Chapter 2608

It's him, the intruder is right there.

For He Lingchuan, fighting a peerless powerhouse like the Sea Emperor while also breaking through a water wall stronger than a head-on wave is nearly impossible.

The effect of the Dark Heaven Canopy on the Sea Emperor was unexpectedly good, indicating this bastard is also steeped in blood karma, having committed deeds that both gods and men resent, thus suffering strong backlash, which weakened his attack on He Lingchuan.

Even so, He Lingchuan felt his overwhelming strength after just a few exchanges.

Truly living up to his renowned name as the Sea Emperor.

After discerning his opponent's identity, He Lingchuan revised his plan. Even the desperate counterattack suddenly turned hostile, revealing that the Spirit Essence Palace had discovered he was an impostor, so pursuers must already be on the way.

Time waits for no one; lingering in a stalemate with this strongman would bring no benefit.

Taking advantage of the Sea Emperor's unfamiliarity with his peculiar power, He Lingchuan unleashed several key divine abilities in succession, aiming to break through his blockade.

Yet the emergence of the Heavy Water Barrier still caught him off guard.

He dared not use the Soul-Capturing Mirror to draw away the heavy water, for the Sea Emperor must possess water-control abilities; once he detected abnormal disturbances in the water mist here, he would know He Lingchuan's hiding place.

Moreover, thanks to the Jinglong Battle Armor nearly enveloping his entire body tightly, the heavy water adhering to its cold exterior plating was not deemed a "living thing," so it did not affect the armor.

But over a dozen water droplets still seeped into the gaps of his arm guards, and He Lingchuan instantly felt the crushing weight of Mount Tai pressing down!

Fortunately, the superposition of the Dark Heaven Canopy and the Mirage Horn still allowed him to temporarily conceal himself in darkness.

The Golden Armor Bronze General could launch a surprise attack precisely because it, too, is not a living entity, enabling free movement within the Heavy Water Barrier. He Lingchuan discovered this trait of the barrier from the Jinglong Battle Armor and immediately applied it to his own tactics.

The Sea Emperor struck backward, cleaving the high wall of the rear wave, and He Lingchuan instantly used the Displacement and Shape-Shifting Technique to teleport there.

Although this divine ability is useful, there cannot be any substantial obstruction between him and his target.

The wave wall itself is a substantial obstruction spanning thirty zhang in width.

After the Sea Emperor helped him carve an opening in the wave wall, he could pass through.

Even better, after He Lingchuan fell into the sea, the heavy water clinging to his battle armor was washed away, and its effect naturally ceased to exist.

At this moment, all he needed to do was execute a single word: "Charge!"

The main body of the Hidden God Lord lies right beneath his feet—Charge!

The main root of the seaweed forest is even more massive than what he saw with the "Yang Pass Way," surpassing even the trunk of the Precious Tree King in thickness, rooted in the seabed and spreading upward to the surface like a seabed giant tree!

All the seaweed in this water region originated from its differentiation and propagation, just like a banyan tree growing into a forest through countless aerial roots extending outward.

He Lingchuan, a living man, lying on the main root of the seaweed forest, is as insignificant as an ant clinging to a giant tree.

Extending one hand to press against the main root, he could feel an overwhelming surge of vitality beneath his palm.

This is the true form of the Hidden God Lord; even with only half its remnant body remaining, it can make all beings pale in comparison.

He Lingchuan looked up, and the seawater above shimmered with light, perfectly revealing the silhouette of Fuyu.

Its true form has arrived—no longer a mere avatar.

Several unnamed colossal creatures also appeared, all ferocious sea monsters existing only in the deepest abyss, each rivaling Fuyu in size.

He Lingchuan did not know these were several heads torn from the Sea Emperor's necklace and transformed. After defeating these sea monsters, he sealed them within his own necklace, thereafter enslaving them to fight for him.

The Sea Emperor deployed them, having truly flown into a rage, intending to tear He Lingchuan limb from limb.

Thereafter, a ship also appeared on the sea surface. He Lingchuan could just make out the foam and spray kicked up around its hull.

The pursuers from the Spirit Essence Palace have also arrived—how swift!

Indeed, they likely arrived together with Fuyu's main body.

At this moment, the surrounding seawater churned, yet He Lingchuan saw no shadow, only feeling an terrifying pressure.

The Sea Emperor has arrived!

He Lingchuan exhaled only a single bubble, carrying within it one character:

"Seize!"

Success or failure hinges on this single move.

Over so many years, the Great Square Vessel has never faltered at critical moments. But the Hidden God Lord's body before him is simply too vast, far surpassing any treasure he had ever fed the Great Square Vessel in the past.

Whether it can be devoured or not—he can only trust in the appetite of the Great Square Vessel.

The divine bone necklace clutched in his palm suddenly erupted with unprecedented suction power!

Right under the eyes of immortals and demons alike, the most inconceivable scene unfolded:

The main root of the seaweed forest, the magnificent source of the seabed giant forest even larger and more splendid than the Precious Tree King, vanished with a sudden "BIU"!

That was not enough; the seaweed forest, which had been freely swaying in the ocean, now, in the manner of sweeping away scattered clouds by the wind……was forcibly sucked away!

The rapidly retracted seaweed forest dragged the water flow, centering on He Lingchuan, forming a colossal funnel-shaped vortex.

If immortals and demons were on land, they might still steady themselves, but they are aboard a ship, with no leverage above or below, drifting helplessly. Even those several colossal sea beasts were tossed east and west by the incredibly strong seaweed fronds and currents, unable to stabilize their forms—let alone remain still, which became a luxury.

That thing below—where is the humanity? Clearly, it is a humanoid black hole!

Fuyu, after great effort stabilizing his form, saw dozens of colossal seaweed strands sweep over from behind, entangling him and rushing forward at breakneck speed.

He shuddered, a chill running down his back, and employed a divine technique to shrink his form before escaping the tangle of seaweed.

Should he himself be ensnared, dragged into the humanoid black hole ahead, he would not know what fate awaited!

Only the Sea Emperor possesses the ability to pierce through this great vortex.

But by the time he rushed in, that person had already vanished simultaneously with the black hole.

The turmoil in the sea persisted for a long time; the seabed silt was likewise churned upward, the entire water region turned turbid and opaque, visibility extremely low.

Fragments of broken seaweed leaves floated everywhere, along with the corpses of fish.

Yet the architect of all this seemed to have vanished.

"Seek!" The furious voice of Sea King Xuandu echoed in the hearts of every immortal and demon: "The Cloud Gate to the outside world has already been sealed; he must still be in the Liuli Sea!"

He would absolutely not allow such a petty person to escape from under his very nose!

That bastard fundamentally cannot defeat him; he merely possesses some slippery divine abilities and tricks.

Even if he had to overturn the Liuli Sea inside out, he would find this person and crush him to death!

……

Dozens of li away, the Earth Mother Plains.

The Panlong Secret Realm was just as lively as when He Lingchuan had just left, the Cangyan people defending the city and fighting the immortals and demons of the Lingyun Palace with great relish.

If the immortals and demons of the Lingyun Palace fell outside the city, they would face the sea beasts of the Pangze Ruins; if they fell inside the city, the Black Dragon Totem of Panlong City would show no mercy; and no matter where they were, they had to endure the storm of attacks from the Earth Mother and the Cangyan immortals.

After Dong Rui rushed back to the Panlong Secret Realm, he also joined the battlefield at the first moment, fighting several great demon puppets with great relish.

He couldn't help but sigh: "These fellows are truly troublesome to deal with."
