Eternal Night Fortress Deep down, the water surged with suppressed sobs.
The figure of Little Moyuan has long since disappeared into the darkness of the deep sea, but the atmosphere in the cave is more solemn than before. More than twenty Demon Whale were silently sorting out their pitiful belongings.
A few pieces of Deep-Sea Crystal that can store Soul Power, a few pieces of ancient scales with hidden runes, and some minerals and algae collected in the deep sea that can barely sustain life. Their movements are very light and slow, as if every movement is consuming their remaining strength.
Tieshan's huge body stood like a mountain near the entrance of the cave. One eye looked towards the direction Little Moyuan was leaving. Jiujiu did not move. The one on the forehead was formed after integrating "Abyssal Ripple Pearl" and "Guiding Fragment" Although the dark traces have completely faded away, Tieshan can still feel an extremely weak Soul Power wave belonging to Little Moyuan that is quickly moving away, heading towards the heart-stopping Heavenly Tribulation residual area in the west.
"That breath... is indeed Master." Tieshan's deep voice echoed slowly in the cave, with an almost dreamlike confusion and pain, "But Master fell, we saw it with our own eyes. Elder Moyuan... He turned back to look at us one last time, and then... stopped all the pursuers with self-destruction."
The air in the cave seemed to have solidified. All Demon Whale's movements stopped, and the huge pupils reflected the unforgettable nightmare three years ago - the golden and black storm of destruction, Elder Moyuan's final decisive look, and after that, the dead silence where Master's breath completely dissipated.
"Could it be..." In the corner, among the three silent survivors, the leading male whale spoke for the first time, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing against Rock, "Could it be that Soul Beast... swallowed up Master's... remaining... power?"
This guess made all Demon Whale feel a chill rising from their spinal cords. Devouring the remaining power of Master? What is the concept? Can Master's ability to corrode everything be swallowed? What kind of Soul Beast can, after devouring that kind of power, not only not die, but attract such a terrifying Heavenly Tribulation?
"I don't know." Tieshan shook his head slowly, with bottomless worry in his eyes, "But no matter what it is, that thing is by no means simple. It can attract that kind of Heavenly Tribulation, and it can survive under that Heavenly Tribulation... Its threat is probably no weaker than Master, or even..."
He didn't say anything further, but all Demon Whale knew it - it might even be stronger and more dangerous.
"Mo Yuan..." The 80,000-year-old Demon Whale, the old subordinate who first responded to the call, said with worry in his voice, "It's too dangerous for him to go alone. If he bumps into Sea God Island's patrol..."
"He will be careful." Tieshan said in a deep voice, but there was not much confidence in his voice. "Abyssal Ripple Pearl can hide his aura to the greatest extent, and the fragments can also interfere with tracking in times of crisis. And... after all, he is already Hundred-Thousand-Year."
Although Hundred-Thousand-Year was obtained in exchange for overdraft potential, it is Hundred-Thousand-Year after all. In the deep sea, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is already the top predator. As long as Sacred Pillar Douluo does not come in person, he should be able to protect himself.
"I hope so." Demon Whale on the other end whispered, with a lingering shadow in his eyes, "I hope he... is lucky enough and nothing happens to him."
This sentence expresses the feelings of all Demon Whale. Little Moyuan is not only a Hundred-Thousand-Year with fighting power, but also a Core Flame who carries the hope of revenge for all survivors. Nothing can happen to him.
"Okay." Tieshan took a deep breath, his huge chest rose and fell, causing the water to surge, "Hurry up and clean up. We must get to 'Nest No. 2' before dawn. That Heavenly Tribulation movement is too big, Sea God Island will not remain indifferent, their search will soon intensify, and we can't stay here any longer."
"Yes!"
The Demon Whale people started moving again, but the atmosphere was still heavy. Every time the water surged and every Rock sound made them raise their heads vigilantly, their huge eyes swept towards the entrance of the cave, as if the golden holy light would tear through the darkness at any time and completely Purification this place.
At the same time, the deep sea, the western sea.
The silver-gray water transformed into Little Moyuan moves silently through the dark sea water. The power of Abyssal Ripple Pearl perfectly integrates him with the surrounding environment, and even the tiniest Soul Power fluctuations are restrained to the extreme.
Like a true deep-sea undercurrent, he quickly moves in the direction sensed along the ravines of the seabed, the shadows of rock peaks, and areas of absolute darkness that even light cannot reach.
The "Guiding Fragment" was slightly warm in the forehead and heart, conveying a vague but clear guidance. It felt very strange, not like a specific location coordinate, but more like a... resonance. A weak induction of some kind of homologous existence.
The closer you get, the clearer the resonance becomes, but at the same time, another unsettling feeling emerges - chaos. Violent energy turbulence, the remaining power of Heavenly Tribulation, and a... breath of anxiety and death. That sea area has just experienced a devastating baptism.
Little Moyuan A trace of solemnity flashed in the depths of his ice blue eyes. He slowed down even more and shrunk his body even smaller, almost turning into a faint line of water, clinging to the deepest and darkest crack on the seabed, and slowly groping forward.
Suddenly, his body stagnated and he suddenly retreated deep into a rock crevice.
Ahead, several powerful auras are approaching quickly from different directions! The auras are upright and majestic, carrying Sea God Island's unique, nauseating "holy" pressure!
It's the patrol team of Sea God Island! And there's more than one team!
Little Moyuan held all his breath and completely hid himself under the shadow of the rock crevice and the cover of Abyssal Ripple Pearl. His ice-blue eyes stared straight ahead through the turbid sea water.
The first person to appear was a team of twelve Sacred Pillar Knight. They were wearing uniform dark blue armor, with the Sea God Trident emblem engraved on their chests. Their lowest cultivation level was Soul Saint. The leader was He is a Soul Douluo level captain. They move quickly and orderly, spreading out in a fan shape, holding detectors that emit light blue light in their hands, carefully scanning every inch of sea water and every piece of Rock around them.
"Captain, the energy residue in front is extremely strong, but the central area seems... to be blocked by some kind of force, and the detector cannot penetrate deep." A knight reported.
"Continue to expand the search scope and pay attention to any suspicious traces, especially the residue of energy." Captain Soul Douluo said solemnly, and his voice spread throughout the team through Soul Power, "There is an order from above that any abnormalities in this sea area must be thoroughly investigated!"
"Yes!"
Sacred Pillar Knight continued to move forward, getting closer and closer to the rock crevice where Little Moyuan was hiding. Little Moyuan's heart almost stopped beating. He concentrated his breath to the extreme, and even Soul Power's movement almost stopped. His whole person seemed to have turned into a lifeless piece of Rock.
The detector's light blue light swept across the rock crevice, paused slightly, but did not stop for too long and continued to sweep forward. Abyssal Ripple Pearl's concealment ability, coupled with Little Moyuan's own extreme concentration of breath, successfully deceived the detection.
Just when Little Moyuan just breathed a sigh of relief, another stronger and more heart-stopping breath came rushing from diagonally above!
It was a faint blue figure, moving very fast. Wherever it passed, the seawater parted silently, leaving a straight water mark. The figure stopped near the Sacred Pillar Knight team, revealing a man with a soft and handsome face, blue fingers, and sharp eyes like an eagle.
Sea Spear Douluo!
Little Moyuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and the ice-blue eyes instantly surged with overwhelming hatred and... a trace of instinctive fear. It was him! Three years ago, it was this man who used that damn golden arrow to give "Master" the final blow! It was also him who then ordered a ruthless pursuit of the fleeing tribesmen!
"Sir!" Captain Soul Douluo quickly led the team in salute.
Sea Spear Douluo just nodded slightly, his blue eyes swept over the surrounding sea, and his brows furrowed slightly. "How?"
"Back to you, Sir, we found strong energy residue, suspected to be the center of Heavenly Tribulation, but the central area is blocked by unknown forces and the detector cannot penetrate deep. No other abnormalities have been found so far." The captain reported respectfully.
Sea Spear Douluo's fingertips were caressing unconsciously, and the faint blue nails flashed with a dangerous light. "Blockade? Is it man-made, or... is it a method left by that thing on its own?"
His eyes were like lightning, and he scanned the surroundings again. The sight seemed to be able to block the barrier between Penetration sea water and Rock. Little Moyuan felt an invisible pressure coming over him, which was Titled Douluo's terrifying coercion and mental probing! He gritted his teeth and suppressed all the hatred and fear in the deepest part of his heart. Even his thoughts seemed to freeze, leaving only a cold blank.
Abyssal Ripple Pearl was slightly hot, and a soft and tough force spread out, quietly dispelling the invisible probe. The fragments also vibrated gently in the forehead, emitting an extremely weak wave that imitated the surrounding sea currents and Rock, perfectly covering up the existence of Little Moyuan.
Sea Spear Douluo's gaze stayed in the direction of the rock crevice for a moment, as if he noticed something, but in the end, the power of exploration slowly moved away.
"Continue to search, expand the scope, and focus on looking for traces of Soul Beast activities, especially large Soul Beast, or traces with cold, corrosive, or death attributes." Sea Spear Douluo ordered coldly, "Also, pay attention to whether there are snoopers from other forces. That Heavenly Tribulation is not just something we noticed."
"Yes!" Sacred Pillar Knight followed the order and spread out even further.
Sea Spear Douluo stayed for a moment, as if sensing something, and then the figure flickered, turning into a faint blue water line, shooting towards the center of the Heavenly Tribulation wave, at an astonishing speed.
It wasn't until Sea Spear Douluo's figure completely disappeared, and Sacred Pillar Knight's people also searched farther away, that Little Moyuan dared to slowly exhale an almost stagnant breath. In his ice-blue eyes, fear was intertwined with cold murderous intent.
What a risk! Just a close call! If it weren't for Abyssal Ripple Pearl and the fragments, he would have been discovered just now! In front of Sea Spear Douluo, even if he had Hundred-Thousand-Year cultivation, there would be no chance of his survival!
This is the power of Sea God Island... this is the enemy they must face...
Little Moyuan suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart, and after reconfirming that the surroundings were safe, he carefully drilled out of the rock crevice. He did not dare to proceed along the original route, but chose a more hidden and circuitous path, bypassing Sacred Pillar Knight's search range and avoiding the direction of Sea Spear Douluo's direction.
The direction pointed by the debris shifted slightly, pointing to the side of the central area of Heavenly Tribulation. The energy flow seemed to be more violent there, but it also meant that it might be noticed by fewer people from Sea God Island.
A trace of determination flashed in Little Moyuan's ice-blue eyes. He had to see and confirm what it was that moved Heavenly Tribulation.
He transformed into a dim stream of water again, diving silently towards the new direction pointed by the fragments.
Behind him, in the direction of Eternal Night Fortress, Tieshan is leading the last twenty or so Demon Whale, migrating silently in the dark deep sea towards the more distant and unknown "Nest No. 2".
Hope, does it really exist?
