Bits and pieces of the ship floated through the water and the only recognizable part from the wreckage was the battered deck. Not a single soul could be found in the ruins.
After a careful examination of the rubble, Austin found that the ship was undeniably one that the emperor of the Sky Phoenix Kingdom obtained.
The emperor took a great number of his men with him to form an impressive army.
Their crusade won the emperor three ships and this wreck was one of them.
"There's blood over there. Everyone aboard this ship must be dead already,"
a strong evil creature boomed out.
Blood pooled and dripped all over the wrecked ship. It was clear that no one survived.
"Keep your eyes open. Something's going on in these waters,"
the demonic avatar reminded the other evil creatures.
Of course, Austin controlled its every move and word.
"There's a giant palm ahead of us!"
an evil creature cried out in a terrified voice as he pointed in front.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a gigantic palm jumped out of the waves. All they could do was stare in shock.
Apparently a person was under the sea.
A quick look was all it took to confirm that the gigantic palm wasn't made from vital energy nor Omnipotent Bodily Skill; it was purely made of flesh and blood. It meant that the mysterious owner of this hand was a giant.
'What race is this? It's so huge!'
Austin stared slack jawed at the sight before him.
With the help of his spiritual sense, he gave it a quick scan and found that it was a danger to them.
Under his control, the demonic avatar used its power to force the warship to turn around so they could avoid the giant palm.
There was no clear reason but every nerve in Austin's body told him that they would be in great danger if they went too close.
"The giant palm's moving!"
A demon cried out and all of them snapped to turn to him with wide eyed surprise.
Even expression on Austin's face turned grave as well. He manipulated the demonic avatar with his mind to speed the ship up. As if pushed by a gigantic force, the ship quickly flew away from the giant palm and left only rippling water in its wake.
Moments later, Austin easily spotted the gigantic head about a thousand meters high from the water's surface. Its eyes were closed and it floated silently in the water. For all intents and purposes, it seemed like someone was enjoyi
n the brawl. Moreover, his spiritual sense was strong so he spotted the giant before the others even noticed him.
"Let's get out of here!"
Austin's gut told him that something bad was going to happen so he immediately summoned his demonic avatar and steered the ship away to flee as fast as they could.
"Ah!"
A cacophony of distress reached his ears even as he moved the ship away.
Austin turned around and saw the giant head open its gigantic maw and bit down on one of the ships; its throat worked around almost half of the people aboard as it swallowed.
Five of them were strong masters who could match an ordinary sect ancestor.
Soon, it smashed two ships and left the wrecks floating on the sea.
The remaining great masters on the other ships were scared to death and ran away.
'The sea's full of danger, '
Austin thought to himself with a shake of his head.
The ship peacefully sailed on the sea for a few more days.
They couldn't help but be delighted when he caught sight of a continent ahead!
From afar, the continent seemed to be a world shrouded in golden lights.
Thick white fog enveloped the boundless land dotted with mountains and rivers.
Despite the colorful lights, a chaotic aura filled the air.
"We're finally ashore!"
Austin exclaimed excitedly and stretched his sore body.
He had his demonic avatar cast a spell on the ship to make it sail towards the land.
Meanwhile, dozens of ships were also sailing towards it.
'Is the Celestial Palace located there?
This land looks larger than the Immortal End Continent, '
Austin thought.
