Chapter 2607: Each Has Their Heaven-Reaching Methods

However, what was annoying was that countless nether spirits hung from his body, his arms, and his trident; these things clearly had no physical form, yet to him each one weighed over a thousand jun, causing this treasured halberd that connected with his mind to suddenly become heavy and sinking in his grip.

Even the Sea Emperor himself was dissatisfied with the force of his thrust.

But something flashed in the darkness, abruptly bracing against his long halberd and knocking it outward. The two exchanged moves, the clang of metal on metal exceptionally piercing, like the roars of two weapons.

This power was not merely fierce, not merely overbearing; it not only possessed long-lasting resilient strength, but even carried a strange vibration. Like a giant bell struck violently, that vibration could shake a person's hand open, and the vibration the Sea Emperor endured while bracing against the opponent's weapon was more than a thousand times stronger than that.

What a strange power; his thick eyebrows lifted, and in an instant he exchanged three more moves with the opponent in the black mist.

A voice also came from the darkness:

"You are the king of the sea, a dignified True Immortal; why would you demean yourself to serve as a demon's lackey?"

A True Immortal was already the peak power of this world; He Lingchuan truly had not expected that a True Immortal could actually be hiding in the demon's Glazed Sea.

Just to guard the remnant body of Lord Yin Shen?

The commotion of their clash instead lessened; only occasional bursts of blue-white light exploded in the black mist. The two stood on the giant beast's head fighting fast with fast, their force instead converging inward.

The Sea Emperor could be certain the opponent's cultivation was inferior to his own, but the nature of the power they controlled was strange, making him unable to assess their true strength for the moment.

He himself commanded the power of seas and lakes; in the past, merely relying on force and momentum to suppress others could knock down more than half of his enemies.

This opponent in the darkness, however, displayed power that was both vast and ethereal, both condensed and supple, and could switch between different styles at will, making the Sea Emperor very uncomfortable fighting them.

This was different from the divine abilities of the Immortals he had encountered before; it was definitely not true power, at least mostly not.

Able to control novel power and also command karmic force, tsk!

In these years of his seclusion, has the outside world been turned upside down again?

The Sea Emperor finally found some amusement.

"Lackey? Ignorant junior!" He sneered, not even bothering to explain, "Come come, let me see just what interesting thing you are."

While freeing a hand, he patted his necklace and simultaneously tore off a cyan gemstone.

A small lamp on the necklace lit up.

This lamp was only the size of a tangerine, emitting a cyan-white cold light that made one feel a chill all over at a glance, and for some reason goosebumps rose straight up one's back.

But the black mist that no divine ability could illuminate actually retreated under this lamplight; even the nether spirits hiding in the darkness revealed fearful expressions, instantly releasing the Sea Emperor and retreating directly.

They still cursed him venomously without end, but no longer advanced.

This lamp was called the "Nether Lamp," originally belonging to the Demon Temple of the Atu Sea. The Atu Sea was also called the "Land of the Dead," once an ancient netherworld, and this kind of Nether Lamp was specially made to drive away evil spirits and light the way for the residents of the Land of the Dead.

As for that cyan gemstone, he crushed it in one grip, and it directly exploded in midair into a mass of pale cyan water vapor. Its effective coverage radius reached three zhang, and the water droplets were distributed extremely evenly.

These water droplets would be immune to the enemy's protective gang qi, sticking to the opponent like cowhide candy, impossible to shake off.

Even more absolute: every tiny water droplet that landed on a living thing would have its weight transform into a shocking nine thousand jin!

Think about it — a normal person within the vapor's range would be coated in at least thousands upon thousands of water droplets; that means a baseline weight of nearly ten million jin!

This is no different from suddenly having a great mountain pressed onto one's body; ninety-nine percent of Immortals would be pinned flat when caught off guard! As for other creatures, they would be silently pressed into meat paste.

The tiniest water droplet contains the most terrifying energy.

Each drop of water is called "Heavy Water," and the condensed weight of this cyan mist is also called the power of lakes and seas.

The opponent used the nether spirits of the blood-karma black mist to restrict his movements, did they not? The Sea Emperor would return the favor in kind, forcing the enemy to also be unable to lift a hand, making them kneel hard!

Once the Nether Lamp ignited, it indeed illuminated a pitch-black figure.

The opponent happened to be raising a spear to attack.

The Sea Emperor snorted coldly; his trident probed out, striking later but arriving first.

Without the blood-karma nether spirits weighing him down, and able to see the opponent clearly, the power and speed of his halberd strike were worlds apart from before!

The surrounding water vapor was driven by the spear's might, turning into tiny ice spines. Small as they were, each one had off-the-charts lethality.

The black-armored person opposite was already slowed by the Heavy Water formation; where could they dodge this strike? In an instant they were blasted apart, exploding with a bang into a sky full of blood mist!

The Sea Emperor's strike contained anger; it was bound to end in rivers of blood.

But the Sea Emperor did not feel satisfaction; killing the opponent this directly was a bit too easy.

Something's wrong.

The thought had just arisen when he felt wind at the back of his skull.

Bad; feint east, strike west — the enemy is already behind him.

The Sea Emperor turned with the momentum, fiercely lowering his trident, and swept diagonally straight behind him!

On land this would be called "autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves"; on the sea surface, it is "raging waves rolling a light boat."

The terrifying qi wave was already visible to the naked eye, surging toward the water wall behind, splitting it open in an instant.

This is the rear wave of a tsunami; the wave wall is thirty zhang wide, harder than metal and stone. With the Sea Emperor's power, throwing his halberd to sever water was effortless, so this wave wall split from the middle, the gap as neat as a sliced cake.

The Sea Emperor also saw clearly — the one who ambushed him was a two-zhang-tall metal puppet —

Jin Jia Copper General.

This horizontal sweep cleanly cut it in two at the waist.

But he secretly cried foul, because three zhang away a shadowy figure seemed to flash by and vanish.

"Damn it all!"

The Sea Emperor instantly realized things were bad.

The opponent had been hiding nearby all along, also affected by the Heavy Water formation, their movements and divine abilities restricted, but his horizontal sweep just now had smashed the water wall behind him, seemingly creating an opportunity for the opponent!

Now, they've gotten past.

Below the water wall is Lord Yin Shen's main root, also the thing he must focus on guarding.

The Sea Emperor no longer cared about his mount; with a great leap he directly crashed into the water wall.

The moment he entered the water, his figure vanished from the spot, almost teleporting to the giant kelp forest below!

The laws of the Glazed Sea minor world do not permit flight, but in water, no one is faster than him.

At this moment the seawater surged back in a thousand layers; the entire kelp forest was swaying wildly, as if encountering a Category 15 hurricane.

The Sea Emperor's gaze swept over the kelp forest, and with a light sweep of his left hand through the seawater, he could sense everything brushed by every current.

This is his innate divine ability: within a certain range, without relying on any living creature, flowing seawater becomes an extension of his senses.

Intimidated by his majesty, few living beings dare approach this stretch of water, so in the Sea Emperor's perception, the anomaly appearing beneath the giant roots of the kelp forest stands out starkly!
