Chapter 340 – Sea Emperor’s Birthday (2/2)

There was a huge pressure while deep under the sea. If it was back then, Lei Yu probably wouldn’t be able to resist it for too long. But now he had no feeling as if the pressure didn’t exist at all.

Lei Yu played around by using his internal energy to make it encapsulate his entire body and forcing all the water away. He then childishly laughed, “So it looks like I have the same ability as Long Er!”

This was simply an idiotic statement of his…

Lei Yu then released his perception ability and realized the distance of his senses had been reduced quite a bit underwater. This was the case because there were too many uneven surfaces, living organisms, and the hydrostatic pressure of the sea. As long as Lei Yu kept his vigilance up, he shouldn’t encounter any serious dangers.

As he propelled himself forward rapidly, Lei Yu kept an eye out on the surrounding clusters of corals. He was keeping any eyes out for the rare herb amongst the coral reefs and the seaweeds on the seabed.

It was around this time that Lei Yu was startled. “How come there’s so many energy fluctuations up ahead?” Lei Yu could sense in front of him was a crowd of demonic cultivators gathered together. Still filled with vigilance, Lei Yu gradually got closer to the group. At the same time, he lowered a majority of his aura but didn’t completely hide it.

The closer he got, the more shocked he was because there was over a thousand demonic cultivators here. These demonic cultivators were all related to sea creatures of different shapes and sizes. It was nothing out of the ordinary for him to see such demonic cultivators because he met many different species daily in the Southern Wild Lands. The only thing he was curious about was why there were so many of them gathered here today?

Over a thousand demonic cultivators were all gathered outside some type of underwater palace. At the top of the staircase over a hundred steps high was someone of the fish species on a stage, and it wasn’t hard to tell that it was of the eel species. There many types of eels in the sea and was not a bad choice as a food item. The meat can be moist and very delicious tasting. But this wasn’t a normal eel and was actually the rarely seen electric eel. Just like Lei Yu, it can release different intensity of electricity as its offensive ability.

This eel was at least three meters long and there was no need to mention that it had formed its essence. Although its body looked slim, its voice was very rough to the ears. One could hear it say to the thousands of demonic cultivators: “Today is our Sea Emperor’s millennial birthday. Just leave your presents on the ground and the guards will come forth to accept it.”

After hearing that, thousands of demonic cultivators started bowing at the waist. Some brought out items from their belongings while some took out items from their mouths. Some even dropped their beloved weapons on the ground right in front of them. Why would they present their own weapons as gifts?

Lei Yu was at a complete loss after witnessing such a scene. Just when he was still in a daze, a shrimp looking guard in an archer’s outfit came over and looked at Lei Yu strangely. “Where’s your present? Wait! You don’t have the aura of a demonic cultivator! You’re an outsider!” After saying that, he drew a weapon from his waist and stood in a stance about to attack. Upon hearing this ruckus, everyone turned over with strange looks in their eyes. When they saw Lei Yu, they all showed ill intentioned looks and began to surround him.

Lei Yu didn’t panic or feel any fear. Under his perception ability, the strongest demonic cultivator out of the crowd was only at the early Fusion Soul stage. Although there were a lot of them, just using the Sky Devouring Sword to strike out twice with the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique’s first form was enough to take care of all of them.

On top of a stage, the eel coldly harrumphed. “Outsider, why did you come here? Could it be that you want to cause trouble during our Sea Emperor’s birthday? Capture him!” With that command, the thousands of demonic cultivators didn’t move but a stream of Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals streamed out of the palace and surrounded Lei Yu three levels deep.
