The seawater reeked of salt, and towering waves surged.
The ocean stretched endlessly, its depths unfathomable.
Qin Siyang explored the sea for two days and two nights.
Yet Large Gods were far less numerous in the sea than on land.
On land, Qin Siyang would always encounter one or two Large Gods every hundred kilometers or so.
But in the sea, he searched for a long time without seeing a single trace of one.
Perhaps it was because the ocean was far vaster than the land, yet held far fewer varieties.
Still, he had not entered the sea to look for Large Gods in the first place. He was looking for Zhang Kuang.

"Domain Master Qin!!"
Just then, a shout
