Chapter 736: Meditation Monk and Ice Summit Supreme Elder. A Savage Beast's Roar, the Great Power's
Chapter 736: Meditation Monk and Ice Summit Supreme Elder. A Savage Beast's Roar, the Great Power's Intervention
"What are you trying to do!"
A loud shout suddenly rang out.
Just as the Nascent Soul True Men on the Sword Lance Ship discovered the grand battle in the Blue Ice Sea, the demon beast troop that had been following them from behind quickly rushed in from the side, blocking their path.
Several powerful demons stared at the thousands of cultivators on the ship with predatory eyes, ready to strike at the slightest provocation.
Five incarnated demon cultivators stood at the forefront of the demon group, coldly eyeing the Sword Lance Ship.
Hearing the rebuke from the human Nascent Soul cultivator, an emaciated old man with a bald head, like a monk, stepped forward from among the five demon cultivators.
He wore a string of prayer beads made from human skulls, and his hands were clasped together in front of him, his expression filled with pity for the crowd.
"Everyone, this is as close as you can get to spectate the battle. What lies ahead is our clan's war, so please refrain from interfering, or else... Amitabha, I don't wish to create unnecessary bloodshed."
As he spoke, a formidable aura rose from his frail body, enveloping the Sword Lance Ship.
A late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator!
The crowd on the Sword Lance Ship was shocked.
Fu Chaosheng's face darkened, "Meditation Monk, are you Elder Kong Chan?"
Kong Chan looked at Fu Chaosheng in surprise, "I didn't expect to know someone here who recognizes me. In that case, since you know my name, you should also know my style. It's best not to act rashly."
Fu Chaosheng said coldly, "If we insist on going forward without detouring, will you really dare to stop us?"
Kong Chan was stunned, his expression stiffening.
"Forget it! We won't interfere with the war in the Blue Ice Sea, but I hope that after this, you'll leave quickly and stop pestering us. Kong Chan, what do you think?" Fu Chaosheng waved his hand, staring at the emaciated bald old man.
Kong Chan's stiff expression softened, and his wrinkled old face looked around before nodding slightly.
"This place is not far from Sun Moon Island, and our task can be considered complete. I don't wish to force you to cross over either."
After a show of strength, both sides took a step back.
The Sword Lance Ship and the demon beast troop led by the late-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator temporarily reached a stalemate outside the Blue Ice Sea.
Both sides kept an eye on the Ice Summit Sect's battle while privately discussing among themselves.
"Demon Monk Kong Chan's original form is a rare Meditation Monk from the Northern Sea. He is born with a bald head and long beard, with six legs on the ground. Before his incarnation, his speech sounded like chanting sutras, hence the name Meditation Monk."
"Demon Monk Kong Chan is an outstanding member of the Meditation Monk clan. He rose to prominence during the Ancient Human-Demon War. Now, three thousand years later, not only has he not died of old age, but he has also cultivated to the late-stage Nascent Soul level, making him a formidable opponent."
"If it's not necessary, it's best not to provoke him."
No one expected that the demon beast sent by the Demon Alliance to monitor Divine Essence City would be a powerful demon cultivator who became famous during ancient times.
With him blocking the way, the Sword Lance Ship had no way to intervene in the Ice Summit Sect's battle.
On the demon beast's side, Kong Chan fiddled with the bizarre human skull prayer beads in his hand, his expression calm.
Behind him, four incarnated demon cultivators with extraordinary auras looked at him in confusion.
"With your strength, you alone are enough to suppress all the cultivators on the Sword Lance Ship. Why be so polite?"
Kong Chan spoke in a deep voice, "These people are not to be feared, but the flag on their ship is that of the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect. Do you think I'm powerful, or is the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect formidable?"
Everyone was taken aback.
One of them, filled with indignation, spoke up, "So what if it's the Dao Sect? The Demon Sect was also destroyed by us two hundred years ago. Now, with the Northern Sea in sight, once we reclaim our old territory, we can restore the glory of the ancient demon race. At that time, why should we fear the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect!"
This statement immediately drew a chorus of agreement.
Kong Chan smiled and shook his head, his fingers moving the prayer beads faster.
"You also said that it's a matter of time. But isn't it still not that time yet? Moreover, you haven't experienced the Ancient Human-Demon War and don't know the infamy of the Holy Land. It's not that easy to provoke."
The demons looked at each other, feeling a bit absurd.
Indeed, the Holy Land was very powerful. During the attack on the Primordial Demon Sect, they suffered heavy losses.
Even after two hundred years of recovery while the Arctic Nyamna Heaven was sealed, they hadn't regained even half of their peak strength.
But in the end, the Primordial Demon Sect was defeated by them!
As for the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect, with the same name, how strong could they be? But when they thought of Demon Monk Kong Chan's reverence and Fu Chaosheng, who was only at the early Nascent Soul stage but dared to boast in front of them under the Holy Land's name, both sides' attitudes seemed to explain everything.
The reputation of the Dao Sect was such that even Kong Chan at the late Nascent Soul stage didn't dare to act rashly, only able to convey his message through words.
"Sigh, I hope the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect abides by their internal agreement with the human race and doesn't interfere in the affairs of the Central State, giving us demons of the Northern Sea enough time!"
Kong Chan's brows furrowed as he fiddled with the beads, his expression filled with pity.
Everyone understood. No wonder they were ordered not to attack Divine Essence City, and no wonder the two ancient demons above told them not to provoke the Heavenly Yuan Dao Sect easily.
To avoid provoking the Dao Sect and prevent them from sending troops to the Northern Sea,
Giving the Northern Sea demons more time to reclaim their old territory and establish a true demon race Holy Land!
Among the five demon cultivators, a handsome man with an extraordinary demeanor glared at the figure on a tall building of the Sword Lance Ship.
"Consider yourself lucky!"
...
Luo Chen leaned against the railing, with Black King lying on his shoulder.
"Master, the Sea Serpent Emperor Liu Jun is also ahead, and he seems to have sensed my presence."
Luo Chen's expression remained calm, "He didn't just sense your presence, he also recognized me."
Black King was astonished, wondering how his master could be so easily recognized.
Luo Chen didn't offer any explanation.
Within the withering true fire, the faint blue flame that originated from the Sea Serpent Emperor Liu Jun still hadn't been extinguished.
It wasn't that it couldn't be extinguished, but rather, Luo Chen didn't want to.
Luo Chen kept the flame, wanting to study why that fire could specifically target the Savage Beasts' physical bodies.
If he figured it out, he could make up for one of his potential weaknesses.
Now, with such close proximity and Black King, who had once revealed his true body during the Fiery Prison Battle, if the Sea Serpent Emperor Liu Jun couldn't recognize him, he would be unworthy of being a generation's Demon Emperor.
"No need to pay him any mind. They wouldn't dare to lay a hand on the Sword Lance Ship. Moreover, even if a fight breaks out, as long as I don't face that Demon Monk, it's uncertain who will prevail between me and the Sea Serpent Emperor."
Although Luo Chen said it was uncertain, his face showed no fear.
Even at the Golden Core realm, he wasn't afraid of the Sea Serpent Emperor Liu Jun.
Now, having reached the Nascent Soul realm, his abilities were even more formidable than before. Even in the vast ocean, he had the confidence to fight and win!
At this moment, his gaze was deep, and his divine sense permeated the area.
Using both his divine sense and spiritual eyes, he carefully observed the intense battle in the Blue Ice Sea.
This was also his first time witnessing a top-tier Nascent Soul Upper Sect clash with the Northern Sea Demon Alliance.
It was clear that this battle had been going on for a long time, at least ten days or half a month.
The vast ocean was covered in solid ice, and the corpses of human cultivators and demon beasts could be seen everywhere.
The Ice Soul Spirit Mountain, formed by countless ten-thousand-year-old ice, was stained red with blood, and the Mountain Defense Array was on the verge of collapse.
According to Luo Chen's perception, the number of Nascent Soul-level combatants involved was no less than a dozen.
The two sides had been evenly matched until the appearance of the Ghost Immortal Tower.
"It's him again!"
Luo Chen muttered, and his heart stirred with emotion.
The white ice, with the Ice Summit Sect's Spirit Mountain at its center, stretched for tens of thousands of miles.
Beneath the ice, the seawater flowed gently, creating a vast expanse of blue.
The intertwining of ice and water formed the so-called "Blue Ice Sea."
Even the previous human-demon war hadn't caused this Blue Ice Sea to collapse.
But with the appearance of that monster, which resembled a red tower, everything changed.
Wherever the Ghost Immortal Tower's feet touched, the ice shattered, and the ocean roiled.
Countless tentacles of the Giant Squid King spread out behind it like hair.
As it ran, corpses on the battlefield were picked up by the squid's tentacles and devoured, and invisible dark auras gathered towards it, forming layer upon layer of phantom illusions.
"It seems he's even stronger than when he was in the Sunken Sea?"
Luo Chen felt a sense of enlightenment.
He wasn't sure if it was because his realm was higher, allowing him to better recognize the Ghost Immortal Tower's strength, or if the Ghost Immortal Tower had truly become stronger.
At this moment, in Luo Chen's perception, the Ghost Immortal Tower seemed to have a subtle connection with the heavens and earth.
The ice melted for it, the ocean roared in response, and even the sky darkened with its appearance.
An Ice Summit Sect Nascent Soul True Man took action to try and stop its advance towards the Spirit Mountain.
But when faced with flying swords, the Ghost Immortal Tower didn't dodge or evade, instead charging straight through.
Whoosh!
The flying swords missed their target.
This scene left everyone astonished.
Luo Chen seemed to be deep in thought, "Those phantom illusions surrounding the Ghost Immortal Tower can even affect the divine sense of Nascent Soul True Men, causing their attacks to miss?"
The Ice Summit Sect's Nascent Soul True Men weren't fools; they soon realized this and stopped using single flying swords for attacks, instead releasing large-scale attacks.
But the Ghost Immortal Tower ignored these attacks, allowing them to strike its body.
All attacks seemed to be like a bull entering the sea, causing no harm.
Could it be that the Ghost Immortal Tower had a Savage Beast's body that could absorb damage?
Luo Chen had another realization.
Then he realized it wasn't just his imagination; the Ghost Immortal Tower had indeed become stronger.
It seemed to have reached a level very close to the fifth tier, which was why it could summon a response from the heavens.
"If no one stops him, at this rate, the Ghost Immortal Tower will surely reach the Ice Summit Sect's mountain gate."
As this thought appeared, a roar came from the ten-thousand-year-old ice mountain.
"Fiendish beast, get out of here!"
A powerful divine sense suddenly erupted.
In the distance, a small black dot flew up from the ice mountain, and with a flick of his finger, an unimaginable beam of light burst forth and landed on the Ghost Immortal Tower in an instant.
Sizzle!
A hole the size of a millstone pierced through the Ghost Immortal Tower's massive head.
With just one strike, the Savage Beast Ghost Immortal Tower was killed!
"Is this the Ice Summit Sect's Supreme Elder Jiehan Zi?" Luo Chen's heart trembled, and with that seemingly ordinary finger, his entire body felt chilled.
It was clear that even with his current physique, comparable to a mid-stage Savage Beast, he wouldn't be able to withstand that finger.
The Empress Great Cultivator was truly terrifying!
However, Luo Chen could also see that after using that move, Jiehan Zi's power had significantly declined.
"That move must have taken a toll on him as well!"
Luo Chen thought, but the next moment, he realized something.
"No, that's not right!"
Beneath the ice mountain, the Ghost Immortal Tower, with its head pierced, still stood in the ocean, its nearly thousand-foot-tall body unyielding.
Suddenly!
His body moved again, surging with unstoppable momentum, soaring into the sky and roaring towards the sky where Jiehan Zi was located.
The thunderous sound shook the cultivators, causing their divine souls to tremble.
This was still what Luo Chen felt from a great distance.
On the battlefield near the Ice Summit Sect, within a thousand li, those who heard the roar bled from their seven orifices and died, even the demon beasts were no exception.
Only a few Demon Cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage were prepared and unaffected.
The rest, including the Nascent Soul True Men of the Ice Summit Sect, after hearing that roar, had a dazed expression, and their bodies fell uncontrollably to the ground.
Jiehan Zi, located at the center of the Ghost Immortal Tower's roar, was affected the most.
Although he was still in the air and didn't fall, he was dazed and confused, unaware of the severity of the damage to his divine soul.
Even the giant hand extended by the Ghost Immortal Tower was ignored by him.
Crack!
Crack!
Light screens responded, blocking the attacks unleashed by the Ghost Immortal Tower, but wherever the giant hand passed, the array's light screens shattered.
"Ugh..."
When Jiehan Zi woke up, he saw a slowly retracting giant hand and a slightly opened blood basin-sized mouth.
His face was filled with terror, as if he hadn't expected this outcome at all.
Clusters of spirit light burst from his body, and several powerful true artifacts spewed out, slicing through the giant hand.
However, the Ghost Immortal Tower ignored this, opening its mouth and swallowing Jiehan Zi whole.
After a few chews, miserable screams came from its mouth.
This scene was extremely chilling.
A late-stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivator ended up with such a tragic fate?
Boom! The shattered head of the Ghost Immortal Tower exploded into a cloud of blood mist, and a Nascent Soul frantically escaped.
Luo Chen, seeing this, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
At least there was some resistance.
However, it seemed that the Ghost Immortal Tower's divine soul core wasn't in its head.
Even with its brain constantly damaged, its actions remained unaffected.
Upon seeing the Nascent Soul escape, it instinctively reached out to grab it again.
Jiehan Zi's face was filled with resentment. He crushed a golden talisman with his bare hands.
"Li Canghai, save me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the world became still.
In the sky, a huge vortex appeared, and a figure slowly stepped out within it.
It was a figure with a blurred face, hidden amidst countless wind and cloud patterns.
He looked down, reached out, and Li Canghai's Nascent Soul fell into his hand.
At this moment, the Ghost Immortal Tower trembled and forcefully broke free from the world's restraints.
It raised its head and roared furiously at that person.
Just like the previous roar, it echoed again.
However, this time, it was like a gentle breeze, having no effect on that person.
A Demon Cultivator among them realized something and shouted, "Senior Li, you have an agreement with our clan leader. You must not interfere in battles below the Soul Transformation stage!"
The blurred figure remained unmoved and didn't make any moves. He only released a small seal with a blurred pattern of mountains, rivers, and seas.
As soon as the small seal appeared, the world fell silent.
The next moment, a loud rumbling sound came from the center of the battlefield.
To everyone's astonishment, the Ice Soul Spirit Mountain, which had stood tall for countless years, broke through the sea and rose into the sky, disappearing into the small seal.
With the integration of this mountain, the blurred pattern on the small seal seemed to become a bit clearer.
"The Blue Ice Sea, it's yours now."
This was the only sentence he spoke.
After speaking, the figure turned around and disappeared into the vortex.
From start to finish, aside from the Ghost Immortal Tower attracting his attention, nothing else caught his divine eye.
He came, saved one person, took a mountain, and that was it.
At this moment, the terrifying aura that had enveloped the area for tens of thousands of li finally dissipated.
On the Blue Ice Sea, only the furious roars of the Ghost Immortal Tower continued.
Outside the sea, Kong Chan, the Demon Monk, lowered his head, his body trembling.
After a while, he raised his head, forcing a smile.
"Congratulations to our clan for gaining another territory."
The crowd opened their mouths, unsure of what to say.
With the Ghost Immortal Tower leading the way, it wasn't surprising that they took over the Blue Ice Sea.
However, the Ice Soul Spirit Mountain of the Ice Summit Sect had been taken away, and the main vein of the large fourth-grade spirit vein in this area had been removed.
What was the point of conquering this territory now?
On the Sword Lance Ship, the cultivators looked at each other, seemingly not expecting the outcome to be like this.
The fate of the Ice Summit Sect was sealed the moment the Ghost Immortal Tower appeared.
After all, in the Northern Sea today, the Ghost Immortal Tower was known as the existence closest to the Soul Transformation stage. Although Jiehan Zi's all-out attack severely injured it, it was of no use.
However, the appearance of the powerhouse Li Canghai brought some uncertainty to the outcome.
To everyone's disappointment, he didn't take action against the local demon beasts; he merely saved Jiehan Zi's Nascent Soul and took away the Ice Summit Sect's spirit mountain.
Was it because of that so-called Soul Transformation agreement? No one knew.
Only Fu Chaosheng's face was complex as he gazed into the distance and then withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go!"
The Sword Lance Ship set sail again.
This time, no demon beasts followed.
In the secret room on the fifth floor of Kunxiao Palace, Luo Chen recalled the scene of the Ice Soul Spirit Mountain being taken away, his expression filled with doubt and astonishment.
"Was that the Linked Island Formation Technique?"
