Chu Tian heard sounds coming from Zhang Chengcheng's side.
The sound was quite distant.
Then there was a *hua la* sound of a wooden door being pushed open.
A man in ancient costume rushed in…
"Remember not to come save me…" This was Zhang Chengcheng's last voice.
Then came a *ka cha* sound…
The final image was Zhang Chengcheng's foot stepping on an eyeball.
Seeing this, Chu Tian was furious, hot air puffing from his nostrils.
"Huh… it’s him?" Wei Du, Xiao Longnv, Chu Xinghe.
The three exchanged glances…
"You’ve seen him before?" Chu Tian turned his gaze.
They saw blood-redness in Chu Tian's eyes.
"We saw him at Wanwan Island before. He wanted to capture Xiao Hei as a mount. This person is indeed quite strong! And back then… it was just a clone of him, otherwise we would have dealt with him!" Wei Du said.
"A clone? Very strong? How strong?" Chu Tian asked through gritted teeth.
"That clone should have the strength of the late Void Realm! As for the main body, it should be higher…" Wei Du said faintly, his eyes flickering.
Chu Tian was shocked to hear this. A clone with the strength of the late Void Realm, this guy was indeed quite formidable.
"No matter how strong he is, even if the King of Heaven himself appeared, I would pierce him through." Chu Tian’s voice was sinister, every word squeezed from between his teeth.
*Boom rumble…*
Suddenly, the sky above Chu Tian's head vibrated violently.
A strange and unfathomable aura swept past.
Wei Du and Chu Xinghe’s eyes changed instantly.
However, the others did not feel this aura. But the booming sound from the clear sky made everyone look up simultaneously.
"What now? Want to strike me again? Don’t let me find out who you are, it’s not the first time you’ve struck me… Come on, strike me!"
*Boom rumble…*
Another wave of rumbling thunder. But it slowly faded into the distance.
"Damn it… spit!"
Chu Tian did not feel the aura. But he had been struck by lightning before in the Sea of Death and in the small world of the Sacred Spirit Realm. The sound of thunder just now was exactly the same as when he was struck by lightning before.
Wei Du and Chu Xinghe exchanged glances.
"Your son… is a bit audacious!"
"Nonsense… my son is called domineering. Didn't you see he didn't dare to let out a fart?"
The two couldn't help but smile!
"Sui Xing… has the signal location been locked?"
[Beep… locked record!] Sui Xing replied quickly.
"Good! Let’s go… into the sea!" After Chu Tian cursed, he turned and said to Qiu Shaotian.
Qiu Shaotian flinched. He had just been scared by Chu Tian. All martial artists knew that one must not disrespect the heavens above. He never expected Chu Tian to be truly fearless; thunder was booming, and he still pointed and cursed!
"Uh… uh!" Qiu Shaotian didn't dare to say anything else. He just thought to himself that the people below… must not anger this fellow. Everything could be negotiated, but never confront him head-on.
*Ka ka ka…*
The mecha flowed across Chu Tian’s skin, covering him.
"Wait for me, I’ll go get the equipment…" Qiu Shaotian said, heading towards the island.
"No need!" Xiao Longnv waved her hand. A water sphere rose from the sea surface. The water sphere slowly opened, like a hatch, revealing a hollow interior.
"If you’re afraid you can’t breathe, you can enter here."
"Oh…" Qiu Shaotian walked in dazedly. The water sphere slowly closed, carrying Qiu Shaotian down into the water.
Chu Tian said nothing, his mecha activating as he dove in. Xiao Longnv and the others followed closely.
Following Qiu Shaotian’s directions, they descended to a depth of one thousand meters. Suddenly, they touched land at the seabed. Chu Tian was puzzled, where did this child have a great city? Just as he was about to ask, he saw Qiu Shaotian pointing in one direction. Not long after moving forward, Chu Tian discovered a cliff. Below the cliff was a vast underwater trench. Chu Tian looked sideways and saw Xiao Longnv and the others standing before a giant stone. Meeting up with them, Chu Tian noticed there were words on the giant stone. It was actually a stele, but it was not complete.
"Eternal"
Two characters were clearly written on it. Where it broke off below, there should have been more characters. Looking at the marks on the stele, there should have been many small characters. This stele had existed for who knows how many years, and the small characters were no longer visible, corroded into various pits.
At this moment, Chu Tian saw Qiu Shaotian’s mouth moving. He was likely saying something. But Chu Tian couldn't hear. Inside the water shield, only Xiao Longnv could hear. After Qiu Shaotian finished speaking, Xiao Longnv acted. With a gentle movement of her finger, the water sphere flickered. Qiu Shaotian’s hand extended through the water shield. However, Chu Tian noticed that his hand had changed shape. There was a membrane between his fingers, like a duck's webbed foot. Following his movements, Chu Tian saw that directly below the characters "Eternal" was a similar palm print. Qiu Shaotian placed his hand over it…
*Buzz…*
The characters on the stele flickered slightly. Then, there was no further movement. After doing all this, Qiu Shaotian waited quietly. For more than ten minutes, Chu Tian grew impatient and was about to speak.
*Whoosh…*
Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind from below the cliff. He quickly shifted his gaze. A sea turtle as large as a mountain surfaced from below. On its back was a radiant glow, exceptionally conspicuous in the pitch-black seabed. Within the light, there were four creatures holding tridents. Seeing this, Chu Tian’s eyes widened. He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Naga?"
The four creatures on the back of the giant turtle before him had human upper bodies and fish lower bodies. They were covered in fish scales. These four individuals were only the size of ordinary humans. They wore something like helmets on their heads, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to be integrated with them – a helmet of scales transformed into armor!
"Let's go…" Xiao Longnv said. Chu Tian realized that it was likely Qiu Shaotian who had spoken, and Xiao Longnv was merely repeating it. Indeed, Qiu Shaotian moved his feet within the water sphere, and the sphere drifted towards the back of the giant turtle! Strangely, when it reached the light shroud, the water sphere was blocked from entering. Inside the light shroud, there was no water, functioning in a similar way to Xiao Longnv's water sphere. Qiu Shaotian passed directly through the light shroud and entered. Chu Tian and the other three followed behind him. Just as they were about to approach, two tridents crossed in front of them. Qiu Shaotian quickly tried to communicate with them. The four beings, whom Chu Tian presumed to be Naga, kept shaking their heads and remained silent. One of them pointed at Chu Tian, then pointed at the three behind him.
"Only you can go!" Qiu Shaotian said to Chu Tian with a troubled expression.
"Oh…" Chu Tian took a step forward. He boarded the giant turtle, and the two Naga lowered their tridents, allowing him to come up.
