Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 39 The Lord of the Withered Sea?

In the control room of the spacecraft.

"Seventh-tier, Star-level!"

Gu Ce climbed out of the nutrient tank, stretched his limbs, and his whole body crackled and popped.

Today marks the sixth month since I arrived at the Dry Sea Secret Realm.

As Sky Sea was about to sink, Gu Ce was awakened by Rimuru and emerged from the nutrient pod, ready to see the wonders of this cosmic secret realm.

Four months ago, some changes occurred in Sky Sea, but they only lasted for a few hours. Gu Ce was unable to find the source of the changes, only knowing that it seemed that many people had gone missing.

The bald-headed domain lord had come once before, but he couldn't find anything amiss; it was as if those people had vanished into thin air.

Ultimately, the matter was left unresolved.

Most of the wealthy young men who entered the secret realm left early after hearing about this. A few, such as Gu Ce, stayed because they couldn't bear to spend the entrance fee or felt they were lucky.

However, Gu Ce did not intend to stay here for long.

After observing the sinking of the sky and sea, he planned to leave and find another place to train.

Hong and Thor had both advanced to the Heng-level and were now exploring the universe.

Gu Ce was even thinking about whether he should also participate in the space mercenary assessment for fun.

"Rimuru, check if there are any strong sea monsters around," Gu Ce said.

It's been a long time since I've fought. Although I've been honing my skills in the killing field in the virtual universe, without the risk of injury, the threat of death, or real blood, it just doesn't feel quite right.

"There's a sixth-tier cosmic-level cloud shark nearby. I don't know why it's acting alone," Rimuru said curiously.

Don't cloud sharks always travel in groups?

"This is it," Gu Ce said nonchalantly.

Let alone a sixth-order cosmic-level being, Gu Ce was confident he could even contend with a ninth-order cosmic-level being.

In the past few months, in addition to the physical enhancements provided by the nutrient chamber, Gu Ce has made another breakthrough in the fundamental laws of water!

The realm of water has reached nine levels!

The Ninefold Domain is a realm that only a ninth-level Domain Lord can possess.

Gu Ce's understanding of the Law of Water has surpassed that of most Domain Lords, and even some Realm Lords may not have such a profound understanding as Gu Ce.

After all, under normal circumstances, one only begins to comprehend the laws upon reaching the level of a World Lord.

Of course, the most crucial element is the fundamental law of space.

Thanks to his six eyes, Gu Ce's body's compatibility with the laws of space is in no way inferior to that of the Demon Slayer Clan.

Although I haven't really comprehended the fundamental laws of space in the past few months in order to reach the ninth level of the realm.

However, Gu Ce's progress in this area is still quite fast. Now, he can create nine avatars, and he is only one step away from reaching the second level of the "Myriad Avatars" realm.

That cosmic-class cloud shark wasn't far away.

Rimuru pointed out the direction, and Gu Ce put away his spaceship and headed straight in that direction.

Soon, the large, plump cloud shark came into Gu Ce's field of vision.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Ce moved swiftly, leaving nine avatars in the water, as if ten people were attacking at the same time.

"Parting the Seas!"

Gu Ce's attacks were all deadly; he showed no intention of holding back.

If you can kill instantly, why slowly whittle down their health?

"Pfft!"

The sword left a long, thin wound on Cloud Shark's body, from which blood continued to flow.

Cloud Shark was enraged, its eyes red, and it attacked Gu Ce.

It was just as fast in the water, and with its gaping maw wide open, it was about to swallow Gu Ce whole.

A foul stench emanated from that enormous mouth, with rotting bits of flesh hanging from the corners, seemingly ready to fall at any moment. Upon closer inspection, one could see fragments of bone tightly lodged between the teeth, mixed with saliva and other filth, making one want to vomit.

Gu Ce frowned and quickly backed away, not wanting to have any close contact with it.

Cloud Shark persisted, and seeing Gu Ce retreat, it assumed he was afraid and its face turned fierce.

Two rows of sharp teeth rubbed together as it charged forward like a wild bull!

"spray!"

Gu Ce's figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Yun Sha. His water domain opened instantly, suppressing Yun Sha.

"boom!"

A clash of domains!

Gu Ce hadn't expected that the Cloud Shark also possessed a domain.

However, its domain strength is not high, barely reaching the second level. Faced with Gu Ce's nine-level domain, it is just like an ant trying to shake a tree, struggling in its death throes.

The "Wave" sword technique is based on the fundamental laws of water, and it has a bit of a "momentum" to suppress people. It emphasizes suppression and destruction!

The "Sea Dividing" sword technique is based on the fundamental laws of space, somewhat similar to the "Spatial Strangulation" technique—sharp and capable of cutting through everything!

Now, Gu Ce is using "Waves".

The Ninefold Domain suppressed the Cloud Shark within it. The Cloud Shark seemed to sense the approaching threat and began to sway its body.

"Whoosh!"

Gu Ce unleashed a sword strike!

"boom!"

Tsunami raged!

The Cloud Sea Sword, carrying the force of the seawater, instantly severely injured the Cloud Shark.

This sword strike landed directly on the wound that had been created earlier, widening the wound. The bones were shattered by the force of the waves brought by the 'waves', and the Cloud Shark's internal organs were exposed!

however.

Looking at the large number of bubbles that suddenly appeared in front of him, almost obscuring his vision, Gu Ce was slightly taken aback!

The surrounding water was constantly surging.

The seawater churned as if it were boiling, constantly producing bubbles that rushed towards the surface at great speed.

The Cloud Shark, severely injured but not yet dead, struggled even more violently upon seeing this strange phenomenon. Gu Ce frowned and plunged his sword into the Cloud Shark's brain.

The sword trembled slightly, shattering the cloud shark's brain.

Gu Ce stood on the head of the cloud shark, watching the strange changes in the surrounding seawater.

"Rimuru, what's going on?" Gu Ce asked.

Rimuru was equally confused; the Universe First Bank's detailed explanation of the Dry Sea Secret Realm did not mention this situation!

"Could it be the incident that happened four months ago?" Rimuru guessed.

"A strange change in the secret realm?" Gu Ce frowned.

This is hardly good news.

It should be known that some dangerous cosmic secret realms can threaten the lives of cosmic venerables and even cosmic masters.

This desolate sea realm has even been home to world lord-level sea beasts, so Gu Ce will not underestimate any dangerous place.

Confidence is not foolishness!

One's mental cultivation cannot be shattered by a momentary retreat.

The sky sea began to sink, the water flowed suddenly downwards, and the gravity was constantly increasing, reaching dozens of times that of Earth, and was still increasing.

However, the bubbling phenomenon did not stop.

The water temperature was rising steadily, and a huge whirlpool even appeared beneath his feet, swallowing everything around him like a black hole, seemingly trying to drag Gu Ce into it!

"Master!" Rimuru cried out anxiously.

Gu Ce took out the spaceship without hesitation, preparing to leave this place first, but found that the suction force under his feet suddenly increased dozens of times!

"Um?"

Gu Ce's expression changed, and he quickly crawled into the spaceship.

The spaceship mustered all its strength, trying to break out of the vortex.

In fact, they did achieve that.

But there are always unexpected events.

A giant whale, over a kilometer long and estimated to be at least a seventh-order cosmic-level whale, crashed headlong into the spaceship's path, becoming the final straw that broke the camel's back.

"boom!"

The spaceship swayed and drifted with the current.

The entire operating system is out of control. The power of the vortex outside has reached the level of a domain lord and is still increasing.

"Lord of the Withered Sea, hmph, even in death you can't find peace!"

Just when Gu Ce thought he was about to die before he could even achieve his goal.

A large hand broke through the water's surface, grabbed the spaceship, and pulled it, along with Gu Ce, out of the water.
