Chapter 1665 - 1472: Eighth-Rank Sea Demon

The turbulent waves have started forming within a three thousand-mile radius near the Hidden Gate.

Some waves rise over dozens of meters, and some even reach a hundred feet high, capable of enveloping even a floating city in an instant.

For this reason, no one dares to approach the Hidden Gate.

Yet the path of cultivation is like rowing upstream; you retreat if you do not advance.

Many understand that if the Hidden Gate opens, it may present a mystical opportunity.

Since an Immortal imprisoned the Demon Clan in the Hidden Gate back then, there must be treasures nearby that suppress the Demon Clan.

Failing that, the demons inside the Hidden Gate are all formidable experts.

Subduing one or two as mounts or puppets would greatly enhance one's power, wouldn't it?

Many people, though aware of the dangers of the Hidden Gate, still want to reap at least some benefit.

Qin Ruoshui, having been adrift on the Chaos Sea since childhood because of the floating city, knows much about the Chaos Sea and has heard many rumors about the Hidden Gate.

Though somewhat fearful, since Ye Guichen saved his life, he did not evade further and directly set out for the Hidden Gate with Ye Guichen.

Along the way, although they encountered several groups of pirates, with the Black Dragon and the celestial-grade fishing rod taken from Big Beard, most pirates were easily slain by the Black Dragon before they could approach.

Seeing the Black Dragon's fierceness, everyone developed a deep fear of it.

"Brother Ye, may I ask, are you from the other side of the Chaos Sea?" After drifting at sea for over thirty days, Qin Ruoshui couldn't resist asking.

According to Qin Ruoshui, another ten days or so should bring them within three thousand miles of the Hidden Gate.

By then, finding the Hidden Gate or even getting close to it would still be a problem.

Ye Guichen had long been aware that people speculated he came from the immortal world on the other side of the Chaos Sea.

However, Ye Guichen simply smiled slightly without answering.

Seeing Ye Guichen's reluctance to speak, Qin Ruoshui became more convinced that Ye Guichen must come from some grand family in the immortal realms.

Xie Biwen became a follower of Ye Guichen, busy boasting about him.

Along the way, besides slaying pirates, the Black Dragon fished for Sea Demons using that celestial-grade fishing rod.

Even more astonishing, the Black Dragon caught a Sea Demon almost every interval.

As they neared three thousand miles of the Hidden Gate, voices of excited cultivators echoed around.

"Oh my, I caught a fourth-grade Sea Demon!"

"I caught one too, a third-grade! I haven't caught such a high-grade Sea Demon in decades."

"Haven't you noticed that the number of Sea Demons seems to have suddenly increased, making them easier to catch?"

Many started discussing.

As everyone conversed, the entire floating city suddenly shook twice.

Someone exclaimed, "Oh heavens, what is that? Look over there!"

Everyone followed the direction of the pointed finger.

Beneath the sea, a moving wave appeared, rapidly approaching.

That thing was almost as large as the floating city they inhabited.

Xie Biwen's pupils shrank, suddenly realizing, "Look quickly, it seems to be connected to Mr. Long's fishing line."

Thanks to Xie Biwen's reminder, many noticed that the fishing rod in Black Dragon's hand was slightly bent, suggesting it had hooked something large.

Even the previously calm Black Dragon showed a touch of seriousness.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, with a loud roar, a water pillar shot toward the floating city.

In mid-air, the water became ice spears, stabbing downward like swords.

Thud! Thud!

The ice arrows were exceptionally sharp, piercing through bodies with chilling force.

Even when they struck the floating city, they hit its surface like cannonballs, blasting open huge holes.

The cultivators on the whole floating city were thrown into a panic.

"That appears to be a seventh-grade Sea Demon!"

"Oh gosh, why is a seventh-grade Sea Demon appearing here?"

"Quick, counterattack! If it gets close, we're all doomed!"

Seeing the ice arrows, many reacted immediately.

Qin Ruoshui rushed forward, shouting at Black Dragon, "Mr. Long, release the rod! We cannot let that Sea Demon approach, or we are all finished!"

Black Dragon did not respond, instead leaping forward, spearing the end of the rod into the floating city, then deftly balancing on the fishing line.

Swiftly, he charged toward the seventh-grade Sea Demon.

In a flash, the Black Dragon reached the formidable Sea Demon.

"Bang!"

Black Dragon stomped down hard, delivering a mountain-like force upon the Sea Demon.

Fierce waves surged around.

It was like a bomb exploding in the center.

Even the floating city trembled violently twice.

Ye Guichen squinted his eyes, coldly watching the distant battle.

The blood within him felt as if it were boiling.

This is what a real battle is all about.

Yet Ye Guichen had not yet seen what the Sea Demon truly was.

Everyone eyed the sea intently.

Qin Ruoshui gripped a broad blade firmly, ready to strike at any moment.

Xie Biwen was already stunned.

With his mouth agape, he leaned close to Ye Guichen, "Brother Ye, that's a seventh-grade monster! Heavens, I haven't seen such a great demon in many years."
