Luo Yuan then headed towards the ocean.
He moved across the surface of the ice like a stream of light. Countless cyclones and tornadoes had appeared in the air and subsided as he moved along. The clothes synthesized from the Demonic Horse's Mane were destroyed and only the belt was left unscathed. Although its effect was a lot weaker, it could still allow him to reach a speed of one kilometer per second. It was sufficient for him to fly in a regular manner.
The whole ocean had been frozen over and covered by layers of jet black ice. In some of the regions, it was visible that the sea had barely a ripple on it, which would normally be formed with the rocky waves.
On the surface of the ice, Luo Yuan could occasionally see the traces of marine life. However, they were all dead. Perhaps it was due to the abrupt changes that occurred, its curiosity, or even the hope to obtain oxygen (for some of the sea mammals), the gigantic marine beasts attempted to break the surface of the frozen ice before it thickened. They realized that they could no longer escape from the sea as soon as they jumped up to the top layer of the ice. Soon, they were frozen to death and turned into ice sculptures.
Most of the marine wildlife were fish; one of the cold-blooded animals.
Compared to the mammals, the aquatic life had lower cold tolerance. Basically, they were living in an environment above zero degrees Celsius. They had a weaker resistance to cold, as compared to the amphibians. Once they were exposed to such an extreme temperature, they would bound to perish.
Luo Yuan saw a dead body of the giant mutated fish. Regardless of how powerful the mutant was, it could not withstand such cold weather. The crater-like holes surrounding the dead body showed that the mutated fish was struggling for survival before its death.
After flying for half an hour, Luo Yuan stopped. He was at a place that was around 1,000 kilometers away from the coastline. He looked at the frozen sea surface and decided to examine the depth of the ice sheet and the living condition of the sea wildlife.
He struck a blow against the surface of the ice.
The blow emitted a dazzling white line before it struck on the ice sheet. With its strong pressure, the air had turned into a blue liquid. When the attack hit the surface of the ice, ripples were formed on the entire surface of the ice as if a meteor had just landed. The impact caused a huge explosion. With his current Strength, the energy released from each attack was equivalent to 3 tons of TNT.
With just one blow, a 60 meter-deep hole with a diameter of around 200 meters was formed.
There was a massive crack in the ice, which looked like a big spider web forming on its surface.
However, the hit did not completely break the layer of ice in the sea.
Luo Yuan struck seven blows until there a flow of seawater emerged from the crater-like hole.
The depth of the ice had reached 300 meters. However, in comparison to the thickness of ice sheets in Antarctica, this was just the beginning.
Luo Yuan was glad that despite how freezing cold it was outside and many of the living organisms had all gone extinct, inside the ocean, there was still a hope of survival. In fact, the temperature of the seawater beneath the ice sheet was not too low. Its contact with the ice sheet was only around zero degrees Celsius. The temperature was even higher in deeper levels of seawater. The marine life would certainly be able to survive under such temperature.
He was so close to the fresh seawater. Suddenly, he could see many marine creatures living under the sea. In just a few minutes, it was filled with a large group of fish.
Looking at these beautiful creatures, Luo Yuan decided to stay on for a while.
After the disaster, eating meat was a luxury. Even Luo Yuan as a supreme leader consumed only vegetables and carbohydrates for his meals. The only difference perhaps was only the taste.
The terrestrial creatures that he encountered earlier were rare. However, the marine life here was still living healthily and Luo Yuan would definitely hunt them for food.
After a minute, he caught an unknown mutated fish and threw it towards the surface of the ice.
