Chapter 1135: Chapter 1154: Gai Tianyuan?
"Now we are all trapped here, unable to use our Cultivation at all, how could we possibly kill this monster?" The Saint King of Yin Sea was utterly dejected, knowing the truth yet having no way to resolve it.
"Actually, these thirty million years have not been in vain for me, I have scoured countless texts to find the origin of this monster."
The Saint King of Tailing was revitalized, continuing, "This monster is called the Chaos Mist Beast, a terrifying creature living in the Chaos Starry Sky. They can produce Chaos Mist that isolates Spiritual Energy from the outside, achieving the effect of sealing others’ Cultivation."
"And I painstakingly obtained an Anti-fog Pearl, so I am not affected by the Chaos Mist Sea and can unleash my Cultivation; however, this monster has no true form, and its shape can transform into countless variations. To destroy it, we must find the source of this monster." The Saint King of Tailing spoke swiftly.
"The source?"
Ye Xuan frowned, saying.
"Correct, it is the Origin Pearl. For the Chaos Mist Beast to create the Chaos Mist Sea, it must release the Origin Pearl within its body. As long as we find its Origin Pearl and shatter it, the Chaos Mist Sea will naturally dissipate, and the monster will also scatter and perish," The Saint King of Tailing was brimming with excitement.
"But we are already trapped in the Chaos Mist Sea, where can we find this monster’s Origin Pearl," the Saint King of Yin Sea frowned and said.
"In the depths of the Mist Sea, which is the lair of this monster, its Origin Pearl is placed there. It sent me out to lure you two Daoists to go there."
"This monster has already set a Killing Array to trap and kill you two, but we will use this to our advantage. With me and the Daoist of Yin Sea holding off this monster, Daoist Ye can shatter its Origin Pearl, allowing us to escape, and freeing me from being controlled by this monster," the Saint King of Tailing quickly explained.
"Alright."
The Saint King of Yin Sea’s eyes brightened.
Ye Xuan slightly furrowed his brows, continuously scrutinizing the Saint King of Tailing; he clearly didn’t fully trust him. However, the Saint King of Tailing looked at Ye Xuan with sincere eyes, showing no sign of deception.
"Since that’s the case, let’s plan this thoroughly." Ye Xuan thought for three breaths, then nodded.
Soon, the three began deploying a series of plans. Once the plan was set, under the guidance of the Saint King of Tailing, they moved towards the depths of the Mist Sea.
Time wasn’t long; three days passed.
Ye Xuan and the others had already reached the depths of the Mist Sea, and the surrounding mist gradually dissipated. A Blood Pond appeared ahead, continuously bubbling horribly, with Jiuqu Old Mother and Dao Yun Saint King drenched in blood, crying out weakly within the Blood Pond.
"They’re not dead yet?" the Saint King of Yin Sea whispered in surprise.
"Shh, the monster is aware of us," the Saint King of Tailing hastily reminded.
Roar!
The ground shook, a fishy wind assailed them. A terrifying,
leopard-headed, tiger-bodied black monster burst from the Blood Pond, with horrific mist roaring through Heaven and Earth, weaving a towering Great Formation that crashed down towards Ye Xuan and the others.
"The Origin Pearl is at the center of the Blood Pond, Daoist Ye, quickly shatter it; I and Yin Sea will hold off this monster," the Saint King of Tailing roared, charging at the Chaos Mist Beast first.
"Damn it, I’m going all out."
Although the Saint King of Yin Sea’s Cultivation was sealed, he was still a Saint King; though his physical prowess wasn’t as great as Ye Xuan, he still had the strength for a fight.
"Tailing, you dare betray me?"
The Chaos Mist Beast spoke in human tongue, charging ferociously at the Saint King of Tailing.
Bang!
The Saint King of Tailing brandished a Chaos Spirit Sword, slashing it directly onto the Chaos Mist Beast, while the Saint King of Yin Sea, unwilling to be outdone, punched its body.
"Daoist Ye, what are you waiting for, act quickly," the Saint King of Tailing shouted passionately, now battling the Chaos Mist Beast. The Chaos Mist Beast was horrifically powerful, with just one strike making him spit blood, clearly no match for the beast.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan squinted slightly, feeling something was amiss, yet the bowstring was drawn, he had no choice but to act. He stepped forward into the center of the Blood Pond, where a blood-colored pearl floated in the air.
"Quickly, smash it."
The Saint King of Tailing fought as he retreated, frequently looking back at Ye Xuan with a face full of anxiety, his eyes now completely red.
"Daoist Ye, what are you waiting for, quickly shatter its Origin Pearl," the Saint King of Yin Sea also cried anxiously, using all his strength to attack the Chaos Mist Beast, yet unable to inflict a hint of damage.
The Saint King of Yin Sea, unable to use his Cultivation, was too weak. He and the Saint King of Tailing were retreating step by step, while the Chaos Mist Beast sensed something was wrong, its vicious gaze falling on Ye Xuan, seemingly wanting to kill him next.
At this moment.
Ye Xuan stood above the Blood Pond, his fingers reaching out for the blood-colored pearl, clutching it in his hand, which made the Saint King of Tailing’s face light up with joy.
"Quick, crush it, crush it," the Saint King of Tailing shouted anxiously.
"Crushing it would mean letting you escape, wouldn’t it?"
Unexpectedly, a strange smile appeared at the corner of Ye Xuan’s mouth. He didn’t crush the blood-colored pearl but looked at the Saint King of Tailing with a playful expression.
"Hmm?"
The Saint King of Tailing’s face changed drastically, stunned in place, while the Chaos Mist Beast attacking him furiously came to an eerie halt.
"Just as I thought," Ye Xuan chuckled coldly.
"What’s going on?"
The Saint King of Yin Sea sensed something was off too, for the Chaos Mist Beast before him seemed to turn into a puppet without Spiritual Wisdom, its terrifying aura vanished without a trace.
Silence, an eerie silence.
The joy on the Saint King of Tailing’s face vanished, replaced by extreme gloominess, as he stared venomously at Ye Xuan.
"When did you find out?" the Saint King of Tailing whispered acidly.
"At the time of the Taichu Sacred Land," Ye Xuan toyed with the blood-colored Spirit Pearl in his hand, gazing disdainfully at the Saint King of Tailing.
"I believed my plan to be flawless, how could you see through my layout?" The Saint King of Tailing snarled, his eyes turning blood-red.
"Should I call you Saint King of Tailing or Gai Tianyuan?" Ye Xuan calmly queried.
Boom!
Like Chaos Thunder booming, as the mighty ocean waves descended, ’Saint King of Tailing’ stood frozen, his aura stagnant.
"What...what nonsense are you talking about?"
After a dozen or so breaths, ’Saint King of Tailing’ struggled to calm his panicked emotions, shouting angrily at Ye Xuan.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk."
Ye Xuan toyed with the blood-colored pearl in his hand, mockingly smirking, saying: "To think that the once world-renowned monstrous Gai Tianyuan, a paramount figure who once competed with the Master of Spirits, dares not admit his identity today. What a colossal joke this is."
