Li Yang nodded slightly and said to Zhou Yao with a smile, "Let’s go."
"Second Uncle, Aunt, we’re leaving." Zhou Yao waved to Zhou Tiantao and Zhou Xiaoyun.
Then, under their envious gazes, she and Li Yang soared into the sky, flying off into the distance.
...
"Wow, Li Yang, the ocean looks so breathtaking, so beautiful."
Flying over the ocean with Li Yang, Zhou Yao looked down at the constantly churning seawater and marveled.
Li Yang smiled and said, "The view is even more beautiful in the morning."
He took Zhou Yao sightseeing all over the ocean.
Meanwhile, deep beneath the sea, his octopus clone was swimming about aimlessly.
Li Yang’s power had reached the Peak of King Level, and so had his octopus clone’s.
It had even grown to a length of fifty meters, making it an absolutely invincible presence in the ocean!
In all this time, given the octopus clone’s incredible speed, it had explored a vast, unknown expanse of the ocean. It had even discovered several large shipwrecks, which still contained many items.
To the current Li Yang, however, those shipwrecks held no value, so he couldn’t be bothered with them.
’Hm? The seafloor seems a lot quieter today. So many of the sea creatures are gone.’
The octopus clone swam on, a flicker of confusion in its eyes.
’The seafloor used to be teeming with all sorts of creatures, but today it feels like many have vanished. I can’t even spot any large schools of fish.’
As it was puzzling over this, the octopus clone suddenly whipped a tentacle out, striking at a specific spot.
A giant shark, over twenty meters long, was charging it. Its eyes were filled with pure savagery, and showing no fear of the octopus clone, it lunged forward, snapping at it with its sharp teeth.
’A Heaven-level shark!’
The octopus clone’s expression remained unchanged. Mutated beasts existed in the ocean; Li Yang had encountered them long ago. Shao Jie had even witnessed one of those battles, after which he had invited Li Yang to join the Celestial Origin Palace.
With its power at the Peak of King Level, dealing with a Heaven-level shark was effortless for the octopus clone. A single tentacle wrapped around the giant shark and crushed the life out of it.
Just as it was about to leave, a look of utter disbelief filled the octopus clone’s eyes.
Five more great white sharks had appeared in the surrounding water. They were all over ten meters long and radiated auras of Earth-Level or Heaven-level power. One of them had even reached the Peak of Heaven-level!
’How is this possible? How could so many mutated great white sharks suddenly appear down here?’
At that moment, high above the ocean, a flicker of confusion appeared in Li Yang’s eyes.
’According to Celestial Origin Palace records, most mutated beasts only gain power comparable to a Cultivator after accidentally consuming things like Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs.’
’But Spirit Fruit and Medicinal Herbs are incredibly rare, so mutated beasts are few and far between. Besides, the strongest among them never surpassed the Peak of Heaven-level.’
’That’s why no nation considered these mutated beasts a major threat.’
’But for so many of them to appear at once, all of them this powerful?’ ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
’Could a large number of medicinal herbs and Spirit Fruits have appeared somewhere?’ Li Yang thought to himself.
The octopus clone darted forward and killed all the giant great white sharks in the area.
Then, the octopus clone continued on its way.
As it went, it kept encountering mutated sea creatures, including one that was at the King Level!
It also came across a large fishing boat. A mutated sea creature was clearly about to attack the vessel, but fortunately, the octopus clone killed it just in time.
"Li Yang, what’s wrong?"
High above the ocean, Zhou Yao couldn’t help but ask when she saw the expression on Li Yang’s face constantly changing.
Li Yang said in a grave tone, "Zhou Yao, I need to make a call."
He immediately dialed Shen Xuan’s number.
’For so many powerful, mutated creatures to suddenly appear in the ocean... this is definitely not a coincidence!’
"Hello?"
Shen Xuan’s voice came through the phone.
Zhou Yao knew Li Yang was calling Shen Xuan, the most powerful expert on Earth, so she didn’t dare to speak, remaining quietly by his side.
"Palace Master, I’m in an area over the eastern Pacific Ocean," Li Yang said quickly. "I’ve discovered a large number of mutated sea creatures here, some even at the King Level!"
"I already know."
Shen Xuan’s voice was also grave. "That alien, Jin Mola, is behind this."
"Jin Mola?" Li Yang was taken aback.
"Li Yang, the oceans are not safe right now," Shen Xuan said. "I’ve already issued an order for everyone at sea to return to shore immediately. I need you to take responsibility for the surrounding waters and prevent those mutated sea creatures from attacking civilians."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yang’s phone buzzed with an incoming message.
"ALERT! ALERT! Extreme danger detected in the ocean. Please return to shore as soon as possible..."
The message was from the emergency alert system!
It wasn’t just Li Yang; Zhou Yao’s phone went off as well, displaying the same message.
Hearing Shen Xuan’s words, Li Yang immediately nodded. "Understood, Palace Master."
After hanging up, Zhou Yao quickly asked, "Li Yang, is something wrong?"
"Yes," Li Yang said gravely. "The ocean is now filled with mutated creatures whose power is on par with Cultivators. Zhou Yao, I’m taking you back first."
"Okay." Zhou Yao nodded at once, knowing Li Yang had important things to do. freewebnøvel.coɱ
After dropping Zhou Yao off on shore, Li Yang immediately flew back.
As soon as he returned, he received another message, this one from the Celestial Origin Palace.
"Li Yang, this is the satellite tracking for all fishing boats... One vessel is currently under attack by a sea creature."
Reading the message, Li Yang immediately flew toward the fishing boat’s location.
As he flew, Li Yang asked, "Soul Ink, do you have any idea what’s going on?"
Soul Ink didn’t appear, but his voice sounded in Li Yang’s mind.
"If I’m not mistaken, a Blue Spirit Potion was released into the ocean."
"Blue Spirit Potion? What’s that?" Li Yang pressed.
"Hm... The Blue Spirit Potion is an extremely volatile agent that forces biological evolution. If any living thing consumes even a trace of it—even a normal person—their power will instantly surge to the Peak of King Level in a very short time!"
"What? From an ordinary person straight to the Peak of King Level?"
Li Yang was shocked. "So it’s a potion that grants a massive, temporary boost in power?"
’Just like those Spirit Fruits and medicinal herbs that, once consumed, cause one’s power to skyrocket in a short period.’
"Yes, but for all its powerful effects, the side effects are immense. Once the potion wears off, death is virtually guaranteed," Soul Ink stated calmly.
Soul Ink continued, "From the looks of it, the Blue Spirit Potion was released into the ocean and has been diluted countless times over. However, even in its diluted state, it’s enough to cause many Earth-Level and Heaven-level mutated creatures to appear in your planet’s oceans. It might even create a few King-Level ones!"
