201: Chapter 201 Sea Whirlpool

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thumping sounds continuously echoed from beneath the thick layer of ice,

those were the sea beasts that had just arrived, attempting to smash through the ice and join the fray.

However, they completely underestimated the power of a skill after being sacrificed by a sumeru realm artifact.

No matter how much their level and strength surpassed Tang Mo's, it was absolutely impossible for them to break through the ice.

Tang Mo couldn't be bothered with them, letting them continue banging their heads against the wall while he got up and continued toward the Endless Sea.

On the boundless sea surface, undercurrents were already surging.

Through the seawater so blue it was almost black, Tang Mo could clearly sense the silhouettes of those colossal creatures on the seabed.

Perhaps the earlier freezing had made them somewhat wary,

for these sea beasts of extraordinary strength did not take the initiative to attack Tang Mo again.

This, however, was exactly what Tang Mo wanted.

With no one left to block his path, Tang Mo couldn't help but pick up his pace.

Pea-sized beads of cold sweat dripped from the Lord of Fear's mask.

"I originally thought that being exiled to this small world, even the Sea Race's strength would be similar to mine, but now it seems that's not the case at all!"

"What?! Does this Sea Race intend to spread its descendants across all worlds?!"

The Lord of Fear no longer dared to look at the sea surface; he was afraid his heart might give out, causing him to fall directly into the ocean and become bait for the Sea Race.

Although he was of the Soul Race, he had no doubt that this was the capability of the Sea Race.

Now, he could only brace himself and continue leading the way for Tang Mo.

He only hoped that the plague god behind him had some trump cards up his sleeve; otherwise, both of them would likely meet their end in the Endless Sea.

Continuing forward, the seawater in the distance suddenly caught Tang Mo's attention.

On the boundless deep blue sea surface, a distinct dividing line completely split the ocean into two regions.

Crossing the deep blue water led to a pale white sea area;

the two were right next to each other, yet remained completely separate.

Although he had heard of such natural phenomena before, seeing it with his own eyes for the first time was still incredibly surreal.

After stepping into the pale white sea area, Tang Mo felt a weight lift off him,

and that sense of oppression from the deep sea vanished without a trace.

"We're almost there; it's just ahead."

The Lord of Fear's words instantly invigorated Tang Mo.

Following the direction he pointed, a massive underwater vortex appeared in Tang Mo's line of sight.

Immense suction pulled the seawater frantically into the vortex, creating a loud rushing sound.

Arriving above the vortex, he leaned over to look down;

the pitch-black vortex looked like a bottomless pit.

"The location of that abyss is right above this vortex, but the entrance to the abyss has been closed, and they are trapped inside."

"Unless one has the ability to break through spatial barriers, it's impossible to enter."

The Lord of Fear said, pointing at the vortex on the sea surface.

Tang Mo did have the ability to break spatial barriers, but without seeing the destination with his own eyes, the Gate of All Things could not open a corresponding passage.

Searching through all his skills and finding none applicable, Tang Mo could only pin his hopes on the Lord of Fear.

"Me?"

"How could I have a way?"

"If I had a way, I wouldn't have been sealed in the Nether Abyss for so long."

The Lord of Fear said helplessly.

Tang Mo: "Is there really no other way?"

Lord of Fear: "It's not that there's no way. If your parents give up the seal and release the Abyss Lord, then the door to the abyss will reappear."

"The abyss was established to imprison the Abyss Lord. Once the Lord disappears, the abyss automatically closes or vanishes along with it. You should know this."

At this point, the Lord of Fear gave Tang Mo a meaningful look and continued,

"As long as your parents can be convinced to open that seal, the abyss will detect that the Lord is still there, the seal will automatically reform, and the abyss gate will reappear."

"But is that really possible?"

Strictly speaking, Tang Bochuan and Yin Kexin should now be considered to be in a different dimension.

Even if Tang Mo stood before them now, they wouldn't be able to see or touch him, let alone hear a message.

Tang Mo searched through every skill he possessed, including the God-level Skills granted by the system after leveling up upon entering the sea, but none could achieve this.

Beside him, the Lord of Fear silently watched the massive vortex in the sea; the dark whirlpool looked like a gaping abyssal maw.

At this moment, the features on his mask appeared very calm, as if he were thinking or making a final decision.

"Perhaps, I have a way."

The Lord of Fear's words instantly gave Tang Mo a glimmer of hope.

"Really? Whatever way you have, use it quickly!"

"Of course. Since I've decided to cooperate with you, I naturally won't hold anything back."

"But before using this skill, there are some things I need to make clear to you."

"Once this skill is released, I'm afraid I won't be able to move. During this time, I will be very vulnerable, so I hope you can protect me."

"Don't worry, I guarantee that while you're releasing the skill, not even a fly will get in."

The Lord of Fear nodded. "Furthermore, to make your parents believe me, you must tell me details of your life with them. It would be best if you had a specific object."

Tang Mo quickly pulled a family photo out of his backpack.

Ever since arriving at Xiafu University, Tang Mo had always kept this family photo with him.

After examining it closely, the Lord of Fear returned the photo to Tang Mo.

"I only need to remember what the object looks like. I couldn't bring the actual item in even if I wanted to."

Having said that, the Lord of Fear crouched down, curled his eight slender abdominal legs together, and closed the eyes on his mask.

Seeing him enter this state, Tang Mo didn't dare to be careless, bracing himself to guard their surroundings.

The sea surface remained calm and tranquil, with no sign of danger.

But Tang Mo still didn't dare lower his guard; he couldn't guarantee that some colossal creature wouldn't suddenly emerge from the deep sea.

As time passed, night soon enshrouded the entire ocean.

Meanwhile, some unusual movements began to appear around the Lord of Fear.

First, the space would distort from time to time.

Even though it was brief, Tang Mo still caught it.

But no matter how anxious Tang Mo was, he didn't dare to step forward and disturb him, fearing an accident.

The warm sea breeze blew over the Lord of Fear's curled-up body.

At this moment, he looked so fragile, as if any random sea beast could take his life.

This was the first time Tang Mo had felt this way about an otherworldly creature.

"Perhaps not all creatures from other worlds are bad?"

The sea breeze whistled, but Tang Mo didn't feel cold at all—perhaps because he was above the ocean, or perhaps because his full attention was on the area around the Lord of Fear.

As time passed, the spatial distortion around the Lord of Fear became increasingly intense.

Tang Mo could even see the figures of his mom and dad within those fleeting moments of distortion.
