Towards Eternity
Ch 528's. The Beast of the Sea

Once upon a time, there was a vast island in the Dimension of Origin. The island is famous for the fertility of its soil, and all sorts of natural resources can be found in it.

People are flocking to come and try their luck by selling the natural resources produced by this island. Time after time, more and more people came to the island and fought over the resources and wealth on the island, until finally there was a battle that typified and made hundreds of thousands of lives lost.

Long story short, there were two high-level Martial Practitioners who were also fighting over the resources on the island, and the two of them were fighting each other. His second fight lasted for five days and five nights, and ended with no one winning the fight.

The impact of the second fight is, the destruction of the big island and divided into six islands separated by the ocean. Each island holds different resources and wealth.

After that big fight, the people who had previously fought each other started to choose to stay on one of the six islands according to what resources they wanted. The battle subsided, and the story of the bloodshed was forgotten by the passage of time.

No one knew which island the two high-ranking Martial Practitioners chose, but certainly their names, as well as their faces, no one knew about it.

All of these stories happened long before the Giant Empire existed and ruled over dozens of islands.

"The story is like bullshit, you know? Not even a Soul Master can destroy an island, and you want to say that two people who fight can destroy a large island and make it crumble into six smaller islands? Your fairy tale will only be trusted by a small child," said Weng Lou as he listened to Hong Mugui's story about the origin of the Huwa Islands.

Weng Lou was different from the Martial Practitioner who was used to living in the Huwa Islands, he had seen the strength of a Martial Practitioner in the realm of Soul Mastery, who was the Soul Emperor. Obviously their power could not destroy an island. Then what about those in the higher realm of Soul Mastery?

Let alone Weng Lou, even the former Sect Chief of the Northern Heavens had never seen him for real with his own eyes. Even so, there was still a possibility that a person who possessed strength above the Soul Mastery realm could destroy an island.

But still, to think there were two people who possessed such power in the Huwa Islands once, Weng Lou could only refute it.

Hong Mugui smiled wryly at Weng Lou's sneer. What it tells is a common story known to everyone in the Huwa Islands. Even all Martial Practitioners living in the Huwa Islands also believe the story.

"But Master, is there really no one who has that much power? I mean, isn't it the ancient time that the inhabitants of our world are the ones who can control the sea and the sky?" The curious-looking Du Zhe asked Weng Lou while eating his dinner.

Hearing that, Weng Lou instantly also recalled about Zhi Juan and himself before reincarnating. Weng Lou had seen the battle in the dimension belonging to the Divine Race involving the Absolute and the members of the Divine Race.

The destructive power he saw, actually made him speechless, but due to the strength of the extremely sturdy Divine Race dimension, making an impact from that power meant nothing.

"Du Zhe, does your Master look that old to you?" Weng Lou asked as he raised his eyebrows next door.

Du Zhe laughed softly, it was the right logic to answer his question. Although the existence of people as strong as that existed before, but now almost no one knows of the existence of these people.

"Consider all passengers! We are about to enter a sea storm, passengers are expected to enter and stay in their rooms. We're going to face a big shock that I guarantee you won't want to experience in the dining room" exclaimed a man with a bushy beard in the dining room where passengers are currently busy eating their meals.

Weng Lou's group immediately finished their meal, and headed to their room. Inside the room, Du Zhe with his small legs ran quickly towards the window, and saw a wave hitting the ship from the side and causing a shake to the ship.

"Oh! It really was a huge storm! The teacher! Do you think this ship can survive a storm that big?" His index finger pointed at the thick black clouds that were several hundred meters away from them.

Lightning struck, and the sound of thunder boomed in the sky. The bright light from the lightning that struck made the night sky look as bright as day. Du Zhe's mouth opened wide watching that and grew even more excited.

"You take it easy, sir. This ship, although the outer part is made of wood, but actually on the inner frame is made of a very sturdy and tough metal that even equates to a steel." Hong Mugui gave a reply to Du Zhe.

The answer from Hong Mugui made Du Zhe's heart feel relieved. He had imagined, what if the storm that they would pass through this caused the ship they boarded to be damaged or sink in the middle of the ocean.

It was obvious that he would not be able to do anything if that happened, and could only hope for Weng Lou and Hong Mugui who were with him at the moment.

"Storms like this are not dangerous. It's just the strong wind that blows from the side that makes this situation a little risky. The mast could have broken because it was not strong enough to withstand the force of the wind, or maybe the ship turned upside down because it was blown by the wind from the side. But fortunately, the captain of this ship was no ordinary captain. He had often gone through this situation, even he had faced an even bigger storm and could still pass through it safely" explained Hong Mugui who instead made Du Zhe worry again.

"That's nothing, Du Zhe. You don't have to think about that, now you better rest. Our journey is long." Weng Lou laid his body on his bed while Du Zhe and Hong Mugui looked at him in silence.

"I'll see a little longer, and I'll sleep Master. Is it okay?"

"En, it's up to you. But don't let the night, the cold air at night is not good for the body."

"All Teacher! Thank you!"

Weng Lou's eyes then looked towards Hong Mugui, "If anything happens and you can't handle it, just wake me up."

"Sure, Sir." Hong Mugui lowered his head then nodded.

"Okay good night." Weng Lou then closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

Du Zhe again placed his attention on the situation outside the ship through the window. His eyes were amazed as he watched the flash of light in the sky, while Hong Mugui chose to sit on his bed and train.

In this one day, already too many events that he experienced, he needed to process all those events in his head.

***

Midnight on the high seas.

The ship that Weng Lou was riding on had long since gone through a storm, and was currently calmly speeding away being blown by the night wind.

The calm atmosphere and the blowing of the cold wind made the passengers all sound asleep, as well as several crew members.

In the captain's room, the middle-aged man with a moustache and beard covering half of his face sat leisurely enjoying a warm, black drink in his large cup.

*Supp....* He sipped his drink, then casually enjoyed the starry night sky. The light of the stars and the moon shone through the night, and made anyone who witnessed it to be amazed by the beauty of it.

When the man was turning his eyes to a map on a nearby table, something suddenly hit the bottom of the ship, and made the ship shake. Passengers and crew members who were asleep, now began to wake up one by one.

The middle-aged man immediately left his room and headed to the deck of the ship, trying to see what had just hit them.

His eyes continued to stare at the bubbles, before then the ship was hit again by something and this time was much stronger than before.

*bum!!* The man immediately fell to the floor of the ship violently. But immediately, he got up to his feet and inspected the sea below them once more.

However, what he saw immediately made his entire body sweat cold, and his life was like coming out of his body.

The man looked dazed, but then he hurriedly shook his fist and left his place and rang the bell of the ship.

*TRANG!!!! THE TRANGG!!!! TRANGGGS!!!!*

The sound of the bell echoed throughout the ship, and this time it had awakened everyone. Weng Lou, Du Zhe and Hong Mugui who were in their rooms quickly went out to the deck and saw what was going on.

"Teacher!!!!"

Du Zhe who arrived at the edge of the ship first and gazed down at the bottom of the ship. Di exclaimed frantically as soon as he saw a pair of glowing giant red eyes that glowed and looked like demons staring at him from hell.

Du Zhe's body shuddered in fear and fell to the floor, while Weng Lou and Hong Mugui had also arrived and had also looked down at the ship.

Hong Mugui's mouth immediately opened wide and a feeling of fear surfaced on him. While Weng Lou, he frowned, and sweat began to pour on his forehead.

"I-This...the sea beast!" Weng Lou exclaimed in shock.

Of the many beasts that lived on the mainland, there were some who possessed strength equivalent to Martial Practitioners who were in the realm of Soul Cleansing and Soul Unification, respectively, it was not uncommon for anyone to reach a strength equivalent to Soul Mastery. Their numbers could still be counted by the fingers, and the chance of being able to have power above the Soul Cleansing realm was extremely small to them.

But the same is not true for those who live in the waters, especially in the vast oceans. The number of wild beasts living in the ocean was arguably 5 times more than those living on land, and their strength far exceeded that of the beasts living on land.

Because of the vastness of the ocean, making the development of the animals that live in it is not hampered at all, and rarely the seizure of territory that leads to the action of killing each other. In the ocean, all kinds of animals can grow freely. And because the oceans are also untouched by humans, making their development faster without any problems, and they can have a long life.

The sea savage beasts would usually not look for trouble in humans if there was nothing to provoke them first. But at this time, an ocean savage beast that had an unusually large body size was swimming right under the ship that was boarded by the Weng Lou group, which was, and they do not know the cause of the arrival of this beast.

"Grroooaa.........." A very deep sound, echoing from within the ocean and making the book sit all who hear it become goosebumps instead of playing.

"Damn, the power in the realm of Soul Unification stage 5 peak!" Weng Lou seemed surprised to feel the surge of power released by the creature that was currently beneath them.

All that was visible from this ferocious beast was his pair of red eyeballs and an extremely faint dark shadow that was likely his body.

"Oi, there's a big problem!" From Weng Lou's mind the sound of the Black Ape Fighter was clearly heard.

Black Ape Brawler had previously asked Weng Lou to be put in a large cage so as not to attract attention, so he was currently in the storage room of the ship.

"What's wrong?! We also have a big problem here!" Weng Lou frowned.

"The sea beast came because it was lured by my waves of power! In other words, he came here looking for me! This must be his territory, and my presence has made him feel provoked!" said the Black Ape Fighter that instantly made Weng Lou swallow heavy saliva.

Weng Lou had never been afraid of fighting those who were 2 or 3 levels of strength above him, but the current condition of his body was not allowing him to fight in the ocean. Not only did he not possess Qi, but he was also already unable to control the Profound Power Realm around him due to losing his Dantian.

If he is desperate, he will die.

"So what are we going to do? Doing battle on this ship, was tantamount to looking to die. We are too far from the land, and it is also impossible to escape from this beast." Weng Lou spoke in a serious tone.

"I have an idea, you better try to talk to him and say that I'm just your innate, and not come to provoke him. The sea savage beast is very sensitive about its territory, you can take advantage of it," explained the Black Ape Fighter inside Weng Lou's head.

Hearing that, Weng Lou immediately bit his lips and began to think hard, considering the possible success of the plan.

"Well, for now, you try to reduce that surge of strength in your body, I'll talk to this beast." Weng Lou nodded in understanding then started walking closer to the edge of the ship once again.

This time, as if by a signal, the eyes of the beast under the ship began to close, and the current in the water began to make the ship shake slightly for a while. When people thought that the matter had been resolved, a shadowy figure of a creature with a body that was nearly ten times larger than the Black Ape Fighter began to appear beside the ship. Due to the darkness of the night, only both the eyes and shadows of the creature's body could be seen by the people.

All who saw this opened their mouths wide, and it was like they were looking at the appearance of a ghostly figure.

"Who is this bastard who dares to provoke me in my territory?????"

The huge voice echoing from the huge shadow figure sounded extremely cold and deep, like it was within a bottomless ocean. Weng Lou without making small talk immediately stepped forward and bowed his body to the shadow figure.

"Greetings, the Lord of the Sea! I am a traveler who happens to pass by, my name is Wei Lu. The one who accidentally caught your attention was a Black Ape that I had conquered before. It seems like his strength was unintentionally felt by you, I apologize profusely for my carelessness!" Weng Lou spoke fluently, and showed his very natural-looking respect.

The shadow figure was silent for a while, and then suddenly, its figure slowly drew closer to the ship, and showed its true appearance.

The figure appears as a giant eel that has a body length of more than five hundred meters with black skin and eyes that are completely bright red. The long, pointed teeth were snapped from the mouth of the giant super-large eel. The bloodlust that had previously come out of him slowly began to pull back as he stared at the figure of Weng Lou with both of his bright red eyes.

"Hmmmm.... You think I'll listen to a lowly human like you? Let me tell you, there is only one end for anyone who has provoked me, and that is death!"
