Chapter 123 Success
"not good!"
The blue-robed cultivator was shocked. His body shone brightly, and he pushed his magic power to the limit. A golden shield in front of him suddenly expanded to tens of feet, trying to block the opponent's spatial devouring ability.
However, the shield phantom, which was only a few dozen feet long, was far too weak compared to the opponent's hundred-foot-long maw. The vortex in the mouth of the mutated whale suddenly accelerated its rotation, and an even greater suction force came from it.
The blue-robed cultivator only had time to let out a short, desperate roar. His protective scale shield flashed wildly but quickly dimmed. He and the magical shield were sucked into the abyss-like maw without any resistance, like dust thrown into a black hole.
The giant jaws closed, and a thunderous roar echoed across the sea, sending up towering waves before the massive shadow slowly sank into the water.
Liu Kun and his remaining companion stared in disbelief, their backs tingling with cold. Any lingering hope they had was utterly shattered, leaving only endless chill and lingering fear.
They dared not have any further improper thoughts, and even concealed their aura to the extreme, for fear of attracting the slightest attention from that terrifying being.
In the blink of an eye, after the whale-kun devoured the huge commotion created by the blue-robed cultivator, its temporary submersion caused violent turbulence in the seawater, briefly disrupting the already violent and chaotic spiritual energy field in the core area of Tianfeng and the attention of all living beings!
Luo Ming, who had been lurking near the water and concealed by the Xuan Turtle Breathing Technique, was waiting for just such a fleeting moment of chaos!
"Now is the time!"
Luo Ming's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and without the slightest hesitation, he activated the Wind-Escape Shuttle, which he had been preparing for a long time.
He flashed into the shuttle, which trembled slightly and then transformed into a pale blue breeze that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye. Instead of rushing straight up, he cleverly merged into a turbulent airflow that was being pushed towards the Wind Spirit Essence by the impact of the whale breaking through the water!
"Whoosh—!"
A gentle breeze swept past, moving faster than any living being present could react. Almost before the spray from the whale's gaping maw reached its peak, the Wind-Escape Shuttle, transformed into a wisp of wind, appeared ghost-like within ten feet of the still-nimble, flickering wind spirit!
The timing was absolutely perfect!
Luo Ming knew the limits of the Wind-Escape Shuttle and understood that he only had one chance to act. Without hesitation, he patted his storage pouch at his waist, and the Thousand Demon Banner flew out effortlessly, unfurling instantly without any wind!
Unlike his usual release of demonic souls and black energy, this time, Luo Ming directly activated the "Netherworld Devouring Void" divine power of the Thousand Demon Banner. With his Core Formation stage magic power, it was far more powerful than when he controlled it against Dongmen Tu!
On the pitch-black surface of the Thousand Demon Banner, countless tiny runes suddenly lit up, intertwining to form a deep, rotating vortex phantom.
An invisible and intangible force, yet specifically targeting spirits, ignored the interference of the raging wind and precisely enveloped that wield of wind spirit essence!
The wind spirit seemed to sense the danger, its blue light flashing as it tried to break free from the restraints.
However, the special characteristic of "Netherworld Devouring Void" is that it locks onto spirituality. Given the close proximity, it was firmly grasped by that irresistible suction force after only escaping a few feet!
"receive!"
Luo Ming let out a low shout, and his magical power surged wildly. The Wind Spirit struggled, transformed into a stream of light, and was pulled into the spinning silver vortex on the surface of the Thousand Demon Banner with a "whoosh," disappearing from sight.
A flash of silver light appeared on the banner, and no matter when or where, ( ) will always be your most loyal reading companion. It then returned to complete darkness, with only a faint glimpse of a blue light slowly moving within. The essence of the wind spirit was suppressed and sealed by the combined power of the demonic soul within the banner and the spatial restrictions.
succeed!
Luo Ming was overjoyed, but his movements didn't falter in the slightest, nor did he even glance at the scene. The instant the Wind Spirit Essence was collected, he activated the Wind-Escape Shuttle with all his might, unleashing all the remaining spiritual power of the mid-grade Wind Spirit Stone in one go!
The Wind-Escape Shuttle emitted a soft hum, and the pale blue breeze suddenly became ethereal, increasing its speed by another three points.
Instead of fleeing in a straight line, it used the chaotic air currents around it to trace an unpredictable and winding trajectory, heading in the opposite direction from Liu Kun and the others, and far away from the area where the whale might surface!
The entire process, from the moment the attack was made to the moment the fleeing enemy, took only two or three breaths!
It wasn't until the strange breeze disappeared into the distant horizon and the raging wind that Liu Kun and his companions suddenly realized what had happened, their faces filled with shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
"That was... someone took advantage of the situation and stole the Wind Spirit Essence?!" the cultivator carrying the longsword exclaimed.
Liu Kun's face was gloomy, his eyes fixed on the direction where Luo Ming disappeared. He tried his best to scan the area with his divine sense, but only caught a trace of a rapidly dissipating magical artifact with a special wind attribute, as well as a very faint remnant of spiritual energy that seemed somewhat familiar.
A sharp glint flashed in Liu Kun's eyes. "The aura this person just unleashed was only at the early stage of Core Formation. I didn't expect him to possess such a powerful magic weapon. Could he be some young master from the demonic path?"
At this moment, beneath the sea surface, the mutated whale-kun seemed to have also sensed the disappearance of the Wind Spirit Essence, letting out a deep and angry roar that stirred up undercurrents in the sea, but ultimately did not surface again.
Having lost its primary target, the demonic bird would no longer linger there. In addition, having just devoured a Core Formation cultivator and a Riftwind Beast, it still needed to digest its food. It seemed to have temporarily lost interest in continuing its rampage of hunting, and the enormous shadow began to slowly move towards the deep sea.
Liu Kun knew that tracking Luo Ming was no longer possible. The speed of that wind-escape magic artifact was too fast, and the other party was obviously prepared in advance, taking an unpredictable route.
The most urgent task is to continue monitoring the movements of the whale and Kun, await the arrival of Senior Tian Wuzi, and at the same time report today's events, especially the possibility that the mysterious cultivator may possess the inheritance of the Azure Nether True Man.
He glanced at his still-shaken companion beside him, then looked at the horizon where Luo Ming had disappeared, thinking to himself, "The outer seas have been getting increasingly turbulent lately."
Meanwhile, hundreds of miles away, Luo Ming, having confirmed that he had completely shaken off any tracking and surveillance, did not stop.
Instead, it replaced the wind-attribute spirit stones in the Wind-Escape Shuttle and continued to fly away into the distance, changing direction several times along the way, until it had traveled tens of thousands of miles away and exhausted the mid-grade wind spirit stones in its hands, at which point it stopped its flight.
Immediately afterward, a flash of light appeared in front of him, and the enormous body of the Xuan Turtle appeared. Then, Luo Ming sank into the water and slowly moved towards Qiyuan Island.
"Misfortune and fortune are intertwined; wealth can be found in danger... The ancients were truly wise!"
Luo Ming sat cross-legged on the back of the Xuan Turtle, eagerly summoning the Thousand Demon Banner and taking out the trapped Wind Spirit Essence from it, and said with a smile.
