Xiao Chen felt a malicious gaze. He looked up and discovered that it was the Immortal Cultivator with the Purple Thunder True Fire. He was currently sizing him up with malicious intent.
Xiao Chen glanced at him and did not mind. Others did not understand Immortal Cultivation, so it would be difficult for them to deal with these two. However, Xiao Chen guaranteed that he would teach the other party an unforgettable lesson.
After the jade medallions were distributed, Princess Yao Yan placed the core jade medallion in Xiao Chen's hand. "This time, I'll leave it to Young Master Xiao."
"Your Highness, do you intend to go in personally?" Xiao Chen did not reject the jade medallion as he received it.
"Yes. After all, I have been in there once before and am familiar with the terrain. Without me leading the way, it will take more time to find the evil Demon's main body in Neptune."
Including Xiao Chen and Yao Yan, a total of twenty-odd cultivators entered Neptune.
These twenty people either had lightning-attributed flames or Secret Treasures with lightning-attributed flames. After they entered, they would be able to protect themselves and would not end up as nourishment for the evil Demon for no reason.
Yao Yan explained the things to take note of again. Then, she led the group out of this dream-like castle and into the deep sea.
They could not breathe or speak underwater. They could only circulate their energies to breathe. To speak, they had to condense their voices into strings. Although it drained a lot of energy, it was not a big problem for this group of Martial Sage experts.
Even without any supplies, this group of people could live well at the bottom of the sea for at least half a year.
Martial Sages were extraordinary, nourishing Heavenly Sage Laws. As they breathed, they could absorb large amounts of Spiritual Energy and convert it into purer Law Energy. There was a huge difference between them and cultivators who had not advanced to Martial Sage yet.
All sorts of strange things could be seen in the deep sea. There were sea beasts as large as mountains, strange fish in groups, sea trees rooted to the bottom, and many more.
The group was not in the mood to look at this strange sight at the bottom of the sea. Under Princess Yao Yan's lead, the group advanced quickly.
Half a day later, at an abandoned castle at the bottom of the sea:
In the center of the ruined city, there was a strange scene. Pitch-black energy formed an iron wok like light screen, upside down on the ground.
Every hundred meters around the light screen, there were Merfolk experts sitting cross-legged in the seawater with their eyes closed.
All of them had solemn expressions on their faces. From time to time, they would send out surging power of laws into the pitch-black light barrier, causing it to become even tighter.
Clearly, this was the outer seal of the Palace of Neptune. In order to maintain this seal, the Merfolk had sent all their top masters over.
But even so, the situation still didn't look optimistic.
At the top of the light curtain stood two Blue Robed Emperor rank powerhouses. Seeing the arrival of Yao Yan and the others, the two Blue Robed Emperor rank powerhouses merely raised their eyelids but did not come down.
Although such a huge seal had already formed, it required a huge amount of energy to maintain at all times. Otherwise, it could collapse at any time.
The two of them had to maintain the seal and could not leave at all. Furthermore, this was not a long-term solution. Only by sealing the main body of the evil Demon in the Palace of Neptune would they be able to rest easy.
Otherwise, the outer seal would collapse sooner or later. When the evil Demon's clone broke free, it would be a disaster for all the Merfolk in the Chaotic Demonic Sea.
Originally, there was no need to put in so much effort. With the perfect seal that the Qing Emperor had laid back then, as long as it did not move, there would be no need to create an outer seal to seal the entire Palace of Neptune.
However, the few powerhouses of the Merfolk race were too greedy. They wanted to refine the entire Palace of Neptune and become the new generation of Sovereign Martial Emperors, Neptune.
In the end, the evil Demon's main body schemed against them and suffered heavy losses. The nine Emperor Wu's all died in there. The seal that the Qing Emperor left loosened, so they had no choice but to add a huge barrier around the Palace of Neptune.
"Yao Yan, are these all people with lightning-attributed flames?"
A grandmaster-level Martial Sage Merfolk Race old man took some time to land in front of Yao Yan and the others.
"There is a total of twenty people, all cultivators with lightning-attributed flames. The weakest of them is a Medial Grade Martial Sage. This time, we will definitely be able to complete the seal. At that time, the seniors will not have to spend any more time on this outer seal. "
Yao Yan said calmly, a resolute expression in her eyes.
"I hope that is the case. Otherwise, the entire Merfolk Race will have to migrate."
The old man did not think much of this group of people. He was very clear on how many of them came sincerely to help. After giving them a few words of encouragement, he did not say anything more.
After the initial shock, the others revealed excited expressions in their eyes, clearly impatient.
After hanging up the jade pendants, Yao Yan led the group into the inner part of the seal. Then, they passed through the pitch-black barrier and entered.
A sinister wind blew, silent and silent. The sky turned dark. This place was isolated from the seawater. When the group landed, they heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, they were not of the Merfolk Race. After staying in the water for a long time, they would not be used to it.
"Ga! Ga! Ga! Another group of blood food. How comfortable! I want to eat! I want to eat!"
Before Xiao Chen and the others could find their footing, strange laughter rang out in their ears. They were all sharp voices saying "I want to eat! I want to eat!"
There were many black clouds floating in front of them like a violent gale. The black clouds were of different sizes, and there were at least a thousand of them, densely packed together.
When the group got closer, they discovered that each black cloud was an evil Demon. Their silhouettes were similar to humans. However, their facial features were distorted, and their bodies were made of smoke. They looked extremely strange.
"Be careful. These are clones made of the evil Demon's wills. Martial Techniques will find it hard to injure them. Don't let them get close. Otherwise, if they enter your brain, even a god would not be able to save you."
Yao Yan's expression turned serious. He placed the Thorn Sovereign Circlet on his head and took out a short sword containing a lightning-attributed flame.
The short sword was only about one meter long and covered in a layer of lightning-attributed flame. It was a King Grade Secret Treasure. However, it was much weaker than the Extreme Thunder Sword. The lightning-attributed flame on it was clearly of a lower grade than the Extreme Thunder True Flame.
When the others saw the evil Demon for the first time, they did not dare to be careless. Those who had lightning-attributed flames summoned them out and covered their entire bodies, not leaving any openings.
Those who only had lightning-attributed Secret Treasures could not form such tight defenses. They only hovered their Secret Treasures above their heads, ready to attack at any time.
As the battle approached, Xiao Chen finally had the time to check out the strength of the others.
Aside from the two from the Penglai Sea, there were five others that attracted Xiao Chen's attention.
One of them was Lang Taotian, the top true inheritor of the Xuanshui Sect. He was indeed quite capable. The lightning-attributed flame that Lang Taotian refined was bright red. This kind of lightning-attributed flame was called the Blood Kill Lightning Flame. It was not of a low grade and was as famous as the Extreme Thunder True Flame.
There were two youths, one male and one female, from the Chaotic Demonic Sea's Spirit Returning Island. Their Secret Treasures were almost the same, a purple Fire Beacon Lightning Banner. However, there were some differences in the details.
The one that attracted Xiao Chen's attention the most was an old man with deep cultivation. Several people in the group treated this person as their leader. According to Yao Yan's introduction, this old man was called Yan Chihai. These people all came from the same faction, the Northern Sea Alliance.
After passing the Chaotic Demonic Sea, there was an even vaster sea region. That was the true center of the oceanic world. It was called the Heavenly Starry Ocean, which meant that this boundless sea region could contain all the stars in the sky.
The Northern Sea Alliance was a major faction in the northern part of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. It was an alliance formed by several peak sects.
As for the Xuanshui Sect and Spirit Returning Island, they were just large sects at the periphery of the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Compared to a peak faction like the Northern Sea Alliance, there was still a clear gap.
Yan Chihai wore black embroidered clothes. The Secret Treasure hovering above his head was a mirror containing a fierce lightning-attributed flame, looking very mysterious.
Finally, there was a youth who was very low-profile. He wore purple armor flickering with sparks of lightning-attributed flame. It did not look very mighty. However, Xiao Chen estimated that the Purple Thunder Treasure Armor he wore was of the highest grade among all the people who came.
This person also came from the Heavenly Starry Ocean and was a Superior Grade Martial Sage. His name was Leng Ao, but he did not have any pride in his bones. When he stood in the crowd, it was easy to overlook him.
Not counting Long Fei and Qi Wuxue, the other cultivators could not compare to these five.
"Pu ci!
Pu ci! "Just as Xiao Chen was thinking, the group started fighting the evil Demon clans. The situation tilted to one side. The one-thousand-odd evil Demon clans flying over could not put up a fight against the various lightning-attributed flames. All of them burned to ashes.
"Haha! What evil Demon clans? They are only so-so."
Xiao Chen easily swept away this group of evil Demon clans. Aside from a few scratches, the rest were unharmed. He killed the evil Demon clans like he was chopping vegetables, killing one with each strike.
Without even needing Xiao Chen to make a move, he killed them all.
"Something's not right. The last time I came, I met with several evil Demon clans that were hard to deal with. Why are they all just trash this time?" Princess Yao Yan frowned heavily, not daring to advance.
Raising his guard, Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense, scanning the area again and again. Aside from some hazy clouds in the sky in front, he did not discover anything strange. However, he felt a pressure on his body. He kept feeling that something was not right.
The others also felt that something was not right. They all sent out their Mental Energy and did not discover anything. Only then did they relax.
Furthermore, they had killed a large number of Blood Demons earlier, so the group's morale was high. Someone smiled and said, "Your Highness, you are probably overthinking. Our lightning-attributed flames are probably too loud, scaring away those powerful evil Demon clans. If we do not enter Neptune's Palace, we will not run into them."
Perhaps that was the case. Yao Yan looked at the blurry silhouette of the palace at the limits of her vision. She said, "Let's go. No matter what, it is always good to be cautious."
After advancing for a while, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped and focused on the hazy clouds in the sky in front. The clouds were very thin, looking like mist. There did not seem to be anything wrong with them.
However, when Xiao Chen took a closer look, he simulated it in his heart. Then, his expression changed drastically.
If this hazy cloud was shrunk by a thousand times, it would clearly be a distorted ghostly face with its mouth wide open, looking very ferocious.
From a distance, it looked like the group had taken the initiative to walk into this huge mouth.
"Be careful! Everyone, move back! It is dangerous in front!" Xiao Chen quickly shouted. Then, he circulated some of the Dragon Tone Art's techniques.
Xiao Chen's voice was like thunder, entering everyone's minds. Those who reacted quickly and trusted Xiao Chen more immediately took out their Secret Treasures and retreated.
