Scaring Off a Million Demon Beasts
After the two sides had been fighting for about half an incense stick's time, a flash of light appeared in the teleportation hall at the core of the Wrathful Whale Marketplace. A middle-aged man with blue hair, wearing a Wood Origin Immortal Sect, exuding immense vitality and possessing an air of Celestial Bone Structure, appeared there.
He slowly stepped out of the teleportation hall, looked up at the "Fourth Rank Law Treasure Blood Spirit Giant Horn" that was entangled with the Azure Dragon Scissors array artifact of the Wrathful Whale Marketplace in the sky, and his eyes lit up.
"It really is that stinky fish's Lifebound Magic Treasure. I didn't expect that after not seeing this stinky fish for hundreds of years, its cultivation level has actually increased from the first level of the Nascent Soul to the peak of the third level of the Nascent Soul. However... it is still not enough for me."
"If I can kill it this time and obtain its Fourth Rank Law Treasure, the Blood Spirit Giant Horn, and integrate it into my Fourth Rank Middle Grade Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Wood Origin Blood Spirit Flying Sword, the power of my flying sword will definitely increase by about 30%."
Upon reaching this point, the blue-haired cultivator waved his robe, and a Fourth Rank magic weapon, a long blue rope shimmering with spiritual light, appeared in the void. It quickly grew to over three hundred feet in size and took flight, directly wrapping around the Fourth Rank Law Treasure Law Treasure, the Blood Spirit Giant Horn, which was entangled with the Azure Dragon Scissor, and firmly fixing it in place.
Furthermore, the long blue rope also has the effect of absorbing the Spiritual Qi of Law Treasure.
Before long, nearly 90% of the spiritual energy within the Fourth Rank Law Treasure, the Blood Spirit Giant Horn, was absorbed. The horn, which was 300 feet long, shrank to about 30 feet, making it no longer a threat to the market's light barrier.
The next moment, a tremendous whale roar echoed from the depths of the sea outside the market.
A blood-red whale, over three hundred feet in size, appeared in the sea. The whale roared again and unleashed its most powerful ninth transformation of its signature desperate Divine Ability, "Blood Spirit Nine Transformations."
A flash of blood-red light appeared around it, and its aura rapidly surged to the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. Its size also increased by more than 90%, reaching nearly 600 zhang.
Furthermore, this whale also summoned its other Fourth Rank Lifebound Magic Item, the "Blood Spirit Armor".
Then, the whale let out a long roar and forcefully slapped its massive tail against the water's surface.
The powerful thrust propelled its massive size forward.
In less than half a breath, it traversed several miles and crashed head-on into the azure light screen of the market. With its immense strength, it managed to create a huge crack in the light screen.
Immediately afterwards, seven more Golden Core stage Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale appeared from behind the deep sea, following the Nascent Soul Realm whale king, using their best physical strength to bombard the market's light barrier.
Under the bombardment of the eight forces, even the Fourth Rank Azure Wood Evolution Formation in the market was starting to falter.
The array's light barrier gradually swayed, and the flickering spiritual light on the barrier quickly dimmed.
Upon seeing this, the blue-haired cultivator's face darkened with anger.
"I, the True Lord, am here, yet you still dare to act presumptuously."
The blue-haired cultivator made another move, unleashing his Fourth Rank Lifebound Magic Treasure, the "Wood Origin Obliteration Mirror".
A massive green beam of light shot out from the Wood Origin Obliteration Mirror and slammed into the Nascent Soul Realm Demon Emperor.
The Nascent Soul Realm whale Demon Emperor managed to use its innate Divine Ability, "Wrathful Whale Blood Spirit Shroud," to erect a blood-red light shield.
But in just a moment, the blood-red light was shattered.
The next moment, the beam of Wood Origin annihilation directly struck the "Wrathful Whale Blood Spirit Armor" of the Angry Whale Demon Emperor, creating a huge gap in the armor. The remaining force of the beam of Wood Origin annihilation also pierced through the body of the Angry Whale Demon Emperor.
The Angry Whale Demon Emperor cried out in pain.
Before it could react, countless vines sprouted from the endless deep sea and quickly wrapped around the angry whale Demon Emperor.
The blue-haired cultivator also unleashed his only Fourth Rank Middle Grade attack Law Treasure, the "Wood Origin Blood Spirit Treasure Sword".
The sword suddenly unleashed a Sword-Ray five hundred feet long, its momentum like a rainbow, slashing towards the Angry Whale Demon Emperor.
Although the Angry Whale Demon Emperor managed to spit out its inner core in time to block the attack, a huge wound was blasted into its inner core as well.
Just as the green-haired cultivator was about to press his advantage and kill the angry whale Demon Emperor at the third level of the Nascent Soul, a dragon's roar came from the depths of the sea.
A six-hundred-foot-long dragon covered in blue scales slowly emerged from the sea.
The blue-haired cultivator stared intently at the giant dragon, which was six hundred feet long, and frowned.
Hundreds of years ago, when the Wrathful Whale Marketplace was first established, this male dragon, together with a female dragon in the Nascent Soul Initial Stage, planned to seize this territory in the Wrathful Whale Sea Region. However, the female dragon was killed by this blue-haired cultivator.
The male dragon that has appeared today was lucky enough to escape back then.
"I didn't expect that old guy Azure Dragon to come too. No wonder the Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale King, who has been hiding from me for hundreds of years, dared to attack my sect's Wrathful Whale Marketplace this time."
As his thoughts returned, the blue-haired cultivator, separated by dozens of miles, spoke domineeringly to the Azure Dragon.
"It's been centuries since we last met. If you also wish to become a ghost under my sword, then come forward."
The Azure Dragon's eyes narrowed, its hatred intensifying. However, after observing the pitiful state of the Nascent Soul Realm Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale, it could only roar helplessly, signaling the Nascent Soul Realm Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale to retreat.
The Wrathful Blood Spirit Whale Demon Emperor, at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage, was extremely unwilling. It still wanted to shatter the Wrathful Whale Marketplace, devour the more than 200,000 cultivators in the market, and then break through the bottleneck that had been stuck for decades to reach the fourth level of the Nascent Soul.
However, due to its own lack of strength, it had no choice but to order the sea Demon Beast to retreat.
The blue-haired "Nameless Nascent Soul expert" did not stop them, but simply watched the group of sea Demon Beast leaving outside the market.
Clearly, he was also wary of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage Azure Dragon outside the market; his words earlier were merely polite formalities.
In the short time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, the million Demon Beast outside the market all swam into the depths of the sea and disappeared.
The corpses of the Demon Race killed by the cultivators were also taken away.
The seawater that had reached over 80 zhang (approximately 40 meters) above the city wall of the market town quickly receded.
Everything returned to calm.
Only a group of dumbfounded cultivators remained, standing atop the North City Wall.
"That blue-haired cultivator who single-handedly repelled a million enemy troops should be the peerless sect master of the Wood Origin Immortal Sect, Wood Origin True Lord, as recorded in the manual issued by the Teleportation Hall of the Wrathful Whale Marketplace."
"Unexpectedly, in just a few hundred years, this True Lord's cultivation has actually reached the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage. I'm afraid that in a few hundred years, this Azure Wood True Lord will have the opportunity to surpass the Azure Origin True Lord of the Wood Origin Immortal Sect, who never leaves the mountain, and thus enter the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage."
Ling Pengyun gazed at the blue-haired cultivator soaring through the void, his eyes filled with admiration.
This "Wood Origin True Lord" is extremely famous throughout the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World.
Hundreds of years ago, during the battle in which the Wood Origin Immortal Sect occupied the Wrathful Whale Sea Region, this Wood Origin True Lord, who was only at the Nascent Soul Initial Stage of the Nascent Soul realm, single-handedly blocked two Nascent Soul realm Demon Emperor of the Nascent Soul Realm Wrathful Blood Spirit Sea Clan and killed one of them.
From then on, his fame spread throughout the Boundless Sea Region.
As a major sect of Nascent Soul Nascent Soul Realm, the Wood Origin Immortal Sect has as many as three True Lord at the Nascent Soul level. Currently, the highest-ranking True Monarch in the Wood Origin Immortal Sect, "Azure Origin True Lord," has reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Middle Stage stage.
It is said that this person is even stronger than Wood Origin True Lord.
Another Nascent Soul Realm True Lord, whose name is unknown, is said to have gone off to roam the world in carefree leisure.
At the same time, the Wood Origin True Lord, who was soaring through the void, sensed something and looked in the direction of Ling Pengyun. He met Ling Pengyun's gaze, then glanced at Ling Yunhong, a deep meaning appearing in his eyes.
However, the next moment, Wood Origin True Lord vanished without a trace.
Both Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong were recalling the meaningful look in Wood Origin True Lord's eyes.
"Both my Third Grandfather and I are here for the first time in this Boundless Sea Region. During our time stationed here, neither of us used our full strength. We are extremely inconspicuous among the more than 200,000 cultivators stationed in the Third Grandfather Wrathful Whale Marketplace."
"There are countless others whose battle achievements surpass those of the two of us."
"If I really had to point out one thing that distinguishes me from the other cultivators, it would probably be the Azure Sea True Scripture of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect that I and the Third Grandfather Third Grandfather."
"It seems... that Wood Origin True Lord has discovered this matter."
Ling Pengyun's eyes twitched, and he muttered to himself.
Ling Yunhong, who was standing to the side, naturally guessed this as well.
The two immediately communicated with each other, discussing how to minimize battles in the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World, so as to avoid their auras leaking out and attracting the attention of the enemy sect that killed the high-level combatants of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect back then.
Although Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong had been in this Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World for several months, they had never inquired about any information about the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect, so as not to appear strange.
After all, the Azure Sea Azure Sky Sect had disappeared into a secret realm two or three hundred years ago. It would be strange if inquiring about the Azure Sea Azure Sky Immortal Sect at this time didn't cause trouble.
As for the change in the aura of their Cultivation Method, Wood Origin True Lord noticed it but made no other move, leaving Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong unable to guess why.
Post-war.
Because none of the cultivators obtained the corpses of the Demon Beast in this battle, no one made any meritorious contributions.
Soon, the more than 100,000 cultivators on the North City Wall dispersed.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong stayed in the market for about half a month after the Beast Tide had just receded. Seeing that things were calm outside, they left Wrathful Sea Marketplace together.
Located on the edge of Wrathful Whale Marketplace Wrathful Whale Island, the two soon saw the vast and boundless sea beyond the island after leaving the Wrathful Whale Marketplace.
The sound of waves crashing against the shore could be heard from time to time.
Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong, who had never before left the market to properly observe the Boundless Sea Region, were both deeply shocked.
At the same time, they also felt the dense moisture in the air.
If they were to fight in this sea area, their strength could be increased by at least 10% to 20%.
"It is said that the Boundless Sea Region Cultivation World is a holy land for those who mainly cultivate water-attribute Cultivation Method, and that is indeed true."
Ling Pengyun said with a smile.
"Yes, I wonder what the Central Cultivation World world, the legendary origin of the Central Province Cultivation World, and the Northern Snow Cultivation World at the Far North are like."
After agreeing, Ling Yunhong's eyes revealed a hint of longing.
The Central Province Cultivation World and the Northern Snow Cultivation World are two other Cultivation World located near the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World.
The other two major Nascent Soul Immortal Sects within the Yuan Yang Country of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, the "Profound Yellow Immortal Sect" and the "Nether Snow Immortal Sect," are said to have originated from these two Cultivation World respectively.
Ling Pengyun, who was quite curious about the other Cultivation World, was naturally also quite curious about the Cultivation World of Central Province and Beixue.
His eyes lit up, and he made a suggestion with a smile.
"How about we explore those two Cultivation World a hundred years from now, after our Third Grandfather has passed away?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yunhong raised an eyebrow slightly.
He only has a lifespan of sixty years or so. If he wants to live another hundred years, he needs to break through to the Golden Core realm to increase his lifespan.
Then he understood what Ling Pengyun meant.
"It's a deal," Ling Yunhong laughed loudly.
The two gazed at the vast, endless sea before them before setting off.
Ling Pengyun waved his hand and patted the Beast Taming Pouch at his waist, taking out the Black Armored Turtle, Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.
Then, he and Ling Yunhong sat together on the turtle and went deep into the sea.
Although the Black Armored Turtle is not fast on the ground, its speed in water is faster than that of the Wind Shadow Peng, who is in the Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, and it can travel 100,000 miles a day without any problem.
Furthermore, the tortoise was used to travel in the depths of the sea, where it was relatively hidden.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong rode this tortoise for a full thirty days and traversed a distance of three million miles without encountering any trouble.
Along the way, they also encountered some powerful groups of Demon Beast.
However, since the two had no intention of causing trouble, they relied on the Black Armored Turtle's superb Aura Concealing Method and escaped.
As a member of the turtle family, the Black Armored Turtle's most powerful ability, however many, lies in its Aura Concealing Method.
When that Aura Concealing Method one's aura is used, even a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Completion stage would find it difficult to detect if they are not paying attention.
Unfortunately, this Aura Concealing Method is a divine Divine Ability inherited from the Black Armored Turtle, which is difficult for Ling Pengyun and Ling Yunhong to master.
