Douluo: From Rusted Spear to Emperor-Slaying Spear

Chapter 182 Accidentally Entering an Alternative Space
As for the Three Rivers Sky-Piercing Python, it suffered an even more undeserved calamity. Originally located in the western part of the continent, near the North Sea, the Three Rivers region was affected by the poisonous water, and most of the land-based soul beasts there fled to other places.
The Three Rivers Basin is inherently a poisonous land, and the escaped soul beasts are mostly low-level ones. The Heavenly Python clan, however, specializes in poisons and is the most venomous snake-type soul beast besides Medusa, the queen of snakes.

They craved toxins, which were also key to their rapid cultivation. Therefore, when the poisonous waters of the Chaotic Star Sea drifted to the mouth of the Three Rivers, the entire Sky-Piercing Python clan gathered there, absorbing the toxins to aid their cultivation.

The 10-year-old Three Rivers Heavenly Python praised the venomous water highly, but unfortunately, the venom was both its strength and its weakness.
Apart from the 100,000-year-old Three Rivers Heavenly Python and several Heavenly Python Soul Beasts that were 80,000 to 90,000 years old, the other Heavenly Pythons with lower cultivation levels were all affected by the poison and fell into a mysterious and extremely drowsy state.

Therefore, the three ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts gathered together to search for and hunt down Ji Wuming. They hadn't expected him to be staying in the inland areas, where most human soul masters were.

They actually dared to come to the sea to hunt soul beasts, and specifically, to hunt that weakest yet extremely domineering 10-year-old evil whale!
That would be their best chance to kill Ji Wuming and avenge their fallen clansmen.

At this moment, seeing the 100,000-year-old soul beasts gradually approaching from three directions, Ji Wuming quickly stored the corpse of the Demonic Tiger Whale King into his soul tool.

"Senior Hailong, let's split up. Please escort them back to Seagod Island first, and I'll distract them."

"You? That's impossible?"

At this moment, Hailong's face showed disbelief. Around them were three 10-year-old soul beasts, and he had only heard the Grand Elder speak of these beasts before. They were all absolute overlords of a vast sea, and their individual strength surpassed even that of the Demonic Orca King.

Even if the seven Grand Masters joined forces, they could only guarantee that they would not be defeated within 50 rounds when facing three at the same time. Ji Wuming even dared to use himself to attract them in order to help others escape from this place.

Although he has some ability, his audacity is simply too much!

Hailong said worriedly, "Young Wuming, the High Priest oversees everything in the ocean. She already knows about this crisis and will definitely come to save us, so there's no need to put ourselves in danger."

Ji Wuming was someone the Sea God had his eye on. Although Hailong wanted Ji Wuming to die so that the offering would not fall into the tragedy of dying as a final sacrifice, he couldn't bear to let him be killed. After all, he was a rare soul master who was very much to Haimao's liking.

Just as the three women were about to persuade Ji Wuming to escape with them, it was too late; three 100,000-year-old soul beasts were already upon them.
"There's no time to explain. Even if the Grand Elder were here, he couldn't face three 10-year-old soul beasts at the same time. They've come to seek revenge on me. Only by separating from you can I guarantee your safety."

"But I have my own way of escaping."

Before Dugu Yan could finish speaking, Ji Wuming quickly mounted the Fierce Biting Dragon Shark and sped off towards the west.

Having not yet consumed much of the Demon Orca King's meat, and having just become a ten-thousand-year-old creature with some intelligence, the Fierce Biting Dragon Shark glared hatefully at Ji Wuming sitting on its back.
Why should it be assigned such a dangerous task? Wouldn't that just draw half the hatred of those ferocious soul beasts to its own head?
Despite its resentment, it continued to frantically flap its tail and swim rapidly forward.
As Ji Wuming adjusted his direction and fled, the three 10-year-old soul beasts also changed their pursuit route and rushed towards Ji Wuming. As for Shui Bing'er and the others, with the help of the sea dragon, they landed on a small island in advance and successfully avoided the attack of the three 10-year-old soul beasts.

At this very moment, Ji Wuming, who was riding the Fierce Biting Dragon Shark and fleeing at high speed, kept glancing back to keep track of the distance between himself and the three 10-year-old soul beasts.
However, at that very moment, the Flowing Flame Crimson Dragon, which was originally located in the south and was accompanied by huge waves, suddenly took flight 1.5 miles away from him in the blink of an eye. Its speed was even twice that of swimming in the sea.

"Oh no!" Ji Wuming's worst fears came true. He immediately patted the back of the Fierce Biting Dragon Shark to make it swim forward.

"You ignorant human, today we will wipe you out completely to solve the problem of the destruction of my homeland and the continuous death of my people."

As soon as the Crimson Flame Dragon finished speaking, the three soul beasts unleashed their skills towards Ji Wuming, who was not far ahead. A pillar of fire, seemingly reaching the heavens, shot into the sky and hurtled towards Ji Wuming.

The Three Rivers Sky-Piercing Python was equally formidable, unleashing a venomous, high-speed black ray that followed closely behind, heading straight for Ji Wuming.
Because the Nine-Heavenly Dragon Centipede wasn't very good at swimming, its speed gradually became the slowest of the three. However, it used a tornado made of sea sand to block its path.

Seeing this, Ji Wuming controlled the Fierce Biting Shark to dive into the seabed, using the resistance of the water to completely dismantle the offensive soul skills of the three 10-year-old soul beasts.

Within a 100-meter underwater area, it rapidly swam towards the only escape route, the western lands.

"Trying to run? How could I let you get away like that?"

The Three Rivers Sky Python, the only creature that maintains its speed advantage in water, dives into the sea, giving chase while continuously releasing its venomous gas. If even a tiny bit of this gas touches a human in its path...
Then he would no longer be able to escape the pursuit of the Three Rivers Heavenly Python.

But at the most crucial moment, Ji Wuming, who was 100 meters underwater and fiercely biting the dragon shark's back, suddenly teleported and disappeared.

Meanwhile, the Fierce Biting Dragon Shark, realizing that its back was much lighter, used its agile and small body to quickly escape some of the Three Rivers Heavenly Python's small attacks.

At this moment, Ji Wuming suddenly appeared 300 meters away, leaving even the Three Rivers Heavenly Python, which had been relentlessly pursuing him, somewhat bewildered.
However, it, along with the Nine Heavens Centipede and the Flowing Flame Crimson Dragon, didn't care about these things. They only had one goal: to kill the human in front of them, even if he was as slippery as an eel.

At this moment, every time Ji Wuming was about to catch up with the three 10-year-old soul beasts launching their skills at him, he would quickly use his teleportation skill to escape danger once again.

This cycle repeated itself repeatedly, and with each frequent teleportation, a sliver of space in the ocean was disrupted, until after no fewer than 200 teleportations...

Just as Ji Wuming's soul power was about to be exhausted, the space directly in front of him distorted, and then a black hole appeared in front of him.

Because the teleportation was happening so frequently, before Ji Wuming could even react and stop, he had already teleported into it. At that moment, the Fierce Biting Shark, which had just run away and was being chased by other soul beasts, was also caught up in it on its way back.

When the three 10-year-old soul beasts tried to enter, the black vortex quickly closed, and they missed their target.
