Chapter 160: Into The Deep

We crossed the calm sea as fast as we could since we expected company soon, we didn't want to delay and stay there as easy prey for any bored cultivator who would come and investigate the reason behind the disappearance of the Deeps.

As we moved across the sea, Wu Di's coughing fits increased, which only further increased the stress on the group, since we were moving with nothing certain but the only hope of finding a technique that can stop the Emrodite Plague.

The grand sea didn't seem to have an end as its calm seas were the only thing one could see. However, it was still troublesome to cross no matter how empty it seemed. Because it only takes a single look at the waters to see shades of creatures far larger than fright ships swimming mindlessly through it.

And what made us anxious the most, was the fact that there was a creature that we tricked into chasing a toy, and once he finds out about it, I'm more than certain that he'll be coming back with vengeance.

Soon enough, the sea parted, and for a moment my heart skipped a beat, as I didn't sense what came out of the water until it was too late, but thankfully it was only Y. And this increased our chances of survival greatly.

"Y, did you get it?" I asked Y who flew casually near us.

"Yes Master, it was an Egg of Delusion, hidden near the bast of a tower, it had an entrance above sea water, I suppose it is the place where you wish to go."

"Probably, can you lead us?" I asked through Divine Sense.

"Yes, but I can only work on low performance, the Egg of Delusion was too powerful for the Reactor you created, it almost broke down before I could even reach it. The Gravitational force shouldn't affect me, but the reactor has been slightly damaged and it will start leaking if I use too much power." Y replied in Divine Sense.

'shit, there goes my safety ticket, if Y can't function at full capability we will have a hard time fending off greater foes. I'll need time to repair and fix Y if I find time'

"Let's go then," I said.

Y then took a straight line forward, and we followed after him.

As I expected, Y was constantly pressing on the Demon Triggers I had for him, transferring the heat from the damaged reactor to the swords, and then he dipped them in the sea to cool them down.

'Damn, I'll need to create a protective layer for the reactor so this won't happen again. Thankfully, Y managed to get the Egg of Delusions, otherwise, if the reactor was to break before he took the Egg of Delusions, he would have shut down in the middle of the Deeps where none of us could swim down and grab him back. I got lucky here, but I doubt I'll be lucky the next time.'

It took us a few hours before we saw the first sign of landmass, but before we could even celebrate.

"Demon Slaying Arts! Descending Blade!" roared Y, as he pulled both swords up, and swung down with enough force that the sea parted away, while from his swords, four draconic serpents surged out and shot down into the waters, creating tidal waves similar to the ones that were created when the Egg of Delusion was taken from its place. (Guess the Reference!)

I wondered why would Y even try and use such a powerfu
