Chapter 344 – White Scaled Giant Crocodile
Those words sounded reasonable and there wasn’t any need for him to keep the Jade Revolving Grass on him. Declining the old turtle might actually make Lei Yu look like he didn’t trust him.
Upon returning to the main hall, a youth was seen rushing in. He was about two meters tall and extremely thin, and no different from a stick of bamboo pole. As he was entering the main hall, he was already yelling: “Sea Emperor! There’s an outsider causing trou…” Once he saw Lei Yu and the old turtle sitting together on the golden throne, his eyes glazed over.
Lei Yu stood up and smiled, “My apologies, that was a misunderstanding previously.”
Guman’s eyes landed on the old turtle and saw the latter nod with a smile so he quickly forced a smile. “You are truly powerful. I believe in the eastern sea region, you can be considered an overlord!”
Lei Yu waved his hands and smile, “I’m in no way an overlord, I just happened to be passing by and encountered senio… the Sea Emperor who was an old friend.”
After chatting for a bit, Lei Yu realized how the old turtle was able to carve out his own territory in the eastern sea region. The surface area of the sea was extremely huge and the further one went out, the more experts there would be. They all happened to be demonic cultivators as well. Within this region, the old turtle’s late Soul Splitting stage power could be considered as one of the peak experts, but his territory only took up a small portion of the sea region.
Demonic cultivators had one special ability – the ability to detect outsiders or non demonic cultivators. No matter how strong that person was; once they entered their range, even if that person was at the Mahayana realm, a mere Gold Core demonic cultivator would be able to tell him apart from fellow demonic cultivators. This was because normal martial cultivators did not possess the unique aura a demonic cultivator typically had. This was something Lei Yu had experienced before when he was in the water region of the Southern Wild Lands.
“I can’t delay anymore and will be leaving right now.” Lei Yu stood up and cupped his hands.
“When you come back, I’ll have the Jade Revolving Grass ready for you!” The old turtle cupped his hands and sent Lei Yu off.
It wasn’t that Lei Yu was in a rush, it was because the Devil King in his Universal Pouch released an aura of grievance. If Lei Yu didn’t leave soon, and the Devil King happened to suddenly pop out of the pouch… a floating skull would be a terrifying scene for others to behold. Moreover, Lei Yu didn’t have the power to trap the Devil King in the storage pouch since he couldn’t even control the trace of energy still inside his body.
After bidding farewell to the old turtle, Lei Yu flew out of the waters and into the air. He figured he would just keep on meeting more and more opponents while underwater and that was trouble he didn’t want to attract. And since he already had access to the Jade Revolving Grass, there wasn’t any further need to travel underwater.
The surface area of the sea region was no less than the landmass of the Immortal World. Lei Yu didn’t require a long amount of time of flying but it still took him over half a month at top speeds.
During this time, Lei Yu would occasionally take out the Sky Devouring Sword and practice the new grasped 24th form of the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique. In actual combat, this 24th form would be considered Lei Yu’s life insurance so he wouldn’t display it unless at the last resort.
Tsunamis or swells were a common occurrence in the Mortal and the Immortal World. As long as there was a strong enough wind, it would cause a huge wave. The huge waves and the gloomy skies would cause a depressive atmosphere for anyone.
Lei Yu had a foreboding that something would happen but that didn’t stop his flying. Even though he wasn’t seeking trouble, that didn’t mean trouble wouldn’t come looking for him. The current region Lei Yu was flying past happened to belong to a White Scaled Giant Crocodile that had cultivated for over 10,000 years and reached the early Boundary Transition stage.
Normal crocodiles should be living in small bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, but this White Scaled Giant Crocodile was different from others. It was an ancient demonic beast that one rarely encountered, but wasn’t ranked within the six major demonic beasts. It was only considered a very strong demonic beast, but even so, it possessed the ability to flip the earth and heavens upside down. Especially in the sea region, it allowed it to fully display its powerful abilities. Its attacks were extremely vicious and this would be considered Lei Yu’s bad luck to encounter it out of all places.
