Barely a cup of tea's time after the departure of the Red Fire King and the Heavenly Kills King, Zhang Ling burst out of the water. He glanced in the direction they had left, his brow furrowing slightly.
The fox phantom just now was clearly a sound transmission technique used by the Azure Fox King. It seems a great battle might be unfolding here. The Nascent Soul old monsters and these transformed demon kings who entered this place may have already clashed.
Zhang Ling pondered for a moment, not daring to linger in place. He flew towards the direction of the Nine Dragon Wall.
At his speed, it would take at least a day to fly there. But there was nothing he could do; this Azure Spirit Sea was already a place of contention. He didn't want to encounter any more demon kings or other Nascent Soul old monsters.
As Zhang Ling flew away, the Red Fire King and the Heavenly Kills King had already reached the central area of the Azure Spirit Sea.
The sky here was already dyed ink-black, dim and lightless. Thick, dark clouds churned, with lightning constantly striking down.
The sea surface was also churning with waves.
Even more strangely, currents of water continuously shot out of the sea, forming water spouts like tornadoes.
This was the case for thousands of miles around, and it was still spreading outwards.
The two demon kings, transformed into streaks of light, arrived in this area and flew directly towards an extremely large water spout.
This water spout was astonishing in its momentum, covering an area of a hundred miles wide, like a giant water column piercing the sky. Magically, this water spout, when it hit the sky, turned into rings of bizarre, wave-like black mist, constantly spreading outwards.
This formed a strange scene in the sky.
The area where the water spout hit the sky even showed colorful lights, like a rainbow-colored halo.
Beneath the colorful halo stood many streaks of light. These people were divided into two camps.
The Azure Fox King stood with a beautiful green-skirted female cultivator. As the Red Fire King and Heavenly Kills King arrived, the two demon kings instantly spotted them.
Behind the demon kings were five or six demon beasts of considerable strength, each with seventh-order power.
The other camp consisted of five human cultivators, led by a fat cultivator and a tall, thin man, who were none other than the Spirit Crane True Person and another from Myriad Manifestation City.
Beside them stood two men and one woman. One figure, shrouded in black robes, had an indiscernible face, but their aura was extremely alarming. It was the Ghost Tomb Daoist from the Spirit Ghost Sect. The other man and woman also had formidable auras, all Nascent Soul-level cultivators.
The arrival of the Red Fire King and the Heavenly Kills King made the expressions of these experts turn ugly. However, they only glared at each other and had no intention of taking action.
For a time, the Nascent Soul cultivators and demon kings maintained a confrontational stance, seemingly waiting for something.
The Red Fire King didn't wait long after arriving.
After a dozen or so breaths, the seven-colored halo in the sky continuously condensed into a huge colored light curtain, rapidly descending. It pressed down on the hundred-mile-wide water spout, constantly falling.
Rumbling sounds of water continued. As the water spout was pressed into the sea, the seawater stirred up waves thousands of feet high. Strangely, this huge wave froze in mid-air, forming a large water curtain.
Subsequently, a cloud of gray-yellow mist rose from the sea surface, centered on this hundreds-of-feet area.
The mist looked thin, but in an instant, it became as thick as ink, and bizarre spiritual light emanated from within. At the same time, it rapidly swept outwards, forming a huge storm, instantly covering a hundred-mile area and spreading at an alarming rate.
If a cultivator with keen divine sense were to cover this area, they would discover that hundreds of miles of wilderness had turned pitch-black, turning into a black water. The sky was dyed a dim yellow.
Even more astonishingly, the wild beasts in the sea also rioted. Many high-level wild beasts began to kill each other. Low-level sea beasts were even more restless, leaping out of the water, seemingly wanting to escape this area.
The dim yellow mist seemed unsatisfied, covering an increasingly wider area of the sea, expanding to a thousand miles in the blink of an eye. It was still spreading at an alarming rate.
At this moment, the Nascent Soul cultivators and demon kings in the sky were not paying attention to these things, but were watching the sea water churning below.
After a while, the huge waves turned back into water and fell back into the sea, but a huge vortex appeared on the sea surface, appearing to be several miles wide. The sound of rushing water continuously poured into it, as if a sea eye had suddenly formed.
Several streaks of light flashed, and the four demon kings, including the Red Fire King, led several seventh-order demon beasts directly towards it.
The Spirit Crane True Person and the others also exchanged glances, their bodies flashing with spiritual light, and each drove their escape light to follow closely.
This sea eye seemed to pierce directly to the seabed. The surrounding endless sea water was constantly rotating, and occasionally some sea wild beasts fell into it, all being swallowed up.
After a while, the Nascent Soul cultivators and demon kings reached the end of the sea eye. But they didn't reach the seabed, but rather a strange altar in the sea.
The altar didn't seem to have a fixed shape, but was formed by nine spiritual light pillars surrounding it.
Upon closer inspection, each spiritual light pillar was hundreds of feet in size, engraved with densely packed five-colored spiritual patterns, and each coiled with a fanged and clawed, lifelike giant dragon.
As the spiritual light pillars continued to rotate, one could faintly hear the long roar of a dragon. If one scanned with divine sense, one could sense that nine giant dragon phantoms really appeared around them.
Each phantom was hundreds of feet in size, and the dragon shadows were intertwined, forming this strange altar. Looking up, it looked like a huge five-colored light ball, constantly absorbing sea water, and countless sea beasts wrapped in it were all swallowed up. It seemed to be a bottomless cave.
Even high-level sea beasts, once they approached this light ball, seemed to lose their strength and could only be swallowed up.
But the Red Fire King and Spirit Crane True Person and others showed excited expressions as they approached this five-colored light ball.
The demon kings each took out a piece of Sky Abyss Token. Without them urging the Sky Abyss Token, it seemed to sense something upon arriving here, and the Sky Abyss Token instantly flashed with five-colored spiritual light, enveloping them.
Even the seventh-order demon beasts following behind them each wore a Sky Abyss Token, obviously prepared by the demon kings.
The human cultivators such as Spirit Crane True Person also took out the Sky Abyss Tokens.
Afterwards, they entered the light ball without the slightest hesitation and disappeared.
For a time, only this light ball, constantly flashing with five-colored spiritual light, remained in the sea, frantically devouring everything nearby.
