Then a powerful aura emerged.
Ye Han and Fairy Ningyu both felt a stir in their hearts. He's here!
Rumble... The ground trembled faintly as an enormous stone platform slowly rose from the earth in the distance...
At the center of the platform stood a figure wreathed in deep-blue flames of energy. He wore purplish-red armor and a golden crown, with a mouthful of fangs. Blue-purple scales covered his exposed skin, and fins protruded from the elbows and arms of his burly frame.
It was none other than the Black God Sea Demon Emperor!
Standing on the enormous stone platform, the Black God Sea Demon Emperor glanced around and spotted the vast Medicine Garden. Delight spread across his face. "A medicine garden?! My good fortune has arrived!"
As he spoke, he strode swiftly toward the Medicine Garden. When he reached the edge of the platform, however, he stopped short, a trace of wariness appearing in his dead-fish eyes. Something felt distinctly wrong about this place.
With that thought, the Black God Sea Demon Emperor reined in his greed. He muttered an incantation, demon aura and spell power surging out, then opened his mouth and spat.
Splash! A spray of water wreathed in demon aura and spell power surged forth. In midair, it coalesced into a water demon with a long, slender tail, a single eye, and fish scales covering his entire body, then descended toward the ground...
Splash! The water demon advanced cautiously toward the Medicine Garden...
Ye Han and Fairy Ningyu had naturally noticed the Black God Sea Demon Emperor's arrival, and both felt somewhat disappointed. The one they had been waiting for was not Sword Twenty-Nine, but a demon cultivator? One look at his appearance told them that this fellow was the legendary Black God Sea Demon Emperor.
