Fang Yang sat cross-legged in the ten-thousand-meter deep sea, bathed in a circulating brilliance.
Eight unique flames, each of a different color, danced around him, each emitting a heart-pounding fluctuation.
Xuan Huang Flame was as heavy as the earth, glowing with a gentle yellow halo, while Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire was blood-red, faintly echoing with the roars of a hundred beasts.
The Yin and Yang Twin Flames intertwined in black and white, depicting the cycle of life and Reincarnation, and Netherworld Poison Flame glowed with an eerie green light, dyeing the surrounding seawater an emerald hue.
Qing Lian Earth Core Fire swayed gracefully, each petal of flame carved like jade, and Fallen Heart Flame, formless and intangible, nevertheless rippled through the seawater.
Sea Heart Flame was as deep blue as the most profound ocean, resonating and trembling with the surrounding water, while Fire Cloud Water Flame transformed into sky-blue mist, stretching and shifting in the currents, dreamlike and ethereal.
The eight unique flames orbited him like stars around the moon, emitting a terrifying energy fluctuation that illuminated the ten-thousand-meter deep sea as if it were daytime.
Fang Yang slowly opened his eyes, flames swirling within them before finally settling into tranquility.
"Meow~"
Xiao Hei curiously approached, its tiny cat paws gently touching the various colored flames circling its master.
These terrifying unique flames, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, now showed gentleness towards this small black cat.
Like domesticated pets, they reined in their wild nature, allowing it to playfully bat at the dancing flames with its paws.
"Collect."
With a soft command, the eight unique flames flowed into his body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
The bottom of the deep sea was once again enveloped in eternal darkness.
Fang Yang felt the surging power of the unique flames within his body, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He gently raised his hand, and Fire Cloud Water Flame and Sea Heart Flame appeared out of thin air.
"Devour!"
Fire Cloud Water Flame transformed into a sky-filling mist, while Sea Heart Flame surged like angry waves.
The two unique flames frantically devoured energy in the deep sea, forming a massive energy vortex.
The seawater for several miles around began to tremble violently.
Pure water-attribute energy surged in like a tide, refined by the unique flames into the purest energy, continuously flowing into Fang Yang's body.
At the same time, the entire sea trembled.
On the two giant ships, Star Luo and Douluo, many powerful individuals simultaneously sensed it.
Red Dragon Douluo Zhuo Shi suddenly opened his eyes, his white robe fluttering without wind: "How can there be such terrifying energy fluctuations in the deep sea?"
Sima Lanxiao, along with the accompanying Star Luo powerhouses, also came to the deck, watching the turbulent sea below with surprise and uncertainty.
"This aura… is it from the deep sea?"
A Titled Douluo from the Star Luo Empire murmured, his face filled with disbelief.
At the bottom of the deep sea, Fang Yang was completely unaware of the commotion on the surface.
He felt that after devouring the ocean's energy, the energy within his body became increasingly abundant.
Fire Cloud Water Flame and Sea Heart Flame were in their element in this Domain, greedily absorbing the ocean's energy.
Xiao Hei stood guard protectively, the flames in its ethereal eyes flickering incessantly.
It occasionally looked towards the center of the energy vortex, and at other times scanned the surrounding darkness, acting as a Protector for its master while also enjoying the pure energy permeating this sea area.
A moment later, Fang Yang slowly said, "That's enough. If it's not, I can always come back to absorb more later."
Ocean: "Are you human?"
He could feel that his body was not only filled with unique flame energy but also with the vast power of the ocean.
This energy was enough for him to Breakthrough to Titled Douluo.
As Fang Yang's thoughts shifted, Fire Cloud Water Flame and Sea Heart Flame slowly receded, and the energy vortex in the deep sea gradually calmed down.
The violently trembling seawater also returned to its usual tranquility, leaving only silent undercurrents.
"It's time to go back."
Fang Yang whispered, reaching out to embrace Xiao Hei.
Undercurrents surged in the deep sea, and a figure broke through the water barrier, speeding towards the surface.
In the shadows, a colossal figure slowly appeared.
It was a deep-sea Dragon over ten thousand meters long, its crimson eyes filled with unwillingness and rage.
"Damn it, all the deep-sea energy in my territory has been absorbed by that human."
The Dragon roared softly, its sound waves echoing through the deep sea.
It had originally intended to attack the intruder but chose to retreat after sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party.
During this time, it had considered a sneak attack, but even the seemingly small black cat exuded a terrifying pressure that made its heart pound.
"What are you looking at?"
The Dragon roared at a lurking Sea Spirit Beast not far away, venting its anger on the other party.
"I can't keep this territory, so I'll take yours!"
With that, its massive body suddenly charged towards the unfortunate Sea Spirit Beast's territory, stirring up waves of undercurrents… When Fang Yang silently returned to the cabin of the Star Luo, a familiar voice came from the bed.
"Fang Yang, that commotion just now was caused by you, wasn't it?"
Gu Yue, wearing a white nightgown, was lying on her side on Fang Yang's bed.
Her waterfall-like black hair fanned out on the pillow, making her skin appear even fairer than snow.
Moonlight streamed through the porthole, casting a faint glow on her delicate face, and her eyes shimmered with an all-knowing light in the dimness.
Fang Yang smiled slightly, walked to the bed, and sat down: "My Yue'er is so smart, nothing can be hidden from you."
"Hmph."
Gu Yue softly snorted, making to get out of bed and leave, but he reached out and held her back.
Before Gu Yue could finish her sentence, Fang Yang gently pulled her back onto the bed.
"Since you're already here, don't leave."
Fang Yang said softly, pulling Gu Yue back onto the bed, "Tonight, we'll sleep together."
Gu Yue didn't resist, only a blush spread across her cheeks, looking exceptionally beautiful in the dim moonlight.
She gently turned her face away and whispered, "Idiot, who wants to sleep with you…"
Seeing her like this, Fang Yang's heart warmed, and he gently embraced her, pulling the blanket over both of them.
Xiao Hei obediently jumped off the bed, found a comfortable spot in the corner, and lay down, closing its eyes in a feigned nap, though its tail still occasionally swayed gently.
Silence filled the cabin, broken only by their steady breathing and the faint sound of waves outside the window.
Gu Yue's body was initially a bit stiff, but in Fang Yang's warm embrace, she gradually relaxed.
She leaned gently against Fang Yang's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling his reassuring presence, and an unprecedented sense of security welled up in her heart.
"Were you preparing to Breakthrough at the bottom of the sea just now?" Gu Yue asked softly, her voice tinged with concern.
Fang Yang stroked her black hair and whispered, "Yes, accumulating some energy. When the time is right, I can Breakthrough to Titled Douluo."
Gu Yue looked up at him, a hint of complexity flashing in her eyes: "Your Cultivation speed is even faster than I imagined."
"Because you are by my side." Fang Yang smiled slightly, his finger gently brushing her cheek.
Gu Yue's face flushed, and she turned her head away again, but she didn't refute him.
They embraced and slept, enjoying a rare moment of peace on the vast, boundless ocean, in this small cabin.
Feeling the person in his arms gradually breathing steadily, Fang Yang looked down and found that Gu Yue had fallen asleep at some point.
In the moonlight, her peaceful sleeping face was breathtakingly beautiful.
Fang Yang gently tightened his arm and placed a soft kiss on her forehead.
"Goodnight, Yue'er."
Outside the window, moonlight spilled onto the sea, creating shimmering ripples.
