Chapter 1000: Chapter 152: Divine Light Suddenly Appears
The Penglai Regent King, Ji Ru Mo, was in the Penglai Pavilion, discussing national affairs with the ministers of Penglai.
His body suddenly tensed, as if he sensed sothing.
Under the mask, those amber eyes grew solemn.
He felt a wave of Dark Magic Power.
This wave emanated from the sea.
With a swift sound, he was gone.
The ministers were left looking at each other, unsure of what had happened.
"Report—Regent King, a massive wave has arisen on the sea horizon."
A guard rushed in, but the Regent King was nowhere to be seen in the hall.
At this ti, far out on the sea hundreds of nautical miles from Penglai, the Magic Waterfall had just collapsed.
The Dragon Soaring and Hou Qin’s Skyship were snapped in half by the violent Water Magic Elent, and everyone on board was thrown into the sea.
"Save the Holy Emperor!" Madam Chi Bi saw Dugu Xiu fall into the water and was terrified.
She always knew that nothing good would happen when encountering Yun Sheng.
She ordered the Skyship to stabilize, while dispatching soldiers to search for Dugu Xiu’s whereabouts.
But to Madam Chi Bi’s shock, after the Magic Waterfall collapsed, the once calm sea surface turned eerie.
The collapse of the Magic Waterfall created such a strong Magic Wave.
As the Magic Waterfall poured down, the violent Water Magic Elent it carried not only destroyed the Skyship but also raised waves tens of ters high.
It seed as if soone had cast a super Water Magic under the sea.
The originally azure sea surface turned black like sludge.
The passengers, plunged into the sea, barely had ti to struggle before being swallowed by the raging waves.
With the collapse of the Magic Waterfall, Yun Sheng was pulled by a water force, falling off the Golden Qilin’s back, into the tumultuous sea.
A large amount of Water Magic Elent made Yun Sheng feel as if she was drowning. She tried using Floating Technique or other Wind Magic to escape the water, but the violent waves thwarted her attempts.
In such adverse conditions, even magic was powerless.
Yun Sheng could only hold her breath, buffeted by the waves, trying to maintain a bit of clarity, clutching the Black Box in her hand, kicking her legs to try and rise to the surface.
But just as Yun Sheng erged to gasp for air, a tentacle wrapped around her ankle, pulling her forcefully underwater.
Yun Sheng choked on a mouthful of water, sinking together with the Black Box.
By now, Hou Qin’s Skyship had located Dugu Xiu.
"Holy Emperor, get on the ship quickly. This wave is unusual, I fear the Abyssal Tentacle Sunflower is angry," Madam Chi Bi knew the terrifying nature of Water-elent Demon Beasts in the ocean.
Even with Dugu Xiu’s strength, fighting in the ocean drastically reduced his power.
They needed to move out of this water area as soon as possible.
Dugu Xiu climbed onto the ship, but then heard a splashing sound behind him.
Turning around, he saw Yun Sheng sinking to the sea bottom.
Dugu Xiu’s face changed drastically, and he was about to dive in to save her.
Madam Chi Bi saw this and grabbed Dugu Xiu, "Are you crazy, you can’t go into the sea. I was only halfway through explaining that the Abyss Tentacle Monster is a creature of the Netherworld. Its sudden appearance here must be linked to the Netherworld Ghost King. Are you willing to risk your life for that woman?"
The Netherworld Ghost King was a term associated with death.
He was a god-like presence, truly undying and immortal.
No matter how formidable Dugu Xiu’s powers were, before the Netherworld Ghost King, he was still weak and insignificant.
Even a dog has its master, and if these Abyssal Tentacle Sunflowers are indeed related to the Netherworld Ghost King, angering him could result in a situation that not even the Hei Yao Clan Leader might be able to protect Dugu Xiu from.
Dugu Xiu’s expression was stern.
At this mont, a heavy splash sound was heard. Dugu Xiu looked to see the Golden Qilin, which had earlier borne Yun Sheng, diving into the water.
Even a Demon Beast understood the need to protect its master, how could he lose to a beast?
Dugu Xiu’s heart moved, brushing away Madam Chi Bi’s hand.
Then, he turned and jumped into the sea.
"Dugu Xiu!" Madam Chi Bi watched as Dugu Xiu vanished into the raging waves, eyes full of despair. She trembled as she said, "For that woman... you would give up your life."
Under the sea, compared to the sky-facing furious waves, it was much more stable below.
Yun Sheng was pulled by tentacles, sinking into the sea water. The mont she touched the icy, bone-chilling seawater, her heart sohow cald down.
Underwater, Yun Sheng’s best Fire Magic was almost ineffective, the power of the Elf Karma Fire was greatly diminished.
The only ones that could achieve optimal usage were Dark Magic and Water Magic.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, she almost didn’t chant at all.
Underwater, ripples arose, and large amounts of Water Magic Elent rapidly condensed into ice swords.
The Ice Arrow pierced into the tentacle’s body, and it instantly froze into a solid ice block.
With a strike of the Magic Wand, the tentacle shattered into pieces.
Yun Sheng took advantage, kicking and slicing several ters in the water.
But nearby, nurous tentacles surged toward her, all aiming for the Black Box in Yun Sheng’s hand.
Yun Sheng looked down at the Black Box, discovering a crack had ford on it.
It turned out that during the fierce struggle and subrsion, the magic restriction outside the box was broken, and at the mont of subrsion, the box cracked open.
In the dim water, the opened crack in the Black Box emitted a ghostly light like a ghost fire.
Just then, in Yun Sheng’s Storage Ring, the Summoning Demon Hand and Immortal Holy Grail began to resonate.
Is this?
Yun Sheng’s eyelids jumped; could it be that inside this Black Box lies one of the Eight Desolate Divine Artifacts?
While Yun Sheng pondered, those nagging tentacles had already closed in.
The oxygen in Yun Sheng’s lungs was also dwindling.
A golden light rushed over, and Yun Sheng saw gold swimming toward her.
But just then, behind Yun Sheng, a hand suddenly appeared, pulling her forcefully. She fell into a firm embrace.
Turning back, Yun Sheng saw Dugu Xiu’s annoying face just inches from hers.
She wanted to shake off Dugu Xiu’s hand, but his grip was tight, and after the underwater fight, Yun Sheng had little strength left.
Dugu Xiu pulled Yun Sheng and swam toward the surface.
The Golden Qilin saw Yun Sheng being taken away by Dugu Xiu, kicked its limbs in the water, trying to catch up. But by this ti, those tentacles had already entangled its limbs.
In the golden eyes, a shade of annoyance flashed, and on the right arm of the Golden Qilin, a light shone, illuminating the underwater space.
