Yan Zhaoge transformed into a streak of light, merging within the clear current formed of the Sweet Pouring Raindrops, instantly vanishing without a trace.
Everyone present was taken aback. The Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners had initially thought that Yan Zhaoge had made use of the power of the water vein to sneak away.
However, seeing Fu Enshu remain unmoving where she was, they denied their earlier guess. Carefully observing that clear current, they could vaguely see two figures within.
Two figures?
The group of people looked at each other in dismay and were somewhat puzzled.
The water formed of the Sweet Pouring Raindrops was clear and transparent, incomparably clean. However, those two figures seemed to have completely transformed into streaks of light as only their outlines could be seen amidst the water, not their exact features.
Looking at the Sweet Pouring Raindrops, the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners were greatly tempted, yet dared not approach.
Let alone Yan Zhaoge's situation being unclear within the water, they were also helpless against Fu Enshu who stood by the side, not daring to act rashly.
As time passed, the vortex that flickered with radiance up above still unceasingly formed the Sweet Pouring Raindrops, while the two figures within the water vein grew increasingly blurry.
After who knew how long, before the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners could react, Fu Enshu's eyes first twitched slightly.
She gazed into the distance, feeling the spiritual qi flow of the sea over there.
After a long time, the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners who were waiting here all felt the changes in that direction as well.
The Spirit Returning Sect martial practitioners were the first to reveal looks of joy.
While the Spirit Rhino Island martial practitioners were less joyful, they all revealed looks of relief on their faces as well.
The martial practitioners of the other powers and those of the forces of Good all revealed looks of joy on their faces, while those who were close to the forces of Evil had obscure expressions on their faces.
The solitary martial practitioners were all excited, because the show that they had all been anticipating was finally about to officially begin.
In the distance, the seawater surged, undercurrents surging and waves roiling as a few massive beings could vaguely be seen approaching.
When they could clearly be seen, they were several massive scaly dragons, their scales either black or blue. As their scales pulsed, an extremely vigorous, majestic power of qi and blood emanated from their bodies.
At the head of the group was a crimson flood dragon. Its body seemed to glow with fire, and as it leaped about in the depths of the sea, it was a dazzling sight.
What caused the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners who had come to spectate the battle to feel pressured was that these massive scaly dragons were all equivalent to martial experts, and experts who had reached the level of Essence Spirit Martial Grandmasters at that.
The other party did not need to send many people. Just this group of flood dragons was a force to be reckoned with.
One red, four black, and four blue, the nine flood dragons lined up and advanced side by side. They broke through the waves and arrived at the Deep Sea Corridor.
Not looking at anything else, just looking at those nine massive flood dragons, all the Vast Ocean World martial practitioners present knew the identity of the newcomer.
One of the Seven Pillars of Good, Water Crystal Palace.
On the backs of the nine flood dragons sat cultivators dressed in ocean-blue robes. There were both men and women.
Fu Enshu's gaze did not look at anyone else, only looking at an old man on the back of that scarlet serpent. That old man was the Grand Elder of Water Crystal Palace who was leading the team this time, a veteran Martial Grandmaster expert.
The old man stood there like a blue ocean. It was as if he was boundless and immeasurable, making it difficult to fathom his depth.
Seeing this old man, many of the spectators bowed towards him, "Greetings, Elder Dong."
Elder Dong nodded slightly, seeming to sense something as he gazed towards Fu Enshu as well. Feeling that she looked very unfamiliar, he could not help but knit his brows slightly.
Fu Enshu then looked at the blue-robed man beside that Elder Dong. His long hair was completely ocean-blue as well, his expression calm.
This person was naturally one of the contenders for today's battle, the 'Blue Dragon' Zhang Haocheng who hailed from Water Crystal Palace and was currently ranked first amongst the top ten Essence Spirit experts of the Vast Ocean World.
On the backs of the other scaly dragons were other Water Crystal Palace martial practitioners. Amongst them were youngsters with comparatively lower cultivation bases who had been brought along by their seniors to broaden their horizons.
With Fu Enshu's cultivation base, she too appraised Zhang Haocheng carefully.
Late Essence Spirit stage nine leaves blossoming nine flowers. Even in the Eight Extremities World, such figures were few and far between.
The number of Manifested Spirit Flowers displayed a martial practitioner's current strength to a certain extent, at the same time also displaying their future potential.
Of course, their current strength and hidden potential did not mean that they would definitely be superior to others in the future.
Still, as compared to martial practitioners with eight leaves blossoming eight flowers or nine leaves blossoming eight flowers, Zhang Haocheng with nine leaves blossoming nine flowers had a higher starting point, his chances of success being greater.
Him currently occupying the throne of first amongst the top ten Essence Spirit experts was already proof of this.
Fu Enshu appraised Zhang Haocheng for a moment before retracting her gaze, looking in the direction of the Bewildering Maze Sea.
That Water Crystal Palace's Elder Dong looked curiously at the Sweet Pouring Raindrops and Fu Enshu before also gazing in the direction of the Bewildering Maze Sea.
After a moment, a piercing killing intent emanated from the direction of the Bewildering Maze Sea.
The formless sabre-intent broke apart the seawater, a crevice directly splitting open within the great sea as the seawater parted to the sides, a path appearing in the middle.
A group of black-clothed martial practitioners walked over from the distance, their terrifying auras seemingly transforming into a formless, massive blade that opened up a path before them.
Only after they had passed did the seawater close up once more, regaining its original state.
"The people of the Dragon Slayer Sect have come as well," The people of Good present all felt solemn, while the Devil martial practitioners felt exhilarated.
The leader of the black-clothed group was a black-clothed middle-aged man who had a long beard and a sabre by his waist, his aura not any weaker than that of Water Crystal Palace's Elder Dong in the slightest.
Beside him was a tall black-clothed martial practitioner.
Seeing this person, Zhang Haocheng nodded mildly, "Li Sheng."
The tall black-clothed martial practitioner was the 'Heaven Slaying Pillar' Li Sheng who had challenged Zhang Haocheng to a battle today, the current second ranked figure amongst the top ten Essence Spirit experts of the Vast Ocean World.
Beside Li Sheng were similarly many Dragon Slayer Sect martial practitioners.
While there were conflicts between Good and Evil in the Vast Ocean World from time to time, the current situation was relatively mild. However, a battle between experts on the level of Zhang Haocheng and Li Sheng was not something to be trifled with. Water Crystal Palace and the Dragon Slayer Sect both viewed it with great importance, their respective longtime experts holding down the fort.
The gazes of the Dragon Slayer Sect martial practitioners that looked at Li Sheng were filled with confidence.
Led by their clan's longtime Elder, the group of Dragon Slayer Sect martial practitioners halted, while Li Sheng continued to advance, surpassing them.
As Li Sheng advanced, numerous black sabre-lights surged around him, flickering amidst space.
Wherever the sabre-lights passed, the scenes at the bottom of the sea seemed to shatter, appearing exceptionally terrifying.
Boundless killing intent and viciousness caused everyone present to feel like they were about to suffocate.
Looking at that terrifying sabre-light, everyone simultaneously inhaled a breath of cold air, "No wonder he challenged Zhang Haocheng. So he has already mastered the sixth sabre of the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre, the Shattering Annihilation Sabre!"
The supreme martial art of the Dragon Slayer Sect, the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre, was rumoured to have a total of seven sabres, the final one of which could only be mastered by Martial Saints.
It was with this final sabre that the Chief of the Dragon Slayer Sect had rampaged the seven seas, slaughtering all lifeforms. In the great battle that year, he had even relied on this sabre to suppress the Palace Lord of Water Crystal Palace, being acclaimed as the number one expert of the Vast Ocean World.
Other than this final sabre, the strongest sabre of the Seven Seas Dragon Slaying Sabre was the sixth sabre. It had always been believed that only Essence Talisman Martial Grandmasters could master it.
However, Li Sheng who was clearly still at the late Essence Spirit stage had mastered this sabre, virtually cheating in a battle against those below the Essence Talisman stage. Everyone could not help but feel shocked.
Looking at Li Sheng, Zhang Haocheng took out an item.
Seeing this, Li Sheng's pupils instantly dilated slightly. (To be continued.)
