Chapter 434: The Confusion in Mind
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
Zhou Bao had heard that the Sea Area was extremely vast when he was on land, but he had never seen it for himself. This time, by sailing across the sea, he finally had the chance to experience it and it was certainly very impressive!
In this damned Sea Area, any influence could easily control an area ranging from tens of thousands of miles. However, that was no big deal because the Four Eastern Regions were quite wide with many influences controlling such areas as well. Take the Jin dynasty as an example; its territory encompassed tens of millions of miles, but that was its area rather than its diameter. The distance between the Four Eastern Regions and Three Western Regions was measured by their straight-line distance which was about 700,000 or 800,000 miles. Even the undeviating distance of the Sea Area between the Four Eastern Regions and Three Western Regions ranged about tens of thousands of miles. Moreover, the Seven-deity Regions were bordered by the boundless Sea Area, however, in reality, they were just the seven largest islands.
Due to the fact that the Sea Area was so wide, there were also many powerful Demonic Immortals. What surprised Zhou Bao the most was the fact that even with such a huge area filled with myriads of powerful Demonic Immortals, they still came under the control of a Sea Emperor. How powerful would this Celestial Emperor be?
He could not quite imagine that.
Compared to the sea in his former life, this Sea Area was several times wider and deeper. A depth of hundreds of thousands of feet was the norm. The undersea world did not pale in comparison with the land and its resources were several times more bountiful than those of the latter.
The massive mountain ranges to the north above the seabed stretched on for tens of thousands of miles, and they were no lesser than Misty Mountain which was in Zhou Bao's hometown. They were just ordinary small mountains in the Sea Area and there were also plants, animals, evil beasts, and monsters here. The variety and quantity of creatures here far surpassed those of creatures in the mountains on land. The terrain here was much more complicated than that of the land too. Aside from the mountains, the most problematic feature was the oceanic trench. It was a very common feature and it reached a depth of 100,000 feet. No one knew what strange things existed in these trenches. The deeper one dived, the greater the pressure he would feel in the water. With Zhou Bao's current strength, he would feel the pressure once he was thousands of feet under the water. Therefore, this was a universal way of gauging the strength of the creatures in the Sea Area; the deeper the evil beast lived, the stronger and more unfathomable its power would be.
Zhou Bao was able to execute his Snake-like Breath Holding Skill up to a depth of 10,000 feet under the water, without any problems. Of course, most demons were living at this depth. The deeper zone was the territory of some powerful beasts, whom even Rolling Dragon King who controlled this Sea Area dared not offend.
For the entire Sea Area, the zone between the depth of 10,000 feet under the sea and the sea surface was equivalent to the land above and it was where most of the ordinary creatures lived.
Zhou Bao held his breath and curled up in a rocky crack under the sea. The crack was located at the foot of a huge underwater mountain range and was covered by a huge rock. It was extremely hard for the light to penetrate this 40,000- or 50,000-foot deep sea. Due to it being covered by the shadow of that huge rock, the crack was in complete darkness.
The undersea world was quite dark. Its main source of light came not from the sunlight above the sea but from the tiny creatures such as fishes and shrimps that gave forth strange lights, as well as from the shiny seaweeds that grew on the rocks. These lights together with the faint sunlight shed from above the sea were the main sources of light in the entire undersea world.
For the people on land, the undersea world appeared darker than the night. However, for creatures in the sea, especially for demons, living in such a world for them was the same as living under bright sunshine. Of course, by relying on the mystical power of his Fiery Eyes, Zhou Bao was quite familiar with his surroundings. No one could hide from his vision within a radius of 1,000 feet, not even the tiny planktons.
Five demons were coming near and Zhou Bao could easily distinguish who they were. Although they had human forms, they still possessed distinct characteristics of demons. For example, one of them had the head of a fish and webbed hands with four fingers only. Others also had various characteristics which distinguished what they were. One had the head of a shrimp and the other, the head of an octopus. The leader had a head of a turtle and a turtle shell on his back. He looked similar to Prime Minister Turtle that Zhou Bao had seen in the TV serials from his previous life.
They were talking about something while walking and did not seem to be afraid of being overheard by anyone. In fact, there was nothing to hide. After all, the last thing they expected was anyone eavesdropping on them in this place.
”Military Counsellor Turtle, what do you think about this matter? It's said that someone escaped from Dragon Abyss Prison and killed a dozen guards. Is that true?” The man with the fish head asked curiously.
