The Empress's No.1 Lackey-Chapter 1246 - 664: The Dragon-Slaying Fleet of a Thousand Years Ago

Chapter 1246: Chapter 664: The Dragon-Slaying Fleet of a Thousand Years Ago

"In a moment, grab onto me, and I’ll take you all to sink into the Silent Sea," Zhao Douan leapt off the boat but didn’t dive immediately. Instead, he swam forward on the sea surface for a while. Before long, he noticed the surrounding sea surface was shrouded in a vast sea fog.

Turning his head back, the ship led by Zhang Yan Yi behind him had already "disappeared" due to being blocked by the sea fog.

In front of him, only Tuoba Weizhi and Jin Jian were swimming alongside, both with tense expressions. As creatures of the land, they naturally harbored a fear of the sea depths.

On one hand, the Silent Sea undoubtedly delved deep into the domain of the Sea God, suppressing everyone.

On the other hand, to them, the environment underwater would inherently weaken their combat power. Whether it be the starlight perceived by Jin Jian, or Tuoba Weizhi’s brute strength, both would be further suppressed.

"Haha, don’t worry, I’ve come prepared," Zhao Douan noticed the two women’s concerns, smiled gently, and flipped his hand over, revealing a simple, ancient, dark-green seal rotating slowly in his palm.

The Mystic Turtle Seal!

"Once submerged, this Magic Artifact can push the seawater away for us," Zhao Douan explained.

It was due to this Magic Artifact that he dared to dive into the sea.

After saying this, Zhao Douan didn’t delay any longer, turned around, and said, "Alright, everyone hold onto me."

Tuoba Weizhi didn’t hesitate and stretched out her smooth arms, wrapping them straight around Zhao Douan’s waist, her face almost pressed against his back.

"...You don’t have to hold me so tightly," Zhao Douan felt the softness behind him, his mind wavered at first, but recalling that the other person was supposedly the reincarnation of the "Crown Prince of Qi Country," he immediately felt uninterested, extremely awkward.

"Oh. Master." The young priestess with dark skin seemed shameless, settling for the second best option, grasping Zhao Douan’s clothes at his lower back with both hands.

Jin Jian imitated this and used her little hands to similarly grab Tuoba Weizhi’s cloak.

"We’re diving now!"

Like a train conductor, Zhao Douan announced, then grasped the Mystic Turtle Seal, took a deep breath, and dove into the Silent Sea.

According to local depictions, the bottom of the Silent Sea was a realm of utter silence.

However, after Zhao Douan started sinking, the first thing he felt was the cold seawater pressing against him from all directions.

He didn’t rush to activate the Mystic Turtle Seal, but let his body continue to sink.

His eyes opened, trying to observe underwater, but the light underwater was unexpectedly dim, with a visibility of less than five meters.

And as he kept diving, the surroundings became increasingly darker, which made Zhao Douan worry deeply. In such an environment, Jin Jian’s spells would be greatly suppressed.

Yet, just as he hesitated whether to float back up and switch companions, perhaps letting Ji Yue down instead, suddenly, a massive pulling force abruptly surged from the seabed. Caught off guard, Zhao Douan felt as if countless hands were dragging him swiftly into the depths, he was shocked, tried to struggle, but found no purchase in the water. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the "Mystic Turtle Seal."

As a streak of electric light flashed across the Mystic Turtle Seal’s surface, a giant "bubble" rapidly enveloped him and the two women behind him separately.

The seawater was pushed away.

But even the Mystic Turtle Seal’s power couldn’t counteract that pulling force.

And the light from overhead quickly dimmed.

In a daze, Zhao Douan felt as if he were floating in space, surrounded by silence and stillness, as though abandoned by the whole world, overwhelmed by a strong sense of loneliness and oppression.

But then, just as he worried internally, the three of them suddenly experienced a tumultuous "world spinning" sensation!

Afterward, Zhao Douan felt himself starting to "float up" rapidly!

As if they were accelerating towards the surface!

The darkness overhead quickly dissipated, replaced by increasingly bright light.

"Has the Mystic Turtle Seal taken effect?" Zhao Douan wondered as he burst out of the water!

"Splash!"

The oppressive darkness vanished!

Fresh air rushed into his lungs, Zhao Douan opened his eyes, stunned to see a stretch of azure sea ahead, an azure sky!

No dreary sea fog, no rolling dense clouds.

Nor the muddy gray sea surface.

He was floating in a patch of blue seawater, with a clear and cloudless sky overhead. No sun was visible, but even, bright light spread across the ocean.

And right in front, an island emerged from the sea surface!

"What the heck is this place?!"

Zhao Douan was flabbergasted.

The Silent Sea?

The East Sea Eye?

A lifeless "underwater world"?

The scene before him was completely different from the intelligence he had learned beforehand.

"No, this can’t be the seabed... Even the celestial phenomena are different."

"Could it be... This is a hidden space? The true dwelling of the Sea God?"

Zhao Douan’s thoughts raced, cautiously scanning around, one hand gripping the seal tightly, the other suddenly produced the Chasing Saber.

After plunging into the Silent Sea, he had entered such a bizarre and mysterious marine region!

"Splash!"

At this moment, the seawater beside him surged, and two heads popped out one after another... No, to be precise, it was two large bubbles.

After floating up, the bubbles quickly burst, revealing Tuoba Weizhi with black hair and eyes, and a dazed Jin Jian, both equally bewildered as they looked around.

"Is this the seabed?!"

The two women were stunned, even forgetting to swim, and, losing the support of their bubbles, started to sink.

Zhao Douan reached out, pulled the two women out of the water, and said, with a serious expression, "How are you feeling?"

Tuoba Weizhi was taken aback, then replied, "Good."
