Darkness pressed down heavily like a huge, impenetrable curtain, and all around was deathly silent, with only the occasional faint creaking sound of water pressure.
As far as the eye could see, there was not a single ray of light.
If it weren't for sensing the giant python beneath his feet still swimming forward and hearing Mo Yan's voice in his ears, Shen Yunhao might have felt like he was imprisoned in darkness.
"Little brat... do you have a way to let me see what's around me?"
Are you sure you want to see this?
"Wait a minute? Could there be a sea monster nearby?"
"It's unlikely to be a sea monster, but... you'll see for yourself!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yunhao suddenly felt a cool sensation rush to his eyes, as if an invisible film had been peeled away, and his vision instantly became clear.
The deep blue sea surged all around, like an endless void, or like a single transparent gemstone.
However, the sight that came into view made Shen Yunhao hold his breath instantly.
A giant deep-sea eel swam leisurely past Shen Yunhao, just a few meters away.
The giant eel's body is over ten meters long, its skin is covered with spots that shimmer with a faint fluorescent light, and its eyes are very large, but completely black; it's unclear whether it has vision.
"Holy crap! This eel is huge! How many eel rice dishes can we make with it?"
"..."
As soon as Shen Yunhao finished speaking, an even larger figure slowly approached from a distance.
It was a giant squid, its thick tentacles stretching out in the water like a giant python, its body exhibiting an eerie semi-transparent appearance, with its internal writhing organs vaguely visible.
"Holy crap! A ghost squid! There's not even any light here, is the ink it's spraying fluorescent?"
"Heh, you really have a vivid imagination..."
Suddenly, a low tremor came from below, and Shen Yunhao's gaze involuntarily turned downwards.
A massive shadow slowly rose from the darkness... It was a giant deep-sea whale! Its size was enormous, roughly estimated to be over fifty meters long, resembling a moving small mountain!
The giant whale swam up from the deep sea, passing by the giant python, and opened its huge mouth, which was as big as a truck bed. Rows of sharp teeth gleamed with an eerie light, and it bit directly into the giant squid that was tens of meters long!
A strange blue liquid gushed out; it was unclear whether it was squid ink or blood. In any case, the frantically struggling squid only lasted a few seconds before going still...
This scene took place just twenty meters away from Shen Yunhao. He could even feel the surging seawater spreading towards him, causing the giant python beneath him to deviate slightly from its path.
Seeing Shen Yunhao's stiff expression and his mouth so big it could fit half a bratty little sister, Mo Yan couldn't help but complain, "Can you stop acting like you've never seen the world before... If I had known this would happen, I should have taken you down to the Dark Abyss back then, so you could see what a real Dark Abyss behemoth is like!"
This is not because they are ignorant of the world. Not to mention the Dark Abyss Beasts, the towering vines manifested by Mo Yan are already much larger than these sea beasts.
It was just that Shen Yunhao was feeling a bit curious because he was currently in the deep sea!
After all, in the 21st century, the deep sea is largely associated with fear.
"Don't be fooled by their large size; the spiritual energy within them is pitifully low. They can only be called sea beasts, not even worthy of being called demons!"
"Huh? This isn't a demon? Can ordinary sea beasts grow this big?"
"According to you, blue whales in the 21st century are also very large. Are they also monsters?"
"..."
"Of course, although these sea beasts cannot be considered demons, their powerful physiques make them far more formidable than low-level cultivators. A toothed whale of this size is comparable to a Profound Soul Realm cultivator in the water, and that's only in the water. If they were on land and lost their agility, they would most likely be no match for a Profound Soul Realm cultivator..."
It's easy to guess if you think about it: no matter how developed the muscles of these sea beasts are, their physical strength can't compare to that of a Xuanpo Realm cultivator who has been transformed by spiritual energy and the power of the five elements. Only that terrifying power can pose a threat to a cultivator.
As long as the attacks of biting and ramming, which are extremely damaging, are avoided, the cultivators can easily kill this behemoth with their mobility.
"Wow... now that you mention it, I feel so amazing..."
Shen Yunhao, a cultivator at the Profound Soul Realm, suddenly raised his head.
"How about you go and fight it?"
"..."
Shen Yunhao froze instantly.
He wouldn't be afraid if he encountered such a huge monster on land... but in the water, forget it, it would be hard to overcome the fear of wandering in the deep sea.
At this moment, the giant whale had already torn the enormous squid's body into pieces and disappeared into the darkness.
The giant python continued to burrow into the seabed, seemingly uninterested in the giant beast beside it.
"This Ice Spirit Sea Serpent is a genuine Soul Condensation Realm demon beast. If it wanted to kill that giant whale, it could take two bites and eat it until it was vomiting."
"..."
Before Shen Yunhao could express his opinion, Mo Yan suddenly said in a deep voice, "Something is coming. It's a demon beast, and there are quite a few of them!"
"A demonic beast?"
Just then, the sea serpent's descent suddenly became erratic. Its previously steady swimming trajectory was disrupted by an invisible force, and the fluorescent creatures scattered around began to move rapidly. Underwater currents surged, accompanied by an unsettling low rumble.
The burly man standing atop the giant python suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of alertness in them. He stood up, his gaze sharp as a knife, staring intently into the darkness to one side.
"Gurgle, gurgle..."
Countless bubbles rose, and the next second Shen Yunhao discovered that a dozen or so dark figures had emerged from the surrounding darkness and were swimming toward them at high speed.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Yunhao realized that it was a group of enormous sharks, each over ten meters long, comparable to the prehistoric Megalodon.
The shark's skin is a deep, iron-gray color, its dorsal fin is raised like a knife, its dark eyes are cold and bloodthirsty, and its gaping maw reveals gleaming white teeth that gleam with a chilling light.
What's chilling is that there's a human figure standing on the back of each shark.
These figures have the outlines of adult men, yet they exude an inhuman and eerie feeling.
Their skin is dark gray, like rocks soaked in the deep sea, rough and hard, with shark dorsal fins growing on their backs and obvious gills on their necks, opening and closing with their breath.
What is most chilling are their eyes; they have no pupils, only a murky white, like the eyeballs of a dead fish, exuding endless indifference and cruelty.
These shark riders swam slowly around the giant python, forming a tight encirclement. The seawater churned as they swam, and it was clear that the undercurrent that had just appeared was the work of these shark riders!
"Holy crap... Is this for real? It looks like we're... surrounded?"
