Flood Dragon Hunt
Those cultivators who attempted to escape on their escape lights were the first to suffer.
The speed at which the Turbid Qi erupted far exceeded that of the escape light. Often, they had barely flown less than a hundred feet when a pillar of Turbid Qi shot into the sky from beneath their feet, engulfing them along with their escape light.
The escape light was extinguished instantly in the Turbid Qi, like a piece of ember doused with cold water. The cultivator himself was enveloped by the Turbid Qi, and his skin rotted and peeled off within a few breaths, revealing the corroded muscle and bones underneath. Then, his whole body was dissolved as if by acid, turning into a puddle of turbid water that fell from the sky.
Those monks who escaped by boat did not fare much better.
The Turbid Qi erupted, creating towering waves hundreds of feet high that tossed, flipped, and smashed large ocean-going ships like toys.
Some ships were directly hit by the column of Turbid Qi. The protective shields at the bottom of the ships could not even hold for a moment before being pierced. The Turbid Qi rushed into the cabins, and the cultivators on board had nowhere to escape in the enclosed space. They were suffocated to death by the Turbid Qi. Their corpses swelled and deformed rapidly under the corrosive influence of the Turbid Qi, and finally turned into bloated corpses that were unrecognizable, floating on the churning sea.
Those cultivators who tried to hide in the sea were the worst off.
The eruption of Turbid Qi from the seabed was far more violent than that on the surface. As soon as they submerged, they were struck head-on by the turbid Turbid Qi erupting from beneath their feet. They were enveloped by the turbid Turbid Qi and swept toward the surface. During this process, their bodies were repeatedly squeezed and torn apart by the high pressure and high temperature of the Turbid Qi, as if they had been thrown into a giant blender. By the time they were washed to the surface, they had become a mangled mess of flesh and blood, with not a single intact bone to be found.
The defilements of the age, views, afflictions, sentient beings, and life.
In this Five Turbidities, no Buddha will appear!
This is the current tragic state of the Dragon Blood Tide.
Foundation Establishment and Golden Core are exactly the same here.
The ship's protective shield, capable of withstanding a blow from a Nascent Soul, performed even worse against the turbid Turbid Qi that could neutralize Spiritual Qi energy than it could against a Nascent Soul.
This is what makes Turbid Qi so terrible.
Any magical Law Treasure, formations, or Law Technique that require Spiritual Qi to operate will be neutralized and dissipated by the Turbid Qi, and then submerged by an even larger amount of Turbid Qi.
The entire seabed seemed to be writhing and about to be born from a Sinful Dragon, with the Turbid Qi surging from the depths of the earth's veins turning the entire East Sea upside down.
The seabed is cracking, the reefs are collapsing, and the ancient ruins and shipwrecks that have slumbered on the seabed for countless years are being stirred up from the mud and sand by the Turbid Qi, then shattered and crushed into fragments that mix into the surging turbid current; while the Spiritual Qi and flesh and blood of the cultivators and Demon Beast being devoured by the Turbid Qi are being absorbed and transformed by that Turbid Qi, becoming the fuel for the Sinful Dragon to break free from its seal.
Although they had anticipated the terrifying nature of this Turbid Dragon, upon actually witnessing the scene, both the Rogue Cultivator from the Thirty-Six Islands of the Eastern Sea and the military cultivators on the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship turned pale.
This Sinful Dragon's territory can be said to cover the entire Thirty-Six Islands.
Whether it was the inner island or the outer island, the Spiritual Qi energy visibly decreased. In just a short while, the Spiritual Qi energy concentration in all the high-level Spiritual Qi areas on the island dropped by one level.
If this Turbid Dragon truly emerges, it is certain that the Thirty-Six Islands of the Eastern Sea may still exist, but this sacred place for cultivation in the East Sea will certainly cease to exist.
Ao Tianhai looked at the three Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator floating on the island. Although he couldn't see their expressions, he could guess their Nascent Soul to some extent.
If given another chance, they would never agree to Lord Lin's plan, even if it killed them.
Our ancestral heritage is about to be lost!
However, disagreeing might lead to even worse consequences, because at that point, the bait might not be the Dragon Blood Tide, but the entire Thirty-Six Islands of the Dragon Sea.
"Then I'll head over, three island lords."
Ao Tianhai bowed slightly.
"Go, and make sure to handle it properly as soon as possible," a weary female voice rang out.
Despite the turbid Turbid Qi and the emergence of Dragon Vein, Ao Tianhai felt a completely opposite sense of comfort.
The next moment, he jumped directly into the Turbid Qi, murky sea.
As soon as he entered the sea, his body began to change. A layer of fine golden scales emerged from his neck, sprouting from under his skin like bamboo shoots and quickly covering his entire upper body.
The scales were diamond-shaped with sharp edges, and each one was tightly fitted together, like wearing a suit of armor made of pure gold.
Then came his limbs. His fingers began to grow longer and thicker, with sharp golden claws sprouting from their tips, the claws gleaming with a dark red sheen, as if they had just been pulled from Blood Pool.
His legs were also changing; the muscles expanded, the bones stretched, taut over his trousers, and his toes transformed into claws, gripping the void beneath his feet.
The most obvious change was in his head. Two bulges appeared on either side of his forehead, growing larger and sharper until they finally pierced the skin, revealing two curved golden dragon horns.
At this moment, his aura completely broke through the Golden Core stage and reached the Nascent Soul stage.
Ao Tianhai raised his head and let out a long roar, a strange sound that was a mixture of dragon's roar and tiger's howl, carrying an extremely penetrating pressure that shook the surrounding turbid Turbid Qi away; behind him, a black dragon-shaped phantom formed from Turbid Qi was slowly taking shape, its head, horns, whiskers, claws, and tail becoming clearer and more solid as it was filled with Turbid Qi, as if a real black dragon was descending from the void.
Those who can control the consciousness of the Dragon Vein can naturally manipulate the Turbid Qi.
Almost simultaneously with Ao Tianhai's action, orders rang out from the three Sea-Pacifying Divine Warships.
"Flood Dragon Hunting Squad, move out!"
The next moment, ten beams of Combined Escape Light shot out from the three divine ships, heading straight for the core of the underwater Dragon Vein.
Each of the streaks of light exuded the aura of Nascent Soul cultivator, but all the members of the Flood Dragon Hunting Squad were Golden Core cultivators.
It's not that we can't provide cultivators of a higher level.
When confronting Dragon Vein, unless under special circumstances, the stronger one's Law Power, the heavier the backlash will be.
This is also the greatest experience the Dragon-Slaying Department Dragon Vein over the years.
Just as the Dragon-Slaying Department can investigate the Ten Lords, the Ten Lords also have the authority to read all the "Dragon Slayer Data" Dragon-Slaying Department over the years.
The Flood Dragon Hunting Squad is a professional talent cultivated by Lord Lin, modeled after the elite of the Dragon-Slaying Department.
In addition to the ten squads deployed, each of the three warships also had a Flood Dragon Hunting Squad on standby.
To ensure a successful start, Lord Lin unleashed almost all the relevant talents he had cultivated over the years.
In accordance with Heavenly Gate's military operational practices, a saturation attack will be launched first.
Lin Zhiying's Flood Dragon Hunting Squad was one of the reserve teams.
According to the deployment order, her unit should have been deployed as well, but she returned too late last night from searching the demonic path, and for the sake of her condition, her unit was designated as a reserve force.
Faced with the mournful looks from her team members, Lin Zhiying's lips twitched a few times, but she was speechless!
At this moment, she desperately hoped that someone from the demonic path would come and disrupt things; otherwise, she would probably have come here as a substitute.
"Can the first batch of Clear Qi Bomb be released now?"
"That's about enough. Let's stimulate the Dragon Vein's consciousness first to complete the positioning."
She overheard the personnel in charge whispering among themselves.
About an incense stick's time later, the deck of the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship suddenly opened, thunder rumbled, and one after another, Thunder Crow Arrow out, densely packed, as if countless small black dots had suddenly appeared in the sky.
Each Thunder Crow Arrow is as thick as a normal person's thigh, and is renowned for its speed of release like divine thunder and its sound like divine raven.
According to sword cultivators, it's called "Sword Qi Thunder Sound," and not just any "Sword Qi Thunder Sound," but several times stronger.
The thunderous sound emitted by each Thunder Crow Arrow overlapped and resonated in the air with the thunderous sounds emitted by other Thunder Crow Arrow, forming a more magnificent and shocking chorus, as if the entire sky was trembling with the cries of those divine ravens.
The Thunder Crow Arrow, trailing silvery-white lightning tails, pierced fiercely into the turbid Turbid Dragon's surging form beneath the sea like a torrential rain of lightning.
Without any flash or explosion, the projectile began to disintegrate in mid-air, releasing puffs of concentrated pale blue gas.
Just as Turbid Qi can infect all things, this Clear Qi begins to in turn infect the Turbid Qi, producing another form of neutralization.
The Turbid Qi that came into contact with the Clear Qi seemed to be injected with some kind of activity, and began to change from the inside. In the dim yellow Turbid Qi, faint blue light spots began to emerge, like stars gradually lighting up in the night sky. More and more, denser and denser, they eventually connected and dyed the entire Turbid Qi a faint blue color from the inside out.
The Clear Qi released by a single Thunder Crow Arrow can completely transform the Turbid Qi within a radius of tens of feet; when hundreds of Thunder Crow Arrow are released simultaneously, they can form a pale blue pure area covering thousands of feet on the sea surface, dispersing the surging black Turbid Qi like the receding tide.
Thus, a strange scene appeared on the sea: the yellowish-brown Turbid Qi and the pale blue Clear Qi were like two armies facing off, repeatedly tug-of-war, vying for, and penetrating each other at the boundary.
The Turbid Qi attempted to reclaim the areas purified by the Clear Qi, while the Clear Qi continued to advance deeper into the Turbid Qi, transforming more polluted sea areas into pale blue.
A rich Spiritual Qi rose from the sea once again.
As a representative of high-concentration Spiritual Qi, it is rumored that artificial Clear Qi has a Spiritual Qi concentration as high as 100%.
Spiritual Qi with a concentration of 100 is also known as Immortal Qi.
Those present seemed to hear the angry roar of the Turbid Dragon.
The sound pierced through the seawater, through the ship's hull, through the protective shield, and echoed directly in everyone's chest, making their hearts tremble.
Some cultivators with lower cultivation levels turned pale and their legs went weak under the impact of the sound waves, and they had to hold onto the railings to stand. Even the Golden Core cultivators felt a strange sense of oppression, as if some terrifying being was watching them from the depths of the sea, memorizing them one by one with that ancient and cold gaze.
