Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely

The extreme cold wind ravaged the shore, even turning parts of the sea into solid ice, resembling countless frozen planets.

However, this severe cold was firmly locked within the Icebound World itself and did not affect the outside world in the slightest.

Gazing at the Icebound World's vast and whitened frozen coastline and the oppressive sky, a sailing ship was breaking through the waves, advancing relentlessly.

Outside of the Icebound World, there was a stark contrast of sunny skies and a tranquil, beautiful sea surface.

Perhaps because this area belonged to the Future Water World, it lacked the turbulence of the ocean, emitting an aura of peace and serenity that seemed to calm one's mind considerably.

But beneath the water surface lay the burial ground of an entire civilization...

Splash~

A giant fish leaped out of the water, only to be caught in a water prison; Kisame casually pulled it, dragging the unknown species of large fish onto the deck.

With two teams of ninjas from the Land of Water and skilled crew members on board, the journey was indeed very comfortable.

Hozuki Gengetsu had taken his pay and was seriously considering Tao Yu's welfare.

Several Chunin who previously seemed unremarkable to Tao Yu each had their own special talents, including those who trained seagulls for scouting, those with extraordinary Perception, and also those skilled in cooking.

The skillful ninja cook also had a number of Sealing Scrolls containing ample seasonings.

"These Sealing Scrolls are really great items."

Tao Yu watched a Chunin form several hand signs toward a scroll and release the ingredients from within, his face showing a hint of emotion.

Although he already possessed the Corpse Hiding Mirror, and even had the chakra of two Tailed Beasts sealed within, the space inside was still limited.

Using his own items was fine, but carrying a large amount of supplies was clearly impractical.

For instance, the leather of that monster went cheaply to the Hidden Mist Village.

"As Mr. Tao said about the Sealing Scrolls, after leaving the territory of the Land of Water, they are indeed affected. Now, activating a Sealing Scroll consumes nearly half of my chakra."

The adept Chunin said, as he skilfully prepared the fish, also explaining some of the current situation.

It was already known in Marley that once the ninjas left the Land of Water, their chakra activity sharply decreased.

Currently, the ninja on the ship least affected was probably Kisame, who had abundant chakra reserves.

The other ninjas had all reported a decline in strength to various degrees.

Moreover, the Chunin experienced an even more significant drop, while the Jonin faced more constraints on endurance. A short burst of extreme power would not be significantly weaker, though.

"Actually, the consumption isn't really a problem; the main issue is that these materials are only available in your Land of Water, or rather, only in the Ninja World."

Tao Yu also fumbled for a set of scrolls.

All these he had conveniently brought over from the Hidden Mist Village.

Having now completely emptied the Hidden Mist Village's Sealing Techniques, Tao Yu could create his own Sealing Scrolls. Relying on the enhancement from the second Deification of his Sealing Skill, it was nothing for him to seal Tailed Beast chakra within.

Nevertheless, the materials for this type of scroll required a special kind of tree bark from the Land of Water. According to Hozuki Gengetsu, this was similar in other countries.

Tao Yu had previously checked and, without a doubt, confirmed these trees were a type of Yuan Force plant.

Unfortunately, these trees absorbed only a small amount of Yuan Force and took an extremely long time to grow. The Land of Water could barely ensure its own self-sufficiency.

Otherwise, during the Great Ninja War, logistics would not have been so critical since Sealing Scrolls could not be used indiscriminately.

If every person could carry a few scrolls, there would be no need to worry about logistics at all.

Similarly, Exploding Tags were made from special chakra-infused paper. The process involved completing the Sealing Techniques then infusing chakra into it.

They were convenient and delightful to use, but costly...

He got some seeds of both plants; Tao Yu planned to take them back and plant them for future use.

"In theory, changing the heart of the Naruto world is about the Divine Tree, so it's only natural that there are some unique plants."

Tao Yu sighed softly, looking ahead at the sea surface.

It had been ten days at sea, following the perimeter of the Icebound World. Fortunately, the ship, with its ninja world tech, was of high quality and fast. Tao Yu felt it would be considered a decent vessel even if connected to the world of the Pirate King.

Despite the monotony of life at sea, even though he had been accelerating the training of his skills for ten days, the returns were still minimal compared to a full Yinyuan cycle.

The companions were all rough men, dedicated to nothing but arduous training.

"The Land of Water is located in the middle of the Icebound World. If there hasn't been much warping of the pieces, we should be close. The journey has been smooth so far; we've been lucky..."

Just as Tao Yu was saying this, he suddenly turned to look toward the sea on the left side of the ship.

Within the visible range, the sea surface abruptly swelled up as if a massive creature beneath was surging towards them.

This caused Tao Yu to feel a bit helpless.

I was just commenting on our good luck!

At that moment, Kisame also quickly used his teleportation jutsu to appear in front of Tao Yu, his expression serious as he observed the approaching waves.

"It's a big one, likely the monster that attacked the coastline last time. Be careful, Mr. Tao."

"Did you forget? I beat up your Jinchuriki before. Such creatures are not easy for you to deal with either. I'll go take care of it."

Things that could be delegated to Kisame and the others, like fishing, cooking, investigating, or steering the ship, Tao Yu certainly wouldn't bother to do himself.

But clearly, considering the size of those monsters, Kisame and his team would have a bit of a struggle dealing with them, and it was likely they might even damage the ship.

In such a situation, Tao Yu naturally took it upon himself without hesitation.

"Mr. Tao, if you would, we will assist from the side."

As near-perfect mission-oriented ninjas, Kisame held no objections, aware of his place.

"Okay."

Tao Yu leaped directly onto the surface of the sea and then swiftly ran towards the bulge up ahead.

Following closely behind were Kisame and Hikariya Yo, who exhibited the standard running posture of ninjas, which, compared to Tao Yu's Phantom Demon Technique, was entirely different in style but matched in speed.

The six Chunin were left behind to protect the ship.

Tao Yu's Dynamic Vision had already made out the form of the monster beneath the water's surface.

It looked somewhat like a crocodile with arms and legs, and it seemed to be even larger than the previous one.

"Too bad Summoning Techniques are weakened outside of the Ninja World. However, I couldn't subdue this creature anyway—the power gap is too great. I can only kill it."

Tao Yu began to be enveloped in black mist, entering the state of Demonization, then reached out to grip the hilt of the Black Iron Heavy Sword on his back.

Aim for the vital points for a sure-kill strike!

Just then, Tao Yu forcefully stepped down, unleashing the Great Shift of Qiankun, effectively 'flattening' the entire nearby sea surface!

Then with a 'press'

He made a large section of the sea surface sink inwards, bouncing up like a trampoline due to the recoil.

At the same time, he warned the two behind him,

"Be careful."

Almost as soon as Tao Yu's words fell, a gaping maw shot up from the water where he had stirred, baring sharp teeth and a crimson oral cavity.

With grayish white skin and a pale belly.

It was a massive shark!

A Megalodon? Or something else emerged from a strange world?

"Is this Future Water World just a big melting pot? Why is everything being crammed into here? Is this what happens in worlds with weak defenses?"

Tao Yu was somewhat at a loss for words.

Neither the Future Water World nor the Ninja World had a proper world barrier, and the same was true for the Titan World.

However, the Titan World's neighbors didn't present any major disasters or problems, but now the Future Water World had become a complete sieve.

All sorts of things were popping up.

Why not just throw in an Azure Dragon while you're at it?

Soon, Tao Yu realized that the Megalodon opening its wide mouth and leaping forward wasn't trying to prey on him and the others.

Rather, it was trying to escape the pursuit of the monster behind it!

It was even possible that the monster itself was hunting the Megalodon.

Which was normal, considering how small humans were compared to these colossal creatures, hardly enough to fill the gaps between their teeth.

A sonorous, penetrating roar echoed, as the monster broke through the water's surface, and then extended what seemed like palm-like front claws, grabbing onto the leaping Megalodon's tail.

At that moment, the droplets of water splashing near Tao Yu seemed to slow down, as if entering slow motion.

The gaping mouth of the Megalodon, those uneven huge teeth, the flapping of the gills.

The monstrous waves bursting from behind as the monster emerged, the distorted roar filling the slowed-down world.

The next moment, Tao Yu moved, and the dazzling aurora swung out by the Black Iron Heavy Sword, like splashing water turned into ice, brushed towards the head of the monster—creating a beautiful, irregular rainbow in midair.

As the motion returned to normal, the monster, now missing half its head, loosened its grip on the Megalodon momentarily before falling back heavily into the water, causing a large splash.

The splash caused Kisame and Hikariya Yo, who were rushing over, to bob up and down on the waves.

At the same time, watching Tao Yu seize the opportunity for a fatal strike, they too felt a jolt of shock.

This employer was incredibly strong!

That sudden change just now—in an instant, he had found the perfect moment to attack!

Striking precisely at the monster's fatal spot!

This was, in fact, the efficiency that ninjas also strove to achieve...
