Chapter 2975: Chapter 1098: Slaying with a Finger, Divine Perception Showdown (Part 2)
"Such a monstrous existence, no matter how hard I strive, no matter how desperately I push myself, I can only chase after him my whole life, never able to surpass him."
"Only by returning to the Land of Fallen Demons, retrieving the Five Elements Heavenly Materials, and aiding our cultivation, will we have a chance to advance to Divine Transformation and seek revenge."
"That is our true purpose for returning!"
Gu Xiaolian nodded, "Then I’ll listen to you, brother!"
Gu Shaoshang breathed a sigh of relief, a rare smile appearing on his face.
Now the Black Demon Pot has been set up, even though the Earth Qi is lacking and the timing is not right, relying on this Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasure, a passage can still be opened.
Moreover, the movement won’t be too great, making it less likely to attract attention.
Currently, this North Sea Cultivation World is not suitable for peaceful cultivation. Only by returning to the Land of Fallen Demons and retrieving the Five Elements Heavenly Materials can one break through the Late Stage Nascent Soul, or even the Divine Transformation Realm!
A cyclone rose from beneath their feet, the entrance to the Land of Fallen Demons.
Gu Shaoshang stepped in, taking one last look at the Oblivion Sea, with a trace of longing in his eyes.
Who knows how long it will be before he emerges again this time...
A glance!
Gu Shaoshang suddenly froze.
He saw the ripples in the seawater expanding, and two figures unexpectedly appeared before his eyes.
One of them, he could tell at a glance, was genuinely at the Late Stage Nascent Soul.
And the bald monk, at this moment, was exceedingly respectful, even humble, following behind another young man.
So, what is the cultivation level of this somewhat familiar young man?
Familiar?
Gu Shaoshang blurted out, "It’s you!"
The response was an endless illusion brought by a cold, indifferent gaze and a finger’s worth of crimson Sword Qi before the Descent Illusion Realm.
Swoosh!
The Sword Qi pierced through the air, forcefully entering the cyclone, striking heavily onto Gu Shaoshang’s body.
Boom!
Within the cyclone, a mist of blood exploded forth.
Following it was the heart-wrenching wail of a woman, resonating through the heavens and the earth.
"Brother!"
A boundless radiance erupted from the woman’s body, obscuring everything, illuminating the Oblivion Sea.
It shattered the ensuing onslaught of more Sword Qi into fragments.
When all the chaos quieted down, the cyclone had already dissipated, leaving only an elderly and a young figure.
"It’s the entrance." Kong Chan slightly observed and made the correct judgment.
Luo Chen naturally knew that his concern wasn’t about this aspect, but rather the life and death of the sibling pair.
Gu Shaoshang was surely dead, beyond any doubt.
With his current Primordial Spirit strength, utilizing Mirror Flower, Water Moon, he had achieved different transformations.
When the mirror shatters, and the water is disturbed, it signifies the wilting of flowers and the setting of moons, representing the destruction of the Divine Soul trapped inside.
That crimson Sword Qi was also enough to annihilate Gu Shaoshang’s physical body.
Yet that girl Gu Xiaolian...
"She should still be alive, as that True Sun Crown protected her at the critical moment. She must have escaped into the Land of Fallen Demons by now."
It’s truly deserving of being a Heaven Connecting Spiritual Treasure!
Faced with an attack by a Divine Transformation Great Power, even the person involved hadn’t reacted, but that True Sun Crown could automatically safeguard its owner.
If not for this, Luo Chen would have utterly eradicated them.
Kong Chan glanced at the dissipating cyclone and cautiously asked, "Should we go in?"
Luo Chen did not answer, his face showing a contemplative expression.
Go in?
He didn’t have the means to enter the Land of Fallen Demons at hand.
Though he possessed two Spiritual Treasures crafted personally by the Refining Heaven Demon Monarch, one was the Bone Burial Umbrella in Tianyuan Daoist Sect before the Demon Monarch’s fall, and the other was the Yuan Tu Sword, which achieved Spirit Intelligence afterward.
Neither of these knew how to return to the Land of Fallen Demons under abnormal activation conditions.
Moreover!
Although a Divine Transformation Great Power is one of the top existences in the Mountain Sea Realm, they are not invincible, and there are many treacherous places that can threaten their safety.
Like the Soulbreak Cliff, which severely wounded the Qi Xia Yuan Jun, or this place, the Land of Fallen Demons, where the Blood Sea Elder Ancestor was once buried.
Forcing an entry would be most unwise!
"Let’s go, first to meet an old friend."
"Who?"
"He’s also been to the Land of Fallen Demons and received a significant opportunity, attaining the Divine Transformation. It’s simpler to ask him some things." Luo Chen’s eyes narrowed, and he flung his sleeve as he departed.
Kong Chan was initially puzzled, then suddenly realized.
The person his master mentioned was widely renowned, known by everyone in the North Sea.
It must be that Array Dao Great Power—Li Canghai!
...
North Sea, Heaven’s Edge!
This place used to be the base camp of the Canghai Righteous Alliance. At its peak, cultivators gathered like clouds, and Glint trails were as threads.
Even though the Canghai Righteous Alliance now exists in name only, and dominant forces like the Demon Luo Flow Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly have dissipated like rain and wind, Heaven’s Edge still buzzes with activity.
The reason being, it is the cultivation ground of the only Great Power among the Human Clan in the North Sea!
Currently, the North Sea Cultivation World is in utter chaos, with Demon Beasts invading and treasure snatching happening at every moment. In contrast, Heaven’s Edge is much safer with a Great Power overseeing it.
Whether Li Canghai pays attention to the affairs here or the lives of the ants below, those Demon Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators have to show some respect, not daring to cause trouble in this small patch of land.
On this day.
In the sky above Heaven’s Edge, two figures suddenly appeared.
At the moment those two figures appeared, the owner of this place seemed to have a sense, with clouds gathering in the sky, opening a large door in the void.
"Friend, if you don’t mind, please come inside for a while."
Luo Chen glanced at that void door, his eyes flickering.
After giving a few instructions to Kong Chan, he walked in leisurely.
Upon entering, an extremely dense Spirit Qi rushed to meet him, exuding various Spirit Mechanisms in between.
Looking around, the vast ocean was calm, and the mountains stood tall, presenting a scene of seclusion and paradise separate from the world.
Among them, a few indistinct scenes gave Luo Chen a sense of familiarity.
The Spirit Mountain of the Ice Extreme Sect!
The Rotten Stalemate Mountain Range!
The two names emerged, and then Luo Chen’s gaze shifted downward, where he saw on the tranquil sea, an old man rowing a boat, showing him a kind smile.
"To dare to enter my Mountain and Sea Seal, it seems Friend has indeed proved the Dao and achieved Divine Transformation, congratulations!"
Indeed!
Luo Chen’s suspicions were confirmed, this realm is self-contained, seemingly at Heaven’s Edge, yet actually within another space.
Within the other’s Mountain and Sea Seal.
The Yuan Tu Sword within him had a slight tremor, appearing restless, clearly not liking this environment.
Luo Chen suppressed the agitation of the Spiritual Treasure and gracefully landed on that small boat.
"Please!" Li Canghai extended his hand in invitation.
Luo Chen sat down generously.
The waves beside them parted, and a graceful silhouette emerged from the sea, holding a silver bottle to pour wine for the two.
As the wine flowers blossomed, smiles also bloomed on their faces.
Luo Chen withdrew his gaze from the woman resembling a mermaid and looked at Li Canghai, "You seem truly at ease, while the outside is in chaos, you’re leisurely hiding between these mountains and seas."
Li Canghai raised his wine cup, took a small sip, and then exhaled a breath of wine.
"Hoo... what does the turmoil of the Outer World have to do with me? Our cultivation is to seek Longevity and achieve a carefree life, isn’t it?"
Luo Chen nodded in agreement, yet also disagreed, "At least making our front door a bit cleaner, wouldn’t it be better?"
To a Divine Transformation Great Power, the so-called front door naturally does not refer only to the small area of Heaven’s Edge but broadly to the enormous North Sea Cultivation World.
The current North Sea Cultivation World is indeed too tumultuous.
Because of the rampant Demon Clan, because of the rampant Evil Demons.
Li Canghai slightly frowned, starting to scrutinize Luo Chen carefully.
Opposite him, the man’s appearance remained excessively youthful, and the years of his cultivation were equally exceedingly young.
Sitting there, like a pine tree, like a great mountain, majestic and imposing.
Yet, behind the calm as water appearance, it seemed to harbor the volcanic heat of a burgeoning volcano.
Such contrasting temperament, with no leakage of his realm, made it completely unclear of the other’s true realm.
It should be noted, this was within the meticulously refined Spiritual Treasure Mountain Sea Seal of his!
Even he, Li Canghai, found it hard to see through Luo Chen’s strength.
Is this still the manifestation right after breaking through the God Transformation Realm?
Li Canghai softly said, "Friend Luo, are you planning grand moves after initially achieving Divine Transformation, aiming for solitary refinement when in poverty, and assisting the world when in success?"
"Not quite grand moves, but those two Demon Clan Great Powers can’t be allowed to rampage recklessly!" Luo Chen raised his wine cup, sniffed it, and then drank it in one gulp. "Good wine!"
Li Canghai was slightly silent, and after a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems you still hold some resentment about the incident with the Sea Emperor Whale Great Sage Beili almost taking action against you back then!"
Luo Chen did not confirm nor deny.
Back then, if not for Qing Shuang standing on his side and Li Canghai mediating, he might have been taken advantage of by others.
Li Canghai shook his head, "Friend just reached Divine Transformation and isn’t eager to stabilize your realm, intending to make big moves, aren’t you afraid it will harm your Dao Cultivation?"
"Stabilize the realm?"
Luo Chen mumbled, the corners of his mouth slightly lifting.
Divine Perception slowly spread out.
Li Canghai realized something, releasing his own Divine Perception as well.
At the moment their Divine Perceptions collided, each of their Primordial Spirit shadows appeared behind them, yet within the Mountain and Sea Seal realm, it stirred roaring tides, and the mountains quaked.
