Chapter 1725 Gains and Disappointments, Converging!
now!
Seemingly expressionless, 'Sha Minghong', surrounded by admirers at the center, was actually calculating at high speed:
"The Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan is one of the most powerful clans in the Spirit Realm, dominating countless ages and surveying all the heavens..."
Its core treasure trove must contain something amazing!
The innate vital energy and turbid earth energy required to suppress the clan should be far more than just a few types..."
"Even if there aren't hundreds of types, there should at least be... dozens of different attributes accumulated, right?"
This thought stirred a flicker of fervor within His usually calm heart.
As for that even more ethereal and elusive spirit book, which claims to contain all laws...
He composed himself slightly, not daring to have too much hope for this.
"After all... the Heavenly Book is too elusive and difficult to find."
The celestial books that have been lost in these realms are merely incomplete secondary strategies.
Moreover, their quantity is as rare as dust and stardust…
Thinking of this,
His faint hope subsided, and he dared not let it distract him too much.
Just as 'Sha Minghong's' thoughts were racing like lightning...
The elders below, who were at the semi-saint level, had already taken the initiative to lead the way, landing at several key points in the canyon, and skillfully performing complex and ancient hand seals.
As beams of spiritual light, imbued with the clan's primal magical power, entered different parts of the canyon...
At the mouth of the canyon, right in the middle, suddenly circles of transparent ripples spread out, like pebbles thrown into a calm lake.
After a while!
A massive, invisible barrier, visible to the naked eye and flowing with energy, slowly opened like a water curtain, creating a "gateway".
An ancient, weathered, and deadly aura emanated from behind the door.
'Sha Minghong' narrowed his eyes slightly. Under the tense or complicated gazes of the clan elders, his figure flashed and he was the first to disappear into the bottomless shadows of the canyon...
An hour later.
In the light and shadow tunnel leading to the canyon surface...
'Sha Minghong' was the first to appear at the entrance.
His steps were fluid and light, and his serene face...
now!
A rare, almost uncontrollable smile of satisfaction spread across his face, and the corners of his lips even curved slightly upwards.
This heartfelt joy was as evident as His light steps—
The gains from the recent trip to the canyon far exceeded what could be described as "good"; they far surpassed His previous expectations!
The excitement of fulfilling his long-cherished wish almost overflowed from his forced calm exterior.
The elders who followed closely behind were described in stark contrast to 'Sha Minghong'.
Their eyes were dull and unfocused, as if their souls had been taken away.
His face showed no trace of the elation of someone who had gained such a great opportunity; instead, it was filled with a deep-seated sense of loss.
And a void of utterly shattered dreams.
His steps were as heavy as if filled with lead, and the vast aura that once drew upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him was now silent and weak.
He had lost all of his former aura of power.
This listless, defeated posture, like that of a rooster, practically screamed the answer on his face.
Inside that clan's treasure trove, on which they placed their high hopes...
There was none of the spiritual objects of law that they had dreamed of for thousands of years!
otherwise.
These old monsters, who deeply understand the arduous path to enlightenment and have spent their lives pursuing it, are just one step away from achieving it...
How could it exude such a thoroughly desolate atmosphere?
despite this···
These half-elders, having gained nothing, continued to follow closely behind 'Shark Minghong's' footsteps, heading towards the main hall of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan.
Not long after.
This ancestral land of the deep sea, originally shrouded in thick seawater and darkness, suddenly and without warning, from the very bottom of the trench, which is even deeper than darkness itself...
Suddenly, a deep, melodious chime rang out, piercing through all barriers!
when!
Ding ding!
The initial, melancholic chimes, seemingly carrying endless antiquity and vicissitudes, yet containing an indescribable majesty, suddenly shattered the ancient silence, stirring the cold, viscous sea currents.
Clang! Clang!
Immediately afterwards, the bells rang out again, each one louder and more urgent than the last!
The sound was neither metal nor stone, yet it was even clearer.
Each tremor seemed to transform into tangible ripples, ignoring the resistance of immense water pressure, and relentlessly echoing, surging, and roaring deep within the seabed of this ancestral land belonging to the Black Tiger Shark clan!
The massive seabed trembled slightly as the divine sound pierced through it, and even the deep-sea insects that dwelled among the jagged reefs cowered in fear.
Just as this soul-stirring, melodious bell tolling reverberated throughout the abyss...
At the center and edge of this solemn seabed, a powerful vortex of energy suddenly surged!
Ancient palaces, built of incredibly tough black reefs and rocks from the deep sea, towering like mountains on the seabed, had their heavy doors suddenly pushed open with tremendous force!
Like a sleeping beast opening its blood-red eyes!
Whoosh... Boom...
Accompanied by an overwhelming and powerful demonic aura, figures emerged one after another from the dark doorways of those towering palaces—some as burly as mountains, some as slender as swords, and some fierce and brutal!
Their aura is either as powerful as a raging tide in the deep sea?
Or is it as cold and gloomy as ten-thousand-year-old ice?
Or perhaps it's as violent as a hurricane or tsunami?
Without exception, they were all as vast as the ocean!
These figures paused briefly upon appearing before fixing their gaze on the very heart of the ancestral land—
That magnificent main hall, far surpassing other palaces in both size and grandeur, stands majestically like a divine mountain in the deep sea!
next moment.
They seemed to have received an invisible summons, some riding on demonic winds that whipped up turbulent waves, others transforming directly into giant sharks, arriving from all directions with a suffocating sense of oppression.
Like rivers flowing into the sea, they converged towards the main hall!
Not only that...
The same moment.
Hundreds of millions of miles away, on a fairy island overseas, shrouded in spiritual energy and with lush vegetation as green as jade.
A powerful demon in human form, whose aura was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, whose demonic power was concealed within nothingness...
At this moment, He was sitting cross-legged beside a rare and precious medicinal herb that was ten zhang tall, with leaves as if carved from jade, and flower buds at its top exuding rosy light and swaying in the wind.
It seems to be contemplating the universe, and also to be guarding its maturity.
Suddenly.
His body, which was as still as a rock, suddenly shuddered violently without warning!
It was not an attack by an external enemy, nor a disturbance by external forces, but a throbbing sensation originating from the depths of one's blood and the resonance of one's soul!
A clear, melodious, and ancient bell sound.
As if piercing through the barriers of infinite space and time, it exploded without warning and with extreme dominance from the deepest part of His mighty, river-like bloodline!
"Um?!"
The great demon, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground as if he had become one with the island reef, suddenly opened his huge, long-closed beast eyes!
Deep within those pupils, the emerald green vertical pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needles.
Two terrifying beams of light, each about a foot long, burst forth, their initial emotions being extreme confusion and astonishment.
It was instantly replaced by immense rage and chilling killing intent!
—The ancestral bloodline bell tolled six times?!
What earth-shattering event has just occurred?!
"Wow—!"
A sharp whistle that tore through the clouds escaped his lips!
He could no longer care about the top-grade elixir that he had guarded for hundreds of years, which was about to mature and was crucial to his own path!
Without even pausing for a moment, a terrifying demonic wind swept up from the spot, capable of destroying half a mountain!
His body transformed into a streak of gray-black sky-splitting light, violently shattering the pervasive spiritual herb glow and clouds!
After breaking out of the island's boundaries, it plunged without hesitation into the deep, boundless, dark blue sea below.
And with the fastest speed of his life, he broke through the waves and fled towards the ancestral land!
Wherever it passed...
A deep, white creek remained on the water's surface, a creek that would never heal.
the other side.
Within the ancestral land of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark, on the wide path leading to the main hall...
The powerful members of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan, who had just arrived from different palaces, were already quite familiar with each other's auras.
They either took human form or remained in their half-demon form, and met as they traveled at high speed. Their divine thoughts intertwined in the air, and they suppressed their shock and greeted each other.
But his words couldn't conceal the doubt and worry that stemmed from the throbbing in his blood.
A low, hushed exchange was carried on the undercurrent of the water:
"Brother Meng, you've come at the perfect time!"
This time, the Bloodline Divine Bell rang six times, its sound shaking the ocean and vibrating the very soul!
"You've been managing affairs within the clan for many years; do you know the reason for this bell's ringing?"
A demon lord clad in black scale armor frowned deeply, his voice grave.
The burly man opposite them, referred to as "Brother Meng," had muscles bulging all over his body that exuded explosive power.
At this moment, He also had a solemn expression:
I am ashamed!
After returning from the extremely dangerous 'Forbidden Sea', I immediately entered a life-or-death retreat in order to break through.
The cave dwelling is isolated, and time has passed unnoticed.
I have absolutely no idea what kind of dramatic changes have taken place in the outside world!
But these six shots... are no small matter!
His enormous, bell-like eyes were filled with vigilance and bewilderment.
Another demon lord, with a refined appearance and slightly unsteady aura, interjected, his voice tinged with annoyance at being interrupted:
"I feel the same way!"
Having just spent countless precious materials to set up the cave's grand formation and was about to go into seclusion to break through a bottleneck, his mind had only settled halfway when he was completely awakened by these six soul-piercing bell tolls!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Before I went into seclusion, I surveyed the surrounding seas and heard nothing about any momentous event in the clan that would require disturbing the Bloodline Divine Bell.
Everything was calm... Could something have suddenly changed?!
His pale face was filled with confusion and a hint of unease.
"That's truly strange!"
The Black-Scaled Demon Lord, who spoke first, spoke even faster, his words filled with disbelief.
"You two are pillars of the clan, yet you knew nothing about it?!"
Moreover, you should know—
This bloodline bell is never to be rung lightly except for extremely important events in the clan!
One blast is an alarm, three blasts are a sign of danger, and six blasts are deafening!
This is second only to the nine-singing final song during the crisis of annihilation!
There must have been a momentous event that shook the very foundations of our clan, affected the fate of all its members, and was earth-shattering!
otherwise!"
He paused, then emphasized:
"otherwise!
No one has the qualifications or the courage to ring the sacred bell six times!
"Brother Mo's words make perfect sense, not a single bit wrong."
The shrewd demon lord suppressed his annoyance, his expression turning serious and solemn.
"The ringing of the divine bell has its own rules."
Six shots!
It was enough to alarm all the clan elders who were sleeping in the deep sea or cultivating in seclusion in the secret realm!
Unless there is an extraordinary reason, under the clan rules, no one can bear this responsibility.
This is an ironclad rule!
Another red-haired demon lord, who had been silent all along and exuded a chilling aura, slowly spoke, his voice hoarse like a whetstone:
"Hmph, something big is about to happen!"
Such a grand display would only be possible if a catastrophic foreign invasion were to occur.
That would mean our clan would have to undertake a massive, earth-shattering undertaking, mobilizing the entire clan's resources!
"Hmm!" Black Scale Ink Lord nodded heavily, a bloodthirsty yet solemn light flashing deep in his pupils.
"I wholeheartedly agree."
A storm is brewing...
No, it's the waves surging before the tsunami arrives!
Let's go. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, we'll find out soon enough!
Amidst this somber and oppressive exchange of thoughts and anxious speculation...
These powerful demon lords of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, who usually guarded their respective regions or secluded themselves for cultivation, and whose power could stir up storms across vast seas, all harbored an unprecedentedly heavy sense of curiosity and deep unease.
Riding the turbulent winds and waves, they sped towards the main hall, which resembled an ancient behemoth lurking at the bottom of the sea, exuding a majestic and solemn aura!
Not bad!
These figures, each with a distinct form and imposing aura, are the backbone of the clan scattered throughout the Black Spirit Tiger Shark ancestral land, in various caves and secret realms, engaged in secluded cultivation to break through bottlenecks, heal long-standing injuries, study ancient secret techniques, or guard key nodes.
A true powerhouse!
The call of the Bloodline Divine Bell is the only important reason why they are willing to interrupt everything.
And that towering, majestic black palace, casting a massive shadow over the entire ancestral seas, so vast it was breathtaking, and engraved with countless ancient runes, was none other than the supreme core of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan—
Black Abyss Main Hall!
It is also the place where ancestors of all generations discussed and decided on wars, established clan rules, judged traitors, and... determined the fate of the entire clan!
In ordinary times, it is extremely rare for so many clan leaders to gather at the same time, except for major festivals or clan ceremonies.
The space inside the Black Abyss Main Hall is far more vast and profound than it appears from the outside, as if it were a world of its own.
A dense aura of deep-sea demons permeated the space, making the light dim and oppressive. Only the enormous luminous pearls embedded in the pillars and walls emitted a faint blue glow, barely illuminating the hall.
now,
On both sides of the spacious central courtyard of the main hall, figures stood majestically like the skeletons of ancient sea beasts!
They either retain human form or reveal some demonic features. Each one is as calm as a deep-sea volcano, yet contains terrifying power capable of moving mountains and overturning seas!
A powerful demonic aura emanated uncontrollably from their bodies, not intentionally, but rather stemming from the oppressive force of their life force!
The energies collided and intertwined, forming a swirling, turbulent vortex of demonic clouds above the main hall, emitting a low, thunderous sound of energy tides!
A terrifying aura permeated the entire hall!
Not one of them is weak!
Even the most peripheral beings, whose auras were relatively "weak," emitted fluctuations that reached the terrifying peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!
—That is, the late-stage peak of the Demon Lord realm, as the demon race calls it!
This is already a giant enough to establish a school of thought and dominate a region!
But the most astonishing sight was the figure in the first row closest to the high platform throne!
Those few elders, almost entirely transformed into human form, had aged appearances, but their bodies were as if forged from ten thousand years of black iron!
The aura surging around him was even more vast and boundless, as deep as an abyss!
