Entering the planet's atmosphere, Yan Zaizen was once again amazed. There was literally no land. All the cities were underwater. Even though he searched the pirate captain's soul, experiencing it first-hand left one breathless.

The realmship penetrated the water, but when it did, they felt an immense pressure suddenly. The barrier around the realmship held but the water was let in. It seems the shielding was semi-permeable and allowed water without essence in. This was likely a special feature the Gunyu race enjoyed.

As for the water, the moment it filled the shield, it felt like a mysterious force was pressing against their bodies. It felt heavy and crushing.

”Gravity?” Yan Zaizen curiously asked.

”Hydrostatic Pressure.” Tao corrected, ”The dense water places force on other objects. It's noted that just ten inches of water here is like a li of distance in normal water.” After describing that, he had to circulate his qi-essence to deal with the pressure. Bai Lufeng followed. Soon, they dived down.

Yan Zaizen felt a little pinch, but it wasn't incredible. However, he was shocked to discover that this distance would flatten a mortal's body into nothing.

”The Gunyu has a naturally adaptable body to the environment. They can swim in this pressure. Their physical bodies are unnaturally strong at birth as well. They could rival Essence Formation cultivators strength at birth.” Tao added.

”Interesting!” Essence Formation was the third step in the Essence Path. To be born with a body of that strength was an extraordinary advantage. Not close to divine beasts but still an advantage if compared to Lycahs.

It wasn't long before they reached the actual city. It was completely made of sapphire jade that seemed to contain flushing water. To those unfamiliar with it, it felt like the city was swirling in a toilet. It wasn't long before they grew used to the circulation and saw the city for what it was.

It was grand, had tall buildings with odd spirals, wide areas littered certain locations, and streets as wide as a river. it was like a country underwater. It was also based in the water without a foundation. Despite that, it was completely stationary. ”Rain Flow City, the capital city of the Deluge Realm.” Yan Zaizen stated, then continued, ”The Shangyang Auction held once a century, hosted by Yu Shi - The Realmlord of Deluge Realm - is located here.”

Unlike the Xiantu Realm, the Deluge Realm was more developed and had a third-floor Heavenly Genesis expert at the helm. If it wasn't for the Xiantu Emperor's recent construction of his third-floor, they could never compare.

Yan Zaizen felt boundless respect for anyone who can control a realm. He was unsure of his current strength, but he knew that any individual that can claim a realm didn't comprehend a Mortal Law, but a World Law. The difference in strength was easily understood. For example, Guan Yin comprehended the saber law, a Mortal Law, but she truly wasn't much. The saber law wasn't even a peak Mortal Law.

As they arrived at the barrier entrance to enter the city, they awaited reception from a guard. Yan Zaizen noted that the streets and open areas were empty. There didn't seem to be anyone outside, not even kids.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a literal second, the realmship was surrounded by tens of thousands of Gunyu race warriors. They had sapphire armaments and held spears with emerald tips. The tips radiated a profound pressure that caused Tao and Bai Lufeng's hearts to beat rapidly.

They encircled the realmship in a formation, activating various silver light talismans that seemed to constrict the surrounding space. With this, they prevented the realmship's spatial shifting abilities.

Yan Zaizen could feel profound cultivation bases from each member and not a single one was less than mid-Origin Core Realm in either body or qi. There were several dozens at the True Essence Realm, there was even one at the late stage.

”Power down your formations!” The late-True Essence expert shouted fiercely. Yan Zaizen was shocked but then quickly understood. The realmship originally belonged to a first-floor Heavenly Genesis pirate. He had to be incredibly famous if he pirated nearby with that cultivation base.

The realmship must've been identified the moment they entered the realm. He wondered why, despite traveling so far and so deep, there was no Gunyu swimming around. Furthermore, there was no one outside the barrier. It was as if they cleared out all to prepare for a grand event.

His thoughts weren't wrong.
