The boundless sea appears azure and deep.

Every night, the lightless ocean is like an abyss that threatens to swallow everything, inspiring fear.

Although for the strong, going to sea is generally not very dangerous.

However, even with the Super Douluo Du Busi leading the team, along with the support of five Titled Douluo, the journey was not exactly smooth.

The group did not travel by ship, as ships would only slow down their movement for a group of Title Holder whose Soul Power was all above Level 90.

As for supplies along the way, apart from the edible Sea Soul Beast in the ocean, each Titled Douluo carried enough supplies in their Storage Soul Tool.

Moreover, the islands encountered along the way can replenish the missing supplies, since for the Body Sect, going out to sea to hunt Soul Beast has long been their daily routine for thousands of years.

The abundant resources hidden in the Haiyang are enough to support the stable development of such a secluded sect.

That's why the Body Sect and others came up with a set of action guidelines on how to Soul Hunting at sea.

On the vast ocean, the powerful members of the Body Sect were gathered with Huo Yuhao on a raft drifting on the Haiyang.

Huo Yuhao was currently responsible for maintaining the stability of the raft using his Soul Power, while the other Titled Douluo were meditating and restoring their Soul Power.

Nowadays, only Super Douluo are qualified to condense Soul Core. As the exclusive domain of Super Douluo, the Soul Master World knows very little about Soul Core.

This also means that due to a lack of understanding of Soul Core, very few Titled Douluo are able to condense them during their breakthrough.

The scarcity of Soul Core owners means that most people don't understand how to condense Soul Core, so even Titled Douluo cannot maintain a full Soul Power at all times.

After each exploration of the deep sea, even if they did not find a target Soul Beast for Huo Yuhao, the Titled Douluo of the Body Sect would need to take a short rest to recover their Soul Power.

Unfortunately, in the vast ocean, searching for a suitable Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is like looking for a needle in a haystack without the cooperation of many powerful individuals.

"Damn it, wasn't there a message saying that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had been spotted here? Where did it go?" Du Busi cursed.

Another Titled Douluo said with a helpless expression, "Sect Master, this happened three years ago. The changes of Soul Beast in the Haiyang are determined by ocean currents, and are not as fixed as those of Soul Beast on land."

"Previously, it was only said that the traces of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast were suspected. Even if it is true, so many years have passed, and it is uncertain when it will return."

Du Busi was naturally aware of this situation as well. However, along their journey, based on the intelligence gathered by the disciples and followers of the Body Sect during their previous sea explorations, they searched for several sea areas that might be inhabited by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

However, without exception, they all came up empty-handed, even though most of the information they had was about Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast spirit beasts that were unrelated to Soul Beast with 100,000-Year Spiritual Attribute.

However, besides Soul Hunting rings for Huo Yuhao, if they could also hunt one or two more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the resources contained within them would be enough for the Body Sect to cultivate a few more powerful individuals.

"Alright, now that we've recovered enough, let's move on to another spot. Damn, there's probably nothing left in the shallow waters now; we'll have to go deeper," Du Busi said, frowning.

The sea area they are currently in is not far from the Douluo Continent. Apart from the coastal area, the deepest part of the sea in this near-shore area is only five or six thousand meters deep, and most of the Sea Soul Beast living there have a cultivation level of only thirty or forty thousand.

Moreover, with the rapid development of Soul Tool in recent years, the competition for resources among humans on the continent has become increasingly fierce. As a result, human forces are now gradually beginning to explore the Haiyang.

Perhaps this is why human exploration has led to significant changes in the ecosystem of Sea Soul Beast, or perhaps it is due to other reasons that there has been no progress to date.

However, since he personally went out to fight Du Busi this time, there was no reason for him to return empty-handed!

After everyone had rested enough, Huo Yuhao used his Soul Power to dismantle the raft floating on the sea and store it in his Storage Soul Tool.

With one hand holding Huo Yuhao, Du Busi led the group and continued flying deeper into the Haiyang.

Neither the storms, the attacks from Sea Soul Beast, nor those ignorant Soul Master pirate groups could pose any obstacle to the powerful Body Sect group.

After drifting for another month, Du Busi led Huo Yuhao and the others to a deserted island in the middle of the Haiyang.

"Let's rest here for a while." It was already late when the group arrived at the island.

The island is not very large, and the Spiritual Power of the Super Douluo Du Busi more than enough to cover it.

After scanning the island several times with his Spiritual Power, Du Busi said, "This island isn't dangerous. It doesn't seem to have any Soul Beast that are over a hundred years old."

"Let's set up camp first, and when it's light tomorrow, we'll set off along this island and continue exploring into the deep sea. I refuse to believe that we won't find a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. Huo Yuhao, along with Du Busi, quickly set up a campsite for rest using the supplies stored in their Storage Soul Tool.

The members of the Body Sect are all Titled Douluo, and even though they have been living in the open these past few days, their spirit and physical strength have remained intact.

Even Huo Yuhao, whose cultivation level was relatively low, had a good physique due to various opportunities. Although it was called a rest, in reality, everyone took turns to regulate their breathing for about half an hour.

The main reason was that everyone wanted to wait until the sky brightened and the sun rose before they could begin their exploration.

After all, the danger of the Haiyang at night is vastly different from that during the day. In addition to the nocturnal Sea Soul Beast that begin to roam, some spirit Beast Clan that originally only lived in the deep sea will also surface at night.

Although they pose no threat to the sea creatures, searching at night when Sea Soul Beast are most active is still much more troublesome.

After all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast isn't that stupid. If it were disturbed by the momentum of the battle between the Titled Douluo and the Sea Soul Beast, and if it found that the Body Sect had a large number of people, it would most likely have already fled.

During his cultivation, Huo Yuhao, who had not suffered much loss during his explorations along the way, was adjusting the course of his Destiny through the Eye of Truth.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is extraordinary, unlike the 100,000-Year Evil Eye Tyrant, which was destined to be Huo Yuhao's Soul Ring in the original work.

As Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its ability to grow to such a level indicates that its origin, bloodline, and fortune are all extraordinary. Therefore, hunting it down would not be easy.

However, the Power of Fortune of Huo Yuhao and his group is even greater. With Huo Yuhao 'Huo Yuhao continuous adjustments over the past few days, he has begun to sense that they will likely reap some rewards in the next few days.

The next day, as dawn broke, the group resumed their search for the 100,000-Year Sea Soul Beast.

Under the blazing Lie Yang, the coastal area is shrouded in rising water vapor and swirling mist, creating a unique and picturesque scene.

Several Titled Douluo dived again, but even after reaching a depth of 8,000 meters, they still failed to succeed. However, Huo Yuhao suddenly spoke up and said, "Master, there seems to be something wrong with this mist."

Du Busi sneered, "Hmph, it seems this beast has his eye on us. But he's just unlucky to have run into our line of fire."

"You guys protect Yuhao, this beast is mine!"

In a Du Busi, a giant figure, tens of meters tall and entirely dark green, appeared on the sea.

At the same time, several Titled Douluo quickly took action and cooperated closely. These Titled Douluo were all veteran powerhouses.

Their tacit understanding was honed over decades. As the light and shadow shifted, they used various methods to protect Huo Yuhao.

"Hmph, still trying to hide like a coward and not come out? Then don't come out at all!" Du Busi roared, and a dark green light illuminated the sky and sea, turning the surrounding environment into one color.

However, his methods did not stop there. Since Huo Yuhao was still nearby, in order to ensure that this attack would be foolproof, Du Busi not hold back and directly used his own natal poison.

As the poison spread along with its dark green Soul Power, large numbers of Sea Soul Beast in the surrounding sea died from the poison. At the same time, an area with a contrasting color to the dark green Soul Power that the Du Busi was also revealed.

It turned out that, without anyone knowing, a mist of water the same color as the sea and sky, which contained a huge amount of Soul Power, drifted to a location not far from Huo Yuhao and the others.

"Hahaha, very good, very good, it came so easily! No wonder it was delivered right to my door. I only realized it was a Mirage Dragon then. This is perfect as Yuhao's Sixth Soul Ring!"

Du Busi's laughter was like thunder, and his Soul Ring kept flashing. Under the multiple pressures of his innate poison, Soul Power, Soul Skill, and combat skills, the mist became increasingly thin.

Amidst the clouds and mist, the shadowy silhouette of a dragon gradually appeared and rose.

Unlike the Dragon Clan they were searching for, this dragon shadow had a streamlined shape and no wings. Only the occasional dragon roars and the faint Dragon's Might might revealed its identity as a close relative of the Dragon Clan.

As its domain was compressed to less than ten meters by the Soul Power of the Du Busi, the Mirage Dragon roared angrily, seemingly ready to fight the Du Busi the death.

However, Du Busi struck first. His dark green Soul Power, tinged with golden light, clung to his fist as he unleashed a Du Busi.

All that Du Busi had done before was to lull the Mirage Dragon into a false sense of security, making it misjudge Du Busi's strength and mistakenly believe that it still had a fighting chance. That's why it didn't try to escape.

As Du Busi unleashed his punch, the water mist that had been barely resisting Du Busi 'Innate Poison was instantly overwhelmed by Du Busi's deadly poison.

As the mist dissipated, a giant seashell, roughly the same size as the one that Du Busi was in at that moment, floated in mid-air.

The seashell is dotted with stars, as beautiful as a starry sky, while also subtly containing immense power, as if it could unleash a terrifying and ferocious aura at any moment.

The dragon shadow that had been shrouded in mist was merely the light emanating from a large, bright pearl in its mouth.

As the clouds and mist dissipated, the light emitted by the giant pearl gradually dimmed. The light kept changing shape, but it was constantly compressed by the surrounding dark green Soul Power. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape the control of Du Busi.

Du Busi didn't focus on the seemingly extraordinary shell, but instead concentrated all its attention on controlling the enormous pearl, which was the true form of the Mirage Dragon. It wasn't a dragon, but a shellfish, and although it carried Dragon Clan blood, it wasn't much of it.

In order to purify its bloodline and maximize its abilities as Dragon Clan, the Mirage Dragon will condense its Dragon Clan bloodline after ten thousand years of cultivation.

It condenses into a dragon ball, and as time goes by, the dragon ball's effects will become more and more powerful. When it successfully breaks through 100,000-Year of cultivation, the dragon ball bloodline contained within it will be incomparably pure.

It is by no means inferior to True Dragon species such as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and only after cultivating for 100,000-Year can it be qualified to be called Mirage Dragon.

Moreover, after this transformation, its original shellfish body is no longer its true body. This Dragon Ball and the Soul Crystal of the Evil Eye Tyrant are quite similar.

However, compared to the Soul Crystal, which can only store soul and Spiritual Power, the dragon pearl of the Mirage Dragon not only serves as a carrier of soul and spirit, but also condenses all of its bloodline essence and its life's cultivation.

"Hmph, if this Mirage Dragon had nearly 200,000 years of cultivation, it would be difficult for me to subdue it so easily. However, this Mirage Dragon has probably just broken through the 100,000-Year level and should still be injured."

With a wave of his hand, Du Busi saw the Mirage Dragon's Dragon Pearl fall into his grasp. As expected, there was a faint crack within it, from which flickered barely perceptible lightning.

The enormous seashell had lost all its luster and sank into the deep sea. As it continued to sink, its shape gradually dissipated and could no longer be maintained.

"Turning reality into illusion and illusion into reality, the Mirage Dragon truly lives up to its name. However, if you can absorb it, as a legendary dragon species, its Soul Ring and Soul Bone will surely provide you with many benefits, Yuhao."

Du Busi's figure gradually shrank, then stepped on the waves and returned to Huo Yuhao's side, who was being protected by five Titled Douluo.
