Chapter 1430 Sea Devouring Beast
On the western side of the Crimson Plain, there is now an endless, pitch-black ocean formed by Ji Cangyuan's soul power.
The 150,000 Night Clan warriors remained submerged in this unfathomable sea of soul power, silent and still, as if they had been completely swallowed up.
Ji Cangyuan slowly descended from the sky and gently landed on the water's surface.
He looked down at the inky waves at his feet, a disdainful smile playing on his lips:
"Hmph, the Ye family's army is nothing special."
"Hehehe, Chieftain, you're really giving them too much face. You actually took action yourself to deal with a bunch of minions." The octopus warrior, who had transformed into human form and whose tentacles were wriggling, said with a fawning smile.
Ji Cangyuan, with his hands behind his back, said calmly, "Of course I'm not giving face to these small fry. I'm just giving face to Ye Ge. After all, the Ye family's army is his elite force, and it's equipped with genetic weapons. If my sea clan army were to fight them head-on, it's not that we would be defeated, but we would definitely suffer casualties. So I have no intention of giving them the opportunity to use genetic weapons."
The octopus warrior nodded repeatedly: "That's right, you're right."
“However, I didn’t expect them to be so easily defeated,” Ji Cangyuan said. “It seems that without Ye Ge, the Ye family army isn’t as powerful as the rumors suggest.”
Think about it too.
A few Heavenly Enlightenment Realm transcendent warriors, leading a group of mid-to-low-level transcendent warriors, even with genetic weapons, at most they can only fight against Saint Realm experts, what kind of trouble can they cause?
"The human race has always relied entirely on that freak, Ye Ge, and Gao Shenxue, the human race's number one scientist, to maintain its reputation." Another old sea turtle warrior said, "But... Chieftain, what should we do with them next?"
Ji Cangyuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze piercing through the dark seawater, as if he could see the figures floating below: "The leaders are Ye Ge's brothers and sisters... I am somewhat interested in the Ye family's genes. This guy's bloodline is definitely not normal, otherwise he could not have leveled up so quickly, and he can control both divine power and magic power at the same time. I believe there must be some secret in his bloodline."
The old tortoise paused for a moment, then said, "You mean... you want to capture them and take them back for genetic research?"
"Genetic research? Hmph, I'm not Sima Qing, I'm not that bored." Ji Cangyuan scoffed, "My seawater isn't just an ordinary large water prison. It will slowly devour the soul power of all life forms in the sea, corrode their physical bodies, and even their divine consciousness... In the end, everything about them will turn into a pool of blood, slowly swallowed by the ocean. At that time, all their original power will be absorbed by me. Then, I will naturally know whether there is anything special about their bloodline."
"...So that's how it is."
Both the old tortoise and the octopus general broke out in a cold sweat.
This is the ancient forbidden technique of the sea tribe—Nourish the Sea and Nourish the Soul! It turns out that even now, the tribe leader is still practicing it...
This forbidden technique, which feeds the entire ocean by feeding living creatures, can make the entire ocean as terrifying as if it were alive. It takes a full three hundred years to nurture it into the legendary first elemental monster in the sea—the Sea Devourer!
The sea of soul power cultivated using this forbidden technique will transform into a gigantic living entity! It can be considered a type of dark water elemental life.
But since it has the characteristics of a living creature, it naturally needs to be fed... This sea beast needs to be fed a large number of living creatures every day, and since it is a fluid elemental life form with seawater as its body, its favorite food is naturally the flesh and blood of sea creatures!
This is why the "Method of Nourishing the Soul by Feeding the Sea" is a forbidden technique!
Legend has it that this dark sea elemental monster originated from a drop of sap from the Demon Tree in the Demon Realm in ancient times! At that time, the Demon Realm still existed. The first lord of the sea race went to the ancient Demon Lord to ask for a drop of sap from the Demon Tree. He took it back and dripped it into the sea, slowly nurturing the prototype of this sea monster with his own soul power.
But later, he discovered that this sea beast was too terrifying, even the first sea race lord was frightened.
Because this technique is cruel and harmful to its own kind, the first Sea Lord had already listed it as a forbidden technique and sealed it away for ten thousand years.
Thousands of years ago, the sea race was second only to the insect race in population... But since Ji Cangyuan came to power, he has secretly begun to cultivate this forbidden technique again. For hundreds of years, a large number of sea creatures have mysteriously disappeared every year, and all investigations have been fruitless, leading to a sharp decline in the number of sea creatures in recent centuries... Now it seems that all of this is probably related to Ji Cangyuan.
But neither the old tortoise nor the octopus general dared to utter a sound, nor did they dare to ask who this person was.
Who knows if Ji Cangyuan would feed them to the sea beast if they said something out of turn?
I've heard that thing not only devours flesh and blood, and soul power, but it can even devour the three souls and seven spirits. If you're absorbed by this ocean, you won't even be able to reincarnate...
They wouldn't dare take that risk!
"After soaking for so long, these 'bait' should have dissolved by now."
Ji Cangyuan spoke dismissively, kneeling down on one knee and placing his palm on the water's surface, as if listening.
"How is it? Is it delicious? 150,000 people. Although human flesh and blood aren't exactly the most delicious, at least the quantity is plentiful and filling..."
"What? You're saying they don't smell of blood?"
Ji Cangyuan looked puzzled: "What do you mean? How is this possible?"
"hehe......"
A cold, mocking laugh echoed from the seabed, penetrating the thick layer of water and clearly reverberating across the surface!
"I never imagined that the dignified ruler of the sea race would secretly cultivate such a dark and ancient forbidden technique—he is even darker and more like a true evil spirit than us demonized beings with dark blood flowing through our veins!"
That was Ye Yulong's voice!
"Hmm?" Ji Cangyuan's expression changed.
"How is this possible? Those devoured by my Sea Devouring Beast are gradually swallowed into the deep sea, ten thousand meters below. Yet it can still use its soul power to transmit its voice to the surface..."
"Gulu gulu gulu——"
The once calm, dark sea suddenly boiled! Countless bubbles surged wildly from the depths, and the entire ocean began to churn and churn violently!
"Buzzing buzzing buzzing buzzing...!!"
The sea warriors standing on the water's surface immediately staggered and swayed, frantically trying to steady themselves, fearing they would fall into this terrifying sea that had suddenly "come alive."
Ji Cangyuan's eyes sharpened. He could clearly sense that a vast, violent, and ominous magical power was rapidly rising from the bottom of the sea and approaching the surface!
"boom--!!!!!"
A massive water column, over ten meters in diameter, shot skyward and exploded!
Immediately following, a blinding, eerie green light pierced the sea and shot straight into the sky!
Amidst the light, a towering figure stood suspended in mid-air—
Ye Yulong has now entered his complete demon form.
His skin turned into a dark, molten black, as hard as black iron, with a faint green light flowing between the cracks, like the ghostly fire surging in the earth's veins. His eyes turned into a bright green like jade, with intricate and beautiful jade patterns emerging deep in his pupils. A pair of curved giant horns on his forehead pointed menacingly to the sky, and behind him were a pair of bone membrane wings with a wingspan of nearly ten meters, burning with ghostly flames!
The jagged greatsword in his hand was wreathed in flickering green flames, and he seemed like a demon god stepping out of the depths of hell. With each step he took, green flames rippled in the air.
"Demon form?"
Ji Cangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
He knew that this was a bloodline talent of a very small number of demonized mutants in the Ye family. They could activate their demonic bloodline and enter a demon form in a short period of time, explosively boosting their attributes to the extreme.
Currently, within the Ye family, he remembers only three people who can use this ability: Ye Ge, the former family head Ye Quan, and the person standing before him, Ye Yulong.
Ji Cangyuan did not take Ye Yulong's demon form seriously.
Even if a human superhuman warrior at the Apocalypse Realm has his attributes increased two or three times, he is still no different from an ant compared to someone at the peak of the Soul Emperor Realm.
He was just curious.
This pitch-black ocean, churning with the tides of soul power, is both a cage and a digestive stomach. Those who fall in will only sink deeper and deeper; their soul power will be stripped away, their bodies dissolved, and their consciousness dragged into an endless cycle of depravity, ultimately transforming into the purest life essence, becoming bait to nourish this elemental sea monster...
Anyone swallowed by it should theoretically never be able to resurface.
How could the sea monster spit him out?
Ye Yulong stood in mid-air, looking at Ji Cangyuan. He seemed to see through Ji Cangyuan's doubts and sneered, "Your sea beast seems to be having an upset stomach."
"what?"
Ji Cangyuan frowned, lowered his head, and looked down at the dark ocean beneath his feet.
"Buzzing..."
The buzzing sound came first.
The sea is boiling out of control!
It wasn't a surge of power, but a painful spasm originating from a deeper source! It was as if the sea monster had truly suffered from diarrhea!
Countless enormous bubbles surged from the abyss, bursting with a dull, wailing sound!
The once smooth, mirror-like waters twisted into bizarre, irregular whirlpools, waves bursting open without warning only to collapse again. The entire ocean resembled a colossal beast forcibly filled with molten lava, churning and struggling in agony!
Ji Cangyuan could feel that the unbreakable soul connection between himself and the sea beast was now receiving a series of chaotic and sharp feedbacks—it wasn't anger, but rather... pain, and a trace of indescribable rejection!
"Sea Devourer, what's wrong with you!?"
Ji Cangyuan gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, trying to forcefully quell the violent ocean will with his soul power.
what the hell???
Sea Devourer, although it loves the taste of the flesh and blood of sea creatures, should actually eat everything and not be picky about food.
How could I possibly have an upset stomach?
However, Ji Cangyuan's attempts to appease him were in vain; what responded to him was an even more violent and almost frenzied tsunami!
boom! boom! boom! ——
Three jets of black water, thicker than before and carrying destructive power, burst through the sea surface and soared into the sky like the final roar of a trapped beast!
From within the water column, three figures emanating terrifying demonic flames emerged, their power soaring to the heavens!
They are Ye Qingxin, Ye Mengyu, and Ye Yang, and the three of them have now entered their respective demon forms!
Since Ye Ge helped Ye Qingxin and the others unlock their genetic locks, their strength has not only jumped several levels to the peak of the Heavenly Revelation Realm, but they have also unlocked the ability to enter the demon form!
A hint of surprise flashed across Ji Cangyuan's eyes.
What the heck? Another demon form?
Wasn't it said that the Demon Form was an extremely rare variant of the Night Clan's demonic ability?
How come every member of the Ye family has one?
However, the rolling of the sea did not stop—
"boom--!!!!"
The entire dark sea surface seemed to explode.
The entire human army, numbering over 100,000, surged forth from the seabed! Complete and vast as a forest, they broke free of their restraints and returned to the surface in the same instant!
Each of them was enveloped in the magic of the apostles; some flew into the sky, while others landed steadily on the water, and they all regrouped into formation with great skill.
"!!!?"
Both the old tortoise and the octopus general were astonished.
this......
What’s going on???
After all that, not a single human soldier died??
"..."
Ji Cangyuan stared intently at the Ye family army that surged from the seabed to the surface, his facial muscles twitching uncontrollably.
"How can it be......"
"There's never been a story about creatures swallowed by sea monsters ever coming back out..."
"Even if it's scrap or garbage, he should eat it without hesitation..."
"How could it possibly have vomited you all up?"
Ye Mengyu said with a smile, "Perhaps it's because our flavors just happen to be things it doesn't like?"
"..."
Ji Cangyuan remained silent for a moment.
Immediately, his eyes were replaced by a sinister and even more violent killing intent.
"Hmph!" He raised his arms and frantically channeled his soul power!
The wide, flowing robes of the sea creatures billowed wildly even without wind! The terrifying pressure of the peak Soul Emperor realm erupted without restraint!
Centered on him, the sea surface within a radius of ten miles instantly collapsed, forming a huge whirlpool. Immediately afterwards, the seawater defied gravity and surged wildly upwards!
"boom--!"
He stirred up huge waves, creating more than a dozen waterspouts that were hundreds of feet high!
"Since the sea monsters won't eat you, then I'll kill you all myself!"
Ji Cangyuan said coldly.
"Soul Skill - Thousand Waves Dragon Devour!"
Eighteen giant waterspouts, each over thirty meters in diameter, roared and were born, stretching between the sea and the sky!
They are not simply streams of water; the core of each tornado shimmers with eerie blue soul power runes, and its surface is covered with countless high-speed spinning sharp water blades that cut through the air with a shrill, ghostly wail!
The eighteen water dragons echoed each other, forming a deadly net that covered the heavens and the earth, strangling down towards the Ye family army. Wherever they passed, space itself seemed to distort!
