Chapter 401: Star Sea Domain, Cataclysmic Might

Faced with the plea of a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend, she, a mere Void Refining Demon Fiend, couldn’t very well refuse.

However, she had promptly informed her friend about the matter.

As always, her friend was unmoved!

It was as if a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend was no different from any other demon.

A Ji Meng Level!

This was a Ji Meng Level Demon Fiend!

The Great Realm was vast, but Ji Meng Level Demon Fiends had truly stepped into the Forest of the Strong.

No matter where they went, they would be granted an extremely respected status, earning the endless reverence of other demons!

Chu Xianyi quietly gazed into the distance. She stood inside a pavilion, a solitary figure detached from the world.

Her black hair draped over her shoulders, and a light fragrance drifted from her.

Her beauty was irresistible, captivating the hearts of all demons.

She just kept looking into the distance, her thoughts a mystery.

After a long while, she interrupted the incessantly chattering Lü Yi beside her.

“I’m returning to my secluded cultivation.”

The moment her words fell, Chu Xianyi left the pavilion, taking a wave of gazes and attention with her.

Er…

Lü Yi wasn’t the least bit fazed by Chu Xianyi’s abrupt departure. She was already used to it.

…

When Xu Chang’an returned to his guest room, he didn’t immediately begin studying the Kui’s Treasure Demon Technique as he usually did.

Instead, he took an Alchemy Furnace out of his Storage Bracelet.

He set up a few Array Restrictions and began to immerse himself in his Alchemy Skill.

For him, Alchemy was no longer simply a means to accumulate cultivation resources. It had become a hobby, a craft.

He used it to adjust his state and relax his mind.

Xu Chang’an delved into this research for the better part of a month.

When he finally refocused and put away the Alchemy Furnace, he saw the view outside the Spiritual Ship.

The Star Sea Domain!

Within the Great Realm Di Jun, there were seven continents and Four Major Seas.

Kunpeng Land, Blood Rock Land, Moon Spirit Land, Taiyi Land, Xingtian Land, Golden Crow Land, and Taowu Land.

The Black Mist Sea, the Star Sea, the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the Nether Sea.

To travel from Kunpeng Land to Blood Rock Land, one had to pass through this Star Sea Domain.

Below the Spiritual Ship was no longer a vast, boundless land.

Instead, there was a boundless expanse of sea.

Xu Chang’an extended his Demon Sense to perceive it.

SPLASH~

A vast stretch of seawater stirred, rising into waves without any wind.

On the surface, specks of hazy light shimmered, as if about to break through the water.

At first glance, these lights resembled stars hanging high in the sky.

‘How beautiful!’

Xu Chang’an sighed in admiration.

‘It’s so different from the scenery on land.’

‘We must be about a third of the way there now.’

After a moment of observation with his Demon Sense, Xu Chang’an paid it no more mind.

The Star Sea Domain was beautiful, but ultimately, it couldn’t enthrall him the way the Great Dao did.

‘Time to continue my studies.’

His mind now fully relaxed, Xu Chang’an resumed his cultivation and study of the Kui’s Treasure Demon Technique.

Over the years, he had become increasingly adept at condensing Bloodline vortexes.

Any Demon Fiend visiting the Star Sea Domain for the first time would be astonished by its beauty and grandeur.

But if one was merely passing through, the novelty would eventually wear off, replaced by tedium.

Whether a year or ten passed, a probe with one’s Demon Sense would reveal an unchanging ocean below, as if the ship hadn’t moved at all.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years passed.

「On this day.」

Xu Chang’an, deep in his secluded cultivation, was jolted awake by a commotion outside the Spiritual Ship.

Extending his Demon Sense, Xu Chang’an saw a vast patch of thin mist gathering above the Spiritual Ship.

Faint flashes of lightning flickered within the mist.

RUMBLE~

Another deafening roar followed.

Xu Chang’an clearly saw a bolt of lightning, shaped like a dragon, flash past and slam violently into the sea’s surface.

Its terrifying destructive power instantly vaporized a huge section of the sea.

It created a momentary vacuum in that area of the sea.

The immense force of the impact caused the surrounding water to churn and surge upwards.

In an instant, it kicked up colossal waves tens of thousands of feet high.

It wasn’t just the waves. The aftershocks of the lightning lingered within them, flashing like electric serpents.

‘What terrifying power!’

Probing with his Demon Sense, Xu Chang’an got a clear look at the power of that Thunder Dragon.

It wasn’t a Divine Technique, yet it was more terrifying and overwhelming than any ordinary one.

Such might left Xu Chang’an thoroughly shaken.

Even the Divine Technique from the Qinyuan Level Demon Fiend that had struck down a thousand demons couldn’t compare to this!

‘A single strike from one of these Thunder Dragons in the mist could probably threaten a Fei Lian Level Demon Fiend! It might even be stronger than that!’

Even at his current Realm of cultivation, he still had to marvel at the power of nature.

Within the mist, lightning flashed again. Countless electric serpents converged, forming another Thunder Dragon.

‘Not good!’

Xu Chang’an was alarmed.

His Demon Sense told him that this Thunder Dragon was heading for the Spiritual Ship!

VMM~ VMM~ VMM~

Lights flashed aboard the Spiritual Ship as its various Array Restrictions activated at full power.

Clearly, the members of the Demon Race controlling the Spiritual Ship had also noticed the situation.

They were desperately trying to evade the Thunder Dragon’s strike.

The Spiritual Ship was fast, but it was no match for the Thunder Dragon.

The lightning coalesced, and the Thunder Dragon shot toward the Spiritual Ship.

VMM~ VMM~ VMM~

The Thunder Dragon hadn’t even arrived, yet the Array Restrictions on the Spiritual Ship were already trembling violently.

Powerful Energy fluctuations washed over the entire Spiritual Ship.

The Thunder Dragon’s power was utterly terrifying. If it struck them head-on, even with the multiple Tier Seven High Grade Restrictions inscribed on the ship, it would likely be impossible to withstand.

“Elder Ha Li! Elder Changsun! We humbly request your aid!”

As Primordial Spirit Power filled the air, a booming voice echoed from the sky.

At the same time, two figures appeared outside the Spiritual Ship.

One was a youth with salt-and-pepper hair but a strikingly handsome, young face.

The other was a solemn, round-faced, middle-aged man seated cross-legged on a Lotus Platform Spiritual Treasure.

Boundless Primordial Spirits condensed behind the two powerhouses.

At that moment, the two Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends struck with their full power, holding nothing back!

BOOM!

Two breathtaking attacks shot toward the Thunder Dragon.

HISS~ HISS~ HISS~

The techniques of the two Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends didn’t completely destroy the Thunder Dragon’s attack.

They only managed to weaken its power by more than half.

However, even with its power diminished, a strike from the remnants of the Thunder Dragon would still inflict heavy damage on the Spiritual Ship, though it might not destroy it completely.

Inside the Spiritual Ship, Xu Chang’an had already braced himself for the impact.

Just then, a blooming purple lotus appeared above the Spiritual Ship.

In a fraction of a second, the purple lotus petals closed, enveloping the Spiritual Ship in their protective embrace.

HISS~

The Thunder Dragon slammed violently into the purple lotus.

A halo of light seemed to flow across the purple lotus’s surface, completely neutralizing the Thunder Dragon’s assault.

‘A Marvel of Heaven and Earth!’

In an instant, Xu Chang’an recognized the origin of the purple lotus.

The Grade of this Marvel of Heaven and Earth far surpassed any he had ever seen before.

In terms of Defense alone, it was even more powerful than a Top-Grade Spiritual Treasure!

However, High-grade Marvels of Heaven and Earth were even rarer and more precious than Top-Grade Spiritual Treasures.

‘This Blood Corpse Commerce certainly has deep foundations!’

‘I wonder who in the Demon Race is controlling this purple lotus?’

Having blocked the Thunder Dragon’s attack, the two Qinyuan Level Demon Fiends flickered and re-entered the Spiritual Ship.

The members of the Demon Race piloting the Spiritual Ship reacted with extreme speed.

With the Array Restrictions at full power, the Spiritual Ship shimmered and shot off into the distance like a streak of light.

The mist had not yet dispersed, and they were still at risk of being struck by another Thunder Dragon.

「Aboard the Spiritual Ship, inside an incredibly luxurious guest room.」

The Demon Fiend Ha Li was feeling rather frustrated.

‘My combat power is impressive, to be sure,’ he thought, ‘but faced with this kind of natural force, I’m still powerless.’

‘Our luck is just terrible!’

‘The Thunder Dragons of the Star Sea are a unique feature of this domain, a Catastrophe Level phenomenon.’

‘But the Star Sea Domain is vast, practically endless.’

‘Running into one this time was just plain bad luck!’

‘Thankfully, this Spiritual Ship is packed with experts, and we even have a High-grade Marvel of Heaven and Earth.’

‘An ordinary Spiritual Boat would have been completely obliterated in that cataclysm, everyone on board dead.’

‘The one who used that Marvel of Heaven and Earth was Huangfu Jingyi, a vice president of the Blood Corpse Commerce!’

‘The Blood Corpse Commerce truly has deep foundations. To have such a treasure on hand, even in these circumstances!’

‘Even if that Huangfu Jingyi is weaker than me, with that Marvel, he could escape from my grasp and save his own life!’

‘If Huangfu Jingyi has this kind of backing, the other vice president probably isn’t far behind. In that case, the Young Master Blood Corpse, Hongyu, with his shallow foundation and lack of resources, is actually the weakest of the bunch!’

‘Let them fight! Let them fight! It has nothing to do with me either way!’

‘As long as I get them to their destination, my mission as a Demon Fiend will be complete!’

‘The Tribulation Cultivation Forces are even more rampant in the Star Sea Domain. I haven’t crossed between continents in years, so I wonder what the caliber of these Tribulation Cultivators is like now! I’ll have to stay on my toes for the rest of the journey!’

With that thought, the Demon Fiend Ha Li drained the Spirit Wine in his hand in a single gulp.
