Outside the Undersea Void Realm, the group watched as the entrance completely vanished, their last remaining hope shattered. They sighed deeply, filled with sorrow.
Unexpectedly, although Xiao Yan rescued all the younger generation of his Sea Tribe, he ultimately lost his own life. Once Xiao Xuan wakes up afterward, neither of the two Sea Tribe will be able to explain it to him!
Even now, Hai Mochen still stared unwillingly at the spot where the Undersea Void Realm had disappeared. He couldn't believe that Xiao Yan, with his abilities, could die just like that. He absolutely refused to believe it!
"Buzz!"
However, at that very moment, after the Undersea Void Realm disappeared, a pitch-black point of light suddenly appeared where it had originally stood, and rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a huge black curtain as tall as a person.
"That is..."
Upon seeing the black tent, Hai Mochen's expression immediately changed, and at the same time, the people beside him also noticed the sudden change that had occurred.
The group's gazes immediately turned to that direction, and then, a disheveled figure suddenly darted out from the black tent. After swaying a few times, he finally managed to steady himself in mid-air, raised his head, and grinned when he saw the group of people staring at him in astonishment.
"I have successfully completed my mission and am back."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly went limp, and he was about to fall from the void. Fortunately, Hai Zhantian reacted quickly, flashing forward to catch him. After a rapid examination, he turned back, nodded to Hai Mochen, whose face was filled with worry, and said:
"It's nothing, he just fainted because he was too weak."
Upon hearing this, Hai Mochen felt a sense of relief. At the same time, everyone present also showed a relieved smile. Xue Mian and Hai Ling'er smiled at each other, their eyes filled with affection. Xue Mian reached out and took the girl's soft, boneless hand in his palm, never letting go.
The fathers of both children noticed this scene, exchanged a glance, smiled and nodded, but said nothing.
When Xiao Yan woke up again, he found himself in a bedroom. He got up and looked around. The bedroom was decorated with things unique to the sea. There were reefs and corals everywhere, and even all the furniture was the same.
There was no one else in the room, and the environment was extremely quiet. When Xiao Yan spread his Spiritual Strength outward, a large area of strangely shaped buildings immediately appeared in his mind. At the same time, he realized that he was currently in the deep sea.
The area where Xiao Yan was located was completely different from other places. Although it was the deep sea, the place he was in was a separately opened-up area, not covered by seawater, but rather like human land. Through some iconic buildings, it was not difficult to see that Xiao Yan was currently in the Sea Shark Clan, and his location seemed to be close to the very center of the entire clan. When his Spiritual Strength spread outward, he was also shocked by the vastness of this Sea Tribe's power.
In this vast underwater world, the boundless buildings stretched out in all directions. Even with Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, he could not see the end of these buildings. The sheer size of the Sea Shark Clan was unimaginable.
A glimpse of the leopard through a tube reveals only a part of its brilliance.
When he came to his senses, Xiao Yan realized that his fighting Dou Qi had been fully restored, and even the injuries he had sustained had disappeared. At this moment, Xiao Yan's condition had returned to its peak.
Feeling the abundant power within his body, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh. This feeling of power was truly wonderful. Recalling everything he had encountered in the Undersea Void Realm, the weakness that permeated his entire body was truly terrifying. If he hadn't exerted all his strength to condense the Great Dao of the Void and escape that deadly place, Xiao Yan would probably have already been swallowed up by the boundless darkness.
Pulling his thoughts back, Xiao Yan suddenly had an idea. Immediately afterward, a pale blue phantom quickly rose from behind him. Fortunately, Xiao Yan controlled it, preventing it from touching the roof. Otherwise, this dormitory would probably have been destroyed by Xiao Yan.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Yan turned around and looked at the pale blue phantom that had condensed behind him. A smile appeared on his lips. The Winged Elephant Art, the third technique of the Four Saints Manifestation Art. If he could master it, he could then try to condense the final technique, the Giant Elephant Art!
According to the original explanation of the Four Saints Manifestation Art, if one could master these four techniques, the power of the Giant Elephant Art would be comparable to Intent Class Dou Technique. Such temptation would not be enough to move even Xiao Yan!
Of course, he is still far from that point. Not to mention when he can condense the Giant Elephant Art, even unleashing its power Intent Class Dou Technique is beyond Xiao Yan 'Xiao Yan current capabilities. However, this very fact provides him with a certain motivation.
With a thought, the illusory image behind him dissipated. After a moment's contemplation, he focused his mind inward and entered his mind. At this moment, a blue energy ball was slowly floating in Xiao Yan's mind. This was the fragment of the Flame Mantra that Hai Mochen had given him. Now, Xiao Yan planned to take this opportunity to refine it, which would also resolve a concern in his heart.
Thinking it and doing it, the Heavenly Flames within his body surged up and quickly entered his mind. Under Xiao Yan's control, it transformed into a flaming cauldron, rapidly enveloping the blue energy ball in front of him. Then, without hesitation, he began to refine it.
The refining process was much simpler and faster this time. With Xiao Yan's current cultivation level, refining this fragment of the Flame Mantra was almost effortless. In just about an hour, the Flame Mantra fragment was successfully refined. Almost simultaneously, the Flame Mantra Technique within Xiao Yan's body began to circulate involuntarily.
Instantly, a powerful suction force surged outward from Xiao Yan's body. The energy within the entire dormitory, as well as the energy outside, was drawn towards Xiao Yan by this special suction force.
Sensing the unusual energy in the air around him, Xiao Yan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. It seemed that refining the Flame Mantra had also activated the energy within his body. Perhaps he could take this opportunity to break through to the Eight-Star Dou Di in one fell swoop.
With this in mind, Xiao Yan grinned, quickly sat cross-legged, entered a meditative state, and began to concentrate on absorbing and refining the energy of heaven and earth.
"Hmm, what happened?"
The sudden change immediately alerted the Sea Tribe patrolling nearby. Many people immediately gathered towards Xiao Yan's location from all directions. However, just as they appeared above Xiao Yan's room, four figures suddenly appeared out of thin air like ghosts and waved to stop the Sea Tribe soldiers who were about to investigate.
Seeing this, the group bowed respectfully to the four people, and then retreated with suspicious looks in their eyes.
In mid-air, Hai Zhantian and Hai Mochen exchanged a glance. The latter smiled slightly and said:
"It seems he has refined that part of the Flame Mantra, and judging from his current posture, he probably wants to take this opportunity to break through."
Hearing this, the patriarchs of the Heaven-Devouring Flood Dragon and the Sea Shark Clan raised their eyebrows. Recalling the terrifying combat power that Xiao Yan had displayed in front of them before, they realized that when he was Seven-Star Dou Di, he was able to easily suppress Late-Stage Nine-Star Dou Di. If the latter's cultivation level were to advance another level, how terrifying would his combat power be!
Thinking of this, even these two people, with their status, couldn't help but gasp. At the same time, their goodwill towards Xiao Yan also increased rapidly.
The fact that Xiao Yan was saved might make them treat him with some courtesy, but if it concerned the latter's future potential, then they would have to take it very seriously!
