Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 873 - 538: Crossing the Sea
Chapter 873: Chapter 538: Crossing the Sea
“Primordial sea beast?”
“How is that possible!”
“We’ve just left the Ruins of Return not long ago!”
Hearing the Fisherman’s words, Han Li was also struck with shock and terror.
Although he was unclear about what the Central Region or the Divine Land were, he was very familiar with the primordial sea beast.
...
These aberrant species, remnants of the barbaric era, had always caused endless suffering for the cultivators of the Southern Sea. Each primordial sea beast possessed strength no less than that of a Mahayana cultivator, and the most formidable among them were even comparable to Calamity Immortals.
Such beings posed a threat one could only imagine; every attack by a primordial sea beast brought immense loss to the cultivation realm of the Southern Sea, burying countless cultivators, mortals, Spirit Islands, and sects beneath the sea.
Thus, the name of the primordial sea beast was known to all in the Southern Sea, becoming an existence that could silence crying children at night.
But ever since the Scholar’s Palace established its path and laid down the Five Directions Great Formation, suppressing the Southern Sea, such attacks had not been seen for a thousand years, even more so after the ban on sea travel was lifted.
But now…
“What’s so strange about that? There are always unexpected storms in the sky, and fortunes and misfortunes await men at every turn. Change is the only constant in this Endless Sea.”
The Fisherman laughed out loud, reeled in his fishing rod, and looked around. He saw the waters surge and boil, with numerous tentacles climbing out like flood dragons or wild dragons, entangling the Black Tortoise Warship with monstrous strength, seemingly trying to drag it into the sea.
“It’s the Ink Dragon!”
“A primordial sea beast with strength surpassing that of a Calamity Immortal!”
“This monster has boundless strength and the power of the Black Tortoise to control water. We mustn’t let it drag us into the sea.”
“Quickly seek help from the Scholar’s Palace!”
“Formation full open, warship take flight, all cultivators return immediately, provide mana to strengthen the formation’s power!”
As the tentacles entwined and the beast tugged, the Black Tortoise Warship was immediately put into action. With all weapons engaged and the formation fully activated, a phantasmal image of the Black Tortoise Divine Beast materialized, resisting the Ink Dragon’s tentacles, coordinating with the warship’s body, attempting to take to the skies and escape from this Immortal Realm.
Cultivators are extraordinary, possessing the abilities to fly to the heavens and tunnel through the earth, breaking the void and traversing space. However, the Endless Sea is an exception.
The formation of the Endless Sea was due to the primordial core being struck by a meteor, shattering the Divine Land and separating the Five Domains. Its space-time is extremely chaotic, filled with countless natural disasters and phenomena, and numerous space-time fissures remain, making it incredibly dangerous.
Unless one has Heaven Reaching capabilities, in this Endless Sea, the risks of flying through the air are even greater than navigating beneath the sea.
The most prudent approach is to travel close to the sea surface; encountering sea beasts below allows for ascension to avoid them, and encountering spatial fissures above allows for descent to the seafloor.
However, this ideal scenario does not belong to the present Bright Moon Fleet.
“RAWR!!!”
With the Black Tortoise roaring, the warship broke apart, and even the activation of countless Spiritual Treasures was insufficient to pry open the thick root-like tentacles resembling flood dragons and wild dragons.
The Black Tortoise Warship, being only sixth rank, could barely wrestle with the Demon Dragon, which was comparable to a Calamity Immortal, unable to break free, let alone take to the skies.
“Primordial sea beasts have low Spirit Wisdom, acting entirely on instinct!”
“Causing it pain may provide us with a chance to escape!”
“Both fellow Taoists, let’s strike together!”
With a fierce shout, three Escape Lights flew out, transforming into two men and one woman, three True Immortal cultivators.
They were the Grand Ancestors of the Bright Moon Pavilion, Polar Ice Palace, and Fire Crow Mountain.
“SHOUT!!!”
With a furious shout from the Grand Ancestor of Bright Moon Pavilion, she raised her Dragon Head Cane high and struck down forcefully on one of the Ink Dragon’s thick tentacles with the power of a Powerful Splitting Hua Mountain.
The Ancestors of the Polar Ice Palace and Fire Crow Mountain also launched their Magical Treasures, attacking the tentacles entangling the warship with ice and fire.
“WOO!!!”
Suddenly, a sorrowful cry vibrated throughout the ten directions of the sea, with three tentacles struck severely, spewing out copious amounts of black liquid, dyeing the sea ink-black.
The Ink Dragon cried out in pain, its roar sorrowful, but it did not retreat, instead, its savagery was incited. Its tentacles thrashed wildly, and the seawater twisted even more, forming a huge vortex, intent on swallowing the Black Tortoise Warship.
“This isn’t good!”
“This beast!”
“It’s gone wild!”
The three Mahayana cultivators narrowly avoided the tentacles, looking at the wildly sweeping Ink Dragon within the vortex, their faces unspeakably grim.
The primordial sea beast had obscure Spirit Wisdom, acting entirely on animal instinct. If properly exploited, even a Mahayana could possibly repel it.
But that was only a possibility, and it had not been successful. Watching the Ink Dragon’s savagery intensify and the Black Tortoise on the verge of collapse, the three knew that the time for a decisive action had come.
Would it be a bold break for survival?
Or would they be buried in the belly of the fish?
“A married couple are like birds of the same forest, but when calamity comes, they must each fly separately!”
The Fisherman shook his head, looked towards Han Li and his companion, and calmly said, “Boys, count your own blessings!”
After saying that, he leapt up and his Escape Light sped away. He weaved through the wildly dancing tentacles of the Ink Dragon and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Leaving Han Li and his companion pale-faced, uncertain of what to do next.
Although they had prepared in advance, purchasing many Escaping Water Talismans and Water-Traversal Magical Treasures, what could possibly save their lives and allow them to escape in the current situation?
That miserly old man really wouldn’t even give them a lift despite the fact that they had offered him Spiritual Wine from the Drunken Immortal Residence.

“Let’s go!!!”
While they were at a loss, someone from within the warship made a decisive move, steering an Escape Light to fly out, seeking life amidst death.
However, faced with the dragon-dance-like tentacles and the vortex controlled by the Black Tortoise, not everyone could escape like the Fisherman. With sounds of snaps and crackles, countless Escape Lights shattered, plunging into the sea.
Amidst this chaos…
“BOOM!!!”
A loud bang reverberated through heaven and earth, and the Five Colors Divine Light pierced the void, revealing the majestic White Jade Immortal City, imposingly suppressing the sea vortex.
“WOO!!!”
From the depths of the sea, another sound of distress was heard, as if sensing a threat, the silhouette of the Ink Dragon began to emerge, with countless tentacles breaking through the water towards the descending White Jade Immortal City.
Yet, as the Five Colors Divine Light swept across like a sword, the Ink Dragon’s tentacles were shattered into pieces, and the sea beast’s essence blood poured down like rain, turning the sea pitch black.
