Dragons Battle at Sea

The fighting spirit never dies, the Asura never stops.

According to the "Black Sha Asura Cultivation Method," many Asuras did not die from being beaten, but from burning themselves out during battle and dying of exhaustion on the battlefield.

Hu Mang was on the verge of this state. He was still conscious and could clearly sense that the Sha Qi in his body was being consumed at an alarming rate. He could sense that the Yao Qi and malevolent energy that had been forcibly absorbed into his body were gradually being depleted. He could sense that the cracks on his arms caused by the Devil Suppression Tower were constantly widening, and the repair speed could not keep up with the speed of destruction.

He knew he should stop, catch his breath, and adjust his condition before continuing the fight, but his body wouldn't obey him; the fighting spirit surging from his Asura form washed over his reason like a flood breaking its banks, making him want only to continue fighting, continue charging, and continue smashing all obstacles in his path with his fists.

No wonder this thing is considered Devil Cultivation Method; it is indeed quite demonic.

Fortunately, Hu Mang managed to hold onto his last shred of clarity thanks to his top-tier Devil Cultivation Method and consciousness.

He even had the energy to ponder other things during this level of combat.

For example, the Azure Mysterious Realm version of the Unity of Heaven and Man, commonly known as the Heavenly Secrets Evolution.

That is, the kind of operation where a person merges with the heavens, earth, mountains, rivers, and the sect's grand formation, unleashing dozens or even hundreds of times their power.

Hu Mang's current Cultivation Method are all from the Azure Mysterious Realm lineage. Theoretically speaking, apart from lacking a sect's grand formation, he is no different from a genuine Azure Mysterious Realm cultivator.

Moreover, although he doesn't have a sect's grand formation, he does have Dragon Vein.

The Ghost Dragon Vein that was evolving into the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, although not yet fully formed, had already established a connection with him and become part of his power.

If he could apply the principles of Heavenly Secrets Evolution to the Ghost Dragon Vein and merge with Dragon Vein, the power he could mobilize would far exceed his own limits.

"The clouds in the sky have increased again."

Lin Zhiying suddenly said.

This level of combat is beyond the scope of their Flood Dragon Hunting Squad's capabilities.

The demonic cultivator opposite them was not of Dragon Vein and did not have a massive physique, but instead possessed terrifying physical explosive power.

The Devil Cultivation Method that the opponent has evolved... are at least not the Devil Cultivation Method inherited from the Heavenly Gate records, and are extremely dangerous.

If I had to describe the current scene, it would be like a humanoid sea monster entangled with the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship, only this entanglement is faster, more violent, and more dangerous.

But that's essentially how it is.

This is precisely what Lin Zhiying cannot understand.

Although she hadn't met him many times, in her impression, this demonic cultivator should be quite cunning and treacherous, often doing things in unexpected ways. How could he act like a pure beast, charging straight at the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship?

Did he really think he could possess the sea monster's endurance and then exhaust the warship's Spiritual Qi?

There are two more!

Therefore, there must be something he secretly arranged, some important demonic plan.

For example, should we wait for the other demonic princes to make their move?

Or perhaps it's the sky itself?

"The scope of the Unity of Heaven and Man is expanding," a member of the squad murmured.

"How could it expand? Isn't the Unity of Heaven and Man State of Mind? How could it evolve into a celestial phenomenon?"

Lin Zhiying was taken aback upon hearing this, and then she also noticed the abnormality. The unity of Unity of Heaven and Man and man is essentially a kind of State of Mind cultivation, a connection and resonance between the cultivator and the world. It usually only manifests in the cultivator's personal aura and temperament, and at most affects the aura within a few feet around.

But at this moment, that aura of Unity of Heaven and Man is spreading outwards at a visible speed.

The energy spread from the Sea Yaksha to the surrounding sea, from the sea to the sky, and from the sky to the entire sea, as if he were projecting his State of Mind onto the whole world, making the world resonate with him.

"Could this be his backup plan?!"

Before she could figure it out, a muffled firing sound came from afar, coming from the direction of another Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship.

A Clear Qi Bomb, trailing a pale blue flame, pierced the night sky and precisely struck the core area of the expanding aura of harmony Unity of Heaven and Man.

The Clear Qi Bomb exploded the moment it entered the air, releasing a mass of artificially concentrated immortal Immortal Qi.

That Immortal Qi was like a drop of cold water thrown into a hot oil pan; it triggered a violent reaction the moment it came into contact with the water. The expanding area of Unity of Heaven and Man, after being invaded by the Immortal Qi, began to shrink rapidly, become disordered, and disintegrate like a punctured balloon.

The Spiritual Qi that was originally gathering towards the Hu Mang in an orderly manner became chaotic due to the interference of the Immortal Qi. Some flowed back to the sea surface, some spread outwards in a disorderly manner, and some simply dissipated into the air.

Clearly, there were far more than just a few discerning people present.

The reason the remaining two ships didn't come to deal with the other side was more about monitoring the Dragon Vein, rather than because they were truly unable to suppress this "Sea Yaksha".

Seeing that this demonic Sea Yaksha seemed to be making unusual moves, they naturally had no intention of holding back.

After all, this isn't a one-on-one fight.

Besides, what normal person would want to take on a powerful warship like the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship in a one-on-one battle?

Is this guy sick?!

The instant the Clear Qi Bomb exploded, Hu Mang felt as if an invisible hammer had struck his chest; the connection he was establishing with heaven and earth was abruptly severed, as if a slowly opening passage had been slammed shut from the outside, trapping half of his body in the crack.

He groaned and coughed repeatedly, spurting warm liquid from deep in his throat, which turned into burning black flames in the sea breeze.

The dark red aura surrounding him flickered violently a few times, like a candle flame extinguished by the wind, before clearly dimming.

This is far more serious than the effects of the previous few Divine Thunder Cannon.

"Damn it, nobody told me that this Azure Mysterious Realm version of the Unity of Heaven and Man and Man would have such a strong backlash effect. I can barely maintain my Asura state."

He bent over, bracing himself with one hand on the sea surface, panting heavily.

With each breath, a blood-tinged Sha Qi of malevolence would emerge from his mouth, forming wisps of gray-black mist on the sea surface. He could feel the Sha Qi within his body rapidly dissipating. The Yao Qi and malevolent energy he had forcibly absorbed into his body became chaotic after being impacted by the Clear Qi Bomb. Not only did it no longer obey his commands, but it also ran rampant through his meridians, causing him additional burden.

In this experiment, he has basically figured out the limits of the "Eye of the Tribulation Dragon".

Even with countless Tribulation Qi to absorb and the support of the Ghost Dragon Vein as Law Power, the upper limit of a person with only a pair of "Dragon Eye" is only the Spirit Transformation.

A Pseudo Spirit Transformation cannot destroy a Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship!

"The opportunity has been created, should we give it a try? But the timing isn't right yet. If we act now, we might attract the attention of the true form of the Turbid Dragon."

However, Black Sha Asura could no longer maintain his form. Once he lost his Asura form, his combat power would be greatly reduced. At that point, let alone continuing the attack, it would be a question whether he could even escape unscathed.

Hu Mang's expression suddenly changed, and he looked towards the core of the Dragon Blood Tide.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhiying heard excited voices coming from behind her in her earphones.

"45% of the Dragon Vein's consciousness has been controlled; the dragon interception is complete. Now, we proceed to the final stage of slaying the dragon."

"We have already notified the energy system in the rear that ten Spiritual Qi power plants will be activated simultaneously. They will stimulate the resurgence of new Sea Dragon Vein, allowing the new Dragon Vein to devour the old Dragon Vein!"

There were some changes, but ultimately they did not affect the overall situation.

Lin Zhiying felt a sense of relief.

A dragon's roar echoed from the edge of the East Sea!

Unlike the previous roar of the Turbid Dragon, which was full of anger and resentment, this dragon's cry was clear and high-pitched, carrying a newborn sharpness, like the ringing sound of a newly forged sword being drawn for the first time. It pierced through the seawater, through the hull of the ship, and through the chest of everyone, making everyone's heart tremble.

The newly formed Sea Dragon Vein awakened completely at that moment.

A pure blue light, like the clearest seawater, shone from the depths of the sea. The light grew brighter and stronger, piercing through the churning Turbid Qi and Yin Qi, and dyeing the entire sea area with a pale blue halo.

A blue dragon-shaped phantom formed from pure Spiritual Qi slowly rose from the seabed—its body was not as large as the Turbid Dragon, but it was more solid and more agile. Every scale shimmered with a jewel-like luster, its whiskers swayed in the seawater, and its eyes held the fearless spirit of a newborn calf.

It lowered its head and looked at the Turbid Dragon that was declining.

Then, it opened its mouth and bit down hard.

The bite landed on the Turbid Dragon's neck, and with a sudden tug, tore off a large chunk of Dragon Vein flesh formed from Turbid Qi and Sha Qi.

The Turbid Dragon let out a deafening howl, a sound filled with pain, anger, and resentment. Its massive body thrashed violently on the seabed, churning up the surrounding seabed in chaos. Countless reefs were smashed, and countless silts were churned up. The entire sea seemed to tremble with its struggle.

The blood-red sky was filled with unprecedented strange phenomena.

A dense rain of blood fell from the clouds, carrying an indescribable stench.

A blood-red wind howled, carrying within its sound a terrifying wailing.

Dragons battle in the wilderness, their blood a dark yellow hue!

"The opportunity has finally come..." he whispered, his voice swallowed by the blood rain and sea breeze.

As a "Azure Mysterious Realm cultivator," Hu Mang was able to sense the Heavenly Secrets Evolution before anyone else present.

His eyes immediately flashed with a sharp light.

This is the moment he's been waiting for!

Something's not right!

Lin Zhiying, who had been keeping an eye on the Sea Yaksha, was the first to react and followed suit without hesitation.

In fact, her intuition was correct; the Hu Mang was not rushing towards the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship, but towards the sea surface where the Sea-Pacifying Divine Warship had initially been located.

What he wanted was never the ship itself, but the land beneath it!
