Chapter 412

Heavenly Sacred Beast: You're only at the Nascent Soul stage, yet you can predict o

"strangeness!"

The rosy-cheeked, white-toothed boy that the Heavenly Azure Beast had transformed into was standing beside Zhou Yuan, his bright, lively eyes filled with surprise, and his brows furrowed tightly.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, because just now, he had spread his divine sense out without reservation.

The divine sense, like an invisible spider web, enveloped the surrounding area for dozens of miles, scanning it carefully again and again.

However, within his divine sense, he couldn't detect any other powerful demonic beasts, let alone high-level demonic beasts, he couldn't even sense a decent sea fish.

So, where did this sudden, deafening roar, which seemed to overturn the entire sea, come from? It makes no sense at all!

"Walk!"

However, Zhou Yuan seemed to have anticipated this strange phenomenon. There was no panic on his face; instead, he revealed a hint of excitement and anticipation.

He gave a low shout, and before the boy could think further, he took off into the air, his figure like an arrow released from a bow, speeding away from the reef. He flew for thousands of feet before finally stopping, turning around, and looking intently at the sea area where they had just stood.

Although the boy was full of doubts, seeing Zhou Yuan's serious expression, he dared not be negligent and quickly activated his escape light to follow closely behind.

It flew over and stood beside Zhou Yuan, looking back with the same curiosity.

The moment they left, something strange happened near the dark reef where they had been standing!

An indescribable sea breeze, carrying a strong, fishy stench, suddenly rose up and swept across the sea. The smell was so intense that it was as if thousands of rotting fish were piled up together.

At the same time, the previously calm sea surface nearby began to violently churn and boil, as if stirred by an invisible giant hand, forming countless whirlpools of varying sizes and depths, spinning wildly and making "gurgling" sounds.

Immediately afterwards, rows of towering waves, each over ten feet high, surged up one after another, then crashed into each other with a deafening roar.

Moreover, this strange phenomenon was not limited to the small area beneath their feet.

Under the divine sense detection of Zhou Yuan and the boy, they discovered that the sea surface within a hundred miles of them was in the same condition!

The entire sea seemed to boil, with howling winds and towering waves, a scene reminiscent of the apocalypse, inspiring awe and fear.

"What...what's going on?!"

Upon seeing this extraordinary phenomenon, the boy's face paled slightly. Although he had an extraordinary background, his cultivation was still shallow, and he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in the face of such a natural power that was beyond his comprehension.

Zhou Yuan did not answer, but pulled the boy back again, retreating even further, almost leaving the center of the storm.

Just as they regained their footing, an even more piercing and sharper scream, seemingly coming from the heavens above and the depths of the underworld, pierced through layers of space and clearly reached their ears!

The sound was extremely sharp, like an invisible steel needle piercing straight into a person's soul and consciousness, and could even directly affect a cultivator's divine sense!

Even with Zhou Yuan's powerful divine sense, which far surpassed that of other cultivators of the same level, he was momentarily dazed upon hearing the shrill cry. His mind went blank for a brief moment, and he swayed, almost falling headlong from the sky!

The boy beside him was even more pale and swaying, clearly having suffered a greater shock.

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, what...what on earth has happened?! Where have you taken me?!"

The boy finally regained his balance, patted his chest with lingering fear, turned to look at Zhou Yuan, and asked anxiously, his voice trembling with lingering shock.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Tianlan, there's no need to panic. A few years ago, I calculated the secrets of heaven and predicted that a great opportunity would descend upon this place today, which is why I specially brought you here to witness it."

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly, his face regaining its composure. He casually kept the matter a secret, as if the thrilling scene just now was merely a minor interlude.

"An opportunity? I think it's more like a great calamity..."

Upon hearing this, the boy couldn't help but roll his eyes and muttered something in an annoyed tone, clearly harboring serious doubts about the "opportunity" Zhou Yuan had mentioned.

He didn't want to risk his life for some vague and uncertain opportunity.

After saying that, he swayed and retreated more than ten miles away, keeping a safe distance, for fear of being caught in the ensuing battle.

Zhou Yuan smiled, not caring at all; naturally, he wouldn't dare linger in such a place.

After the two left the area, the scenery above the area underwent another astonishing change.

The originally gray sky was now obscured by a vast, boundless black shadow.

The area of ​​this dark shadow was so vast that it seemed to cover the entire sky.

But this dark shadow was unusually blurry, giving people a very unreal feeling, like the moon in the water or a flower in a mirror. It could be seen but not touched, as if it existed in another time and space, exuding an indescribable eeriness.

Zhou Yuan and the boy ran for more than twenty miles, feeling that they had left the core area of ​​that dangerous zone, before they dared to stop, turn around, and look around intently.

Suddenly, from within the massive black shadow in the distance, a large patch of blinding white light flashed, as if something was tearing space apart.

Immediately afterwards, a terrifying spatial rift appeared out of nowhere! The rift was pitch black and bottomless, as if it connected to another unknown world.

The next moment, an indescribably enormous creature slowly emerged from the spatial rift that shone with white light, and pressed down on the sea below with an irresistible majesty.

The colossal object that emerged from the spatial rift, though only the tip of the iceberg was revealed, was enough to make it clear that it was the claw of some kind of unprecedented, incredibly large demonic bird!

The claw was a deep turquoise color, shimmering with a cold metallic luster, and the exposed part alone was hundreds of feet long!

It was as if a towering mountain was slowly emerging from the crack in the void, bringing with it a suffocating sense of oppression.

However, the giant claw's movement as it emerged from the spatial rift appeared extremely laborious and slow, as if every inch it moved required immense effort to resist the repulsive force of the laws of this world.

Even so, before the giant claw was fully extended, the immense spiritual energy emanating from it alone had already stirred the waves below into even more ferocious frenzy. Thick water dragons surged into the sky, and towering waves hundreds of feet high were everywhere, as if the entire ocean was trembling.

Clearly, hidden within that enormous black shadow was an incredibly large ancient demonic bird!

Moreover, the true form of this demonic bird doesn't seem to be in this realm, but rather separated by an entire spatial barrier, as if it's about to launch an attack across realms! This kind of supernatural power is far beyond the comprehension of human cultivators.

Based on the proportions of this giant claw, it is roughly estimated that the true body of this demonic bird is at least several thousand feet long!

Such colossal creatures seem to have only been occasionally heard of in the legendary ancient and barbaric times; they have long since disappeared from the human world.

"This is... a soaring Kunpeng?!"

That boy truly lived up to his reputation as a wisp of the demon king from the upper realm; his vision and knowledge far surpassed those of cultivators in the human realm.

Although his cultivation level was not high at the moment, he was able to identify the origin of this giant bird that had crossed over from another world simply by looking at the claw that had emerged from the spatial rift, thanks to the memories inherited from his original body!

His voice was filled with disbelief and shock.

Soaring Kunpeng!

That is a legendary innate true spirit on the same level as the true dragon and the phoenix!

He is an existence standing at the very top of all realms, whose power far surpasses that of ordinary Mahayana cultivators. How could such a legendary being appear here?!

At the same time that giant claw appeared in the sky, the sea below also underwent even more drastic changes.

The already ferocious roar became even more violent, as if filled with endless rage and resentment.

Immediately afterwards, large swaths of eerie black mist suddenly appeared on the sea surface without any warning!

The black fog was incredibly thick, almost tangible. As soon as it appeared, it spread rapidly at an incredible speed, instantly covering the sea surface for more than ten miles in radius!

Zhou Yuan was extremely familiar with this black mist! It was none other than the "Ghost Mist," one of the three great natural disasters of the Chaotic Star Sea, a name that struck fear into the hearts of all!

According to what he learned from some ancient secrets, behind this ghostly mist is actually another terrifying being of the same True Spirit level—Rahu!

It was it that secretly stirred up trouble!

Sure enough, as the black mist spread, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of more than ten miles appeared on the sea surface, spinning wildly and emitting a deafening roar.

From the center of that vortex, a large amount of black mist was being spewed out, like a gaping maw leading to hell!

"Luo Hou... another True Spirit level being!" The boy's expression at this moment could no longer be described as shock; he was completely dumbfounded, his jaw almost dropping to the ground.

He never dreamed that in his lifetime, he would encounter two innate true spirits that he had only heard of in legends on the same day and in the same place!

Moreover, judging from this situation, the true bodies of these two spirits are not in this realm, but are engaged in an earth-shattering battle across vast distances of time and space!

This was completely beyond his imagination!

"How...how did he know? How could a mere Nascent Soul cultivator from the mortal realm have predicted this opportunity years in advance?!"

The boy gave Zhou Yuan, who stood beside him with his hands behind his back, a deep look in his eyes filled with unprecedented shock and disbelief.

He found himself increasingly unable to understand this human cultivator, and Zhou Yuan's image in his mind instantly became incredibly lofty and mysterious.

This cultivator from the human realm is truly extraordinary!

Just then, the giant Kunpeng claw in the sky suddenly swung downwards, and five extremely thick cyan beams of light shot out from the claw tip, tearing through the sky and carrying an aura of destruction, and fiercely shot into the sea below!

At the same time, the huge whirlpool on the sea surface suddenly flipped upwards, and endless black energy shot up from the center of the whirlpool, transforming into a gaping maw that seemed capable of swallowing the heavens and the earth, fearlessly meeting the five cyan pillars of light!

The abyssal maw formed of black mist suddenly snapped shut, swallowing the five incredibly powerful cyan beams of light whole!

Immediately afterwards, an even more terrifying energy surge erupted from the seabed, causing giant waves hundreds of feet high to rise on the surface of the sea, as if the end of the world had come!

A moment later, the spatial rift in the sky slowly closed and disappeared, and the huge black shadow also dissipated, and the sky returned to clarity.

The ghostly mist on the sea surface receded rapidly like the tide, and the huge whirlpool gradually calmed down. The sea surface returned to calm, as if nothing had happened, leaving only a messy sea surface.

The boy hadn't fully recovered from the shocking scene just now when he saw Zhou Yuan impatiently move, transforming into a streak of light and speeding towards the center of the sea where the two true spirits had just fought.

Curious, the boy quickly followed.

Zhou Yuan carefully searched the area above the sea, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He reached out and a beam of green light flew up from the seawater and landed in his palm.

The boy looked closely and discovered that Zhou Yuan had a feather about three feet long, unusually green, and emitting a hazy blue light in his hand!

The surface of this feather is incredibly smooth, shimmering with a mysterious metallic sheen.

Upon closer inspection, the patterns on the surface of the feathers were actually formed naturally by mysterious runes of various shapes and profound mysteries, as if it were a treasure containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

However, the only flaw is that a small section at the tip of the feather is charred, as if it had been burned by some extremely powerful force.

At the tip of the feather, however, there were a few faint traces of blood. The blood was not bright red, but shimmered with strands of golden light, radiating a chilling pressure!

"The feathers of the Heavenly Kunpeng?!"

The boy exclaimed in shock, his eyes widening in disbelief!

He never expected that Zhou Yuan would actually find such an incredible opportunity from the battle between those two True Spirit level experts!

These are feathers that fell from the body of the Heavenly Kunpeng!

It even had a trace of the essence blood of the soaring Kunpeng on it!

Such a treasure, even in the spirit realm, would be enough to cause a bloodbath, with countless powerful beings fighting tooth and nail for it!

He, a Nascent Soul cultivator, had actually been staking out this place for several years!

Moreover, he was actually able to foresee that such an unprecedented opportunity would occur several years later! This is simply unbelievable!

The boy's gaze towards Zhou Yuan completely changed.

A conjecture that even he himself found somewhat absurd arose in his mind:

Could it be that this Zhou Yuan is not a cultivator from the lower realms at all?

Could he also be a reincarnation of a powerful being from the upper realm, cultivating again?

Otherwise, how do you explain everything that happened today?!
