Chapter 2846: Something Is Coming from Behind

But no matter how careful they were subjectively, they could not fight these strange chains, and one by one they were dragged into the deep sea in endless fear.

When one was dragged away, Xuan Du happened to swim past him, knowing his talent was called Irresistible Force, which could specially strengthen a treasure blade in a short time, cutting most fine gold alloys as easily as slicing tofu.

Xuan Du had personally seen him cut through other immortals' magic tools, and even three in a short time.

But this heavenly demon took out his own life-bound magic tool and added Irresistible Force to it, yet it only made the chains clang and chopped off a large piece of red strange worms, while the chains themselves suffered no damage at all!

These chains truly cannot be cut, blasted, smashed, or shaken off, like monsters that only appear in nightmares.

Before, the Goddess of Phantom Music used monsters in dreams to kill people, but now she herself has become someone else's target.

Especially the Sea Emperor Xuan Du received special attention. Other heavenly demons at most got one chain entangling them, but he was assigned five chains. No matter which direction he advanced, five chains came from all directions to sandwich him, their speed not slower than his.

Xuan Du made a quick decision, turning his head and rushing toward He Lingchuan, throwing the other heavenly demons' cries for help to the back of his mind. In the chaos, he thought clearly: only by quickly subduing and controlling He Lingchuan could he resolve the immediate danger.

He also realized these chains should be some kind of great formation. They had indeed stepped into the opponent's trap with one foot, so smoothly.

As for his approach, He Lingchuan merely swam symbolically backward twice, holding a long seaweed with one hand to avoid being swept away by the current. Besides that, he seemed not intending to fight back, not even drawing his weapon, just reaching out to point behind Xuan Du: "Hey, your opponent is over there."

Seeing his nonchalant look, Xuan Du's first reaction was: This guy is bluffing again.

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

The water flow behind changed.

As a master of water control, Xuan Du could keenly sense the change in water flow. This strong pressure from the reverse current could only be caused by a colossal creature—

and its swimming speed was astonishingly fast.

Small size means agility, large size means sluggishness—this is basically an iron law of aquatic life, yet the thing behind him broke it.

Even stranger, before He Lingchuan pointed, Xuan Du had not noticed the existence of that thing behind him at all!

He was the Sea Emperor; sensing anomalies in the water was as natural as breathing.

How could something approach him unnoticed?

Xuan Du hurriedly turned his head—

Even someone like him, accustomed to seeing deep-sea giants, couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle.

At some point, a huge shadow appeared obliquely behind, almost darkening the light of this entire water area.

In Xuan Du's impression, only the migration of giant fish schools in the deep sea could rival it.

As for a single biological individual, apart from beings like Qian Huan True Person and Yin Shen Jun, where could one grow to such a size?

Only then did he hear the Goddess of Phantom Music's warning: "Be careful, something is coming from behind."

That is to say, the heavenly demons behind had also just noticed this shadow.

It appeared very abruptly.

Xuan Du originally thought this was a monster like the Dragon King Whale, after all, what strange and wonderful creatures don't exist in the deep sea? The sea clan he governed and led also had no shortage of rare colossal beings.

But when Xuan Du stared closely, he found this thing only resembled a large fish in shape, yet had no eyes, no ears, no mouth, no gills, not even fins—any organ of a living thing it lacked.

So could this thing still be a living being? Unless it, like Yin Shen Jun, was a collective aggregation.

However, this idea might be somewhat plausible, because Xuan Du discovered the monster's surface was also covered with dark red strange worms, just like those chains.

Right, speaking of chains, this monster's body was draped with dozens of dark red chains. Also unknown why it made no sound when it approached earlier.

Only after personally seeing Hun Dun appear did He Lingchuan finally relax. It seemed he had guessed right again this time.

He was not skilled in dream combat; wanting to defeat the Lord of Dream Kingdom, he could not do it alone.

So from the beginning he had planned to borrow strength!

During the more than ten years when the Great Vase was closed, he could dream; but since Pan Long World reopened for him, he lost this privilege. Once asleep, or even sometimes just entering meditation, his soul would be pulled back by the Great Vase to Pan Long World, unable to dream other dreams or go to other dream realms!

That is to say, as long as He Lingchuan could find a way to make the Goddess of Phantom Music pursue his soul, trying to seize it as she did with the Earth Mother, the Great Vase could not stand by and would surely act!

The possibility of this idea succeeding was not small, since there was a precedent.

When he investigated the missing courier case in Chi Yan State, he had suffered Zhong Sun Mou's scheming, and the other side's curse master sent a nightmare to come at night, wanting to kill him silently in his sleep. The result: the nightmare drilled into Pan Long World, and before it could pose a real threat to He Lingchuan, Hun Dun swallowed it whole.

The Great Vase usually does not actively provoke or attack others, but if someone with no eyes dares to intrude into its territory, it will not be polite.

This arrogance of the vase, He Lingchuan felt he could exploit.

Additionally, Ling Jin Bao also mentioned that he had once mistakenly entered the Mao He trade route in Pan Long World, even seeing He Lingchuan leading a team to kill people, only he didn't recognize He Lingchuan at that time.

During that period, the Great Vase was rapidly evolving, and Pan Long World was sometimes unstable.

He Lingchuan used to often hear desert travelers staying overnight at the Pan Long ruins when he was the son of the city guard in Heishuicheng, and then in the middle of the night suddenly hear noisy voices, even as if walking into a strange city, strolling, shopping, chatting with people, only to find the next day he had dreamed.

This shows that the two worlds occasionally connect.

Don't forget, recently Hun Dun's impact on the Pan Long Secret Realm was especially vigorous and fierce, its posture being to not stop until the secret realm was shattered. If the owner of this Pan Long Secret Realm were to compromise a little—

Well, there should be a chance.

But the appearance of the Sea Emperor Xuan Du was purely accidental……by joy!

With so many heavenly demons already dealt with, the Great Vase certainly wouldn't mind spending a bit more effort to eat another true immortal, right?

He Lingchuan had confidence in the vase.

At this moment, the Goddess of Phantom Music, after several consecutive dodges, finally could not avoid it and was also entangled by the chains. Compared to other heavenly demons, she was already quite agile, but in the deep sea she was merely a somewhat stronger prey.

She shouted loudly to Sea Emperor Xuan Du: "Save me!"

But Xuan Du himself was hard-pressed, where would he find the energy to save her?
