Chapter 344 – White Scaled Giant Crocodile
Those words sounded reasonable and there wasn’t any need for him to keep the Jade Revolving Grass on him . Declining the old turtle might actually make Lei Yu look like he didn’t trust him .
Upon returning to the main hall, a youth was seen rushing in . He was about two meters tall and extremely thin, and no different from a stick of bamboo pole . As he was entering the main hall, he was already yelling: “Sea Emperor! There’s an outsider causing trou…” Once he saw Lei Yu and the old turtle sitting together on the golden throne, his eyes glazed over .
Lei Yu stood up and smiled, “My apologies, that was a misunderstanding previously . ”
Guman’s eyes landed on the old turtle and saw the latter nod with a smile so he quickly forced a smile . “You are truly powerful . I believe in the eastern sea region, you can be considered an overlord!”
Lei Yu waved his hands and smile, “I’m in no way an overlord, I just happened to be passing by and encountered senio… the Sea Emperor who was an old friend . ”
After chatting for a bit, Lei Yu realized how the old turtle was able to carve out his own territory in the eastern sea region . The surface area of the sea was extremely huge and the further one went out, the more experts there would be . They all happened to be demonic cultivators as well . Within this region, the old turtle’s late Soul Splitting stage power could be considered as one of the peak experts, but his territory only took up a small portion of the sea region .
Demonic cultivators had one special ability – the ability to detect outsiders
or non demonic cultivators . No matter how strong that person was; once they entered their range, even if that person was at the Mahayana realm, a mere Gold Core demonic cultivator would be able to tell him apart from fellow demonic cultivators . This was because normal martial cultivators did not possess the unique aura a demonic cultivator typically had . This was something Lei Yu had experienced before when he was in the water region of the Southern Wild Lands .
“I can’t delay anymore and will be leaving right now . ” Lei Yu stood up and cupped his hands .
“When you come back, I’ll have the Jade Revolving Grass ready for you!” The old turtle cupped his hands and sent Lei Yu off .
It wasn’t that Lei Yu was in a rush, it was because the Devil King in his Universal Pouch released an aura of grievance . If Lei Yu didn’t leave soon, and the Devil King happened to suddenly pop out of the pouch… a floating skull would be a terrifying scene for others to behold . Moreover, Lei Yu didn’t have the power to trap the Devil King in the storage pouch since he couldn’t even control the trace of energy still inside his body .
After bidding farewell to the old turtle, Lei Yu flew out of the waters and into the air . He figured he would just keep on meeting more and more opponents while underwater and that was trouble he didn’t want to attract . And since he already had access to the Jade Revolving Grass, there wasn’t any further need to travel underwater .
The surface area of the sea region was no less than the landmass of the Immortal World . Lei Yu didn’t require a long
long amount of time of flying but it still took him over half a month at top speeds .
During this time, Lei Yu would occasionally take out the Sky Devouring Sword and practice the new grasped 24th form of the Thirty-six Lunar Star technique . In actual combat, this 24th form would be considered Lei Yu’s life insurance so he wouldn’t display it unless at the last resort .
Tsunamis or swells were a common occurrence in the Mortal and the Immortal World . As long as there was a strong enough wind, it would cause a huge wave . The huge waves and the gloomy skies would cause a depressive atmosphere for anyone .
Lei Yu had a foreboding that something would happen but that didn’t stop his flying . Even though he wasn’t seeking trouble, that didn’t mean trouble wouldn’t come looking for him . The current region Lei Yu was flying past happened to belong to a White Scaled Giant Crocodile that had cultivated for over 10,000 years and reached the early Boundary Transition stage .
Normal crocodiles should be living in small bodies of water such as rivers and lakes, but this White Scaled Giant Crocodile was different from others . It was an ancient demonic beast that one rarely encountered, but wasn’t ranked within the six major demonic beasts . It was only considered a very strong demonic beast, but even so, it possessed the ability to flip the earth and heavens upside down . Especially in the sea region, it allowed it to fully display its powerful abilities . Its attacks were extremely vicious and this would be considered Lei Yu’s bad luck to encounter it out of all places .
“Voluntarily leave behind your Nascent soul or else you won’t even have a whole
a whole corpse left!”
These words suddenly came from all directions . The voice came from underwater and had a muffled tone to it, but Lei Yu could hear each word very clearly .
Lei Yu never slowed down because he had already detected a huge demonic cultivator thirty miles out following behind him . It was only now that the demonic cultivator made its move .
Lei Yu didn’t panic but he still had to make some preparations . He started raising his internal energy levels so that he could either attack or run away .
“I’m only passing through so please don’t make things hard for me!” Lei Yu was floating in midair as his voice travelled in all directions . Even the surface of the water was trembling which showed how strong Lei Yu was currently .
At this time, there was a disturbance in the waters before a huge wall of water shot up a hundred meters high . Its height almost reached Lei Yu in midair . Once the wall of water crashed back down, water sprayed everywhere in the vicinity .
As the water disappeared, Lei Yu looked closely at the appearance of a towering crocodile . The appearance of this huge crocodile wasn’t that much different from other crocodiles except that its body was over forty meters in length . The width of its body was around ten meters, its body was mostly wide, its eyes were blood red and it had a vertical slit of yellow pupils . With its mouth open, one could see each sharp tooth was about half the size of Lei Yu’s body . This was only the hind teeth it used for chewing while the four front sharp teeth used for attacking was pretty much the size of Lei Yu of Lei Yu .
Even though they were so far apart, Lei Yu could still smell the fishy stench of the crocodile’s breath .
Seeing such a huge creature, Lei Yu’s expression never faltered while the green brand on his right arm started flashing faintly . If things turned south, the powerful force inside him could be easily released at a moment’s time .
After licking its lips, the White Scaled Giant Crocodile used a low but ear deafening cold tone: “You dare to intrude upon my White Scaled Giant Crocodile’s territory? Leave your Nascent soul behind for my consumption or else I will rip you into shreds!”
Lei Yu’s body twitched a bit as he narrowed his eyes . “It looks like you want me to leave my Nascent soul no matter what?”
“That’s right!”
Lei Yu coldly sneered, “Since I’m going to die anyway, I might as well fight it out with you for the hell of it . ”
Lei Yu’s words lightly startled the giant crocodile . When others faced him, not many would dare to say such words . He never imagined this human in front of him would have such courage .
Although the White Scaled Giant Crocodile was a level higher than him, Lei Yu had his own unique abilities and the Sky Devouring Sword . Facing such a terrifying and vicious looking demonic beast, Lei Yu was still confident he would be able to safely run away .
But the hot blooded him didn’t want to do that . Once someone strong meets another strong person, not being able to exchange some moves would be such a pity . This was the first strong enemy that Lei Yu had encountered ever since reaching the late Soul Splitting stage so he wanted to test out his own strength .
