Yuchi returned to the small island in the center of the Vast Sea disappointed. To others, these treasures might be very important, and could be sold for large amounts of money, or used to gain status and influence.
However, he was not interested in such things at all.
All he wanted was to increase his strength so that he could resurrect Medusa one day.
That was all.
He would much rather see Medusa at her peak state and experience the power of those creatures from the ancient era back then.
Would he be the one kneeling before Medusa’s power, or would it be the other way around? Yuchi was not certain, but that was what made it so much fun.
…
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
After the Dragon Palace General, he had only encountered some small fish and shrimps in the past month. The Heavenly Dao expressions contained within their skills were extremely weak, mostly level one.
The Vast Sea was calm, and the mountains around the sea were caressed by a gentle breeze. The trees in the forests rustled, and the weather was warm and comfortable.
Everything was peaceful.
Yuchi was sitting quietly on the small island with his eyes closed as he held the fishing rod in his hand.
When his pair of eyes opened calmly, a hint of a smile finally appeared on his face.
[Fishing Difficulty Level: S]
It had come.
It had been almost a year since he had arrived at the Vast Sea. He had finally encountered an S-grade difficulty catch.
The success rate for fishing up a C-grade was 100%, B-grade was 60%, A-grade was 20%, and S-grade was only 10%.
Yuchi’s current cultivation had already reached the fifth-grade of the Dao realm (99%). He was only 1% away from the fourth-grade of the Dao realm!
Even though he possessed such terrifying strength, the fishing rod’s function actually said that his success rate was only 10%.
How strong was this guy?
Yuchi was very curious!
His blood started boiling as he gradually started pulling harder on the fishing rod. After a while, a figure appeared under the clear surface of the Vast Sea!
When he took a closer look, he realized that this creature actually looked like the legendary Dragon King!
It had a dragon head and a human body. It was three meters tall and had an impressive physique. It wore golden scale armor and its golden eyes glowed with power.
He even asked, “Who is disturbing my rest?!”
As soon as he said that, rain clouds formed rapidly in the sky above the Vast Sea.
A violent storm enveloped the Vast Sea. A few young monks who were still playing around the temple at the edge of the Vast Sea looked up at the sky in a daze. How did the weather change in an instant?
When the old monk saw this, he was shocked. He immediately grabbed the young monks and hid in a room in the temple. He did not even dare to breathe too heavily.
Although he could not clearly hear what the voice had said, his soul had been completely suppressed by its aura!
Had it not been for the fact that he was frantically circulating his cultivation technique, and that the voice’s target was not him, he would have knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the voice. He might even have been killed by the aura contained in the voice.
This was the Vast Sea Dragon King!
“Was this caused by the expert on the island?”
“If that’s the case, then he is in danger.”
“This terrifying aura caused the entire sky above the sea to turn dark!”
“I can sense the terrifying power of this monster. If it so much as touches me, I’ll die instantly.”
The old monk was extremely terrified.
When immortals fought, mortals would suffer.
…
On the small island in the middle of the sea, Yuchi was still holding the fishing rod.
He looked at the Vast Sea Dragon King that was gradually emerging from the depths of the sea in front of him.
He did not attack immediately. Instead, he asked the Vast Sea Dragon King, “Are you the most powerful ancient creature in the Vast Sea?”
The Dragon King stared at the human in front of him, his dragon eyes exuded majesty nobility.
“Who are you? You actually dare to speak to me like this.”
Yuchi laughed, displaying his white teeth, and said, “I’m just a nobody. But this nobody deigns to kill you, sir.”
The Dragon King burst into laughter.
The wind suddenly picked up, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled. Amidst the wind and rain, hailstones fell. Many perilous waves crashed upon the originally calm sea.
It felt like the end of the world.
Yuchi fixed his eyes on the powerful Dragon King in front of him, and then added a few words, “You have two choices.”
“The first choice is to either kill me or be killed by me.”
“The second option…”
“Wait until I’m strong enough to resurrect you, and then we’ll have a proper battle.”
“Right now, you’re just a dead soul, and your glory has long faded. Unfortunately, you have no chance of beating me in your current state.”
When Yuchi said these words, he was actually saying them out of heartfelt respect for this expert before him.
The Dragon King was already a dead soul. He would not be too happy if he won the battle against a soul that only had a fragment of its past strength.
Victory against experts like these would only be worthwhile if he could fight them at their peak. He would have a heart-stirring and bone-breaking battle, and then trample upon his opponent. That was what battle was to Yuchi.
“What an arrogant junior.”
“You’re actually thinking of resurrecting me.”
“You don’t even know who I am. I don’t need my full strength to kill you.”
The Dragon King’s answer was quite indifferent.
He puffed out his chest proudly. He looked down upon the tiny ants of the human race. He had killed countless ants like them in his heyday. Who cared about the life and death of one more ant?
“Final question. Do you know medusa?” Yuchi asked.
“Why do you ask that?” the Dragon King frowned.
Yuchi smiled.
“It seems like you do know her. Then, comparing yourself to Medusa at your peak, who is stronger?”
The Dragon King’s majestic eyes were fixed on the human in front of him. It had been a long time since a human had dared to speak to him like this.
However, it was also good to converse with this little guy before he died. He still had some compassion, after all.
“Medusa is the lord of the Netherworld Sea, and I am the lord of the Vast Sea.”
“There isn’t much of a difference in power between the two sides”
“In a one-on-one battle, I am slightly inferior to Medusa. However, if we were to fight an all-out war between the Vast Sea and the Netherworld Sea, the Vast Sea would definitely be the final victor.”
Medusa’s individual strength was extremely high. Although Yuchi did not know what had happened to her soul, to the point that her dead soul was no match for the Dragon King’s, since the Dragon King had said so, he could finally fight relieved.
The reason for this was simple.
He was worried that if he killed the Dragon King now, there would be no more powerful enemies like the Dragon King in the future.
Fortunately, there was still medusa.
Then…
The corners of Yuchi’s mouth curled up.
An intoxicating madness gradually filled in his eyes, and flecks of red appeared in his dark eyes.
“Come on.”
“Dragon King.”
“Kill me, or be killed by me!”
