That grand aura Long Chen was releasing was so powerful that it seemed to look down on all others, including the Six Horn Sea Serpent. The more Long Chen expressed his disdain for it, the more it didn’t dare to attack. It didn’t know what to do, and the other sea demons were waiting for its orders.
It didn’t know that Long Chen was already starting to sweat. Although he had the pressure of the dragon blood, he was only at Sea Expansion. This Six Horn Sea Serpent could probably kill him in one blow. This posing was too dangerous.
Fortunately, the pressure from the dragon blood truly did intimidate them. Although Long Chen wasn’t looking at the sea demons in order to appear arrogant, his divine sense was constantly roving around.
“Damn, it’s not working. They’re going to attack.”
Long Chen’s expression suddenly changed. He sensed the Six Horn Sea Serpent’s scales slowly opening. He hastily gave Guo Ran new hand signals.
BOOM!
The flying boat suddenly erupted with light, shooting forward like a cannonball and pushing its speed to its peak. The Six Horn Sea Serpent was almost ready to unleash its attack, but the flying boat had vanished.
Chapter 982 Terrifying Existence
The sea demons only reacted once the flying boat escaped. They hastily chased after them.
“You really are courting death, you damn bastard! You’re bullying people too much!” cursed the Six Horn Sea Serpent. It seemed in its fury, it had forgotten it wasn’t human.
At first, it really had been intimidated by Long Chen’s aura. But no matter how strong Long Chen’s bloodline power was, his cultivation base was only at Sea Expansion. Even with the bloodline pressure, it could easily kill Long Chen.
By the time it realized this, Long Chen had fled. The most hateful thing was that right before that, Long Chen had conveniently picked up the two ninth rank corpses that the flying boat had smashed to death.
The Six Horn Sea Serpent’s intelligence was much higher than ordinary sea demons. It knew it had been duped, and with a roar, it led the ninth rank sea demons to chase.
Some of these sea demons flew through the air, their scales releasing some kind of spatial tearing power. Another portion returned to the sea, where their speed was the greatest.
“Boss, you actually even brought those two corpses!” Guo Ran looked at Long Chen with worship. His boss truly was greedy. Even at this time, he didn’t forget to get more profit.
“Elder Sha, can we increase the speed?” Long Chen ignored Guo Ran and asked Elder Sha.
“The flying boat’s too big, and its acceleration is too slow. It’ll take at least fifteen minutes to reach its top speed.” Elder Sha shook his head.
This was one of the disadvantages of large flying boats. It wasn’t nimble enough, and it required some time to reach its max speed.
“Heavens, they’ve caught up already!” cried Wang Mang. In the distance, there was a mass of huge figures chasing them, and at the front was the terrifying Six Horn Sea Serpent.
Its body swam through the air. Its scales sparkled, and its speed was alarming.
“It’s over for us…” said one of the Eastern Wasteland’s disciples.
They had wanted to go to that legendary world known as the Central Plains. But before seeing that legendary world, they would die within this sea.
“Elder Sha, continue accelerating as fast as possible. I’ll stall them,” said Long Chen.
“You can’t. Your bloodline pressure is effective, but your cultivation base is too low. It’s not enough to force them off, and they won’t fall for it twice. Guo Ran, you come control the boat. I’ll go hold them back. Whether or not you can escape will be up to your luck,” said Elder Sha.
“Elder Sha!”
Everyone let out startled cries. Elder Sha was clearly saying that he would fight the sea demons to stall for them. That way, they would have some hope for surviving, but Elder Sha would definitely die once surrounded by those sea demons.
It was unexpected that this indifferent and cold Elder Sha would actually sacrifice himself for them. Everyone felt a sour feeling.
“These are the rules. Don’t feel bad. Time is pressing, so I-” said Elder Sha.
Long Chen shook his head. “It’s no use. The Six Horn Sea Serpent’s intelligence is comparable to a human’s. Even if you sacrifice yourself, it’ll order a portion of the sea demons to continue chasing us. Guo Ran isn’t familiar with how to use the flying boat, so in the end, not one person will escape like that.”
“That’s the only option,” said Elder Sha.
“I still have a few tricks. Maybe I can stall for a bit. Elder Sha, transport me out,” said Long Chen.
Elder Sha couldn’t think of anything else. If Long Chen said he still had some tricks, then the best thing to do was to let him try them. But this time, Long Chen appeared at the back of the ship.
At the aft, Long Chen shouted arrogantly at the Six Horn Sea Serpent, “Tch, you foolish fish, you don’t even recognize your ancestor’s bloodline. Do you want to offend your superior?”
Rumor said that the Six Horn Sea Serpent possessed a dragon’s bloodline. Although it was extremely faint, it truly existed.
Amongst all the sea demons, only it was able to just barely contend against Long Chen’s bloodline pressure. But it was unable to suppress the reverence that came from its soul.
“Don’t try to trick me. You sly, despicable humans, you aren’t a true dragon at all! I’ll eat you for sullying the true dragon’s name!” shouted the Six Horn Sea Serpent.
Long Chen cursed inside. The Six Horn Sea Serpent had sensed his true dragon essence blood and wanted to eat him to take it. Then perhaps there really would be a chance for it to transform into a dragon.
If the Six Horn Sea Serpent wasn’t so intelligent, then they would have already managed to escape. But now it was troublesome.
The flying boat was accelerating with each passing moment. What they needed most at this time was for Long Chen to stall.
“No, you’re wrong. Haven’t you heard of the true dragon heavenly son? That’s right, I am the true dragon heavenly son. Although… although I’m not wearing dragon robes, can you not sense my temperament, my mannerisms? Do you not sense my aura that is like a dragon looking down on the rest of the world? As the saying goes, you can’t judge people by their looks. The water of the sea… is very cold, very cold…” As Long Chen spouted nonsense, he ended up not knowing what to say at the end.
The Six Horn Sea Serpent was startled at first by Long Chen’s nonsense. But as Long Chen continued to sputter, it ended up not understanding his nonsense. Then it noticed the flying boat was getting faster and faster, and it realized his goal. It opened its mouth, shooting a huge globe of light toward Long Chen.
That was one of its innate divine abilities. If struck, Long Chen wouldn’t even have a corpse.
Suddenly, Long Chen disappeared as he was drawn back inside by Elder Sha. At the same time, Elder Sha pushed the flying boat’s defenses as high as possible.
BANG! The flying boat shook intensely and shot into the distance.
Because of the immense power, the flying boat struck the water and rebounded several times, causing the people inside to vomit blood. Even the Dragonblood warriors weren’t able to bear it and were injured. As for the others, many of them fainted.
“Are you alright?” cried Tang Wan-er. Meng Qi was pale, and blood was dripping out of the corner of her mouth. Although Tang Wan-er was doing her best to protect her, Meng Qi was still injured.
“I’m fine,” comforted Meng Qi.
“Fuck, so it’s a case of giving face but not getting face? Elder Sha, send me out!” Long Chen once more appeared at the back of the boat. Pointing at the Six Horn Sea Serpent, he cursed, “Bastard, I’ll make you pay for that one! Double Dragon Destruction!”
Roaring resounded through the air as flames and lightning condensed. Two dragons three thousand miles long appeared, immediately coiling around each other an
d forming a dragon twister that struck the Six Horn Sea Serpent.
BOOM! The Six Horn Sea Serpent was sent flying. Lei Long and Huo Long were no longer the old Lei Long and Huo Long.
Lei Long had absorbed an incredible amount of thunderforce from the tribulation, while Huo Long had devoured another Earth Flame. They were both much stronger than before.
The Six Horn Sea Serpent first felt its body go numb as thunderforce invaded inside and then flames wrapped around it. Even as a ninth rank sea demon, its body wasn’t able to bear such terrifying flames. A burned smell filled the air, along with the smell of cooked fish.
“Brother Long, I want to eat it!” Wilde immediately smelled it and became unbearably hungry.
Everyone almost collapsed. What time was it? How could he still want food!?
The Six Horn Sea Serpent was knocked back, and although it was a bit injured, its injury wasn’t anywhere close to a fatal one. Long Chen had Lei Long and Huo Long continue circling at the back of the flying boat to protect them.
The two of them were extremely large, and even the sea demons had to be afraid of their combination attack. With the two of them at the back of the flying boat, the sea demons were forced back further.
“Boss is mighty!” Guo Ran and the others cheered. Even Elder Sha sighed with relief as he hadn’t expected Long Chen to have so many trump cards. The crisis was temporarily held back.
Whether it was lightning or flames, each of them could intimidate the water attribute sea demons. The thunderforce was especially effective against them, as it came from the nine heavens’ tribulation lightning.
“Bastard!” The Six Horn Sea Serpent roared furiously. Seeing the flying boat’s speed continuously increasing, it finally went berserk. Its body suddenly swelled, and opening its mouth, a huge globe of light shot out.
BOOM! The two dragons shattered in the face of this terrifying attack, causing Long Chen’s expression to change.
However, he also saw that the Six Horn Sea Serpent’s scales clearly dimmed slightly after it. This attack must’ve cost a lot.
“A good chance.”
The Six Horn Sea Serpent had only just unleashed this powerful attack, and its aura was still at the bottom. At this moment, the back of the flying boat opened and a huge flying sword shot through its head. It was caught off-guard and killed instantly.
Its body was pulled into the flying boat, and Long Chen also returned inside because the flying boat’s speed was now reaching its peak. The other sea demons were no longer able to get any closer.
Furthermore, the flying boat was still accelerating. In other words, they were safe.
“Boss is badass! Elder Sha is- cough, hail Elder Sha!” Guo Ran cheered. Everyone was excited to have escaped certain death.
Even Elder Sha had a rare smile on his face. The feeling of escaping calamity was truly a good one.
“Fuck! We ended up disturbing a terrifying existence!”
Long Chen was also excited at first. He was just about to tidy up the spoils when his and Elder Sha’s expression completely changed.
Chapter 983 Azure Dragon Reverse Scale
Long Chen’s back suddenly became covered in sweat as a terrifying sensation of death washed over him. This was his second time feeling it.
“Long Chen…” Meng Qi was startled. She had also experienced this kind of terrifying threat.
He and Meng Qi had disturbed a terrifying existence in the Spirit World. They had both almost died at that time. Now, they both sensed a threat on the same level.
Elder Sha’s expression was ashen. He had already given up on escaping.
“Elder Sha… what kind of existence is this?” Guo Ran and the others were pale with terror.
“The aura of a tenth rank sea demon. We’re powerless to resist,” sighed Elder Sha.
That was an existence on a higher level than Kings. Elder Sha had never imagined that they would be so unlucky as to end up disturbing one of the tenth rank sea demons lurking in the depths of the sea.
The sunny sky turned pitch-black. It was like the end of the world.
“A tenth rank sea demon’s power can suppress heaven and earth. For us to be able to see such a manifestation before death, we can die without regrets,” sighed Elder Sha emotionally.
The void seemed to be tearing. A huge head appeared in the air, looking down on them.
Although they were unable to see its body, just its head was the size of a whole city. It felt as if the world had frozen. It appeared like the head of a god.
“It’s another Six Horn Sea Serpent… no wait, it has eight horns!” Gu Yang looked at the huge head with horror.
“It couldn’t be that Six Horn Sea Serpent’s dad, could it?” Guo Ran’s eyes almost popped out of his head. This monstrous head was appalling.
The huge head suddenly let out a roar. It was like the heavens were exploding, and the sound waves shattered the flying boat’s defenses. The ear-piercing sound was like needles stabbing into their ears.
At the same time, a spiritual pressure crashed down on everyone, making them feel like their souls were about to be crushed.
Long Chen hastily circulated his bloodline power. His Blood Qi erupted, facing against that terrifying spiritual pressure. But in front of that spiritual pressure, he vomited a mouthful of blood
He was too weak in front of a tenth rank sea demon. Even with his dragon blood, he couldn’t resist.
“Fuck, how could this happen? I can’t die yet. There are too many things for me to do.” Long Chen cursed inside. He stood at the front, facing the majority of the spiritual pressure. He knew that the others wouldn’t be able to resist the pressure and would be crushed alive.
But Long Chen’s cultivation base was still too low. He constantly vomited blood as he resisted.
“Long Chen…!” cried Tang Wan-er. She held the unconscious Meng Qi in her hand.
Elder Sha was only capable of clenching his teeth and enduring. In front of a tenth rank sea demon, his power wasn’t much different than everyone else’s.
Just as everyone thought they would die, a mouthful of Long Chen’s blood fell into the sea. It rapidly dissipated.
Buzz.
Suddenly, a ray of light shot out of the sea, lighting up the dark sky. A sacred, divine, irresistible might erupted.
This sacred light blew apart the black clouds, lighting up the world.
“This is… a familiar aura.” Long Chen was shocked.
Following that sacred light, a furious and resentful roar, which also contained fear, rang out. Then everyone felt their bodies lighten as that terrifying pressure disappeared.
Heaven and earth returned to normal. The black clouds were gone, the huge head was gone, everything was gone. It was like those moments had just been a dream.
But the flying boat’s barrier was also gone, and there were thin cracks in some places of the boat. That told everyone that it hadn’t been a dream.
Elder Sha was also dumbfounded. Just now, a sacred light had forced back the terrifying tenth rank sea demon. That light had now vanished as well. Elder Sha didn’t even know what was going on.
“That familiar aura is the aura of dragon blood. It must be!” Long Chen’s eyes shone. He even sensed a kind of bloodline summoning. It was definitely the dragon blood.
“Elder Sha, can you wait here for a moment? I’m going down to take a look.”
“Wait, what are you doing?!” Elder Sha was startled. But Long Chen had already jumped into the sea. Elder Sha’s expression sank. “Willful brat, he doesn’t follow the rules at all.”
“Elder Sha, the flying boat has been damaged in several areas. We should repair it a bit. If you need it, disciple can help. To accomplish what you ask me, I will work with all my might until I die…” Guo Ran called out, a fawning expression on his face.
…
Long Chen closed his eyes and sensed where that summoning was coming from. He swam toward the depths of the sea. He was sure there was something he
needed down below.
The light that had shot out had been absolutely shocking. It was actually able to chase away a tenth rank sea demon. He had to figure out what was going on.
As he went lower, he saw more sea demon corpses. From their appearance, it seemed they had been killed by that light as well.
Once he was a hundred miles deep, he felt the pressure start to be too much. He had no choice but to summon his divine ring.
Long Chen wasn’t worried about his safety. If even a tenth rank sea demon could be chased away, then this was probably the safest spot of the entire sea.
He had underestimated the depth of the sea. He continued to sink for three whole days without reaching the bottom. He also had to summon the Four Star Battle Armor to resist the pressure.
On the fourth day, he finally had to use the Green Dragon Battle Armor. Otherwise, he would have been crushed by the pressure.
When he summoned the Green Dragon Battle Armor, he clearly sensed the summoning intensify. He swam in a certain direction.
He finally saw it. It was a huge scale floating motionlessly. There was actually a vacuum around it that was many miles wide.
“Another dragon scale?” Long Chen looked at it with shock. Sensing the incomparably pure bloodline power coming from it, his heart pounded. “A white dragon scale… Could it be… an azure dragon’s reverse scale?!”
Long Chen couldn’t believe his eyes. Legend said that when dragons were born, their scales were green, and so they were called green dragons.
Green dragons were their form when they were young. As they grew, they eventually molted to become azure dragons. Their scales would become a silver-white color. They were sometimes called white dragons or silver dragons, but their true name was azure dragons.
“The only thing remaining of a dragon’s molting is its reverse scale. If I can refine it, then according to the Dragon Blood Body Tempering Art, wouldn’t I be able to summon the Azure Dragon Battle Armor?”
