Chapter 214
"The prison is big."
Li Yue answered with a smile.
"Prison... big?"
Lyney's expression turned into beady eyes. He blinked and looked at Furina with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to ask Furina what she meant.
After hearing this, Furina shook her head.
"Sorry, I don't know what 'lao da' means either."
Lyney looked at Li Yue with his beady eyes in exasperation.
Is that so hard to understand?
Li Yue tilted her head in confusion.
"The boss in the prison, isn't that the prison chief?"
"Hmm, that seems to make sense."
Lyney nodded. The title seemed fine, and it sounded very down-to-earth, completely different from his so-called duke, making him feel much closer to him.
"Then I shall take my leave now, and leave this place to you deities."
After Lyney nodded to Li Yue, he left the underground passage alone, leaving it to Li Yue and the other three.
After watching Lyney leave, Li Yue turned her attention to the valve that was trapping the Primordial Sea.
Do you want to open it?
Ying asked from the side, she didn't know much about the Primordial Sea, but she would help Li Yue if she wanted to open it.
"No need to open it, I can go down directly."
The Primordial Sea has no effect on anyone other than the Fontainian, so Li Yue will be fine going down there. However, just to be on the safe side, Li Yue will cast a shield around herself with the Geo Element, and then fill the area below the Geo Element shield with Reiatsu to isolate herself from the seawater.
"Fufu, if the valve is opened later, the water of the fetal sea will burst out. Use your powers to control this water and prevent it from escaping. I will go in, understand?"
"Huh? I'm in charge of controlling this water?"
"That's right. As Hydro Archon, although you are not as powerful as a fully-fledged dragon, you can still control water. Just make sure that the water of the fetal sea doesn't escape."
"Yes, I will help Furina control the seawater."
Furina's expression changed, Furina logged on and agreed to Li Yue's request.
Li Yue nodded to Furina, then looked at Nahida.
"Nahida, if Furina is under a lot of pressure, just create a lot of wood to seal this space and help her resist."
"Yes, Father, I know what to do."
Nahida nodded immediately.
What about me?
Ying pointed to herself, as if asking herself what she should do.
"Ying, you can just stay here."
"Oh."
You are a martial god, with no other function besides fighting. Do you expect me to use you to generate electricity and water in the sea?
After the gods were all ready, Li Yue jumped onto the valve and drew his Enma's Blade.
At such close range, Li Yue didn't need to know what the other side looked like; he simply used the Enma's Blade to cut out Portal leading to the other side of the valve.
The moment the Portal opened, a massive amount of seawater gushed Portal, and the powerful impact forced Li Yue to temporarily dodge to avoid being swept away.
In that brief moment of respite, the waters of the Fetal Sea almost filled the area. Seeing the seawater suddenly gushing out, Furina frantically began to control it, and the speed of the splashing seawater immediately slowed down after Furina took action.
"That's fine."
Li Yue nodded to Furina, then activated her shield and spiritual energy isolation, and rushed directly into the Portal. After Li Yue entered the Portal was closed, and the water from the fetal sea that rushed out lost its support and immediately scattered on the ground.
"He went in!"
Furina stared in surprise at the spot where the Portal had closed.
"Yes, all we need to do now is wait for Father to return."
Nahida clapped her hands, and three wooden chairs appeared behind the three gods.
"Please have a seat!"
After speaking, Nahida took the lead and sat down. Shadow followed without hesitation, and after a moment of hesitation, Furina also sat down. The three gods sat on the wooden chairs, looking at the valve in front of them that was partially covered by the water of the Fetal Sea, and began to wait quietly.
Meanwhile, Li Yue, who had entered the Primordial Sea, began searching for whales.
The Primordial Sea looked like a deep blue ocean. It didn't look like the seabed; it looked more like the starry sky, with blue lights everywhere. But the surrounding water was indeed seawater, which told Li Yue that she was on the seabed. However, swimming here was much easier than swimming outside; it felt like flying.
Although it's fun, Li Yue doesn't have time to keep flying around here. He needs to find that whale and make it vomit!
The Primordial Sea is vast, making it difficult to find the whale. Li Yue controlled the Geo Element to form a propeller shape behind her, which then began to rotate, allowing her to move forward in the seawater faster.
After rapidly navigating the seabed like a submarine, Li Yue finally found a massive whale. There was no other fish in the entire Primordial Sea, only this one, so it was the creature Li Yue was looking for!
Now that we've found it, things are much easier.
Watching the giant whale swimming in the Primordial Sea from afar, Li Yue made no attempt to greet it. Instead, she began to gather her strength from a distance, and after a while, Li Yue drew her sword at the whale.
"Dimension Slash!"
381. First, cut off the horns.
The Enma's Blade's Dimension Slash directly tore through the Primordial Sea between Li Yue and the whale. The slash that Dankū struck the Li Yue's massive body, leaving a huge wound on its side.
"Oops, that strike wasn't enough damage; it didn't cut through completely."
However, because of the great distance, Li Yue miscalculated the distance, resulting in the knife not cutting the whale in half, but only creating a huge wound on its side.
Protected by spiritual energy, Li Yue was even able to speak, so she bluntly uttered sarcastic remarks.
After being slashed by Li Yue, the whale immediately howled in pain. The huge wound on its body allowed Li Yue to see inside its body from the outside, but its internal organs also looked the same starry sky color, and no special organs could be seen at all.
"It seems to be an energy-based creature; its internal structure looks exactly the same as its external appearance."
While Li Yue was making her comments, the whale noticed Li Yue, or rather, it was hard not to notice her, because in this Primordial Sea, there were only two creatures: it and Li Yue. The only possible attack it could receive could come from Li Yue, so it focused all its attention on Li Yue.
"You've arrived? What are your plans?"
The enormous whale lunged directly at Li Yue. On the top of its head was a huge, sharp horn, which was even capable of piercing through Neuvillette's defenses.
But Li Yue was never the type to confront things head-on, so when the whale charged, Li Yue simply dodged its impact. After all, there was no one behind Li Yue who needed protection, so she just stepped aside.
However, the churning caused by the whale's massive body as it surged through the water still made Li Yue feel its immense power, or rather, its terrifying weight.
"As expected, something big and heavy is terrifying when it charges, but unfortunately, being big and heavy means it moves slowly. I'm not like Tartaglia, though; my attack power is much stronger than Tartaglia's."
As Li Yue spoke, her Elemental Power erupted, and a large number of rock spears appeared around Li Yue, each as big as a whale!
In Li Yue's opinion, this was already considered small. After all, Zhongli had smashed out the Guyun Stone Forest with a rock spear back then. That was truly a mountain that could be smashed with a single throw. Li Yue, on the other hand, hadn't managed to smash a mountain with a single throw, mainly because there were no enemies that required him to smash a mountain with a single throw. A rock spear the size of a whale was already enough to deal with this guy.
Under Li Yue's control, the massive rock spears hurtled towards the whale like a meteor shower.
The rock spear struck the whale, but did not pierce its massive body. The rock spear, formed from the coalescing Geo Element, hit the whale as if it had struck an incredibly hard rock, causing the whale's massive body to sway and utter a painful cry.
"The rock spear can only hurt, but it can't injure? It seems that with the blessing of the Primordial Sea, you are really tough."
Neuvillette stated that without the full power of an ancient dragon, he was unable to kill the whale that had devoured a large amount of the Primordial Sea. Only after becoming a complete dragon and gaining full control of the ancient Ancient Dragon Authority was he able to weaken the whale and defeat it by forcibly separating the Primordial Sea from its body.
Now, even with his Elemental Power, Li Yue is unable to harm this whale, which has already devoured a considerable amount of Primordial Sea Water.
"It seems that using Elemental Power against you will be less effective, which is really bad news for you."
Indeed, this news is unfortunate for the whale, because if Li Yue fights using elemental power, he will simply be fighting in the same way as other demons on the Teyvat continent. However, if the elemental power is ineffective, then Li Yue's fighting mode will switch to the Shinigami's spiritual pressure fighting mode.
The main fighting style of Reiatsu Mode is Zanpakuto, and Li Yue's Zanpakuto...
"Take this horn-severing slash!"
Although underwater, Li Yue successfully activated his Flash Step. Li Yue vanished from his spot and reappeared on the whale's head, swinging his Enma's Blade and slashing at the whale's horn.
The force that Dankū easily cut off the whale's horn.
Ugh!!!
The pain of having its horn severed caused the whale to let out a deep the Roar, triggering a fierce battle in the sea. Even though Li Yue used her spiritual power to shield her ears, she was still somewhat uncomfortable from the vibrations because the distance was simply too close.
The whale's massive body twisted with an agility it shouldn't have, trying to throw Li Yue off. Li Yue didn't hold back; she used another Flash Step to leave the whale's head and reappeared above it, drawing her sword and unleashing a spatial slash at the whale.
The slash that Dankū created a huge wound on the whale's back, once again revealing its interior, which resembled a starry sky.
Ugh!!
The pain caused the whale to cry out in agony once more. Since being discovered by Li Yue, it had already been Li Yue three times! It realized that Li Yue possessed a means to harm it, and if it continued to fight Li Yue in the Primordial Sea, it would be hacked to death by Li Yue.
It's not good to continue fighting him here, or I'll die!
The whale opened its huge mouth and frantically absorbed the surrounding waters of the womb. The powerful suction pulled Li Yue was also in the seawater, towards it.
"Is this guy's stomach a bottomless pit?"
According to the established lore, this whale should cause the water in the Fetal Sea to expand by constantly consuming it, eventually bursting out and submerging Fontaine. However, it seems to have swallowed a huge amount of Fetal Sea water, yet its own volume hasn't increased much, completely disregarding the law of conservation of matter. Even if the law of conservation of matter were followed, the volume of seawater should remain unchanged. How can it possibly cause the seawater to expand after swallowing it? Did you inject air into the seawater?
While internally complaining, Li Yue swung her hand and slashed at the whale again!
Ugh!!
"I have no intention of letting you swallow it and fight the empty shell inside you. Here, you either spit out the water of the fetal sea, or I'll cut you in half and release the water from your fetal sea! Do you understand what I mean?"
As a pet kept by someone, the whale could naturally understand Li Yue's words, but unfortunately, although it understood Li Yue's words, it was unwilling to accept Li Yue's orders. It was unwilling to spit out the seawater it had swallowed for so long, and it was even Wrath at Liyue's threat.
A tremendous force erupted from the whale, instantly clearing away the surrounding seawater and forcibly creating an open space with air within it.
Without the support of the seawater, Li Yue landed directly on the ground, while the whale swam in the sky, looking at Li Yue who had fallen to the ground, seemingly feeling that it had finally gained the upper hand.
"Looks like you've chosen the second path. Let me cut you in two!"
As Li Yue spoke, she gripped the Enma's Blade tightly in her hand.
"Bankai!"
382. Nahida: I also have a grandfather?
The whale assumed that Li Yue was also adept at underwater activities, so it created an open area, preventing Li Yue from swimming as before, while the whale itself could fly and attack Li Yue from any direction. This was exactly what the whale had planned.
But what the whale didn't know was that Li Yue's power was even greater on the open ground!
Upon landing, Li Yue immediately activated Bankai. This whale seemed to possess spatial abilities as well, which meant that when Li Yue used Enma's Blade at it, the damage was never high enough to sever it in two. Li Yue felt this when he made a slash at the whale at close range. At such close range, Li Yue aimed to sever the whale in two, but the whale only suffered a large gash on its back.
Although this large gash was a huge wound, it was far from what Li Yue wanted—to cut the whale in two.
Therefore, after Whale kindly provided the landing site, Li Yue immediately activated Bankai!
After Bankai, Li Yue's Reiatsu surged dramatically, and the power of Enma's Blade was also greatly enhanced.
The immense Reiatsu surged, further pushing the surrounding waters of the fetal sea apart. The dense spiritual energy formed a pillar of light, illuminating the surrounding waters of the fetal sea.
This sudden change stunned even the whales swimming in the waters of the Womb Sea. What was this? What was this power? Why did this human suddenly unleash such immense power, and this power... wasn't Elemental Power!
The whale was puzzled by the unprecedented power and the unfamiliar situation, and it also felt a sense of fear. It was afraid! Because this was a power it could not understand, and the unknown represented fear!
His beastly instincts made him want to get away from Li Yue. He no longer had the idea of killing Li Yue, and instead swam quickly in the Primordial Sea, trying to get away from Li Yue.
"It's too late to run now."
Seeing the whale trying to leave, Li Yue raised her hand and unleashed a sword strike. In an instant, the whale was sliced in two, centered on the blade of the Li Yue Enma's Blade, along with the water of the Fetal Sea and the whale within it.
Ugh!!!
The whale's massive body was cleaved in two. Even for an energy creature, being cut in half is a fatal blow unless it is an immortal being. Clearly, being cut in half was a fatal blow to this whale.
After the whale was cut in half, a large amount of water from the womb gushed out from the cut. The water from the womb that it had swallowed earlier surged out directly. Because the amount of water from the womb that it had swallowed was so large, this caused the Primordial Sea Water to be released suddenly. A large amount of seawater surged directly from where the whale was located to the surrounding area, instantly causing the seawater to churn violently.
The impact of the seawater instantly filled the open space that had been cleared by the whale back into the seawater. Li Yue also immediately activated his shield before the seawater hit, preventing the impact of the seawater from affecting him.
After the seawater refilled, Li Yue, with his shield activated, floated up again. Looking at the whale that had been broken in two in the distance, he was not at ease. Instead, he swung his sword again, and the slash that Dankū appeared once more, cutting the whale that had just been cut in two into four pieces.
But this didn't stop there. Li Yue swung his sword down again, this time not as an attack, but to create a Portal that spanned worlds. With one strike, the Portal to the world of Bleach was opened, Primordial Sea Water began to flow rapidly through the Portal. The whale, which had been cut into four pieces, also fell into the Portal with the water and was directly transported to the world of Bleach.
On the other side of the Portal is Las Noches, the world of Bleach, which is Aizen's territory. Li Yue felt that Aizen would definitely be happy to receive this gift.
After all, Li Yue knew that this whale was someone's pet. As for the other party's identity and how strong their abilities were, Li Yue didn't know. In any case, the setting made them seem very high-class. Even the Childe master's master, Skirk, was just the other party's apprentice. Li Yue didn't know how capable Skirk was, since she had never made a move. But she could talk a lot about showing off.
She claimed that Neuvillette was on the same level as her, and immediately established her own powerful persona, causing Neuvillette to be wary of her strength and refrain from killing the whale.
