Divine Emperor of Death

Chapter 1136 Grand Alstreim Ocean

A flying boat shot past the mountains. A sandy shore came into view before a vast stretch of water body extended through the horizon, making the person who sat on the tiny flying boat widen his eyes in amazement. In front of the vastness of the ocean that seemed to go on without end, that person felt a bit minuscule.

"Not bad... The Grand Alstreim Ocean looks beautiful indeed..." The person's eyes gleamed as his sapphire eyes reflected the ocean surface's beauty that reflected the sunlight's rays. The shallow oceanic water frothed as waves flowed towards the shore in a seemingly harmonious manner.

"Wonderful... I should've brought my two wives along to view this scenery, but it's a pity..." The person couldn't help but lament.

Looking at the blindingly beautiful blue sea also made the person remember the time he spent traveling on the sea aboard a ship with his personal maid.

This person was none other than Davis Loret, who had just left the Alstreim Family by using his concealment skills. After he left the Grand Alstreim City a bit later due to some tasks he had, he headed west before heading north. Then he arrived at this seashore, which he slowed down for a bit and admired.

He was five hundred meters above the surface, so he was able to see the entirety of the Alstreim Family's ocean territory.

In the distance, he could see a few ports that seemed to harbor the Alstreim Family's fleet. Particularly, the Burning Sea Brigade's flag was conspicuous, not to mention that their ship alone was sixty meters tall, twenty-five meters wide, and two hundred meters long. This ship itself seemed to be made of Peak-Level King Grade Materials, making it appear sturdy and durable enough to handle the waves of the sea storm.

That's right, Davis had heard that the only boats above Earth Grade would be able to survive the sea energy that is all-present in the sea. Normally, it is not harmful at all other than radiating some pressure, but when a particular sea area turns chaotic due to the storm, or other weather conditions, the waves turn deadly enough to break lower grade materials through sheer pressure generated by the turbulent sea-water energy.

That's why most cultivators, even the sea plunderers' take a boat which is made up of Low-Level Sky Grade Materials or above to avoid being stranded after having their boats or ships broken by turbulent waves or...

Just when Davis shot past the shallow part of the ocean and the small boats that were roaming around fishing disappeared from his normal sight, he narrowed his eyes.

*Whoosh!~*

Without any warning, a ripple appeared on the surface of the sea before a magical beast shot out of it! It appeared to be a huge fish but possessed an abnormally large head that could swallow five big flying boats at the same time!

From its mouth, a spout of water shot from it, targeting the tiny flying boat that Davis was on!

*Bzzz!~*

A burst of lightning suddenly descended from the skies, piercing through the spurt of water, and starkly landed on the magical beast's head with a resounding bang! The next moment, the fish-head was fried mid-air before it ended up retreating into the sea as it plunged down.

However, it didn't move and just floated on the sea surface. It was already dead.

Davis peeked out and saw many more ripples appear on the surface of the sea around that huge fish before numerous big mouths jumped over it. Their jaws opened, and razor-sharp teeth appeared in their mouth as they pierced that huge fish's flesh. Their teeth sunk through its flesh, and swallowing sounds echoed. It wasn't long but only took a few seconds before the huge fish was devoured clean by the numerous other big fishes.

"Magical Sea-Beasts..." Davis uttered as he watched that particular part of the sea, become dyed with nothing but its blood. Even its bones were not present.

It was a Peak-Level Grand Beast Stage Magical Sea-Beast, a near Sixth Stage Magical Sea-Beast, but it wasn't a match for Davis's random burst of ordinary lightning attack. He didn't even use his black lightning since he didn't want to be recognized.

Nevertheless, the magical sea beasts were the main threats rather than the roaring ocean waves. They would necessarily not attack, but most of the time, they would crave the boats that pass by them, thinking of having a feast of human flesh and their dantians, which is certainly beneficial to all magical beasts. After all, it was where the human's energy, not to mention their talents, mainly the talent that decided their Essence Gathering Cultivation, were stored in the form of Spirit Root, and possibly the existence of other mysterious terms that Davis had never heard of.

He didn't get its magical sea-beast core, but to the current him, it was worthless. Besides, it should already be swallowed by some other big fish, currently being refined into its nutrients.

Perhaps since the other magical sea-beasts saw his strength, none of them came to attack him but just let him through. Davis also sensed with his soul sense that some kind of transmission was being sent throughout the region. Likely, he felt that it was a warning that the magical-sea beasts gave to not offend the human on this particular flying boat.

"Man, they're truly intelligent..." Davis blinked as he expected them to attack en-masse, but it looks like they were rather cautious.

"Did the Alstreim Family teach them a painful lesson...?"

Near these ocean waters, the Alstreim Family was still the king! So he felt that they were rather wary of the humans, instantly retreating after suffering a loss. After all, the Alstreim Family was around for ninety thousand years in this part. They should be painfully aware of what it means to offend humans around this region.

As Davis progressed five hundred meters above the sea surface for a few minutes with a speed of dozen kilometers per second, he felt the pressure gradually become heavy. He knew that he had now truly entered the ocean region. He steered and made the flying boat descend a few hundred meters before he arrived at the two-hundred meter level above the sea surface.

This was the approximate height where the sea's air stream and sky's airstream clashed and pressurized, but in turn, it caused the oceanic region to form a stable zone where flying boats would be able to fly without impediment. Any higher or lower, it would lead to the flying boat having to bear the thrashing that the ocean's airstream would inflict.

The only way to avoid this pressure was to journey on the surface of the sea with a boat or a ship, but these constructs would still end up bearing the pressure from the waves but is still better compared to the oceanic air pressure that would pressure both the construct and the people traveling on it unless there's a formation or enclosed space to block the pressure from harming the humans on board.

However, Davis didn't need to worry about these crushing pressures. The collective sea and sky pressure was unable to affect his flying boat as it was made with Peak-Level King Grade Materials. Even if he traveled across above five hundred meters above the ocean surface, he would not be harmed at all due to the flying boat's defenses, but since it was his first time in this raging ocean, he didn't want to make any mistakes.

However, if he flew a thousand meters above the ocean surface, the pressure would be greater, and his flying boat would be unable to handle the crushing pressure. Forget the flying boat. Even his own body would perhaps fail to handle the pressure!

Only flying boats and other constructs made up of Emperor Grade Materials and Eighth Stage Experts could maintain their flight at that zone.

With the flying boat's current speed of a dozen kilometers per second, Davis's destination was just thirty thousand kilometers away, approximately three-quarters of an hour away, but right after he passed the ten thousand kilometer point, he started encountering raging storms and swallowing whirlpools that struck fear in his heart.

It was as if the world around was going to sink him in the sea, but nevertheless, it was just a momentary delusion.

Davis knew that he had to wait for the storm to recede or turn around as the air zone in this region became chaotic due to the ocean's turmoil. Sometimes, it was possible that his flying boat would break from the turbulent pressure, even destroying his body, so he didn't want to risk it.

If he had known it would be like this, he would've directed his route a bit better, but the storm suddenly appeared, causing him to be only capable of ruefully shaking his head.

He steered the flying boat around and tried to leave, but at this moment, a dozen long tentacles shot out from the raging sea, right from the center of the whirlpool! Those flailing tentacles shot right towards his flying boat, trying to slap him out of the construct!

"Seems like you want to die, you freaking tentacle-legged octopus!" Davis stood up on the flying boat, appearing extremely annoyed.

He had gone out of his way to take a detour, but this annoying creature had needlessly infuriated him!

Essence energy surged out of him like a tide as his revolving core spun wildly in his dantian. The atmosphere around him changed, and the oceanic sky pressure was pushed away as a result, creating black sparks that turned into a terrifying sea of black lightning.

*Rumble!~*

*Rumble!~*

The surrounding two kilometers was filled with black lightning arcs that seemed like nothing above the massive stormy ocean, but to the magical sea-beast that had its tentacle claws reaching towards him, the lightning attribute was its ultimate nemesis!

"Die!"

Davis had directly summoned his Superior Law Manifestation as the million arcs of black lightning casually plunged towards the magical sea-beast like a burst of thundershower that rained down with deadly savagery!
