Chapter 644: Void Barb Beast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Tens of kilometers at the bottom of the eastern part of Blood Night Fearsome Sea…
A fiendish-looking man with gold-colored skin was standing at the bottom of the deep sea. There were over a dozen giant sea demons that were surrounding him, revealing fearful eyes and some disdain. They didn’t attack or speak, simply standing around him quietly.
The gold-skinned man with a ferocious expression was the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch. He stood expressionlessly at the bottom of the sea while there was a giant white jade palace behind him. He stood there silently and guarded the palace.
Thirty minutes… one hour later, there was a commotion from the distance. Near 100 sea demons opened up a path aggressively. From their aura presences and sizes, all these sea demons were obviously demon kings.
Most of these sea demons were a type of peculiar living being which were covered in black scales. Their bodies looked like a deer without legs, and at the center of the waist, there were two flesh-like wings while the heads looked like a horned prawn. They had slender and long tails which over 30 meters by itself. There were rows of spikes on the tail with a barb at the tip of the tail like an iron whip. Let alone getting swept by it, just the look of it would make someone fl.u.s.tered.
This was a sea demon race that was considered one of the stronger races in the Blood Night Fearsome Sea, and they were called the Void Barb Beasts which occupied the entire eastern part of the sea region. This was why these demon kings that surrounded the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch had eyes of fear and disdain. They were fearful of his strength but disdainful about his status.
“Hmph!”
There was a m.u.f.fled voice that came from a distance as the near 100 demon kings opened up a path. A white-robed youth walked in with large strides. This man looked as flawless as jade, and if it wasn’t for the little horns on his head, some would a.s.sume he was a young master of a certain clan.
He walked swiftly and wasn’t affected by seawater at all. His eyes weren’t looking at the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch but straight at the Thearch Palace at the back. It had frightening bright eyes, which stared for a while, before he looked at the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch and said, “Golden Flood Dragon, what are you doing over here and not at your own territory? Are you thinking of offering this palace to our brothers?”
The Void Barb Beast Demon Thearch spoke with an arrogant att.i.tude. The Golden Flood Dragon’s strength might be slightly stronger than him, but he totally disregarded it.
In fact…!
He actually had the qualification to be arrogant because the Void Barb Beasts were one of the tyrants of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea as their race had a total of eight demon thearchs. Apart from the demon thearchs that were in the center part of the blood sea, there were no other demon thearchs that dared to have any hostility towards their race. Most importantly… their race even had a demon sovereign. Would there be any sea demon race that actually dared to contest against them?
It was very mystical when he was speaking, too, as the seawater would automatically form a vacuum for the voice to travel over, allowing the Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch to hear it clearly in his ears.
“Hehe!”
The Golden Flood Dragon Demon Thearch’s face revealed a flattering expression. As its mouth was moving, the seawater automatically opened up as he spoke with a smile, “Lord Gou Hong, I am being forced out, and I have nowhere safe to go. I came here especially to seek for help from my Lords. If my Lords are willing to help take revenge for me, I can offer this divine palace that I obtained to you.”
“Revenge?”
The brows of the demon thearch named Gou Hong lifted as he looked at the Golden Flood Dragon suspiciously and asked, “What is the situation? Tell me in detail.”
The Golden Flood Dragon quickly nodded and explained, “Lord Gou Hong, there was a group of humans that came over to the fearsome sea recently and was saying that our fearsome sea has some treasures as they conducted a search and killed my territory’s demon race citizens without any reasoning. I warned them to leave, but they continued their reckless slaughter and even killed all my sons. Had it not been for the fact that I escaped fast enough, I wouldn’t even be alive to meet with you. They had probed around all the way here, and I even heard that they were going to kill Lord Black Squid…”
The Golden Flood Dragon spoke in a clear and logical manner while his face was filled with resentment, grievance, and tears. Even the Void Barb Beast Race’s demon kings had resentful expressions and murderous aura in their eyes.
The young demon thearch had this calm expression and didn’t have any reaction after hearing the story. He pondered for a moment and asked the Golden Flood Dragon with doubtful eyes, “Why don’t you go to the blood sea to find those demon sovereigns? And are those humans from the Nine Thearchs’ Clans? How many experts are there?”
The Golden Flood Dragon’s heart jolted, and he now understood that the Void Barb Beast’s reputation for being the tyrants of the Blood Night Fearsome Sea wasn’t just for show. He quickly explained, “I am just a small figure; how would I dare to go to the blood sea? What if I infuriated those demon sovereigns? I wouldn’t even know how I died. Those humans shouldn’t be from the Nine Thearchs’ Clan and should be from two ancient clans. I heard them talking, and they seemed to be from the Long Clan…?”
Gou Hong went silent again and asked after a moment later, “What is the function of your treasure? Could it be a human race’s transcending saint artifact? Or a pseudo-divine artifact? I have to ask my Elder Brother about your matter as I cannot make the decision by myself. Hand over your treasure to me first.”
“This…”
The Golden Flood Dragon revealed a hesitant expression. Right at this moment, his mind suddenly echoed with a transmitted message which caused his expression to immediately change. He exclaimed, “Not good! The humans have killed their way here! Lord Gou Hong, run quickly.”
Buzz—!
True enough, there was a fluctuation at the sea region 100 miles to the west. There was a light spot that expanded quickly and revealing a Void Ancient Path. Dozens of people flew out and locked their eyes on the Thearch Palace.
The wrinkled veteran’s hand suddenly appeared with a small cauldron that abruptly struck over here. At the same time, his large hands clapped, which caused the spatial zone of the entire sea region to fluctuate, causing the seawater to constantly tumble. Those demon kings were all sent flying, and only that Gou Hong demon thearch was standing firmly.
Buzz!
The Thearch Palace flashed with white light, and the Golden Flood Dragon suddenly vanished. A youth wearing fiery red battle armor appeared while the Thearch Palace vanished as well. The youth’s hands slid underwater, ripping open a pitch black spatial crack; and he vanished after entering it.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The small cauldron flew over with a tyrannical and fatal aura presence. It was rapidly expanding while flying over and bas.h.i.+ng everything along the way. All those Void Barb Beast Race’s demon kings that were smashed were all turned into mince. The small cauldron was flowing with a green aura and glowing with mysterious runic wordings. That destructive pressure even made Gou Hong’s body to slightly tremble.
“How dare you!”
Seeing its clansmen getting smashed into mince by the powerful pressure, Gou Hong was extremely enraged. His handsome face had turned, and the horns on his head had lit up. An invisible aura presence spread out from his horns and scattered out instantly.
At this moment, his mind was in doubt. Why did the Golden Flood Dragon suddenly vanish? Why was there a human youth that appeared afterward? That youth then immediately vanished without a trace into the spatial crack. In just a split moment, the Thearch Palace, the Golden Flood Dragon, and the human youth were all gone.
It was just that…
The small cauldron was already rus.h.i.+ng over, and his body was right in front of it. Behind him were dozens of Void Barb Beasts, and he didn’t have the time to think so much. Gou Hong’s body flashed with green light as he turned into a giant Void Barb Beast. His slender iron tail which looked like it was molded with metal abruptly swept at the small cauldron.
Boom!
The small cauldron shook slightly while Gou Hong’s iron tail was ruptured. He had underestimated the power of this small cauldron. This was a pseudo-divine artifact which had acknowledged its master, which was fully activated by the runic wordings on the surface. Furthermore, it was struck out by a peak-stage Heaven Monarch. How could Gou Hong’s measly strength block against it?
Boom! Boom!
As the small cauldron continued to smash through, it immediately turned the severely-injured Gou Hong into mince and only stopped after crus.h.i.+ng a dozen more demon kings.
“He escaped again? How could that kid react so quickly? Could he actually be sensing for spatial fluctuations non-stop? That couldn’t be right! Even if he could sense spatial fluctuations, how could he react so quickly? He started to escape even before we appeared. Furthermore… how could he consecutively use the Heaven Evasion? He had been jolted by the Greenwood Cauldron’s aura presence and should be in a bad state, right? He might even be torn by the power of the spatial zone.”
The skeletal consecrator reached out his hand to withdraw the small cauldron. His face revealed this expression of regret. If Jiang Yi was to react just a little slower, he would have been jolted to death; and the spatial zone would be locked up, which wouldn’t allow him to escape.
“Eighth Brother! Ahh, Ahh…!”
Not long afterward, there was an enraged roar from the distance. Immediately after, seven powerful aura presences skimmed over. Before their figures could even be seen, the Divine Pattern Master and the Astrologer both vomited fresh blood because of the powerful aura pressure.
The skeletal consecrator’s expression changed as he flew forward violently and roared out at the same time, “Young Master Fei, we have to escape quickly. There are seven powerful demon thearchs coming. Two of them are peak-grade demon thearchs. We have been tricked. That kid is using others to kill us.”
