Chapter 519: Sea of Demons and Monsters!

~15 min read 2,903 words

On the calm sea, Luo Chen, who had changed into a brand-new black tight-fitting outfit, lacked some of the demeanor of a high-ranking Daoist priest and had a bit more of the chivalrous hero's spirit.

Stepping in the middle of the flying boat, Luo Chen perceived the sailing speed, which was one-third slower compared to flying in the air.

But he did not choose to fly.

The reason, naturally, was very simple.

Luo Chen looked back and saw, in the direction he came from, a group of white seabirds with huge bodies circling in the sky.

This was a group of white birds whose origin he couldn't name, mostly 1st-stage, and not lacking 2nd-stage, from their appearance, they were somewhat similar to the albatross of the mortal world.

Especially, in the center of the seabird group, there was vaguely a 3rd-stage demonic beast aura permeating and spreading, shrouding the entire seabird group.

"I don't know if this group of seabirds was specially cultivated by the demonic cultivators of Mount Mount Cangwu to guard the house and protect that teleportation array."

"If it is, I will fully activate the Hidden Array and leave quietly, and they shouldn't be able to discover me."

"If not..."

Luo Chen's heart sank.

Just arriving at this place, he encountered a group of demonic beasts led by a 3rd-stage Demon King, which showed how dangerous this place was.

He now urgently needed to meet living people to inquire about the situation here.

With a light stomp of his foot, under the blessing of magic power, the flying boat sailed even faster on the sea surface.

Yet, under the blessing of the Hidden Array, it didn't show the slightest trace.

Even if the seabirds had sharp eyes, looking from afar, they only thought it was the waves rising and falling on the sea, just an extra white line.

Sun rises and moon floats, representing that a day and a night had passed.

He didn't know how far he had sailed, or if the direction was correct.

Luo Chen just relied on a feeling in his heart, staying away from the directions that made him feel dangerous, and moved forward in a straight line in one direction.

Morning mist shrouded, faint coolness soaked his body.

Luo Chen took out a gourd from his storage ring and poured a mouthful into his mouth.

The sweet liquid had both the mellowness of fine wine and the fragrance of fruit.

Hanging the gourd on his waist, Luo Chen sighed.

"What a pity!"

This monkey wine was specially collected for him from the wild mountains by a demonic bird from Mount Mount Cangwu who had learned alchemy from him.

It was at the level of 3rd-stage spiritual wine!

It was most suitable for restoring magic power.

For Nascent Soul cultivators, it didn't count for much, but for Golden Core cultivators, it was an undeniable good thing.

It could also be counted as that demonic bird's apprenticeship gift.

He had originally wanted to take out a bottle and give it to Tian Tian Yezi to taste, as a thank you for refining his life-bound magic treasure.

But he didn't expect that incident to happen.

"He has no fate to enjoy it, so it can only be cheaper for me."

Luo Chen shook his head.

Divine sense spread out, searching for living creatures nearby according to the previous practice.

With his divine sense strength after breaking through to the Golden Core 3rd Layer, after fully spreading out, it already exceeded the five-hundred-mile distance of the early Golden Core stage.

Once spread, the straight-line distance was a full seven hundred miles.

Cooperating with a pair of spiritual eyes, Luo Chen took in the situation ahead.

In just an instant, Luo Chen's eyebrows twitched.

"Finally saw living people!"

"However, their situation is probably not very good."

"In that case, good!"

With a thought, the flying boat under his feet soared like an arrow leaving the bow, the sea breeze stirred, slapping the smile on Luo Chen's face, which was so brilliant.

On the vast sea, a huge fishing boat twenty feet long lay across the calm sea surface.

Except for those on night watch, most people were still in sweet sleep.

But everyone's deep sleep was instantly broken by a sharp warning.

"Enemy attack!"

In an instant, everyone was awakened.

Because they often encountered emergencies while working at sea, most people slept in their clothes.

Once awake, except for a group of strong mortal men who were somewhat panicked, the rest of the cultivators were still quite calm.

Under their command, everyone began to act in an orderly manner.

The leader rushed out of the cabin, holding a white long banner, and blurted out: "What enemy?"

Immediately, a panicked night-watch cultivator said: "It's the Blue-Ringed Sea Snake!"

The black-faced man raised his eyebrows: "Are there any Blue-Ringed Giant-Toothed Sea Snakes inside?"

Blue-Ringed Giant-Toothed Sea Snakes are also Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes.

But the level of the two is completely different.

The Blue-Ringed Sea Snake that has grown giant teeth is already at the 2nd-stage demonic beast level; a single one is fine, but if there are many, he can't protect this boat full of people!

The night-watch cultivator shook his head repeatedly: "Haven't seen any Giant-Toothed Sea Snakes yet."

The black-faced man glared at him: "Then what are you panicking about?"

"Quantity!"

The night-watch cultivator pointed in horror at the deck, at the deep sea under the light that was neither bright nor dark.

"What about the quantity?"

"Can't count them!"

The black-faced man glared at him fiercely, then walked to the deck and spread his spiritual sense.

Just once, his face turned pale instantly.

Without the slightest hesitation, he roared loudly.

"First Mate, Second Mate, activate the array!"

"Third Mate, distribute the spirit-attached magic tools to the mortal crew!"

"Little Seventeen, gather everyone, everyone has it, prepare for battle!"

"Cheng Ji, hoist the sails, speed up and return!"

One sentence after another, orderly and calm, roared out from the black-faced man's mouth.

The originally panicked crew instantly began to act.

Black light curtains spread from the edge of the deck, layers of black mist shrouded it, and from time to time, ferocious monsters poked their heads out from the black mist.

And those mortal crew members, in panic, also took knives, swords, and sea forks from the cultivators with excitement, and as they injected internal energy, those ancient knives, swords, and sea forks emitted hazy light.

Not only that, on the deck, three giant sails were hoisted, intending to start.

Seeing his orders being faithfully executed by his subordinates, the black-faced man breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he looked down at the blue and white shadows under the sea, his lips became dry and his throat itched.

"With this quantity of Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes, I'm afraid this hunting boat of the family won't be saved."

"Forget it, let me do my best, then make plans."

The sky was slightly bright.

The sea mist was driven away.

On the vast ocean, the huge black boat had stopped sailing and was spinning wildly on the sea.

The shrouded black mist gave it a certain defensive power.

But under the sea surface, countless giant snakes stirred up monstrous waves, and for a time, a huge vortex formed in the ocean.

Under the pull of this vortex, even the giant boat protected by the black mist was sinking continuously.

Luo Chen watched this scene from afar, strange colors flashing in his eyes.

He was both surprised that the giant boat could still stand tall under the attack of countless underwater demonic beasts, and marveled that these low-stage demonic beasts were so proficient in cooperation.

The hard attack didn't work, so they stirred up a vortex, wanting to use the power of nature to drag the giant boat into the seabed.

It could be imagined that once the giant boat was dragged into the sea, under the siege of thousands of low-stage demonic beasts, this black mist defensive array would inevitably collapse in a few breaths.

"What kind of demonic beast is this?"

"It's quite similar to the Black-Ringed Snow Python of the Great Snow Mountain."

"However, the level of intelligence is clearly higher than ordinary Black-Ringed Snow Pythons!"

Luo Chen's heart moved, and his gaze fell on a place not far from him, which was the rear of the battlefield relatively far away.

Then, a gray small cauldron landed on his palm.

One hand holding the cauldron, one hand forming a seal.

"Go!"

The next moment, streams of crimson chains flew out from the Hunyuan Cauldron and drilled into the deep sea surface.

"Hiss hiss..."

Hissing sounds containing unclear meanings were emitted, vaguely visible with anger and fear.

But immediately, a giant snake with two huge fangs, about nine feet long, resembling a small dragon, was tightly bound by the crimson chains and pulled out of the water.

Clatter!

In the sun, the blue light rings on the giant snake's body were so deep, and its teeth were so ferocious!

Just one glance, and Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.

"Didn't see it clearly just now, didn't expect it to be a 2nd-stage late-stage great demon!"

And at this moment, the calm sea surface shook violently.

From the four directions of southeast, northwest, four thick white lines surged toward Luo Chen's small boat.

Not only that, the sea snake group that had stirred up a monstrous vortex was also rushing toward this side.

With such a formation, the answer was self-evident.

Luo Chen had caught the leader first and captured their big brother!

Luo Chen's gaze first glanced at the four white lines, his fingers flicking repeatedly.

Four more crimson chains flew out, easily grabbing four Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes about four or five feet long from under the sea surface.

Each one had ferocious giant teeth, and each one was twisting its demonic body in anger, rolling wildly, trying to break free from the control of the crimson chains.

Luo Chen didn't care about the struggle of these five giant sea snakes, but looked at the countless demonic beasts rushing over in the vast sea area with greed.

"Today, maybe I can have a full meal!"

He stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, the corners of his clothes fluttered without wind, and his whole person slowly rose into the air, his hands pressing into the void.

The next moment, surging green flames appeared all over his body.

Under the blessing of magic power, the green flames instantly expanded, and the color also turned into a bright red.

At this moment, the green-red above and the blue-white below became the only scenery between heaven and earth!

On the hunting boat.

The black-faced man was splitting with rage!

In just half an hour, this hunting boat, which contained two-tenths of the elite power of their family, had suffered heavy losses.

Not to mention that all the mortals had died in battle.

Even the elderly Cheng Ji, who controlled the hunting boat, had suffered a backlash from the array because he forcibly drove the giant boat, and was now lying in the cockpit unconscious.

If this continued, they would definitely die!

The black-faced man took a deep breath, not intending to live and die with the hunting boat.

The white banner in his hand spat out mist, rolled up the unconscious Cheng Ji, and was about to fly into the sky to escape alone.

But at this moment.

"Retreated!"

"The sea snakes have retreated!"

"Woo woo woo, we survived!"

Sounds of wild joy and sorrow resounded on the deck.

The black-faced man was somewhat stunned, his magic power mostly consumed, looking at the surroundings in confusion.

Sure enough!

The ten thousand sea snakes that had originally surrounded the hunting boat tightly had suddenly given up continuing to attack the hunting boat and turned toward the east.

Following that direction, he looked afar.

Only to see the morning sun rising, a proud sun slowly rising.

"Haven't heard that Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes can't be active in the sun?"

While muttering in confusion, the black-faced man suddenly trembled.

That wasn't any sun!

That was a person!

A living person!

Under the clear daylight, a human figure overlooked the vast ocean from mid-air, and endless green-red flames erupted from his body, surging toward the sea surface.

Thousands of sea snakes spat out water arrows containing poison, shooting toward that person.

However, these poison arrows were burned to nothing before they could even get close to that person.

Not only that, the endless flames, like a huge lid of the sky, pressed down with a rumble, instantly covering a hundred-mile radius.

Under the burning of these flames, the giant snakes in the sea turned wildly.

Hissing and screaming, sound after sound entered the ears, extremely terrifying.

The black-faced man and the dozen or so remaining cultivators on the hunting boat were all dumbfounded watching this scene.

With the strength of one person, suppressing ten thousand sea snakes.

What a soul-stirring scene this was.

Those sea snakes huddled together were now like eels thrown alive into boiling water, unable to break free no matter how they struggled under the extreme high temperature.

Even though they were dozens of miles away.

They could still clearly feel the wave of scorching heat.

Between their nostrils, they could even clearly smell the scorched fragrance of roasted meat.

"Gulp!"

Someone swallowed their saliva, making a loud sound in their throat.

Following that, everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva.

Everyone's gaze didn't move, their necks were stiff, and their hearts were beating wildly.

"Who is that?"

"Could it be a demonic giant who walked out of the Yuanmo Sect?"

"Impossible! The Yuanmo Sect has long been destroyed; even if there were such a world-shaking powerhouse, they would have been famous in the archipelago long ago, how could we not know?"

Sounds came from everyone's mouths.

But no one could say the origin of that person at all.

They didn't dare to move, didn't dare to escape!

Very clearly, that person had deliberately controlled the power of the green-red flames, otherwise, at their distance, they would also be within the attack range.

Everyone who survived the disaster watched this scene in horror, waiting for the battle to end.

For a long time, for a long time.

It seemed like a spring, summer, autumn, and winter had passed, but in reality, only a stick of incense time had passed.

The morning sun finally leaped out from the sea level.

And that young man in black descended slowly from the sky, landing on the hunting boat.

After landing on the deck, he didn't say a word, closed his eyes, as if feeling something.

The black-faced man and the dozen or so remaining cultivators bowed and saluted together, not daring to disturb the other party.

But their gazes shifted, sometimes on Luo Chen's dust-free cloud boots, sometimes on the charred sea surface.

Except for a few Blue-Ringed Sea Snakes that escaped due to instinct, the remaining ten thousand sea snakes had all perished in this one-sided slaughter.

Charred bodies floated on the sea surface.

Waves struck, beating them into piles of ash, and they were submerged under the endless sea area.

It could be seen that even the charred bodies left behind had already reached their limit of fragility.

Finally, everyone's gaze gathered on the young man in black again.

Strands of powerful aura constantly dissipated and exhaled from his body.

The surging vitality made people unable to help but want to get closer.

Yet because of the unmasked powerful spiritual pressure, everyone was forced to lower their heads and waists.

Spiritual pressure!

Golden Core Supreme!

The realm of the visitor was not masked at all, finally revealed before everyone.

Suddenly.

The young man opened his eyes, a brilliant light sweeping across everyone.

Those with inferior cultivation, even if not deliberately targeted, still plopped and sat on the ground.

The young man took a deep breath and put away his Golden Core spiritual pressure.

The black-faced man breathed a long sigh of relief, and then heard a question in his ear.

"What place is this?"

The black-faced man pursed his dry lips: "Reporting to Supreme, this place is the Xintian Sea Area, eight thousand miles away from the Du Feiyan Archipelago, and is an area of the Sea of Demons and Monsters that is not under control."

Xintian Sea Area?

Du Feiyan Archipelago?

Luo Chen frowned, but after hearing the three words "Sea of Demons and Monsters," his eyes instantly lit up.

"North Sea?!"

Like a question, and like an affirmation.

The black-faced man was stunned for a moment, then nodded subconsciously: "Supreme is wise, it is indeed the North Sea."

It sounded like a question, yet also like a confirmation.

The swarthy man was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously nodded, "My lord, your insight is brilliant; it is indeed the North Sea."
