It felt wonderful. He could clearly tell that he gained more from cultivating in the sea compared to doing so normally on land.
Slowly, by communicating the sea, he gained a certain level of enlightenment on the two secret techniques his father left him. This was especially true of the second technique which had a spatial system’s ability. In a sense, it mimicked a part of the sea’s power.
The rolling of the seas and the folding of space. There seemed to be something tugging at his heart.
Xie Xie felt his body ascending quickly. This was a strange feeling, especially when he got closer to the sea’s surface and light started beaming down. Gazing at the shimmering sea was a most wonderful view.
“Big Brother, where’s our submarine?” Xie Xie could not help but ask.
Tang Wulin replied, “They’re still waiting for you in the deep seas. Let’s have them stay there for a while. I have another plan to delay the Federal Army’s attack.”
“What plan is that?” Xie Xie asked with cusiority.
Tang Wulin replied, “You’ll know when you see it later. I’m not sure if it’ll work right now, but we should have a chance.”
Their surroundings had become brightly lit as they were about to break surface. Tang Wulin knew that the moment of truth for him had finally come.
As a guide, even if he was the Sea God’s son, he would not be able to cause a large enough change if he could not bear the pressure.
The length of time he could stall the Federal Fleet depended on his own endurance.
The sea parted on its own. A water column slowly raised Tang Wulin and Xie Xie’s bodies out of the water. With the shimmering bluish radiance, it was as if Tang Wulin was born in the sea.
The sea was calm and there was no wind. The sun hung high in the air and clear skies extended for thousands of miles.
His current position was about thirty nautical miles away from the Federal Fleet. This range was already within the range of the fleet’s radar.
However, there was a barrier oflight around Tang Wulin’s and Xie Xie’s bodies. Formed by the seawater, the barrier appeared to be very thin, but it could not be detected by radar. This was the power of nature.
Tang Wulin looked at Xie Xie beside him, “No matter what happens next, you must keep quiet. All you have to do is to wait for me here.”
“I understand.” Xie Xie made a gesture of pulling a zip across his lips as a sign that he would not say anything.
Tang Wulin smiled and then he looked up to the skies. He seemed to be talking to himself when he said, “Let’s start.”
He raised his right arm slowly and pointed skyward.
In an instant, the golden trident rune on his forehead burst into light. With Tang Wulin’s body as the center, the seawater around him started rolling.
The sea surface was calm just moments ago, but, in no time, frightful, billowy waves started forming all around him.
Xie Xie clearly saw that from within these rolling waves forming around Tang Wulin, countless faint bluish sparkles started rising toward the skies.
Because these sparks of light were so tiny, they were not easily seen with the naked eye. Xie Xie could only see them when they were around Tang Wulin.
The calm seas began to boil, and extremely dense energy rose from beneath the waves. On the sea’s surface, the waves picked up speed.
The sea did not have consciousness itself, so it was incapable of acting on its own. It was a part of nature. It could only be guided to accomplish some things when its lord came.
Tang Wulin could not control the seas, but in this moment, he could guide the seas to manifest some phenomena that could also occur under natural circumstances. For example, a tempest.
His right hand pointing toward the heavens slowly turned a brilliant blue. Behind Tang Wulin, a golden figure slowly appeared.
The figure was not of significant size. It appeared to have almost the same height as Tang Wulin, but it was emitting a golden glow.
Long, bluish hair fell loosely behind his head and his handsome face was at least sixty to seventy percent similar to Tang Wulin’s. There was also a golden trident’s pattern on his forehead. His pair of eyes looked so deep that they seemed to be able to reflect the entire starry sky.
In that instant, the sunny skies turned gloomy. There seemed to be a pressure that was taking form in the void. On the sea’s surface, the wind started picking up speed and the waves intensified. The sun was slowly covered by dark clouds, and the entire sea seemed to have awoken from its slumber. It seemed to be warming itself up to release its own roar.
…
Sitting with his back straight and still pondering on the earlier incident, the Boundless Sea Douluo suddenly opened his eyes. A flash went across his eyes and he was already in the air above the mothership in the next instant.
He strained his eyes to look into the distance. From his position, he could see the sea waves intensifying, and dense water elements were rising into the air quickly.
‘Is someone guiding the sea’s power? Could it be the same person from before?’
The Boundless Sea Douluo’s brows were tightly knitted together, and his expression was grim. If it was indeed the same person, what was he planning to do? What could he do?
The skies turned gloomy. There seemed to be the faint flickering of lightning amidst the heavy dark clouds.
The Boundless Sea Douluo felt shock in his heart. As a Limit Douluo who dominated in the water, his inheritance came from the line of the ancient Sea Douluos. He was born with a natural intimacy with the oceans. However, at that very moment, he felt that the sea seemed to be releasing furious howls. He found it difficult to control the seas around the mothership as well.
‘What a formidable person! What kind of power would they have to possess to be able to accomplish such a feat?’
“Attention, all units! Prepare the Strategy Alliance! All units should not make any rash movements and wait for my order,” Chen Xinjie immediately gave the order to calm his army. At the same time, he was already moving with blinding speed toward the epicenter of the storm he sensed brewing faraway. He wanted to see what kind of person was capable of creating such a disturbance in the seas and even make the sea reject him.
Even though the weather was unpredictable at sea, it was still rare for the skies to suddenly turn stormy when it was perfectly bright just moments ago. Moreover, he could even feel that the sea’s power was rejecting him, the Boundless Sea Douluo. This was definitely not something usual!
What made the sea act in this way? Without a doubt, this was not a natural phenomenon. Somebody must have been guiding the forces of the seas, or perhaps a powerful oceanic beast was the cause.
If it was an oceanic soul beast that was capable of making the sea repel him, a quasigod, then it must have been a Great Beast with a powerful cultivation base. It might very well be the true overlord of the seas. If it was a human being, then there was no doubt that the person belonged to the Star Luo Empire. Regardless, they were both beings which they had not accounted for in their plans.
A clash of thunder broke the silence brought by the dark storm. The sky suddenly flickered rapidly as great clusters of lightning began to pulse.
Scores of lightning flashes, forming a giant electric net crisscrossing the skies. Lightning bolts shot downward continuously as they stabbed the sea’s surface.
The rolling thunder sounded like the roar of Heaven and Earth. Ripples formed on the shaking sea’s surface, and thick lightning and water elements weaved together in the air, spreading outward. There seemed to be no end to them.
Tang Wulin looked up to the skies, and a slightly anxious voice sounded within his heart. It seemed to be urging him to do something.
A faint smile appeared on Tang Wulin’s face. He beat his pair of Golden Dragon King’s wings behind him and his body shot upward.
Xie Xie was pulled along with his ascent. They were flying toward the thunder clouds in the air.
