129: Chapter 129 Beneath the Ice

Endless waves rolled.

Oscar Barry used his Internal Energy to protect his daughter, continuously swimming deep in the ocean.

As a First-class Peak Martial Artist, he had gradually become extraordinary in certain aspects.

Beneath the deep sea, every trace was concealed.

This was also the fundamental reason why Oscar Barry was able to escape successfully.

In the deep sea, everything was silent.

At this depth, the water pressure was already immense.

Even Oscar Barry did not dare to continue descending.

Stabilizing his Internal Energy, Oscar Barry glanced at his daughter, who had fallen into a deep sleep in his arms, his heart filled with peace.

He moved his body and swam forward.

He swam for two days.

If not for the fact that the seawater was also filled with Spiritual Qi, Oscar Barry would likely have been discovered long ago.

Sometimes, when he was tired and his Internal Energy consumption was too high, he would stop to absorb Spiritual Qi from the seawater to replenish his reserves before continuing his escape.

In this way, he continued along the deep sea toward the distance.

On the third day.

Oscar Barry finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Feeling that the search in the upper layers had decreased, his pressure was greatly reduced.

Taking this opportunity, he ascended slightly to reduce the water pressure and accelerated his departure.

Far from the continental shelf, in the middle of the ocean, Oscar Barry finally felt truly relieved.

"Whew!"

He exhaled a breath.

A series of bubbles floated up from the deep sea.

Oscar Barry's heart relaxed.

But just as he relaxed, an inexplicable feeling struck his heart.

Oscar Barry's entire body stiffened instantly.

Immediately after.

A large, pitch-black shadow emerged directly beneath him.

Oscar Barry gripped his long blade tightly, looking downward with a horrified expression.

From within the massive shadow, a vast amount of Mental Energy emanated.

Just being covered by it made Oscar Barry's movements sluggish.

"So strong!"

Oscar Barry's expression was one of shock.

He could feel that this Mental Energy was merely being emitted unconsciously.

Yet, even this unconscious emission made him feel weighed down.

This Mental Energy was already so vast that it could interfere with reality.

Oscar Barry did not dare to move.

Because he did not sense any hostility in this Mental Energy.

Instead, a sense of curiosity lingered within it.

Oscar Barry looked vigilant, staring intently downward.

Slowly.

An endless shadow floated upward.

That gigantic silhouette slowly came into view.

"Gulp!"

Even with his strong heart, when Oscar Barry saw the giant creature before him clearly, he could not help but tremble all over.

Venerable Phoenix was already the largest giant creature he had ever seen.

But compared to the creature before him, it seemed like a mere infant.

A whale.

A massive whale.

A whale whose full size could not be seen at a glance, like a mountain.

Its body length was nearly 150 meters.

Its pupils, larger than a house, were casting a curious gaze upon Oscar Barry.

That gaze felt palpable, making Oscar Barry's hair stand on end.

Such a behemoth had already transcended the Dao of martial arts.

Even if he were a First-Class Martial Artist, he feared he would be powerless to resist in front of this giant creature.

The massive whale enveloped Oscar Barry with its gaze and even attempted to make contact with its Mental Energy.

"Hmm?!"

Oscar Barry was slightly surprised.

He felt the goodwill of this giant creature.

Furthermore.

This vast Mental Energy also conveyed a message.

Although there were no words, the fluctuations of the Mental Energy allowed Oscar Barry to understand the giant creature's meaning directly.

"You want me to enter your body?!"

Oscar Barry looked at the giant creature before him, surprised.

Immediately after.

He saw the massive whale slowly open its giant mouth.

Water poured in.

Oscar Barry hesitated for a moment, but then he felt a strange aura from the giant whale.

He subconsciously glanced at the Phoenix egg in his arms.

The two auras were actually somewhat similar.

Gritting his teeth, Oscar Barry hugged his daughter and rushed into the giant creature's mouth.

The giant mouth closed abruptly.

The massive silhouette, carrying with it an endless shadow, sank silently.

Inside the giant whale, the space was very vast.

Especially as they got closer to the heart, that aura became increasingly intense.

"It actually has a connection to Venerable Phoenix!"

Oscar Barry put his daughter down and could not help but stroke the Phoenix egg.

This was his god.

His faith.

The pressure inside the giant whale was completely gone.

With a wave of his hand, a stream of Internal Energy surged into his daughter's body.

His daughter, who had been asleep for many days, immediately woke up.

After checking his daughter's condition, Oscar Barry breathed a sigh of relief.

Just like that, they were carried by the giant whale as it sank into the deep sea.

Five days later.

In the center of the South Pacific, on a volcanic island.

The behemoth slowly appeared on the sea surface, its giant mouth opened, and Oscar Barry leaped out from the giant mouth with his daughter.

Landing on the sea surface, he turned to look at the giant whale.

"Whoo!"

A long whale song echoed.

A column of water, tens of meters high, was sprayed into the sky.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Oscar Barry and his daughter, the giant whale sank to the bottom of the sea.

Oscar Barry turned and went onto the island with his daughter.

Over these five days, he had basically figured out the giant whale's intention.

The giant whale had sensed a familiar aura and had rushed over from the deep sea.

It was this aura that made the giant whale kindly help him.

However, the one thing Oscar Barry could not understand was the meaning conveyed in the giant whale's mental fluctuations.

"Master's aura!?"

"Could it be that this giant whale is Venerable Phoenix's pet?!"

Oscar Barry pondered.

He walked onto the island.

Oscar Barry looked around and smiled.

He patted his daughter's head.

"From now on, this is our home! Let's build a house first!"

"Later, Daddy will bring all those uncles and aunties over!"

...

Beneath ten kilometers of thick ice.

The Five Elements Energy of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth circulated, transforming into a multicolored ball of light.

And within this ball of light.

Four clusters of divine radiance were surging.

Earthy yellow, deep blue, cyan green, and bright gold.

The four clusters of divine radiance surged incessantly, circulating among each other.

Each cluster of divine radiance was extraordinary, emitting sparkling specks of light.

And at this very moment.

The divine radiance, which should have been stable, showed abnormalities.

These four clusters of divine radiance did not want to flow, but when they circulated to a certain position, they would stutter slightly.

Immediately after, it would overcome this stutter and continue to flow to the next point.

However.

As time passed, this slight stutter continued to expand.

Until a certain moment.

A tearing sensation followed.

The perfect cycle began to disintegrate.

The surging divine radiance began to recede.

Strands of divine radiance retracted into the five organs.

The liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys suddenly shone brightly.

The divine radiance accumulated continuously within the four organs.

And as time passed, an abnormally large amount of divine radiance had accumulated within the four organs.

Then.

It began to overflow.

The divine radiance, like flowing water, overflowed from the four organs.

The overflowing divine radiance began to spread outwards, centered on the four organs.

It seemed to have a natural affinity with flesh and blood.

The divine radiance rapidly merged into the cells of the flesh and blood.

It was not just one type of divine radiance.

But four.

Extremely fine strands of divine radiance appeared in the very center of the cells.

Looking closely, all four types of divine radiance appeared in every cell.

Somehow, the divine radiance settled within the cells.

Different divine radiances overlapped with each other.

When it reached a certain level, this divine radiance began to entwine and transform into one another.

Earth produces Metal, Metal produces Water, Water produces Wood, Wood...

Similarly, the transformation was severed.

In an instant, it was as if some kind of balance had been broken.

Four distinct strands of divine radiance began to clash.

Colliding incessantly.

The cells were extremely fragile.

Even the Xiantian Precious Body was fragile in the face of energy, let alone the even more extraordinary divine radiance.

However, the moment the cells were torn, they were restored.

A deep vitality emerged from the depths of the cells.

Then.

The divine radiance collided, the cells tore, vitality surged, and the cells were restored.

This cycle repeated.

In a short time, it had already repeated several times.

And this situation was constantly intensifying.

Later on.

This tearing and restoration developed at an extremely fast speed.

It even spread to all the flesh and blood cells in the entire body.

Not only that.

Even the vast Mental Energy in his mind began to be affected.

Ji Yebai's consciousness was void, but the vast Mental Energy in his mind was becoming increasingly powerful.

As the cells of his entire body began to tear continuously, a vibration began to appear within this Mental Energy.

Time passed, and the tearing continued.

Finally, there was a moment.

A trace of Mental Energy was shaken out of the sea of consciousness.

And the next moment, this trace of spirit tore along with the flesh and blood cells.

Until finally, it was torn into specks of Mental Energy light.

A miraculous scene appeared.

Before the Mental Energy specks could aggregate, they were incorporated into the restored cells.

With constant tearing and restoration, the cells themselves began to change.

Every time it tore and restored, imperceptible specks of divine radiance merged into the cells, and the same went for the Mental Energy specks.

Merging into one, inseparable.

Beneath the lonely, ten-thousand-year-old ice.

Ji Yebai sat cross-legged, his consciousness completely absent.

But looking closely, one would find that his entire body was vibrating.

An extremely subtle vibration, invisible to the naked eye.

Accompanied by the vibration, strands of miraculous light began to emerge from within his flesh and blood.
