Chapter 1751 Encounters Along the Way: Familiar Demons!
True Dragon Sea!
In a dark, unlit seabed, like an ancient, forgotten abyss, coldness and death are the eternal themes.
The water pressure was terrifying, and the darkness was as black as ink; ordinary creatures could not possibly survive here.
suddenly--
A dazzling yet eerie beam of light suddenly tore through the eternal darkness.
It seemed to possess its own spirit, completely ignoring the immense obstacle of the vast ocean, and pierced through it with a speed surpassing even thunder.
Wherever it passed...
The seawater evaporated and vanished silently, creating a brief vacuum trail.
next moment,
The demonic light fell precisely into a vast, lush coral reef several miles away.
boom! ! !
An indescribable, blinding light suddenly erupted, like a monstrous sun rising abruptly from the dark seabed, instantly turning the surrounding dozens of miles of sea into a ghastly white expanse.
The light was incredibly domineering, carrying a destructive aura, enough to burn the pupils of anyone who dared to look directly at it.
Immediately following was a deafening, thunderous roar that slowed but powerfully swept over the area.
The sound waves transformed into tangible ripples, mixed with destructive demonic power, and spread wildly in all directions, stirring up raging undercurrents and silt.
"How dare they spy on us in secret! They deserve to die!"
The voice was cold, arrogant, and devoid of any emotion, as if it had solidified directly in the seawater and traveled in all directions.
A powerful demon lord clad in menacing black armor slowly withdrew his flicking motion, his cold gaze, sharp as two tangible blades, glancing in the direction where the thunder had roared and the light had dissipated.
That gaze, like that of a god looking down upon ants, was filled with indifference and contempt.
After one glance,
The powerful demon clan member casually withdrew his gaze, as if he were merely brushing away a speck of dust.
He then focused his attention on an ancient bronze mirror that was floating in front of him.
The mirror-like surface shimmered with a ghostly light, reflecting the surrounding vast ocean. No matter how deeply hidden, the presence of any living creature could not escape its detection.
After confirming that there were no more suspicious spots of light in the mirror,
Its figure swayed slightly, instantly transforming into a deep black streak of light that tore through the water, speeding towards the massive, continuous warship fleet ahead.
After a while!
The black streak of light silently disappeared into the protective light barrier of a huge warship that was patrolling the flank of the fleet.
"Reporting to the clan elders, all the scoundrels who were secretly spying have been eliminated!"
The powerful demon stepped into the main hall of the ship's cabin, knelt on one knee before a figure standing silently in front of him, and bowed his head to report.
The figure had gray hair and an ordinary appearance, but the aura emanating from him was as obscure as an abyss and unfathomable.
Hear the words.
The elderly man with gray hair didn't even lift his eyelids, only slightly nodding, his aged voice calm and unwavering:
"Thanks for your hard work.
"You should go and rest now."
"Yes!"
The powerful demon clan member bowed and clasped his hands in respect as he slowly withdrew from the main hall.
Similar scenes of clearing out spying crews were also playing out in different locations and on different warships within the massive fleet.
In the distant region surrounding this silently advancing legion of death, a deadly beam of light would occasionally pierce through the air...
A sudden flash of light appears behind a dark reef, in a trench, or among seaweed thickets, and then disappears!
This is often accompanied by a short, shrill scream from the primordial spirit, or a muffled thud as the demon's body collapses.
This also means that,
Each flash of light represents the ruthless end of a dormant life.
The densely packed, seemingly endless array of metal warships remained absolutely silent, proceeding in an orderly and utterly silent manner towards their predetermined direction.
The entire fleet was silent except for the low rumble of countless warships cutting through the water, creating a chilling background sound.
Although the atmosphere was extremely quiet, it was filled with an overwhelming killing intent that seemed to solidify into a tangible form and an extremely suppressed fighting spirit.
The entire fleet was like a monstrous beast, its muscles taut and silently lurking in the deep sea, seemingly poised to unleash a devastating attack at any moment.
Moreover, the speed of these endless warships was beyond imagination.
It far exceeds the speed at which an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator travels at full speed.
What comes into view...
At the heart of this countless array of standardized warships lies a flying magical artifact, entirely different from the others.
It was firmly protected in the center, like stars surrounding the moon.
It was a massive, imposing magical artifact resembling a war chariot.
Its entire body is a noble purple-gold color, with naturally formed five-colored patterns flowing endlessly on the body, exuding a vast and powerful aura. It looks extraordinary and mysterious.
As the endless warships silently set sail as usual...
Beyond the farthest possible distance,
In a void layer that overlaps with yet runs parallel to real space, a barely perceptible stream of light is piercing through at an astonishing speed.
Judging from the direction it was heading, it was roughly the same as the direction the endless warships were traveling in the deep sea below.
Just as Cheng Buzheng was using his Void Escape Technique to traverse the interlayers at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators, heading straight for the sea area where the Sea Serpent Clan resided...
suddenly.
A dazzling beam of light, imbued with terrifying demonic power, tore through the barrier of the real seawater without warning.
The trajectory of its burst ended precisely at the approximate location of the void interlayer where he was!
See this scene.
Cheng Buzheng's Dao heart trembled slightly, and he subconsciously paused abruptly during his rapid escape, then moved sideways without any fanfare.
And they concealed their aura and presence to the extreme.
At the same time, a sense of vigilance instantly flashed into his mind:
"Could it be that there are Tribulation Cultivators in this seabed? They can even detect my ability to escape through the void?"
However, his powerful divine sense swept over it instantly, immediately dispelling this absurd idea.
"impossible!
My escape technique is a spatial supernatural power, profound and extraordinary.
Even a Nascent Soul Demon Lord would never be able to detect my presence so accurately without special treasures or targeted divine abilities.
Perhaps a battle has broken out below, and this attack wasn't aimed at me?
In an instant, numerous analyses and judgments flashed through his mind.
Immediately.
Cheng Buzheng steadied his mind and quietly peered through the void barrier at the seabed of the real world...
as predicted.
The terrifying beam of light that shot towards him was not ultimately aimed at him.
Instead, below lies a vast, colorful coral jungle on the seabed.
At this moment, a Golden Core Realm sea demon was hidden within the complex pores of the coral reef.
Its face was filled with extreme terror and despair. Its demonic power had just instinctively surged, as it tried to use a stealth technique to evade...
But the destructive streak that crossed the void was moving faster than it could react to.
boom!
The beam of light hit its mark precisely.
A brief but piercing scream had just been heard when it was completely drowned out by the deafening roar of the explosion.
Within that suddenly bursting, dazzling, and demonic light, a blinding and cruel crimson hue appeared for a moment, before quickly dissipating.
Perhaps other cultivators simply couldn't bear to look directly at that burst of light, which contained destructive energy.
But Cheng Buzheng's six senses were incredibly sharp, and his divine sense incredibly powerful.
Nature sees everything that happens in that instant clearly.
In his vision, the streak of light that traversed the void struck the hidden demon's body in an instant...
The demon race member at the Golden Core stage couldn't even put up a decent resistance; his powerful demonic body was as fragile as paper.
They were instantly crushed and vaporized by the terrifying energy.
It was completely reduced to a pervasive mist of blood and dust.
This is why a touch of blood appeared at the moment that brilliant light burst forth.
next moment.
The light completely dissipated, and the once lush and beautiful coral reef disappeared, replaced by a bottomless, enormous pit.
Seawater rushed in from all directions, creating a deafening roar.
In an instant, it filled the newly formed, terrifying pit, leaving only churning, murky mud and sand.
At the same time...
Hidden within the void, Cheng Buzheng's gaze also fell upon the source of that deadly stream of light.
At first glance,
A great demon, clad in menacing black armor and holding an ancient and mysterious mirror that appeared to be made of bronze, stood indifferently suspended in the distant sea.
Its demonic body was imposing and its murderous aura was overwhelming, clearly indicating that it was a powerful demon lord who had experienced countless battles.
The enormous backdrop behind him made Cheng Buzheng's gaze sharpen—
Those were countless warships, stretching as far as the eye could see!
A chilling, oppressive atmosphere of war, powerful enough to crush everything, swept over us.
The great demon, clad in black armor and wielding a bronze mirror, glanced indifferently in the direction where its target had vanished, seemingly confirming the outcome…
Without any intention of pausing, his figure blurred, transforming into a dark streak of light, and sped towards the massive fleet ahead.
Finally, its figure disappeared into the flank of the fleet, inside the protective light screen of a warship that was patrolling and hunting.
Through the void barrier, Cheng Buzheng quietly observed the endless column of warships, a force of immense military might, marching in perfect formation, and as silent as a death legion.
A thought instantly flashed into his mind:
"Such a massive demon fleet, such a chilling aura..."
Could this be the expeditionary force sent by the Black Tiger Shark Clan?
"What a coincidence! We met here."
The more Cheng Buzheng thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
The ruthless demon who had just attacked, clad in black armor and wielding a mysterious bronze mirror, was clearly a powerful demon lord of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, judging from his aura and attire.
"Moreover, the timing is similar to the rumors that the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan is reorganizing its army and going on expeditions."
"However, given the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's massive mobilization, what force is this expeditionary force actually targeting?"
"Judging from the direction they are marching now... it seems they are heading northwest..."
"That direction...could it be the core sea area of the Golden Dragon Clan?"
Or perhaps… their goals align with mine, and they too have their eyes on the Sea Serpent Clan?
suddenly.
Cheng Buzheng's thoughts shifted, and he secretly shook his head, analyzing the situation:
"wrong!
Both the Sea Serpent Clan and the Golden Dragon Clan are powerful and dominant clans in their respective regions.
Their strength is unfathomable.
Even if the overall strength of the Sea Serpent Clan is slightly inferior to that of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, they are by no means easy targets, given their racial talents and foundation.
Even if the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan were to win, it would be a pyrrhic victory, with no possibility of a crushing defeat.
"Perhaps... the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's large-scale war is simply an attempt to conquer a wealthy royal family and seize its resources and territory."
It's not about directly challenging tough opponents like the Sea Serpent Clan or the Golden Dragon Clan.
"It's just that their marching route happened to be part of my route."
Just as Cheng Buzheng was about to withdraw his gaze, avoid further complications, and continue on his journey...
His gaze, however, was drawn to the magnificent and completely different war chariot at the very center of the fleet, which was surrounded by countless warships like stars around the moon.
"With its body made of purple-gold, Dao patterns naturally arise, and its inner pressure is immense... Such a treasure is definitely not something an ordinary demon lord can possess."
Could it be that the person riding inside this chariot is the newly appointed, ruthless patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan?
Think of this.
Cheng Buzheng also became somewhat interested and wanted to see more clearly...
Which heroes have the audacity to launch such a massive expedition, risking the depletion of their clan's resources?
The risks involved are enormous.
of course.
His primary concern was the level of cultivation of this "man of great courage" himself.
Did he actually break through that crucial step and enter the realm of the Divine Demon Venerable?
And, within the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's home territory, are there any other Nascent Soul Demon Lords currently in charge?
This is directly related to the current landscape of Zhenlonghai.
It might even affect the entire human race!
In the blink of an eye,
A faint, almost imperceptible golden light flickered deep within Cheng Buzheng's eyes.
Within the pupils, countless intricate and mysterious golden runes seemed to spring forth from the sky, quietly intertwining and evolving, transforming into supreme Dharma eyes capable of seeing through illusions and directly perceiving the origin.
Then, wanting to be on the safe side, he had another idea.
The golden light that had been swirling in his eyes instantly transformed, taking on a deeper, darker shade of dark gold. All the probing fluctuations were brought to an extreme, as if returning to stillness.
Obviously.
Cheng Buzheng, who has always been cautious and unwilling to cause trouble, maintained his usual low-key style.
To prevent being detected by any powerful beings potentially inside the chariot, he subtly enhanced his 'annihilation' concealment state on his Dharma Eyes.
As his gaze shifted, it pierced through the surging demonic energy ripples and rolling seawater emanating from the warships…
In an instant, the magnificent chariot, which should have been able to block divine thoughts and shield against prying eyes, lost its protective light barrier and walls.
Under the gaze of Cheng Buzheng's divine eyes, which were enhanced with supernatural powers, it seemed to become transparent.
His gaze easily pierced through and landed on the figure sitting upright in the main seat of the chariot.
Then, a face that wasn't unfamiliar to Cheng Buzheng came into clear view.
"Sha Minghong?"
"It's him! He's the new patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan?"
A hint of surprise flashed through Cheng Buzheng's mind.
He had met this demon a few times and knew that it was not the direct descendant of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan (the Crown Prince).
"According to previous intelligence, He is not the first in line to succeed, and His cultivation level does not seem to be among the highest in the clan..."
How did He successfully rise to power in this power transition?
