Eternal Saber-Chapter 279 - 3: Gentle Disposition

Chen Tang’s center of gravity sank, and he hurriedly stabilized his posture.

An earthquake?

Before he could react, the island started to move!

This...

Chen Tang suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Buzz buzz..."

At that moment, a strange, melodious sound emerged from beneath the sea of the lonely island.

East Sea Giant Demon!

Chen Tang was shocked.

There was no island; he had landed on the body of the East Sea Giant Demon!

Beneath his feet was no soft soil, only the thick keratin layer of the Giant Demon.

Chen Tang quickly calmed down.

His appearance on the East Sea Giant Demon was likely no coincidence.

Perhaps this Giant Demon saved him?

Otherwise, if this Giant Demon had simply sunk to the seabed, he would have perished in the East Sea long ago during the days he was unconscious.

On this vast ocean, only by being on the East Sea Giant Demon could he possibly survive and avoid attacks and being devoured by other sea beasts.

Chen Tang pondered briefly.

The East Sea Giant Demon had a fight with that Black Dragon; they clearly didn’t get along.

This Giant Demon might have saved him because he was being hunted by the Black Dragon.

In retrospect, the Thunder Leopard carrying him into the East Sea must have sensed the presence of the East Sea Giant Demon and lured the Black Dragon away.

I wonder how the Thunder Leopard is doing, if it’s still alive.

Just as Chen Tang was lost in thought, a tremor came from the massive body of the East Sea Giant Demon again.

The next moment, the East Sea Giant Demon rapidly sank.

The gigantic body submerged, causing the surrounding sea to plunge rapidly, forming a huge whirlpool, with an incredibly strong drag force!

Chen Tang was uncontrollably drawn into it by the seawater.

In an instant, countless streams of seawater invaded his mouth, nose, and ears.

Chen Tang hurriedly held his breath, widening his eyes, trying to control his body as much as possible.

But with his strength, whether on the East Sea Giant Demon or in the vast ocean, he seemed utterly insignificant.

Chen Tang was pulled by numerous undercurrents, unable to control himself, feeling a dizzying swirl.

The surrounding pressure squeezed Chen Tang’s body, as though every inch of his skin was enduring immense pressure, and the air in Chen Tang’s lungs seemed about to be forced out!

A sense of suffocation surged in his heart.

Chen Tang kicked frantically, treading water, attempting to leap out of the sea.

But with the colossal body of the East Sea Giant Demon submerged in the water, the force creating the whirlpool was unimaginable, and Chen Tang couldn’t resist, his body continued to sink.

Note that in the seawater, the deeper the position, the more intense the surrounding water pressure!

Chen Tang didn’t know how far he had sunk; he only felt all the bones in his body enduring immense pressure, cracking with noise.

His eyeballs seemed about to pop out at any moment.

His ears had long been filled with seawater, clogged, causing a stabbing pain!

Under this pressure, his lungs felt like they were about to burst!

A trickle of blood began to seep from Chen Tang’s mouth, nose, and ears. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Even with a body cultivated to the Four Extremes Realm, he couldn’t withstand it.

His bones seemed glued together; forget struggling upwards, even lifting his limbs was exceptionally difficult.

More terrifying, the surrounding seawater in the deep sea was not blue, instead, it was faintly glowing, nearly blue-black.

Adding the immense body of the East Sea Giant Demon underneath, a fear induced by the deep sea, the giant beast, and death suddenly surged in his heart!

Human strength in this moment appeared utterly small.

Chen Tang felt a wave of powerlessness rise in his heart.

What superior martial arts, mystical Buddhist scriptures, all appeared insignificant in the face of such powers from heaven and nature.

Everything was beyond his control.

In comparison to the East Sea, he was merely a speck.

Chen Tang thought just moments ago that the East Sea Giant Demon had saved him.

Unexpectedly, he was merely wishful thinking.

"Glub glub!"

Chen Tang finally couldn’t hold on; his tightly closed lips parted, releasing a series of bubbles, his consciousness gradually sinking.

He seemed to be sinking with his body into the boundless dark abyss of the sea floor.

Bam!

The next moment, Chen Tang suddenly felt a massive force beneath him, lifting him, rapidly rising towards the surface!

Soon, Chen Tang surfaced again!

He coughed up seawater while greedily gulping air, feeling a sense of survival after a great calamity.

The recent experience left his limbs weak, nearly unable to stand.

"Buzz!"

The East Sea Giant Demon let out a call again.

Chen Tang knelt on the back of the East Sea Giant Demon, supporting his body with both hands, sensing a slight vibration transmitting within the East Sea Giant Demon after the call.

Before Chen Tang could catch his breath, the East Sea Giant Demon sank again.

"I..."

Chen Tang wanted to curse.

But it was too late; he barely uttered a word before the sea was before him.

The survival instinct forced Chen Tang to draw a deep breath.

The next moment, he was once more swept into the depths of the sea by the massive body of the East Sea Giant Demon.

Again, he was dragged into the depths, enduring immense pressure from the seawater, experiencing that intense suffocation and fear again...

Just as Chen Tang was about to collapse and give up, the East Sea Giant Demon carried him to the surface again.

This time, Chen Tang was completely exhausted, lying limp on the back of the East Sea Giant Demon, spewing seawater from his mouth.

After catching his breath slightly, Chen Tang muttered to himself, "This Giant Demon is probably trying to torment me to death."

"Buzz!"

The East Sea Giant Demon called out.

Chen Tang shivered all over.

Now just hearing this sound made him anxious.

Will it happen again?

Chen Tang thought to himself, suddenly realizing that the East Sea Giant Demon, capable of battling with the Black Dragon, must be spiritually enlightened, like the Mountain Lord White Tiger.

Perhaps he could try to communicate with it.

"Can you understand what I’m saying?"

Chen Tang shouted loudly, "If you can understand, respond with a sound!"

This East Sea Giant Demon was simply too large.

Chen Tang shouted at the top of his lungs, fearing the other wouldn’t hear.

"Buzz!"

Sure enough, the East Sea Giant Demon responded with a sound.

"Huh?"

Chen Tang was delighted yet uncertain.

If he didn’t speak, the East Sea Giant Demon sometimes called out, it might just be a coincidence.

Chen Tang shouted loudly again, "If you understand, respond with two sounds!"

"Buzz buzz!"

Sure enough, the East Sea Giant Demon responded with two sounds.

Chen Tang was overjoyed.

This meant not only did the East Sea Giant Demon understand his words, but it seemed quite gentle, easy to communicate with.

Chen Tang, gaining enthusiasm, added, "If you understand, respond with three sounds!

The East Sea Giant Demon no longer responded.

The sea surface became deathly still.

Chen Tang sensed the East Sea Giant Demon beginning to sink again, in alarm he quickly said, "I was just joking, you have such magnanimity, don’t take it to heart..."
