Chapter 759 - World Of Behemoths

Although the vast number of sea monsters dwelling in the depths of the Bone Sea had powerful strength and physiques, they were weak against attacks on their soul.
Under Duna's soul suppression, the sea monsters couldn't bear it and fled.
Duna continued her descent without difficulty, shooing away any and every sea monster that dared to cross her path.
Nevertheless, the deeper she went, the stronger the sea monsters appeared.
At 10,000fts sea depth, Duna could only see Mid Arch Demon-level sea monsters as big as the human kingdom's palaces.
At 20,000fts sea depth, she finds Late Arch Demon-level sea monsters as big as the street blocks in human cities.
At 40,000fts sea depth, although few in numbers, only Peak Arch Demon-level sea monsters of various sizes thrived.
Furthermore, it was no longer a lightless world.
Glowing moss and other vegetation growing on the earthen spikes illuminated the sea region at this level of depth.
This continues all the way down to the bottom seabed at roughly 50,000fts, where even more exotic types of glowing vegetation and plants thrived.
The biggest Peak Arch Demon-level sea monster Duna encountered almost tripled the size of Late Arch Demon-level sea monsters.
They were simply behemoths.
Without special means, it was almost impossible for any demon below the level of a Demon Lord to make it to the bottom of the Bone Sea.
'People assumed demons are the most frightening in this world, but little did they know that the most frightening creatures actually live in the depth of the sea.'
Duna marveled at the enormity of a Peak Arch Demon-level blue octopus.
The Peak Arch Demon-level sea monsters like the blue octopus in front of Duna were so enormous that they didn't care for puny existences like her.
Nevertheless, the most frightening aspect of Peak Arch Demon-level sea monsters wasn't their enormous size nor their unfathomable strength.
These enormous entities have low intelligence despite their mighty strength; they didn't cultivate to become Peak Arch Demon-level existences.
They simply lived and became Peak Arch Demon-level existences.
'This octopus must have lived for at least 100-thousand years…but this wouldn't make any sense according to the current world's knowledge…' Duna speculated.
'Without the aid of life-extending pills and treasures, the average lifespan of an unbound Celestial is only 10-thousand years, yet a creature below the Celestial Realm has lived for at least 100-thousands years?'
Duna was puzzled by her own speculation.
Perhaps the Peak Arch Demon-level didn't live for 100-thousands years; it just gave off the impression that it did.
While searching for the Demon Emperor-level Tomb, Duna's gaze fell on the moss and green vegetation growing on the earthen pillars and seabed.
'The energy of life and wood is especially prevalent in this region… How they are thriving in this devoid of sunlight; I do not know. These earth pillars are also not natural,' Duna thought with a frown.
The bottom of the Bone Sea has many strange points of interest.
The overabundant life and wood energy allowing the moss and vegetation to thrive without sunlight, the unnaturally formed earth pillars over 40-thousand feet tall, and the sea monsters' seemingly old age.
They were all strange points.
'Never mind. Leon might be interested in understanding these things, but not me. The Demon Emperor-level Tomb is more important.'
Duna focused on her objective.
Among the green vegetation growing on the seabed, Duna also found the temples, palaces, and mausoleums containing the resting place of Demon King-level beings.
They weren't big enough to hold any trials, but they were all protected by strange barriers.
Nevertheless, Duna shows no interest in any of them; she only seeks the Eternal Night Demon Emperor's inheritance.
'Eternal Night Demon Emperor…or rather, the Eternal Night Demon Empress should be a descendent of the Eternal Night Devil Empress. If her body is well preserved, I should be able to use her blood and flesh to reach completion in my Devil Spirit Physique.'
Half an hour later, Duna scoured the seafloor but still failed to locate the Eternal Night Demon Empress's tomb.
Each tomb on the seafloor had a distinctive aura that allowed Duna to determine the level of inheritance contained within.
But no matter which tomb Duna came across, their distinctive aura did not exceed the level of Demon King.
Nevertheless, Duna did not give up on her search.
'Seems like the Eternal Night Demon Empress's inheritance is not the location in the central sea region, so I will have to search the other sea regions as well.'
'How bothersome.' Duna frowned.
Locating the Eternal Night Demon Empress's tomb in the central region had been a fruitless endeavor; the demons' assumption on the Eternal Night Demon Empress's tomb location had been wrong from the start.
Shortly after taking one last look at her surrounding, Duna left the central sea region to search in the other sea regions.

In the west outer perimeters of the Abyssal Wood Forest, the Saresha and her clansmen continued to cultivate the Godfiend Body Forging Method in the medicinal bath as per their lord's instruction.
Even so, they could not retain their focus for long before getting distracted by the spatial phenomenon in the forest.
"Such a big spatial storm like this has never happened in the secret realm before and will surely attract everyone's attention. Will we be alright if we stay here?" a dark fae voiced her concern.
Saresha knitted her brows and surveyed their surroundings.
Although the medicinal bath was not out in the open, it was not exactly hidden either; passing humans or demons will notice them.
Saresha's frown deepened.
The Dark Fae Clan was caught in an awkward predicament where they could be attacked by humans or used by the other demons.
"Although our lord said he is siding with the humans, the humans might not know that we are with our lord. Thus, we will need to hide until our Lord returns. This is not a good place to stay."
Saresha made the call.
The rest of the dark faes were hesitant initially, but they eventually followed Saresha's lead and covered up the medicinal bath with leaves.
Then, they headed into the Abyssal Wood Forest to hide with their cultivation resources.
Not long after, Greater Demons appeared in the vicinity.
