Beast Taming: I gained the talent of a spirit pet.

Chapter 457 Sea Storm!

The flesh, bones, and other parts of its body are all valuable to cultivators.

As for these cultivators, most of them had relatively ordinary cultivation levels and supernatural abilities. They were mostly rogue cultivators, with very few truly powerful individuals who had cultivated superior or even top-tier supernatural abilities.

Gu Yuan did not intend to expose himself, but flew quietly over from high altitude.

However, before Gu Yuan had flown very far, he saw that the distant horizon ahead was covered with a layer of dark clouds.

The dark cloud was spreading rapidly in this direction, and at the same time, dozens of strange tornadoes, resembling whirlwinds, were also surging towards Gu Yuan's direction.

These tornadoes resemble bizarre, giant columns of wind, connecting heaven and earth, and are truly magnificent and awe-inspiring. From a distance, they inspire a sense of dread.

Gu Yuan had excellent eyesight; he had already spotted the dark clouds and tornadoes even though they were thousands of miles away.

Furthermore, Gu Yuan also keenly sensed that the surrounding wind had suddenly picked up.

Waaaaah—waaaaah—

Strong gusts of wind surged in from afar, growing ever stronger.

"This is... a storm at sea?! Could we be that unlucky?"

Gu Yuan stopped immediately, his heart pounding, a bad feeling creeping over him.

Because he remembered what he had read in a book before.

At sea, extreme environments and locations can often breed terrifying storms.

These storms were similar to the typhoons Gu Yuan had experienced in his previous life, but they were far more terrifying.

Because these storms are often mixed with various terrifying evil energies and fierce energies, such as extremely yin evil energy, clear sky and cloud fierce energy, and five fires burning the netherworld evil energy.

With these malevolent energies mixed in, even a heavy iron mother or refined gold weighing hundreds of pounds would be ground into powder in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. Even magical treasures could be destroyed, let alone a cultivator's protective magical artifacts and supernatural powers.
Therefore, when faced with a storm at sea, not to mention ordinary people, even cultivators, including Golden Core cultivators, would flee at the mere sight of it.

In addition, Gu Yuan immediately noticed that several fishing boats below saw the dark clouds and tornadoes approaching from afar and were frantically heading in the opposite direction.

The sea dwellers above were filled with panic and fear, their faces ashen, muttering things like "A storm is coming" and "Run for your lives!"

Clearly, these people knew how terrifying the storm at sea was; they even abandoned their fishing nets and only cared about fleeing for their lives.

Gu Yuan even noticed that in the distance to the right, there were several cultivators working together to catch a spirit fish.

The spirit fish was over five meters long, its surface the same color as stone, and its body covered with sharp and hard protrusions and spikes, making it look quite ugly, but it was a true spirit fish.

Its flesh is delicious and suitable for cooking spiritual dishes. Moreover, it often produces a unique fish pearl inside its body, which can be used to refine magical artifacts and even magical treasures.

To be honest, this spirit fish is worth three or four thousand spirit stones.

Originally, these cultivators had worked together to capture it and trap it in a spirit net. However, upon seeing the storm sweeping in from afar, they abandoned the spirit net without hesitation and fled for their lives. The spirit fish and even the net were discarded without a second thought.

It is easy to imagine how much of a deterrent effect the storms at sea have on these people!
After thinking for a moment, Gu Yuan neither continued forward nor turned to flee. Instead, his escape light descended and he fell directly into the sea.

With his cultivation level, even if he fell into the storm, there would be considerable danger.

Therefore, continuing forward is not advisable, and turning around and fleeing is also not quite appropriate. Although Gu Yuan boasted of his speed, believing that even a storm at sea would have difficulty catching up, he didn't need to waste his energy.

Besides, if we only focus on escaping, human strength has its limits, and we will be caught sooner or later. It would be better to simply disappear into the sea.

Although storms can be rapid at sea, they are significantly less intense underwater.

For most people, this wouldn't be a good choice, but for a cultivator like Gu Yuan who practices the Water Element Dao, entering the seawater is like a fish in water.

They could live in the water for three to five months without coming out and it wouldn't be a problem.

Gu Yuan's body shimmered with water, and upon contact with the seawater, he quickly merged into it without even creating a splash.

Without hesitation, Gu Yuan entered the water and continued to dive deeper.

He knew very well that even if he entered the water, it wouldn't necessarily be safe, because those storm tornadoes often stirred up large amounts of seawater and created huge whirlpools.

If Gu Yuan were in shallow water, he would easily be affected.

On the contrary, the deeper one hides, the safer one is.

After diving deeper for about several dozen miles, Gu Yuan finally stopped. Here, the storms above were unlikely to affect him.

However, there were many more large fish and various sea creatures around.

Gu Yuan had no intention of causing trouble, so he simply concealed his aura and tried his best to hide his figure.

In addition, his divine sense merged into the seawater, and he could even "see" some things on the surface of the sea.

Not long after, Gu Yuan saw that the huge tornadoes that stretched from the sky to the earth were actually rolling in rapidly, though they seemed to be moving slowly.

Wherever it passed, large amounts of seawater, mixed with fish, shrimp, seaweed, and other marine life, were swept up into it. In addition, the tornado also contained debris such as gravel, mud, and the remains of unknown animals, all of which were carried away by the current within the tornado.

Seabirds and sea beasts that couldn't escape in time were caught in the tornado, torn apart quickly, and turned into broken corpses and minced meat.

In addition, Gu Yuan clearly noticed that deep within the tornado, streaks of lightning flashed intermittently, filled with violent power.

In addition, various colors of malevolent energy, such as blackish-gray, blackish-red, dark purple, light gold, and jade green, appeared intermittently, flying around from time to time.

Some harder materials, such as stones and animal bones, were easily ground into powder after being enveloped by this fierce energy.

Gu Yuan also noticed that one of the cultivators was a bit too slow and was caught in one of the tornadoes. He screamed and spun around in the air, completely unable to control his body.

Even protective magical artifacts and protective supernatural powers could not withstand the powerful winds around them and were easily broken and torn apart.

Not long after, the person let out a shrill and short scream, his body was torn into pieces, turned into a cloud of blood mist, and disappeared into the storm tornado.

Gu Yuan secretly rejoiced at this sight.

The storm at sea was indeed fierce. If it were him in that situation, he probably wouldn't have fared any better.

Although his strength was far beyond that of ordinary Celestial Realm cultivators, and even ordinary Golden Core cultivators would be easily killed by him, how could the power of one person match the immense power of heaven and earth?
