A battle raged on the surface of the North Sea. With the arrival of the West Sea Dragon King, they were instantly plunged into a desperate situation.

Gu Cheng killed a dragon soldier with a single blow, but when he turned around, he saw that Murong Jianqiu was in grave danger under the siege of several dragon soldiers.

Without a second thought, Gu Cheng turned around and charged towards Murong Jianqiu.

Compared to the others, the Longevity Technique within him was inexhaustible, and the Heavenly Demon Technique had an even longer and more enduring aura.

Even after a fierce battle, his strength had not been greatly diminished.

However, while he was in such a state, the others were not as well off as him, and were already exhausted.

After reuniting with Gu Cheng, Murong Jianqiu's breathing became somewhat disordered, and he couldn't help but worry, "Gu Cheng, this won't do. The West Sea Dragon King hasn't made a move yet."

"I know!" Gu Cheng nodded slightly, but his heart sank at the same time.

I never expected that the West Sea Dragon Clan would appear here.

The dragons, who have always been proud, have actually united.

This completely disrupted all his plans.

After glancing around again, Gu Cheng immediately transmitted his voice to the others, saying, "Everyone, move closer to me immediately and follow my instructions!"

The others, upon hearing this, were puzzled as to what Gu Cheng was planning to do.
However, out of trust in Gu Cheng, everyone chose to obey.

They exchanged a glance, then immediately broke through the attacking dragon soldiers and quickly approached Gu Cheng.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ao Li, the Dragon King of the West Sea who had been watching the battle, finally smiled.

He knew that these people were already afraid.

The opportunity to make a call that I had been waiting for finally arrived.

"Struggling is useless; leave them all here."

With a sinister smile, Ao Li slashed down with his claw in mid-air.

In an instant, the enormous dragon claw, accompanied by a powerful wind that tore through the sea, directly enveloped the spot where Gu Cheng and his companions were standing.

The Western Sea Dragon Soldiers, who had been circling around, seized the opportunity to encircle them.

In an instant, layers of dragon breath and ice arrows sealed off all escape routes.

Even the air itself was suffocated by the heavy dragon's might.

"Boom!"

Qiu Ninglu was jolted by the aftershocks, staggering and coughing up blood, her demonic blade flashing in her hand.

Murong Jianqiu's tiger's mouth split open, and his long sword hummed incessantly.

Xie Yunliu and Cheng Suling retreated together, their spiritual energy surging chaotically within them. They could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Kong Zhaoling's vertical eye between her brows dimmed, and the seven-colored divine light completely dissipated.

In an instant, the five people's injuries were aggravated by the shock, and they were forced to a small, narrow area on the sea.

They were surrounded by relentless dragon soldiers and were now in dire straits.

Ao Li walked slowly across the waves, his dragon eyes looking down indifferently.

He raised his hand and activated his supernatural power again, and the entire nearshore seawater suddenly rose, transforming into a ring-shaped water prison that slowly closed in.

The increasingly tight water pressure relentlessly eroded the protective aura around them, leaving their spiritual power nearly exhausted, making even dodging increasingly difficult.

Qiu Ninglu gritted her teeth and tried to unleash her demonic power, but Gu Cheng stopped her with a raised hand.

Gu Cheng remained calm, suppressing the surging blood within him.

With a thought, a crimson treasure appeared out of thin air in his arms; it was the Nine-Fire Divine Dragon Cover, a supreme treasure he had taken from the Dragon Palace of the West Sea.

As soon as the Nine Fire Gods appeared, crimson flames shot into the sky.

Nine ferocious fire dragons coiled and circled around him, their raging divine fire burning away the seawater rushing towards him, and the intense heat forcefully repelling the surrounding dragon soldiers.

"Human, you're asking for death!"

Ao Li stood in mid-air, gazing at his lost treasure, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty. At this moment, his anger surged, and the seawater around him churned violently with his rage.

Gu Cheng raised his hand and activated all his remaining spiritual power. The Divine Dragon Shield expanded instantly, and the crimson barrier steadily enveloped the five people around him.

The divine fire that scorched everything flowed around the outer wall of the barrier. When the water prison touched the divine fire, it evaporated into a sky full of white mist, and Ao Li's newly formed supernatural power melted away in an instant.

Gu Cheng stood within the divine fire barrier, his gaze coldly fixed on the giant dragon in mid-air.

Those trapped inside the shroud breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves easing slightly.

Everyone took turns resting and recuperating, trying to recover their depleted spiritual energy.

"Hmph, putting up a stubborn resistance!"

Seeing the few humans protected by the Nine Fire Gods, the West Sea Dragon King's expression darkened.

This was the most prized treasure of his West Sea Dragon Palace, and now it had fallen into the hands of a human, who was even using it against him.

This was an absolute disgrace to him.

But shame needs to be washed away with blood!
Ao Li raised his head and let out a furious dragon roar, the sound waves crashing and exploding in all directions along with the vast ocean.

In an instant, he continuously drew away the seawater, which gathered in the sky to form boundless deep blue water clouds.

"I'd like to see how long this treasure can protect you!"

He no longer relied on his dragon soldiers to wear him down, and poured all his power into his own.

At the same time, thick water spears kept falling from the water clouds, densely packed like a torrential rain, frantically bombarding the surface of the divine fire barrier.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The dense water spears collided repeatedly with the divine fire shield, producing a series of impact sounds.

Under the continuous heavy blows, the crimson barrier light curtain rippled with fine waves, and the divine fire's flames visibly weakened slowly.

Inside the barrier, the people who were meditating were all jolted awake.

Murong Jianqiu was the first to open his eyes, his brows furrowed as he said:

"Although the Nine Fire Gods' shroud is strong, if this drags on for too long, the barrier will eventually be breached."

Qiu Ninglu wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and the thin demonic energy around her gathered again. She said in a deep voice, "When the barrier can no longer hold, I will rush out and cut a way out."

Gu Cheng focused his mind on controlling the flow of spiritual energy from the treasure, and the Longevity Technique continuously generated spiritual energy to replenish the divine fire's consumption.

However, Ao Li's cultivation level remained firmly above the fifth level of the Returning Immortal realm, and he continuously unleashed various supernatural abilities, causing his own consumption rate to continue to rise rapidly.

If things continue like this, even though we have some powerful weapons, we won't be able to hold out for long.

High in the air, Ao Li, seeing that he could not break through the divine fire shield for a long time, simply opened his dragon mouth.

He spat out a shimmering blue pearl, which, upon falling into the water, stirred up ocean currents that stretched for thousands of miles around.

"Four Seas Tide Condensation Technique!"

The seawater in the entire area frantically converged and compressed towards the barrier, transforming into an incomparably heavy pressure that pressed down on the Divine Fire Cover from above.

The divine fire on the outer wall of the barrier was suppressed by the giant tide, and the firelight flickered.

The nine fire dragons roared repeatedly, and the phantom images of two of them gradually faded, on the verge of dissipating.

Gu Cheng gritted his teeth and exerted all his strength to activate the Heavenly Demon Technique, pouring all the Yin and Yang energies in his body into the Nine Fire Gods.

The crimson barrier surged again, barely withstanding the immense pressure from the vast ocean.

He looked up and stared directly at the enraged Ao Li, his voice defiant: "If you want to take back the treasure, then break the divine fire first."

Hearing Gu Cheng's deliberate provocation, Ao Li's killing intent intensified.

"I will crush this barrier alive, capture you all, extract your souls and refine your spirits, and then personally retrieve my Western Sea treasure!"

The thousands of Western Sea Dragon Soldiers surrounded the area without attacking, forming layers on the sea surface to block all escape routes.

They were just waiting for the barrier to shatter so they could swarm in and reap the lives of all humans. (End of Chapter)
