Chapter 2509: Zhenhai Seven Sects |
Deep in the Great Dream Marsh, the gray-white mist swirled like a veil.
This uninhabited and dangerous sea area was currently overwhelmed by endless turbulent waves, as if thousands of troops and horses were galloping and roaring, occasionally raising terrifying tsunami waves.
It could be seen that more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators were arranged in order, with their qi mechanisms linked. Some held array flags, some held array plates, and others held Demon Hunting Crossbows, collectively maneuvering nine blue-gold chains as thick as barrels.
The chains were interwoven with intricate runes, tightly binding a dragon whale whose large, dark body resembled a towering small mountain.
This dragon whale’s body was covered in charred wounds, bleeding and constantly struggling and roaring, but it only managed to stir layers of terrifying waves, to no avail.
Upon closer inspection, apart from the nine massive blue-gold chains, several giant crossbow arrows, like fangs, were embedded in its flesh, fiercely suppressing its formidable demonic power.
With every struggle, these fang-like crossbow arrows emitted a ghostly sheen, intertwining with the chains around the dragon whale and the dark array flags in the distance, forming brilliant and dazzling formation patterns that suppressed it.
"This dragon whale is indeed extraordinary; judging by its size and appearance, it should have recently ascended to the Fourth Rank, yet it possesses such terrifying strength!"
Apart from the ten plus Nascent Soul cultivators, there were also three Nascent Soul True Lords exuding immense qi mechanisms on the sea surface.
Their Seven Sects of the Ocean, a top force in the Starry Sky Sea, had dominated the sea domain for thousands of years, relying on sea routes and hunting demon kings to remain unbeaten.
Therefore, they regarded the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale in front of them as a supreme treasure.
Knowing that the essence blood of such a demon king, whether used for cultivating certain secret techniques of the Seven Sects of the Ocean or to nurture and cultivate whale sea beasts, had great use.
"Apart from the Forbidden Sea, how could this tributary sea domain have True Spirit Bloodline? Could this whale have come from the depths of the Forbidden Sea?"
Beside him, a woman donning a purple fish scale armor with a fish tail ripple cloak, her posture graceful, spoke.
She had long eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin pale lips; her features were both coldly beautiful and sharply fierce, with skin that had a somewhat unhealthy pallor. Her eyes were as deep and dark as cold lakes, giving a sense of fatal beauty and danger.
As she spoke, her elegant fingers, painted with purple nail polish, gently touched the blood of the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale, her thin lips slightly parted, and a thin, orchid-like tongue gently licked and tasted it.
"Regardless of whether it is from the Forbidden Sea or not, our Starry Sky Sea and the Forbidden Sea do not meddle with each other; since this whale came to our Seven Sects’ territory, it is our prey."
The last was a Nascent Soul True Lord with a dark-cast face and a burly, majestic build, standing over a zhang tall, who spoke.
His arms were entwined with two blue-gold chains, resembling a sea beast, and as he spoke, black dragon-shaped airstreams swirled from his mouth and nose like a thunderstorm.
Just then, a blue jade talisman flew out from the sleeves of the three individuals.
"The plan has changed, an unexpected event has occurred."
"There are two Nascent Soul cultivators here, Fu Hai is dead!"
Their jade talismans all displayed the same message.
"What!?"
Their expressions changed drastically, finding it incredible.
According to Pinghai True Monarch and Fu Hai True Monarch, the master of this place was merely a lucky individual who had obtained a supreme treasure opportunity.
Or possibly a reincarnated cultivator, yet to grow strong.
How could two Nascent Soul cultivators appear suddenly?
And to kill Fu Hai?
Even if Fu Hai’s magic body had been destroyed before, and his cultivation greatly diminished from possession re-cultivation.
But his Nascent Soul Spiritual Body was still superior to many Nascent Soul cultivators, even in danger, he could have Nascent Soul out-of-body experience to escape into the void.
Besides Fu Hai, this time, there was also Pinghai True Monarch, Swallowing Sea True Monarch, and the diviner, Situ Mo.
In such circumstances, let alone two Nascent Soul cultivators.
Even three, four could not possibly trouble them or kill Fu Hai.
Unless the opponent was not an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant, a top-level cultivator!
Yet according to their understanding, this Great Dream Marsh was merely a tributary of their Starry Sky Sea, without even a Fourth Rank Spirit Vein.
And the Jiang Country it was located in was merely a remote area of the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, with only two Nascent Soul cultivators in the whole nation; how could it have a top-level mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse?
"Swallowing Sea cannot be making such a false report in this matter; the opponent very likely possesses some kind of Secret Treasure and attacked Fu Hai!"
The glamorous and cold Minghai True Monarch, wearing the purple fish scale armor, said.
Her Minghai Sect’s cultivation technique inheritance belongs to the path of concealment and assassination.
If well-prepared with the right time, place, and people, she also had the opportunity to kill Nascent Soul cultivators.
"Swallowing Sea’s urgent communication implies he is not the match, likely facing a mid-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse; I will now send a message to the Ancestor!"
The elder, holding the compass fish pole, upon seeing this, suspected the opponent was likely a mid-stage Nascent Soul giant, spoke solemnly and crushed a jade talisman.
To send a message to their Seven Sects’ Ocean-Calming Divine Needle—the Sea Suppressing Ancestor!
"Since the plan has changed, we should not waste time with this dragon whale! We should return first."
The burly and majestic True Monarch of Fury Sea immediately said with a serious expression.
They had made extensive preparations this time to hunt the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale.
Not only did several Nascent Soul True Lords come, but also more than ten Nascent Soul cultivators and a unit of Water Element Dao Soldiers.
If not for intending to use the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale as bait and cooperate with Pinghai True Monarch and others’ actions, they would have taken the Sea Splitting Mysterious Dragon Whale back to Starry Sky Sea long ago.
They wouldn’t have stayed here waiting and expending resources.
