The Nine Cauldrons

Book 7 Chapter 2 An Enormous Creature

As Teng Qingshan submerged below the sea waters, he spun along with the force of the whirlpool

“It’ll be very troublesome if the tungsten wood vessel was sucked into the deepest areas of the whirlpool. I only have one boat!” Teng Qingshan glanced downward and saw distinctly with his night vision that there was a long and thick stream of water in the deeper areas of the sea ahead. Struck by a thought, Teng Qingshan made up his mind.

Whew!

Dashing out of the sea waters immediately, Teng Qingshan began utilizing the Innate True Origin and performed Qing Gong ‘Crossing Worlds’.

With a fierce stomp of the surface of the water, “Sou!”

He pierced through the air like an arrow and leaped a few times in the sea water before he descended on the deck of the tungsten wood vessel.

“Walla—” Teng Qingshan opened the cabin door and rushed inside at lightning speed.

The cabin continued to shake, and many boxes, clothes, pots, and bowls fell and scattered on the ground. Fortunately, all the bowls, and pots were made of iron and thus not easily broken.

“Big Brother Teng, what’s going on outside?” Li Jun, who was in the cabin, asked worriedly. Teng Qingshan took the Dark Blaze Rod in the cabin and answered with a smile, “It’s nothing major, just a big whirlpool! It will settle itself in a while!” Holding the Dark Blaze Rod, Teng Qingshan rapidly headed outside the cabin and closed the cabin door.

Standing on the deck, Teng Qingshan could feel the vessel shaking and swaying.

“It’s just a whirlpool.” Teng Qingshan leaped down the tungsten wood vessel, diving into the chaotic sea.

At this moment, the sea was gloomy, dark, and chaotic like a roaring, gigantic beast. Although the whirling force was strong, it could not restrain the actions of a powerful expert like Teng Qingshan. With the Dark Blaze Rod in hand, Teng Qingshan dove directly into the deeper areas of the sea.

The surface of the sea was extremely chaotic, but the deeper areas of the sea were rather quiet.

Teng Qingshan could see with his eyes a path towards the whirling stream of water!

“Destroy it!” Teng Qingshan moved his legs and swam towards the stream of water rapidly.

As he approached the stream of water, Teng Qingshan could faintly feel the sucking and whirling force. “Hmph!” Teng Qingshan dashed into the stream of water. The moment he entered the stream of whirling water, the madly spinning force caused Teng Qingshan to only be able to hear the violent sounds, “WallaWalla~~”

“Stop!” The Innate True Origin enveloping Teng Qingshan’s body quivered and stabilized Teng Qingshan.

“Spin!”

With a deep roar, Teng Qingshan began spinning the Dark Blaze Rod in the opposite direction of the whirlpool! Revolving the Dark Blaze Rod in the reverse direction in the center of the whirling stream of water was a very difficult thing, but Teng Qingshan still did it.

“Whew, Whew!” He continued spinning the Dark Blaze Rod.

“I don’t have enough strength!”

Teng Qingshan’s face was slightly flushed, but his arms suddenly bulged, bursting the sleeves. The revolving Dark Blaze Rod could initially be seen with naked eyes, but now, due to the speed of the rotation, the Dark Blaze Rod couldn’t be seen clearly. It just spun in the opposite direction, disturbing and shaking the whirlpool’s motion.

The whirlpool in the bottom of the sea still refused to give in, but the powerful force of the whirlpool in the bottom of the sea was destroyed whenever it reached Teng Qingshan’s location.

Naturally, Teng Qingshan dispersed the stream of whirling water above.

……

In the cabin of the tungsten wood vessel, Li Jun grasped the walls of the cabin as she tried to stabilize herself.

“It’s steady now!” Li Jun realized that the swaying of the cabin gradually decreased. Soon, there wasn’t much movement at all.

“Big Brother Teng settled the matter?” Li Jun opened the door and walked to the deck.

The sea during the dark night was gloomy, like a monster that devoured humans.

However, at this moment, the whirlpool had dissipated and the surface of the sea only swayed slightly.

“Where is Big Brother Teng?” Li Jun scrutinized the surrounding and saw that although the seawater was still rolling Teng Qingshan was nowhere to be found.

……

Amidst the sea waters, Teng Qingshan was swimming downward while disrupting the whirlpool.

Actually, Teng Qingshan had two choices. One was to continue destroying the whirlpool and let the tungsten wood vessel drift away from that region. However, this method would take a long time. The second choice was to dive into the bottom in search for the source of the whirlpool. By destroying the source of the whirlpool temporarily, he would be able to leave safely on the vessel. Without a doubt, Teng Qingshan chose the second method!

“I wonder how this whirlpool was produced.” Teng Qingshan felt puzzled.

Within only a few moments, Teng Qingshan arrived the bottom of the sea.

“What is this?”

Teng Qingshan saw a dirty, secretive enormous creature with golden spots on its body lying prostrate at the bottom of the sea. It sucked a large amount of the stream of water in its mouth and sprayed the large amount of the water out from a body part that resembled gills. The gigantic creature was over twenty Zhang long and was even larger than the thunderwhale that Teng Qingshan saw earlier.

“Sucking the stream of water? What is it doing?” Teng Qingshan watched in confusion as he said to himself, “With a length of over twenty Zhang, it must weighed over a hundred Jin!”

“It has golden spots on its body and looks slightly like the thunderwhale! But—this demonic beast has a horn akin to a trenchant saber! I will just temporarily call it…...Unicorn Thunderwhale.”

Teng Qingshan could see that the monster had numerous teeth, a total of five rows of teeth that in jagged angles. The rocks and algae that flowed along with the sea water were blocked outside its mouth by the rows of teeth.

“Buddy!” Teng Qingshan shouted loudly.

The enormous creature stared at Teng Qingshan with golden eyes as big as wagon wheels. It suddenly closed its mouth and stopped swallowing.

“That’s a good boy!” Teng Qingshan smiled and began swimming upward.

The enormous creature suddenly opened its mouth.

“Wham!”

A stream of water forcefully shot towards Teng Qingshan at the speed of lightning.

Teng Qingshan, who was originally swimming upwards, immediately turned and forcefully moved his right leg like a windmill, bringing a great force of over a hundred Jin. The right leg stirred the waterflow and struck the stream of water.

“Bam!”

The stream of water bursted due to the kick. The waterflow in the bottom of the sea suddenly vibrated as it disseminated.

“Roar~~” With a rapid flap of its tail, the Unicorn Thunderwhale dashed before Teng Qingshan while emitting a furious roar. The rage due to the provocation could be seen in its gold-colored eyes! It was the king of this region, and none of the other demonic beasts dared to provoke it.

Yet, a small human had the audacity to approach?

Teng Qingshan stared at the Unicorn Thunderwhale and shook his head as he said, “Big fellow, I only asked you to stop so that I can steer my vessel away. Although I don’t mind fighting with you, I don’t want to bully demonic beasts!” Teng Qingshan had seen Emptiness Realm demonic beasts a few times in the past, which were very different from Golden Dan demonic beasts.

Each action of a Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast could cause the force of the Heavens and Earth to quiver, and just a look could give people an absolute pressure.

Teng Qingshan could still remember the fear he felt when he first saw that Demonic Dragon Violet Rain.

As for the Unicorn Thunderwhale before his eyes, Teng Qingshan could tell that it was just a Golden Dan innate demonic beast! Actually, Emptiness Realm demonic beasts were very rare, and it wasn’t that easy to encounter one. After receiving the enlightenment of the second stage of the 《Earth Element Fist》, Teng Qingshan felt extremely confident in a fight against an Golden Dan innate demonic beast!

Teng Qingshan nevertheless didn’t want to bully a Golden Dan innate demonic beast.

“Roar~~” The Unicorn Thunderwhale was extremely intelligent and was able to sense Teng Qingshan’s attitude.

This attitude immediately enraged it.

“Boom!” Moving its tail back and forth, the Unicorn Thunderwhale dashed towards Teng Qingshan in a flash. Simultaneously, it opened its terrifying huge maw! Each razor-sharp tooth in its huge mouth was even bigger than a human’s head. There were a total of five rows of such teeth. Just by looking, one could feel the sharpness of each tooth.

Teng Qingshan immediately brandished the Dark Blaze Rod in his hand.

“Bam!” He struck the Unicorn Thunderwhale’s head. However, the surface layer of the skin was too tough. Teng Qingshan only wounded the skin, causing some blood to flow out.

“Whew!” The Unicorn Thunderwhale produced shockingly powerful sucking force as it bit towards Teng Qingshan with its bloody big mouth.

“Oh no!” Only when Teng Qingshan was near the Unicorn Thunderwhale’s mouth could he feel how terrifying this sucking force was. He felt himself unable to control his own body and almost got sucked into the Unicorn Thunderwhale’s mouth. Teng Qingshan’s facial expression changed slightly as he said to himself, “The head of this creature is already that strong, so the teeth must be even stronger!” Most likely, the moment he entered the mouth of this creature, he would immediately be crunched and die!

To demonic beasts, their sharp claws and teeth were their Godly Weapons.

With a crunch and a munch, the demonic beast could even chew Godly Weapons into scrap iron.

“Hmph!” Teng Qingshan waved his Dark Blaze Rod and smashed against the teeth, causing a powerful rebound force that helped Teng Qingshan escape from the sucking force.

“Roar~~” The Unicorn Thunderwhale drifted in the bottom of the sea as it stared at Teng Qingshan.

Holding the Dark Blaze Rod, Teng Qingshan stared at the enormous creature and smiled, “I originally did not wanted to fight you, but since you are so interested in a fight, I will play around with you!” With this, Teng Qingshan instantly transformed into a blurred afterimage as he darted towards the Uniorn Thunerwhale. Simultaneously, he withdrew his Innate True Origin and filled his entire body with Internal Supreme Force!

It was an explosion of strength!

“Roar~~~” The Unicorn Thunderwhale, whose status had not been challenged for many years, also charged forward with a roar. The man and demonic beast began fighting at the bottom of the sea! The demonic beast thought that it had been provoked, while the human was originally ready to fight. The two naturally began fighting madly.

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

The force of Teng Qingshan’s Dark Blaze Rod was powerful and heavy as Teng Qingshan became serious and assumed his already-perfect defensive stance.

“WhewWhew~~~” Whirling waterflow appeared around Teng Qingshan. The Unicorn Thunderwhale roared furiously as the rod struck repeatedly, inflicting many wounds on its enormous body. But because its body was too big, those wounds could only be counted as minor.

Suddenly——

“ChiChi~~” An azure golden electrical glow permeated the Unicorn Thunderwhale’s body and surged crazily towards the horn on top of its head! Seeing this scene, Teng Qingshan’s facial expression changed drastically as he said in shock, “Is this monster really a thunderwhale?” ‘Unicorn Thunderwhale’ was just a temporary name that Teng Qingshan gave the demonic beast.

Teng Qingshan do not know what type of demonic beast this was since the thunderwhales were of a different color and did not have a horn on their head.

At the bottom of the sea, the electrical glow concentrated on the horn on the head of the gigantic creature and transformed into a pure gold color! The Unicorn Thunderwhale then glared coldly at Teng Qingshan with the eyes as big as wagon wheels.

“Xiu!”

The gold-colored electrical glow shot out of the horn. Seeing this, Teng Qingshan enveloped himself with a layer of the glow of Innate True Origin.

“It’s too fast!” Teng Qingshan didn’t have time to dodge since the gold-colored electrical light had already reached him.

Pu!

The enveloping glow of Innate True Origin instantly burst apart, and the electrical glow immediately attacked Teng Qingshan’s body. The strong electric current caused Teng Qingshan’s muscles and bones to twitch. However, the Internal Supreme Force hidden deep within the every cell immediately surged out and dispersed the electric current. The earth yellow flash could be seen even on Teng Qingshan’s long hair.

At this moment, Teng Qingshan…...

His skin simultaneously flashed a gold-colored electrical glow and a earthy yellow glow.

The Unicorn Thunderwhale stared at the scene in shock. The human before its eyes actually survived its attack!
