Chapter 549 - Chapter 549: Chapter 541: Deep Sea Giant Demon (2/2)
Even an Immortal Monarch should not be able to transfer an entire ocean here, right?
Moving mountains and overturning seas, only ancient powers possessed such abilities.
Qin Niu subconsciously gripped the Ink Blade tight, and with a fierce slash, he struck at the sea in front of him.
Bang!
The seawater parted to both sides, with four or five-meter-high waves rushing towards the sides, revealing a part of the seabed scene. One could even clearly see a crab scurrying away in panic at the bottom of the sea, a species Qin Niu had never seen before.
It had a shell speckled with spots, long legs, and its body was a bit larger than a grown man’s palm.
Such crabs could not be found in freshwater rivers or lakes.
“This is too lifelike.”
Qin Niu was astonished at how realistic the illusion before his eyes was.
Time was swiftly passing by, and his previous slash had caused no damage to the sea. Nor had he found a way to get across the sea and break through the Immortal Gate.
The time of an incense stick, which is about half an Hour or so.
He couldn’t help but grow anxious.
If he couldn’t even get through the First Immortal Gate, it would be impossible to enter the Hundred-Tempering Immortal Sect. Without entry into the sect, there was no way to learn the profound Immortal spells and techniques.
After advancing to the Immortal Scholar Realm, he desired even more to join the Immortal Sect.
Because by simply groping around on his own, even with so many great opportunities he had come upon, he had only just barely managed to advance to the Immortal Scholar Realm.
He knew nothing about how to proceed with his cultivation.
Let alone practicing spells.
At this moment, Qin Niu made a bold decision to attempt to walk directly on the waves, heading towards the depths of the sea.
With his current cultivation level, relying on the Misty Rain Elusive Step, he could definitely walk on the water’s surface as if it were flat land.
After running forward for about a quarter of an Hour, he started to feel panicked.
Because he could feel the seawater growing increasingly deeper and the waves more terrifying. Randomly kicked-up waves were dozens of meters high, not something human power could contend against.
And there was still no end in sight ahead.
Based on his current method, even if he ran forward for a day and a night, he likely wouldn’t have crossed even one ten-thousandth of the sea.
Another wave came crashing towards him.
He swung his blade with all his might.
A fierce sea shark took the opportunity to burst out of the water and viciously bite at him.
The threat of death descended, unbearably real.
He could even feel how that terrifying gaping maw could easily swallow him whole.
“Die!”
Qin Niu delivered a cleaving cut towards the attacking sea shark.
Splat!
Blood instantly stained the sea red as he sliced the sea shark in two.
But the crisis was not resolved; more sea sharks, attracted by the scent of blood, converged towards him.
They savagely tore at the carcass of the split shark, while some set their sights on Qin Niu.
In the depths of the ocean, an even more terrifying presence was drawing near to him.
Qin Niu caught sight of that dark mass, as large as a small hill.
He definitely shouldn’t venture further into the depths of the sea; otherwise, he could very well find his grave there.
Even though there had been no news of anyone dying while attempting to pass through the Immortal Gate, Qin Niu didn’t dare gamble with his life. Even if the gigantic sea creature swallowed him and he didn’t die, his attempt to pass the trial would most likely end in failure.
In such circumstances, he decisively turned around and ran back.
Only then did he realize that being in the open sea, surrounded by boundless waves on all sides, he couldn’t find the shore at all.
Qin Niu inwardly cursed his luck.
The difficulty of passing through the First Immortal Gate was truly immense; no wonder so many late Spirit Qi Realm experts failed at the challenge.
