Chapter 417: Epic Duel Between Heaven and Sea
Chapter 417: Epic Duel Between Heaven and Sea
Lu Ran flickered several times and arrived at a mountain peak closer to the sea.
The view from here was excellent, with dense trees providing ample cover for Lu Ran to hide.
He hid behind a large tree, his face slightly excited as he used his keen eyesight to observe carefully.
"Roar!!"
In the distant sea, the Fiery Sea Serpent's roar shook the heavens.
It spewed massive pillars of fire, spraying them wildly over the sea!
The fierce fire columns had tremendous impact force, capable of piercing through the seawater and burning any living beings hiding within.
Evil Technique: Piercing Sea Flame!
"Amazing."
Lu Ran marveled inwardly.
He watched as one by one, the souls of Black Carps floated up from the sea.
No wonder the Fiery Sea Serpent was so agitated and causing such a commotion; it must have encountered a school of Black Carps.
Lu Ran aimed at a few Black Carp souls that had already floated up into the air and immediately cast his technique.
A floor mirror appeared beside him, suspended between heaven and sea, and another floor mirror floated in the air.
Without a word, Lu Ran thrust his upper body into the mirror!
In the vision of the Netherworld Eye, the Black Carp souls struggled wildly, their tails flailing and mouths opening and closing, none of them willing to cooperate.
"Got rich! Got rich!"
Lu Ran murmured, drawing five Black Carp souls into his eye.
"Roar!!"
Another massive roar echoed between heaven and sea.
Lu Ran's face froze!
"Whoa!" He drew in a sharp breath and quickly withdrew his upper body from the mirror, dispersing it in the process.
Sheesh!
Why do you have to roar so loudly?
Lu Ran's face was full of grievance as he rubbed his ears.
Thankfully, the Fiery Sea Serpent clan did not possess sound-based techniques, a rare moment of divine intervention.
If such a massive creature roared with the aid of an evil technique, what would happen?
Hmm. Lu Ran felt he was being PUA'd by this cruel world.
Instead of cursing the demons for descending and wreaking havoc, he was grateful that they did not have sound-based evil techniques?
"I must be really sick!"
Lu Ran muttered, observing the movements of the Fiery Sea Serpent.
He locked onto a few distant souls and summoned the bronze mirror once more.
Fiery Sea Serpent: "Roar!!"
Lu Ran's vision went black: "What the f!!"
I was standing on the mountain, and you didn't roar.
I stuck my head into the mirror, and you started roaring wildly?
"Boom!!"
Dark clouds churned in the sky, and thunder rumbled.
Lu Ran: "."
The dog's heart is bitter.
Being tormented by the serpent was bad enough, but now even the heavens are involved?
Are you unhappy that I'm gaining without effort, gorging myself?
Thinking about it, Lu Ran felt a bit more at ease.
He quickly withdrew his head and dispersed the bronze mirror, being quite cautious.
"Come on, debts don't weigh you down!"
Lu Ran steeled, directly activating the Evil Sculpture: Black Carp.
After all, his head had been buzzing all along, and compared to the dragon's roar and thunder, the vibration of the evil sculpture was almost trivial.
"Buzz!!"
The Black Carp evil sculpture trembled.
Mist Realm, First Stage ... Fifth Stage!
Stream Realm, First Stage ... Third Stage!
In an instant, Lu Ran saw countless black carps surge out of the sea.
The dense Black Carps formed a massive school, charging diagonally into the sky and slamming into the Fiery Sea Serpent.
Each small carp was as black as ink, mysterious and exquisite.
Like the Dragon Carp, the Black Carp had long, thin fins that moved gracefully, resembling luxurious black wedding gowns.
"Sea Rank Evil Technique."
From another mountain peak behind, Yu Changsheng suddenly spoke.
The Dragon Carp Sect and the Black Carp Clan were mortal enemies, but their techniques had some similarities.
Through the scale of the school, Yu Changsheng easily deduced the grade of the evil technique and thus the strength of the Black Carp in the sea.
So, a Sea Realm Black Carp had appeared from the sea?
Seeing its kin being wantonly oppressed and slaughtered, it was displeased, wasn't it?
It's important to note that the demons in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm are different from those invading the human world.
Regardless of their intelligence, their goal is very clear—collecting Holy Spirit Qi!
Now, a Sea Realm Black Carp had appeared to protect its kin.
This battle might end inconclusively.
After all, the demons' actions are all centered around "collecting Holy Spirit Qi."
If both sides are mutually exhausted, it would be disadvantageous for everyone!
However, this battle might also have a twist.
After all, one of the combatants is the Demon - Fiery Sea Serpent, a creature with extremely unstable emotions. If it gets truly enraged, it might disregard the bigger picture.
This point must be utilized.
Yu Changsheng calculated in his mind, murmuring, "No, the battle cannot end so quickly."
The more fiercely they fight, the wider the impact, the more the Sect Leader will benefit.
"Jing Hong!"
"Mr. Zong Long?" Jing Hong, who had just climbed up the mountain, responded immediately.
Yu Changsheng immediately said, "We will go to the mountain peak closer to the battlefield. You will blow the horn towards the sea, adding fuel to the fire, and absolutely not let the battle stop."
Jing Hong: "Yes!"
Yu Changsheng: "Nightmare Guardian, please ask the Sect Leader to come and assist?"
Deng Yuxiang nodded lightly.
"Roar!!!"
Just as the group was speaking, a dragon's roar tore through the clouds and shattered the rocks.
High above the vast sea, the Fiery Sea Serpent had dodged several attacks before opening its massive jaws to unleash another Piercing Sea Flame.
The highly penetrative pillar of fire shot towards the school of fish.
At the same time, the Fiery Sea Serpent summoned five smaller fiery serpents.
Demon Art: Serpent Flame Whip!
"Sect Leader!"
"Huh?" Lu Ran stood atop a mountain near the sea, gazing at the battlefield in a daze.
Although he had mentally prepared himself, seeing five small fiery serpents still caught him off guard.
Five! This meant it was the Sea Rank Demon Technique: Serpent Flame Whip!
The massive creature wreaking havoc between the sea and the sky was at least a Sea Realm Demon.
"We're still on the previous mountain peak. Open the Mirror Flower Moon and teleport us over."
"Alright." Lu Ran reached out to the side.
"Hiss!"
"Hiss!" On the battlefield, the five small fiery serpents coiled around the pillar of fire, spiraling downward before the last one plunged into the sea, like a tiger among sheep!
Any living being caught by the small fiery serpents would be mercilessly strangled, crushed, and incinerated.
Instantly, more Ink Carp souls floated up from the sea.
Lu Ran's eyes lit up with excitement.
So many fish!
So, so many fish. Bring on more!
Just as Deng Yuxiang and the others stepped out of the floor mirror, they heard a strange sound.
"Pop~"
She almost thought she had imagined it!
Amidst the thunderous sky, the roaring serpent, and the raging waves, it was hard to believe such a clear sound could be heard.
But in this chaotic environment, the sound of "fish blowing bubbles" was so distinct!
What...?
Deng Yuxiang's gaze shifted to the distance, where she spotted a colossal Ink Carp bursting out of the sea, measuring nearly 800 meters in length! Its massive size left onlookers in awe.
It was comparable to the Sea Rank Divine Technique: Dragon Carp Celestial Ship that Fish Changsheng had used earlier.
Demon Technique: Ink Carp Sunken Ship!
The Ink Carp created a towering wave, its posture unyielding. It charged towards the Fiery Sea Serpent, enduring the Piercing Sea Flame.
However, compared to the Dragon Carp Sect's Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat, the Ink Carp Sunken Ship's flying speed was relatively slow.
The fundamental reason for this difference lay in the techniques' focuses.
While the Dragon Carp Heavenly Boat also had some defensive capabilities, it was primarily an offensive technique.
The Heavenly Boat's flying speed was faster, and its impact was more powerful.
On the other hand, the Ink Carp Sunken Ship was a defensive technique.
Its slower movement and heavier build provided incredible defense!
"The Ink Carp is using a defensive technique instead of a River Realm Ultimate Skill. This is a sign of peace." Fish Changsheng immediately ordered, "Jing Hong, Battle Horn! Go all out!"
"Yes!"
Jing Hong stepped forward, summoning an ancient and rustic beast-tooth horn.
"Wuuuu~"
Jing Hong stood tall, her disheveled short hair dancing in the sea breeze.
This time, the horn's sound was not low and deep but high and clear!
The penetrating voice echoed towards the sea.
Battle Horn Divine Technique: Charge Horn!
When the Charge Horn sounded, its effect was no less impressive than the charge horn blown by the Daxia Battalion during their counter-offensive against the Japanese invaders in the last century!
The soldiers' fighting spirit soared with this unique sound.
Their hearts raced with courage and determination.
"Wuuuu~"
Amidst the inspiring horn, a dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth!
"Roar!!!"
The Fiery Sea Serpent roared, its body engulfed in flames.
Deng Yuxiang's voice was firm, suppressing her desire to fight, "Mr. Zong Long, great strategy!"
The flames on the Fiery Sea Serpent were no ordinary fire.
Many of its Demon Techniques included the character "serpent" in their names.
Only one technique bore the character "dragon."
Demon Art: Dragon Flame Body!
Once activated, the Fiery Sea Serpent's offensive capabilities would significantly increase.
Similar to the Heavenblaze Divine Hammer, this technique's drawback was also fatal: it couldn't be interrupted once initiated.
It would continue until exhaustion!
This meant that regardless of the outcome of this epic battle, Lu Ran was guaranteed to obtain the Sea Realm Fiery Sea Serpent's soul.
But would the Fiery Sea Serpent remain still, waiting for its energy to deplete and its body to collapse?
Before that, wouldn't it slaughter every living being in this realm?
The dragon's roar shook the heavens and earth.
Beneath the rolling black clouds, the colossal serpent blazed fiercely, its power overwhelming.
In the vastness between the sea and sky,
A serpent and a carp drew ever closer.
