Bottom of the Sea

In truth, that single punch of Yu Xian's had indeed frightened many. Though it had not shattered another star, it indisputably displayed the power of the Li Rank. Numerous Star-rank powerhouses contacted one another in succession, preparing to huddle together for warmth and unite against Yu Xian. Some Star-rank powerhouses fled on the spot, terrified of being dragged into the conflict, while others sought to defect to Yu Xian, eager to quickly take a side and claim a share of the spoils in the changing tide. Then they discovered that Yu Xian had not entered Crescent Bay's Star Towers at all. Once Sea Clan vessels arrived to take aboard all the Sea Clan members from the captured warships, the Aska simply initiated a spatial jump and departed. Whatever calculations or schemes Crescent Bay's Star-rank powerhouses had harbored were reduced to a joke. A few even felt a stinging realization: things they had been ready to defend with their lives were treated as utter rubbish in his eyes. They were relieved, yet at the same time thoroughly frustrated. Of course, many wondered where the Aska had gone. …… …… Earth, beyond the atmosphere. The Aska came to a stop above the Daping Ocean, with the azure sea stretching out beneath. In ancient times, the Daping Ocean had been called the Atlantic Ocean. Later, a powerhouse emerged in South America who thought "Atlantic Ocean" sounded unpleasant, and so demanded that all nations rename the Atlantic the "South American Ocean." Roughly a hundred and fifty years later, that powerhouse died of old age. Someone then proposed changing the South American Ocean back to the Atlantic, but others feared a similar situation might arise again in the future. In the end, following discussions among numerous nations and presided over by Huaxia, it was decided to rename it the Daping Ocean, forming a pair with the Pacific Ocean. "Muse, can you pinpoint the location of the Bottom of the Sea?" Yu Xian asked Muse from the bridge. Muse replied, "Captain, according to the Aska's scans, there are several hundred special spaces within the Daping Ocean, so it is impossible to determine which specific one is the Bottom of the Sea." The Bottom of the Sea had no door number or street sign; Muse could only confirm how many special spaces existed on the seabed of the Daping Ocean, but could not determine which of them was the Bottom of the Sea. Of course, it was also possible that all of those spaces constituted the Bottom of the Sea. Yu Xian had no desire to search space by space; it was too troublesome and a waste of time. He simply activated his bond with Niman and instantly summoned Auntie Number Two. "Auntie, among the hundreds of special spaces below, which one is the Bottom of the Sea?" Yu Xian asked directly. In fact, the reason he had asked Muse first was that he didn't want to waste today's question. Over the past few days, he had asked Auntie Number Two all sorts of questions almost every single day. For instance, how to quickly master Mister Hand's legacy, how to properly control the World Eye, whether there were techniques meant to be paired with the World Eye, and so on. It had to be said that the myriad realms were full of wonders; there really were plenty of people below Star Rank who possessed knowledge that was utterly useless to themselves. And if they knew it, Auntie Number Two knew it, which meant Yu Xian learned it as well. As it turned out, there actually was a shortcut to cultivating Mister Hand's legacy: a meditation art named "Pure Fantasy Avici." Once one gained entry into this meditation method, stepping through the threshold of the Five Supremes Legacies became remarkably simple. However, this meditation method was not easy to practice either—most who attempted it were driven mad. Thus, Yu Xian had no intention of cultivating it for the time being. Returning to the matter at hand, after Yu Xian asked his question, Auntie Number Two replied, "The space at the very deepest part of the ocean is the Bottom of the Sea." "..." Yu Xian and the others fell silent for a moment. That made so much sense. Since it was called the Bottom of the Sea, of course it would be the deepest space on the seabed. If it were located in the coastal shallows near shore, how could it still be called the Bottom of the Sea? Yu Xian could easily have checked a few of the more distinctive spaces first and only asked Auntie Number Two if he came up empty. That way, he could have avoided wasting today's question entirely. "Alright, let's head out and rescue Shuishui in one go," Yu Xian said, taking a deep breath and turning to face everyone. Muse had already marked the scanned spaces. The deepest one was situated near Galama Island in the Daping Ocean. This was a very young island, born a few centuries ago from a clash between two Dragon-rank powerhouses. Nearby Galama Island lay the Milwaukee Deep. Yu Xian and his companions fused together, then donned the King of the Abyss Battle Armor before finally departing the Aska and hurtling down toward Earth. In truth, they had no real need to wear the King of the Abyss Battle Armor right now—Earth wasn't the Abyss, after all. But the sense of security the battle armor provided was simply overwhelming; wearing it was practically like having minor invincibility. If they could wear it, why wouldn't they? With their current strength, infiltrating the Bottom of the Sea was as effortless as walking into their own home. Yu Xian was a spatial ability user who not only possessed numerous spatial skills of his own, but had also acquired the World Eye—a tiger that had grown wings, his power soaring exponentially. Niman: guardian god of Yu Xian and Nora's love, former Creator God, and former Cosmos-rank powerhouse. Almost every Creator God knew a trick or two with spatial abilities, and Niman was naturally no exception—one could say she was a master of manipulating space. Little Nora: an infant Victorious True King Bird, born with command over spatial abilities and capable of freely traversing different worlds. If it ever came down to making an escape, it was undeniably the fastest runner among them. Three super spatial ability users infiltrating a space that had already been locked onto—it was child's play. Before the King of the Abyss Battle Armor could even plunge from the high heavens into the sea, a sudden ripple stirred through space, and the Sparkle Troupe slipped effortlessly into the Bottom of the Sea. The Bottom of the Sea was a dimly lit, blue-hued space. Everything around was bathed in watery aqua tones, and through the ceiling one could see the pitch-black ocean, where colossal fish occasionally flashed past in the dark. For anyone suffering from thalassophobia, this space would undoubtedly trigger severe panic. "Who are you?" Just then, a blond man rounded a corner, his brow furrowing at the sight of Yu Xian. As he spoke, a copious amount of golden liquid began pouring from his sleeves. The liquid gradually solidified into razor-sharp spikes, all aimed directly at Yu Xian. Yu Xian glanced at the man and casually threw out an Appraisal. —————— True Name: Sith-Fried Codename: Archimedes Race: Human Gender: Male Age: 68 Vitality: 180/180 Life: 1/1 Strength: 0.8 Luck: Impending Doom Theoretical Lifespan: 0 Rank: Dragon Universal Rank: Heaven Rank Faction: Ancient Sages Society Cultivation Method: None Abilities: [Liquid Gold: Can turn contacted gold into liquid and manipulate it.] [Multiplier Lever: Using one's own power as a lever, can unleash power multiplied several times over; however, if the attack fails to take effect entirely, the user dies.] [Hekatonkheires: Can consume gold to transform into a Hekatonkheires; each arm possesses the user's peak power.] [Summary: A very strong weakling.] —————— To think he was actually a core member of the Ancient Sages Society. And yet... so weak! Yu Xian thought to himself after looking over the stats. He then strolled right past Archimedes, who had not even reacted. In an instant, Archimedes was reduced to fine dust, and the liquid gold fell to the ground, hardening back into a solid state. Most likely, right up until the moment he died, Archimedes truly had no idea how he had perished...
