Tianhai Fairy Journey

Chapter 1496 Awakening
A vast, dark, and filthy power, along with a pale golden torrent, surrounded a huge island from the left and right.

Looking down, the island's layout is extremely simple, with two lakes situated within it. The black lake connects to the dark and filthy ocean currents outside, while the pale gold lake connects to the other positive ocean current. Each of the two lakes gathers the vast and boundless power of the two ocean currents.

In the center of the two lakes stands a colossal peak covered with ancient black and gold patterns.

"It seems this is a technique left behind by a powerful half-demon!"

Gazing at that majestic peak, Guan Ming instantly felt an immense, ancient pressure.

The so-called Yin-Yang Sea Spirit Power is a product of the power of this giant peak. It forcibly reverses Yin and Yang, fusing two completely different powers together. This alone is enough to prove that the half-demon race once had a glorious past.

At the same time, He Yang had already descended towards that majestic spiritual peak.

hum!hum!hum!
The once silent island seemed to come back to life, and the majestic black-gold-patterned peak slowly lit up as well.

Seeing this, He Yang also looked surprised.

He felt as if this former ancestral land of the half-demon race was sentient, welcoming his arrival.

An unseen force descended upon Heyang.

At the same time, the spirit pool at the bottom of the giant peak began to boil, and streams of Yin-Yang Sea Spirit Power, which perfectly blended black and golden light, automatically covered He Yang.

"Could it be that my junior brother is destined to be the leader of the half-demon race?!"

A hint of surprise appeared in Guan Ming's eyes.

Having cultivated the ways of the witch clan, his understanding of heaven and earth and all things far surpasses that of cultivators.

He naturally understood the profound meaning of the saying that all things have a spirit.

Even a piece of land or a lake will develop its own spiritual essence over the years.

This place was once the ancestral land of half-demons, receiving the worship of countless half-demons. It was also a place where the fortune of the half-demon race gathered, so it naturally had its own spirituality.

call!call!
The entire island's interior was boiling over, and booming sounds emanated from the depths of the ancient, towering peak. Vast and boundless light burst forth, rushing madly toward Heyang, as if the entire ancestral land of the half-demon was about to channel all its accumulated power toward Heyang.

He Yang sensed everything around him with a blank expression.

He felt his entire body merge with this world, and various forces continuously flowed into his body. It was not a single force, neither demonic nor magical, but it seemed to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth, constantly enhancing his physical level.

The bloodline of the auspicious Yanghe beast, which was originally hidden within its body, flowed out automatically, and with the aid of that power, it grew rapidly.

Looking at his junior brother's figure, who had automatically entered a meditative state in the air, Guan Ming smiled.

Even their master probably never imagined that his junior brother was the born leader of a half-demon race.

Perhaps, just as the lineage of auspicious beasts carries a certain destiny, this junior brother was born to lead the entire half-demon race to a new rise.

"In any case, my junior brother's matter is finally settled!"

Looking around at the world, Guan Ming showed no lingering attachment and quietly retreated.

With the support of the entire ancestral land of half-demons and the assistance of the Nine Heavens Demon Sea, my junior brother's future cultivation path will surely soar to new heights.

Now, it's time for him to start looking for his own opportunity.

"It seems my junior brother is destined to give our master a surprise upon his return, and I must also put in my best effort."

After leaving the ancestral land of half-demons.

A jade slip slowly emerged.

Before entering the Inner Star Sea, he had already collected information through the Daoyuan Chamber of Commerce about places in the Inner Star Sea where the ruins of the Witch Clan had appeared.

Now he must enter this ancient world alone and begin his own path of cultivation.

The young figure in black robes transformed into a black rainbow and soared into the sky.
-
The southern region of Dongxing Xuanhai.

The headquarters of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce, amidst the raging waves.

Beneath the vast expanse of sea shrouded in mist and clouds, rows of black demonic islands sit.

Meanwhile, inside the main hall deep within the central Demon Island.

The figures dressed in elegant black Taoist robes stood in two rows.

"Reporting to the Vice President!"

The elder at the head of the group, a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The four major branches have all begun establishing themselves in the Northern Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, and Central Region of the Eastern Star Profound Sea. A continuous stream of spiritual treasures from heaven and earth is being transferred to the four major branches. Before long, the four major branches will be able to develop rapidly."

Hei Shan Yunqi, who was sitting quietly at the head of the main hall, nodded: "Not bad!"

"Although the president is currently in seclusion, the expansion of our Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce cannot be halted. We must quickly establish ourselves in various realms and integrate with this vast ocean world!"

"However, you must remember that we are currently weak, and the four branch associations are too far from headquarters. We must develop in a low-key manner. If there is ever a time when we must take action, I will arrange for several Demon Lords to secretly go and handle the situation."

After making the necessary arrangements, Heishan Yunqi looked at another gaunt, middle-aged man in a black robe: "What is the current situation in the Northern Region?"

"Utter chaos!"

The gaunt middle-aged man's face was solemn: "Various ancient demonic sects are constantly emerging out of nowhere, and the entire cultivation world of the Northern Region is almost powerless to fight back. Meanwhile, the top power that is stationed in the Northern Region has not made any response. Judging from the current situation, that ancient top power will probably be forced to withdraw!"

For a moment, the core elders of all the chambers of commerce in the main hall were all shocked.

It should be noted that when the Ghost King Sect was first established, it only occupied a small area of ​​the sea. If the entire Northern Sea were to fall, it would definitely cause a shock to the world.

"Transfer some resources suitable for demonic cultivation to the Northern Region Branch, and arrange for more elders to be stationed there. Take this opportunity to absorb resources, spiritual objects, and opportunities from various demonic sects. If necessary, we can even choose to cooperate with a powerful demonic sect."

The core elders of the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Heishan Yunqi remained seated, his gaze fixed intently on the various jade slips laid out on the black jade table.

"The Northern Regions have fallen!"

"Doesn't that mean that the hidden demonic sect's foundation is even greater than that of the Ghost King Sect? Otherwise, how dare they covet the entire Northern Region!"

The next moment, Heishan Yunqi's eyes showed a deep look of confusion.

The key issue now is that, apart from the Northern Region, demonic cultivators have begun to appear in the Eastern Region, Western Region, and even the Southern Region where the Xuan Shi Chamber of Commerce headquarters is located.

Apart from the central sea area, which remained as stable as Mount Tai, the other four sea areas of the Eastern Star Profound Sea were in chaos.

"What exactly happened? Why are the major powers in the Central Sea region remaining completely silent and ignoring the chaos erupting in the four outer seas?!"

Normally, the four top powers stationed in the outer seas and the top powers in the central seas share a common destiny, and they cannot stand idly by and watch the northern region fall completely.

"Could it be that some uncontrollable force has intervened!"

Many thoughts flashed through Heishan Yunqi's mind.

"The guild leader once said that the unsealing of heaven and earth and the resurgence of demonic forces are an unstoppable trend of heaven and earth. In that case, it is likely that some ancient demonic sects hidden in the shadows may emerge at any time."

At this moment.

The token at his waist lit up quickly.

Heishan Yunqi's divine sense descended instantly.

"The source of chaos in the Northern Region is the Demon Devouring Sect. The forces behind the other three major sea regions have yet to reveal themselves."

The new source of information was none other than the vice leader of the Scattered Demon Alliance – Ghost Bitter Demon Lord.

In order to find out the truth behind this great change in the world, Heishan Yunqi had already secretly arranged for Gui Ku Mojun and others to go to the source of the chaos where demonic cultivators appeared to investigate the situation.

"Could it be?! Could it be that more than one peak-level demonic sect will emerge within the Eastern Star Profound Sea?"
-
Taiyuan Realm.

A corner of the South China Sea.

On a secluded, azure sea.

Two dark, demonic rainbows swiftly tore through the sky and disappeared into the depths of the sea.

"Still want to escape?"

A cold laugh rang out.

call!call!
The entire sea surface churned, and three giant waves surged across the surface like water dragons.

Looking down.

Three fourth-tier sea race powerhouses riding on Azure Scaled Sea Beasts rapidly approached the two fleeing black demonic lights.

"You dare to dream of ruling the Linan Sea? You're courting death! The entire Linan Sea will eventually return to the sphere of influence of our sea race!"

boom! boom!
The next moment, the three azure-scaled sea beasts simultaneously soared into the sky.

The leading Golden Horn Sea Clan expert suddenly swung his arm, and a thick, blue spear with a spiral pattern shot into the sky, quickly transforming into numerous spear phantoms, while simultaneously covering the two fleeing black demonic lights.

"Damn it!"

One of the sinister old men, a Nascent Soul Demon Lord, changed his expression drastically and quickly summoned a blood-patterned shield to block the attack from behind. Behind the other Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator, a large amount of dark demonic energy rapidly rose, condensing into a vortex.

After escaping the attack from behind, the two Nascent Soul cultivators showed no intention of stopping and continued to flee at an accelerated pace.

The three powerful sea race warriors pursuing them were all at the mid-stage of the fourth rank, while the other two were at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm and the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, respectively. Even if they joined forces, they would not be a match for the sea race.

"Still want to escape?"

A series of sinister laughs rang out.

But just as they were forced to stop, two other mid-stage fourth-tier sea race experts flanked them from the left and right.

boom! boom! boom!
Various dazzling lights shot into the sky, and a scream quickly followed amidst the booming sounds.

But all that could be seen was that the early Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator was pierced by the sharp rays of thousands of blue scales.

"No!"

Seeing the three powerful sea creatures regroup, the sinister old man in the black robe's eyes flashed with a crimson madness. His previously withered chest instantly split open, and streams of blood gushed out, burning fiercely like flames.

The crimson flames instantly converged and then burst open like fireworks. The black-robed elder transformed into a swift blood shadow and instantly broke through the encirclement.

"Chase!"

The leading sea race expert coldly shouted, "He can't hold out for long using those methods!"

The three powerful sea creatures unleashed their power once more and continued their pursuit.

Although the crimson phantom initially created a large distance, it slowed down as time passed, while the three powerful sea creatures chasing behind gradually closed in.

At this moment.

A bizarre scene unfolded in an instant.

But the blood-red phantom that should have been fleeing frantically suddenly stopped, then froze in mid-air as if frozen. Facing the three sea race powerhouses who were rapidly approaching, the blood-red phantom did not move an inch.

"what's the situation?"

The three powerful sea creatures were also surprised. There was clearly no obstacle in front of them, so why didn't that Nascent Soul demon cultivator hurry up and escape?

But when they got really close, they saw that the Nascent Soul demon cultivator's withered figure was trembling wildly, as if he had seen something terrifying, his eyes filled with despair and fear.

"That is!!"

The three powerful sea creatures followed the gaze of the Nascent Soul demon cultivator.

But all they could see was a massive, dark red, winding creature lying quietly on an ordinary island in the distance, which looked like a long mountain range.

call!call!
Before the three powerful sea creatures could react...

A vast, chaotic, and ancient killing intent instantly enveloped them. The enormous island shattered into pieces, and a massive, dark red creature, like an ancient ferocious beast, slowly revived, its enormous blood-red dragon head slowly rising.

"How can this be!"

"How could such a terrifying creature exist in this remote sea area?"

call!call!
Under that overwhelming, chaotic, and murderous pressure, both the mid-stage Nascent Soul demon cultivator and the three mid-stage fourth-tier sea race powerhouses seemed to have all their power instantly drained away, rendering them unable to move.

They couldn't even scream before being swallowed up by the torrents of blood.

at the same time.

Above an island deep in the sea.

call!call!
The once azure sky instantly turned pitch black, and an immense pressure poured down, like ten thousand peaks pressing down, causing the entire space to tremble and distort.

An unimaginable black torrent continuously converged in the air, transforming into a vast black sea that slowly rotated.

Boom! !

The entire world seemed to be being crushed bit by bit, constantly emitting a continuous, trembling sound.

Under such a turbulent and roaring force.

Only a young figure in a green robe, sitting cross-legged, floated quietly in the air, as if he had jumped out of this turbulent world and was unaffected.

The next moment, the young figure in the green robe slowly opened his eyes and gently reached out to point towards the sky.

All the roaring sounds in the world instantly ceased, and the immense pressure of the vast天地 (heaven and earth) dissipated in an instant.

The vast, black, heavy ocean contained all its power, as light as nothing, like a large black cloud silently floating.

A faint black light began to emanate from the entire world, permeating the heavens and earth.

Everything became heavy.

The Way of Heavy Water began to permeate every corner of the world. The turbulent sea was instantly smoothed, becoming as smooth as a mirror. The seemingly ordinary seawater was now infused with new power, as if it had been forged from heavy black iron.

On the vast, boundless blue sea.

A pale black world floated silently, seemingly empty, yet every ray of light was as heavy as a mountain peak.

call!call!
A gentle breeze was blowing.

The pale black world began to slowly dissipate.

A young figure in a green robe slowly appeared between heaven and earth.

Time flies!

Li Qing slowly looked around at the world.

Everything remained unchanged from before his seclusion, yet sixty years had quietly passed.

"Looking back, this has been my longest period of seclusion, but fortunately, I have gained something from it."
