Chapter 1627 - 826: Ancient Sea God
Li Yan’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He only followed Hook Paper instinctively, letting it devour these strange minerals.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected surprise occurred.
He didn’t know much about the Daluo Law Realm, only vaguely guessed that it was similarly troubled by Human Dao reforms and the constraints of Heavenly Rules. Even a True God of Immortal Master Erlang’s level had to be cautious in many matters.
Ever since he showed him those ancient relics, there had been no contact.
Even more delighting, all the while, was this Hook Paper.
Since going out to sea, the sensing had become very faint, unable to summon Yin Department Soldiers, equivalent to losing an ace in the hole.
Could it be that these minerals can strengthen Hook Paper’s sensing?
Before he could think further, the situation changed again.
Buzz!
Seemingly sensing Immortal Master Erlang’s aura, the surrounding vibrations suddenly halted.
Meanwhile, those Sea Monks on the water surface became chaotic, anxious and frantic.
"Roar—!"
With the roar of the Red-skinned Leader, they steadied their stance, looking at Li Yan in unison, their eyes turning blood red.
Like dense red lanterns suddenly appearing in the dark mist, yet none wanted to go ashore.
Li Yan was puzzled, could it be these creatures intended to stare him to death?
"Roar—!"
The Red-skinned Leader roared again, all the Sea Monks looked up to the sky and howled.
Their voices merged together, grand and rhythmic, very much like the scriptures chanted during the earlier ritual.
Li Yan felt a stuffiness in his chest, and then his body became stiff.
The surrounding Water Qi seemed to instantaneously turn into hard ice, freezing him completely.
What a powerful curse!
Li Yan, though caught off guard, was far from panicked.
Swish~
With a thought, the Soul-hooking Thunder Lock whizzed out.
Two crackling thunderbolts entwined his body, which then expanded into a Thunder God General.
North Yin Fengdu Divine Transformation Technique, Thunder God Transformation!
Once the transformation was complete, the cold curse lingering around was instantly dispelled.
Li Yan immediately deactivated the transformation.
This was a minor trick he had been pondering since encountering Sha Lifei’s remote Earth Immortal curse, putting them in peril.
As for others, he hadn’t thought of them yet, but he could use this technique to lift the curse himself.
Thunder God Transformation has a time limit and won’t be used till a critical moment.
But just using the transformation to remove a curse didn’t consume much.
"Roar—!"
Many Sea Monks twisted in agony and roared from spell backlash.
Li Yan paid them no heed and moved towards another reef.
He pressed Hook Paper against a glowing mineral, quickly extracting the Astral Bane Energy from it, with Immortal Master Erlang’s aura rippling like waves.
Wherever he went, the reef trembled instinctively.
"It really is so," Li Yan thoroughly confirmed in his heart.
The Qi contained within those glowing minerals was ancient and chilling, connected to the depths’ will.
Though Immortal Master Erlang’s Qi was but a leftover thread in Hook Paper, it was like scorching the snow, creating an instinctual dread.
The Daluo Law Realm, converged from Human World faith, feared this taboo object lingering in the Human World. What it feared most was the traces of Dharma Realm True God.
Therefore, they hid, letting their subordinates, the Sea Monks, act.
In dealing with this evil, naturally, no mercy could be shown.
Li Yan kept moving around, Hook Paper shone brilliantly, frantically absorbing the energy within.
Cracks spread across the mineral’s surface, its glow dimming visibly.
Rumble!
A deep rumble came from beneath the reef, as if a massive creature flipped over in the seabed.
"Roar—!"
The red Sea Monks let out sharp cries, sound waves striking like tangible force.
Li Yan dodged, completely unaffected.
He vaguely guessed that the thing below hesitated too.
Both fearing Immortal Master Erlang’s aura and reluctant to give up these precious minerals.
Hook Paper absorbed with triple the speed; minerals continued to shatter.
Reef altar violently shook, muddy seawater spurted from cracks, mingled with a strong stench.
At this moment, sudden changes occurred.
The red Sea Monks raised their heads and howled, all Sea Monks responded in unison.
No longer maintaining the ritual stance, they turned to face Li Yan, hundreds of eyes glowed green in the mist.
The next instant, these creatures moved.
"Boom—"
Huge bodies thumped on the reef, the ground trembled.
They rushed at the reef, each massive and heavy body, akin to heavy cavalry.
Many reefs shattered directly.
With their charge, the entire sea region boiled.
The sea surface exploded with countless sprays.
Sea snakes as thick as wrists shot onto reefs like arrows, venomous fangs dripping corrosive liquid...
Fist-sized fluorescent poisonous jellyfish floated in groups, tentacles sizzling against the reef surface...
Bizarre squids sprayed ink, and tiny parasitic Gu Worms swam in the ink...
And countless strange fish, poisonous crabs, worms full of bone spikes...
As if all toxins from the sea had been driven over, surging onto the reef altar with the giant waves.
No wonder these creatures were notoriously terrifying; if a regular fleet encountered such a situation, they’d likely be wiped out.
Nonetheless, Li Yan still ignored them and focused on using Hook Paper to extract mineral energy.
"Over there!"
Just then, Sha Lifei’s shout echoed from the thick mist.
On the sea, a small warship sliced through waves.
At the bow stood Lv San, Situ Hua, Wu Ba, and others, along with several bed crossbows.
This small warship was carried by Sea Suppression, intended for exploring narrow waterways.
Onboard were piles of Kuai Dayou’s specially designed "Blast Fire Crows". This weapon was shaped like a sparrow, with a thin iron shell filled with gunpowder, Thunder God Ink, vermillion, realgar, and other evil-banishing substances. The tail had a bamboo rotor, which when ignited, allowed short-distance gliding bombing.
