...
"I have a very important batch of goods to be shipped overseas. Are there still any ships that dare to take that route now?"
Hearing Luo Nan's question, the smile on the teahouse owner's face instantly froze.
He instinctively shrank his neck.
"Oh my, my dear Young Master, you must absolutely not court that bad luck!"
The owner lowered his voice, his tone filled with fear.
"That is not some sea monster at all; that is simply a punishment sent down by the Sea God!"
"To be honest with you, that is a gigantic black dragon whose size is like a mountain!"
The owner swallowed nervously and continued speaking:
"Not only can that black dragon summon wind and rain and stir up monstrous waves, but the black flames it spews out can even ignite seawater!"
"A few days ago, a top mercenary group led by multiple Spirit Douluos refused to believe it and insisted on escorting a merchant ship across."
"As a result, guess what happened?"
"What happened?" Luo Nan played along at the right time.
"The entire army was wiped out!"
The owner slapped his thigh and said with a pale face,
"It is said that at that time, a passing Titled Douluo lord happened to want to make a move to subdue that black dragon."
"As a result, that high-and-mighty Titled Douluo lord was actually swatted into a blood mist by a single tail sweep from that black dragon, and even his Martial Soul True Body was shattered!"
"That death was truly miserable!"
"Now the docks of the entire Vast Sea City are blockaded. Let alone going to that route, even the fishing boats going out to sea to fish dare not venture far."
"Even if you give more money, absolutely no captain would dare to joke with his life!"
After listening to the owner's narration, a trace of understanding flashed through Luo Nan's eyes.
"I see... Even a Titled Douluo can be killed in a single strike. It seems the intelligence is correct; this is definitely a super Spirit Beast of the hundred-thousand-year level."
Luo Nan calculated inwardly.
Since no ships could go, Luo Nan naturally would not force it.
For ordinary people or ordinary Spirit Masters, having no ship meant being unable to cross the vast sea.
But for Luo Nan, this could hardly be considered any difficult problem at all.
"Since there are no ships, I can only ride my Spirit there." The corners of Luo Nan's mouth curled into a confident arc.
The distance of three hundred nautical miles might take some time for ordinary ships.
But for the Golden Sacred Dragon flying at full speed, it was merely a journey of a few hours.
Having made up his mind, Luo Nan did not stay long in the teahouse, settled the bill, and left directly.
That night, it was pitch dark with a high wind.
By the cliff outside Vast Sea City, the sea breeze howled, and the waves slammed frantically against the reefs, emitting a deafening roar.
Luo Nan stood facing the wind, took a deep breath of the salty, fishy sea breeze, and burning Battle Intent flashed in his eyes.
"Come out, my old friend!"
Luo Nan let out a low shout, and the vigorous Soul Power within his body surged out like a roaring river.
In an instant, an extremely brilliant and dazzling golden light soared into the sky from within his body, instantly illuminating the entire night sky!
"Roar—!"
Accompanied by a piercing, high-pitched dragon roar filled with endless majesty,
a gigantic divine dragon over fifty meters long, covered entirely in brilliant scales that looked like they were cast from gold, appeared out of thin air directly above Luo Nan's head.
In its dragon eyes, which resembled two golden scorching suns, radiated the imperial dominance of looking down upon the world.
It was precisely Luo Nan's Spirit, the Golden Sacred Dragon!
Luo Nan leaped forward and landed steadily on the wide back of the Golden Sacred Dragon.
"Let's go! Target, three hundred nautical miles due east!"
Luo Nan pointed a finger, and the Golden Sacred Dragon let out a joyful dragon roar, its massive dragon wings violently flapping to whip up a violent hurricane.
Man and dragon transformed into a golden meteor, instantly tearing through the night sky and galloping toward the depths of the vast sea.
The flying speed of the Golden Sacred Dragon was extremely fast, and the wind by their ears whistled past like cutting knives.
Under the illumination of the moonlight, the sea surface below shimmered with rippling light, resembling a huge piece of black satin.
After flying for a little over three hours, Luo Nan keenly perceived that the surrounding environment began to change.
The sea surface, which had been fairly calm just a moment ago, had now become turbulent with raging winds.
At some unknown time, thick black dark clouds had gathered in the sky, completely obscuring the moonlight.
The entire sea area fell into absolute darkness where one could not see one's fingers in front of one's face.
The air was permeated with an extremely oppressive and suffocating dark aura, and even the seawater faintly presented a strange ink-black color.
"We have arrived. This is the place."
Luo Nan patted the neck of the Golden Sacred Dragon, signaling it to slow down.
Just as Luo Nan had approached the core area marked on the map, a sudden change occurred!
"Rumble—!"
On the originally pitch-black sea surface, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of over one hundred meters suddenly burst open without warning.
Following closely behind, an extremely terrifying dragon power filled with endless tyranny and destruction aura,
erupted boisterously from the deep bottom of the sea like a volcanic eruption, shooting straight into the clouds!
The strength of this dragon power even caused the Golden Sacred Dragon beneath Luo Nan to emit an uneasy low roar.
"Splash—!"
Accompanied by earth-shattering water splashes, an incomparably massive black shadow,
like a black missile breaking out of the sea, carrying the terrifying power to destroy heaven and earth, smashed fiercely straight toward Luo Nan and the Golden Sacred Dragon in mid-air!
"Such fast speed!" Luo Nan's pupils violently constricted.
Taking advantage of the lightning flashes occasionally passing through the sky, Luo Nan finally saw the true face of this attacker clearly.
That was a gigantic beast with an extremely bizarre body shape.
Its body length was close to one hundred meters, and its entire body was covered with fine scales as hard as obsidian, flashing with a dim luster.
Its overall appearance was actually somewhat similar to a seahorse in the ocean, with a long snout and a curved tail.
However, on its seahorse-like body, there grew a pair of extremely broad Western giant dragon fleshy wings resembling bat wings!
Its limbs were thick and powerful, covered with sharp black barbs.
On its back grew a row of bone spurs standing high like sharp swords.
What was most chilling was its pair of eyes, which resembled two burning black ghost fires, filled with endless slaughter and madness.
"This is... the Nether Sea Dragon Beast?!"
This was an extremely rare top-tier sea Spirit Beast possessing a pure dark attribute and partial Dragon Clan Bloodline.
They were naturally brutal and extremely bloodthirsty, making them one of the true overlords in the ocean.
Facing the thunderous surprise attack of the Nether Sea Dragon Beast, Luo Nan did not panic in the slightest.
"Fifth Spirit Ability, Sacred Dragon Golden Flame!"
Luo Nan remained calm in the face of danger, his Soul Power surging wildly within his body.
The Golden Sacred Dragon raised its head and let out a deafening roar, its big mouth opening wide!
A brilliant golden pillar of fire with a diameter of over ten meters, like a golden divine sword piercing through heaven and earth, spewed out fiercely to meet the Nether Sea Dragon Beast!
