Chapter 1804 News Spreads, Escape for Your Life!
At that moment, even the wind in the world seemed to freeze.
Wu Ming, a half-saint, suddenly felt a chill originating from the depths of his soul explode.
The previous heartbeat, like the beating of war drums, came to an abrupt halt, replaced by an almost deathly silence.
The heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand, no longer beating wildly, but instead emitting a agonizing pain as if it were about to break.
"Our ancestor...could not have perished!"
"It must be that old monster's bewitching words, intended to confuse my Daoist heart!"
He forcefully suppressed the blood surging in his throat, pressing the overwhelming panic back into his heart.
Without hesitation, the sliver of his mind he had spared, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, plunged violently into the jade talisman at his waist that was continuously emitting an unsettling glow.
There was no lengthy message as expected.
Only one line of cold, concise, yet incredibly heavy rune was directly imprinted on his soul:
"With the Ancestor fallen, immediately execute the 'Hidden World Plan'!"
These few words, however short, struck my mind like a thunderbolt from the heavens.
The Martial Nether Half-Venerable swayed almost imperceptibly, his eyes instantly losing all their luster, staring blankly ahead.
The white light on the jade talisman was, in his eyes, even more piercingly cold than ten-thousand-year-old ice.
An unprecedented and immense panic, like an endless, dark tide, completely engulfed him.
Even their very souls trembled.
Beside him, two half-saints from the Crystal Horn Clan and the Sea Spirit Giant Clan were closely watching Wu Ming's expression.
Seeing his face suddenly turn ashen, his eyes glaze over, and his aura momentarily become disordered, a sense of foreboding washed over me, and an ominous premonition coiled around me like a venomous snake.
The Crystal Horn Clan Half-Saint couldn't help but speak urgently:
"Fellow Daoist Wu Ming, what message exactly came from the jade talisman?"
The half-saint of the Sea Spirit Giant Clan also spoke in a heavy tone:
"Fellow Daoist, but... what about the Demon Lord..."
The seven elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan took all of this in view, and the calm and mocking smile on their faces grew even stronger.
He stood with his hands behind his back, as if he had already seen through everything, and chuckled lightly:
"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Wu Ming, seeing how lost and dejected you are, could it be that my prediction has unfortunately come true?"
It seems the Xuan Turtle Clan's sky... has truly fallen.
His words, like sharp needles, pierced the hearts of the three half-Venerables in the Xuan Turtle Clan camp.
Almost the instant his words fell—
hum!hum!
The jade talismans worn by the Crystal Horn Clan and the Sea Spirit Giant Clan half-saints almost simultaneously rippled with a halo of light, and an invisible yet clear wave gently yet urgently struck their minds.
The two men's expressions changed simultaneously, and they no longer cared about questioning Wu Ming. Their eyes were instantly drawn to their own jade talismans.
next moment,
The two moved in unison, flipping their hands to reveal an ancient-looking jade talisman in each palm.
The jade talisman is deep purple in color and has a warm, smooth texture. On the front, a powerful "盟" (alliance) character is carved in an ancient style.
This is a specially made jade talisman that only core half-saint level experts of the Xuan Turtle Clan can possess.
Not only a rare treasure for long-distance communication,
It is also a symbol of status and position.
Within this alliance, jade tokens are divided into three ranks, distinguished by color:
The highest-grade jade talisman is the purple jade talisman in their hands, which is exclusive to semi-great beings.
The next best item is a golden jade talisman, representing the identity of a Nascent Soul Demon Lord.
The largest number of cyan jade talismans belong to the Golden Core Realm demon cultivators at the 'grassroots' level of the alliance.
The higher the level, the farther the jade talisman can transmit messages, and the more precious the materials used in its crafting.
Apart from that, the functions are the same.
The two half-saints focused their minds on the jade talisman, and in an instant, their expressions turned as grim as Wu Ming's.
There was even a hint of panic.
Although the messages differed slightly, their core message was strikingly consistent:
With the fall of the Xuan Turtle Ancestor, the alliance's fate is sealed. Inform them to retreat immediately!
The gazes of the three semi-saints briefly met in the air. Without a word, a resolute and tacit understanding was reached in the face of a dead end.
A chilling atmosphere filled the air.
"Do it!"
A low, sharp shout came from somewhere, like the fuse being lit in a powder keg!
In an instant,
The three semi-saint level experts unleashed their full power without reservation.
The power that had been somewhat scattered due to the bad news of the ancestor was forcibly twisted into one by the will to survive, turning into three earth-shattering torrents that crashed towards the seven elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan who still had a smile on their faces!
This attack was carried out with a resolute will.
Faced with this terrifying combined attack capable of tearing through the void...
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the seven elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, but they quickly regained their repulsive composure.
He shook his head as if regretful, and slowly raised his hand to wave:
"Tsk, why be so impulsive?"
A huge light screen rose into the air in response.
On the light screen, countless runes resembling ferocious tiger sharks swam and roared vividly, exuding an indestructible and heavy aura, firmly protecting the seven elders in the center.
He looked at the three people, who seemed to be going crazy, through the light screen and chuckled:
"You are just trying to trap me at all costs, hoping to buy me a moment's respite before retreating."
If you had told me earlier, I might have granted your request out of consideration for our past relationship. Why did you suddenly attack me and give me this unnecessary fright?
The three Half-Venerables of Wuming ignored his sarcasm and ridicule, their faces as cold as iron, but their attacks became increasingly ferocious.
But the fleeting anxiety and tension deep in their eyes betrayed their true inner state—
Time is the most luxurious thing they have right now!
Just before the three forces collided—
"It's now!
seal up!"
The Half-Venerable Martial Netherworld suddenly let out a roar!
The three semi-saints were of one mind and simultaneously changed their hand seals.
The immense energy that poured out did not rush directly towards the light screen, but rather intertwined and merged mysteriously in the void!
The dazzling light instantly captivated everyone's attention.
A terrifying wave, capable of sealing everything and imprisoning time and space, swept out like a tidal wave!
Rumble——! ! !
The deafening explosion shook the world.
As the intense light began to fade...
In the void, countless fine, spiderweb-like patterns, shimmering with various colored runes, had woven together into an enormous net, transforming into a solid cage that temporarily trapped the seven elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, along with the light curtain, in the center.
The cage shimmered with light, constantly suppressing the internal turmoil.
The figures of the three half-saints manifested outside the cage, their auras slightly disordered, clearly indicating that the combined attack just now had consumed a great deal of energy.
The Half-Venerable Wu Ming glanced deeply at the light screen within the seal, which was flickering and constantly being consumed, and said in a very fast voice:
"Time is of the essence, so let's get to the point!"
The 'Three Talents Restriction Seal' that we set up together, though it can't kill him or trap him for too long, can at least buy us an hour!
Taking this opportunity, you two fellow cultivators should quickly lead the elite of your clans and evacuate from the True Dragon Sea!
He added in a heavy tone, tinged with sadness:
"With the passing of the Ancestor, the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's unification of the True Dragon Sea is a foregone conclusion, and the trend is irreversible!"
Until a new Nascent Soul cultivator is born, all races must remain hidden and lie low, and must never entertain the thought of making a comeback, lest they invite utter annihilation!
The Crystal Horn Clan's Half-Saint nodded solemnly, his expression extremely grave.
"We understand your good intentions, fellow Daoist!"
Don't worry, I'm not absolutely certain of success, and I would never risk everything!
The half-saint of the Sea Spirit Giant Clan appeared even more agitated and interrupted:
"Fellow Daoist Wu Ming, now is not the time for detailed discussions!"
The Black Tiger Shark Clan Chief could arrive at any moment; if we don't leave now, it will be too late!
"go!"
The voice has not fallen,
Three streaks of light shot into the sky, tearing through the void, and fled in different directions at top speed.
It disappeared into the horizon in an instant.
The airspace, which had just experienced a violent collision, fell into an eerie silence.
Only the sealed cage, its runes flowing and trembling slightly, remained suspended in the air.
And the surrounding shattered void that had not yet calmed down, and the still chaotic spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Inside the cage...
The smiles on the faces of the seven elders of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan gradually faded, and their deep gazes were fixed on the direction where the three had disappeared, as if they were pondering something.
Just as Wu Ming Half-Zun and the others received the devastating news...
On this vast, endless battlefield, other half-saints belonging to the Xuan Turtle Clan also received urgent messages from Wu Yang, the half-saint and patriarch of the Xuan Turtle Clan, almost simultaneously through their specially made jade talismans.
"Our ancestor has fallen! Retreat immediately, do not hesitate!"
This brief message spread like a plague among the high-ranking combatants.
In one of the battlefields, the spiritual energy had become extremely violent, and the void was covered with cracks like a shattered mirror.
A chilling shout, brimming with murderous intent, suddenly rang out:
"Stay here!"
The sound waves rolled on, containing sonic attacks, causing ripples to spread through the space.
A majestic figure clad in jet-black scale armor and wielding a ferocious halberd transformed into a black lightning bolt tearing through the sky, relentlessly seizing three dazzling streaks of light that were attempting to flee.
He is none other than Shark Gu, another powerful half-deity of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan!
With a cold shout, Half-Saint Shark Gu swung his halberd and slashed fiercely in mid-air!
"Tsk-!"
The void was easily torn apart as if it were a piece of cloth!
Three enormous, crescent-shaped blades, their edges shimmering with destructive energy, instantly materialized. With a sharp whistling sound, like deadly scythes, they traversed a vast distance in an instant, hurtling towards the three streaks of light tens of thousands of miles away.
Where the sharp blade passed...
The space was plowed with deep trenches, and chaotic spatial turbulence gushed out from them like fountains, demonstrating the terrifying power of this attack.
suddenly!
The three streaks of light that were speeding ahead suddenly stopped, abruptly halting high in the sky.
As the light faded, three imposing figures were revealed.
The first was a burly, middle-aged cultivator with a massive, mysterious tortoise shell on his back, his expression solemn.
It was none other than the fifth elder of the Xuan Turtle Clan, Wu Long, the Half-Venerable!
The second is a woman of unparalleled beauty and great ability.
Her face was exquisitely beautiful, with delicate features, and most striking were her deep blue eyes, as deep as the endless ocean.
Her skin was fair and delicate, with a subtle iridescent sheen like mother-of-pearl.
What's most peculiar is her long hair, which isn't ordinary black hair, but rather composed of countless tiny, soft, living coral branches and translucent jellyfish tentacles.
It presents a dreamy gradient of colors such as pinkish-white, light gold, and light purple.
As energy surged, this special long hair moved automatically without wind, swaying gently and emitting a hazy and enchanting fluorescence.
She is the strongest member of the Coral Jellyfish Clan—Yaozhu Half-Venerable.
Its beauty can even make people temporarily forget about race and the bloodshed of the battlefield.
The third one was tall and slender, over two meters tall, wearing a dark-patterned robe, with a handsome face but an inhuman, eerie quality.
His brow bones were high, his eye sockets deep, and his vertical, sea-blue pupils were cold and ruthless.
It was none other than the top expert of the Xuanhai Spider Spirit Clan—the Half-Venerable Zhushi!
At this moment, Yaozhu, the half-saint, frowned slightly as she looked at the terrifying attack chasing from behind and the rapidly approaching black figure.
Meanwhile, the Half-Venerable Candlelight calmly watched the three crescent-shaped blades tearing through the sky and splitting the earth, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his eerie vertical pupils.
He didn't say much, he just waved his hand!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"
In an instant,
Several energy javelins, entirely black and gold in color and exuding an aura of annihilation, suddenly struck like venomous snakes that had been lying in wait, piercing through the void with speed beyond comprehension, precisely meeting the three crescent-shaped blades.
"boom--!!!!"
A deafening explosion resounded through the sky, and a terrifying energy storm swept out instantly, turning the void in that area into complete chaos.
The crescent-shaped blade and the black gold javelin vanished simultaneously, transforming into the purest energy turbulence.
After a single blow defused the crisis...
The Half-Venerable Candlelight turned his icy gaze to Wu Long and Yao Zhu beside him, and spoke rapidly but clearly:
"Fellow Daoists, this Shark Gu is relentlessly pursuing us at incredible speed."
If we don't manage to trap them temporarily, we will have no chance of safely withdrawing from the battlefield.
however!
In that brief moment,
The Shark Ancient Half-Saint, clad in black scales, had already traversed 90,000 miles with his powerful physique and supernatural abilities, appearing in the void 10,000 miles away from the three Half-Saints. His halberd pointed directly at the three, exuding murderous intent.
See this scene!
The Xuan Turtle Clan's Half-Venerable Wu Long took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety, and slowly nodded, runes flowing across his tortoise shell:
"What Fellow Daoist Zhushi said is absolutely right!"
It seems we won't be able to leave unless we resolve this problem first.
Yaozhu, a half-saint of the Coral Jellyfish Clan, had her long hair, resembling the tentacles of a coral jellyfish, swaying slightly and emitting an even more intense fluorescence.
Her voice was ethereal yet resolute:
"I second that!"
However, time is of the essence, and it is impossible to completely suppress or even defeat Shargu in the short term.
The safest approach is to try and trap them for a period of time, creating an opportunity for our evacuation.
While talking,
Her deep blue eyes inadvertently fell on Zhushi Banzun to the side, her gaze carrying a hidden meaning.
Similarly, Wu Long, a half-saint of the Xuan Turtle Clan, seemed to have thought of something in an instant. His eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke:
“Yes!
Fellow Daoist Zhushi, don't you have a treasured [Azure Flame Divine Spider Web] hidden away?
This treasure is incredibly tough, contains the wonder of spatial confinement, and also has the miraculous effect of burning the heart with emerald flames!
If we could use this treasure as the main element, and then combine it with my [Spirit-Suppressing Chain Array] to reinforce and suppress it...
We are absolutely confident we can keep the ancient shark monster trapped for a while!
"···"
