In fact, Chen Ao and the others had not even left the Lihaishi clan's territory when they sensed powerful auras pressing down on them from all around.
The three King Ranks went pale.
"Could it be Venerable White Sea Stone?"
Compared with Venerable Gray Sea Stone, Venerable White Sea Stone was undoubtedly far stronger. A divine body twice as large gave White Sea Stone strength comparable to a High Venerable.
