Whale Shadow Over a Hundred Thousand Li of the Eastern Sea, Countless Aquatic Beings Looked Up

The Eastern Sea of the Primordial World.

Its vast blue waves stretched without end.

Dense innate Water Spirit Qi rose slowly from the sea, mingling with the clouds and mist in the sky to form patches of pale blue spiritual light.

Countless aquatic beings lived in these waters.

Spirit fish, Flood Dragons, sea turtles, giant sharks, and all kinds of innate water spirit beings filled the sea. Occasionally, enormous true dragons could be seen darting through the clouds.

Deep in the Eastern Sea.

A Dragon Clan sea patrol was flying slowly through the sky.

At its head was a blue-scaled Flood Dragon at the Golden Immortal Realm.

It had just finished patrolling the nearby waters and was preparing to lead its subordinates back to their post.

Suddenly.

An aquatic soldier raised its head.

"Commander, look to the north!"

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon frowned slightly.

"What's happening in the north?"

The aquatic soldier did not answer immediately.

It simply stared wide-eyed and pointed at the distant horizon, its expression growing stranger by the moment.

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon looked in the direction it was pointing.

The next moment.

Its face froze as well.

The once-clear sky was slowly darkening.

An incomparably vast shadow was moving toward the Eastern Sea from the distant horizon.

At first.

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon thought it was some special kind of baleful cloud.

But as it drew closer.

It gradually realized.

The shadow was distinctly dark gold!

And faint silver-white star patterns flowed across its surface.

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon's pupils abruptly contracted.

"Wait!"

It hurriedly released its Divine Sense.

Then.

The Flood Dragon came to a complete halt.

What was that?

A giant beast?

Although the blue-scaled Flood Dragon had reached the Golden Immortal Realm, faced with a body so vast that it defied comprehension, it still felt that its Divine Sense was somewhat inadequate.

It continued probing along the dark gold shadow.

Ten thousand li.

Twenty thousand li.

Fifty thousand li...

It still could not see the end!

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon's mouth slowly fell open.

The aquatic soldiers behind it gradually noticed that something was wrong as well.

They looked up.

Their eyes quickly widened.

"Wh-what is that?!"

A Mysterious Immortal aquatic being could not help crying out in shock.

A black-scaled Flood Dragon beside it trembled all over.

"What a huge body!"

"How many tens of thousands of li long must it be?!"

The longer the aquatic beings looked, the more frightened they became.

In particular, once that enormous head truly emerged from the Sea of Clouds, the entire sea patrol fell into complete disarray.

Two golden eyes hung in the sky.

Enormous fins swayed slowly.

Vast banks of clouds were pushed to either side, and the air currents raised rolling waves across the previously calm sea.

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon finally came to its senses.

"Quick! Notify the Dragon Court!"

Its voice was filled with tension.

An unfamiliar innate divine beast of such enormous size had suddenly appeared above the Eastern Sea. Naturally, it could not be treated as an ordinary matter.

Several aquatic soldiers behind it hurriedly activated their communication Method Formulas.

Ripples of pale blue water swiftly merged into the sea, traveling into the depths along the communication waterways established by the Dragon Clan.

Meanwhile.

Lu Yuan had also noticed the sea patrol below.

Seeing the Flood Dragons' panic-stricken appearance, he was not particularly surprised.

He had encountered this situation many times by now.

Whenever he entered unfamiliar territory.

The beings nearby were always frightened by his size.

Especially now that he had reached the Eastern Sea.

There were many aquatic beings here.

It was only natural for them to be nervous when they suddenly saw a giant whale over a hundred thousand li long swimming through the sky.

Lu Yuan did not continue to accelerate.

Instead, he slowed the movement of his enormous fins slightly.

The fierce winds that had been spreading outward gradually subsided as well.

Ao Xuan naturally noticed the patrol's reaction below.

He hurriedly transformed into a flash of azure-gold draconic light and flew ahead.

"Everyone, stop!"

A majestic voice rang out from high above.

When the blue-scaled Flood Dragon sensed the familiar Great Luo presence, its body jolted.

Then.

It finally saw Ao Xuan clearly.

"Elder Ao Xuan?"

Delighted surprise immediately appeared on the blue-scaled Flood Dragon's face.

It hurriedly led the aquatic beings behind it in paying their respects.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Ao Xuan nodded gently.

"This is Fellow Daoist Lu Yuan. He came to the Eastern Sea at my invitation. There is no need for you to panic."

Hearing this, the blue-scaled Flood Dragon finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when it looked up at Lu Yuan's enormous body again, it still could not conceal the shock in its eyes.

"Lu Yuan?"

It paused briefly.

Then.

Its expression changed in an instant.

"Could it be that Grand Void Sky Whale, Lu Yuan?!"

Ao Xuan nodded.

"Indeed."

As soon as he said this.

The surrounding aquatic soldiers were even more shocked.

News of what had happened on the Primordial Northern Continent had long since spread among many factions.

In particular, the news that the Grand Void Sky Whale had fought Beast Emperor Shen Ni and taken some Chaos Demon God flesh from the Myriad Sha Abyss had left many Dragon Clan experts incredulous.

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon had naturally heard of it as well.

It simply had never seen him with its own eyes before.

Now that it had truly seen Lu Yuan, it finally understood.

Those accounts had not been much of an exaggeration.

In fact, the true body before its eyes was even more terrifying than the rumors!

"So it really is Senior Lu Yuan!"

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon hurriedly lowered its head.

Its tense expression quickly turned to awe.

"This junior failed to recognize Senior's true form and offended you just now. I hope Senior will forgive me!"

Hearing this, Lu Yuan answered casually.

"It's all right. Patrolling the sea is your duty."

The blue-scaled Flood Dragon finally breathed a complete sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Ao Xuan did not linger any longer.

He led Lu Yuan onward, swimming deeper into the Eastern Sea.

The aquatic beings along the way had evidently all noticed the enormous phenomenon in the sky.

Spirit fish leaped out of the sea.

Several giant turtles thousands of zhang in size slowly raised their heads.

Farther away.

A group of giant sharks that had been chasing prey suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.

For an ever-growing shadow was appearing above the entire expanse of sea.

At first.

Many aquatic beings merely felt that the sky had suddenly darkened.

Then they discovered.

The shadow was actually moving slowly!

An old sea turtle that had lived for many long years slowly poked its head out of the water.

It looked up at the sky.

Then.

Its face froze.

"This..."

The old sea turtle's mouth fell slightly open.

As it gazed at the dark gold body stretching endlessly across the sky, profound shock gradually appeared in its eyes.

"In all my years, this old turtle has never seen a creature so enormous!"

Several young sea turtles beside it also looked up.

Once they could clearly see Lu Yuan's head, every one of them was struck speechless.

The youngest turtle could not help asking, "Ancestor, is that really a living divine beast?"

The old sea turtle fell silent for a moment.

Then it slowly nodded.

"Of course it's alive."

Its voice was noticeably trembling.

"Look carefully. Those mountains and rivers are still breathing!"

The young sea turtles were even more amazed.

They looked again.

Sure enough, they found.

The enormous dark gold body was slowly rising and falling.

And as Lu Yuan continued forward, more of him that had been hidden in the clouds gradually came into view.

An enormous fin swept across the sky.

It sent great waves rolling through the surrounding Sea of Clouds.

The young sea turtles stared, dumbfounded.

Just then.

One of the turtles with sharper eyesight suddenly noticed something even more incredible.

"Wait!"

It abruptly raised a foreclaw.

"Ancestor, quick, look at that giant beast's back!"

The old sea turtle looked in the direction it was pointing.

The next moment.

The turtle was completely stunned.

Forests?

Rivers?

And living creatures moving about?

Vast stretches of woodland really were growing on the back of that enormous body!

There were even streams flowing slowly through the grooves between its scales.

The old sea turtle's eyes grew wider and wider.

It even suspected that, after living so many years, it was finally seeing things.

But after it reached out with its Divine Sense.

Those forests and streams really did exist.

Quite a few weak spirit beasts were living their lives there as usual.

A group of small white beasts, in particular, were lying beside a stream and drinking, completely unaffected by the giant whale swimming outside.

The old sea turtle finally couldn't help crying out in astonishment.

"Th-this divine beast really does have living creatures on its back?!"

The young sea turtles beside it were even more dumbfounded.

"With a body that big, it can even grow forests on its back!"

"How do those little beasts dare to live up there?!"

"Look, there are even rivers!"

The group of aquatic creatures grew more excited as they talked.

Other creatures nearby also began to notice what was on Lu Yuan's back.

Soon.

Similar discussions were breaking out throughout the sea.

Many aquatic creatures had originally been stunned merely by Lu Yuan's size.

Now that they had discovered the giant beast carried a real landscape of mountains and rivers on his body, their shock deepened once again.

And at that moment.

Lu Yuan was gradually approaching the outskirts of the Eastern Sea Dragon Court.

In the depths of the distant sea.

Grand palaces appeared faintly amid a pale blue spiritual glow.

Vast stretches of crystal buildings extended along the mountains and rivers of the seabed, with all manner of Innate Restraining Patterns spread throughout their surroundings.

Even from far away, the rich Dragon Clan presence contained within could be felt.

Lu Yuan took a moment to sense it.

Clear interest gradually appeared in his eyes.

"So this is the Dragon Court?"

Ao Xuan nodded with a smile.

"That's right. Up ahead is my Dragon Clan's main Dao field in the Eastern Sea."

Lu Yuan slowly looked ahead.

He could sense quite a few powerful presences within.

There seemed to be several Dragon Clan members at the Daluo Golden Immortal level.

Besides them.

An even more ancient, more immense life presence could faintly be sensed dwelling in the deepest part of the Dragon Court.

That presence was immensely weighty.

It even caused Lu Yuan's Qi and Blood to stir slightly of their own accord.

Lu Yuan's golden eyes narrowed slightly.

It seemed the Dragon Clan's true experts had indeed noticed his arrival.

Just then.

In the depths of the Eastern Sea.

An immensely long dragon roar suddenly rang out through heaven and earth!

"Aang—!"

The instant the dragon roar rang out, the entire Eastern Sea began to tremble gently.

Vast amounts of Water Spirit Qi rapidly gathered toward the depths of the Dragon Court, and the Dragon Clan beings patrolling the surroundings fell silent almost at the same time.

Ao Xuan jerked his head up.

The smile on his face vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

He turned toward the depths of the Dragon Court and slowly lowered his dragon head.

"The clan leader is here."
