"Old fool, this is none of your business yet!"
The blue-robed middle-aged man in the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cast a technique, and his right hand transformed into an illusory large hand, reaching for the old man.
Just as the old man was about to grasp the Immortal Light Group, the illusory hand instantly struck him, sending him flying into the sea, raising waves upon waves.
At this moment, the other observing powerhouses became even more frenzied instead of being intimidated, seizing the gap left by the blue-robed man's attack, and dozens of people reached for the Immortal Light Group from all directions.
Seizing opportunities like this is just about grabbing it first, then fleeing.
They are all Great Power Cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm, and though their battle techniques may not match the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, their methods for escaping are countless.
As long as they get their hands on it, they all have ways to escape.
Seeing this, the blue-robed man's pupils contracted, and a surge of abundant Spiritual Power burst forth, rushing towards the Immortal Light with overwhelming force.
The blue-robed man was truly worthy of being a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm old monster, instantly blasting those opportunists away. The gap in cultivation level was on full display at this moment.
Just as the blue-robed man was about to succeed.
A sword light descended from the sky, and his pupils shrank as he had to retreat.
Wu Zhongkui, also at the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm, would never allow Wei Guang to have the treasure snatched right under his nose, especially within his sect's territory.
After repelling Wei Guang, Wu Zhongkui also reached for the Immortal Light. As long as he could get hold of the treasure first and rush back to the Bone Profound Sect, he would be safe.
This place was not far from the Bone Profound Sect, and once he successfully seized it, there would be sect members to support him.
After stabilizing his body, Wei Guang waved his hand, revealing a silver spear, transforming into a white light, and charged at Wu Zhongkui with terrifying Immortal Radiance!
The other Nascent Soul Cultivators also began a chaotic melee.
At that moment, the entire Ink Sea was in chaos, and cultivators below the Nascent Soul level didn't dare to approach, knowing that if there was only one treasure, they stood no chance in the snatch.
Even if they miraculously got it, they wouldn't have the means to escape with it.
Han Xiaopao stood with his arms crossed, observing the battlefield in front of him. Though he was also a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he had no intention of joining the fight.
Because the timing wasn't right yet.
Since there was only one treasure, he had to be extra careful. It would be great to seize it, but even if he didn't, he wouldn't risk his life. He was looking for a perfect opportunity.
Because he still had a Thousand-Mile Teleportation Talisman on him; once he found the chance, he could grab the treasure, activate the talisman, and transmit a thousand miles away to then find a small village or town to hide in.
Although Han Xiaopao couldn't beat a late-stage Nascent Soul, he was confident in his ability to escape.
He was waiting, waiting for the perfect opportunity!
.....
The chaotic battle at the Nascent Soul level caused the entire Ink Sea to churn endlessly, and countless Water Beasts in the sea fled.
Fortunately, it was over the sea. If such a large-scale battle occurred on land, many small sects would have been affected. As the saying goes, when Immortals fight, little devils suffer, illustrating precisely this scenario.
Han Xiaopao and the others had retreated several kilometers away.
Wu Zhongkui and Wei Guang were locked in a bloodied rage, using all sorts of trump cards, and the battlefield was now centered on the two of them, with everyone else already withdrawn from the fray.
The battle had reached a fever pitch, turning into an all-out exhibition match between two late-stage Nascent Souls.
.....
At this moment, Wei Guang spotted a tiny flaw in Wu Zhongkui's defense and thrust his spear.
The thrust reached the pinnacle of speed!
If the opponent dodged, he could snatch the treasure; if the opponent didn't, this spear would either kill or severely injure him.
Just as he was about to pierce Wu Zhongkui's chest, Wei Guang saw no inclination to dodge in the opponent's eyes, and he was alarmed inside: What's this madman trying to do?!
Wu Zhongkui slightly turned his body, avoiding the fatal spot, and swung his longsword at the adversary's arm.
He was in a bloodthirsty rage and wouldn't let Wei Guang take the treasure, even if it meant mutual destruction.
At this time, Wei Guang also tilted his body to dodge, but still, the Sword Qi slashed him.
He managed to stab Wu Zhongkui's shoulder too, and both were blasted dozens of meters away, severely injured.
Their faces were pale, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
Seeing this mutually destructive scene, Han Xiaopao, observing from the shadows, brightened up. He knew it was now his turn to act.
He was the only Nascent Soul Cultivator in full state; who could stop him now?
Just as he was about to make his move.
Boom—
A Divine Thunder descended from the sky.
Sometime before, black clouds had gathered above the sea, with divine lightning flickering within them.
The next second, a massive creature emerged from the black clouds, hovering in the void.
Its pupils were as deep as an abyss, stretching several kilometers long; its black scales glinted coldly, coiling in a long spiral, resembling both a dragon and a flood dragon—it was unclear what kind of creature it was.
With the appearance of this terrifying creature, everyone on the scene was stunned, showing fear on their faces.
Just a look from it made several early-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators tremble uncontrollably.
Han Xiaopao's pupils shrank upon seeing the creature, standing still, afraid to make a move.
Not to mention Han Xiaopao, even Wu Zhongkui and Wei Guang, the closest to the terrifying creature, were having their blood and energy tossed in the overwhelming aura, their internal organs quaking.
They wouldn't doubt that with just one look from this creature, they would shatter on the spot.
What... exactly is this creature?!
Han Xiaopao cried out in his heart, never having seen such a powerful blood force before; his Nascent Soul cultivation was as insignificant as an ant in its presence.
He instinctively wanted to flee, but found that under this immense pressure, his body couldn't move.
.....
This dragon-like creature seemed to disregard their existence.
It opened its mouth, swallowing the Immortal Light from the Stone Sect in one gulp, then ascended, vanishing into the void.
The next second, the sky returned to tranquility, as if the terrifying beast had never been there.
The treasure devoured by the beast was gone, and soon after, the protruding Stone Sect shattered into dust, and the sea returned to normal.
Everyone was still stuck in endless shock, unable to recover for a long time.
What realm had that terrifying creature reached?!
....
Meanwhile, Su Mu, who had been napping, sensed something, sat up from the chair.
Has Little Mahi found something good this quickly??
He slowly stood up and walked to the riverbank, spotting Little Mahi wagging its tail with something bulging in its mouth.
"Huh?"
"So soon?"
When Su Mu crouched down, Little Mahi opened its mouth and spat out what it held.
