Chapter 1452 - Emperor Sea Shark
Deep in the blue sea.
A majestic glass palace the size of a small kingdom was moving on the seabed like a giant fish. This palace had so many crystal towers with piles of jades, corals, and precious gemstones. It was indeed grand and luxurious.
Several thousand warriors of the Sea Clan were staying inside that crystal palace. They all had strange figuresand relatively high realms with cold and calm auras.
The entire glass palace was like an island made of ten high towers. The central hall was hundreds of meters tall. Atop the conical tower, Emperor Sea Shark squinted, his face serene.
A Sea Clan warrior kneeled behind him and reported in a low voice, “Three more crews have disappeared mysteriously. They were close to us...”
Emperor Sea Shark closed his eyes. After pondering for a while, he rose one finger.
A water current created an arrow and pointed in a direction. So many shadows glowed dimly. “Our men died right where those shadows are. From when they disappeared, we could guess which way their killer went.”
The warrior’s eyes brightened. “From what we observed, they’re pretty close by.”
Emperor Sea Shark nodded. A strange light sparkled in his eyes. Countless wisps of energy that were like a tsunami rippled from his body. The grand palace slowly ceased. His energy covered the entire palace and made it invisible. “We shall wait for them.”
—————————
Deep inside a sea area, the bodies of the five dead Sea Clan warriors were buried. Their vitality and aura vanished.
Shi Yan wore a calm face and sat cross-legged.
By him, Mei Ji was like an ice sculpture of a Goddess with ice covering her entirely. The transparent ice made her beautiful in a different way.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The sound of something freezing arose. From Mei Ji, the sea water was slowly freezing. In ten breaths, she created a glacier and hid her body.
Flows of cold energy expanded from the glacier and the sea water became very cold.
Inside the glacier, Mei Ji’s breathing was long and her eyebrows were transparent like the ice. She was wearing a long, bright silver dress, which outlined her curves. In the extremely cold energy, she looked refreshed.
After a while, the glacier melted. She got out of the ice, her eyes bright and joyful.
Her God power had become more refined and abundant. Because of the Dark Energy’s existence, she was getting closer to the Territory Ancestor Realm every day. Today, she tried to transform her Incipient Extent to the Territory, which was going to become her foundation to enter the Territory Ancestor Realm.
After parting with Forefather Dragon Lizard and Tu Shi Qi, she and Shi Yan had moved fiercely and killed all the warriors in their way.
Every time after they killed the warriors, Shi Yan had used the Devouring power Upanishad to absorb and share pure energy with her. While her God power, soul, and body were advancing, she also changed to enjoy an indescribable pleasure of intimacy. She got used to and she thought she was sinking as she began to enjoy this erotic and yet dangerous adventure.
Her power had been increasing every day. Every time she felt sweet, Shi Yan’s image got carved more deeply into her soul and heart.
She looked at Shi Yan with sincere feelings in her bright eyes. She was confident that she could compete with Territory Ancestor Realm experts. Even if Batum had come back from death, she was confident that she would defeat him!
She didn’t know how strong Shi Yan was now. However, she knew that he was indeed intimidating because more than anyone, she understood the great benefits that the Devouring power Upanishad had brought him. She also knew that Shi Yan always used the energy refined by the Devouring power Upanishad to quench his body.
As he felt her watching, Shi Yan opened his eyes and chuckled, “How do you feel?”
“Couldn’t have been better,” smiled Mei Ji. “How about you? When can you reach Second Sky of Immortal Realm?”
“It’s not far. I just need to understand my power Upanishads better. Whenever I meditate, I can feel the subtle but magical change of my power Upanishads.” Shi Yan contemplated, “I can’t rush. The accumulation of body, soul, and God power also benefits me a lot. At our current speed, we’re around one year from the territory entrance. I know it will be pretty tough later.”
“I don’t want to finish this trip,” Mei Ji walked forward and pulled his hand while pressing her voluptuous body against his. “This trip has been the most beautiful experience in my entire life. Even if I die, I won’t regret it.”
Shi Yan didn’t say more. He turned around and pulled her into his tight embrace.
In this deep blue sea, they looked at each other, smiled, and continued their journey.
——————————
“I don’t know why I can’t ease my restless mind after we entered this sea area. I feel bound as if I’ve been caged.” Today, Shi Yan said with a dark face while moving inside his starlight protection.
They were very far from their first stop. Shi Yan had released his Soul Consciousness to sense around. He didn’t find any commotion or aura of living beings.
Logically, they had pierced through a dangerous zone.
However, after a while of strange calmness and quietness, Shi Yan felt that something wasn’t right. “We didn’t find any warrior along the way. It’s not normal.”
Mei Ji wore a serene face when he said that. “Yeah, it has been strangely smooth lately.”
“I always feel like something is wrong,” Shi Yan frowned, “but I can’t tell why. I don’t know what’s the matter. Anyway, we have to be more cautious.”
“Okay.”
Several days later, they came to a beautiful area where so many magnificent jellyfish looked like five-colored lanterns shining above their heads. The lights from them were so mesmerizing.
As they were moving under the jellyfish, the dreamy scene above their heads had captured their minds for a while.
However, shortly after, Shi Yan discolored and said, “Those jellyfish have weak soul energy fluctuations. They’re possibly the “eyes” that some expert released!”
Mei Ji was surprised. She knew that it wasn’t going well. “If so, we’re disclosed. We have to leave as fast as we can!”
Shi Yan didn’t say much and brought Mei Ji at the max speed toward the territory entrance. However, after one hundred miles, his light cage bounced back as if it had bumped into an invisible barrier.
Shi Yan and Mei Ji were frightened. They knew that their assumption was correct. Unknowingly, they had entered a trap that someone had set up for them.
Right behind them, a grand crystal palace slowly emerged with countless cold-faced Sea Clan warriors.
An old Sea Clan expert was standing on the highest tower of the palace in the center. He looked at them from a far distance and said deliberately, “We’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
“Emperor Sea Shark!” Mei Ji couldn’t help but scream.
“You guys have killed more than ten of my crews. By the time they were killed, I figured out your route. We’ve been hiding here and waiting for you for a long time. Yeah, after ten days, you finally showed up. You didn’t fail me, indeed.” Emperor Sea Shark pitched his voice, “Mei Ji, I know you. I don’t want to provoke your Phantom Clan. I’m going to make my request clear right now.”
“Say it,” Mei Ji’s expression was extremely stern.
“I’ve talked to Neptune and made a deal with him. Anyway, because of you, Mei Ji, I will give you a way,” Emperor Sea Shark’s voice was cold and nonchalant. “You tell him to hand over the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and the Absolute Beginning Original Symbol. I will let you go as if I have never seen you. It’s the best deal I can give you!”
Emperor Sea Shark had agreed with Neptune that if he found Shi Yan and Mei Ji, he would tell Neptune first.
However, Emperor Sea Shark had his own plans.
According to Neptune, once he told him Shi Yan and Mei Ji’s whereabouts, they wouldn’t be able to escape death and he wouldn’t be able to get the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and Absolute Beginning Original Symbol, either. Neptune would take them all.
Neptune had promised Emperor Sea Shark to refine him an Absolute Beginning Original Symbol first. Anyway, Emperor Sea Shark knew there was a better option.
Taking the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and Absolute Beginning Original Symbol without offending the Phantom Clan; wasn’t that a better option?
“Who is he?” Shi Yan pulled himself together. He knew it would be the toughest step in this undersea journey. “I can sense that he’s a Territory Ancestor Realm expert. His aura...is really domineering!”
“Emperor Sea Shark is the overlord of the seabed at First Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. He’s always cultivating under the sea. He rarely leaves the seabed. The Seven Great Clans don’t want to mess with him,” said Mei Ji in a low-pitched tone. “He’s Neptune’s friend. Anyway, I think their friendship isn’t good enough. Otherwise, he would kill us without talking.”
“Tribal Oldie, what about our dead fellows?” screamed a Sea Clan warrior.
Emperor Sea Shark looked cold as he said, “The Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and the Absolute Beginning Original Symbol are the prices that they have to pay for my grandchildren’s death. If they agree to hand the items over, we can save a lot of effort.”
He had his own concerns. Although he was at the Territory Ancestor Realm, if he had to forcefully antagonize a force like the Phantom Clan, he wasn’t so sure. He didn’t want to let Neptune make use of him. If he killed Mei Ji, the Phantom experts would come to the seabed. Taking the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower and the Absolute Beginning Original Symbol without enraging the Phantom Clan was the best thing to do.
“I’ll give you fifteen minutes to consider it,” Emperor Sea Shark stood on his throne and spoke, “Mei Ji, you’re a smart woman. You know when to let it go.”
Swoosh!
Countless layers of barriers were conjured. They covered the starlight cage to prevent the Soul Consciousness from sensing and eavesdropping.
“He’s really strong at First Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. We can try to defeat him. But I’m not so sure.” Mei Ji looked bitter. “Because I have been growing fast lately, I’m considering it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have the guts to fight him once.”
Shi Yan furrowed his brows, “The First Sky of Territory Ancestor Realm. His Incipient Extent has evolved into the Territory. He has Dark Energy. Indeed, he’s an extreme opponent.”
“We can’t succeed. Once we’re defeated, I know it won’t be easy to talk to him again,” said Mei Ji.
Shi Yan lifted his head and looked at Emperor Sea Shark, his voice low. “I’ve swallowed a lot of soul altars lately. My body, soul altars, and God power all transformed to many different levels. I feel great but fighting against a Territory Ancestor is over my capacity I think. But I still want to try. I want to know to what degree I can reach if I use all of my powers.”
“You... Do you want to fight?” Mei Ji was frightened as she spoke resolutely. “No, absolutely not! You’re at First Sky of Immortal Realm. Too low. Let me try beating Emperor Sea Shark. If we can’t, just give him the Power Upanishad Symbol Tower! You’re still young. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself. You will have chances to make up the fight today!”
“The Absolute Beginning Original Symbol has fused with my power Upanishad. I don’t know how to take it out. The Power Upanishad Symbol Tower has connected to my co-soul. I will never discard my soul!” Shi Yan shook his head.
