Chapter 1084: Chapter 1070: Dragon Soul Suppression
"Third Brother, what’s wrong?"
The unusual behavior of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint caught Ye Zhen’s attention.
What kind of existence is the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, and how could his aura become unstable all of a sudden?
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s expression had turned extremely unpleasant, "Bloodline suppression, I was just subjected to an extremely terrifying bloodline aura suppression, and was caught off guard, slightly affected."
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was taken aback.
"How could this be? That’s impossible."
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint is of Demon Race origin, with an extremely pure Demon Race bloodline still in his body, so he would still be influenced by bloodline suppression.
However, his own cultivation is that of a strong Dao Entrance Realm, and he has considerable accomplishment in the Water Dao Patterns.
And Dao Patterns themselves are part of the Dao, the level of accomplishment in Dao Patterns can offer some natural resistance to bloodline suppression for a martial artist of Demon Race origin.
With all these factors combined, basically, there seems to be nothing on this True Profound Continent that could impose bloodline suppression on the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and his ilk.
Yet strangely, he is now experiencing bloodline suppression, and it’s not light either.
This undersea canyon ahead, though Ye Zhen hadn’t fully explored it, the strongest beast was that Catfish Flood Dragon, which couldn’t impose bloodline suppression on the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
That’s the main reason Ye Zhen said as much.
"Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible, but if someone did it intentionally, that changes things!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint sneered abruptly.
"Someone did it intentionally? Third Brother, you mean?"
"There are currently no demon beasts emerging or existing on this True Profound Continent that can impose bloodline suppression on me, but some people can cause bloodline suppression on me by relying on some relic or inheritance of a demon beast with an ancient bloodline!
And just now, within that roar, there was a trace of Dragon Soul suppression!"
Upon hearing this, anger suddenly surfaced on Ye Zhen’s face, "Dragon Soul suppression, Third Brother, do you mean Jie Tianhe?"
"Who else could it be?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint sneered.
"But why would he do this now? Shuili Dan King wouldn’t just arbitrarily abandon us...." While speaking, both Ye Zhen and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s gazes simultaneously fixed.
"The prize!"
"The prize that Jie Tianhe proposed earlier! The last to arrive must undertake the most dangerous action of provoking and inciting the Catfish Flood Dragon!" Ye Zhen said hastily.
"It seems, from the moment we entered the water, Jie Tianhe has been scheming against us! Furthermore, Jie Tianhe’s proposal was only approved with the support of the third Tower Chief of Stars Tower, Kui Otu.
In other words, from the moment we left Shuili Island and entered the water, Jie Tianhe and Otu have been plotting against us, to be precise, against you, preparing to deal with you!
However, if they want to deal with you, first they must ensure that I cannot escape, hence causing the bloodline suppression earlier!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint explained.
"What a clever scheme, but Third Brother, with our speed underwater, even if they disturb us like this, it might not be enough to drop us to the last two positions, right?" Ye Zhen said.
"That’s exactly what puzzles me, but in any case, you must be extremely careful later. With Shuili Dan King present, these two dare not openly harm you, but secretly scheming against you poses no issue...."
Before the Sea-Breaking Great Saint could finish speaking, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly changed, and he smiled bitterly, "Third Brother, I know Jie Tianhe’s backup plan!"
"What backup plan?"
"Beast tide, undersea beast tide!"
"What?"
As the Sea-Breaking Great Saint exclaimed, the seawater in the depths below instantly turned exceedingly murky, with various dazzling lights mingling, and torrents like sharp arrows bursting through the seabed, charging towards Ye Zhen and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
More accurately, they were rushing over.
These undersea demon beasts seemed to have been startled, as if there was a demon king devouring beasts deep in the seabed, fleeing desperately upwards from the depths.
This should indeed be the exact function of that Dragon Soul suppression just now.
On their way, any beast who dared block their escape, whether unwitting or slow-moving, as long as they were in front, would either be smashed to pieces or swallowed whole.
The eyes of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint suddenly shot out fierce light for several meters, "With just these demon beasts, they can stop us?"
With a flick of his form, countless black hair-like spiritual power snapped out like iron whips, and any demon beast hit was instantly turned into a mess of flesh and bones.
Just as the Sea-Breaking Great Saint was about to unleash a massacre, Ye Zhen held him back, "Third Brother, I can sense a beast tide, stretching for a hundred miles, over ten thousand middle-late stage Spirit Tier demon beasts are rapidly approaching.
If a massive amount of essence blood aura appears here, those ten thousand Spirit Tier beasts might engulf the two of us in an instant!"
"What, over ten thousand?" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint was momentarily stunned.
Even if the Sea-Breaking Great Saint is formidable, he does not dare to face tens of thousands of Demon Beasts at the middle to late stage of the Spirit Tier, because once these Demon Beasts catch a whiff of Essence Blood, his bloodline suppression over them will plummet.
Moreover, right now, facing these Demon Beasts startled by that trace of Dragon Soul Aura, the bloodline suppression of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint is virtually nonexistent.
"Third Brother, I think this is actually Jie Tianhe’s real calculation, isn’t it?"
"The moment we encountered this Beast Tide, had we started a massacre, we might have found ourselves in a deathtrap, surrounded by tens of thousands of Spirit Tier Demon Beasts. Even if we could break through, we might be severely wounded.
At that point, even if we barely made it through, it would be easier for them to take action against us!"
Upon hearing this, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint shook his head, "No, given Jie Tianhe’s character, there must be more traps for us! Perhaps after we exhaust ourselves escaping the Beast Tide, others will arrive to deal with us!"
"The other Nine Domain Dragon Kings of the Dragon Alliance?"
Ye Zhen let out a sudden cold laugh, "Since Jie Tianhe has calculated so meticulously, we will simply not let them succeed!"
The Sea-Breaking Great Saint showed a slight bitter smile, "Now if we want to escape, we must launch a massacre. But if we do, we will fall into Jie Tianhe’s trap!"
"Who says so?"
Suddenly, Ye Zhen smiled confidently and said, "Third Brother, watch me!"
Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense plunged into the Mirage Dragon Pearl. With a thought, Ye Zhen transformed into a somewhat ’exquisite’ looking One-tailed Crab King over ten meters long.
Even though the Sea-Breaking Great Saint knew Ye Zhen had the ability to transform, seeing him change for the first time into a genuine Demon Beast One-tailed Crab King, without missing any aura, was shocking.
A hand reached out from the One-tailed Crab King’s body, grasping the Sea-Breaking Great Saint’s hand, and a ring of Thunder Light leapt over, covering the Sea-Breaking Great Saint in a layer of Thunder Light.
"Third Brother, hold tight!"
In the next moment, Ye Zhen took the Sea-Breaking Great Saint and shot out towards the incoming Beast Tide. The Acquired Spirit Treasure Thunder Light Pearl silently appeared above Ye Zhen’s head. As the Thunder Light erupted, the sizzling Thunder Power spread out from Ye Zhen as the center, radiating in all directions.
Simultaneously, another strand of Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense sank into the Black Dragon Martial Meridians, and a massive Black Dragon Aura immediately dispersed.
The Sea Monsters, who were in a frenzy, instinctively launched an attack towards Ye Zhen, but the Thunder Power crackling through the water caused them to regain some clarity.
Regaining clarity was one thing, but as they regained it, these Demon Beasts were so terrified by the Black Dragon Aura emitted by Ye Zhen, that some of the lower-grade Demon Beasts almost fainted in fear.
The fainting Demon Beasts were knocked away by Ye Zhen at high speed, while those who responded to the Black Dragon Pressure quickly moved aside, clearing a high-speed path for Ye Zhen.
Transformed into the One-tailed Crab King and supported by the Black Dragon Martial Meridians, Ye Zhen’s speed in the water reached an extreme, akin to a Meteor shooting through the ocean depths.
Of course, Ye Zhen’s move was not universal. Some Demon Beasts, who had received very little impact from the Thunder Power, instinctively reached out their claws towards Ye Zhen.
However, the Thunder Electric Barrier around Ye Zhen gave them the most profound memory.
Especially now, with the power of the Thunder Light Pearl rising sharply, directly comparable to the power of a Low Grade Soul Artifact.
In an instant, they were convulsing in a shrieking mass, and the unlucky ones were casually slain by the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.
In just under a hundred breaths, Ye Zhen brought the Sea-Breaking Great Saint out of the Beast Tide charging up from the ocean depths.
Seeing this scene, the Sea-Breaking Great Saint was overjoyed, "Fourth Brother, maintain this speed, and we can definitely reach the meeting spot ahead of most of the others.
Jie Tianhe’s calculations will likely fail!"
"Definitely...."
Just as Ye Zhen echoed this, his expression shifted, eyes showing a trace of indecision, as if there was something difficult to decide.
However, the decisiveness Ye Zhen was known for was not without reason; the hesitation lasted only a moment before it vanished, and Ye Zhen had made his decision.
Simultaneously, Ye Zhen’s form abruptly stalled, slowing down rapidly as he retracted his Illusory Body to reveal his True Body.
"Fourth Brother, what’s wrong? Now is not the time to lose even a fraction of a moment. If we are late, we will indeed fall into Jie Tianhe’s trap!" the Sea-Breaking Great Saint urged.
"Third Brother, eighty miles ahead, there is a group of over a hundred Peak Spirit Tier Thunder Clams rushing this way!" Ye Zhen said.
"Thunder Clams, the marine beasts inherently skilled in Thunder Light? That thing gives even the Wind Guard a headache, and there are over a hundred of them. Quickly, let’s leave here!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint became anxious.
"No, Third Brother, I intend to slay them all!"
As he spoke, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense concentrated into the Thunder Light Pearl, and the Origin Aura of the Thunder Dao Pattern within it was released without any reservation.
Almost simultaneously, strands of Thunder Light appeared in the waves ahead.
In just three breaths, the waves in front turned into a storm of electric light and thunderous waves, rushing madly towards Ye Zhen.
Over a hundred Thunder Clams surged forward, as if they had scented blood!
"Third Brother, are you insane!" The Sea-Breaking Great Saint exclaimed in shock at the ferocity of the thunderous waves. (To be continued.
