This whale was far too enormous!
The half of its body that leaped above the surface was a full two or three thousand meters long, as though a towering mountain had suddenly grown out of the sea!
Extrapolating from that size, its total length must have exceeded five thousand meters!
The appearance of such a terrifying behemoth completely overturned Jing Qian's worldview, leaving him nearly speechless!
With just one casual movement, the whale immediately unleashed a natural disaster across this stretch of sea.
It had merely been feeding, yet it directly stirred up a tsunami with waves a hundred meters high!
And Jing Qian, being the person closest to the giant whale, had no room to struggle at all. The terrifying tsunami sent him flying!
He was forced hundreds of meters into the deep sea, like a helpless leaf swept away by the seawater.
His vision was filled with roiling giant waves. At that moment, he deeply felt his own insignificance. Before this giant whale, he was no more than a drop in the ocean, frail and vulnerable.
The only thing he could do was rely on his instinct to survive and shoot out two white threads, sending them toward the raft he depended on to cross the sea.
The two threads shot from his palms. They were the extraordinary power granted to him by the Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits Destiny Trait.
However, compared to Azure Pearl's naturally advantageous conditions, Jing Qian could control at most two threads right now, greatly reducing their effectiveness.
He exerted all his strength, using those slender yet resilient white threads to wrap tightly around the raft floating in the distance.
The force of the seawater was immense. It battered him again and again, trying to tear him away from the threads' pull.
But his hands remained clenched tightly, with only one thought in his heart: survive!
The raft lurched amid the giant waves, sometimes hurled high into the air and sometimes slammed violently toward the seabed. This lone boat upon the vast sea could be swallowed at any moment.
Jing Qian's body was wrenched painfully by the seawater. Every breath felt like a struggle against the god of death, yet his gaze grew ever more resolute.
He absolutely refused to believe that he would die in this natural disaster!
Out at sea, one lost all sense of the years. He did not know how long he endured, but at last, the waves gradually began to subside.
Using the pull of the threads as a buffer, Jing Qian edged toward the raft little by little. Every effort felt like crossing a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers.
At last, his fingers touched the edge of the raft. In that moment, it was as if he had seized a straw that could save his life.
With the last shred of his strength, he hauled himself onto the raft and lay sprawled there, coughing violently and spitting out several mouthfuls of salty seawater.
He was probably the most pathetic Determining Destiny Realm cultivator alive.
Not only had he swallowed a bellyful of seawater, he had nearly drowned!
And the giant whale responsible for his miserable predicament was firmly entered into his account of grudges.
Once his cultivation was a little higher, he would definitely go find it and give it a good dose of bad luck!
By now, Jing Qian had also understood that this seventh-grade Blue Blood Island Whale demon before him had been summoned by his own Azure Pearl granny through a secret technique.
It had not intended to return alive. The Island Whale was its final trump card for perishing together with Snow Woman!
However, it had never expected Jing Qian to erupt with such formidable battle power in such a short time.
Nor had it expected him to abandon his plan of escaping alone and force his way back to slay Snow Woman.
As a result, the trump card it had prepared had nearly taken Jing Qian away with it!
At this moment, both Jing Qian's Magic Power and body had been completely drained.
He lay motionless on the raft, slowly recovering his strength.
At the same time, he finally had the leisure to go over, from beginning to end, this strange journey filled with sparks and lightning since his transmigration.
In truth, it had only been the third day since he had transmigrated to this land of Hunzhou.
During that brief period, aside from being busy cultivating and advancing,
the rest of his time had always been spent fighting to preserve his life.
And his survival had received tremendous help from his two grannies.
Thanks to that, although they had not spent much time together, the two grannies already held an extremely lofty place in his heart!
Unfortunately, the people who had treated him best had already fallen one after another!
Qi Zhi Shi Island, which had wiped out his entire household, had long since become his mortal enemy in Jing Qian's eyes.
Now, alone and adrift upon this boundless sea, his future life was filled with the unknown.
However, no matter what path lay ahead, the first thing he needed to do was recover his strength as quickly as possible.
With a turn of his thoughts, his consciousness once again returned to the Destiny Stele Space.
Compared to the last time he had entered, this much roomier space had undergone further changes.
Outside the Safe Zone, the soul of Snow Woman Ao Li was standing right in the very center!
After personally killing his enemy, he had also captured her soul, turning it into nourishment for his future growth.
And the information on the Destiny Stele had updated once again:
Host: Jing Qian Lifespan: 1/144 years Destiny Essence: 2.35 (White Fang) Destiny Traits: Sumeru (Golden Root), Sewing Souls and Weaving Spirits (Azure Wing)
At this point, he possessed two Destiny Traits and two White Fang Destiny Essences. His strength could be said to have advanced by leaps and bounds!
More importantly, when he faced the enemies within this space again, he had finally escaped his awkward state of being utterly unable to fight back.
Regardless of whether Jing Qian's condition in the outside world was good or bad, the moment he descended into the Destiny Stele Space, he would immediately recover to his peak condition.
Now, he was on an uninhabited stretch of ocean. If he wanted to replenish his vital energy, the best method was to pluck a little more wool from these three good friends before him.
Jing Qian did not hesitate to activate his Sumeru Destiny Trait.
His figure abruptly vanished from where he stood.
Under the might of this Destiny Trait, Jing Qian's entire body slipped into the void and entered a dimensional space existing independently of the real world.
Here, light and shadow twisted, space and time overturned, and chaos blurred all distinctions.
Yet through a crystal-like membrane, Jing Qian could easily observe the situation in the real world.
Within this dimension, he could move about freely, without the slightest obstruction.
Once he traveled to the location he wanted to reach, he could slip out of this dimension again and appear directly in the real world at the corresponding position.
This was precisely what space travel and walking through the void meant!
It was by relying on the divine might of his Sumeru Destiny Trait that he had held a sharp blade, crossed the entire icy battlefield, appeared directly before Ao Li, and slain her with a single sword strike!
Jing Qian was extremely satisfied with the power of this Golden Root-grade Destiny Trait of his!
As expected of a one-in-ten-thousand golden Destiny Trait. Even though he had only just awakened it and was not yet skilled in its use, it could already unleash a terrifying power far beyond the norm.
When he emerged from the void, he had already appeared silently behind the Short Stout Cultivator, like a shadow come to claim a life.
