Xu Long's brows furrowed deeply, and below him, He Huaibao was already close to a state of madness.
While he was speaking, he kept looking down at the bronze chain.
There seemed to be something below that was driving He Huaibao gradually mad.
"You don't know what's in this Vast Sea, do you? Let me tell you!"
"Below lies something that even Saint fear; below lies something that drives countless people to explore and to madness!"
"This is an opportunity, and also a legacy. It belongs to me, He Huaibao; it belongs to my Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge Sect School!"
At this point, He Huaibao suddenly turned his head. Xu Long saw endless madness and intense killing intent in his bloodshot eyes.
"The one down there must be the Vast Sea Dragon King!"
Xu Long slowly sank beneath the bronze chains, sizing up the He Huaibao opposite him, and voiced his innermost thoughts.
But to his surprise, He Huaibao on the other side remained completely unmoved. Seeing that Xu Long had already reached him, he grinned wickedly and said:
"Whatever's down there, you don't need to know anymore!"
As soon as He Huaibao finished speaking, a dark figure beneath him quickly pulled himself up.
In the darkness, Xu Long felt a powerful wave of water rushing towards him.
That enormous wave was created by the ferocious aquatic beast, which He Huaibao had captured in the Vast Sea.
At this moment, He Huaibao controlled him to dive into the abyss, and he immediately used his power to deal with Xu Long.
As the waves in front of him grew increasingly powerful, Xu Long on the opposite side simply solidified his own curtain wall.
He summoned it from the bottom of his heart, and the stream of light immediately appeared before him.
The stream of light that appeared before us was like a bolt of lightning, instantly cleaving through the long waves of water.
At this moment, a dorsal fin protruded high behind them. Upon seeing the high dorsal fin, one knew that the ferocious aquatic beast was preparing to attack from the waves.
After cleaving through the waves, the lightning-eyed sword light magnified several times within the abyss, slashing towards the tall dorsal fin.
At this moment, He Huaibao, standing behind him, maintained his smile and then gently twirled the copper ring once.
After the copper ring circled the joint, a halo of light suddenly rose from the dorsal fin of the aquatic beast.
The ferocious aquatic beasts below were firmly protected by the light circle. At this moment, Xu Long slashed down with his sword, which suddenly ripped away from the light circle.
A deafening roar erupted in the water, creating a massive curtain of water above the high dorsal fin.
After the sword strike, the halo absorbed most of the force.
But the power emanating from that sword light still seeped through the water and clung to the dorsal fin of the aquatic beast.
Under the combined force of those several powerful attacks, the aquatic beast suddenly plummeted to the ground.
A curtain of water had already formed where it was originally, and it instantly swirled away after the sword strike.
At this moment, He Huaibao was behind, was still able to urge the weapon in his hand to move.
He then controlled the aquatic beast within his True Spirit, causing the enormous beast to suddenly turn around in the abyss and fling its massive body toward Xu Long.
The roar of a wave of water suddenly resounded in Xu Long's ears, and as the splashing sound approached, he could feel the oppressive force of the wave.
The beast's turn alone caused the water in its eyes to surge, especially since the space inside the abyss was already cramped.
Xu Long, positioned opposite, couldn't dodge either, and could only watch as the ferocious beast swung its massive body at him.
Xu Long, who was on the opposite side, immediately formed a magic seal in front of him.
The enormous body was already in front of him, and a wave of water crashed down, cracking the curtain wall.
But after those waves came a heavy pressure.
Seeing this, Xu Long instantly unleashed his magic seal and simultaneously uttered a single word:
"Imperial Edict!"
Bang!
After a muffled thud, the ferocious beast's massive body lashed out at the magic seal.
At this moment, under the crushing Super Strength, the magic seal began to shatter layer by layer.
After a series of crackling sounds, Xu Long on the opposite side quickly retreated, and a dazzling starlight suddenly surged up from the seabed.
A deafening roar echoed from outside the beast's body.
At this moment, when the Dharma Seal exploded, it caused endless water to surge and rise.
At the base of the shadowy figure, there seemed to be surging waves, and under the radiance of that starlight, it looked as if the entire ocean was about to be overturned.
At this moment, Xu Long, on the other side, finally saw the appearance of the ferocious aquatic beast clearly, illuminated by the starlight.
This is a ferocious beast with a body resembling a whale. Its massive body is completely smooth, without any scales or armor.
Despite its enormous size, it is remarkably agile in the currents of water.
The figure floated on the water, revealing nothing but a huge black shadow.
At this moment, with the power of the magic seal, the water flow of the ferocious beast was dispersed, and a tall dorsal fin was seen, standing upright like a flag.
As it turned over underwater, it made a "whooshing" sound.
Xu Long activated his Heavenly Eye to investigate and discovered steel teeth arranged like serrations inside the beast's enormous mouth.
On either side of the beast's head were a pair of enormous eyes, covered by a thick membrane, making the eyes appear exceptionally lively.
At this moment, the ferocious beast's eyes darted around, and it then swung its body, detonating the magic seal before attempting to leave Xu Long.
Because at this moment He Huaibao had already attacked from behind. Looking at the beast's anthropomorphic eyes, Xu Long was certain that this guy was very intelligent.
This is a ferocious beast that lives in the sea, and it is a ferocious beast that existed in the ancient times.
The ferocious beast clan I saw above that stepped well was this aquatic beast clan.
Seeing the ferocious beast raise its dorsal fin high, Xu Long was already certain in his heart.
This creature is none other than the ancient aquatic beast—the orca!
It seems there are many secrets hidden in this Vast Sea, even the ancient orcas exist in the abyss.
This ferocious beast possesses intelligence comparable to that of cultivators, and it never used to appear in those waters.
Moreover, as an ancient and ferocious beast, orcas are now extremely rare in the Earth Realm, and in some places they can even be said to have disappeared.
But unexpectedly, there is a population of orcas in the Vast Sea.
These orcas usually follow powerful creatures; could it be that the Vast Sea truly contains a dragon king?
While Xu Long was pondering, He Huaibao had already attacked from the opposite side.
After striking the water with a palm, a vacuum space immediately appeared within the water above.
At this moment, He Huaibao raised his copper ring below, and once activated, the copper ring enveloped Xu Long's body.
At this moment, Xu Long looked up and saw the He Huaibao on the bronze ring.
Upon seeing that the copper ring had captured Xu Long, He Huaibao immediately pulled his wrist out of the ring.
A buzzing sound filled the air, and then a blue magic seal appeared within the copper ring.
When Xu Long, who was below, saw the magic seal appear, his brows furrowed immediately.
At this moment, He Huaibao suddenly shouted downwards:
"Imperial Edict!"
A huge vortex was reflected in Xu Long's eyes.
When the blue magic seal attacked, the water flow beneath the copper ring reversed direction.
Only one magic seal appeared above Xu Long's head, and at that moment, a sense of crisis arose in his heart.
Xu Long shouted loudly in the water, and before the blue magic seal could strike, a majestic figure floated up.
He Huaibao's smile froze slightly. After a loud "boom," his Dharma Body body trembled continuously in the water.
The copper ring and Dharma seal of He Huaibao were raised high by that Dharma Body.
At this moment, a streak of light flashed past behind He Huaibao again. Xu Long's mind raced, and his sword slashed fiercely at He Huaibao's back.
He Huaibao also knew that there were many ways to counter a sharp edge. At this moment, a stream of light suddenly appeared on the opposite side, and He Huaibao summoned a phrase in his heart.
A "whoosh" sound rang out at this moment, and the orcas in the water immediately stirred up a wave.
The orca instantly enveloped the incoming sword light, then pressed its body behind the current.
The sword light within the water flow was suddenly blocked. After several muffled thuds, the thick layer of water was pierced through by the sword light.
At this moment, the orca flipped its body again and actually retreated before the sword light.
Xu Long couldn't help but chuckle inwardly; it seemed this fellow hadn't been completely tamed by He Huaibao after all.
The orca's escape after its attack infuriated He Huaibao; this creature was indeed not his symbiotic beast.
After experiencing the power of the sword light, he immediately fled, leaving He Huaibao feeling helpless.
After the orca retreated, the sword light swirled in the water, creating a huge splash.
Countless sparks flew amidst the splashing water, and the orca, seeing this, immediately dodged away again.
It possesses its own wisdom and will never risk its life in vain until it is completely subdued by He Huaibao.
When He Huaibao saw the orca retreating in the current, he was furious.
He also knew the power of Xu Long's sword light. The reason why the orca retreated was because the sword light in the water was too fast.
This is much more difficult than dealing with Tan Shengzhi before; the orca knows when to advance and retreat.
Seeing the orca dawdling, He Huaibao's fighting strength immediately dropped significantly.
As Xu Long seized the opportunity in the water, causing his Dharma Body to stand the copper ring upright, at the same time, the sword light behind He Huaibao slashed down again.
At this moment, He Huaibao felt a chill on his neck. When he extended his True Spirit to investigate, he saw a pair of huge splashes of water behind him.
After the water splashed open, streaks of sword energy flashed out from between the layers of petals.
With the enhancement of Xu Long's Magic Power, these sword energies became incredibly solid.
At this moment, Xu Long unleashed a deadly attack on He Huaibao.
At this moment, beneath that solidified sword energy, a violent struggle arose in He Huaibao's heart.
But a chill overhead kept reminding him.
At this moment Xu Long, on the other side, roared angrily at He Huaibao:
"Imperial Edict!"
After the sound, the water behind them immediately swirled around.
Beside He Huaibao, countless sword energies crisscrossed, and He Huaibao, trapped within those sword energies, had nowhere to escape.
But at this moment, He Huaibao rapidly chanted a spell towards the copper ring on his Dharma Body.
After the incantation was recited, the copper ring on the Dharma Body suddenly changed color.
The light, which was originally yellowish-brown, suddenly turned golden.
Xu Long, who was below, suddenly noticed a golden copper ring in his eyes, which seemed to be something he had seen at the Qinghe Daoist Sanctuary.
Now, driven by the Extremis situation, is that He Huaibao's secret?
After the golden copper ring appeared, the body of the Dharma Body body gradually shrank within the water.
That tiny copper ring, seemingly possessing immense power, was pressing down on the Dharma Body so much that it almost couldn't straighten its back.
Xu Long, who was below, suddenly realized that the situation might develop in a way that was beyond his expectations.
He then channeled his will into unleashing the solidified sword energy, intending to swiftly annihilate He Huaibao.
But at this moment, halos of light appeared on the golden ring.
The golden halo was exceptionally dazzling in the dark waters, and its appearance even overshadowed the starlight emitted by the sword.
At this moment, the sword energy from behind was already being released in layers, following the whistling sound of flowing water.
The sword energy turned into clanging sounds before that golden halo.
After the sound faded, the outer edge of the halo dimmed slightly, but the He Huaibao inside remained unharmed.
The sword energy in front of him transformed into energy and dissipated into the flowing water.
The huge splash of water from before gradually diminished in the flow of water.
A streak of light flashed across Xu Long's eyes; at that moment, the sword light had already returned to his Dharma Body.
Just as Xu Long was about to cut off the golden ring on the Dharma Body, He Huaibao opposite him chanted another spell.
After a few buzzing sounds, the golden ring on the Dharma Body was instantly removed.
After Xu Long's sword strike missed its mark, it swirled backward.
The removed golden ring gradually enlarged behind He Huaibao, and Xu Long's expression changed drastically upon seeing his own attack.
At this moment, He Huaibao couldn't help but burst into laughter, a look of disdain appearing in his eyes.
Xu Long's eyes narrowed slightly, but He Huaibao's actions surprised him.
As the golden ring continued to expand, a huge black shadow appeared behind He Huaibao.
When Xu Long saw the dark figure opposite him, his pupils contracted sharply.
It was actually the Beast King of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!
Flood dragon!
The dark shadow in Xu Long's eyes was none other than a real dragon!
I had heard before that there was a Beast King guarding the ancestor of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge.
Xu Long didn't know the origin of the Beast King, but now that he saw the dragon in the Vast Sea, all of Xu Long's doubts were resolved.
The secret within He Huaibao, the treasure bestowed upon him by the Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge Ancestor, is that Jiaolong Beast King!
This is why He Huaibao Wuji in the Vast Sea.
With that dragon by his side, he was now invincible among the cultivators in this Vast Sea!
At this moment, what Xu Long was thinking was:
Since it is said that Twofold Immortal cultivators cannot enter the Vast Sea, releasing one's own Beast King into the Vast Sea under the control of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge would just circumvent this taboo.
Moreover, Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge was truly audacious, actually releasing this Jiaolong Beast King into the Vast Sea.
They weren't afraid of anything happening to the Beast King in the Vast Sea, because that Jiaolong Beast King was related to the life of the Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge Ancestor.
If this dragon behaves strangely in the Vast Sea, even the Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge Ancestor in the blessed land will be seriously injured.
Given this, there's only one possibility why Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge risked releasing its own Beast King into the Vast Sea.
That opportunity and inheritance within the Vast Sea will surely be seized by the Beast King!
Now, recalling the plan in He Huaiying's mind, the plan to integrate the Daning Commandery Kingdom, the plan to make Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge flourish.
It seems that as long as the Jiaolong Beast King obtains that inherited item in the Vast Sea, it will be a powerful force.
The power of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge within the Daning Commandery Kingdom will greatly increase, while the Jade Screen Sect School and Luo River Family will decline.
Looking back now, this Jiaolong Beast King was truly a grand scheme by Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!
"Hahahaha! What three forces of the Daning Commandery Kingdom, what disciples of the Nether Sect of Yue Province in the south? Do you think they can survive under the might of my Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge!"
"Do you really think I was talking nonsense? This heirloom has always been reserved by our Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge! Have you even tried to compete for it? You're overestimating yourselves!"
At this moment, He Huaibao was even more frenzied than before, and the black shadow behind him gradually revealed its true form.
At this moment, He Huaibao, who was in the sea, was experiencing a surge of power, and the flow of his energy seemed somewhat abnormal.
However, anyone with a Beast King backing them up would probably become abnormal.
At this moment, He Huaibao was simply expressing his frantic inner thoughts.
At this moment, Xu Long focused his attention on the dark figure behind the golden ring.
After revealing its enormous body, the full form of the Jiaolong Beast King appeared in the La Waters.
The pressure on Xu Long suddenly increased. When Xu Long looked at a gaze beneath the golden ring, he suddenly thought of the Duck Beast King and King Yuanyuan.
That is a powerhouse comparable to Golden Immortal cultivator.
The Beast King of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge is covered in fine black scales.
Its long body coiled up in the water, and its face was indistinguishable from that of a True Dragon.
However, a single horn grew from that enormous head.
Unlike True Dragon, it does not have two horns.
Once it appeared, the golden ring floated in front of He Huaibao's body below.
The He Huaibao below trembled uncontrollably, his gaze constantly scanning the golden ring.
A surge of emotion welled up within him; He Huaibao, a disciple of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, was now commanding a Beast King in the Vast Sea.
In the not-too-distant future, this beast Beast King will become a True Dragon!
This is the destiny of my Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, and also the opportunity for me He Huaibao.
Of course, it will also be the day of your death, Yunmo!
After raising the golden ring, He Huaibao's anger towards Xu Long vanished, replaced by an endless madness.
Before the Beast King, let's see how you, Yunmo, can win. I'm afraid you won't even be able to preserve a whole corpse!
