Grinding EXP From a Demon Hunting Ship
Chapter 195: Vast Sea Takes Action, the Divine Tree Descends
Canghai Mountain.
An ancient voice suddenly rang out.
It seemed to be a whisper, yet it echoed through the immortal city like a clap of thunder!
BZZZT!
Deep within Canghai Mountain.
The heavy stone door of a long-sealed Seclusion Chamber burst open with a BOOM!
An azure spiritual light shot out.
The light faded to reveal a figure standing on the wind, hovering proudly in the sky above Canghai Mountain!
He had the appearance of a middle-aged man, dressed in a black robe, his temples touched with white.
His brow radiated an air of absolute authority, the majesty of one who holds the power of life and death!
A spiritual pressure that seemed to connect heaven and earth howled forth!
The fluctuations of Magical Power at Crystal Perfection overflowed, circulating with a perfectly condensed and potent aura!
The living legend among Loose Cultivators of this sea region, a grand cultivator at Crystal Perfection!
Canghai!
...
In the inner city, amidst a pile of rubble.
"Cough, cough..."
The lightning around Sikong Xin was dim, his Daoist robe stained with blood.
Having fought against four third-tier beings while already injured, his wounds were extremely severe!
Even his Magic Power Crystal had been grievously damaged. With his foundation compromised, he could no longer fight.
When he saw Canghai appear, he was first overjoyed.
Then, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
"I’m sorry... Master. Your disciple has failed you..."
As Canghai’s head disciple, he knew that Canghai had been cultivating an Avoiding Tribulation Secret Skill!
This Secret Technique was quite miraculous. It could reduce the power of the Golden Core Thunder Tribulation, increasing the probability of advancing by ten to twenty percent.
However, its cultivation requirements were extremely strict.
It required a cultivator to remain in seclusion for several decades to succeed. Emerging midway would mean all previous efforts were wasted!
But now, the Beast Tide had broken through the city and was attacking Canghai Mountain.
This forced Canghai to emerge from his seclusion and clean up the mess... 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
...
Canghai’s expression was indifferent.
He looked out, surveying the invading enemies. The flow of his aura made the very air stagnate.
Vast, cold, and majestic!
These three words were the feeling Canghai’s gaze inspired in all who met it.
Intimidated by his presence, the four third-tier beings who had been aggressively charging up Canghai Mountain actually stopped in their tracks!
Canghai’s gaze flickered as he swept it over the three Demon Kings, speaking in a very calm tone.
"Mm, three Demon Pills..."
"And..."
His eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced at the ’Deer Demon’ that Navasen had transformed into. He chuckled.
"Oh?"
’This Body Refining method that transforms one into a great demon is a little interesting...’
Compared to Zhaoxia and Sikong Xin, Canghai’s eye was far more discerning!
He had seen through Navasen’s true nature.
"Moreover..."
Canghai’s brow twitched, and with a flick of his sleeve,
SWISH.
a crystal-clear skull, like a work of art, appeared in his palm.
He aimed it at Navasen, and a piercing, bloody light flared from the skull’s empty eye sockets.
"A member of the Yunshan Royal Family? And you’ve even cultivated to the third tier?"
"To think a remnant of Cloud Mountain still exists to this day... I wonder what the Cyan Profound Sect’s Scattered Shadow Hall is doing. Are they just freeloaders?"
Canghai’s attitude was nonchalant.
"You old villain, Canghai!"
Upon seeing the crystal skull, Navasen’s eyes immediately turned red!
From this skull, he could sense the bloodlines and soul fluctuations of many who were just like him!
Canghai had cruelly refined this crystal skull from the flesh, blood, and souls of the Yunshan Royal Family.
Its purpose was to identify members of the Yunshan Royal Family.
In order to... hunt them down and exterminate them!
"You deserve to die!" Navasen’s gaze was ice-cold.
If looks could kill, Canghai would have already been sliced into a thousand pieces by him.
Canghai was unconcerned. "Heh... How nostalgic. It’s that exact same look."
"During the Reclamation War, many natives wanted to kill me. They had the same look in their eyes..."
"But, to this day, I’m still alive and well."
"As for them, they all..."
"Died!"
Canghai’s voice suddenly turned chillingly cold, like a venomous snake striking from its hiding place in the bushes!
CHKT!
A long saber, gleaming with a frosty light, appeared in his hand!
The Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Saber!
Somehow, Canghai had already retrieved this magical treasure!
"If recalling a magical treasure didn’t take time, I wouldn’t have bothered with the chatter."
The saber’s light flashed!
Compared to the vast, ocean-blue light it produced when wielded by Bai Xiuying,
the light from the Dragon-slaying Saber’s true master, Canghai, seemed rather restrained.
But it was far more vicious!
SHING!
A flash of white light.
This light, like the sharp teeth of a wild beast, was pure, cruel, and blindingly white!
The four third-tier beings surrounding Canghai all retreated at once!
Navasen’s ten beastly claws swiped through the void as if playing a piano.
Then, with a single step, he vanished from his spot, entering the ’Reverse World’.
SCREEE!
The Evil Celestial Auk let out a sharp cry, and with a beat of its wings, it shot into the sky, retreating rapidly.
However, the Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon and the Thousand-legged Sea Demon lacked such mobility.
They could only choose... to block it head-on!
BZZZT!
The Thousand-legged Sea Demon summoned a tidal wave, its tentacles tangling together to form a shield in an attempt to block the attack.
The Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon stomped the ground, and a rocky light shone as layers of stone armor rapidly covered its body!
However...
"Dragon-slaying," Canghai said, his expression indifferent.
But the light from his saber was like a judgment of fate. With a single slash!
The hundreds of tangled tentacles of the Thousand-legged Sea Demon were severed like a bundle of yarn cut by scissors!
Light-blue blood burst forth, like a pale-blue rain!
And the Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon’s stone armor was like butter before a hot knife.
Wherever the Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Saber passed, the Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon’s armor, flesh, and bone were all shattered!
This tough-skinned Demon King was actually knocked back by Canghai’s single slash, stumbling badly!
So terrifying!
At that moment, the Evil Celestial Auk dove from the sky, accelerating with gravity, its long beak aimed straight at Canghai!
Navasen’s figure reappeared, his beastly claws thrusting out with vicious killing intent!
"Hmph..." Canghai snorted coldly.
CLANG!
The Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Saber swung back to defend, knocking the two third-tier beings away!
Spiritual Power surged, and the air thundered!
The four third-tier beings besieging Canghai were being suppressed by his overwhelming cultivation alone!
The more Navasen fought, the more frightened he became. Canghai’s strength was simply horrifying!
’Where is the Saintess?’
’Why isn’t she making a move?’
Just then, he realized the blind Saintess, who had been standing on the Rock-Crowned Crocodile Dragon’s head, was nowhere to be seen.
...
「Meanwhile.」
The inner city.
"Damn it... there are too many of these demonic beasts!"
"Close the spatial passage! Nine Luminaries True Yang Array, full power!"
The cultivators left to guard the Orbit site used the Nine Luminaries True Yang Array to fight off the demonic beasts and protect themselves.
However, there were still too many beasts.
Even the Nine Luminaries True Yang Array was struggling to deal with multiple second-tier demonic beasts!
But just then...
TZZZ.
The previously closed passage to the Reverse World opened once again.
SHH SHH SHH!
Black-and-red branches and leaves danced wildly, extending from the spatial passage like a torrential flood!
They pierced through numerous demonic beasts, draining their flesh and blood essence, turning them into desiccated corpses hanging from aerial roots!
"What is this? Is it also part of the Orbit?"
the freckled female Array Master asked, stunned.
At that moment, Zhong Qi’s body began to tremble violently.
"Huh? Mr. Zhong, what’s wrong with you?"
Zhong Qi was drenched in sweat, as if enduring immense pain. He struggled to open his lips, trying to say something.
"Mr. Zhong?" the female Array Master asked, confused.
Zhong Qi’s voice was too soft; she couldn’t hear him at all.
She leaned closer, and only then did she make out a single word from the sound, as faint as a buzzing mosquito.
"Run..."
RRRRIP.
The spatial passage began to expand violently!
In an instant, it had grown more than ten times in size, and it was still getting bigger!
A tide of black-and-red branches poured out of the passage into the mortal world, forming a sea of trees!
The Divine Tree...
has arrived!
