The two traveled through the sea, occasionally encountering powerful sea beasts that occupied the waters along the way.
These sea beasts were enormous, with hard scales and armor. Having lived in the Chaos Sea for years, their bodies had endured the scouring of chaotic rules, granting them combat strength far beyond inland strange beasts.

A wisp of Inferno Black Flame was enough to tear through a sea beast's flesh and burn it to ash.
As they pressed on, a great many sea beasts died at Lin Sheng's hands. Although he knew something about the depths of the ocean, he had never expected so many sea beasts to live there.
He selected some of the higher-level beasts to absorb into his body. Unfortunately, the attribute increases they provided were inferior to those of eerie beasts.

They reminded Lin Sheng of that deep-sea monster.
Of course, the residual traces of rules
