The entire street fell into a deathly silence. Everyone stared at the eighteen tentacles left behind by Ju Ba in a daze as their hearts churned.
Ju Ba was a renowned peak expert in the region of Divine City. He was known to be invincible among the same level of cultivation and had never been defeated. Only the ancestors of the three great clans who had not shown themselves for over a century or even several centuries could suppress him. Yet now, Ju Ba's eighteen tentacles had been easily severed by someone in the city. He could not even fight back. Everyone felt disbelief at the unbelievable sight.
"Are my eyes deceiving me? Ju Ba has actually been beaten up by someone, leaving behind his eighteen tentacles to flee. He doesn't even dare to say anything …"
"What kind of expert is this? Even the renowned Ju Ba Wang is no match for him. This person's strength is far too terrifying …"
"The person who severed Ju Ba's eighteen tentacles must be a 15th Star expert. Only 15th Star experts possess such strength in the entire world …"
"A respected 15th Star expert has come to our city …"
Only after quite a while did the people on the street return to their senses. They immediately burst into an uproar. Many people's eyes were filled with excitement. 15th Star experts were rare in the sea realm because they spent most of their time in seclusion and rarely ventured out.
The tavern remained deathly silent. Everyone stared at the well-dressed Jianchen who sat at a table by himself in fear. Their gazes were filled with undisguised fear and respect.
The two recruited Saint Rulers from the Blue Sky Adventurers became rather pale. When Jianchen had first joined the Blue Sky Adventurers, the two of them had spoken against Jianchen. Now that they had witnessed Jianchen's supreme strength, they immediately became frightened.
In particular, the magical beast who had provoked Jianchen was filled with regret. If he had known earlier that Jianchen was so powerful, he would not have dared to say something like that even if he was a hundred times bolder.
The magical beast hesitated before forcing himself to make his way to Jianchen's side uneasily. He said meekly, "Esteemed senior Yang Yutian, I, Tu Ge, take back what I just said and apologize to you. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive me for my disrespect." The magical beast's face was filled with sincerity. He was apologetic from the bottom of his heart. He deeply understood the consequences of offending a 15th Star expert.
Jianchen glanced at Tu Ge and said, "You sure are smart. I just wanted to settle our debts, and you've come to apologize. Whatever, since you're smart, slap yourself and leave immediately. I'll let bygones be bygones then...."
"Thank you, senior Yang Yutian, for your mercy." As if he had been pardoned, Tu Ge politely bowed to Jianchen before decisively slapping himself a few times and leaving with his tail between his legs.
Zhou Chuyun walked over and bitterly smiled, "I never thought that sir Yang Yutian would actually be a 15th Star expert. I was blind before, failing to tell that sir Yang Yutian was actually an otherworldly expert. Please forgive me, sir Yang Yutian."
"Oi, warrior Yang Yutian, are you really an otherworldly 15th Star expert? Can you tell me how you cultivate? How many years have you cultivated? How did you reach such a height? How enviable. The 15th Star is an expert of the Holy Emperor. " The only woman from the Blue Sky Adventurers walked over. She stared at Jianchen with sparkling eyes as admiration filled her face.
She was a woman who seemed to be in her twenties. She was lively and cute, with large, watery eyes. Although she was not devastatingly beautiful, she was still a rare beauty.
"Lin 'er, don't be rude." Zhou Chuyun glared at the woman before smiling at Jianchen, "Sir Yang Yutian, this is Chuyun's daughter, Zhou Lin. My daughter doesn't know any better, so please forgive her, sir Yang Yutian."
"It's fine. Captain Zhou Chuyun, let's go to the divine realm as soon as possible," said Jianchen.
Afterward, Zhou Chuyun left with the other members of the Blue Sky Adventurers and Jianchen. They directly hurried to the divine realm, but one of them was missing. It was the Beast Saint Ruler.
After Jianchen's group left, the news of a 15th Star expert severing eighteen of Ju Ba's tentacles spread through the entire city, causing a great uproar. The three great clans of the city obviously received the news as well.
In the Lanshan clan, Lan Mo's face was rather pale. He murmured, "I never thought he would actually be a 15th Star expert. Fortunately, I didn't do anything to him in the tavern, or I probably wouldn't have been able to return to the clan safely. Only my ancestor, who I haven't heard from in several decades, can contend against an expert like that."
However, a sliver of coldness appeared in Lan Mo's eyes soon after. He coldly said, "The large clans of Deorc City have received the news of the divine water of the world as well. They've already sent experts over. You're not the only 15th Star expert."
The divine realm was a dangerous region filled with danger. Not only were there dangers from beasts, but there were also the forces of nature. They possessed unfathomable power, where even Saint Rulers needed to avoid them.
Jianchen and the other members of the Blue Sky Adventurers had already entered the divine realm. They were currently walking through a barren land. A mysterious power permeated the area, suppressing the senses of Jianchen's soul. He could only expand his senses to less than a thousand meters away, which was even less than what he could see with his naked eye. Even flying was restricted. Once he was three meters above the ground, he would be suppressed by a mysterious and powerful force. Even Jianchen struggled to contend against it.
They chatted as they walked. Jianchen also learned the name of the human Saint Ruler that Zhou Chuyun had recruited. He was called Li Jun.
Along the way, they came across a few ignorant beasts. They were not very powerful, so they were all dealt with by Zhou Lin and the other Heaven Saint Masters.
Suddenly, a strange beastly roar was heard. Three ferocious beasts that looked like crabs appeared in everyone's line of sight. Each of them was ten meters long and had a long tail behind them. There was also a five-meter-long spike on the crab's shell. They were running horizontally towards them.
"It's 12th Star beasts. It's time for us to work again." Zhou Lin excitedly cheered. She charged toward the three beasts with the other seven Heaven Saint Masters, and they began fighting very soon.
Zhou Chuyun gently sighed as he watched the eight people battle the three vicious beasts. He said, "Originally, I was a disciple of a medium-sized sect beyond the seas. Aside from Zhou Lin, the other seven were all elite disciples of our sect. Afterwards, an enemy of our sect master came and wiped out the entire sect. Not a single one of the five thousand people in the sect survived. Including the sect master and the great elders, they were all killed by the enemy."
"During that time, I just happened to take these disciples to another island to train, which was why we managed to avoid the disaster. We then came to the sea realm, but Zhou Lin's mother had already died in the sect."
Zhou Chuyun's eyes were filled with pain. He could not bear to think about the past. It was an extremely painful memory to him. Every time he thought about it, his heart would ache.
"I've stayed in the sea realm with these disciples for over three hundred years. We've always been training in the divine realm, exchanging a few items from the divine realm for crystal coins and then diligently cultivating. During these three hundred years, I've broken through to Saint Ruler from the original Heaven Saint Master level, while they've all broken through to the Sixth Cycle of Heaven Saint Master level. They've all been stuck at the bottleneck of Saint Ruler. "
"My greatest wish is to find my enemy and avenge my wife once my strength reaches a certain level. Although I know that the chances are very slim, I will always work towards this goal." Zhou Chuyun gazed into the distance as determination filled his eyes.
Jianchen said nothing. He listened to Zhou Chuyun's story quietly as a guest. He was not affected at all. There were countless stories like Zhou Chuyun's on the Tian Yuan Continent.
How could one not be stabbed if they constantly roamed the jianghu?
At this moment, Zhou Lin and the others had already slain the three vicious beasts. They returned to Zhou Chuyun's side in disappointment and said, "It's a pity that we didn't find any thunderstones."
Thunderstones were materials for creating quaking thunders. They would appear in the bodies of a few vicious beasts in the divine realm, but not all of them would. Once they obtained a thunderstone, they would become quaking thunders as long as they were filled with energy.
The group continued to move forward. However, before long, the sky was covered by dark clouds. Loud and muffled sounds of thunder could be heard.
"Strange. Why is there thunder here? Is it going to rain?" Jianchen asked curiously as he stared at the sky. His face was filled with surprise. He was currently at the bottom of the sea. The protective barrier of the sea realm separated him from the water above, so he could not see the sun at all. Logically speaking, it was impossible for there to be thunder and rain.
Zhou Chuyun and the others immediately became stern when they saw the weather. They said with a heavy voice, "Oh no, the weather of the divine realm has changed again. We need to find a cave quickly, or even Saint Rulers will struggle to survive."
"It's that serious?" Jianchen became even more surprised.
"The thunder of the divine realm is not the thunder of the outside world, and the rain is not the rain of the outside world either. The lightning here is extremely dense, so it's very difficult to avoid it on the plains. Once you're struck by lightning, it'll directly injure your soul. Heaven Saint Masters are dead for sure, and even Saint Rulers can't last more than a few times. If you're struck thousands of times, even the Holy Emperor might die. However, the rain here is extremely corrosive. Once it touches you, it'll directly corrode your body. It ignores all defenses formed from energy. No matter how tough something is, it won't be able to stop the corrosion of the rain, "explained Zhou Chuyun. Zhou Chuyun explained as he quickly ran. He wanted to pass through the plains and reach the hills before the rain arrived.
Jianchen glanced at the dark sky and said, "It's probably too late. It's going to rain soon."
