The Death Herald and the Last Sea Demon
The prisoners held in the underground dungeon were all once among the elite of the Sea Race.
Among them, the Sea Demon Species was once a race that was qualified to compete with the Dragon Spirit Species for the rule of the Sea Race.
But times have changed, and now each of these races has only one pure-blooded descendant left, who was captured.
All the heritage, civilization, prosperity, and pride vanished like bubbles.
These surviving descendants can now only reminisce about those long-gone glories in their memories.
These "surviving" descendants carried the hatred of their clan's extermination, yet lacked the means to seek revenge.
They were imprisoned in underground dungeons, losing their freedom and the opportunity to revive their race.
He could only cling to a brief but happy childhood memory as he endured long and agonizing hours in prison.
Then, it continuously brews ever deeper hatred and resentment within the soul.
Perhaps, the fleeting beauty in their minds is more painful than the scalpel piercing their flesh during sampling.
Therefore, when they die with resentment, it is the people who died unjustly who bring forth those Death Herald.
Among these people, the most tormented are the descendants of the Sea Demon Species.
Unlike other races, the Sea Demon Species is just one step away from the throne.
As it turned out, a traitor emerged from within their ranks.
The Dragon Spirit Species seized the opportunity to enter Chongming City first, setting a trap to wipe out the Sea Demon Species.
Whenever he thought of this, a massive killing intent would surge within the Sea Demon Species descendant towards Cheng Wenjie.
Back then, it was Cheng Wenjie who led the Cheng Family to betray the Sea Demon Species and secretly defect to the Dragon Spirit Species's military, which was advancing with unstoppable momentum.
At the same time, Cheng Wenjie was also one of the first officers to support genocide.
In addition, there has been the torment they have endured over the years in order to push forward the experiments.
New and old grudges combined, and after the Sea Demon Species detached from its broken body, they erupted completely.
The last Sea Demon Species died.
A Wraith Species, drawing upon the deep-seated hatred and chaotic Psychic Energy within the prison, was born from his remains.
Shisui sensed the presence of this vengeful spirit the moment it was born.
Therefore, his appearance did not surprise Shisui in the slightest.
During a break in the battle, Shisui glanced into the distance.
The vengeful spirit emanated a nauseating black aura, its distorted features revealing endless pain, resentment, and brutality.
His eye sockets were set with pure black pupils, from which tears as black as ink constantly welled up.
Just then, the Dragon King Clone suddenly lashed out with its tail.
The Dragon King Clone had clearly also noticed the appearance of the vengeful spirit.
But he judged that the thing was too weak.
Therefore, he simply couldn't be bothered with that newly born and still unstable fragile creature.
He wanted to seize the opportunity when Shisui's attention was diverted to launch an attack.
This foreign invader is much more troublesome.
The attack was incredibly powerful, generating a strong wind that carried lava, causing parts of the prison's defensive array to shake violently and show signs of cracking.
However, Shisui easily dodged the fatal blow by sidestepping.
Even the aftershocks were blocked by space, failing to touch the hem of Shisui's clothes.
Shisui sensed the state of the vengeful spirit, he couldn't help but sigh.
It's a pity that the Sea Demon Species's cultivation level was too low before it died.
Even if you absorb all the resentment here, crossing the threshold of the Heaven Realm is your limit.
To continue to advance, one must have more negative energy.
Moreover, judging from the fact that the vengeful spirit is currently absorbing a large amount of negative emotions, it is probably finding it difficult to maintain its rationality.
In this irrational state, his desire for revenge against the Dragon Spirit Species makes failure almost inevitable.
Now, the only variable is the remaining group of Death Herald stationed there.
Seeing that they were all frozen in place without moving, Shisui decided to give them a push.
Originally, Shisui's plan was to use distant energy fluctuations to interfere with the Dragon King Clone.
The hope is that this method will create a flaw in the Dragon King Clone's body, which is maintained by magma and Psychic Energy.
This way he can capture it completely in one fell swoop.
But now, Shisui has changed his mind.
Once you reach the Heaven Realm, the energy required for the First Realm advancement increases exponentially.
He wanted more flesh and blood than a clone with only the strength of the Seventh Realm of the Heaven Realm.
If this Wraith Species can absorb more energy, it can further enhance its own strength.
If it were released, it would likely cause a horrific massacre of the Sea Race.
Rivers of blood and fields strewn with corpses—that's what Shisui wanted to see.
With this in mind, Shisui formed a plan.
The Psychic Energy within him erupted completely at this moment, and the heavy Psychic Energy pressure instantly locked onto the Dragon King Clone.
"Boom!"
With a powerful strike, Bikaku dispersed the incoming magma, and then, without pausing, continued to strike at the Dragon King Clone.
Upon seeing this, the Dragon King Clone instinctively coiled its body around itself and retreated slightly to dissipate the force.
The enemy's sudden surge in combat power, the chaotic Psychic Energy in the environment caused by real battle, and the magma surrounding you.
All of this prevented the Dragon King Clone from paying attention to its surroundings.
Therefore, they didn't realize at first that they were being guided by the Shisui attack, slowly moving closer to that Wraith Species.
The ever-approaching aura of the enemy further agitated the already sensitive emotions of the vengeful spirit.
Intense, targeted hatred spread outwards, and dark Psychic Energy leaked out.
The intense fluctuations of Psychic Energy were stopped silently by the Radiant Feathers, who had arrived not far from the vengeful spirits and the Death Herald.
The spatial barrier blocked the overflow of Psychic Energy fluctuations, temporarily concealing the fact that the vengeful spirit was still growing stronger.
These Psychic Energy touched the stunned, Death Herald.
Immediately afterwards, the Death Herald finally moved.
He followed the direction of the black Psychic Energy forward, like a moth drawn to a flame, crashing into the black soul.
The Death Herald is born from the accumulated Soul Energy of ordinary people who died unjustly and were powerless to resist.
Essentially, the spirits of those Death Herald are also vengeful spirits left behind by unawakened beings, like ants, and directed at awakened ones.
Therefore, he craved revenge more than any other creature.
It's not aimed at any specific target.
Instead, it is directed at all awakened beings and at this world that condones awakened beings killing each other and slaughtering civilians.
But it was precisely because of this that the Death Herald lingered in the place where a large number of deaths occurred, drawing energy, and did not act rashly.
The Death Herald possesses some of their own consciousness and judgment.
He knew very well that with his current strength, he was simply incapable of taking revenge.
He can only lie low for now, absorbing more negative energy to strengthen himself.
The title of "Death Herald" comes from his constant use of information gaps to "prophesy" and then harvest a portion of the Soul Energy of the deceased.
But now, hope has appeared.
Another vengeful spirit has been born.
He also yearns for revenge, but unlike the other man, he possesses greater potential, and his sanity is teetering on the brink of collapse.
Therefore, the Death Herald stepped forward.
He will become a part of the vengeful spirit's rationality, and together they will carry out their revenge.
