The vast ocean is truly awe-inspiring.
Sea Soul Beast can be seen everywhere.
Sometimes schools of flying fish leap from the side of the boat, shimmering silver; sometimes a giant sea turtle slowly rises to the surface, with several seabirds basking in the sun on its shell; occasionally, you can see a whale spouting water in the distance, which spreads into a rainbow in the sunlight.
Most Sea Soul Beast ignored the large ship " Sea Star ".
They swim, eat, and sunbathe as they please; at most, they glance at each other curiously before sinking back into the water and disappearing from sight.
These gentle Sea Soul Beast do not attack the large ship. Only occasionally will a small number of violent Sea Soul Beast launch an attack, but they are all repelled by the guards hired by the captain.
The hired guards were all Sea Soul Master, most of them at the Soul Ancestor level.
Because the destination is Sea God Island, a sacred place in the hearts of Sea Soul Master, the price is not very high, and most Soul Master are willing to escort them.
After the initial shock subsided, everyone gradually began to adapt to life at sea.
The novelty gradually faded, leaving only the monotonous blue and the repetitive sound of waves.
Fortunately, they still have things to do.
Every morning, everyone would practice their cultivation as usual; in the afternoon, they would sit together with the crew and listen to their various experiences at sea.
Days passed by like this.
On the tenth day of the voyage, Captain A Dong pointed to the sea ahead and said, "Everyone, be careful! Don't be alone on deck! In this area, you can sometimes see Sea Soul Beast that fly incredibly fast. If they grab you, you won't be able to catch them."
What was said without malice may have been taken to heart by the listener.
Tang Feng looked up at the sky, and Bai Chenxiang raised her head at the same moment.
Tang Feng asked, "Captain, approximately how old are those Soul Beast?"
"Ten thousand years, I've heard some are over ten thousand years old. I don't know the exact number, I just heard it from other boatmen." A Dong scratched his head.
Tang Feng pondered for a moment, then said, " Xiangxiang and I are the only ones here who can fly. Why don't I take Xiangxiang to look for a suitable Soul Ring?"
Captain A Dong was very enthusiastic when he heard this. He gave Tang Feng a nautical chart, marked the sea area where Sea Soul Beast had been frequently appearing recently, and explained the " Sea Star's " next course in detail.
Tang Feng took the sea chart and said to his companions, "You guys go first. After we hunt down the Soul Ring, we'll follow the track the captain gave us."
He unfurled his Flame Dragon Wings, took to the air first, and transformed into a streak of dark golden light, flying towards the target sea area.
Bai Chenxiang followed closely behind, her back Martial Soul Possession of the Sharp-Tailed Swift, and her wings flapped.
Tang Feng and Bai Chenxiang searched for a full day and night.
They rested briefly on a deserted rocky island before continuing their search.
The target was finally spotted the following afternoon.
It was a large, silvery-white bird with a wingspan of nearly three zhang (approximately 10 meters), and the edges of its wings shimmered with a faint blue light.
It was flying close to the sea surface at an astonishing speed, its tail feathers casting shimmering shadows in the sunlight.
" The Wind-Splitting Tern, a speed-type avian Sea Soul Beast, has low attack power but extremely high speed." Tang Feng narrowed his eyes, sensing for a moment, "Around 16,000 years, just right."
He lowered his body, his Flame Dragon Wings flapping wildly, and he swooped down like a shooting star toward the silvery-white afterimage!
The Wind-Splitting Tern has extremely keen senses.
When Tang Feng was still a hundred feet away from it, it suddenly rose higher, let out a sharp cry, and turned into a white light, disappearing into the distance.
Tang Feng pursued relentlessly.
A chase unfolds on the boundless sea.
The speed of the Wind-Splitting Tern is indeed terrifying.
It doesn't need to flap its wings; it can glide simply by relying on air currents and leave ordinary Soul Saint far behind.
However, it encountered Tang Feng, who possessed the Flame Dragon Wings, External Soul Bone of a hundred thousand years, and whose speed was no slower than that of an ordinary speed-type Titled Douluo.
The chase lasted a full hour.
The flight path of the Wind-Splitting Tern gradually became erratic.
It turned its head, its eyes filled with fear as it looked at the dark golden figure that was getting closer and closer behind it.
Tang Feng finally caught up.
The Clear Sky Hammer crashed down from mid-air, possessing no Soul Skill, only the purest power.
The Wind-Splitting Tern barely managed to dodge to the side, but was still struck on the left wing by the hammer-like wind, letting out a shrill cry as it plummeted erratically towards a deserted island below.
Tang Feng slowly landed on the island, retracted his Flame Dragon Wings, and looked at Bai Chenxiang, who had arrived shortly after.
He said, "Go, this is yours."
The deserted island was very small, only a few miles in circumference, with a flat rocky beach in the center.
Wind-Splitting Tern lay on the rocks, its left wing broken, struggling.
As the two landed, it let out a threatening growl, but deep fear lurked in its eyes.
Bai Chenxiang stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and then used her Soul Bone Skill to unleash a wind blade, ending the life of the dying seabird.
A deep black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose, trembling slightly in the sea breeze.
Bai Chenxiang took a deep breath, sat cross-legged, and guided the Soul Ring into his body.
One hour. Two hours.
When she opened her eyes again, her Soul Power fluctuations had stabilized at level 52.
" Fifth Soul Skill, ' Wind Wing Cruise,' when activated, reduces Soul Power consumption during flight by 50% and increases speed by 50% for one hour."
Bai Chenxiang's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement.
Tang Feng nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, not bad. This is a strategic-level reconnaissance skill. It will be much more advantageous in the future, whether it's long-distance raids, pursuits, retreats, or large-scale reconnaissance."
Unfortunately, no Soul Bone condensed from the corpse of the Wind-Splitting Tern.
Without pausing, the two immediately took to the air and sped off in the direction marked by Captain A Dong.
After flying for three hours, the familiar ship finally appeared on the horizon ahead.
The " Sea Star " is cutting through the waves, and the flag embroidered with a golden trident on the mainmast is fluttering in the wind.
Tang Feng and his companion landed on the deck, whereupon everyone crowded around, bombarding them with questions.
The " Sea Star " carried them onward into the unknown depths of the blue sea.
Life at sea goes by faster than I imagined.
Since Bai Chenxiang successfully hunted the Soul Ring, the journey has returned to its usual tranquility, with the sun rising and setting.
Occasionally, a few small boats could be seen in the distance. These boats were much smaller than the " Sea Star," painted black, with flags bearing Skeleton and crossbones hanging from their masts, and they lurked furtively on the sea.
"Pirate."
Captain A Dong glanced at it, his expression unchanged, and he didn't even bother to change course.
Everyone's hearts tightened, but then they saw the pirate ships turn around in the distance.
They dared not approach.
A Dong pointed to the flag fluttering in the wind at the top of the mainmast. It was a dark blue flag with a golden trident embroidered in the center, gleaming in the sunlight.
"The flag of Sea God Island. In this sea area, anyone who touches a ship flying this flag is going against Sea God Island. No matter how fierce the pirates are, they wouldn't dare to provoke them."
Meanwhile, in the Divine Realm.
The Sea God Hall, shrouded in mist, is made of deep blue divine stone, each stone engraved with tidal patterns, from which the faint sound of ocean waves can be heard.
In front of the hall, two enormous Sea Horse statues spew forth an inexhaustible stream of water, which flows slowly down the steps and merges into the boundless sea of clouds.
Inside the temple, the Sea God sat serenely on his coral throne, his eyes closed in meditation.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and the palace doors opened silently, revealing a dark red figure.
That was the Asura God King.
He exuded an even more ancient and fierce aura of killing intent.
" Asura, what brings you to my place?"
Sea God nodded slightly, his tone revealing a hint of surprise.
Without any formalities, the Asura God King walked straight into the hall and stood with his hands behind his back.
"Your Sea God Island is about to welcome a group of guests."
Sea God raised an eyebrow, a half-smile playing on his lips. " Asura, since when have you started caring about my territory?"
The Asura God King ignored his teasing and simply said, "One of them is the successor to my divine throne that I have chosen."
Sea God paused, slowly sitting up straight, a hint of surprise flashing in his azure eyes.
The two then began to discuss something.
One month later.
When the enormous shadow finally emerged fully from the horizon, everyone rushed to the ship's side.
Sea God Island.
It is more magnificent than people imagined.
The entire island was shrouded in a faint, seven-colored halo, like a dream.
The island is covered with rolling hills, lush and verdant. At its highest point, a massive building, shaped like a trident, can be vaguely seen pointing straight to the sky.
All around were white sand beaches, shimmering with silver light under the sun, and the waves gently lapped at the shore, making soft, lapping sounds.
