Eternal Saber-Chapter 280 - 4: Abyssal Depths

The East Sea Giant Demon paid no attention to Chen Tang.

Its massive body sank once again!

This time, as soon as Chen Tang descended to the seabed, he saw the East Sea Giant Demon turning its body and gliding over.

Such an enormous body moved through the water without a hint of clumsiness, incredibly smoothly.

During this process, Chen Tang saw the true form of this Giant Demon!

The East Sea Giant Demon looked to be dozens of zhang long.

Bear in mind, the body of that Black Dragon was not longer than nine zhang.

The East Sea Giant Demon was entirely pitch black and appeared exceedingly heavy, with its giant head surrounded by long whiskers as thick as pythons, incredibly agile, floating in the water.

Its eyes were impossibly deep, like ocean gems, flashing with a mysterious light.

In front of this Giant Demon, Chen Tang appeared incredibly insignificant.

If not for the East Sea Giant Demon’s eyes fixed intensely on Chen Tang’s position, he might have thought the creature hadn’t noticed him at all.

Who pays attention to an ant underfoot while walking?

This East Sea Giant Demon looked substantially different from the whales of his past life.

It seemed more fierce, exuding a primordial, ancient aura!

Suddenly!

The East Sea Giant Demon charged toward Chen Tang, accompanied by massive bubbles and turbulent currents, an unimaginable sense of pressure rushing over!

The next moment, the East Sea Giant Demon opened its mouth wide.

Chen Tang saw countless sharp, bloodstained giant teeth.

Even through the water, Chen Tang could smell the blood in its maw!

Just for asking one more question, does the East Sea Giant Demon want to devour him? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Seeing the rows of teeth like a mountain of blades drawing closer, Chen Tang realized his body wasn’t even enough to fill the gaps between the Giant Demon’s teeth.

Chen Tang had no power to resist such an impact.

A vast shadow fell over him.

The next moment, the world turned black as Chen Tang was swallowed by the East Sea Giant Demon!

However, to his surprise, the Giant Demon seemed not to intend any harm, with its sharp teeth intentionally avoiding him.

Furthermore, upon entering the East Sea Giant Demon’s mouth, the creature made no move to swallow him but rather held Chen Tang within.

The East Sea Giant Demon’s mouth still held a sizable amount of seawater.

But above this water, there was an extensive space.

After surfacing, Chen Tang could breathe freely.

What was this?

What was the giant demon’s intention?

Chen Tang was bewildered.

He dared not speculate randomly.

Every time he guessed, the East Sea Giant Demon’s actions would always give him a huge "surprise."

The surrounding space was dark.

Chen Tang couldn’t see outside, but he could feel the East Sea Giant Demon constantly descending, heading toward the deep seabed, moving quickly!

Chen Tang remained clueless, temporarily floating inside the East Sea Giant Demon’s mouth.

As time went by, the East Sea Giant Demon continued to dive, seemingly without end.

At this speed, it probably had reached a depth of a thousand zhang below the sea surface.

Time passed unnoticed.

Only then did the East Sea Giant Demon gradually slow its pace.

A moment later, the East Sea Giant Demon suddenly opened its mouth, expelling a breath that pushed out both seawater and Chen Tang!

Bang!

Chen Tang hit the ground heavily.

"Huh?"

Ignoring the pain, Chen Tang quickly stood up, full of astonishment.

Logically speaking, he should be in the deep sea at this moment.

Yet there wasn’t a drop of seawater around.

Moreover, he could clearly feel his feet standing on solid ground.

Looking far and wide, Chen Tang surveyed his surroundings.

There seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, separating the ocean and creating a vast space.

Beyond this barrier, the seawater remained dark and deep, with no light, and only the enormous body of the East Sea Giant Demon occasionally visible!

Surely, this was the deepest part of the East Sea!

Upon realizing this, Chen Tang suddenly understood why the East Sea Giant Demon kept him in its mouth.

This place’s location must have been tens of thousands of zhang below the ocean surface.

Before, sinking just slightly under the surface had strained his body beyond its limits.

The water pressure here must be unimaginable.

If he stepped outside the barrier, he would instantly be crushed into a spray of blood!

Only by having the East Sea Giant Demon swallow him could he withstand the pressure outside, safely escorting him here.

But what is this place?

How is this strange barrier formed?

Why does such a place exist in the East Sea Abyss?

What purpose does the East Sea Giant Demon have in bringing him here?

Chen Tang called out loudly, asking several questions.

Outside the barrier, there was no response, and it seemed the East Sea Giant Demon had already left.

If you’ve come, take things as they are.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Tang decided to explore around first.

The surrounding waters were dim, and there was no light here.

Relying on his powerful eyesight, Chen Tang could barely see within a few zhang around him.

Not long after walking, a strange glow appeared outside the barrier, gradually approaching this place!

Chen Tang halted and looked in that direction.

He saw a massive jellyfish, seven or eight zhang long, floating slowly past the top of the barrier.

This jellyfish was nearly transparent, with organs emitting rays of light, and a few tentacles seemed to want to poke through the barrier but quickly retracted.

In this world, even in the deep sea of the previous life, it was said that unknown life forms existed.

As the jellyfish floated by, Chen Tang, through the surrounding glow, witnessed an extremely awe-inspiring scene!

In the deep sea lay two towering mountains, majestic and vast, meeting the limits of his vision, the peaks unseen.

Chen Tang happened to be in the valley between the two mountains.

Before long, as the giant jellyfish drifted away, darkness resumed.

Following the scene he saw earlier, Chen Tang cautiously explored along the valley between the two mountains.

It was unclear how much time passed before he turned a corner, revealing another peak ahead!

This mountain, however, was much smaller than the other two.

Approaching it, Chen Tang looked up and saw the summit seemed to emit wisps of mist, spreading around.

Frowning slightly, Chen Tang proceeded toward the summit.

Along the way, scattered fragments of buildings, giant timber, and remains of walls, indicated there might once have been a palace near this mountain.

The mountain was not particularly high.

Soon, Chen Tang reached the summit, stopping in his tracks.

To be precise, this was more like a ’volcano’.

The top was a deep, bottomless crater, with faint mists rising from within.

Peering over from the volcano’s edge, Chen Tang glanced inside.

Deep, dark, ancient, mysterious...

Moreover, it emitted an aura that sent chills down the spine!

Out of caution, Chen Tang dared not linger, promptly descending from the mountain.
