Zhao Longbo rushed out of the sea in a horrified expression.

He was soaking wet, his massive body tumbling in mid-air, dark red Longbo Essence Blood seeping from his pores and spreading in the seawater.

However, when he looked down at his palm, he noticed that the color of the Essence Blood was changing.

The original dark red, lava-like Longbo Essence Blood had partially transformed into a turbid, dark green corpse blood, flowing slowly through his veins like polluted water.

Part of his prized Longbo Essence Blood had actually turned into corpse blood!

It should be noted that no matter if his three souls and seven spirits were destroyed by a strange entity, or if his hands and feet were cut off, Zhao Longbo would not panic, because as long as he had the "Longbo Bloodline", he could recover quickly.

But this time, he was clearly flustered.

Because that huge, strange, fleshy conch at the bottom of the sea was able to harm his very essence.

He looked around and realized that he had now escaped the Ghost Haunt, and the "Sea Yaksha" was silently watching him from a short distance away.

This made his mood sink again.

If he could sense the "Fragment of the Black God of Wealth," there's no reason why the Buddha Woman and Immortal Woman He couldn't.

Moreover, given their Nascent Soul level speed, they should have arrived long ago.

However, neither of the two women arrived.

Either they were held back by something, or they never intended to come at all.

Although they were all from the same ship at the beginning, what good people could be on a pirate ship?

Zhao Longbo had already decided to leave; he no longer cared about the fat man's life or death.

He's more concerned about his own life or death now.

However, while he wanted to leave, some things were unwilling to let him go.

A huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea.

The whirlpool seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand, the seawater swirling and churning wildly, as if it had transformed into a mask that stretched as far as the eye could see.

And this mask looks strangely familiar.

Zhao Longbo immediately realized who it was.

It's that ancient corpse without facial features!

This "sea mask" must not be allowed to take shape, or we will die!

The Longbo Bloodline was frantically reminding him.

Longbo the Giant exhaled two thick plumes of white smoke from his nose, and his huge fishing rod emitted billowing heat as he plunged it into the sea without hesitation, stirring it counterclockwise. This time, stirring it was even more difficult than stirring up the Ghost Haunt.

"Quite clever, knowing that the 'Faceless Sea Lord's' face cannot be formed."

The Hu Mang muttered to itself.

Through the memories of the Ghost Dragon Vein, he learned the names and experiences of the three sea monsters who had been awakened by the other party.

Faceless Sea Lord, Whale Marquis, Withered Tide Snail Mother

Among them, the faceless ancient corpse was the Faceless Sea Lord.

The origins of these three monsters are all mysterious.

For example, the Faceless Sea Lord is not actually the corpse of a person; to be precise, it is the corpse of a city transformed into a corpse.

In the memories of the Ghost Dragon Vein, countless years ago, a massive ancient storm occurred in the Nanyang. The people of a city sank into a giant whirlpool, and all the corpses were continuously refined and melted at the bottom of the whirlpool. The faces of everyone were torn off by the whirlpool. The storm lasted for an unknown period of time. When the storm disappeared, the Faceless Sea Lord sank to the bottom of the sea.

Once the underwater currents become chaotic enough, the Faceless Sea Lord will emerge, and a gigantic human face will appear on the surface of the sea. All living beings on this sea will lose their faces.

The ghost ship beneath Hu Mang's feet reappeared. Although protected by the Ghost Dragon Vein, he shouldn't need to worry about this "Faceless Curse."

But better safe than sorry, he was prepared to escape at any time by using Yin-Yang Passage and the dead.

As for hiding at the bottom of the sea, don't be ridiculous, there's something even more ferocious there.

Unexpectedly, as the fishing rod in Zhao Longbo's hand emitted a rich celestial light, the huge whirlpool in the sea gradually began to subside as the celestial light swept through.

Hu Mang frowned as he watched this scene. The celestial light emanating from this fishing rod was even more intense than that of his Immortal Weapon, Shattering Thunder.

Although his Immortal Weapon spear would probably be just an ordinary spear in the upper realm, it was still a product of the Azure Mysterious Realm. So what's with this fishing rod?

Does Earth Star also have some kind of connection with the upper realms?

What is the relationship between the Endless Sea, the Saha Continent, and the Upper Realm?

After destroying the whirlpool on the sea surface, Zhao Longbo gritted his teeth and took out a bead that shimmered with a watery light, then threw it into the sea.

As soon as the bead fell into the sea, the sea instantly became calm and undisturbed.

The Hu Mang, which maintains Unity of Heaven and Man, noticed that even the undercurrents on the seabed had stopped moving!

The legendary Sea-Calming Divine Pearl?

This guy really has a lot of good stuff on him!

However, Hu Mang did not make any rash moves.

Even if "Faceless Sea Lord" is subdued, there are still two others.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Longbo was panting heavily and trying to expel the corpse blood through his Longbo Bloodline, the sky darkened.

The Ghost Haunt didn't disappear on its own; rather, it was taken over by another entity.

Hu Mang had no intention of competing with the other party and allowed himself to be manipulated.

Zhao Longbo looked up and saw a corpse whale, several times larger than himself, descending from the sky, its surface covered with ghostly arms.

Those arms, like a forest, covered the surface of the corpse whale. Each one had bluish-gray skin and twisted knuckles, and slowly writhed in the air like countless tentacles.

On the back of the corpse whale, the noble man who had just appeared had his lower body merged with the whale, resembling a half-human, half-whale monster, and was grinning savagely at Zhao Longbo.

The corpse whale, mixed with Ghost Haunt, crashed directly onto the Longbo giant. This time, even the Sea-Calming Divine Pearl couldn't withstand it, and a huge wave surged up once again, sending both monsters crashing into the sea.

"Holy crap, to be able to drape oneself in Ghost Haunt aura, this ghost is incredibly fierce!"

The Old Third had somehow gotten closer, and although his right arm was still wrapped in a thick bandage, that didn't stop him from watching the drama unfold.

At that moment, his mouth dropped open.

It should be understood that the Ghost Haunt itself possesses the powerful Underworld characteristic of being immune to the Principle of physics. If it covers the body surface, it means that most attacks will be ineffective against this Corpse Whale.

He'd never seen a Ghost Haunt act like this before.

"She's quite fierce."

Whale Marquis, an ancient king of the Nanyang, lost his warship and his entire army in a naval battle. He was buried in a trench with a giant whale, and his remains became intertwined with the whale's skeleton, evolving into a monster.

The biggest difference between Nanyang, or overseas, and Heavenly Gate is that while most areas overseas are also low- Spiritual Qi environments, the seabed is a standard high- Spiritual Qi environment.

People die at sea all the time, and many dead things sink to the bottom of the sea and gestate there for hundreds or thousands of years, which can easily give rise to some terrible monsters.

The only good news is that these monsters are mostly active at sea and rarely move on land.

However, this is not absolute. The Mist Tide Secret Pavilion, one of the dominant forces in the Nanyang, is said to have been formed by several sea monsters that had awakened their self-awareness.
