Chapter 1140 The Underwater World
In fact, when Ding Hao saw that Huo Jun’s successor was Hua Mojian, he immediately guessed that Gu Xing’er, who had disappeared with Hua Mojian, must also be in the Divine Capital. Later, Ding Hao sent someone to investigate. As expected, Gu Xing’er was also sent to prison as a member of Huo Jun’s faction.
At Ding Hao’s behest, the two brothers Busan and Busi rescued Gu Xing’er right away.
In the face of Gu Xing’er, Ding Hao did not hide his identity. When they met, they talked, and Ding Hao finally knew what had happened to her and Hua Mojian these days.
Ding Hao couldn’t help but sigh. These two people were too bold. Under that circumstance, they dared to enter the territory of the Demon Clan alone to take risks. Fortunately, they met Huo Jun that day. If it had been any other expert of the Demon Clan, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Through Gu Xing’er, Ding Hao finally figured out a lot of things that he had not understood before, such as the battle of the Blue Cloud Sect and so on.
Gu Xing’er had been by Ding Hao’s side all this time.
How could he not see through this beautiful girl’s feelings for him? It was just that he already had four beautiful wives, so he could not give Gu Xing’er any kind of promise. Other than teaching her martial arts skills, he could not give her anything.
After forcefully suppressing the undercurrents in the Divine Capital and the Eastern Continent, Ding Hao handed everything over to the three Regents. He believed that there would be no big changes in the situation where God’s Palace and the Ocean Forest were doing good deeds for people, so he decided to go to the Seven Seas.
At the same time, Gu Xing’er regained her freedom. Even though she was reluctant to part with Ding Hao, she should return to the Northern Region at this time, lest her brother, Gu Shaochu, be worried.
Fortunately, the closest space gate to the Northern Region was in Stone Mouth City, the border town, so she could spend more time with Ding Hao. Now that the Stone Mouth City was right in front of her, and she could clearly see the space gate, she was finally going to leave.
“Take care. I’ll go to you when I return to the Northern Region.” Ding Hao comforted her. He then turned into a stream of flowing light and disappeared into the distant void.
The west of the Stone Mouth City was the territory of the Feather Clan. The west of that territory was the sea area of the Land of Divine Grace.
It was said that there were seven seas of different colors in that sea area. That was why the place was called the Seven Seas. The area of the Seven Seas was so vast that it was many times larger than that of the Land of Divine Grace. Its ruler was the Sea Clan, which had many branches and a large number of people. If it weren’t for the fact that the Sea Clan couldn’t survive on the land for a long time, the entire Land of Divine Grace would have long become the territory of the Sea Clan.
Gu Xing’er looked in the direction where Ding Hao had disappeared and remained silent.
“Your Excellency, it’s getting late. Let’s go.” Ten masters of the Silver Snow Corps were guarding Gu Xing’er. They were carefully selected by Ding Hao to protect her. One of them coughed and whispered to remind her.
“Oh… Okay… It’s time to go.” Gu Xing’er came to her senses. She sighed, nodded, and rushed up to the new space gate with the ten masters.
Now the new space gate had become extremely large and stable. It ran through the Land of Divine Grace, and there was no need for God’s Palace to station troops to guard it. People could use it as they pleased.
The group of people vanished within the space gate.
…
“The water power above the Seven Seas is indeed richer than that of the Southern Wilderness in the Land of Infinity. Not only because there is no land or island here, but also because the water in this sea is strange. As far as I can see, it’s all primal chaos seawater…”
In the void, Ding Hao’s ears were full of the sound of tides, vigorous and long-lasting. Looking around, he found that there were vast surging blue waves everywhere. It was as if the world was undulating along with the waves.
In less than two hours, he had gone tens of thousands of kilometers deep into the sea.
The place of this depth was already a forbidden area for most of the martial artists in the Land of Divine Grace. Masters below the God Realm did not dare to go deep into the sea to this extent. Otherwise, once they got unlucky and a medium-sized sea beast group or a powerful and fierce Abyss Sea Demon appeared, anyone below the God Realm would die. There would be no way for them to escape.
However, there were also rumors that there were countless natural treasures in the deep sea and the bottomless abyss. Many divine materials and even immortal medicines and immortal gold that could not be found on land might be found in the ocean.
As such, the ocean attracted countless adventurers.
Every year, there were many mercenary groups, caravans, experts, and even fleets of various major clans that went to the sea to search for treasures. Many creatures on the continent took risks, hoping to get to the top by luck. Maybe some people had succeeded, but most of them would eventually die in the cold sea.
The vast and mysterious ocean world was like a black rose to the races living on land. It was strange and dangerous.
Of course, this kind of danger meant nothing to Ding Hao.
“I have to find a way to contact the Sea Clan first, and then I will go to the Mermaid Clan. Otherwise, if I keep wandering around like this in the vast sea, I don’t know when I can find Yiruo and the others.” Ding Hao thought to himself.
At this time, with a bang, some water columns rose violently. A huge tentacle covered with crimson suckers suddenly rose from the water. Like a python, it swept toward Ding Hao, trying to drag him into the sea.
Ding Hao casually waved his hand.
The thick tentacle was cut off at the root as if it had been cut off by a sharp weapon.
The surface of the sea seemed to have regained its peace.
But a few moments later, an angry roar came from the bottom of the sea. A violent and cruel scream went straight up to the sky. A kind of horrifying power surged, making the originally calm sea suddenly seeth like boiling water. Stinky dark green blood spread in the sea. The next moment, with continuous booms, dozens of bloody tentacles broke out of the water and rushed to Ding Hao like crazy flood dragons.
“What a reckless beast!”
Ding Hao put his fingers together and made a gentle stroke.
Like a heavenly sword cutting across the surface of the water, the seawater suddenly split into a crack that was thousands of meters long from the middle, as if the whole sea had been split. The huge waves of 10,000 meters split into two sides. In the crack, an octopus monster as huge as a mountain was struggling in horror, but its huge body was split into two from the middle. Dark green blood spurted out, and the seawater within a radius of thousands of meters instantly became as dark as ink.
This was a Half-deep Abyssal Devil Monster. Its combat strength in the sea was comparable to that of a God Realm Master. It could appear and disappear like a ghost and had hundreds of agile bloody tentacles on its body. It could even drag giant warships into the abyss. It was very terrifying.
Unfortunately, when it encountered a supreme master like Ding Hao, it was killed in an instant.
Most of the sea monsters in the sea were born innately. As they grew older, their strength would increase. Unfortunately, these creatures lived in the abyss and could not see the sunlight. They stayed in the dark, and their intelligence was not high. What was left was always the instinct of beasts and fighting, so they could never become the masters of the sea.
This kind of abyssal monster was probably an octopus. If it had the wisdom that matched its strength, it would be able to perceive Ding Hao’s horrifying power. When its first tentacle was cut off, it would choose to retreat instead of continuing to attack angrily.
“It stinks, stinks!”
Evil Moon jumped out of the storage space and smelled the fishy smell in the air. It lost its appetite. It had wanted to take advantage of Ding Hao’s trip to the Seven Seas to enjoy the seafood.
“It may be delicious after you roast it.” Ding Hao was amused.
In his previous life, a roasted octopus was very delicious, but he didn’t know how the meat of this giant octopus monster from the abyss tasted. Obviously, the Demon King didn’t believe Ding Hao’s words very much. It looked as if it didn’t believe him at all.
“If I want to find the people of the Sea Clan, I can’t do it on the surface of the water. I need to dive into the sea to get something.” Ding Hao looked at the surging seawater. After running his power a bit, he was surrounded by golden and silver sword radiance. He instantly rushed into the sea with Evil Moon.
Everything in front of him suddenly turned dark.
Ding Hao rushed to the sea thousands of meters below in an instant. At this depth, the sun could no longer shine in. It was dark all around. He could vaguely see some strange lights shining like stars in the dark night. Those were some strange sea beasts, whose bodies could emit light.
Ding Hao also vaguely felt a little excited.
The unknown always aroused one’s curiosity. The stars and the sea were full of endless mysteries. Whether in his previous life or this life, Ding Hao was full of longing for the deep sea. At the same time, the Demon King was screaming. Obviously, it did not like this kind of darkness very much.
Ding Hao ran the Seven Star-shaped Eyes of Fate. Two strange eyes pierced the darkness at the bottom of the sea like divine lightning, scaring countless sea beasts around to flee in all directions.
In an instant, everything around him became extremely clear in his eyes.
He was not really at the bottom of the sea at this time. The deep feeling made him feel like he was floating in an endless vacuum. The mystery of the sea was fully revealed at this moment. Even Ding Hao felt that he was very small.
He continued to dive down after running his power a bit. After going down a full 10,000 meters, he saw the scenery below. It was a barren underwater hill with a soft black plant growing on the light brown surface, slowly floating in the calm and cold seawater.
In this kind of deep sea, the water flow was already extremely gentle, almost motionless.
At this depth, there were still strange sea creatures swimming back and forth, and their appearances were extremely strange.
It was hard to imagine what kind of plants and animals could grow in such a cold and stressful environment. Even the Saber Master and the Sword Master were surprised and could not recognize them. Obviously, the two old monsters had rarely appeared in such an environment before and had no similar experience.
Ding Hao did not really land on the bottom of the sea but began to rush forward at an altitude of more than 200 meters above the ground. The gold and silver Yin and Yang Pisces turned into two wings, pushing Ding Hao’s body slightly. He covered hundreds of miles in an instant, and his speed was extremely fast in the sea.
At the same time, he released his majestic Divine Senses, covering a radius of hundreds of kilometers to observe all the movements.
