Chapter 171: As a True Disciple of the Feather Transformation Sect, I Am Invincible Within My Realm

After slaying an unknown cultivator, the weather over the sea cleared up.

Fang Yu obtained a spiritual artifact robe and a vial of Baiyang Pills—modest gains—and now they would head to the location of the Li Hei Shui Wang She to capture it.

Fang Yu and Long Xuan retracted the Rainbow Cloud Ship and continued flying forward.

From the memory of that cultivator, Fang Yu had learned the Li Hei Shui Wang She's whereabouts; this newly entered Divine Ability Secret Realm cultivator coveted the Li Hei Shui Wang She desperately, but his strength was utterly insufficient to challenge it.

The Li Hei Shui Wang She is a primordial beast, immensely massive—even before transforming into a jiao within the Divine Ability Secret Realm, it is no ordinary expert of that realm who can handle it.

If such a primordial beast enters the Divine Ability Secret Realm, its magic power will be several times, even dozens of times, greater than a human's; even a 5th Stage Heavenly Man Realm expert might not kill it.

This Li Hei Shui Wang She has not yet reached the stage of transformation into a jiao.

After countless twists and turns, traveling over a hundred li, Fang Yu and Long Xuan sensed a faint briny odor permeating the air.

When Fang Yu's divine sense flowed downward, he saw a colossal serpent devouring sharks in the sea—one bite swallowing several at once.

It was a giant serpent, each scale the size of a face, its inverted scales like blades, fierce and grotesque.

Especially its gaping maw, capable of swallowing multiple sharks at once, lined with rows of venomous fangs, razor-sharp.

If such fangs were acquired by a 5th Stage Heavenly Man Realm expert and embedded into grand arrays, forging a supreme-grade spiritual artifact sword would pose no problem; if they fell into the hands of a 9th or 10th Stage cultivator, they could even be forged into a treasure-grade sword.

This Li Hei Shui Wang She is a treasure from head to tail.

"We arrived a bit early—it still has some time before transforming into a jiao. But if we apply pressure, it might break through into the Divine Ability Secret Realm right now."

Sensing the Li Hei Shui Wang She deep in the sea, Fang Yu pondered briefly, then activated the power of five hundred Xuan Huang Horses, forming a vast net that descended upon the beast below.

The Li Hei Shui Wang She was enjoying its meal when suddenly it sensed a terrifying threat—but before it could react, the emerald flame net dragged it upward, soaring into the sky.

Boom—

The Li Hei Shui Wang She thrashed violently, its massive body writhing as if trying to break free from Fang Yu's Daoist Gang Qi net.

But no matter how it struggled, it could not escape Fang Yu's net; this emerald-green net possessed unimaginable resilience, utterly unbreakable.

As it struggled further, Fang Yu manipulated the Daoist Gang Qi net, revealing its property of emerald flame burning all things—immediately, the Li Hei Shui Wang She's body emitted a sizzling sound.

"Dare to steal my Li Hei Shui Wang She? You seek death!"

At that moment, a dark shadow surged violently from the nearby sea surface; a figure flew through the air, surrounded by concentric rings of white airflow.

His speed exceeded the speed of sound, creating sonic booms.

The figure was a middle-aged man clad in black, with three long beards, his skin purplish-black—perhaps from years of sun exposure, or from cultivating a peculiar art.

His expression was grim, his eyes venomous, his gaze icy cold, a cruel smirk curling his lips—he was clearly accustomed to killing and seizing treasures, always striking to kill without fail.

This middle-aged man moved like a shadow, swift as lightning and phantom, flickering through the air, closing in on Fang Yu and Long Xuan, then unleashing a terrifying attack upon them.

Pop. Pop.

Waves of Daoist Gang Qi surged skyward, each possessing the power of five hundred Xuan Huang Horses, slashing toward them instantly.

"Hehe, hehe! I've labored for years guarding this Li Hei Shui Wang She, waiting for it to emerge from the deep sea and transform into a jiao so I could subdue it—and you? You dare steal my Li Hei Shui Wang She? Today, you all die!"

"Oh, really?"

As the terrifying Daoist Gang Qi surged toward him, Fang Yu simultaneously controlled the Li Hei Shui Wang She's ascent and extended a finger—a dense emerald flame Daoist Gang Qi pierced the air, its power far more profound than the middle-aged man's five hundred Xuan Huang Horse strength.

In a single strike, his Daoist Gang Qi shattered the middle-aged man's Daoist Gang Qi.

"I've been waiting for you."

Instantly shattering the middle-aged man's Daoist Gang Qi, Fang Yu smiled faintly; in his hand appeared a gourd, from which seven flying swords shot out, forming a sword array.

The moment this sword array appeared, it unleashed unimaginable power—the seven swords radiated endless swordlight, spun once, and teleported above the middle-aged man's head.

Swish. Swish. Swish.

Countless swordlight rained down, instantly destroying the man's spiritual artifact robe, then obliterating his flesh body.

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man lost all life force and plummeted downward.

How boastful he had been moments before, now how ignominious his fall.

But Fang Yu would not let his corpse fall; with a casual grasp, he seized the man's body and pulled it upward.

"Fang Senior Brother's magic power is incredibly strong—this middle-aged man is the Absolute Death Island Master, ranked thirty-eighth among the Forty Thieves, a 3rd Stage Daoist Gang Qi Realm expert, yet Fang Senior Brother slew him in an instant."

Long Xuan, witnessing this, wore an expression of shock.

She had not expected Fang Yu's magic power to be so overwhelming—able to control the Li Hei Shui Wang She while simultaneously crushing an equal-rank opponent, the Absolute Death Island Master.

Especially those seven flying swords and the gourd—they seemed to transcend the category of spiritual artifacts, resembling legendary treasure-grade artifacts, manipulated by Fang Senior Brother to kill instantly.

The Absolute Death Island Master was slain in an instant.
