Chapter 545: Meeting Each Other
As thoughts flickered through Ye Chen's mind, he had already been transported from the fourteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace to the fifteenth.
Each level of the Undersea Divine Palace was a new world.
He would face new lethal life forms, new crises, and of course, new opportunities.
However, when Ye Chen entered the fifteenth level of the Undersea Divine Palace, his state of mind was completely different from when he entered the previous levels.
Because in the fifteenth level there were eight "Eye of Creation," and Ye Chen now had the locations of these eight "Eye of Creation" in hand.
Even for the guardian of the fifteenth level, the Panpoluo Clan, Ye Chen no longer needed to worry about them thanks to the communication stone from the Divine King of the stone giants.
The fifteenth level was destined to be a level where Ye Chen would make a great harvest!
Ye Chen was certainly full of anticipation for entering it!
"Whoosh..."
As soon as Ye Chen arrived in the fifteenth level, his first feeling was fresh air, vast expanses, a sense of freedom like a fish bounding in the ocean and a bird soaring in the high heavens!
For this fifteenth level was an ocean world as far as the eye could see!
At that moment, Ye Chen was teleported into the sky above this ocean world, looking down at an endless expanse of azure seas, and up at a sky as clear blue as crystal.
The sky was clear and bright.
This world made Ye Chen involuntarily take several deep breaths, feeling that the fatigue from navigating the previous levels had been wiped away.
"This fifteenth level, worthy of having 'Eye of Creation,' is truly a wonderful place!"
Ye Chen exclaimed.
While Ye Chen was marvelling, the azure sea below suddenly rippled, followed by a rustling sound, and a large group of halberd-wielding half-fish, half-human creatures flew out of the sea, completely surrounding Ye Chen.
"This person has come to the fifteenth level, he must be here to search for treasures on our fifteenth level!"
"Capture the intruder and lock him in the sea prison!"
After surrounding Ye Chen, these half-fish, half-human creatures directly rushed forward, making a move on Ye Chen.
This group of half-fish, half-human creatures, numbering fifty-two in total, had an extraordinary aura about them. Almost uniformly, they were all at the level of a Five Tribulations True God, and there were even eight among them who were Six Tribulations True Gods.
Seeing these creatures come at him, Ye Chen smiled lightly, waved his sleeve, and sent all fifty-two creatures flying backward, ten or so meters away!
Even the Six Tribulations True Gods among them were spun around in the air by Ye Chen's force, taking several turns before finally stabilizing their forms!
Ye Chen's move shocked these half-fish, half-human creatures.
These half-fish, half-human creatures, upon scouting below and seeing that it was just a young boy who had come alone, and that the young boy's aura was only at the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint, decided to send a small team to capture him.
But they never expected that this young boy alone could repel all of them.
Not even the Six Tribulations True Gods could resist the power of this young boy's true qi!
This was truly inconceivable for these half-fish, half-human creatures.
"Are you members of the Panpoluo Clan?" Ye Chen asked, smiling at the half-fish, half-human creatures he had just sent flying.
However, these half-fish, half-human creatures paid no mind to Ye Chen's inquiry, staring at him in terror while emitting sharp cries.
These sharp cries rapidly spread into the azure sea below.
In almost an instant, vast waves, thousands of meters in diameter, stirred up within the blue ocean, and countless creatures, densely packed, burst out from beneath the waves.
There were tens of thousands of creatures in total!
The vast majority of these tens of thousands of creatures looked exactly like the ones from before, also half-fish and half-human in form.
And their realms were roughly at the level of Five Tribulations and Six Tribulations True Gods.
However, there were ten demonic creatures that were starkly different from these half-fish, half-human creatures. These ten creatures, also emerging densely from the tens of thousands, were notably the most powerful among them, each one having reached the level of a Seven-Tragedies True God.
These ten creatures, humanoid in form and roughly the size of an adult warrior, oddly had a strange shell shaped like an enormous sea snail shell growing from their backs.
When Ye Chen saw the bizarre appearance of these ten Seven-Tragedies True God creatures, a thought struck him, "Could it be that the earlier half-fish, half-human creatures weren't from the 'Panpoluo Clan,' and these ten Seven-Tragedies True God creatures actually are?"
Originally, Ye Chen was puzzled when, on the thirteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, he encountered an assault by the 'Flame Scorcher Clan' creatures—over five thousand of them, including two to three hundred of the Six-Tragedies True God level.
As a result, on the fifteenth floor, the mere fifty-two half-fish, half-human creatures that had tried to capture him earlier made Ye Chen wonder why there were so few creatures on this level.
Now, suddenly surrounded by tens of thousands of creatures, nearly all of them Five-Tragedies or Six-Tragedies True Gods, with even ten Seven-Tragedies True Gods among them, Ye Chen realized that this fifteenth floor, hiding the 'Eye of Creation,' was indeed extraordinary!
As Ye Chen was marveling internally, the foremost among the ten creatures with the strange sea snail-shaped shells on their backs directly shouted at Ye Chen, "Young boy, you dare resist the capture of the 'Panyu Clan,' a subordinate clan of our 'Panpoluo Clan'?!"
"This fifteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace is guarded by three great kings of our clan. Even a Nine-Tragedies True God would not dare to be rampant here, yet you are quite bold!"
"Men, capture him! If he resists again, kill without mercy!"
The creature with the strange shell was obviously a decisively murderous one. With a wave of its hand, the tens of thousands of half-fish, half-human creatures surged towards Ye Chen.
"Subordinate Panyu Clan of the Panpoluo Clan?"
"I had thought this floor was only inhabited by creatures of the Panpoluo Clan, and that another type of murderous life-form, similar to the one on the fourteenth floor, lay concealed, never to emerge. It turns out that the Panpoluo Clan is capable indeed, having made another murderous life-form willingly serve as their subordinate."
"Three great kings in command, and not even a Nine-Tragedies True God dares to run amok? Could it be that the three Panpoluo brothers are those three great kings? And they are not among these ten powerful demons? Are the Panpoluo brothers even stronger than a Seven-Tragedies True God?"
Ye Chen had originally thought that the three Panpoluo brothers, who were to convey messages from the Rock Giant Divine King, would be among these Seven-Tragedies True God creatures. Yet, they hadn't shown themselves.
It seems that there are indeed many hidden demonic creatures in this ocean world!
Seeing the Panpoluo Clan creature summon the tens of thousands of Panyu Clan creatures to move against him again, Ye Chen had no intention of wasting words with these demons any longer.
With a "swoosh," Ye Chen directly took out the half-meter-long rock given to him by the Rock Giant Divine King, specifically for the Panpoluo clan leaders, the three Panpoluo brothers, to carry a message.
"I have a message from the Rock Giant Divine King, three great kings of the Panpoluo Clan, please come out and meet me!"
Ye Chen's thunderous voice spread through the azure sea.
At the same time, he waved his large hand, throwing the half-meter-long rock right into the azure sea.
With the Divine Light left on the half-meter-long rock by the Rock Giant Divine King, Ye Chen believed that once it entered the ocean below, the three Panpoluo brothers would definitely sense it.
"Thud!"
The half-meter-long rock plunged into the sea, causing just a small splash.
The tens of thousands of 'Panyu Clan' creatures, as well as the ten 'Panpoluo Clan' creatures heading towards Ye Chen, were taken aback by his words and actions.
"A message from the Rock Giant Divine King?"
"Who is that?"
These creatures were not at a level to know about the Rock Giant Divine King, and for a moment, they were somewhat perplexed.
Just as they thought Ye Chen was pulling some trick and many of them were itching to attack him again, the azure ocean below suddenly stirred up towering waves.
Amidst the towering waves, a voice of utter shock called out, "A message from the Divine King!"
"The esteemed friend of the Divine King, Mr. Ye Chen has come to our fifteenth floor?"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Amidst this voice full of shock, the towering waves split apart, and three figures, each several tens of zhang long and also bearing odd sea snail-shaped shells on their backs, rose from the ocean and flew into the air.
Looking at these three figures, one of them was holding the very piece of half-meter rock that Ye Chen had just thrown into the sea.
All three figures were indeed of the Nine-Tragedies True God realm!
Three sets of divine eyes shone as they flew from the sea and directly looked towards Ye Chen, all shaking as they addressed him, "Are you, Mr. Ye Chen?!"
