104: Arrival at the Devouring Coast

Lu Hao slowly surfaced after playing in the water for a while.

“Pfft, ah!”

Lu Hao spat out a mouthful of water, then wiped the water from his face with his hand.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a huge black shadow rapidly descending from the sky.

Then.

“Bang!”

A loud noise rang out, and an enormous splash of water erupted.

Just as Lu Hao opened his mouth to speak, he was hit full-on by that massive splash.

It choked him terribly.

He was pushed back dozens of meters by the towering wave.

“Cough, cough, cough! Cough, cough!”

“You Stubborn Ox!! Are you trying to murder your master?!”

Lu Hao roared, dove back into the water, grabbed Stubborn Ox's horns underwater, and gave him a good beating!

“Moo? Moo?! Moo!!!”

Lu Hao punched him for a while, finally letting out his frustration.

As soon as he surfaced, another voice came from above Lu Hao's head.

“Daddy, quick, catch meee!”

It was Lu Xiaolong, who had once again jumped down from ten thousand feet up.

Seeing this, Lu Hao immediately dodged to the side.

Catch him? Not a chance!

“Bang!”

A small figure rapidly plunged into the pool, and gurgling sounds emerged from the water.

A moment later, a chubby face surfaced, with a look of Life Qi on it, muttering:

“Hmph, bad Daddy, Xiaolong won't talk to you for five minutes!”

Lu Hao watched from the side, laughing heartily.

He began to continuously splash water on Stubborn Ox and Xiaolong.

The Dragon and the Ox, seeing this, were not to be outdone and fought back vigorously!

The three of them thus began to play in the water.

The man, the Dragon, and the Ox had a blast under the waterfall, with laughter and joy constantly echoing.

After a while, the few of them, still playful, jumped down together from above again.

Instantly, three splashes erupted, and when Lu Hao surfaced this time, he was holding a fish in his hand!

He even held it up and shook it at the Dragon and the Ox, his eyes full of smugness.

The two beside him, seeing Lu Hao's appearance, how could they endure it?

They immediately dived into the water to catch fish.

And so, a fish-catching competition officially began!

The sky gradually darkened, stars twinkled, and the moonlight was as bright as snow.

The three sat around a bonfire, warming themselves and roasting fish.

Three figures, but only one fish!

That's right, after their unremitting efforts.

The fish-catching champion was finally awarded to Lu Hao; he caught one fish!

The runner-up was Lu Xiaolong; although he didn't catch a fish, he scraped off a fish scale from a fish's body.

The third place was awarded to Stubborn Ox, who caught nothing.

However, looking at Stubborn Ox's sulking expression, he was clearly unconvinced.

The roasted fish was completed under the expectant gazes of the three.

Lu Hao sprinkled various seasonings on it, and an aroma instantly filled the air.

The three of them salivated upon smelling the aroma.

The first bite was naturally given to Lu Xiaolong.

The three happily shared the only fish.

Afterward, Lu Hao took out “The World's Number One House.”

The three walked in, found a comfortable spot, and fell into a deep sleep.

With the companionship of this Dragon and Ox, Lu Hao's journey was not lonely at all; instead, it was filled with laughter and joy.

The only drawback was that the System had not issued any missions; Lu Hao estimated it might only do so when he reached a new Province.

The good news was that the person he was bound to had a new Breakthrough, and Lu Hao's cultivation had advanced further.

Of course, reaching the Undergoing Tribulation stage was still a long way off.

Lu Hao's journey was also slowly shortening with one surprise after another.

Although they occasionally stopped in one place, they spent most of their time traveling.

In three months, the three of them didn't know how much distance they had covered.

Stubborn Ox also successfully achieved a Breakthrough to the Undergoing Tribulation stage during the journey; of course, Lu Hao provided Medicinal Pills, otherwise, it would have taken several more years.

Three months later, the trio, who had been traveling and playing along the way, arrived in a small town.

The town was named Linhai City; its area was far from that of Nansu City, but it was still quite lively.

Lu Hao stood on the edge of Linhai City, gazing into the distance.

Looking at the boundless Devouring Demon Sea, Lu Hao's heart was filled with shock and joy.

The regret of not seeing the sea in his previous life was compensated for here.

The One Hundred and Eight Provinces of the Eastern Domain are one hundred and eight small continents.

It is said that in ancient times, the entire Eastern Domain was a single entity, a truly vast continent!

The prosperity of the Eastern Domain at that time was unimaginable.

Only Nascent Void Cultivators were qualified to establish a Sect, and if one wanted to have a certain reputation within it.

One had to be in the Yang Solid Realm.

But one day, two peerless powerhouses fought to the death in the Eastern Domain!

It is said that these two powerhouses might have been true Immortals!

They fought fiercely for a supreme treasure in the Eastern Domain.

That battle caused mountains and rivers to invert, and the sun and moon to lose their light.

Both peerless powerhouses used all their means, betting everything they had to seize the supreme treasure.

Ultimately, this battle lasted for a full three years!

Its outcome is unknown, or perhaps those who knew the outcome are no longer in this Realm.

The people of today only know that the epoch-making battle was an immeasurably great catastrophe for the entire Eastern Domain.

The reckless battle of the two powerhouses produced incredibly terrifying aftershocks.

The number of people who perished due to the aftermath was simply countless!

Countless Sects were destroyed, and countless Legacies were severed.

Even in the final collision, the entire Eastern Domain continent was shattered!

It split into exactly one hundred and eight pieces.

Now, the one hundred and eight landmasses each float above the Devouring Demon Sea.

Thus becoming the current One Hundred and Eight Provinces.

The Provinces shattered and split by the battle vary in size; for example, Northern Desolate Province is a very small one among them.

The largest Province is Thousand Stars State, its area is three thousand times that of Northern Desolate Province!

It accounts for one-third of the original Eastern Domain's size.

Between the One Hundred and Eight Provinces, there is now very little contact.

Because between the two Provinces lies the Devouring Demon Sea.

This sea is a Heaven-reaching Sea; the entire Tianxuan Ancient Realm floats upon the Devouring Demon Sea!

To this day, the people of the Ancient Realm still haven't figured out the origin of the Devouring Demon Sea.

And what level of existence lies within the Devouring Demon Sea.

After all, even the entire Tianxuan Ancient Realm is only a small part compared to the Devouring Demon Sea.

Within the Devouring Demon Sea are unimaginable lives and races.

If a Cultivator crosses the sea, in the depths of the Devouring Demon Sea, it is possible to encounter things that are simply unimaginable.

Once encountered, the outcome is basically death.

Therefore, very few Cultivators dare to cross the sea alone now.

Everyone simply develops within their own Province; if resources are scarce, then so be it, life is more important.

Generally, even if they have to cross the sea, they will choose to set off with several people, so that they can look out for each other if they encounter something.

Lu Hao was currently standing at the border, looking into the distance; he opened his Heavenly Eye of Unveiling and looked towards the sea level, but he couldn't see any other Provinces.

However, Lu Hao did see a small island, standing alone on the sea surface.

This small island was also very far from the shore.

Lu Hao roughly estimated that it must be at least ten thousand miles away.

He stretched, then walked towards the nearby Linhai City.

Lu Hao decided to rest here for a few days before heading out to sea!
