Ren Xiaoyao finally escaped the pursuit of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie and hid behind a huge coral reef surrounded by layers of seaweed.
This coral reef is like a refuge gifted by nature, protecting him from the dangers of the outside world.
At this time, he collapsed on the sandy ground on the seabed, with blood oozing from wounds of varying depths on his body, dyeing the surrounding seawater a strange red.
Every wound was like a sharp blade, constantly stinging his nerves, but he endured it, gritting his teeth, and his face was slightly distorted by pain.
He clearly knew that the top priority was to regain his strength, otherwise once Sea Marquis and Ao Lie chased him, he would have no choice but to die.
Ren Xiaoyao concentrated on trying to use the weak spiritual power in his body to repair Damaged Meridians and the wounds.
However, the spiritual power was like a trickle on a dry river bed, flowing through the meridians with difficulty. Every movement of the spiritual power made him feel extremely strenuous. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face was full of pain.
Looking back on this battle, this was the worst defeat he had ever experienced. If he had just faced Ao Lie, with his strength and combat experience, he would have been able to handle it, but the mysterious Sea Marquis was far more powerful than him. Even though he had no intention of fighting, he still ended up seriously injured.
"Sea Marquis is too powerful. If I don't find a way to improve my strength as soon as possible, I won't be able to deal with him at all, let alone get Spirit Stone Mine Vein."
Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself, a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes.
But he quickly adjusted his mentality. He understood that in this dangerous seabed, it was useless to blame others. The only way to survive was to make yourself stronger.
During the break of healing, Ren Xiaoyao carefully released Divine Sense, spying on the surrounding sea like a keen hunter searching for prey.
Divine Sense is like an invisible tentacle, extending in the darkness of the sea floor, not sparing any corner.
Under his Divine Sense perception, the world under the sea presents a mysterious and dangerous atmosphere.
Those seabed creatures of various shapes hid vigilantly when his Divine Sense swept over them.
Huge reefs and trenches with surging undercurrents seem to hide countless unknown dangers.
Suddenly, he felt the familiar and powerful aura of Ao Lie and Sea Marquis.
After careful investigation, he found that they were hiding in the deep Sea Valley not far away, like lurking wild beasts, waiting for him to fall into his trap.
Ao Lie's huge body was coiled next to the reef. Although the wounds on his body had been treated, the traces left by the battle were still clearly visible. Those blood-red eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent, staring at the entrance of Sea Valley.
Sea Marquis was wearing a dark blue robe, standing quietly aside with a stern face and impatience and arrogance in his eyes, as if the entire underwater world was under his control.
"Sure enough, you set up an ambush here, you think you can trap me? I, Ren Xiaoyao, will not be fooled so easily."
Ren Xiaoyao snorted in his heart and did not act rashly.
He knew that in his current state, he was unable to compete with them head-on and had to find another way.
So, he continued to use Divine Sense to explore the sea area in more detail.
Just when he was about to give up on his new discovery, a powerful and mysterious aura came from the depths of the ocean floor, like a dazzling light, which instantly attracted his attention.
Following this breath, his Divine Sense came to a deep underwater canyon.
At the bottom of the deep canyon, a Sea Calming Divine Rod stands proudly like a towering tree.
It is like an unshakable mountain, with a strange and dazzling light all over it. Sometimes the light is like colorful neon lights, and sometimes it is like bright stars.
Looking carefully, this Sea Calming Divine Rod stick is densely engraved with mysterious runes.
These runes are like smart snakes, winding around the stick. Each symbol exudes an ancient and powerful atmosphere, as if they carry endless vicissitudes of time and the most primitive power in the universe.
When the eyes touch these runes, people can't help but have the illusion that they can hear whispers from ancient times. Those voices are slowly telling a glorious history that has been buried for a long time and has been gradually forgotten by the world.
What shocked him even more was that underneath the magic stick was suppressing a Demon Dragon that exuded Evil Aura.
Demon Dragon has a huge body, with black scales shining with a cold sheen, like hard armor, bound by a Dao God mysterious chain. Its eyes are closed and its breath is weak, but Ren Xiaoyao can still feel the powerful and evil power contained in its body.
The breath of Demon Dragon was mixed with a kind of unwillingness and anger, as if it was announcing its existence to the whole world.
Ren Xiaoyao approached the magic stick, full of doubts and vigilance.
Every movement he made was cautious, as if the slightest carelessness would trigger some kind of terrible mechanism.
The surrounding seawater seemed to feel his tension, undulating gently and making a faint sound.
At this moment, Demon Dragon seemed to notice his arrival and slowly opened his eyes. Those huge eyes revealed deep resentment, unwillingness, and a hint of subtle cunning.
"Human, who are you? Why are you here?"
Demon Dragon's voice sounded in Ren Xiaoyao's mind, full of majesty and doubt, as if he was examining this uninvited guest.
Ren Xiaoyao bowed his hands respectfully. Although this action seemed a bit strange in the water, his attitude was very sincere.
"Senior, my name is Ren Changsheng. I was avoiding the pursuit of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie at the bottom of the sea and accidentally discovered this place. Why was senior suppressed here?"
His voice was calm and firm, without the slightest hint of fear.
Demon Dragon was silent for a moment, as if recalling the painful past, a trace of pain and anger flashed in its eyes. Then, it slowly said, "I was the overlord of this underwater world. Because I was unwilling to be ruled by Human Emperor, I rose up to resist., and was eventually suppressed here by that Human Emperor using Sea Calming Divine Rod. Now countless years have passed, and Human Emperor also ordered Sea Marquis to guard me so that I will never be able to escape."
Demon Dragon's voice was full of helplessness and longing, as if he was telling Ren Xiaoyao its long painful experience.
Ren Xiaoyao thought about his current predicament, and asked if Demon Dragon could be rescued, could it help him fight against Sea Marquis and Ao Lie.
"Senior, I am now facing the pursuit of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie. They have set a trap to kill me. If I can rescue you, can you help me?"
There was a trace of expectation in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes. He knew that this might be an opportunity for him to change the situation.
Demon Dragon had a cunning light flashing in his eyes, thinking secretly in his heart.
Although this human being is weak, he is also Martial God Realm, and now he is his only hope to regain his freedom.
When he regains his freedom, he will devour this human being to replenish his lost strength after being trapped for many years, and then use Sea Calming Divine Rod to dominate the bottom of the sea and even the entire world.
But on the surface, it pretended to be sincere and said, "If you can rescue me, I will not only help you deal with them, but also take you to explore more secrets of this underwater world. There are countless treasures and the lost Cultivation Method hidden deep in the seabed. As long as you get one of them, your strength will grow by leaps and bounds."
Demon Dragon's voice is full of temptation, trying to get Ren Xiaoyao to take the bait.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved. He was naturally eager to improve his strength and was also curious about the secrets of the seabed. However, he still maintained a trace of sobriety and spoke calmly.
"I appreciate the kindness of my senior, but I know better that there is no free lunch in this world. Senior must be so generous, so he must have his own purpose."
Demon Dragon let out a deep laugh, which echoed in Ren Xiaoyao's mind.
"Haha, you are a smart human being. Yes, I naturally have my own purpose. I have been trapped here for many years, and I have long been disgusted with this small space. I long for freedom and want to gallop in this vast underwater world again. And you are my hope of regaining freedom. As long as you help me unlock this damn seal, we can each get what we need, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
As Demon Dragon said this, he was secretly proud in his heart, feeling that Ren Xiaoyao was about to take the bait.
Ren Xiaoyao turned around and looked directly into Demon Dragon's huge eyes with a firm expression.
"Senior, I am cooperating with you to fight against Sea Marquis and Ao Lie and gain a chance of survival. But I also hope that senior can keep his promise and not have any other evil thoughts. Otherwise, even if I am not as strong as you, I will try my best to let you know that I am not someone easy to bully."
Ren Xiaoyao has a tough attitude on the surface, but in his heart he is also thinking about how he should deal with it if Demon Dragon really has evil intentions. At the same time, he is also thinking that he may be able to find a way to control Demon Dragon during the cooperation process, and even use the power of Demon Dragon to make himself stronger and completely get rid of the threats of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie.
Demon Dragon had a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up and his tone was still seductive.
"Don't worry, as long as you help me get out of trouble, I will not break my promise. Moreover, with my help, you will have a greater chance of getting those treasures and Cultivation Method. Think about it, with your current strength, if you go to explore those places alone, you may be buried under the sea before you find them."
Demon Dragon continues to try to seduce Ren Xiaoyao with benefits, and at the same time, he is planning in his heart to completely obliterate Ren Xiaoyao when it has no use value.
Ren Xiaoyao was silent for a moment. He knew what Demon Dragon said. Principles.
In his current situation, it is indeed very difficult to find treasures and Cultivation Method in this dangerous underwater world.
But he couldn't completely believe Demon Dragon. After all, this Demon Dragon exuded an aura of evil and danger. No one knew what it would do after it regained freedom.
"Okay, senior, I promise you. But during the cooperation, I hope senior can be honest with me and don't hide anything from me. I will also do my best to find the spiritual grass as soon as possible and unlock your seal."
Ren Xiaoyao finally decided to cooperate with Demon Dragon, but he secretly kept an eye on it. In the process of searching for the spiritual grass, he was going to look for some treasures or means that could check and balance Demon Dragon. At the same time, he was also thinking about the best way to unlock the seal, which would not only allow Demon Dragon to help him fight against the enemy, but also ensure his own safety.
"Haha, okay, I appreciate your decisiveness. Go ahead and come back as soon as possible. I'll wait for you here."
Demon Dragon said with satisfaction, his eyes shining with anticipation, as if he had seen the moment when he regained his freedom and dominated the seabed, but he didn't know that Ren Xiaoyao also had his own plan.
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, turned around and swam in the direction indicated by Demon Dragon.
His body swam in the water, and the surrounding seawater gently slapped his skin, as if to remind him of the danger ahead.
He secretly thought in his heart that this journey to find the spiritual grass must be full of dangers, and the cooperation with Demon Dragon was also full of Variables. He must stay vigilant at all times in order to survive in this complicated situation and achieve his goals. At the same time, he must be careful to deal with Demon Dragon's conspiracy and not let himself become a victim of Demon Dragon.
While swimming, Ren Xiaoyao recalled the battle with Sea Marquis and Ao Lie, and every detail flashed in his mind.
Sea Marquis's powerful and terrifying strength, and Ao Lie's crazy and hate-filled attacks, both left him with lingering fears.
But he also understood that it was these experiences that made him more determined to improve his strength.
As he continues deeper into the ocean floor, the surrounding environment becomes increasingly strange and dangerous.
Huge sea monsters are swimming in the distance, their bodies are as huge as mountains, and they exude powerful auras.
Ren Xiaoyao carefully avoids them for fear of attracting their attention.
The undercurrent at the bottom of the sea also became more turbulent, pushing his body to one side from time to time, and he had to spend more energy to maintain balance.
Finally, he came to the Dark Abyss that Demon Dragon said.
It was pitch dark here, and Ren Xiaoyao could only rely on Divine Sense to sense the surrounding environment.
There is a pungent smell permeating the abyss, which seems to be a symbol of some evil force.
He took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and then continued to swim forward.
In the abyss, he encountered various strange creatures and dangerous traps.
Some creatures exude poison, and will be enveloped in poisonous mist once they get close; some traps are hidden in the darkness, and you will fall into them if you are not careful.
Ren Xiaoyao relied on his own wisdom and experience to resolve these crises one by one.
Just when he almost gave up, he finally discovered the "Law Defying Spirit Grass" strain.
The spiritual grass exudes a soft light, like a beacon in the darkness.
Ren Xiaoyao felt happy and hurriedly swam over and carefully picked the spiritual grass.
However, the moment he picked the spiritual grass, the surrounding environment suddenly changed.
A powerful force came from the depths of the abyss, as if some kind of Guardian Spirits was angered.
Ren Xiaoyao was shocked. He knew that Demon Dragon must be hiding some key information from him. He must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise he would face greater danger.
He quickly turned around and swam in the direction he came from.
However, that powerful force followed him closely and continuously attacked him.
Ren Xiaoyao evaded the attack while speeding up his swimming speed.
His heart was filled with tension and fear, but he knew that he could not give up, otherwise all his efforts would be in vain.
Finally, with his efforts, he successfully got rid of that powerful force and returned to where Demon Dragon was.
Demon Dragon saw a glimmer of greed in his eyes when he saw the spiritual grass in his hand, but he quickly covered it up.
"Human, you really did not disappoint me. Now, please help me unlock this damn seal."
Demon Dragon's voice was full of urgency.
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, knowing that this was a key step in his cooperation with Demon Dragon.
He concentrated and integrated the power of the spiritual grass into his own spiritual power. At this time, the power of the spiritual grass blended into the stream like a clear spring, gradually merging with his spiritual power that was already weak but had recovered slightly after this period of time, forming a special spiritual power with a soft light.
He took a deep breath, resisted the discomfort caused by the previous running and fighting, and slowly and carefully injected this special spiritual power into the runes of Sea Calming Divine Rod.
With the injection of spiritual power, those ancient runes seemed to be awakened and began to shine with strange light.
At first, the light of the runes was relatively weak, flickering like a candle that was about to go out.
But with the continuous influx of spiritual power, the light gradually became brighter and more stable.
The mysterious lines on the runes seemed to have life, and began to flow slowly, and the power they exuded became more and more powerful.
Ren Xiaoyao can feel that the aura of Demon Dragon is becoming more and more powerful, as if it is about to break out of the seal.
Demon Dragon's huge body began to tremble slightly under the constraints of the seal, and the scales on its body shone with an even colder luster. It let out a low roar, and its voice was full of desire for freedom.
Demon Dragon's consciousness is also constantly impacting Ren Xiaoyao's Divine Sense, trying to urge him to speed up the speed of unlocking the seal.
However, just when the seal was about to be completely released, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly stopped.
He could clearly feel the increasingly powerful and oppressive aura of Demon Dragon, as well as the danger hidden within it.
He knew that he could not let Demon Dragon completely regain his freedom, otherwise he would not be able to control it.
"Human, why did you stop? Do you want to break our agreement?"
Demon Dragon's voice was full of anger and threats, and its huge eyes flashed with fierce light, staring straight at Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Senior, I just think that our cooperation needs further guarantees. I can't let you completely regain your freedom, otherwise I can't guarantee my own safety."
A trace of anger flashed in Demon Dragon's eyes, but it also knew that it couldn't completely fall out with Ren Xiaoyao yet. "Okay, human, what do you want to do?"
Ren Xiaoyao thought for a moment and said, "I will unlock part of the seal so that you can help me fight against Sea Marquis and Ao Lie. But after we succeed, you must promise me not to hurt me and abide by our agreement."
Demon Dragon was silent for a moment. It was struggling fiercely in its heart. On the one hand, the urge for freedom made it want to turn over and devour Ren Xiaoyao immediately. On the other hand, its reason told it that it still needed Ren Xiaoyao's help at this time.
In the end, the desire for freedom made it choose to compromise. "Okay, human, I promise you. But you'd better not play any tricks, otherwise I won't let you go."
Ren Xiaoyao nodded, and then injected spiritual power into the runes again.
This time, he carefully controlled the output of spiritual power and accurately acted on some runes. The light of the runes flickered again, but it was much weaker than before.
Demon Dragon's body moved slightly, and the chains on his body made a dull sound, but he was not completely freed.
Demon Dragon roared in dissatisfaction. Its body twisted in the restraints, and its black scales rubbed against each other, making a "rustling" sound, as if to vent its dissatisfaction.
But we can only accept this reality helplessly.
"Human, you'd better remember your promise. Now, it's time for us to deal with Sea Marquis and Ao Lie."
Demon Dragon's voice was full of impatience, and its eyes revealed its desire for freedom and its hatred for Sea Marquis and Ao Lie.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, knowing that a more intense battle was coming.
His collaboration with Demon Dragon was filled with Variables, but he had no other choice.
He must trust his own judgment and at the same time be careful about every move Demon Dragon makes.
They swam in the direction of Sea Marquis and Ao Lie, and the surrounding seawater fluctuated due to their actions.
Ren Xiaoyao's heart was filled with tension and expectation. His palms were slightly sweaty and his heart was beating violently in his chest.
He didn't know how this battle would develop, but he knew that this was his chance to change his destiny.
When they came to Sea Valley where Sea Marquis and Ao Lie were, Sea Marquis and Ao Lie seemed to have noticed their arrival.
A sneer appeared on Sea Marquis's face. He looked at Ren Xiaoyao and Demon Dragon with disdain in his eyes.
Sea Marquis raised his chin slightly and said in a contemptuous tone, "Boy, how dare you cooperate with this evil Demon Dragon. It seems that you really don't want to live anymore. Just the two of you want to challenge me? You are simply overestimating your capabilities!"
Ao Lie let out a low roar from the side, his body trembling slightly with anger, and his huge claws tightly grasped the rocks, leaving deep claw marks.
"Boy, today is the day you die! I'm going to make you pay for what you did before! And you Demon Dragon, back then you caused trouble for the bottom of the sea, and today I'm going to suppress you again!"
Ao Lie's voice was full of hatred and murderous intent, as if he wanted to eat Ren Xiaoyao and Demon Dragon alive.
Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said loudly, "Sea Marquis, Ao Lie, it's not certain who will win today! Don't think you can defeat me easily. Since I dare to stand here, I am determined to win!"
Demon Dragon also let out a roar, and black mist began to surround its body, with powerful evil power faintly revealed in the mist.
"Sea Marquis, you Human Emperor dog, you participated in suppressing me back then, I will settle this account with you today! And you stupid dragon, today I will let you know who is the overlord of this seabed!"
The voice of Demon Dragon echoed in Sea Valley, full of majesty and dominance.
The atmosphere in Sea Valley instantly became tense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
Ren Xiaoyao and Demon Dragon are ready for battle, and Sea Marquis and Ao Lie are also ready for battle.
The surrounding seawater became turbulent due to the strong aura, and huge whirlpools began to form in Sea Valley, as if foreshadowing the brutality of this battle.
