Chapter 149: Draining the Sea, You Still Want to Escape?
The big fish, vying with each other, swam towards Bai Ze, each one’s eyes gleaming with a greedy light. They had already recognized him as a good ingredient, not an ordinary human.
Eating this child will greatly enhance their power.
“You forced my hand!”
Bai Ze opened the stopper of the Mutton Fat White Jade Bottle and recited a magic incantation. Then, the surrounding seawater began to surge into the bottle.
Between the sea and the sky, a giant funnel seemed to appear. The funnel seemed bottomless, endlessly devouring the azure seawater.
“This…”
Poseidon was astonished. He stood on the waves but clearly felt the entire sea level dropping.
Only then did Poseidon seriously look at the white jade bottle in Bai Ze’s hand. The bottle was like a bottomless pit, ruthlessly swallowing massive amounts of seawater.
Poseidon panicked and roared, “Stop him!”
One after another, sea beasts pounced towards Bai Ze. However, Bai Ze, using his agility, continuously dodged, causing the sea beasts to miss their targets.
At this moment, several agile, shrimp-shaped sea beasts approached Bai Ze at an extremely high speed. This was no longer something he could dodge, so he had to retreat back to the shore.
Afterward, he continued to dodge along the shore while using the white jade bottle to absorb seawater.
At this moment, one-third of the seawater was gone!
“Stop him!”
Poseidon roared. If the seawater continued to decrease, all the sea beasts would be stranded.
However, Bai Ze took advantage of the sea beasts’ inability to go on land, and their slow movement when they did, to continuously absorb seawater from the shore.
Two-thirds of the seawater was gone!
At this point, many of the huge sea beasts were already stranded. The big fish that had been vying to swim towards Bai Ze were now struggling in the mud.
However, there were still many sea beasts of medium size and below that could move freely.
Poseidon really wanted to personally intervene and save his fish.
But that would break the rules of the assessment.
He roared hoarsely, “Kill him! Kill him!”
Poseidon had already realized that if Bai Ze wasn’t stopped quickly, the water of the entire sea would be drained, and all the sea beasts he had painstakingly collected over the millennia would die!
He couldn’t accept this outcome!
Under Poseidon’s urgent roars, the big fish that hadn’t been stranded swam towards Bai Ze.
However, Bai Ze calmly continued to dodge the sea beasts while using the white jade bottle to devour the seawater.
The child was extremely relaxed and at ease, acting as if he didn’t care.
Those medium-sized and smaller sea monsters that had swum towards Bai Ze soon discovered that the water beneath them was also gone, and they too began to be stranded.
Half an hour later, all the sea monsters were stranded!
Poseidon was so surprised that his mouth hung open, unable to believe what he was seeing!
Just then, Bai Ze stoppered the white jade bottle. The place that had been a vast ocean not long ago was now a mudflat.
And there were sea beast corpses everywhere.
“Tsk!”
Bai Ze sighed, then, with his small hands behind his back, he leisurely began to walk with measured steps, stepping into the void and heading towards the other side of the sea.
On the cloud platform, the watching immortals and deities burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, who would have thought that such a vast ocean would turn into a dry mudflat in just a short while.”
“Poseidon, hurry back to your Olympus, don’t embarrass yourself here. You want to kill our Bai Ze? Dream on!”
“How is it? Did you lose all your capital? All your sea beasts died here, right?”
Seeing his little grandson leisurely walking towards the other side of the sea, the Jade Emperor also picked up his teacup and took a leisurely sip: “A mere minor god from Olympus is nothing more than that.”
Taibai Jinxing said, “As expected of Your Majesty’s grandson, he perfectly inherited all your strengths, just as outstanding as Your Majesty was in your youth.”
โโโ
The Jade Emperor was pleased by the flattery: “Hahaha, I’m not as good as the Immortal Official says, I’m only a little bit stronger than my little grandson!”
“……”
Taishang Laojun, Old Immortal of the South Pole, Longevity Great Emperor, and Ziwei Great Emperor were all speechless, thinking, Your Majesty, do you have any shame?
When were you ever comparable to this little grandson?
Over there, Old Yellow, seeing all this, became excited. He threw away the small flag he had before and, from who knows where, found a large flag. He waved it while shouting, “Go! Go! Go, Bai Ze!”
Nezha, stepping on his Wind Fire Wheels, put his hands on his hips in the sky and said, “Well done, Bai Ze! That Poseidon was so arrogant, he deserved to have all his sea monsters dried up.”
Nezha suddenly licked his lips and said, “So much meat to eat, it’s such a pity to let them die like this.”
Bai Ze turned his head to look at Nezha in the sky and patted the white jade bottle on his waist: “Many sea monsters were sucked in along with the water, I’ll treat you to roasted meat later!”
The space inside the white jade bottle could only store dead objects, not living ones.
Therefore, the sea monsters that were sucked in along with the seawater would also die, but there was no need to worry about preservation because the things inside wouldn’t rot.
It would be just right to have a big meal with Nezha and Old Yellow later.
At this moment, Bai Ze floated into the sky. Although he could only be ten meters above the ground, normal flight wasn’t a problem. As long as there were no sea monsters attacking, he could fly across the several hundred-mile width in a short while.
He flew towards the other shore like a shooting star.
Occasionally, a sea monster that hadn’t completely died would struggle to attack him, but their movements were extremely slow and clumsy, and he could easily dodge them.
However, it wasn’t completely without danger. A small number of amphibious sea monsters could still move normally, but they were less than one percent of the total.
As long as Bai Ze was careful to avoid them while flying, he could perfectly evade them.
Soon, Bai Ze flew to the center of the sea. Of course, it couldn’t be called a sea anymore.
And Poseidon was standing on top of a tall stone mountain in the center.
This was originally a reef, but because the seawater had been sucked dry, it now looked like a stone mountain supporting the sky.
“I’m going to the other side!”
Bai Ze greeted Poseidon. There was no other way. According to the normal rules, Poseidon couldn’t interfere, he could only use the obstacles he had set up to hinder Bai Ze.
Otherwise, if a chief god-level being were to assess someone who hadn’t become a god, wouldn’t that person be dead?
Poseidon’s face was swollen with anger. He really wanted to stab Bai Ze to death with his trident, but he had already sensed that there were multiple forces covering him. If he dared to do that, he would probably die before he even succeeded!
Poseidon coldly smiled: “Do you really think it’s that easy for you to pass?”
Bai Ze suddenly paused slightly, turned around, and looked at Poseidon: “Or what?”
Poseidon said, “Don’t forget that I am the Sea God. Since you can use a holy artifact to take away the seawater, does it mean that I, as the Sea God, don’t even have the ability to release water?”
As he spoke, Poseidon thrust his Sea God Trident into the ground. The originally dry seabed was instantly covered with seawater, and in a short while, it was rippling again.
And those dying sea beasts all came back to life at the same time.
Coupled with the damage Bai Ze had inflicted on them before, all the sea beasts were now looking at Bai Ze with red eyes!
They had to tear this hateful child apart!
Poseidon smiled faintly: “Hehe, your white jade bottle did surprise me, but do you know why I let you suck the seawater dry and only now replenished it?
This is the center of the sea, you’ve flown here, so you should be unable to retreat back to land, right?”
It turned out that Poseidon had been acting all along. He had deliberately lured Bai Ze to the center of the sea, cutting off his retreat and allowing the sea monsters to better surround and kill him.
