As though the surface of the water had been silently sliced open.
The moment you raised your eyes, a long-concealed presence emerged behind you.
Even with your current cultivation, you had sensed nothing. Only a Supreme Grandmaster concealing the workings of heaven could pull off such a deception.
A small seal spun into the air, descending like an overturned canopy; ahead, the Flood Dragon King breathed again, sending scorching waves into the sky.
In an instant, enemies pressed you from front and rear.
The change, swift as lightning, also stirred the undercurrents all around.
You recognized the figure lying in wait at a glance: Ao Xing, the East Sea's sixth prince.
"Chen Xuanzi, today you die."
Two cultivators who had survived the Second Nine Heavenly Tribulation had joined forces, armed with the sea-subduing treasure, the Sea-Flipping Seal.
At the sight, alarm flashed through Shi Jinghong's beautiful eyes.
The Flood Dragon King's plan was meticulous. He truly never let a grudge go unanswered.
Even if Sect Master Chen could withstand the attack, he might not escape unscathed. Once his body was destroyed and his Primordial Spirit forced Out-of-Body, his divine abilities would be greatly diminished. He would be in grave danger.
Anxious, Shi Jinghong immediately brought out Three Immortals Island's sect treasure, the Sea-Measuring Ruler.
She was determined to withstand the demon king's spell head-on if it meant lending you a hand.
The creature before her was a Spirit Abyss Jellyfish: flowing runes covered its enormous, transparent, umbrella-shaped body, from which countless crystals hung, glimmering with ghostly light.
The demon king's laughter echoed. "Jinghong True Person, where are you going?"
The runes swelled and ebbed like waves. The crystals suddenly extended into layer upon layer of bars, trapping Shi Jinghong inside.
Yue Yunqing of the Supreme Dharma Sect went deathly pale.
