With turquoise waters as blue as the sky, the deep sea down below rippled slightly.
Austin and the twelve zodiac animals landed on the waves.
Suddenly out of nowhere,
a big ship came into view.
With a significantly deep draft, it was loaded with many different containers.
"Although the cultivation culture in this planet is close to the end, and a vast majority of creatures have
never had the chance to cultivate,
it has created a new civilization.
Creatures here found another way to release the energy contained in various objects from the nature.
That's incredible!"
The sky-devouring dog didn't hide its amazement.
The surface of Austin's and the twelve zodiac animals' bodies were covered with the law of space,
which prevented ordinary creatures from noticing them.
That was why, even though the ship passed right by them, the people on the ship didn't see them at all.
The twelve zodiac animals were curious to see the kind of science and technology that the Earth had,
so they released their spiritual senses to scan the ship for all necessary information.
"Well, science and technology is actually nothing to us divine gods.
But for ordinary creatures, especially those mortals who don't practice martial arts, it's a big deal and
very helpful."
The twelve zodiac animals were all full of praise for the level of technology on Earth.
At this moment,
the calm sea
suddenly became turbulent.
Thick and dark clouds gathered in the sky, and deadly lightning began to strike in different places.
Huge waves started rolling and ebbing to massive heights.
There were a few places where the sea water spun crazily and formed several whirlpools, like the
gaping mouths of deadly sea monsters. It was extremely terrifying.
"I can sense a large amount of energy fluctuation!
Something has emerged from under the sea!"
Austin and the twelve zodiac animals looked down into the deep, dark waters.
Splash!
Suddenly, several black chains quickly reached out from the bottom of the sea and entangled the ship.
All the people on the ship began to scream in horror, but soon they couldn't move because they were
sealed by a strange law.
Then the black chains slowly dragged the ship down to the bottom of the sea.
Frozen with fear, all the people on the ship stood still like soulless puppets, unable to fight back.
"Let's go down and have a look,"
Austin said to the twelve zodiac animals. He concealed his aura and followed the black chains down to
the bottom of the sea.
The black chains moved very fast, and in a brief moment, they had dragged the ship to the bottom of
the sea.
Austin and the twelve zodiac animals followed it closely.
"Look! There is an entrance to another space!"
the tiger exclaimed.
The space at the bottom of the sea fluctuated constantly and was extremely unstable.
The ship was dragged by the black chains and disappeared in the rippling space.
With the cultivation bases of Austin and the twelve zodiac animals, it was easy for them to tell at a
glance that there was a portal.
"It turns out that there is a world deep under this part of the sea,"
said Austin.
He thought of the foretold legends about this region under the sea.
Many ships and even aircraft would mysteriously disappear here.
It might have something to do with this world under the sea.
"Come on. Let's go inside!"
Austin told his companions and walked towards the entrance.
Just then, a resistance group consisting of the power of space dashed towards Austin.
To their surprise, there was an array protecting the entrance.
But to Austin, this array was nothing to be worried about.
Austin simply waved his hand and casually broke into the array.
The twelve zodiac animals also effortlessly passed through the entrance.
Sure enough, there was a small world inside.
Most parts of the small world were filled with water.
And on the water were many islands.
As they looked around,
they noticed that there were many ships floating on the water. Some of them were rotten old wooden
ships, while others were massive tankers made of steel.
To Austin's surprise, there were also many planes on some of the small islands.
Some of them were very old, and some were new and modern.
Obviously, these planes and ships were from different eras of shipping and aviation.
"I see!
On the Earth, there has always been a widely known legend that the ships and planes passing
dangerously close to the Bermuda Triangle would mysteriously disappear.
Those missing ships and planes have actually ended up in this small world!"
Austin was suddenly enlightened.
It seemed that
he had inadvertently solved one of the biggest mysteries in the history of the Earth.
"Look, it's the ship we saw just now,"
the tiger said as it pointed at the distance.
Indeed, there was the same ship, floating and moving with fluctuations of the water.
This time however, the ship appeared to be empty.
"It seems that there is a master in this place.
Let's go and have a look,"
Austin sneered.
He had already sensed where the crew of the ship was. He flashed and strode in that direction.
In no time,
Austin stepped on an island which was much larger than other islands around it.
"Humph! Stop playing tricks. Show yourself!"
Both Austin and the twelve zodiac animals braced themselves and stared at a wide flat ground.
All of a sudden,
the flat ground shook violently as if there was a high magnitude earthquake.
Then, the ground cracked, and a gigantic altar slowly rose and floated in midair.
The altar covered an area of several thousand square meters.
It was equal to a small piece of land.
On the altar, there were many houses and palaces.
Upon looking closely, they found that many human beings lived there.
In the center of the altar was a huge flood dragon, crawling on the ground as if guarding something. It
stared fiercely at Austin and the twelve zodiac animals with its huge eyes.
It was noticeable that the flood dragon was tied up by dozens of black chains.
Each black chain was attached to a massive stone pillar.
These stone pillars formed an array to seal the flood dragon inside and to prevent it from escaping.
"I can't believe that there is a master at the Divine Realm here on the Earth,"
Austin said coldly as he stared at the flood dragon in surprise.
"Who are you?
And why did you break into my territory?"
Although the flood dragon looked fierce, it was actually very fearful of Austin and the twelve zodiac
animals.
As soon as Austin and his companions entered this small world, it had already felt their presence.
However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't identify their real strength.
Because of this, it was somewhat scared.
"Oh, is this your territory?
How can we be sure? It appears that you are just a prisoner here,"
Austin mocked.
"Tell me.
Why are you tied up like that?
And what is the reason that you keep these ships, planes and humans here?"
Austin asked.
