NOVEL NEXT Chapter 216: Sea Dragon King
An Escape Light flew from the sky and descended in front of Whale Mist Island, just outside the grand array. It revealed its form, and it was none other than Zhao Yu. However, he had transformed into a burly man clad in black.
"I am Tianhe Zhenren, come out and see me, Island Master of Riverflow Island! Otherwise, you will never leave this island again!"
Zhao Yu shouted fiercely, and an intimidating aura of a Golden Core Ninth Layer burst forth from his body.
Inside a cave mansion on Whale Mist Island.
A tall, handsome middle-aged cultivator was frolicking with a dozen beautiful female cultivators. This person was the Island Master of Riverflow Island.
Upon hearing Zhao Yu's voice, the Island Master of Riverflow Island frowned slightly and said, "When have I offended Tianhe Zhenren? But I've offended so many, surely he must be one of them! He's really out of luck to have found Whale Mist Island. The Sea Dragon King is in closed-door cultivation, and if he gets disturbed, he will be furious, and that man is as good as dead."
Streams of Escape Light shot out from the interior of Whale Mist Island, and nine Golden Core cultivators appeared above it, watching Zhao Yu from a distance.
Zhao Yu's gaze landed on the Island Master of Riverflow Island and he bellowed, "Island Master of Riverflow Island, do you dare to engage in a duel of magical combat with me alone? If you lose, your life will be mine!"
A hint of scorn flashed in the eyes of the Island Master of Riverflow Island, "Tianhe Zhenren, you really are a fool! Why should I duel you alone? Your brains must be waterlogged! Everyone attack together, kill him, and we'll share his wealth. Besides that, I'll treat each of you to a day of pleasure at the Sea Dragon Pavilion!"
"Elder, it's a deal!"
"It seems the young Island Master of Spirit Spider Island has been captured at the Sea Dragon Pavilion, she's my prey, don't you compete with me!"
".….."
The other eight Golden Core cultivators' eyes lit up, showing excited smiles.
The Sea Dragon Pavilion, located in the middle of Whale Mist Island, gathered all the handsome men and beautiful women from the forces defeated by the Sea Dragon King and his party, including peerless beauties and exceptionally handsome men. Even dignified and noble Golden Core level beauties were present in twos.
The Sea Dragon Pavilion is the most renowned den of pleasure on Whale Mist Island, accepting contributions, Spirit Stones, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in exchange for indulging in pleasure. Even having Golden Core cultivators serve Qi Cultivation ones was permitted.
"Despicable and shameless!!"
Zhao Yu shouted fiercely, using the Air Evasion Technique, turning into a streak of light that fled into the distance.
"Be careful of his tricks!"
An elder at the peak of Golden Core Great Perfection slightly furrowed his brow.
"Elder Wen, you worry too much! With the Sect Leader here, what tricks can he play?"
The Island Master of Riverflow Island chuckled lightly and used an Escape Technique to pursue Zhao Yu.
The other Golden Core cultivators also used Escape Techniques to chase after Zhao Yu.
In a matter of moments, the chase had covered a hundred miles.
"Perfect timing! Island Master of Riverflow Island, you can go to your death!"
Zhao Yu, eyeing the Golden Core cultivators behind him, let a cold light flash in his eyes as he directly took out the Qingling Divine Sword he had obtained from True Monarch Wanjian.
No sooner had the Qingling Divine Sword flown out than it burst forth with dazzling emerald Spiritual Light, turning into a beam of green sword light that thrust toward the Island Master of Riverflow Island.
"A Spiritual Treasure!! How is this possible? How could you have a Spiritual Treasure?"
The Island Master of Riverflow Island's face suddenly went pale as he screamed in horror and immediately brought out a white Spiritual Shield.
Clang!
The Qingling Divine Sword slashed down on the white Spiritual Shield, splitting it in half with brute force and continuing its trajectory towards the Island Master of Riverflow Island.
With a flash of azure sword light, the Island Master of Riverflow Island was beheaded, a look of despair flashing in his eyes as he fell from the sky to the ground.
"Spiritual Treasure!!"
"Damn it, an offensive-type Spiritual Treasure!"
"....."
The Golden Core Cultivators pursuing him suddenly changed their expressions and, using their Escape Techniques, retreated explosively backwards.
Spiritual Treasures were extremely rare; only some of the Nascent Soul Major Sects had the possibility of refining them. Those treasures were essentially the foundation of the Nascent Soul Major Sects and possessed tremendous power.
The Qingling Divine Sword, handed down through generations within the Qingling Sword Sect and specialized in slaying, was a Spiritual Treasure. Its offensive power far exceeded that of ordinary magical treasures. None of the pursuing Golden Core Cultivators could withstand this treasure.
Of course, the Qingling Divine Sword that Zhao Yu wielded also had a weakness. That was, it consumed an enormous amount of mana. Zhao Yu could only wield it for a maximum of ten strikes before exhausting his mana. This was still considering that he practiced the Mountain Sutra, which provided him with profound mana, far surpassing cultivators of the same rank.
If it were other cultivators who practised different cultivation techniques, they might be exhausted after propelling two or three strikes.
With a cold gleam flashing in his eyes, Zhao Yu urged his mana, causing the azure Spiritual Light of the Qingling Divine Sword to shine, and slashed towards a Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator.
"Stop!!"
Accompanied by a roar of anger, a terrifying presence of Nascent Soul Level burst forth from behind. A Spiritual Shield emitting blue Spiritual Light shot out fleetingly, positioning itself in front of the Golden Core Great Perfection Cultivator.
Clang!!
The sword light of the Qingling Divine Sword slashed onto the blue Spiritual Shield, piercing through the layers of barriers on it, reminiscent of the ocean, and after exhausting its power, was blocked by the blue Spiritual Shield.
Great swathes of blue water vapor churned as a middle-aged man dressed in a python robe, towering in stature, with a handsome appearance, and exuding a domineering aura appeared.
"We've seen the Sect Leader!"
Upon seeing the man, all of the Golden Core Cultivators present revealed looks of joy and gave a grand salute.
The domineering middle-aged cultivator was none other than the Sect Leader of the Sea Dragon Sect, the Sea Dragon King, the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in this maritime region.
The Sea Dragon King stared intently at the Qingling Divine Sword in Zhao Yu's hands, his eyes flickering with a scorching desire: "This is such a stroke of luck! To actually come across a Spiritual Treasure! If I could obtain this treasure, even cultivators at the Mid-Nascent Soul Level might not be a match for me!"
Zhao Yu asked, "Are you the Sect Leader of the Sea Dragon Sect, the Sea Dragon King?"
"That's right, junior. You dare kill an elder of my Sea Dragon Sect, so today will be the anniversary of your death!"
A cold light passed through the Sea Dragon King's eyes as he stimulated his mana, directly invoking his Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Sea Dragon Spear.
The moment the Sea Dragon Spear flew out, it burst forth with brilliant blue water Spiritual Light, transforming into a lifelike Sea Dragon a hundred Zhang long and pounced directly towards Zhao Yu.
Around the Sea Dragon, numerous blue luminescences surged, turning into an array of blue water arrows shooting towards Zhao Yu.
The Sea Dragon King's cultivation technique was known as the 'Abyssal Sea Dragon Sutra', a top-tier Water Attribute cultivation technique. His Lifebound Magic Treasure, the Sea Dragon Spear, could also increase its power by about ten percent when in the ocean. In this sea region, he dared to challenge even ordinary Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Zhao Yu's lips curved slightly upwards, revealing a hint of a smile: "Sea Dragon King! For you to come out and court death yourself, it truly makes things easier for me!"
Below Zhao Yu, the clouds suddenly split apart, and the White Ghost Emperor soared out, cracking open his mouth, as pitch-black ghostly Qi rushed directly towards the Sea Dragon King.
The Nine Extremes Corpse Emperor also flew out from the clouds, with a punch enveloped in layers of grayish-black corpse Qi, it bombarded the hundred-Zhang long Sea Dragon transformed by the Sea Dragon Spear.
