Now this is all that remains. All life has disappeared.
Qian Hai stood behind him, his blue eyes roiling with complex emotions: “While we were retreating, we passed by this place, and the corpses of those sea beasts filled the entire sea area.”
Some had already rotted away, while others were still struggling, emitting a black aura and with unfocused eyes, as if something had emptied them from within.
We wanted to save them, but we couldn’t get close at all; the yin energy is too dense, it even erodes our aquatic spiritual power.
Shenliu remained silent, staring calmly at the expanse of the gray-black seabed, his deep blue eyes churning with pent-up sadness and anger.
His lips were pressed tightly, and his fists clenched and unclenched repeatedly.
David didn’t respond.
He swam forward for some distance and landed on a gray-white coral reef.
The surface of the coral reef is covered in a layer of gray-black substance that feels rough and sticky to the touch, like some kind of decaying secretion that sticks to the surface of the rocks.
He squatted down, his fingertip gently touching the gray-black sediment, chaos power seeping into it through his fingertip.
He could feel that the sea was filled with extremely dense yin energy, which was like an invisible poisonous mist, covering every inch of rock, every blade of seaweed, and every stream of water.
They slowly eroded the vitality of this sea area, like cancer cells that silently continued to spread, multiply, and devour.
The yin energy was exactly the same as the one he felt in the gap in the Underworld Abyss, carrying the same power of decay and destruction.
It was thinner than those in the crevices, but more stubborn, deeply rooted in every corner of this sea like vines.
He raised his right hand, and chaotic power gushed from his palm, gray light spreading outwards like ripples.
The moment the light touched the grey-black substance, it emitted a very faint sizzling sound, like ice and snow meeting raging fire.
Under the shroud of chaotic power, the yin energy, like ice crystals thrown into a furnace, began to slowly melt, dissipate, and vanish.
However, the range of Yin energy was extremely wide, and the area he could purify with his own power was ultimately limited, like trying to scoop up an entire ocean with a small spoon.
David retracted his hand, staring at the coral reef that was once again enveloped in yin energy, his purple eyes twinkling with thought.
His brows were slightly furrowed. Once the chaotic power within him came into contact with the yin energy, he felt a very faint resistance.
That yin energy did not appear to be dead matter. They seemed to have some kind of primitive instinct, actively contracting, dodging, and then reforming when touched by the power of chaos.
“Blue Abyss, how many sea areas where you usually hunt are polluted?” David turned around and asked.
Lan Yuan thought for a moment, his voice sounding firm as he had calculated long ago: “The Abyssal Stream in the north is the most dangerous, covering an area of about three hundred miles.”
The ‘Azure Waves and Shallow Beach’ to the east is also partly polluted, although it is smaller, about a hundred square miles.
The ‘Blue Coral Ridge’ to the west has not been polluted, but ocean currents to the north will bring negative energy there. If it is not dealt with, it is estimated that the place will not survive in another half month.
The yin energy flowed south along the ocean currents, like an ever-expanding net.
David nodded: “Let’s start here. I need you to do something for me.”
“You do the talking.” Lan Yuan did not hesitate at all, his deep, sea-like eyes emitted a light that was firm and steady like a tidal wave.
“The reason why the yin energy in this sea area can persist is because it has a fixed source.”
David’s voice sounded confident: “Contaminated sea monster carcasses and gray-black substances deposited on the seabed will continue to release yin energy, like an inextinguishable poisonous fire.”
If the source of the problem is not addressed, simply purifying seawater is only a temporary solution; Negative energy will continue to grow back like weeds.
Lan Yuan’s eyes lit up slightly: “You mean finding those sources of pollution and eliminating them completely?”
“Right.”
David nodded. “I need you to collect all the polluted marine biota carcasses and gray-black sediment in this area and collect them in one place.”
I will deal with the yin energy within them. The carcasses of sea monsters are the biggest source of pollution; the concentration of yin energy in it was several times higher than in seawater, like a moving poison sac.
