Long Chen stood on the splint, calmly watching these ferocious sea monsters. He realized that the sea monster aura here was different from the one he had encountered.
At the same realm, their power was even greater than the sea demons encountered by the Seventh Academy. Their runes flickered, allowing them to unleash various divine abilities.
Most of the sea demons Long Chen had encountered before only fought with their bodies, but here the sea demons could unleash various divine powers.
Water arrows intertwined with divine light, roaring forward, their power not to be underestimated. Moreover, the runes on their bodies flickered and flickered, startling Long Chen slightly.
"It can actually absorb the power of heaven and earth to fight?"
You have to know, the sea demon Long Chen encountered had exhausted all its energy and needed to return to the deep sea to recuperate and replenish his strength.
But these sea demons before him actually knew how to absorb the power of heaven and earth, which was already somewhat similar to the human cultivation methods. It seemed that different regions had different ways of cultivating sea monsters.
Inside the cabin, everyone hid together in terror, while Long Chen stood alone on the deck, quietly observing the sea monsters.
As they drew closer, the sea monsters erupted with tsunami waves, rushing toward the giant ship from all directions. Their eyes were cold and merciless, staring fixedly at the people on board, as if sharks had smelled blood.
Many demon beasts eat people not for the flesh and blood, but for the essence, energy, and spirit within the body.
The demon pills of demon beasts are treasures to humans, and for demon beasts, humans are like walking pills. Eating them brings them tremendous benefits, especially for powerful people, the greater the benefits.
Endless demon beasts stretch endlessly in the night, stretching endlessly in the sky, both in the sky and in the water. They let out strange roars and charged forward.
"Boom!"
Countless runes lit up on the giant ship, like a sun/sun appearing, illuminating the sky. In that instant, despair filled everyone. Wherever the light reached, demon beasts filled the space, and millions of miles of space, densely packed with beasts, had already surrounded the giant ship.
"How dare you be a beast of demons! You dare to block the merchant ships of Longteng Trading Company?" Kill him! An aged voice snorted coldly.
The flying boat trembled, and countless lightsabers shot out. The sea monsters' bodies were pierced through, and brown runes appeared on their bodies, as if filled with dust and ash. Struck by the lightsabers, these fierce sea monsters died one after another.
"Earth overcomes water. Longteng Trading Company has long had experience."
Although Long Chen didn't understand formations well, he could tell that the giant ship's attacks carried earth attribute runes, while sea monsters were ninety-nine percent water-attributed. When countered, these runes were almost deadly poison.
"Buzz!"
The demon pills inside the slain sea demons were pulled out of their corpses by some force, landing inside the giant ship.
It turned out this giant ship also had a hunting function. Besides collecting some shipping fees, it could also hunt while earning some extra income.
Long Chen saw that although there were many sea monsters, none were truly powerful. The strongest were only a few half-step Realm King-level beings, posing no threat to the flying vessel at all.
The corpses of Immortal King-level beasts were no longer useful to Long Chen. Now, in his chaotic space, a massive number of beast corpses had been stored.
These were all spoils from the last great battle, most of which were half-step Realm King level beings. Half a month ago, the Jianmu Divine Tree had already grown to a height of ninety thousand li, bearing a ninth-rank Jianmu Divine Fruit, which had reached its peak.
As for the Demon-Eyed Water Lily, Long Chen had cultivated ten thousand plants, all of which had reached the third tier. Not only could they provide Long Chen with lotus seeds, but their vitality was equally impressive. The vitality provided by these ten thousand Demon-Eyed Water Lilies was almost half that of all the Jianmu Divine Trees.
Long Chen stockpiled these corpses just in case. If a fierce battle required a huge amount of vitality, these corpses could save lives.
Long Chen had expected a powerful sea demon to appear, so he collected some corpses while he was at it, since Longteng Trading Company only accepted demon pills and discarded corpses directly.
But these sea monsters were too low-level, which was dispensable to Long Chen. Ever since advancing to the Divine Lord Realm, the chaotic space had grown larger, and his appetite seemed to have grown, making him more picky eaters. The life energy produced from the decomposition of Immortal King-level corpses began to decrease, so Long Chen had little interest in these sea monster corpses.
The giant ship sped through the sea monsters' attacks. Seeing the people from Longteng Trading Company, they remained calm and gradually lost their fear, flocking to the deck to watch the sea monsters.
After all, this is the Sea of Demons, and the sea monsters in the Sea of Demons exude fierce demonic energy. Watching the battle up close is a way to test their courage.
There were too many people on the deck. Long Chen watched for a long time but didn't see any terrifying sea monsters, so he couldn't be bothered to look and returned to the cabin to rest.
But the Baifang siblings knew this was a rare opportunity and squeezed onto the deck with everyone to watch the sea monster up close.
Long Chen originally wanted to stop them and let them stay by his side, but then he thought, he couldn't take care of them for a lifetime, and since they needed to get stronger, he let them be.
The giant ship marched for three days, killing for three days. Relying on the grand formation, the giant ship carved out a bloody path through the endless sea monsters.
Although the consumption was high, the gains were also enormous. According to Long Chen's estimate, the gains from Longteng Trading Company over these three days were astonishing.
Moreover, they are merchants who know how to use treasures where they matter, allowing them to gain greater benefits than others.
On the third day, Long Chen noticed something unusual about Bai Fang and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?" "
It's nothing, just a bit disappointing. These sea monsters are so terrifying. Once they enter Purple Flame Heaven, the competition they'll face will be even fiercer." Bai Fang forced a smile, a complicated look deep in his eyes.
"Actually, there's no need to be so pessimistic. People have good and bad sides; what matters is how to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil."
Once we enter Ziyan Heaven, I'll see if I can pull some strings to find you a place to stay. Long Chen said with a smile.
As for these two siblings, Long Chen planned to settle them in Huayun Trading Company. Both were kind-hearted, and he believed Huayun Trading Company wouldn't refuse.
Bai Fang quickly thanked him, but Long Chen sensed something strange in Bai Fang's eyes, though he didn't want to ask further.
Three days passed, and the seawater had turned pitch black. Most importantly, the water here was no longer calm. Long Chen could feel it slowly flowing, as if a flowing black tie was forming in this endless ocean, separating the two worlds.
Suddenly, Long Chen felt a jolt in his heart. He hurriedly stepped out of the cabin and gazed into the distance. Then he witnessed a horrifying scene: in the distance, a massive vortex appeared, as if a mouth was about to swallow heaven and earth. The mighty ship, before it, seemed as insignificant as dust.
Staring at the massive vortex, Long Chen suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, and a strong sense of danger welled up in his heart.
Just as Long Chen was about to warn the Longteng Trading Company to stay away from the whirlpool, he suddenly saw a pair of eyes staring at him. That person was the elder in charge of the giant ship, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"Not good!"
Long Chen was shocked. Suddenly, the runes on the lower and middle decks of the giant ship lit up. Long Chen was involuntarily teleported out, and the direction he was sent was unmistakably the center of the vortex.
