Chapter 470: [469] Withering Spear, Will of the Sea

Sixth ocean current belt.

"Ding!"

In the instant when it was struck by the withering spear of the withered vine.

The black-scaled sea monster fell into a strange illusion and, in a short moment, experienced an extremely long cycle of time.

At first.

It returned to the moment of its birth, stirring the sea with its tail, curiously observing the world with its young eyes, and blowing bubbles in the water.

It was given a name - Cai Kun.

Meaning - as powerful as a storm.

"Gurgle~"

On the surface of each bubble, there shimmered a scene from its life.

This was its rebirth.

Then.

Cai Kun began to grow rapidly, possessing increasingly powerful extraordinary powers and mastering more and more secret techniques of the sea clan.

Because its rate of growth was so fast, it was recognized by the tribe as a genius and seen as the hope for the future growth of the tribe.

Finally, one day.

Cai Kun displayed an extremely powerful secret technique.

"Boom!"

A loud thunderclap.

Suddenly, all the seawater within a radius of five kilometers began to flow rapidly, instantly turning into a giant waterspout.

This move was called - Roar of the Sea!

It truly became as powerful as its name, like a storm.

Cai Kun stood atop the waves, roaring at the sky, letting the pouring rain fall on it.

Around it.

The tribe that revered it as their leader, as well as many tribes that submitted to it, numbering over fifty thousand, all floated and sank on the sea, paying their respects and worshiping it.

This was prosperity.

And then.

Cai Kun experienced a series of chaotic illusions.

The theme of these illusions was only one - slaughter!

Endless slaughter!

In order to compete for territory, it followed the tribe to battle, killing one sea monster after another, defeating one black-scaled tribe after another.

In order to seize the position of tribe leader, in a fierce battle, it sneakily attacked and killed the leader from behind. The look in the leader's eyes before dying was filled with immense shock.

The leader had already publicly announced that the next leader would be inherited by it, so the leader couldn't understand why it did this.

Cai Kun gazed at the leader's corpse and whispered the answer, "I can't wait that long, besides, I want to get 'seaweed' as soon as possible."

Seaweed was the leader's third wife.

It had coveted the seaweed for a very long time.

In order to gain the favor of the Sea King and to obtain greater power, Cai Kun invited several neighboring tribes, pretending to want to form an alliance.

Actually, this is a trap.

Cai Kun brought a highly concealed poison and used it to kill several tribal leaders and their guards at a banquet, annexing these tribes.

Due to its actions, the Black Scale tribe in the surrounding waters, as well as other marine races, gave it a title - the Cunning One.

Regarding this,

Cai Kun not only didn't care, but instead felt proud.

It even sincerely thought to itself, "The more cunning I am, the more fear I instill in the weak. This is the honor of the powerful!"

However,

During this incredible journey, Cai Kun also discovered something very troublesome.

After experiencing each killing illusion, its originally vigorous life force quietly diminished in an unimaginable way.

Cai Kun couldn't stop all of this, nor did it know the reason behind it, or where exactly its life force was flowing away to.

This completely exceeded its understanding.

In fact,

It was the power of the third stage of the Integrated Union's Wondrous Spirit Rong Ya - Withering.

This is a miraculous means of manipulating laws and a truly powerful secret technique at the Xuan Du level.

Descending from the heavens, the vine spear that hit Cai Kun also had a quite cool name - the Spear of Withering.

Apart from immortal time,

The Spear of Withering can wither everything.

Of course,

The prerequisite is that the person who uses this secret technique must be stronger than the one being attacked and have a deeper understanding of the laws.

After all, even if a Xuan Du powerhouse were to unleash ten thousand Spears of Withering, they still wouldn't be able to kill a true god who has mastered the laws.

Finally,

After completing the last killing in the illusion,

Cai Kun was already on the verge of death, welcoming its final moment.

It struggled to open its eyes with all its might, gazing at the boundless ocean with a nostalgic look, and whispered, "I want to go home!"

Until this moment,

Cai Kun realized that the moment it cherished the most deep in its soul was when it first opened its eyes and saw the world.

Unfortunately,

It couldn't go back.

Before its consciousness was completely swallowed by darkness, a voice echoed in its mind out of nowhere, "So this is a moment, but also eternity? How interesting!"

*

Yan Mountain Fortress.

Cheng Han stared at the center of the halo on the screen and nodded in satisfaction.

The power of the Spear of Withering was even stronger than he had expected.

The strength of the sea monster Cai Kun was so formidable that it could easily compete with Jian Wanli in the marine environment.

But when faced with the Spear of Withering, it had no resistance at all.

It was instantly killed!

In comparison,

When I was traveling on the rail car in Xiaoxuan Palace in Taian, I encountered a "Earth-swallowing Earthworm King" whose strength was comparable to that of a peak Xuan Master.

The Rongling Extinguishing Life Spear thrown from a distance accurately hit the monster, but it resisted for a while before being killed.

It is obvious.

The Withering Spear is even more powerful!

Cheng Han recalled countless illusions of Guikun's experiences and muttered in his heart, "No wonder the Divine Fire Dragon I sent to seduce 'Hua Yunmu' couldn't make contact no matter what I did."

Last time when he arrived in the Eastern Li War Zone, the ghostly spider he sent happened to discover a sea creature called "Hua Yunmu" in the deep sea area.

After observing for a while, the ghostly spider found that if this sea creature was made a vassal, it could greatly enhance the security of this war zone.

But every time the ghostly spider tried to communicate, it would be ruthlessly attacked.

He thought it was because of its low appearance.

Later, the ghostly spider transformed into the Divine Fire Dragon, greatly improving its appearance.

But no matter what methods the Divine Fire Dragon tried, it still couldn't achieve its goal.

At this moment.

Cheng Han finally understood the reason: "The Will of the Sea? No wonder both the ghostly spider and the Divine Fire Dragon were always attacked by Hua Yunmu."

The so-called "Will of the Sea" can be regarded as the fundamental will of this world to some extent.

The ghostly spider and the Divine Fire Dragon are outsiders, so they are not favored by the Will of the Sea.

This is an invisible rejection on the level of laws.

Any creature native to the Yuanyao Realm will naturally be influenced by the Will of the Sea and have an inherent aversion to outsiders from the bottom of their hearts.

The behavior of the Hua Yunmu clan is precisely because of this.

Even they themselves don't know where this aversion comes from.

All of the above.

It is precisely the secret that Cheng Han experienced the life of the Black Scale Sea Monster with the help of the Withering Spear and realized from his memories.

Because this involves the deep-level mysteries of the power of laws, it is probably a top-secret known only to the Divine Generals and above.

I estimate that even most Xuan Supervisors are not clear about it.

In any case.

Thank you, Mr. Guikun!

If it hadn't sacrificed its precious life and past memories, he would not have discovered such secrets.

Cheng Han turned his head and ordered, "Notify the Deep Diving Fleet No. 16 to immediately rescue the wounded and bring back the corpse of the sea monster."

"Yes!"

A Xuan Master immediately took the order and left.

Standing aside, Lan Jiayao blinked her beautiful eyes and couldn't help but ask, "Did you kill that Xuan Master-level Black Scale Sea Monster?"

Cheng Han nodded lightly, not thinking it was a big deal, "Yes."

Lan Jiayao and Sima Nanshan exchanged glances, both with surprised expressions.

Sima Nanshan remembered something and laughed, "Hehe, some people in the war zone's courtyard should have nothing to say this time."

Many people had heard about the debate at the courtyard meeting back then.

The actions of the two deputy generals trying to mobilize the Sea Eagle and Fish Eagle Legions had indeed made the people under Cheng's command quite unhappy.

The major event that happened today is enough to prove that Cheng's request for the patrol of the ocean currents was an extremely wise decision.

Otherwise, if a powerful sea monster at the Xuan Master level successfully infiltrated the war zone, who knows what kind of trouble it would cause?

Lan Jiayao also smiled: "Deputy Chief Feng and Deputy Chief Zhang must have a very unpleasant expression on their faces."

The two names she mentioned were the newly appointed deputy chiefs, Feng Guangjun and Zhang Hanting.

Cheng Han cleared his throat and deliberately reminded them: "It's best for you two not to criticize the deputy chiefs!"

At his current position, he deeply understood that there would inevitably be various conflicts within each group. After all, no one is a saint, and everyone has their own interests and demands, so conflicts are bound to occur.

Lan Jiayao and Sima Nanshan were startled and quickly responded, "Understood!"

Cheng Han slowly spoke, "I am a deputy chief and have the responsibility of guarding the war zone. It is my duty to control conflicts to a certain extent and avoid causing greater internal divisions."

Lan Jiayao showed great respect, "You are the most outstanding commander!"

Not only did he have great strength and superb military talent, but he also took the overall situation into consideration. If this is not considered outstanding, then what is?

---

The sixth ocean current.

"Boom!"

Just as the giant water puppet created by Cai Kun exploded into countless chaotic currents.

Xuanshi from the external war zone, Zhong Sunwen, thought that he would most likely not escape this disaster today.

However...

To his surprise, apart from the surging currents that made the fish eagle sway, they did not suffer the expected terrible attack.

Zhong Sunwen glanced at the co-pilot Xuanshi and couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the enemy..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted.

"Buzz!"

The communication array suddenly hummed.

A loud voice sounded, "Deep Diving Fleet C16, listen up. Deputy Chief Cheng has taken action and killed the enemy. Immediately rescue the wounded and tow the sea monster back to the dock."

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

Zhong Sunwen was dumbfounded.

He had heard that Deputy Chief Cheng had obtained a treasure bestowed by the Divine City, but his strength was only at the level of a high-level Xuanshi, right?

Yet this person actually had the ability to kill a sea monster comparable to a Xuandu with a single strike?

Not long after...

Zhong Sunwen piloted the fish eagle and witnessed with his own eyes a salamander-like sea monster over fifty meters long being trapped in a huge fishing net.

Although this giant creature remained motionless, it still emitted an extraordinary fluctuation that was enough to make one's heart tremble.

This scene greatly shocked the Xuanshi from the external war zone.

The Xuanshi in the co-pilot position stared blankly at the corpse being dragged to the surface of the sea and muttered, "Damn, that's too powerful!"

Another Xuanshi couldn't help but ask, "How did Deputy Chief Cheng cultivate?"

No one answered.

No one knew the answer.

Zhong Sunwen looked up towards Lian Island and a deep sense of awe rose in his heart.
