Chapter 227: Sea Beasts
Lex, Angela and Ella left from the north edge of the continent as per the system's directions and as they reached the edge, even with their great eye sight, all they could see was water.
While within the water, there were millions of different kinds of unusual sea beasts and with most of the Lower Plains being covered in uncharted seas, traversing the sea was one of the most dangerous things a person could do.
Along with the sea beasts and multitude of unknown and dangerous creatures that could be found within the sea, there were also powerful storms that were powerful enough to destroy countries and there were innumerable dangers that they may come across.
Additionally the sea seemed endless and for most, it was a journey that would take weeks, months and even years to complete, meaning one would need a great amount of food and resources prepared.
On the continent that Lex was on, there wasn't one person that had left to sea, no matter what method they took, that returned safely.
Despite knowing all of that, Lex was very relaxed and confident in himself and his companions as he looked at the sea with an exciting expression.
He had the inventory that was filled with beast meat and could survive for years without food if he really needed to, which he would prefer not to do as it would effect his cultivation and body.
Lex was also confident in how quickly he would be able to transverse the sea and in his own strength, so he didn't feel any worry or fear in the slightest.
It was finally time for him to continue his journey and all he felt was anticipation.
"So then, wanna carry us along? " asked Lex with a smile on his face as he looked over at Ella.
"Aren't you the man, it should be you who should find us a way across. Maybe you should use that weird water ability of yours" replied Ella as Angela chuckled beside them.
"I could form an ice path for us to go along" offered Angela, however Lex reassured her that he had a much easier way to cover the sea, which wouldn't require much energy.
Lex could fly with Kano and he was quite sure that Ella would be able to fly, while Angela could use her abilities to turn the water beneath her feet to ice if they needed to, but that would be very draining and they wouldn't be able to use that method all the way across the sea.
Meanwhile, it would be impossible for the continent he was on to produce a durable and fast enough ship for them to take, so they needed to think of another way.
Ella and Angela could think of many ways they could go across the sea, however, all of them would require at least one of them to use large amounts of energy, making them vulnerable in the dangerous environment they would be in.
When they looked over at Lex, he seemed relaxed and confident and they couldn't help but be curious about how exactly he was planning to get across the sea.
Lex already had a plan for how he was going to cross the sea months before and his plan was very simple and easy for him to carry out.
"Just watch and you will find out how we will be crossing this sea" said Lex, seeing their curious expressions.
Angela and Ella knowing how powerful and unpredictable Lex was, moved a few steps backwards, giving him more space.
Seeing that, Lex laughed as he activated his Third Eye and the Dominant Eye through it, releasing his great aura and power that could be felt throughout the continent.
Any ordinary people, along with most low level cultivators, within Lex's presence would have instantly been killed by the sudden release of the power of his Dominant Eye.
Even Heaven Mortal Cultivators and the Earth Leader would have been knocked unconscious by such great power.
Angela stumbled slightly and almost fell down, but managed to regain balance and counter most of the effects of Lex's oppressive aura, while Ella seemed unaffected by it, but had a greatly shocked expression on her face.
Lex's Third Eye had advanced to the Golden Mortal Rank and was on the verge of reaching the next rank due to the amount of training that Lex had done with it.
It's power was enough to even dominate those on the Golden Mortal Cultivation Level and using it, Lex was planning to control a sea beast and ride it across the sea.
After feeling his aura and power that Lex seemed to be able to control, Ella figured out what Lex was planning, but Angela was still unsure.
"No wonder you were able to control so many powerful and capable beasts and also get them to be so loyal. It is also how he is able to control people physically and mentally. An interesting and powerful ability that his Third Eye has awakened and also seems to have infinite potential to grow even more capabilities" mumbled Ella to herself, analysing what she had seen Lex do previously and the current power that he just released.
Hearing that Angela understood and it went along with what the Jade Empress had just told her within her mind about Lex's Third Eye, which was rarely seen even at the peak of the Lower Plains.
Lex's aura caused an ominous feeling to all that it bore over and with the Originator Eye Demon residing within his Third Eye, its power was greatly increased.
Spreading his aura as far as it could into the sea, Lex found that it seemed to be endlessly deep and wide and scared off all the sea beasts apart from one.
With him merely unleashing the power of his Dominant Eye, he had cleared a path for his journey and also secured their mode of transport, which was the largest and strongest beast that he sensed near the shore.
