Chapter 628: The Great Sea Beast Outbreak

Zhang Nuo scattered the dark clouds in the sky, looked up, and saw that it was completely empty, not even a shadow of a person to be seen; however, when this sunlight poured onto the surface of the sea, a strange change suddenly occurred!

As it turned out, the originally calm sea surface suddenly rippled with a series of waves, and immediately after, a patch of black lightning rose from the seawater! Within a radius of several thousand miles, the sea surface was completely covered by this black thunder light!

Zhang Nuo was slightly startled; he had not expected that merely pushing aside some of the dark clouds in the sky would trigger such a sudden change on the sea!

He had a familiar feeling about this black lightning, as if he had seen it in some classic text. His thoughts turned rapidly, and Zhang Nuo muttered to himself: "Not good!"

The next moment, he retracted his Flying Sword, not caring who was spying on him, and sped away toward the distant sky! Because he had thought of one thing: in the "Forbidden Five Thunders Canon," there was a clear record that this black lightning on the sea was named "Black Fiend Demon Thunder," which belonged to one of the five great exotic thunders!

Unlike the previous three types of lightning, this "Black Fiend Demon Thunder" was gestated within the body of a creature called the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast." This type of demon beast preferred to live in darkness, and some had never even seen sunlight in their entire lives, so their sensitivity to light had reached an extreme; as long as they sensed even a tiny bit of light, it would immediately cause them to become restless!

The most terrifying thing about the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" was its cultivation; upon birth, this beast would directly advance to the Refining Void Stage, completely unaffected by the power of the laws of heaven and earth. However, it was precisely because of this characteristic that in the long years to come, the cultivation speed of this demon beast would be extremely slow, and some would be trapped at the Refining Void Stage for their entire lives!

However, once it broke through, it was the demon beast most likely to advance to the Great Accomplishment Stage, but this probability was very small; to this day, no classic text had ever recorded a "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" advancing to the Great Accomplishment Stage!

Originally, this "Black Fiend Demon Thunder" was also one of the five thunders Zhang Nuo wanted to obtain, but here in the Demon Thunder Sea, he dared not have too many extravagant hopes. First, this place was fraught with danger, and there was more than just the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" in the sea; if he were to attract other high-level demon beasts during the battle, even with his not-weak cultivation, he would absolutely not dare to face several powerful demon beasts alone!

Second, before he understood the matter regarding Jiemie Heshang, Zhang Nuo had to conserve his strength. The appearance of the Skull Monk had added a few more irresistible factors to this trip to the Demon Thunder Sea!

Based on the above reasons, Zhang Nuo had no choice but to put aside this exotic item, the "Black Fiend Demon Thunder," and choose to flee!

Just as he had flown several hundred miles away, a giant wave ten thousand feet high suddenly rose on the sea, and at the same time, a huge demon beast, fully a hundred feet long, appeared in the seawater!

This demon beast was covered in black scales, resembling a giant black koi, but below its abdomen, it had hundreds of pairs of short legs, just like a centipede, and the short legs were constantly dancing! In its pair of fist-sized eyes, black energy swirled and electric light flickered, and four pairs of small fleshy wings on its back vibrated incessantly; it looked very angry!

Zhang Nuo swept his Divine Sense backward and discovered this huge "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast." Being stared at by its black eyes, he felt a chill run down his spine!

If one were to speak of cultivation, this "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" had at least the strength of the Late Void Refinement Stage; it was likely that one foot had already stepped into the Great Accomplishment Stage! Facing such a powerful demon beast, even if Zhang Nuo wanted the "Black Fiend Demon Thunder," he dared not strike alone!

As his thoughts raced, his escape speed increased by a few notches! At the same time, the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" on the sea also discovered Zhang Nuo. Seeing that it was a human cultivator, the beast let out a roar that pierced the heavens, shaking the sky until it swayed several times!

Then, it saw its two pairs of fleshy wings flap, and its figure flew directly into the high sky. Toward the direction where Zhang Nuo was fleeing, it opened its big mouth, and a beam of light as black as ink shot out! Countless black electric arcs flickered on the surface of the beam, cutting through the void and striking directly at Zhang Nuo!

While his body was flying forward, Zhang Nuo's Divine Sense was constantly alert to what was behind him. The moment he sensed the attack from the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast," yellow electric arcs flashed on his body, and he transformed into an arc of electricity, disappearing from where he was!

The moment he used Thunder Escape to flee, the black light beam from the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" passed through the path he had just been flying on! Several hundred feet away, a thin yellow electric arc flashed, and Zhang Nuo reappeared! His pupils shrank suddenly; as far as his eyes could see, the huge "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" was moving toward his side!

At this time and place, Zhang Nuo did not want to fight this powerful demon beast at all, so he immediately drove his escape light again to flee into the distance!

Just as the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" was chasing Zhang Nuo, the white bone skeleton revealed its form from the dark clouds in the high sky. A cyan flame flashed within its hollow eye sockets, and then flesh and blood grew rapidly over its entire body! In a few moments, a monk wearing white monk robes appeared!

A faint cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and the monk glanced in the direction where Zhang Nuo had fled! This monk was none other than Jiemie, who had been taken into the umbrella-shaped Magic Treasure by Garuda back then!

"I really didn't expect that a mere little human cultivator from back then would actually raise his cultivation to this level and even come to the Demon Realm! I really don't know what method he used!"

Muttering to himself with his head lowered, Jiemie Heshang flicked his wide sleeves, and his whole person transformed into a streak of escape light, following in the direction where Zhang Nuo had fled!

Several days later, cold sweat broke out on Zhang Nuo's forehead, because to avoid the attack of one "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast," he had been flying wildly above the Demon Thunder Sea, and the demon beast behind him was no slower than him in flight speed. Not only that, but wherever the man and the beast flew, the demon beasts in the sea were called up by the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" one after another, joining the ranks of those hunting Zhang Nuo!

The Demon Thunder Sea, which had been silent for many years, became riotous because of Zhang Nuo. Various demon beasts were chasing Zhang Nuo on the sea, some in the sky, and there were even some demon beasts tracking Zhang Nuo's aura from the bottom of the sea!

The mighty army of Demon Thunder Sea beasts numbered several thousand. Facing this formation, Zhang Nuo dared not stop at all and could only flee for his life!

He was still wondering in his heart that these demon beasts seemed to have been in contact beforehand, acting in perfect unison; whether they were great demons or small demons, they were all hunting him! There were some demon beasts that, let alone seeing, Zhang Nuo had never even heard of!

A few more days passed, and Zhang Nuo felt that something was wrong. In the direction he was fleeing, some demon beasts could even discover his tracks in advance and attack him!

Although the strength of these demon beasts could not be compared with the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast," there were too many of them. As a result, some time was delayed, and the large group of demon beasts led by the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" was approaching him bit by bit. That momentum was even greater than the demon beast tide that had occurred in the Immortal World back then!

Zhang Nuo would not simply believe that the large-scale sea beast riot was caused entirely by one "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast"; it seemed that these sea beasts were controlled by some kind of power!

Thinking back to the matter of the Skull Monk, plus everything before his eyes, Zhang Nuo had a bold idea: it was very likely that these demon beasts were controlled by the Skull Monk!

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo's heart gave a sudden jolt. He had known something about the Skull Monk back then; given his cultivation, it seemed unlikely he could control so many sea beasts. Then the only thing that could explain all this was that there was an even more formidable figure behind the Skull Monk! Garuda!

Several years ago, Zhang Nuo had met Baji the Old Demon and learned from him that Garuda had escaped the control of several great powers in the Demon Realm and found a hidden place to hide. One might ask, where in the Demon Realm was the safest?

Perhaps only this Demon Thunder Sea! Although it was somewhat dangerous, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest! Even if those great powers of the Demon Realm knew that Garuda was hiding in the Demon Thunder Sea, they would probably not dare to take risks easily!

After figuring all this out, Zhang Nuo felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart. His purpose for this trip was only to find the Yin and Yang Qi, and he did not want to provoke too many things, but inadvertently, he had actually become involved with Garuda!

If Garuda was really hiding in this Demon Thunder Sea, with his cultivation, he would certainly be able to sense the existence of the Yin and Yang Qi. Things were developing in a direction unfavorable to Zhang Nuo!

Just at this moment, in the sea area below Zhang Nuo's body, a cyan light beam shot out. Caught off guard while deep in thought, Zhang Nuo almost got hit!

Raising his eyebrows slightly, Zhang Nuo flicked his sleeves, and a gust of wind swept out, transforming into countless Wind Blades that broke through the light beam and slashed into the seawater! In an instant, a patch of blood dyed this sea area red! The sea beast died directly in the water! Zhang Nuo did not know how many times he had done such things!

"Awoo! ~ Awoo! ~"

Behind him, the roars of sea beasts rose one after another. It looked like in a few more days, the "Black Electric Cloud-Spraying Beast" would be able to catch up to him!

Zhang Nuo was burning with anxiety. If he were caught by the large group of sea beasts behind him, let alone him, even a Great Accomplishment Stage existence would surely perish without a doubt!

After flying forward for more than another day, a pale blue light curtain suddenly appeared in front of him. This light curtain fell from the horizon and sank into the bottomless depths of the sea.

Arriving in front of the light curtain, Zhang Nuo's figure stopped abruptly, an expression of wild joy appearing on his face!

This light curtain was the boundary line between the Nei Hai and the Wai Hai in the Demon Thunder Sea. Only by finding the Nei Hai could Zhang Nuo be considered to have touched the edge of the Yin and Yang Qi!
