Chapter 1892 Strange Movement, Shark Minghong Breaks Through!



Chapter 1892 Strange Movement, Shark Minghong Breaks Through!

Immediately afterwards!

Cheng Buzheng's divine sense swept over several important cultivation sites and council offices in Ping'an City like mercury flowing across the ground.

The figures of Cheng Ping'an, the son, and several other outstanding younger members of the family came into view one by one.

They were either in seclusion, engaged in arduous spiritual practice, handling family affairs, or practicing supernatural powers...

Everything is in good order, and the family is developing steadily on its established path.

Seeing that everything was alright, Cheng Buzheng felt relieved and had no intention of showing up to disturb them at this moment.

Then he slowly closed his eyes.

Just as my eyelids drooped—

"boom!"

An even more terrifying and immense devouring power erupted from him!

Inside the quiet room, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered by the array, and even forcibly drawn from further away, once again transformed into a visible milky-white torrent, surging wildly into his body.

He was like a bottomless black hole, endlessly swallowing spiritual energy from all directions.

The secluded courtyard returned to absolute silence.

Only the silent, surging tide of spiritual energy proclaimed the presence of the master of this place.

Just as Cheng Buzheng continued his cultivation...

Zhenhai City!

The headquarters of the Monks' Association, main hall.

Cheng Buzheng, seated on the high throne, suddenly opened his lowered eyes.

He slowly raised his right hand, making a gesture in the air—

In an instant, a streak of light pierced through the layers of palace restrictions and shot out from outside the palace.

The streak of light was so fast that its trajectory was almost impossible to catch, leaving only a faint trace in the air before landing steadily in Cheng Buzheng's palm.

The light faded, revealing a pure white jade slip.

The jade is warm and lustrous, with a subtle flow of spiritual energy on its surface, and a budding blue lotus is imprinted in its center.

It is the highest-level emergency communication signal of the monks' association.

Cheng Buzheng's gaze fell on the lotus symbol, and his previously calm expression slightly hardened.

He lightly tapped the jade slip with his finger, and his vast, ocean-like divine thoughts instantly entered it.

The information sealed within the jade slip surged forth from the depths of his consciousness like a tidal wave.

A moment later!

Cheng Buzheng withdrew his divine sense, and the jade slip in his palm turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated.

He was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and curled his lips into a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.

"interesting."

His voice wasn't loud, yet it echoed with a peculiar rhythm in the empty hall:

"I haven't even had a chance to deal with you cowardly rats, and you've already jumped out."

The figure on the throne leaned back slowly, his fingertips tapping lightly twice on the armrest:

"Fine."

After being secluded for so long, I'm starting to find it boring.

Since you want to play…

His eyes closed slightly, and his last whispered words fell like a sigh:

Hopefully, this performance will be quite exciting.

Do not disappoint me.

After he finished speaking, the hall fell silent again.

Only outside the palace, the sea of ​​clouds surged, and as the long wind passed, it brought forth a clear chime from the copper bells on the eaves.

···

Zhenlonghai was originally the ancestral home of the Xuan Turtle Clan.

This underwater sanctuary, which was once managed by the Xuan Turtle Clan for tens of thousands of years, has now changed hands.

Instead of the black-armored tortoises swimming among the continuous coral fortresses, there are now squads of Black Spirit Tiger Shark warriors clad in heavy black armor with exposed fangs.

The palaces on the seabed were brightly lit, and the demonic aura soared into the sky. The noise, training sounds, and the humming of magical artifacts intertwined to create a bustling scene.

However, amidst this clamor...

A palace located in the core area appeared unusually deserted.

The palace covers an area of ​​nearly 100 acres, and its surface is covered with densely packed ancient demonic script.

At this moment, the palace gates were tightly closed, and not a single demonic figure could be seen within three miles.

This is the place where Shark Minghong, the current patriarch of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, is in seclusion.

suddenly--

"Buzz!"

An indescribable tremor emanated from the depths of the palace.

The tremor was not a sound, but a fluctuation that acted directly on the soul.

next moment.

A terrifying pressure, surpassing the limits of the Nascent Soul stage, erupted from within the palace like a dormant ancient beast awakening!

"Boom—"

The oppressive force, which was almost tangible, transformed into visible black ripples that swept outwards from the palace in all directions.

Wherever it passed, the seawater froze and the light distorted.

Even the hard basalt layers on the seabed groaned under the weight.

Then,

A strange fragrance permeated the palace walls, passed through layers of arrays and barriers, and diffused in wisps.

The fragrance is crisp yet mellow, initially resembling sandalwood, then evolving into the aroma of orchids.

Upon closer examination, it seems to contain some kind of Daoist charm from the beginning of time.

Wherever the fragrance reached, the fish in the sea stopped swimming, and the corals ceased trembling.

Even the turbulent undercurrents calmed down.

What does it taste like?

A group of black-armored demon soldiers patrolling three miles away simultaneously stopped in their tracks.

The squad leader took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on his face:

"It smells so good... This fragrance is actually making my cultivation, which is currently at a bottleneck, slightly loosen!"

"I can smell it too!"

"The sound came from the palace where the clan leader is in seclusion!"

The demon soldiers were all talking amongst themselves, but the expression of a middle-aged demon general with a burly figure and a single horn on his forehead at the end of the line suddenly changed.

He stared intently at the source of the fragrance, the palace reflected deep within his pupils—

And above the palace, a blurry phantom of a giant shark faintly appears.

"The transformation of a living body into a living body... the legendary transformation of a living body into a living body!"

The demon general's voice trembled, a mixture of fear and barely suppressed ecstasy:

"The clan leader is about to break through!"

The true Nascent Soul Demon Lord is about to be born!

Without further hesitation, he flipped his hand and took out a blood-red jade talisman, frantically pouring his divine sense into it:

"Reporting to the elders of the clan!"

A unique fragrance of sandalwood emanated from the clan leader's secluded cultivation spot, and its oppressive aura had surpassed the limits of the Nascent Soul stage!

It seems... a breakthrough is imminent!

after all!

Among the demon race, the Transformation God Demon Lord is extremely rare, but since ancient times, there have been many records and rumors of varying degrees of truth.

Moreover, as a top-tier clan, the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan has almost no shortage of Nascent Soul Demon Lords.

There are naturally many records about the Nascent Soul Realm.

As a Nascent Soul Demon Lord of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, he naturally has the authority to view these ancient texts.

The news, like a stone thrown into a still lake, instantly stirred up a storm among the high-ranking members of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.

"Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—"

Within ten breaths, seven streams of light broke through the water from different directions and landed on the edge of the formation three miles away from the palace.

As the light faded, several figures with profound auras were revealed.

—He is the current semi-elder of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan.

The leading elder was hunched over, his face like a withered tree, except for his eyes which shone like stars.

He gazed at the source of the fragrance and said in a deep voice:

"Has the message been confirmed?"

The two elders in charge of relaying the message stepped forward, their voices trembling with suppressed excitement:

"Absolutely true!"

The patrol team, the town guards, and even I, through our spiritual senses, all confirmed that the strange fragrance originated from the clan leader's secluded meditation room.

Moreover, the level of pressure... is far beyond what a Nascent Soul cultivator could achieve!

"Hahaha!"

The three elders, a burly man with red hair, laughed loudly, looking up at the sky:

"When the physical body is transformed, spiritual energy naturally arises!"

The ancient records are indeed true!

"The clan leader is exceptionally talented. Even before reaching the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to slay that old tortoise of the Xuan Turtle Clan. Now, after years of accumulated experience, his breakthrough is a natural progression!"

"good."

"Four elders," a black-clad elder with a effeminate face interjected.

"Before the clan leader went into seclusion, he said that he was 70% confident in his breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage."

Now it seems almost certain.

"Isn't this what should be done?"

Before the clan leader broke through to the next level, he was able to suppress us all single-handedly.

"So there's no need to make a fuss about it."

"···"

"It's only a matter of time before the clan leader breaks through."

Their potential is also far beyond what we can compare to.

"···"

The elders all nodded, their faces beaming with joy.

Although the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan was the pinnacle of the True Dragon Sea, with the great changes in the Forbidden Sea, there was no longer a Nascent Soul Demon Lord to oversee it.

If Sha Minghong can successfully break through, the status of the entire clan will be completely secured.

It may even be possible to unify all the remaining forces in the Inner Sea and restore the glory of ancient times.

"Don't be so happy yet."

The elder suddenly raised his hand, his expression turning solemn:

"Do you all still remember the records in the clan annals about breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage?"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the clan elders changed slightly.

The elder of the five clans stroked his long beard and said slowly:

"The term 'Grand Elder' refers to..."

"When the sandalwood incense has burned out, all living beings within a hundred miles will perish?"

"Exactly."

The elder clansman gazed at the increasingly intense, exotic fragrance in the distance, and spoke faster.

"Once the sandalwood fragrance begins to spread, it will dissipate in as little as ten days or as long as half a month."

The affected area will be... at least a hundred miles away!

"Pass on the order!"

The elder clansman suddenly turned around, his voice booming like thunder:

"All clansmen below the Nascent Soul stage must immediately evacuate to a place a thousand miles away!"

The temporary headquarters' treasury, inheritance hall, alchemy pavilion, and weapon-forging workshop were all activated and moved with the army during the retreat! Hurry!

"Waaaaah—"

The deep, resonant sound of horns echoed from every corner of the seabed.

Countless Black Spirit Tiger Shark warriors rushed out of camps, palaces, and cultivation caves, their faces filled with confusion, but they quickly assembled under the orders of the demon generals at all levels.

One of the lesser demons, whose body was radiating the pressure of a Golden Core Realm cultivator, frowned and said:

"What's going on? Why the sudden withdrawal of troops?"

Why would the clan elder issue such a strange order?

"Have the humans attacked?"

"I don't know!"

The little demon beside him shook his head.

At that moment, a little demon not far away seemed to have thought of something.

"The True Dragon Sea has now been unified by our clan."

The elder's strange order... could it be a signal to withdraw the troops and return home?

"Hmm! That makes sense!"

"However, there's one thing I can't figure out."

"If it were truly a withdrawal and return, there should have been some prior information that hadn't been released."

It shouldn't have happened so suddenly.

"Stop talking nonsense!"

The clan elders have decreed that anyone who disobeys will be executed!

"···"

Although the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan cultivators found the elder's order somewhat strange, they dared not disobey it.

The seabed trembled, and a figure flew through it!

Palaces and fortresses suddenly rose from the ground, their bases displaying complex array patterns that supported the entire structures as they slowly floated upwards.

Tens of thousands of demon soldiers, riding on demonic clouds and sea beasts, retreated into the distance like the receding tide.

The scene was grand yet chaotic, with many low-level demons being trampled in the crowd, their screams and curses filling the air.

"Make way! The Inheritance Hall goes first!"

"The alchemy furnaces in the alchemy pavilion must not be shut down! Maintain the formation, quickly!"

"Third group on the left, where are you trying to squeeze in? Didn't you look at the map?!"

Amidst the chaotic retreat, the phantom of the giant shark above the solitary palace grew increasingly solid.

The fragrance was so intense that even the surface of the seabed rocks was covered with a layer of glistening frost.

Half an hour later.

The once bustling and lively Xuan Turtle Ancestral Land has become a desolate wasteland.

Only that solitary palace still stands in the middle of the empty seabed.

Just as the Black Tiger Shark tribe retreated to a hundred miles away, continuing to distance themselves from this seabed...

An incredibly terrifying power of devouring energy emanated from that solitary palace.

A thousand miles away...

The temporary camp of the Black Tiger Shark Clan.

A group of clan elders stood on the terrace of a floating palace, gazing towards their ancestral homeland.

"Report!"

A demon general swiftly approached and knelt on one knee:

"All clansmen below the Nascent Soul stage have been evacuated to a distance of three thousand miles."

Seventy-two important palaces and treasuries have been safely relocated.

The guardian demon sent a message: "The strange fragrance is getting stronger!"

The elder's pupils contracted: "They've arrived."

Before the words were finished—

"boom!!!"

Hundreds of miles away, that desolate sea suddenly trembled.

Centered on that solitary palace, a terrifying vortex with a diameter of over a thousand feet was created out of thin air!

The vortex spun wildly, unleashing a suction force that could devour the heavens and the earth.

The seabed cracked, giant rocks floated in the air, and even the light was distorted and swallowed!

"Uh-"

Thousands of miles away, countless Black Spirit Tiger Shark warriors groaned simultaneously.

They were horrified to discover that the demonic power within their dantian was boiling and flowing backward uncontrollably, as if it were being forcibly drawn out of their bodies by some invisible force!

"Activate your cultivation technique! Suppress with all your might!"

The demon generals at all levels roared angrily.

The soldiers sat cross-legged, their faces pale, and began to exert their internal energy to resist.

Even so, hundreds of Foundation Establishment stage demons screamed and spat out blood, their demon cores cracking!

And this is merely the aftermath from thousands of miles away.

at the same time.

The spiritual energy of this place was also stirred by this vast and overwhelming devouring power.

Countless streams of extremely pure spiritual energy in this sea area transformed into a torrent, frantically converging from all directions to the sky above the sea.

In the blink of an eye.

The spiritual energy funnel also became increasingly terrifying.

Like a black hole, it devoured the surging tide of spiritual energy converging from all directions.

Once the spiritual energy funnel had absorbed enough spiritual energy, a dazzling pillar of spiritual energy suddenly descended, piercing through the endless seawater and disappearing into the lonely palace.

Void, seawater...

Endless spiritual energy surged forth.

Not long after!

The spiritual energy around that solitary palace became extremely dense.

The spiritual energy was almost liquefied.

But at this moment, the palace was like a gluttonous beast, swallowing up countless spiritual energies with every breath.

It seems impossible to satisfy them at all.

However, as time went by...

The atmosphere emanating from the palace became even more terrifying.

Even the surrounding void seemed unable to withstand it.

suddenly!

The endless seawater suddenly trembled.

In the dark sea, a dense network of tiny, thread-like spatial rifts emerged.

Terrifying spatial turbulence violently stirred up the endless seawater.

The center of the vortex.

"Snap—Snap—"

The surface of the palace was covered with countless cracks.

The next instant, the entire palace exploded!

Before countless fragments could even fly, they were swallowed up by the vortex and ground into dust.

As the fragments scattered, the scene within was revealed—

A gigantic shark phantom, thousands of feet tall, floated in mid-air.

The giant shark was entirely black, with menacing scales, and its eyes were tightly closed.

At the heart of the giant shark sat a man with red hair and a black robe.

This is Sha Minghong.
