CHAPTER 510: CHAPTER 279: ENLIGHTENMENT BY THE SEA EYE

Lin Tianhao nodded and said, "That’s right, this sea area seems to be hiding some kind of secret. We must remain vigilant and not let our guard down."

The black clouds rolled, and the sea wind suddenly grew more violent. A massive force surged from beneath the sea surface, forming a gigantic sea vortex.

The large ship was engulfed by this force, instantly plunging into the whirlpool of the sea vortex.

The ship was madly churned in the sea, as if it were about to be torn to pieces.

Then, an even greater force swept in, pulling the large ship into the center of a tornado.

Gu Sheng felt a dizzying sensation, and the whole world seemed to twist and distort.

He struggled to steady himself, releasing the Demon Soul of the Green Vine, attempting to break free from the tornado’s confining grip.

The Demon Soul of the Green Vine shuttled through the tornado, breaking apart, trying to find a way to break it.

Gu Sheng retreated to the center of the tornado, carefully studying the natural patterns formed by the tornado.

"These patterns... they actually contain the power of heaven and earth!"

Gu Sheng was startled, realizing that he seemed to have touched upon some mysterious realm.

The Demon Soul of the Green Vine continuously transmitted pattern information, and Gu Sheng combined this information with his insights of heaven and earth’s power, gradually gaining understanding.

He soared upward along the tornado, seemingly becoming one with the heavens and earth.

At that moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of freedom and strength.

With a fierce effort, he managed to escape the constraints of the tornado, falling back into the sea.

The sea wind still howled, but Gu Sheng was no longer the ordinary person trapped in the tornado.

He stood on the sea surface, his gaze firm and profound.

On the vast ocean, Gu Sheng drifted alone, his golden figure faintly visible among the waves.

His cultivation had reached the peak of the Golden Bone Realm, and the Ancient Sacred Body’s physique was as if cast from gold, radiating brilliant golden light.

Suddenly, the sea surface churned, and a giant sea monster leapt out from the deep sea, its tentacles like blood, thick and long, emitting an unsettling aura.

This was a Profound Sea Tendril Demon of the Marrow Refining Realm, seemingly existing just to dominate this sea area.

"Roar!"

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon let out a thunderous roar, its tentacles writhing like giant pythons, lunging fiercely at Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng’s eyes turned slightly cold; with a flick of his body, he dodged the sea monster’s attack.

For the next three days and nights, Gu Sheng engaged in a fierce battle with the Profound Sea Tendril Demon.

Gu Sheng’s Gale Nine Swords danced with vigor, his golden palms and fists as if cast in gold and iron, each strike causing the sea monster’s tentacles to tremble.

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon’s power seemed endless, and Gu Sheng gradually felt overwhelmed.

In one intense confrontation, Gu Sheng was tightly entangled by the sea monster’s tentacles, unable to move.

He felt a massive force squeezing his body, as if trying to crush him into pieces.

At that moment, inspiration flashed in Gu Sheng’s mind, reminding him of the tornado’s principle.

Along the movement trajectory of the sea monster’s tentacles, he cleverly applied force and finally broke free from the constraints.

Gu Sheng took a deep breath, his eyes shining with a resolute gleam.

He knew that to defeat the sea monster, he must find its weakness.

Thus, he secretly activated the Demon Soul of the Green Vine, allowing it to enter the Profound Sea Tendril Demon’s mouth, quickly corroding its internal organs.

From within, the Profound Sea Tendril Demon felt waves of excruciating pain, roaring in agony but unable to rid itself of the Demon Soul of the Green Vine’s corrosion.

"Human, how dare you wound me!" The Profound Sea Tendril Demon communicated angrily to Gu Sheng through the Demon Soul of the Green Vine.

Gu Sheng stood on the Profound Sea Tendril Demon’s back, his cold gaze sweeping across the sea surface, saying indifferently, "Sea monster, you have committed countless evils, today is your doom."

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon’s enormous body thrashed in the seawater, its tentacles quivering incessantly. It felt the intense murderous intent from Gu Sheng, and a fear arose in its heart.

"Human, spare my life, and I am willing to become your mount, taking you to Central Province." The Profound Sea Tendril Demon’s voice echoed in the seawater, carrying a hint of pleading.

Gu Sheng curled his lips into a cold smile and said, "Oh? Become my mount? Do you know that I, Gu Sheng, never yield to threats, nor do I accept betrayal."

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon hastily swore, "I swear, I will never betray! Just spare my life."

Gu Sheng’s eyes flickered, seemingly considering the proposal. After a moment, he said slowly, "Fine, I will give you a chance. But if there is even a hint of betrayal, I will destroy you completely."

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon rejoiced and quickly swore allegiance.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng retracted the Demon Soul of the Green Vine, preparing to begin his journey to Central Province.

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon was not easy to tame.

Though it outwardly submitted to Gu Sheng, hidden intentions lurked within its heart.

To hasten their progress, it even caught thirty Kunpeng-like marine creatures, using its tentacles to bind them, having them pull itself forward.

Seeing this, Gu Sheng frowned slightly and said, "What is the meaning of this? Do you intend to use these creatures’ strength to turn against me?"

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon quickly explained, "No, I just want to speed up the journey and reach Central Province sooner."

Gu Sheng chuckled coldly and said, "You think I don’t know your thoughts? The Green Vine could devour your internal organs anytime, but as long as you behave, I won’t trouble you."

The Profound Sea Tendril Demon shuddered inwardly and dared not harbor any other thoughts.

Thus, under Gu Sheng’s command, the Profound Sea Tendril Demon, accompanied by a group of Kunpeng marine creatures, sped across the ocean.

On the sea surface, waves surged, and spray flew. And deep beneath the sea, a magnificent yet eerie scene unfolded.
