Chapter 1622 (Raw 1604): Dangerous Starry Sea
Xiao Chen walked out of his room and went to the control room . Xiao Suo and the others currently operated the Black Cutlass pirate ship, traveling through the sea .
The Black Cutlass was the name that Xiao Suo gave the pirate ship, the shortened form of the Black Scimitar .
Xiao Suo had gone into the starry sea before and was no stranger to the environment of the starry sea . The Black Cutlass traveled extremely smoothly through the complicated starry sea .
“Captain, you came out?”
Xiao Suo looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise . For the past two months, Xiao Chen had not shown himself at all, communicating through voice projections from afar . Now, he finally formally emerged from closed-door cultivation .
There was a water screen in the front of the control room, showing the scene of the sea region in front .
Through the regulation of the formations, the scene on the water screen could be adjusted to show all three-hundred-sixty degrees around them with no dead angles at all . It was very well thought-out .
When one was in the control room, it gave one a sense of complete control .
Xiao Chen nodded slightly . He was still not quite satisfied with the speed of the pirate ship .
The group only just entered the depths of the Grave Sea, but another month passed . There was no saying when they would reach Senior Ye Zifeng’s sect .
The Grave Sea’s vastness surpassed his expectations .
Xiao Suo could tell what Xiao Chen was thinking . He explained, “For traveling in the starry sea, the Black Cutlass is already considered very fast . Even a late-stage Major Primal Core Venerate would not be as fast as the Black Cutlass . ”
Xiao Chen knew this . The gravity in the starry sea was more than ten times that outside . Flying above the sea would not only be a great drain but also very slow . Furthermore, there was the danger of falling into the sea at any moment .
The strongly corrosive nature of a starry sea was no joke . No one was willing to soak in it .
“I can only hope that we find Senior Ye Zifeng before the Black Lotus Church finds us . ”
Xiao Chen knew that he could not rush this matter . As for the Black Lotus Church, he could only pray hard .
“Rumble…!”
Suddenly, the roar of a huge wave from the sea region ahead thundered . The wave was very startling, emanating the aura of a strong, oceanic ferocious beast .
On the water screen in the control room, a sharp black object protruded from the sea .
Xiao Suo’s expression changed slightly . He said sullenly, “We’ve probably met with an oceanic ferocious beast . That dorsal fin is at least one kilometer long . ”
“I’ll take a look . ”
Remaining calm, Xiao Chen silently executed the Heavenly Eye . The Heavenly Eye turned into a flash of light, exiting the ship to hover in the sky and look down .
The Paradise Secret Canon’s Heavenly Eye peered through the water into the depths .
Then, Xiao Chen discovered that what was revealed on the surface of the sea was only the tip of the iceberg . His vision continuously sank deeper . After about five hundred meters, he discovered a sawtooth shark that was several kilometers long .
This was absolutely the largest oceanic ferocious beast Xiao Chen had ever seen . It was several times larger than the Jiao Snake, exuding an even stronger pressure .
Xiao Chen withdrew his Heavenly Eye and said in a low voice, “Go around it . This ferocious beast is several kilometers long . The dorsal fin is just the tip of the iceberg . This is a difficult opponent . ”
“Could it be the Black Star Sawtooth Shark?” The experienced Xiao Suo immediately thought of a specific oceanic ferocious beast .
“The Black Star Sawtooth Shark is a rather strong oceanic ferocious beast . It possesses the strength of a Primal Core Venerate at birth . ”
“At maturity, it is as strong as a Major Primal Core Venerate . The strongest ones are even on par with Cloud Sea cultivators . ”
Inside the control room, Luo Nan and Fei`er quickly gave out information about the Black Star Sawtooth Shark . Over the past two months, the two of them had studied up on oceanic knowledge .
“Oh no! It’s too late to go around it . ”
Xiao Suo’s face sank . The Black Star Sawtooth Shark in the water screen suddenly leaped out of the sea, revealing its gargantuan body . Its abdomen was covered in black star patterns, the distinguishing mark of a Black Star Sawtooth Shark .
After the Black Star Sawtooth Shark breached and soared into the air, the starry sea’s strong gravity pulled it back down towards the pirate ship .
Under the influence of gravity, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s humongous body flew like an arrow, moving at a horrific speed .
“There’s no need to panic . Xiao Suo, you stabilize the ship . I’ll use the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation to deal with it . ”
At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen settled everyone down and calmly issued orders .
Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet and left the control room . With a few flashes, he arrived at the top of the pirate ship .
The first thing that welcomed Xiao Chen was the overwhelming gigantic wave kicked up by the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s breaching .
This powerful wave would be able to smash an ordinary Yang Essence cultivator to death . It was extremely mighty and also had a strongly corrosive nature .
Even with the defenses of the pirate ship, it would be hard to avoid being shaken and injured .
Xiao Chen extended his hand, holding the Lunar Shadow Saber . Then, he sent out a resplendent saber light .
The saber light chopped the overwhelming gigantic wave in half, not letting any water land on the pirate ship .
After that, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber before brandishing the Scarlet Blood War Banner . The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation in the ship instantly activated . A layer of dense, bloody, baleful, smoky clouds erupted with a startling bloodthirsty aura and quickly spread out .
“Whoosh!”
An enormous Yazi Beast image promptly shrouded the exquisite pirate ship . Inside the image, the pirate ship was like the Yazi Beast’s heart, hidden within its body .
As the Spirit Jades in the formation drained of energy, white bones materialized, one after another, and connected to each other in the Yazi Beast Demon Soul image—the Demon Soul of a Great Desolate ferocious beast .
This made the image appear much more solid .
“Boom!”
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul bared its fangs and clashed with the approaching Black Star Sawtooth Shark . “Crack! Crack!” The huge, sharp teeth of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark immediately shattered .
Intense shock waves spread out . Behind the several layers of barriers, the pirate ship in the Demon Soul’s chest only shook a little .
The Yazi Beast Demon Soul possessed a brutal nature; there was no need to control it .
When in battle, it would bring out its cruel and bloodthirsty nature . Even as a soul, it could not rid itself of such a violent nature .
Possessing the head of a dragon and the body of a leopard, the Yazi Beast landed on the surface of the sea with its four legs . Its enormous body was incredibly nimble .
The Yazi Beast commenced a fierce battle with the Black Star Sawtooth Shark while the Spirit Jades in the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation continuously drained of energy, turning into a bloodthirsty light moving about in the formation .
Xiao Chen thought to himself, The Black Star Sawtooth Shark is really strong . Furthermore, this is only a juvenile, not an adult .
He was surprised that this Black Star Sawtooth Shark could fight on equal terms with the Yazi Beast Demon Soul . After all, this Demon Soul was not affected by the gravity or had a sense of pain . It was bloodthirsty and ferocious, completely inheriting the nature of the Yazi Beast .
Fortunately, this battle did not last that long . After about four hours, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark clearly could not defeat its enemy and slowly weakened . Eventually, it became exhausted and could no longer move .
The extremely bloodthirsty Yazi Beast Demon Soul started swallowing up the blood in the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s body .
Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark was nothing more than a bloodless husk, which slowly sank into the sea . The seawater ate at its body, leaving only its skeleton .
This scene happened too quickly . Those who watched it felt their scalps go numb, having gained a deep impression of the strongly corrosive nature of the starry sea .
Xiao Chen waved the war banner and dismissed the formation . The Yazi Beast turned into countless beams of light and shrank . Eventually, it dispersed into drops of blood that landed in the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation .
“Drizzle…!”
A blood rain seemed to fall on the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation . An evil-looking blood mist rose from the formation’s surface .
The carved Yazi Beast on the formation plate at the core of the formation showed an expression of enjoyment .
Xiao Chen entered deep thought . After eating a few of such huge oceanic ferocious beasts, it should be able to light up one pearl .
At that time, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul’s strength will be further improved .
Before anyone could release their bated breath, a deep lament suddenly rang out in the vast surrounding sea . With the agitation from this sound wave, the seawater started to undulate intensely .
There were waves upon waves, moving berserkly without a pattern .
The pirate ship started shaking violently . As the waves rose and fell, it could not control itself in the air .
At the top of the ship, Xiao Chen did his best to stabilize himself and looked over .
He saw a Black Star Sawtooth Shark that was several times larger coming out of the water in the distance and lamenting in a deep tone .
The young Black Star Sawtooth Shark that just died was probably its offspring . Otherwise, its cry would not be so sorrowful .
As the lament spread out, similar sounds responded further away . Then, many black dorsal fins appeared in the sea .
This sight startled Xiao Chen . This is not good!
This Black Star Sawtooth Shark took Xiao Chen’s group for a strong enemy and was currently summoning its companions .
“Retreat!”
Xiao Chen returned to the control room and got Xiao Suo to control the pirate ship to escape quickly .
While Xiao Chen’s group could deal with a young Black Star Sawtooth Shark, it had no chance against a shoal of mature Black Star Sawtooth Sharks .
The people in the control room also grew anxious . The scenes on the water screen showed at least one hundred Black Star Sawtooth Sharks .
“Captain, the waves are too big; we are too slow . ” Xiao Suo expertly controlled the pirate ship but could not do much as the waves became increasingly larger, completely suppressing them .
On the other hand, after the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks congregated, they advanced in the water en masse .
“Sink and hide!” Xiao Chen decided on the spot, spitting out the order .
No one doubted Xiao Chen’s order . Fei`er activated the Dark Night Bewildering Formation, and the ship turned pitch-black, looking like a black rock sinking into the depths of the sea .
Underwater, the pirate ship, with the Dark Night Bewildering Formation activated, silently merged with the darkness . At the same time, it covered up all signs of life within it .
The 3-Star defensive formations of the pirate ship were activated at the same time, to resist the corrosion of the starry sea .
Everyone remained quiet on the ship; no one dared to speak . This was a matter of life and death; everyone felt incredibly anxious .
The minutes ticked by . The pirate ship did not show much activity; everything remained incredibly silent .
It was like the shoal of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks did not discover the pirate ship .
Still, no one said anything . After remaining in the water for some time, Xiao Suo sensed that something was wrong . He said softly, “Why do I feel that the ship is still moving fast? The undercurrent should not be this strong . ”
Xiao Chen frowned slightly . He had no knowledge about the sea’s undercurrents . On hearing what Xiao Suo said, he quietly sent out his Spiritual Sense .
Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense was affected by the water; he could not see much .
However, just the scenes that he saw nearby were sufficient to shock him into not venturing further . Up, down, left, right, front, and back, he found mature Black Star Sawtooth Sharks in all directions .
The pirate ship was embedded in the shoal of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, which was still moving forward, searching for the pirate ship .
The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were unaware that the pirate ship was already among them . As they swam around, they created a strong slipstream that pulled the pirate ship forward .
When Xiao Chen told everyone in the control room about the situation, they were frightened silly .
They were like a lamb moving amid a pack of wolves; they could be discovered at any moment .
The pirate ship could cover up all signs of life and blend with the darkness . However, it did not truly vanish . If it accidentally touched a Black Star Sawtooth Shark or if one bit down on it by chance, the result would be absolute disaster .
Xiao Chen turned his head and said, “Xiao Suo, using what you feel from the undercurrent, control the ship and do not let the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks touch us . Otherwise, we will all die . ”
When Xiao Suo heard that, he felt immense pressure . His hand trembled, but when he saw Xiao Chen’s trusting gaze, he gritted his teeth and stepped up at this crucial moment .
