder, shaking the sea surface violently.

Zhexian smiled indifferently and gave the Jade Flute in his hand a light twirl, causing the petals filling the sky to drift away: "I am merely passing through this place, looking for Sea God Island; the location pointed out by a giant white shark just now was right here."

"Sea God Island?" A flash of disdain crossed Shenhai Mojing Wang's eyes, "It seems you are also a believer of the Sea God..."

"Whether I am or not, there is no need for you to trouble yourself, Excellency." Zhexian's tone remained calm.

Seeing this, anger surged in Shenhai Mojing Wang's heart. He had dominated this sea area for many years; when had he ever been so slighted by anyone?

Moreover, although the aura of the human before him was powerful, it did not seem to have reached the God Level; he might not be without a chance in a fight!

"Arrogant human, since you seek death, then this King shall grant your wish!" Shenhai Mojing Wang roared, his massive body leaping violently out of the sea, bringing up monstrous waves.

His tail swept across like a mountain, striking directly at Zhexian!

A cold light flashed in Zhexian's eyes, and he gave the Jade Flute in his hand a light wave, causing the petals filling the sky to instantly condense into a huge barrier, blocking in front of him.

"Boom!"

Shenhai Mojing Wang's tail slammed heavily against the petal barrier, emitting a deafening roar.

However, that seemingly fragile petal barrier did not move at all, and not even a single crack appeared.

Shenhai Mojing Wang was shocked; this strike of his was enough to destroy a small island, yet it could not shake the petals this human had casually cast aside! How could this be?

"Your strength is nothing more than this." Zhexian spoke faintly, his tone carrying a hint of disappointment.

He had originally thought this whale could bring him some amusement, but he had not expected the opponent's power to be so mediocre.

Hearing this, the anger in Shenhai Mojing Wang's heart grew even more intense. He roared, and his massive body sank violently, diving into the deep sea.

Immediately following, the sea surface began to churn violently, and countless huge water columns shot into the sky, turning into water tornadoes that swept toward Zhexian!

"Flashy and showy." Zhexian smiled indifferently and gave the Jade Flute in his hand a light lift, causing the petals filling the sky to instantly transform into countless sharp blades, slashing toward those water tornadoes.

"Sss-sss-sss!"

The moment the petal blades collided with the water tornadoes, the water tornadoes were easily shredded, turning into countless water droplets that scattered onto the sea surface.
