Amidst the clamor of the crowd, a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the surface of the sea. The Chieftains immediately knelt down on the deck respectfully.
Soon, a gigantic snake head the size of a small hill emerged from the surface of the sea. It was a greenish-black snake head, with a pair of pale yellow eyes that were cold and merciless.
What caught everyone's attention was the peculiar horn that grew on the snake's head. Daoist Rhymes swirled around the horn, giving off a terrifying power.
The noisy crowd felt as if they had been plunged into an icehouse when they saw the giant snake. They were so frightened that they could not speak.
"Greetings, Serpent Deity!"
"Greetings, Serpent Deity!"
The Chieftains of the 36 Oceanic Islands greeted respectfully.
The Serpent Deity ignored them. Its cold eyes swept across the offerings on the 36 ships. When it saw the 3,000 young boys and girls, a look of admiration appeared in its eyes.
"Whitesmoke Island Chieftain, you've done well."
The Serpent Deity spoke. It sounded like a man's voice, but it was extremely sharp, as if it was about to pierce through one's eardrums.
The 3,000 young boys and girls cried even louder when they heard the voice.
"Thank you for the compliment, Serpent Deity. As long as the Serpent Deity is satisfied, I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you," Whitesmoke Island Chieftain said excitedly.
"Very well. I'm going to enjoy the offerings now. You guys can leave first," the Serpent Deity said calmly.
"Yes."
The Chieftains of the 36 Oceanic Islands got up and flew away from the ships.
After they left, the Serpent Deity dove back into the sea. However, a deathly chill filled the entire surface of the sea.
Just then, a huge tail emerged from the sea, splashing water as it slammed into one of the ships.
With a loud bang, the ship broke apart. Tens of thousands of people fell into the sea, screaming in fear. The Serpent Deity opened its mouth and sucked one person after another into its mouth. The surface of the sea was instantly dyed red with blood.
"No, help!"
"Sob, I don't want to die …"
Cries of agony could be heard from the sea.
Some cultivators wanted to resist, but the might of the Serpent Deity was not something that these low-level cultivators could withstand.
The Serpent Deity devoured people very quickly. With a single breath, it sucked in hundreds of people. It did not even need to chew to swallow them.
Before long, tens of thousands of people were buried in the Serpent Deity's stomach.
But this was only the sacrifice for the first ship.
To the Serpent God, it was just an appetizer.
His cold yellow snake eyes looked at the boat carrying the three thousand boys and girls, and he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Let's save the best for last."
The Serpent God then cast his gaze at the other ship.
With a flick of its tail, the ship broke apart.
Countless people fell into the water, and screams of fear rose and fell.
The scene from before continued to play out.
Tens of thousands of cultivators and commoners were devoured by the Serpent Deity.
High up in the air, the island leaders of the 36 islands watched on coldly. There was no trace of pity on their faces. They were used to this.
One ship, two ships, three ships …
More than ten large ships sank to the bottom of the sea, and more than a hundred thousand people were buried in the snake's stomach.
At that moment, the Serpent Deity had already arrived in front of Blackwind Island's ship.
Some of the people captured here were the people from the Four Seas Trading Firm who were escorting the Cloudflow ore. At this moment, their faces were filled with despair.
"I never thought that I would have to pay with my life for just escorting a batch of ores, and in such a manner."
"Me too."
"Damn it, I don't want to die yet."
An old man had his eyes closed.
Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from his body. While the Serpent God was approaching him, he threw a punch with all his might.
The punch swept across the sky, creating waves of air.
He even used some kind of secret technique that burned his life for this punch!
"Elder Liu!"
This old man was the leader of the team that escorted the ores. He was a Golden Core cultivator, but he was injured by the disciples of Blackwind Island and had been secretly healing himself ever since he was brought to this ship.
Now that he had recovered and burned his life, his attack power had reached the Nascent Soul level.
However, when this punch landed on the Serpent Deity's head, it burst like a bubble. The Serpent God merely looked at him playfully, not feeling anything at all.
"As expected … it's useless."
Elder Liu smiled bitterly. How could a mere Golden Core cultivator like him, who was worshipped by the 36 islands as a god?
In the next moment, he was directly swallowed into the Serpent God's stomach.
"Damn it, damn it …"
"Damn it."
"Don't eat me, don't eat me."
Angry shouts and pleas for mercy were heard one after another.
The entire ship was shrouded in despair.
"It's over."
A young woman closed her eyes, preparing to die.
Suddenly, she seemed to hear some kind of rumbling sound. This sound was very prominent in the midst of all the shouting and cursing.
She could not help but open her eyes.
She saw that the Serpent God, who was about to devour everyone, was raising its head and staring at the sky. There was a hint of seriousness in its eyes.
The rumbling sound that the young woman heard came from the sky as well.
The rumbling sound did not stop. It was as if something was piercing through the sky and was about to break through the void. The Island Lords looked towards the source of the sound.
"What is it?"
"There it is."
They saw a terrifying wave of air descending from the sky above the Serpent God. Upon closer inspection, they realized that it was a … sword!
It was a beautiful white jade long sword!
A sword that caused the Island Masters of the 36 Isles to suck in a breath of cold air!
The beautiful sword pierced through the sky and landed on the Serpent God's head with a loud bang. The terrifying force smashed the Serpent God's head into the sea, creating a huge pillar of water and waves.
The surrounding ships were pushed away by the waves.
"It's him!"
"Damn it, why is he here!"
The Island Lords of the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands stared at the surface of the sea.
The water pillar fell like a rainstorm. Amidst the mist, everyone could only see a white-robed figure standing on the surface of the water.
That person held a beautiful ancient sword in his hand. He was dressed in white and had black hair. His face was so handsome that it did not look like it belonged to this world.
It was Chu Kuangren!
When he saw the wreckage of dozens of ships and the sea that was dyed red with blood, he knew that he was too late. After all, many people had died in the hands of the Serpent God.
When he saw the three thousand wailing boys and girls, an incomparably blazing killing intent surged in his chest.
He glanced at the Thirty-Six Oceanic Islands' Island Lords in the sky. The coldness in his eyes sent chills down their spines.
"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Why is Chu Kuangren here?!" One of the Island Lords asked in fear.
Chu Kuangren was too famous in the Firmament Star.
They could even call him the best in the world!
"I'm the one who brought him here."
At that moment, the talon-shaped nose old man appeared in front of everyone.
The Ravengale Island Lord's expression changed when he saw him. He hurriedly bowed and asked, "Sage, what's going on?"
The talon-shaped nose old man briefly explained what happened.
He then said coldly, "Chu Kuangren is too much of a threat. Today is the perfect time for the Serpent God to get rid of him!"
The other Island Lords breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that.
'That's right, we still have the Serpent God.'
They knew very well how powerful the Serpent God was.
