However, there were also several people who were too slow to make a move or did not know what was going on; they showed confused expressions.
The originally hazy clouds in the sky churned quickly and gathered continuously. In the blink of an eye, they formed an evil Demon clone with a realistic body.
The evil Demon clone's twisted facial features showed a sinister smile, making everyone tremble in fear. Then, it turned into ten red beams of light and charged downwards.
Immediately, three people could not dodge the red beams of light that suddenly appeared, and they entered their heads.
The expected miserable shrieks did not happen immediately. The three cultivators whose heads were pierced by the red beams of light had confused expressions on their faces. Their appearances did not seem to have changed.
"Crunch! Crunch!" Soon, chewing sounds came from the three people's heads.
No words could describe the pained expressions on these three people's faces. Their facial features twisted together as they clutched their heads and rolled on the ground, letting out silent cries of anguish.
The three of them pounded their heads hard. Their fingers scratched the skin on their faces, causing blood to flow out. However, they did not stop, scratching with all their might as if they wanted to pull out the things in their heads.
Their faces turned even more horrifying than a monster's. The three Martial Sages, who were chatting cheerfully earlier, turned into something neither human nor ghost.
The remaining cultivators all paled in fright, especially the cultivators who had luckily dodged the other seven beams of light. All of them felt a chill run down their backs, and their legs trembled. If not for Xiao Chen's warning, they might have been the ones lying on the ground.
The seven beams of light still flying in the air were already pushed far away by the lightning-attributed flames of the others.
When the three beams of red light flew out, the three cultivators on the ground were already swallowed up. Aside from their clothes, only a pool of blood remained, proof that the three of them had once existed. "Gagaga!
Comfortable! Very comfortable! Very comfortable! What a tasty blood meal! "
The ten beams of red light merged and formed a scarlet figure. This scarlet figure was clearly different from the black smoke-like evil Demon clone from earlier.
Not only did its body look more solid, but its facial features were no longer blurry and twisted. One could vaguely make out its appearance. The most important thing was that one could feel its intelligence.
Unlike the black smoke-like evil spirit that only knew how to shout 'I want to eat, I want to eat', it had more emotions and expressions.
After the bloody figure finished devouring the three cultivators, spots of black appeared on its body. It seemed like it was on the verge of some kind of metamorphosis and could evolve further.
Whoosh!
Unexpectedly, after the red demon appeared, it glanced at the crowd and immediately fled into the distance. It did not stop at all.
Everyone reacted. All sorts of lightning-fire transformed into arrows, flood dragons, ferocious tigers, and so on. All of them flew towards the distant red evil Demon.
The red evil spirit laughed strangely again and again. Its body was hit by the lightning and fire, and it immediately split up that part of its body. It was hit many times, but it still escaped far away.
Such a scene caused the crowd, whose confidence had soared earlier, to be unable to accept it.
A streak of purple light flashed by, and with an even faster speed, it caught up to the red demon that was fleeing far away. It pierced through its head, and with a 'shua' sound, the red blood demon's entire body was set ablaze.
"How painful! This is the Purple Thunder True Fire, the greatest nemesis of my race."
The red evil Demon howled miserably. Its body split up again and again, but it was to no avail. Purple flames continued to surround it, burning it to ashes in the air.
The one who attacked was Xiao Chen. The title of the king of lightning-fire was indeed extraordinary.
Yao Yan said softly, "This is an evil Demon clone that already has its own intelligence. It is different from those simple bodies of thought; it is even more difficult to deal with. This is only the lowest-ranked one. The higher-ranked ones are completely black. The higher-ranked ones are like jade, snow-white, and do not fear ordinary lightning-fire. "
The red evil Demon was actually the lowest-ranked. The group could not help but be flabbergasted. This trip to Neptune was far more dangerous than they had imagined.
"The current evil Demon clones actually know how to use stratagems to lower our guard. They are much smarter than the last time I came." Princess Yao Yan had a grave expression, clearly very worried.
They raised their heads and looked into the distance. Under the dark sky, the vague silhouette of Neptune appeared at the limits of their vision.
Xiao Chen patted Yao Yan's shoulder and said with a smile, "Let's go. Don't worry too much. This time, we managed to gather so many experts. The situation is much better than when you came alone."
"Right, I was worrying too much. It will definitely work." Sensing the confidence in Xiao Chen's words, Yao Yan smiled and continued to lead the way.
Following that, everyone was on high alert. No one dared to underestimate the evil Demon clones. When they thought about the miserable state of the three earlier, no one was willing to follow in their footsteps.
After that, they ran into a few more red evil Demon clones. However, with their previous experience, they were not as flustered as they were at the start.
Aside from one unlucky fellow, no one else fell by the time they reached Neptune.
"This is the Sea Monarch Palace? It is really majestic and tyrannical. I heard that the first generation Neptune used ten stars to refine it. "
As they looked at the majestic palace in front, several people could not help sighing.
Xiao Chen also looked around curiously, comparing this Neptune Palace to the Heavenly Roc King's Grave Palace that he had seen in the past.
Rumor had it that Sovereign Martial Emperors had the ability to refine stars and use them to refine a palace for themselves.
The Neptune Palace in front was completely dark-blue and as smooth as water. When one looked at it, they could see ripples moving like the waves of the sea. They could even hear the sound of waves.
The palace was no more than a hundred meters tall. It had a main palace and eight side palaces that were connected seamlessly, forming a smooth, curved whole.
From a distance, this Neptune Palace looked like a ferocious and tyrannical sea beast. Its entrance was a huge mouth filled with fangs.
Compared to the Star Grave Palace, this Neptune Palace looked much more exquisite. Furthermore, it had a certain spirituality to it, making it feel like it was not an inanimate object.
However, this was normal. Although the Heavenly Roc King and Neptune were both Sovereign Martial Emperors, the difference in strength was not as simple as that.
"We have arrived at the Neptune Palace. Will everyone follow us to the main palace and seal the evil Demon's main body, or will you take the risk and go to the side palaces? It is time to decide." Yao Yan looked at the crowd and waited calmly for an answer.
"Haha! We have already said that we are here to help the Merfolk Race seal the evil Demon's main body. Naturally, we are willing to follow."
Xiao Chen was somewhat surprised that the first to express their stance were the two from the Penglai Sea. Furthermore, they chose to continue traveling with Yao Yan and Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen could not help but glance at these two. He did not know what these two were planning. If anyone believed those righteous words, they would be a fool.
"I intend to try my luck alone. Everyone, I will take my leave first."
Lang Taotian covered his entire body in Blood Kill Electric Light. With a few leaps, he arrived at the entrance of a side palace and walked in with his head held high.
Following that, a few more people expressed their stance and left one after another, each entering a side palace.
The couple on Spirit Returning Island seemed to be arguing about something. They didn't know how to proceed. Everyone had their own thoughts. In the end, it was that man who spoke up and made his choice, heading for a side palace.
The Northern Sea Alliance's Yan Chihai performed a cupped-fist salute and said, "My apologies, Princess Yao Yan. This old man is probably unable to help the Merfolk Race much. We will not be following Young Master Xiao."
After saying that, Yan Chihai led five or six people to a side palace that no one had been to before.
In an instant, most of the people had left, leaving only Qi Wuxue, Long Fei, and the low-profile Leng Ao, who had not made a decision yet.
Qi Wuxue chuckled and said, "Brother Xiao, Brother Long Fei and I have decided to follow you. I love currying favor the most."
Yao Yan rejoiced in his heart. Long Fei and Qi Wuxue possessed extraordinary strength in the group. With the two of them helping him, he would undoubtedly gain a great boost.
The group looked at Leng Ao. This person was the only one who had not made a decision yet. They did not know what choice he would make.
"Princess Yao Yan, please lead the way. I will follow you. I would like to see for myself what the true body of the evil Demon is like," Leng Ao said, his voice not cold at all.
Just like that, the people who would follow Leng Ao were decided.
The disciples of the One Dao Palace, who clearly had impure motives, Long Fei and Qi Wuxue, who joined on account of Xiao Chen, the unfathomable Leng Ao, and Xiao Chen and Yao Yan — a total of seven people.
"Let's go, then. This place is a small world with a complicated environment. I have not been in there for more than a year already. I wonder what it is like now. Everyone, be careful. "
Yao Yan took the lead and entered, and the others followed behind. Xiao Chen turned his head to take a look. After thinking for a while, he entered as well.
When the group entered the Sea Monarch Palace, nine snow-white, handsome, and elegant evil Demon clones with azure eyes appeared in the void outside the Sea Monarch Palace.
The evil Demon clone in the middle was the most special. An indistinct layer of white silver light flickered within its jade-like body. It licked its lips and smiled evilly. "We are all in. Let's follow the plan and go our separate ways. Don't get any ideas about the others."
"Tsk tsk! These people are all very strong. I feel like I can evolve again after consuming them."
"There's something wrong with that white-robed brat. I feel like he discovered us with that final glance."
"It's fine. Let me deal with this brat. I feel that after I consume him and those two half-baked Immortal Cultivators, I can definitely evolve to a Silver Sage Body." The evil Demon clone in the middle smiled faintly and flew into the main hall first.
The other eight evil Demon clones also flashed, flying towards the entrance of the side hall.
Hundreds of flowers bloomed, attracting butterflies. The fragrance filled the air, and the garden was filled with the colors of spring.
After entering the main hall, what entered their eyes were not the palace walls, corridors, and stone pillars that they had imagined. Instead, it was a garden, an enchanting garden with pavilions, terraces, and pavilions. There were flower paths and small paths that twisted and turned.
At first glance, Xiao Chen thought it was an illusion. However, when the fragrance of the flowers entered his nose and lingered for a long time, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. The garden in front of him was indeed real.
The inside of Neptune's Palace had already evolved into a small world of its own. It looked like what Xiao Chen had said was true. The space inside was many times larger than it looked on the outside.
"This is the Ten Thousand Garden. In order to please his daughter, Neptune specially built it. It collected thousands of beautiful flowers in the world. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Flowers will bloom in all four seasons, never withering. "
