Drip! Drip! Drip!
After the Frost Gate opened and the strange merfolk climbed out, faint trickles of water kept dripping from its edges.
Like the merfolk, the drops turned to glittering crystal as they fell, then shattered on the ground.
Yet each drip held a strange power. Everyone who heard it felt their thoughts pulse in time.
"A Secret Realm Beyond the Mundane?"
In an instant, Tu Nan Zi's Incarnation blurred. He sensed an indescribable aura filled with tangled emotions: fear, hope, confusion, childlike adoration... Even he could not help being startled by their complexity.
What's going on with these emotions and thoughts? They're far more complex than incense and Green Smoke!
With that thought, he looked toward the so-called merfolk Humanity Path Dao Soldiers.
Threads of black followed his gaze and wound toward it.
But the merfolk jerked his head up, opened his mouth, and roared!
Hum!
The sound from his mouth was faint, almost inaudible to ordinary people. The cultivators, however, sensed the surging ripples hidden beneath that silence.
Sound waves surged, setting everything around them resonating!
The black threads disintegrated at once!
Even Tu Nan Zi's Incarnation showed signs of breaking apart under the fierce sound waves. He formed a Hand Seal and forcibly held it together.
Everyone present understood what that meant.
The agitation Tu Nan Zi's uncanny Divine Ability had stirred in them subsided.
The Qi-Observing True Person moved his arm and pointed ahead.
This time, he pointed at Tu Nan Zi's pitch-black Incarnation.
The azure merfolk cried out again. His upper body swelled, the scales on his body shifted gradually to indigo, and a faint primordial aura rose from him.
Then he opened his mouth, pouring out silent ripples as he lunged at the black Incarnation!
A thunderous rush of water answered from within
