Asura Emperor Venerable-Chapter 179 - : Out to Sea

Chapter 179 -179: Out to Sea

Renting a boat was not easy, but buying one was simple — just pay the money.

However, when everyone saw Shi Hao carrying a boat and moving as swift as an arrow, each one of them was dumbfounded and collectively bewildered.

The boats here were all built ashore, and to get them to the sea, they had to be dragged to the waterfront by ox carts — but why would Shi Hao, slow himself down and waste time?

In less than the time it took an incense stick to burn, Shi Hao had returned to the seashore and placed the boat on the sand.

He did not hurry to set sail, but first, he needed to set up a Formation on the boat.

— He was alone, so how would he control this reasonably large boat?

He could only rely on a Formation to provide the power while he simply needed to steer.

The Formation was not difficult to create, just a simple driving formation.

He put in a Spirit Stone, which acted as the Power of Heaven and Earth, allowing the driving formation to operate without being fixed to a specific location.

“Set off!”

He grabbed the big yellow dog, jumped onto the big ship, and with a palm strike, Dark Force rebounded, pushing the big boat to slide on the sand and directly into the vast ocean.

Boom — the hull vibrated immediately, the ocean’s waves were completely different from those in large rivers and seas.

“Woof woof woof!” the big yellow dog cried out in distress.

Madman! It had no desire to go to sea; didn’t it know? The world out there was full of formidable characters, and it certainly didn’t want to go and die.

It just wanted to live a life of laziness and comfort, akin to that of a salted fish.

Shi Hao, however, didn’t care about its protests. He remembered his promise to help awaken the dog’s intelligence — this task was only halfway done since the dog still couldn’t talk.

Therefore, he intended to take the big yellow dog to the outside world, believing he could refine a higher grade of Spirit Awakening Pill.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog looked at the receding coastline with a look of utter despair.

Why did its dog life have to encounter Shi Hao, this madman?

Once the Formation was activated, the ship immediately began riding the waves, heading westward.

If everything went smoothly, it would only take a little more than half a month for him to reach the Eastern Fire Continent.

— This island was still quite close to the Eastern Fire Continent.

That night, the sky was filled with stars.

After dinner, Shi Hao lay on the deck, gazing at the starry sky.

In Yuan Chengmie’s memories, those stars were like the world he stood upon — immensely vast, some even hundreds of times larger.

His mind wandered. Wouldn’t it be fun if he could fly and see the worlds above the sky?

Do people there look like him?

As he watched, he gradually closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Shi Hao, facing the sea breeze, began practicing the Tyrant Body Technique and used the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture to extract the Power of Heaven and Earth.

On the sea, the proportion of Water Element was obviously higher, which was not favorable for cultivators without the Water Attribute. Even for those with the Water Attribute, absorption of the Water Element had its complexities.

Because the Water Element could be further divided: Ice Attribute, gaseous state, fluid state — though all could be absorbed, the exact corresponding Water Element was best.

But Shi Hao didn’t care; the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture didn’t bother what attribute it was. As long as it was energy, it would absorb everything indiscriminately, eventually transforming it into pure energy, enhancing Shi Hao’s strength and nourishing his spirit.

Logically, cultivation techniques are tiered; for example, the Vast Sea Mist Technique he passed to Bao Dongsheng has seven levels — Breaking the Extreme cultivates the first level, Soul Nurturing the second, and so on.

However, the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture did not have such distinctions; it simply absorbed the energy of heaven and earth to fortify the cultivator.

Yet it was precisely this simplicity that maximized its efficiency.

“Interesting,” Shi Hao murmured; as his cultivation improved and his horizons widened, he increasingly realized the extraordinariness of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture.

“If I get the chance, I should visit the very place where Yuan Chengmie fell.”

Life on the sea was monotonously repetitive. Aside from cultivating each day, Shi Hao could only enjoy the scenery, but the unchanging views bored him within a few days.

The big yellow dog was even worse off, already lying on the ground like a dead dog.

“Hmm?”

After sailing for five days, Shi Hao had ventured into waters that ordinary sailors dared not enter, and suddenly, he saw a swath of black clouds ahead, obscuring his vision terribly.

If I had known earlier, I should have added a Water Repelling Formation to the ship.

However, although he knew how to create the Formation, he had no materials and could only dream about it.

“Woof woof!” The big yellow dog stopped playing dead and started barking wildly.

The path ahead is too dangerous, better stop now.

Yet Shi Hao was invigorated, laughing loudly as he continued to steer the ship forward.

Crazy!

The big yellow dog felt like crying. It had never seen such a madman who, despite seeing the danger, still charged forward. Wasn’t this jumping into a pit of fire?

And he had to drag the poor dog along with him.

In its whimpering cries, the big ship sailed into the area of dark clouds.

Slap, slap, slap, suddenly, raindrops as big as soybeans began pelting down, creating a deafening noise as they hit the deck, scattering everywhere.

The wind howled, strong enough to easily snap the mast of the ship.

But Shi Hao had already removed the mast beforehand, since his ship didn’t rely on the wind for propulsion.

With no sails, the threat of the violent wind was significantly reduced. However, the sea waves were terrifying, with waves as high as ten feet crashing onto the ship, causing it to creak and groan continuously.

As the big ship plunged deeper, the savage waves grew more and more ferocious, making Shi Hao wonder if this storm was not a natural occurrence.

He had never been out to sea, but Yuan Chengmie had, and where were such conditions?

Otherwise, this must be a natural wonder. But supposedly, it was like this all around the island, which then ruled out the possibility of being a natural wonder. What kind of natural wonder was this?

So, there was only one possibility.

This was man-made.

However, if it truly was man-made, what earth-shattering power must that person have?

Bang!

As Shi Hao pondered, the waves became increasingly terrifying. Finally, the big ship could no longer withstand the assault and snapped into two halves.

“Woof!” The big yellow dog screamed tragically, fearing it was about to drown!

Shi Hao promptly broke off a large plank of the boat, grabbed the big yellow dog, and leaped into the sea.

The waves rolled tumultuously, trying to push him back.

But Shi Hao held onto the plank with one hand, stroking powerfully with the other, moving against the waves.

The big yellow dog could only exert all its strength, gripping the plank with its paws to avoid being washed away by the next wave.

Boom, the waves surged one after another, seemingly endless.

Faced with such formidable natural force, even a Soul Nurturing martial artist felt insignificant and powerless.

But Shi Hao was undeterred; he refused to believe this stormy area had no end.

After paddling for a day, a bright light suddenly appeared ahead.

He had finally swim out.
