During the Core Formation Stage, comprehending the concept of intent is a feat only seen in ancient tis!

Many cultivators spend their entire lives stuck at the Great Perfection of the Core Formation stage, unable to form a Nascent Soul, simply because they lack the understanding of intent.

Even so demonic cultivators, who rely on special ans to form a Nascent Soul, possess an intent that belongs to others. They have no personal enlightennt, and despite their cultivation, they lack divine abilities and are known as false infant cultivators.

Yet now, he could sense the presence of intent from a junior.

"Is it worth sacrificing them for the peace of the East Sea?"

Yu Jianqiu's external incarnation fell silent.

"Whoosh!"

Xu Hei exhaled a long breath and muttered to himself, "Summon Wind, I managed to use it naturally."

Intent is a necessary condition for using divine abilities, yet Xu Hei had no idea what his intent was, feeling nothing at all.

Xu Hei reached out and pulled a shriveled Elental Infant towards him. It was entirely blood-colored and barely ford, indicating that Blood Vengeance had only recently ford it.

Xu Hei initially intended to swallow it whole, but suddenly, he sensed a nauseating aura from the Elental Infant, akin to the pollution of heavy oil, similar to the will of the Sea God!

Instinctively, Xu Hei discarded the Elental Infant.

"It seems Blood Vengeance relied on heavy oil to break through. What is the principle behind this?"

"Why does the Sea God need so much heavy oil, and where does that polluted will co from?"

Xu Hei had many questions and doubts, but ti was pressing. He turned to Xu Bai and said, "Xu Bai, I know a place where we can leave this area. Follow !"

He headed straight for the Enforcent Hall.

Xu Bai nodded and followed closely behind.

However, just as the two were about to leave, Xu Hei suddenly halted. From beneath the sea, countless sharp swords shot up, grazing his body, accompanied by various projectiles exploding nearby, filling the air with thick smoke.

From the sea and sky erged over a dozen human figures, all clad in black robes, all of them deacons of the Sea God Sect.

Among them were a few familiar faces that Xu Hei had seen while extracting oil, all at least in the late Core Formation stage.

"Is this the snake that Lord Xu Fu wants us to deal with?"

"Why does it look familiar?"

"Enough talk, let's kill it!"

More than ten cultivators attacked simultaneously, throwing various magical treasures as if they cost nothing. Soone even pulled out a cannon, firing black projectiles that exploded in mid-air, spraying heavy oil everywhere.

To deal with Xu Hei, Xu Fu had mobilized all his deacons, launching a full-scale attack.

Each elder had their own tasks, and Xu Fu couldn't easily mobilize them, but there were plenty of deacons, and so of their combined attack formations were as powerful as those of the Elental Infant stage.

Five deacons stood at five points, with gold, wood, water, fire, and earth appearing behind them. The Five Elental True Essence rged to form the famous trapping formation, the Five Elents Reversal Formation!

This formation was extrely difficult to form, requiring five practitioners, each possessing the corresponding Spiritual Root, and the Spiritual Root had to be of at least high quality, which stumped many!

Not to ntion that all five had to master the principles of the formation, and their cultivation had to be in the late Core Formation stage, making it even more challenging.

"Fall!!"

At that mont, Xu Hei felt that the sky was no longer the sky, and the ground was no longer the ground. His body fell towards the sky, losing all sense of direction, unable to distinguish between north, south, east, and west, with the universe in chaos and the Five Elents reversed!

"Ever-changing Fish and Dragon!"

Xu Hei tried to move forward, attempting to break out of the formation, but his body darted in another direction, directly colliding with various incoming magical treasures under the opponent's control.

"Boom boom boom..."

Xu Hei suffered heavy blows, spitting blood, his body covered in heavy oil, yet under a burst of blue light, his injuries rapidly healed.

The enemy's target was Xu Hei, leaving Xu Bai unscathed, giving her an opportunity. The seawater turned a vivid green, with countless algae erupting, and even seaweed shooting out, instantly grabbing the two and dragging them into the water.

"Ahhh!!"

Horrific screams echoed from the sea, with a layer of blood-red floating on the surface, like bright flowers blooming amidst the green algae, as the corpses and flesh were devoured clean by the algae.

"Be careful, that white snake is no ordinary one either!" ca an alard shout from the opponent.

The Five Elents Reversal Formation expanded again, with seawater pouring in, subrging the algae deep underwater, successfully dragging Xu Bai into the formation as well.

Xu Hei summoned the Golden Dragon Pagoda, fiercely ramming it, but the attack direction was also reversed, brushing past the opponent.

"I've already taken down Blood Vengeance, do you think a group of Core Formation stage cultivators can hold back?"

"Let's see how you dodge this move!"

Xu Hei took a deep breath, the remaining True Essence in his body boiling and burning once more, with his Golden Core slowly shriveling.

Seeing this, Xu Bai spat out a stream of blue water, mixed with so pills, which surged into Xu Hei's body.

Xu Hei's previously depleted True Essence was replenished once again.

This replenishnt gave Xu Hei the chance to unleash his divine ability a second ti!

"This move will be your end!"

Xu Hei's True Essence burned, the newly replenished True Essence depleting once more, as rain droplets the size of beans gathered in the clouds, forming in the seawater.

"Azure Dragon Immortal Spell, Summon Rain!"

With a low shout from Xu Hei, countless raindrops fell from all directions, crashing into the Five Elents Reversal Formation.

Wherever the raindrops fell, it turned into nothingness, leaving nothing behind, not even space itself.

The Five Elents Reversal Formation couldn't withstand such a divine ability, and the five people in the formation didn't even have ti to scream before being engulfed by the rain, disappearing without a trace, their bodies and souls extinguished.

"What?!"

Yu Jianqiu had been watching Xu Hei and Xu Bai's movents, and witnessing this scene left him deeply shocked.

A choice?

He had been hesitant, but now, he had made up his mind.

"Did you see this, my true self?"

"Sacrificing them to destroy the Sea God's heart, to gain a lifeti of peace, is it worth it?"

"Now, it's ti to make a decision!"

Yu Jianqiu's external incarnation whispered internally, awaiting a response.

Ti seed long, but in reality, it was very short.

In fact, the mont Xu Hei comprehended intent, Yu Jianqiu already had the answer in his heart.

Having consecutively slain Blood Vengeance, over a dozen deacons, and breaking the Five Elents Reversal Formation, Xu Hei's talent had surpassed his own back in the day, reaching the level of an unparalleled arrogance from ancient tis.

Such a Chosen might indeed have a slight chance to prevent the future arrival of the Sea God.

He was willing to gamble, to bet on that slight chance!

The stake was the entire East Sea, and even the entire world!

"To gamble on a group of young people, hoping they will stop the Sea God in the future, ha, I must be crazy."

Yu Jianqiu murmured softly.

At that mont, his true self within the Prison Tower experienced a rapid decline in aura.

Accompanying this was his external incarnation, whose aura soared to its peak.

The power of his true self was being transferred to his external incarnation!

…………

Inside the Prison Tower.

Upon sensing Yu Jianqiu's weakening power, a cold laugh emanated from within the Soul Refining Demon Lord: "You've made a wise choice!"

"Crack!!"

As soon as the words fell, the Soul Refining Demon Lord's body swelled instantly, opening a ferocious giant mouth and devouring Yu Jianqiu's physical body.

"Clang!"

The sword nad Flying Light fell to the ground.

"Yu Jianqiu!"

Both the Water Kylin and the Scholar were stunned on the spot.

After devouring Yu Jianqiu, the Soul Refining Demon Lord's chest, where the dead Sea God's heart was, gradually resud beating. He withdrew and flew to the entrance of the Prison Tower.

He reached out with his hand, and the indestructible door was easily torn open by him.

"In three years, when the Sea God descends upon the world, I hope the Penglai Sea will also make a wise choice, just like today!"

The Soul Refining Demon Lord sneered and slipped through the broken crack.

The outside sky grew darker, as if it were about to swallow the world whole, casting a shadow of death over everyone's hearts.

Their five senses were gradually fading, reason was vanishing, and a terrifying pollution descended from the sky, threatening to assimilate everyone.

Suddenly, a light appeared on the horizon.

It was a sword light!

The sword light grew brighter, piercing the sky, puncturing a small hole in the all-encompassing darkness.

Like a black curtain being pierced, light shone through the hole in the sky, illuminating the world instantly.

Yu Jianqiu's external incarnation, holding a long sword, stood at the top of the sky, like a war god, protecting the entire Penglai Sea.

The pollution vanished, the dark clouds dispersed, and the Sea God's will rapidly receded.

Yu Jianqiu's Flying Light wasn't used for mutual destruction, but to protect all living beings.

Yu Jianqiu never expected that the swordsmanship he had honed for five hundred years would be used for this purpose.

Would he regret not being able to eliminate the Sea God?

If it were five hundred years ago, he would have cursed himself for being crazy, but now, he believed he made the right choice.

"Will I regret it?"

Yu Jianqiu murmured to himself.

At the sa ti, all mbers of the Sea God Sect received a signal: retreat!

The Soul Refining Demon Lord's body transford into a wandering soul, rushing into the distance, unstoppable by anyone, including the mighty Water Kylin and the Scholar.

The Devouring Demon Lord retreated from the direction of the Enforcent Hall, his task being to hold back the Whale lineage, which was an easy task for him.

The Nightmare Demon Lord also withdrew from the Toad lineage, having gained much from this trip. The butcher had grown larger, yet for so reason, he felt the butcher's control was sowhat awkward, as if... it had developed its own thoughts.

This feeling had erged since entering the Penglai Sea.

The other elders and deacons of the Sea God Sect all returned the way they ca. Their mission was accomplished, though the losses were significant, each would at least receive twenty thousand incense sticks!

This was the promise of the Sea God.

On the island where Mo Xuan resided.

The Yehuo Demon Lord, Xu Fu, hovered in the air with a slight smile, clasping his fists, "Your choice is wise, farewell!"

He had just taken a few steps when suddenly, a deep voice ca from behind.

"Who said you could leave?"

Xu Fu was taken aback, turning to glance at the old Flood Dragon, feeling inexplicably tense.

Without further hesitation, he fled directly, moving at incredible speed.

Mo Xuan raised his head and said calmly, "I just said, if you dare to leave even half a step, I will..."

Before he could finish speaking!

Mo Xuan's body suddenly elongated, his form stretching, with his dragon head raised, charging towards Xu Fu's figure with a fierce impact.

Xu Fu's pupils contracted to a point, his face filled with terror.

…………

At this mont, after killing a group of deacons, Xu Hei noticed the Sea God Sect retreating.

The dark clouds in the sky dispersed, and even the omnipresent will of the Sea God, the pollution of heavy oil, vanished without a trace.

Xu Hei imdiately rushed to the island where Mo Xuan was, intending to check on Elder Mo's situation.

Xu Bai followed closely beside him, like a shadow, giving Xu Hei imnse courage.

Before they could get close, Xu Hei suddenly heard a loud dragon roar echoing from the direction of the island.

At the end of his vision, he saw the phantom of a Flood Dragon rising from the ground, awakening from its slumber. Its lowered head was now raised high towards the sky, unstoppable.
