The seawater remained as clear as ever.

Reflecting the scattered starlight in the sky.

Xu Lai swallowed a drop of Essence Blood gifted by Snowflower in advance, rapidly diving down.

Ten feet.

Hundred feet.

Thousand feet.

Ten thousand feet.

Until reaching an unknown number of tens of thousands of feet deep, finally approaching the unsettling presence that troubled Xu Lai.

His Divine Sense's perception range was limited.

Xu Lai only knew the thing before him was uncertain yet massive, possibly towering around ten thousand feet high.

"Woo—"

A deeply eerie wailing sound rose from the seabed.

Suddenly, the seabed of the Boundless Sea lit up, like daylight.

Xu Lai saw a giant luminous jellyfish suspended at the bottom of the sea, radiating a scalding light.

Xu Lai's breath halted, his brain filled with blood in fury, clenching his fists uncontrollably.

Those brilliant scorching light sources were the tentacles of the colossal jellyfish, countless in number and densely spreading.

And within the tentacles.

Were countless souls!

"Woo—"

The jellyfish's immense body was transparent.

Xu Lai saw, in its central belly, a colorful lake, with a broken bridge within, along with countless souls showing no expression or emotion.

That was the Samsara Sea.

This vile creature.

Actually swallowed the Samsara Sea!

Xu Lai's heart surged with killing intent toward Yuan Ying once again.

In close proximity, Xu Lai could perceive this colossal jellyfish of unknown kind, formed by devouring most of the Samsara Sea.

The innocent souls that suffered were countless.

"Kill!"

Without much thought.

Xu Lai formed his fingers into a sword, slashing down with the first style of Qingfeng Sword Intent.

The surface of the Boundless Sea remained calm.

Beneath the sea, a storm raged, currents surged, the sword intent matched its master's mood, becoming exceptionally fierce.

The sword intent fell upon the colossal jellyfish's body, yet not a scratch appeared, instead, the first style of Qingfeng Sword Intent got absorbed.

Xu Lai's heart sank.

He had never seen such a massive jellyfish, perhaps it wasn't a species from the Immortal Domain, but came from The Other Shore?

Thirty-six Cloud Water Rust Characters.

Xu Lai and his wife Ruan Tang had deciphered only ten, with five already taken away by others.

There might be cultivators who deciphered the remaining twenty-six characters.

If this jellyfish indeed came from The Other Shore, it would be difficult to deal with.

"Damn."

Sikong Jiu's voice came.

He too dove into the Boundless Sea, finding Xu Lai.

Once the Emperor Realm, Sikong Jiu ranted in anger: "Yuan Ying is insane, truly insane! He raised such a thing, damn him!"

To see Sikong Jiu, usually timid, infuriated to curse non-stop, showed his anger at the moment.

"You know?"

Xu Lai looked deeply at Sikong Jiu.

This guy indeed hid some means, without swallowing Snowflower's Lifebound Essence Blood, he couldn't dive to such depths.

Despite Sikong Jiu's boundary not fully restored, without a complete body, he arrived here effortlessly.

But Sikong Jiu had no coffin by his side, suggesting Ruan Lan was transferred to a safe place before entering the sea.

Or perhaps.

The Fourth Divine General Yan Chunfeng, guarding the Southern Immortal Domain, had arrived?

"In the First Era appeared a mysterious ferocious beast, a hundred thousand feet jellyfish, able to swallow all stars in a great domain in one bite. In ten days, it devoured half of the Western Immortal Domain."

"Most Dead Realms in the Western Immortal Domain formed this way."

"Back then, sixteen Emperor Realm joined forces to tackle this beast, only one survived, that was Tian Gui Yuan Yin."

Sikong Jiu's face shadowed: "Yet he claimed it was killed..."

Back then a hundred thousand feet.

Now ten thousand feet.

This suggests the ferocious jellyfish beast from a cycle ago was suppressed and sealed by Yuan Ying, just recently released, still in growth or recovery phase.

Xu Lai asked: "From The Other Shore?"

"Uncertain, but the Immortal Domain doesn't produce such things."

Sikong Jiu said seriously: "The Supreme Emperor, don't act rashly, this jellyfish can devour everything around, ordinary attacks can't harm it, instead will strengthen it."

"Ruan Lan did us a great favor."

Xu Lai exhaled a mouthful of murky air.

Without Ruan Lan, neither he nor Sikong Jiu would look to the Boundless Sea in the Southern Immortal Domain, unable to discover the jellyfish beast still in its growth phase.

Yuan Ying wouldn't give up this trump card that could shock the Immortal Domain once formed.

It's all indeed coincidence.

"Yuan Ying old turtle calculated well."

Sikong Jiu cursed while circling around the colossal jellyfish, suddenly recalling something, sucking in a cold breath:

"The Supreme Emperor, how many Emperor's Corpses in the Samsara Sea..."

"Didn't count carefully, but quite a few."

Xu Lai's expression gradually turned serious: "Three were commanded by Quasi-Emperor of Celestial Clan to attack Heavenly Court, currently in Heaven Beyond Heaven, the rest unclear."

"Trouble, Corpse Emperor Dongfang Youming might be among them."

Sikong Jiu scratched his head.

The colossal jellyfish's nourishment included the Samsara Sea formed by the will of Heavenly Dao, countless souls, and numerous Emperor's Corpses and dormant Emperor Realm.

If fully devoured.

Could it recover to peak strength, or even stronger...?

Sikong Jiu's scalp tingled more with thought: "The Supreme Emperor, what to do now, we surely aren't his match."

"Need to find a way, to rescue the souls within."

"Can't save them."

Sikong Jiu shook his head repeatedly, any attack was ineffective against the jellyfish beast, instead it nourished it.

Knowing how to suppress and seal the jellyfish beast, the sixteen Emperor Realm died, leaving only Yuan Ying.

This.

Is a dead end!

"Must save."

Xu Lai's tone was calm.

Sikong Jiu was taken aback, The Supreme Emperor's words weren't about whether could be saved, but must save.

"The Supreme Emperor, those souls can't reincarnate, have no connection with you or me, the karma debt belongs to Yuan Ying."

Sikong Jiu said solemnly: "But rescuing them may lead to trouble, implicating all Immortal Domain beings."

"The Supreme Emperor, please reconsider!"

"..."

Xu Lai closed his eyes.

How could he not understand this reasoning?

To prevent Immortal Domain souls from crashing against the Three Realm Gates, he personally laid down the Zhoutian Star Fighting Formation.

Those souls, indeed couldn't be saved.

Even if he died, couldn't save them.

But must save.

At least try.

Xu Lai stepped forward, gradually approaching the colossal jellyfish.

The closer the distance, the more oppressive the presence of its massive body, the ferocious beast's boundary aura comparable to Emperor Realm.

Even stronger than Great Emperor Jin Shi, formed by incense.

The nearest jellyfish tentacle, within its transparent tentacle crowded hundreds of millions of souls of various races, gradually absorbed by the jellyfish tentacle.

Then.

Continued with the next batch of souls.

The majority of the souls had no consciousness, muddled, yet Xu Lai still spotted one somewhat unique soul.
