88: Overturning Sea Demon King

With the help of the ten thousand souls banner, Su Ling's speed in hunting Sea Beasts became a bit faster.

In just ten days, over a hundred beast souls had already gathered within the ten thousand souls banner.

Among them, about thirty were Rank 3 beast souls alone.

The rest were all Rank 2 beast souls.

Once the ten thousand souls banner was unfurled, over a hundred beast souls would pounce on the opponent like mad dogs.

This gave Su Ling a brand-new understanding of the methods of a demonic Cultivator.

But the commotion caused by the ten thousand souls banner was too great; once he encountered a Rank 3 Late Stage or Peak Sea Beast and couldn't resolve the battle quickly, it would easily attract a siege from numerous Sea Beasts.

In view of this, Su Ling's subsequent hunting actions became much more cautious... A month later, Su Ling lay prone in a thicket of shrubs.

Wearing a temporary patchwork of crab armor and a Yao Core, supplemented by the Turtle Breath Technique and a spirit concealment talisman, the Rank 3 Late Stage sea snake a hundred feet away didn't notice his arrival at all.

This was a concealment method Su Ling had slowly figured out.

Sea Beasts had weak Divine Souls, and their Divine Sense scanning effects were poor.

Using this method, Su Ling had ambushed several Rank 3 Middle Stage Sea Beasts.

If it weren't for the sake of collecting beast souls, he probably could have used the Ghost Soul Arrow to kill even Rank 3 Late Stage Sea Beasts with underhanded means.

"After killing this one, I'll return to the city!"

Su Ling pursed his lips, and the ten thousand souls banner quietly appeared in his hand.

Just as he was about to activate it to pounce on that Sea Beast with beast souls, his Divine Sense discovered two figures rushing over from several miles away to his side.

Su Ling frowned slightly; during this time, to avoid disturbing too many Sea Beasts, he had kept his Divine Sense scanning range very low.

"Fellow Daoist!"

"Please lend a hand; I will reward you with a million Spirit Stones!"

Before he could retract his Divine Sense, a thought appeared within it.

Su Ling was stunned, and his Divine Sense instantly expanded.

The next moment, he threw out the cloud sparrow boat without hesitation and retreated at high speed.

Twenty miles away, a majestic aura was tightly locked onto those two people.

A deep, cold aura continued to spread, and sharp ice cones shot out one after another.

A Rank 4 Deep Blue Ice Flood Dragon!

Are you kidding me?!

Two Core Formation Middle Stage and Late Stage Cultivators are actually asking me, a Peak Foundation Establishment, for help?

Seeing a Flying Boat take off several miles away, the two Core Formation Cultivators were instantly exasperated.

Facing the incoming ice cones, one of them could only grit his teeth and throw out a Magic Treasure with dim spiritual light, using self-detonation to resist for a moment.

In mid-air, an ice-blue Deep Sea Flood Python scanned the direction of Minghuan City, its massive pupils filled with vigilance.

At the same time, Rank 4 Sea Beasts appeared all around Minghuan Island.

In the deep sea, massive Sea Beasts surfaced rapidly one by one.

At the very front was a strange Yao Beast with a shark's head and a human body, radiating a terrifying aura.

"Island-Protecting Array, activate!"

Within Minghuan Island, a deep voice resounded through the clouds.

The originally pale blue Island-Protecting Array rapidly turned deep blue.

When Su Ling reached the vicinity of the city on the cloud sparrow boat, the city guards who had been stationed outside had already all retreated into the island.

Countless human Cultivators arrived from all directions, rushing in a panic toward the passage reserved in the array.

As the vast cries of Sea Beasts rang out, the clear sky was instantly covered with dark clouds.

"Sea Overturning Demon King, Your Excellency, by acting like this, do you wish to provoke a war between humans and Yao?"

The City Lord of Minghuan, Meng Changge, with his wide sleeves fluttering, stood proudly in the Void Realm, looking at the distant sky with a grave expression.

Figures with majestic auras appeared in the sky above the island.

In an instant, they set up a Restriction array.

The strange Demon King with a shark's head and a human body in the center had a sinister smile flash across his hideous mouth, "City Lord Meng, as long as you deactivate the array and leave the ten-thousand-mile range of Minghuan Island, I promise not to kill you!"

"I'm afraid the day the array is deactivated will be the moment we all perish!"

Meng Changge snorted coldly, an ancient Talisman appearing in his hand, "As the City Lord of Minghuan, how can I, Meng, sit idly by while the Human Race is slaughtered by the likes of you!"

"A True Immortal Talisman?!"

The ten-foot-tall Sea Overturning Demon King's pitch-black eyes narrowed slightly.

Only Rank 6 Yao Beasts can be called Demon Kings.

Furthermore, the Sea Overturning Demon King was a Rank 6 Yao Beast that had undergone one transformation Lightning Tribulation.

He was comparable to a Body Integration Middle Stage human Cultivator.

Even though Meng Changge was only at the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, the True Immortal Talisman he held contained Immortal Arts that even the Sea Overturning Demon King could not ignore.

"If you all retreat today, I, Meng, can act as if nothing happened."

Meng Changge took a deep breath and said loudly, "If you insist on your course... Sea Overturning, you might as well try and see if your Yao Beast body can withstand this Sky-Burning Immortal Talisman!"

True Immortal Talismans can only be refined by a True Immortal.

They are the most powerful trump cards for various City Lords guarding their regions!

Even for a Rank 6 Yao Beast with a powerful Physical Body, they are no match for a Rank 7 Talisman.

The Sea Overturning Demon King, who had roamed the Yaoxing Sea for thousands of years, certainly knew that the various City Lords held True Immortal Talismans.

Yet he still dared to carry out this siege... Thinking of this, Meng Changge's heart sank.

Today, it would likely be difficult to resolve this peacefully.

"Meng Changge."

After a long silence, the Sea Overturning Demon King slowly said, "We of the Sea Race have no intention of becoming enemies with the Bitao Sect... But today, if you insist on your course, I would like to witness the methods of a True Immortal!"

With a wave of his hand, over twenty Rank 5 Sea Beasts with majestic auras all activated their Yao power.

Massive Divine Soul phantoms stood like towering mountains around Minghuan Island.

This caused the sea level to suddenly rise, like a circular high wall rising from the ground, trapping the entire island within.

It seemed that in the next moment, this tsunami-like towering wave would pour down, submerging everything in the ocean.

"I have already requested reinforcements from the Sect. I hope all Fellow Daoists will cooperate fully to support the array and wait for the Sect elders to arrive."

Meng Changge's expression was cold as he sent a Divine Sense transmission to the surrounding Nascent Soul Stage Experts, "If the Sea Overturning Demon King makes a move, I will naturally use the Sky-Burning Immortal Talisman to slay him!"

"City Lord Meng, rest assured. With the Island-Protecting Array as our reliance, we will naturally do our best."

"Brother Meng, do not worry. They are merely Yao Beasts; their methods won't be that sophisticated."

"Indeed. With the Sky-Burning Immortal Talisman as a deterrent, that Sea Overturning Demon King is likely just putting on a brave face. How would he dare to actually strike?"

"Brother Changge, I have already sent out a message. I expect the Sect elders will also come to our aid shortly."

The dozen or so Soul Transformation experts standing in mid-air all responded via Divine Sense transmission.

Array patterns immediately appeared on the deep blue Island-Protecting Array, and countless city guards quickly took their positions.

Those Nascent Soul Stage Experts also landed on various array eyes, their majestic auras continuously rising.

Dense Spiritual Qi condensed into forms of blades, spears, swords, halberds, ice, fire, and lightning, pointing directly at those Rank 5 Sea Beasts outside the island.

"Stubborn!"

A cold smile flashed across the Sea Overturning Demon King's face, and he waved his thick palm heavily, "Kill! Leave none alive!"

"Ang!"

Countless Sea Beast cries converged, and a towering water-attribute Yao power erupted.

The dark clouds in the sky instantly overturned into a torrential rain, condensing into water lightning, water arrows, and water Dragons in mid-air, covering the sky and earth as they fell.

The surrounding endless seawater turned into a tsunami, crashing toward Minghuan City.

The war between humans and Yao erupted instantly!
