"Where is this place?" Su Han floated in the water and asked Hao Ren in bafflement.
"The Demon Sea," Hao Ren answered.
Qiu Niu's strike had almost broken all his limbs and bones, and he couldn't use any nature essence now.
Su Han wasn't any better. That strike had directly entered her mind, and her realm dropped from peak Qian-level to top-tier Qian-level!
However, it was a good price to pay for the Nuwa Stone.
Hao Ren looked around and didn't see Zhao Kuo. He guessed that Zhao Kuo must have been swept to another place in the Demon Sea.
He looked up at the sky and saw that the Nine Dragon Palace was nowhere to be seen in the gray sky!
"The Demon Sea is below the Nine Dragon Palace. So, the array formation of the Demon Sea …"
Hao Ren seemed to understand the relationship between the two.
The array formation of the Nine Dragon Palace not only worked on the inside but also on the outside! The demon kings in the Demon Sea couldn't get out of the Demon Sea because of the Nine Dragon Palace's protection!
Lady Zhen probably had her own secret technique to break through the barrier of the Demon Sea, which was enough to prove that she was more powerful than most demon kings!
Now that she had taken in a disciple, Duan Yao, she didn't have to do things in person.
Whoosh …
The ocean waves surged as if they were boiling.
Hao Ren sensed the intensity of nature essence in the ocean and found that they had fallen into the inner area of the Demon Sea.
If Hao Ren still had Lady Zhen's purple gold hairpin, he would be able to hold the fort. However, the purple gold hairpin had exploded, the small shield was missing, and he and Su Han's nature essence was temporarily sealed. Qiu Niu had knocked them out of the Nine Dragon Palace and thrown them into the Demon Sea, killing them!
A one-horned devil dragon rose from the ocean, and its body was covered with thick ice armor.
Hao Ren and Su Han had just escaped from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.
Su Han's realm was still there, but she couldn't move at all. Her purple sweater was soaked, and she could barely float by Hao Ren's side.
She had never been in such a difficult situation before!
"Don't be afraid!"
Hao Ren put one arm around her waist and condensed a hundun lightning bolt in his other hand. However, this lightning bolt was so weak that it was only the size of a thumb, and he was just trying to comfort himself.
"Are you Hao Ren, Gongzi Hao?" The One-Horned Demon Dragon suddenly asked Hao Ren and Su Han in the human language.
Hao Ren froze, and Su Han also looked at Hao Ren in surprise.
"Yes!" Hao Ren answered.
"The Goddess ordered us to wait here. Today, when we saw the two of you falling from the Heavenly Palace, we guessed that you were Young Master Hao. As expected." The Single-Horned Devil Dragon completely floated up from the surface of the sea, revealing its majestic demonic body.
It was even bigger than the biggest fierce beast they had seen in the Nine Dragon Palace. When it rose from the surface of the sea, the seawater surged.
"How should I address you, Senior?" Hao Ren asked cautiously as he condensed the hundun godly lightning.
"I'm just a nobody among the eight million demon soldiers of Lady Zhen, and I'm not worth mentioning. Gongzi Hao, please follow me to the Pity Flower Palace. I can't afford to be late."
The One-Horned Demonic Dragon replied with a rumbling sound.
Hao Ren was slightly relieved when he heard Lady Zhen's name. If it were the demon soldiers of other demon kings, they would have attacked directly instead of wasting time.
"If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, we can't avoid it." Hao Ren pointed his toes at the surface of the sea and jumped up with Su Han, standing on the back of the One-Horned Devil Dragon.
Su Han didn't expect that she would enter the core of the Demon Sea and fall from the sky like this. The Demon Sea was no less dangerous than the Nine Dragon Palace, and it might even be more dangerous.
She didn't expect that she would have to rely on Hao Ren after leaving the Nine Dragon Palace.
However, the thick nature essence in the Demon Sea was several times denser than the nature essence in the Dragon God Shrine, and it was perfect for Su Han to recover her nature essence.
The nature essence in the Demon Sea probably had something to do with the Nine Dragon Palace. The hundun energy in the Nine Dragon Palace probably had something to do with the ancient godly weapon on the Heaven-Reaching Tower.
With Hao Ren and Su Han on its back, the One-Horned Devil Dragon swam steadily toward the distance like a moving mountain on the surface of the sea.
In the places where the nature essence was relatively thin near the surface of the sea, level 8 and level 9 demon beasts were wandering. Using its own demonic energy as a level 10 demon beast to cover Hao Ren and Su Han's nature essence, it didn't attract the attention of the big and small demon kings at the bottom of the sea.
In the last two to three days, Lady Zhen had sent out thousands of level 10 demon beasts to patrol the surface of the sea, forcing the level 8 and level 9 demon beasts not to show themselves.
Now that the One-Horned Devil Dragon had successfully picked up the person Lady Zhen wanted, it was ready to go back and receive the reward.
Standing on the back of the devil dragon with Hao Ren, Su Han sensed the Nuwa Stone in her storage ring, and she was slightly relieved.
After coming out of the Nine Dragon Palace, the famous Nuwa Stone had turned into a dry grey pebble.
If she didn't take it out from the Heaven-Reaching Tower in the Nine Dragon Palace, Su Han wouldn't believe that it was one of the legendary ancient godly weapons.
If this Nuwa Stone was thrown into a pile of pebbles, Su Han wouldn't be able to pick out the real one.
It also proved that ordinary cultivators couldn't have godly weapons that were beyond the limit.
Boom!
While Su Han was secretly delighted, the ocean waves around the One-Horned Devil Dragon suddenly surged violently.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk … This is my territory. You can't just walk through it!"
A sharp and ear-piercing voice rose from the bottom of the sea. Suddenly, a 100-meter-tall water column appeared out of nowhere, and a thin figure appeared under the water.
Roar!
The mountain-like One-Horned Devil Dragon shot out two black deadly lights from its eyes!
"Cackle … You are just a level 10 demon beast, and you dare to show off!" The vague figure swallowed the black lights of the One-Horned Devil Dragon. Suddenly, a big hole appeared in the body of the One-Horned Devil Dragon that was carrying Hao Ren and Su Han.
"Cackle …"
Wearing a red robe, a small demon with a bull nose and a pointy head appeared before Hao Ren and Su Han while holding a red shoe.
Hua …
Like a mountain, the One-Horned Devil Dragon sank into the surging ocean. A level 10 demon beast was vulnerable in front of such a big demon king.
Xuhao was the weakest among the ten big demon kings, and his territory was the smallest. However, he was proficient in concealment techniques. He was an evil ghost that had turned into a spirit and was condensed from an ancient obsession. He jumped out of the five elements, and even some great monster kings couldn't do anything to him. As such, as long as one was entangled by him, it would be extremely troublesome.
Seeing him, Hao Ren remembered that when he escaped from the Demon Sea, he was almost sneak-attacked by Xuhao. It was a close call.
Xuhao was short and skinny. The red robe draped over his scrawny body made him look a little funny. Tilting his thin neck, he looked up and down at Hao Ren and Su Han as if he was thinking about how to eat them.
"Cackle … You still have the Immortal Physique. Although you lost some vital energy, you are still the best choice for making elixirs." Xuhao looked at Hao Ren in satisfaction. Then, he glanced at Su Han who was beside Hao Ren and said, "This one has soft skin and tender flesh. She is at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm and will be a great tonic."
His long tongue stuck out of his withered mouth and curled around greedily. In the Demon Sea, he had eaten many small demon kings in human form, but he still liked the taste of human cultivators the most.
However, he hadn't eaten a human cultivator for many years while he was locked in the Demon Sea, especially the flesh of such young human cultivators.
Now that one had the Immortal Physique while the other was at top-tier Nascent Soul Realm, Xuhao's eyes lit up with excitement!
"Big Dream!" Su Han's longsword flew toward Xuhao with a swoosh.
"Kaka … The more you resist, the more delicious it will be!" Xuhao's two thin arms reached out from his red robe, allowing Su Han's longsword to pierce through his body.
However, his body seemed to be invisible, and it was like a shadow. Su Han's longsword pierced through his body and came back, but it didn't affect him at all.
He wasn't a part of the five elements. Instead, he was a mass of ancient obsession, and he was just a shadow. Since he had devoured people's fear, panic, and hatred, he had gradually materialized. Unlike demon beasts and demon kings, he didn't have a real body. Therefore, Su Han's five-elemental cultivation technique didn't work on him.
It was the first time that Su Han had encountered such a monster. She immediately put away her longsword and created an energy sphere.
However, Hao Ren knew that Su Han's energy sphere had no effect on him. Just like the evil ghosts in the legends who could enter people's hearts, no matter how many swords and sabers were placed around him.
Hum!
Hao Ren's sword energies connected with each other and formed a circular energy sphere that flashed with lightning energy.
Almost at the same time, Xuhao's sharp claws reached toward Su Han, but a wave of crackling lightning energy bounced his claws back.
Only Hao Ren's lightning bolts had a certain effect on him!
"It's a lightning technique!" Xuhao looked at Hao Ren in astonishment.
With a snort, Hao Ren put his hands together, and dozens of hundun sword energies shot toward Xuhao.
"Cackle …" Xuhao let out a series of creepy chilling sounds and suddenly disappeared from Hao Ren's sight.
However, Hao Ren wasn't naive enough to think that Xuhao had escaped. He knew that Xuhao must be hiding somewhere, but Hao Ren couldn't detect him with his spiritual senses!
His realm had dropped from peak Qian-level to Xun-level. Since he had used Zhao Haoran's 1,000-year cultivation strength, his body was injured, and he couldn't use the sword array formations.
Xuhao seemed to know that Hao Ren couldn't hold on for long, so he hid beside Hao Ren and Su Han.
If he tried his best, he would be able to break Hao Ren's weak lightning energy sphere. However, since he was good at sneak attacks, he didn't want to fight head-on.
This was his sea territory. He could slowly wear down Hao Ren's strength without causing too much of a commotion and attracting the attention of other big demon kings!
Hao Ren's nature essence was about to run out, and the energy sphere that was flashing with lightning energy was about to collapse. Suddenly, a surge of abundant nature essence poured into his back.
Su Han pressed her palms against Hao Ren's and transferred some of her top-tier Qian-level cultivation strength to Hao Ren! In the Demon Sea where nature essence was abundant, she had recovered some of her cultivation strength in a short time!
"Sword array formation! Rise! "
The 2,560 sword energies combined into 512 hundun sword energies!
Su Han felt the nature essence in her body pouring out like a waterfall!
Six Ding Six Jia Array Formation!
Hao Ren's sword energies shot out horizontally!
Last time, he was injured by Xuhao, and he had been trying to get revenge. However, he didn't expect that he would enter the Demon Sea and encounter this evil ghost again before his realm could reach the level he wanted!
Now that he had encountered this ghost, he would try his best to kill it!
Feeling that almost all the nature essence in her body was sucked out by Hao Ren, Su Han threw herself at Hao Ren's back, feeling like two-thirds of her strength was drained!
The greyish-white sword light struck Xuhao's figure in the surrounding space!
"Mystic Water Sword Techniques, the second strike!"
The hundun sword energies turned into a colorful sword with flashing lightning energy and stabbed toward Xuhao's heart. Hao Ren stood where he was, but his sword moved according to his will!
"Five-Elemental Lightning Fusion!" Xuhao's green eyes were filled with panic, and he quickly turned into a cloud of white smoke and tried to escape into the ocean.
The heavenly lightning was the Heavenly Stars, and it could destroy all the five elements and all the evil!
With Hao Ren's Xun-level realm and Su Han's Qian-level realm, there were at least two Xun-level cultivators!
Hao Ren made up his mind to kill this evil ghost with one strike in case it continued to cause trouble!
The colorful sword hacked toward the ocean and instantly cut the white smoke into two halves. Hao Ren had condensed abundant Mystic Yang Essence in the sword energies, and it was specially designed to deal with evil ghosts like him!
The water dozens of meters below the surface of the ocean was clearly illuminated.
The cloud of white smoke tried to escape deeper, but Hao Ren suddenly released all his nature essence. Su Han felt like all her nature essence was sucked out by Hao Ren.
Hiss … Hao Ren's colorful sword shot out a beam of light toward the center of the cloud of white smoke.
"Young Master, please spare my life! I'm willing to do anything for you!" At this critical moment, Xuhao begged for mercy.
Hao Ren wouldn't give him such a chance. From the murderous spirit in the cloud of white smoke, Hao Ren could tell that this ghost had devoured many cultivators!
"Su Han … Nuwa Stone!" Hao Ren yelled.
He was worried that his sword light would not be able to eliminate the root of the problem, and that the evil spirit that followed him like a shadow would come back again.
Surprised, Su Han took out the Nuwa Stone from her storage ring.
Hao Ren injected the last bit of hundun energy into the Nuwa Stone, and five-colored light instantly lit up the entire Demon Sea.
Xuhao who was about to separate a cloud of black smoke from the white smoke yelled in desperation, "Nuwa Stone!"
He had never imagined that an ancient godly item would appear here!
Hiss …
Under the light of the Nuwa Stone, Xuhao melted into nothing. If Hao Ren's lightning sword energies didn't cut off half of his soul, he might have had a chance to escape.
As one of the top ten demon kings, Xuhao had never imagined that he would die in the hands of Hao Ren, who was supposed to be his prey!
Boom! Boom!
The waves surged into the sky.
The demon kings were alarmed, and they all rushed over.
"Let's go!" Hao Ren pulled Su Han up and controlled her longsword with metal-elemental and water-elemental energies, and they fled into the ocean.
"Damn it! Why am I always running for my life when I'm with Hao Ren?" Su Han complained silently as she stuck close to Hao Ren.
In a flash, Hao Ren took out a token and hung it on his waist.
