Chapter 2042: An Unreliable Chicken

"Her?"

The dragon shark was taken aback: "Are you sure?"

The three brothers had managed to break through to the pseudo-god realm precisely because the deity summoned by Du Qingyuan had dripped a few drops of blood.

"I dispatched over a hundred thousand subordinates to scout everywhere, and I can be one hundred percent certain!" said the large catfish.

"So what if she can summon a deity? I saw what happened back then—that deity had barely entered the Upper Firmament before tearing through space and going elsewhere, never to reappear! As long as the deity isn't here, we're all pseudo-gods. When we fight, who wins and who loses is still up in the air!"

The dragon shark snorted coldly.

"Big Brother is right! This is the Abandoned Continent. If a deity comes here, they'll be infected and their strength will drop! That's why, except for the Temple, no deity comes here. Even if the Star Chasing Palace can communicate with them, they can't make a deity come and fight for them!"

The dragon shark on the second throne said, "In that case, what's there to fear? No matter how strong the Star Chasing Palace master is, she's just one person. The three of us brothers can kill her easily!"

"Heaven allowed us three brothers to break through, which means fortune has already appeared in the ocean. We must not boost the morale of others and deflate our own! The era of the ocean is about to arrive. For every fish they hunt, we'll hunt one of their humans! Let them know that the ocean cannot be bullied!"

The dragon shark on the third throne said.

"Cannot be bullied!"

In an instant, the atmosphere was ignited. Countless immortal and saint-level shrimp, octopuses, crabs, razor clams... writhed incessantly, extremely excited.

For thousands of years, humans had established six major sects and ruled the world. Marine creatures no longer dared to land recklessly; otherwise, they would be killed at best or have their clans exterminated at worst... Now, they finally had pseudo-god-level experts to protect them, so there was no need to worry anymore!

"Star Chasing Palace master?"

Zhang Xuan, hiding behind, frowned.

The Star Chasing Palace was founded by the alien spirit race. Since Luo Ruoxin was their spirit god... being summoned was perfectly normal!

If his previous guesses were all correct, this so-called palace master had summoned the spirit god to descend. The spirit god Luo Ruoxin, upon arriving in the Upper Firmament, had entered the Master Teacher Continent and seized the Spring and Autumn Ceremony...

"It seems... to know everything, this place isn't the key. That palace master named Du Qingyuan is the crucial point!"

He had guessed that the Divine Blood Stone might be related to Luo Ruoxin and rushed here, only to realize now that he had gone in the wrong direction.

Du Qingyuan, as the summoner, how could she not know who Luo Ruoxin was and where she was?

To find the most accurate information, seeking her out and asking clearly would leave no doubts!

"Let's go back first..."

Having confirmed this, Zhang Xuan no longer lingered.

Not to mention the three pseudo-god immortal beasts inside, even the hundreds of immortal monarch-level ones were beyond his ability to contend with!

The purpose of seeking the Divine Blood was to confirm whether Luo Ruoxin had come to the Upper Firmament and where she had gone... Since he could learn this information from that palace master's mouth, there was no need to stay any longer!

After all, it was too dangerous. Although he was bold and skilled, he wasn't foolish enough to seek death.

He shrank back, about to swim out of the cave, when suddenly he felt the spiritual energy churning inside. A tremendous force rippled outward, and the pendant around his neck tightened abruptly, emitting a scorching heat.

He quickly turned his head and saw the dragon-shark on the first throne. Its thick tail flicked lightly, and a drop of crimson blood appeared before all the immortal and sacred beasts.

The blood was only the size of a sesame seed, not quite a full drop, yet it radiated astonishing power, as if it contained an entire world. If released, the entire ocean would be unable to bear it and would boil over.

"This is divine blood..."

The dragon-shark floated up and looked around: "We three brothers swallowed this very thing to advance to demigods! As long as you remain loyal, we brothers will not be stingy!"

"Rest assured, Great King, we will be utterly loyal and never disobey!"

Seeing the divine blood appear, the many immortal beasts grew entranced, roaring excitedly.

The blood of a true god—a single drop could allow one to冲击 demigod... It held immense allure for any living being.

Seeing the beasts' reactions, the dragon-shark nodded in satisfaction.

With overwhelming strength and the promise of hope, his subordinates would surely remain loyal and dare not rebel.

"So those who have reached the demigod realm are indeed not to be underestimated..."

Previously, the Xuanbei Turtle, Sect Master Kuixiao, and Bai Xuanzheng had all fallen for tricks. This dragon-shark also skillfully wielded methods to control subordinates. It seemed that reaching the demigod realm strengthened not only one's power but also one's cunning, which could not be ignored.

"Let's go!"

Although he wanted to investigate the specific properties of the divine blood, it was in the hands of the Jiaosha; given his strength, he definitely couldn't obtain it, and there was no need to take risks. Zhang Xuan was about to turn and leave when he heard an enraged voice suddenly explode.

"Who!"

Boom!

The tremendous sound, like thunder, shook the entire cave, causing it to tremble continuously as if it might collapse at any moment. Then three extremely powerful auras spread out, as if about to tear through space and rend the sky.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Xuan frowned.

He had been suppressing his aura the entire time. Under normal circumstances, even if the opponent were a Pseudo-God realm expert, they shouldn't have detected him—if they had, they would have noticed long ago. Why, just as he was about to leave, did this happen?

Filled with doubt, he quickly turned his head. The moment he looked, Zhang Xuan's scalp nearly exploded.

He saw that the drop of divine blood that had been suspended before the beasts had vanished without a trace. The entire cave, all the immortal beasts and sacred beasts, had fallen into chaos.

The three Pseudo-God realm shark-dragons were especially enraged, their powerful energy surging in all directions, as if they wanted to tear the thief who stole the blood into pieces.

"Over there..."

Suddenly, an immortal beast cried out, and immediately a stream of water shot straight toward the top of the cave, striking the rock wall and sending碎石 flying.

Following the water stream, Zhang Xuan looked up and swayed, nearly falling off the rock wall.

Not far away, at the corner of the wall, a little yellow chicken was clumsily flailing in the water, swimming while burping, the power of divine blood surging within its body. Clearly, that drop had been secretly swallowed by this little rascal...

"If you want to die, don't drag me with you..."

Feeling somewhat exasperated, Zhang Xuan didn't dare hesitate. He turned and fled.

This guy was way too unreliable!

Hundreds of Immortal Lord-level beasts, three Pseudo-Gods... boldly running over to swallow someone's divine blood in broad daylight—wasn't that asking for death?

"Master, wait for me..."

Before he had gone far, the little yellow chicken's voice rang out, and the next moment...

It had already arrived beside him.

"The divine blood's power is too strong; I can't handle it. I can't run anymore, I need to rest for a while..."

Whoosh!

Before it could finish speaking, its body arched, and the little yellow chicken dove straight into the pet bag.

"..."

Looking at the dumbfounded immortal beasts and his own exposed figure, Zhang Xuan felt like crying.

How did he end up with such an unreliable partner?

You just go to sleep, but what the hell am I supposed to do?

"Flee!"

Furious to the point of exploding, he wished he could take that idiot out and roast it for a meal.

But he knew this wasn't the time to lose his temper. Without hesitation, he activated the Heavenly Way Movement Technique and turned to escape.

If he didn't flee now, he'd lose his life...

"Seize him!"

"A human dares to come here and steal divine blood? You're asking for death!"

"Chop him into meat paste and feed the dogs!"

"Don't feed the dogs, that's a waste. Feed me..."

With roars erupting one after another, all the immortal beasts went mad.

They had just sworn to kill humans and drive them out of the sea, and now someone had not only infiltrated their lair but also stolen the divine blood. Their rage was about to explode.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless forces exploded around him. Zhang Xuan's scalp tingled, and he wanted to cry as he dodged and charged outward.

He had just come to take a look, to be a bystander...

The divine blood really wasn't taken by me...

"Come as you please, leave as you please—if that were the case, where would our prestige be!"

The Jiao Shark was also utterly enraged.

The blue-gray shark on the third throne let out a roar, its tail curling sharply, and in an instant, it appeared before Zhang Xuan like a teleport, blocking his path.

Although Zhang Xuan's Heavenly Way Movement Technique was powerful, it was hindered in the water and couldn't reach its maximum speed, especially against a Pseudo-God realm beast that had lived in the sea all its life!

In front of this opponent, his speed advantage was completely nullified!

"Die!"

Appearing before him, the Jiao Shark's thick tail lashed out violently, sending majestic power rolling down, causing space to collapse. It seemed that if he were hit, even with his cultivation at the early Immortal Lord stage, he wouldn't be able to withstand it!

A Pseudo-God realm expert skilled in offense was indeed more than twice as powerful as the Xuanbei Turtle!

Zhang Xuan was filled with anxiety.

He had thought the Xuanbei Turtle was fast, but now he realized that compared to this opponent, it was as slow as a snail.

No wonder Elder Fengqian had said that this big fellow wasn't fast in the sea—it was in comparison to other marine life!

He glanced down; below, countless Immortal Lord-level immortal beasts were packed densely, unknown in number. Behind him, two Pseudo-God Jiao Sharks also rose into the air, murderous intent radiating.

He had reacted quickly and was not slow, but this was the enemy's lair. In less than a breath, he was already surrounded, making escape nearly impossible.

"Out!"

The situation was critical, leaving no time for thought. He flicked his fingers.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Five peak Immortal Lord-level longswords appeared before him.

Pointing upward, the five swords, imbued with divine sword intent, immediately stabbed toward the rock ceiling above.

The Jiao Shark's attack was too strong; he definitely couldn't take it head-on. If he failed to block it, he would be forced into the cave, losing the best chance to escape, and then it would be impossible to leave!

So...

At this moment, to escape, he had to use another method!

Ahead and behind were Pseudo-God Jiao Sharks; below and to the sides were Immortal Lord-level immortal beasts... The only way out was the wall above!

If he could bore a hole, he could enter the canyon and, with the help of the dense vegetation, make a clean getaway!

After all, his size was negligible compared to these massive marine creatures. As long as he got out of here, used camouflage to hide, and wasn't discovered, there was still some hope!
