Chapter 0225: Sea Condensing Divine Pearl
“Can’t trap them?” Huang Long sneered as he heard Ze Wei’s furious roars from within the Wan Shui Magic Array.
At that moment, Long Yi and the others, who had realized what was happening, also flew over to Huang Long’s side.
“Brother Huang Long, this magic array?” Xin Pu from the Phoenix Clan looked worriedly at Ze Wei and the others inside the array. They appeared like trapped beasts, frantically attacking in all directions, seemingly on the verge of breaking free at any moment.
“Don’t worry! This time, none of them will escape!” Huang Long’s gaze was icy. With a wave of his hands, a fist-sized blue pearl slowly flew out and rose above the array, emitting a faint blue light. As the pearl flew out, sounds of surging waves arose, like thunder rolling in the sky.
“What is this?!” Long Yi and the others stared at the blue pearl in shock.
Huang Long remained silent. He spread his arms, and streams of water surrounded him. As the mist swirled around him, the blue pearl hummed, its blue light intensifying as it shone high into the sky, casting a pale blue glow over dozens of miles of sea. At the same time, crystal-clear droplets began to float on the sea surface—each about the size of a thumb, emitting a faint vitality, as if each droplet contained a life of its own.
“Water Primordial Energy!” Sea God Apton exclaimed in shock.
All things possess primordial energy, but it usually takes extremely long years to form. Each type of primordial energy is crucial for cultivators’ training. For example, Sea God Apton, who cultivated water-based laws, needed to gather the power of water from heaven and earth daily to fill the divine sea in his mind. But if he could absorb Water Primordial Energy for cultivation, one day of practice would equal months of effort. Each drop of Water Primordial Energy was as effective as a divine pill.
Beyond his shock, Sea God Apton’s gaze turned fervent as he stared at the blue pearl. What kind of extraordinary treasure was this, capable of condensing Water Primordial Energy?! If he possessed this pearl, once he entered the divine realm and obtained a divine essence and a divine body, he believed he could reach the peak of a lower-tier god in just tens of thousands of years.
This blue pearl was crafted by Huang Long using crystal stones from the depths of the Endless Sea over these days—it was called the Sea Condensing Divine Pearl. Inscribed with dozens of water-related magic arrays of various sizes, it was still new but already possessed great power.
These water elemental forces were continuously gathered by the Sea Convergence Pearl from the sea, then integrated into the Great Water Array. The originally calm Great Water Array suddenly became filled with raging waves, which transformed into mountain-like waves that surged toward Zevi and his companions inside the array.
Zevi and his friends were terrified, roaring as they tried to dodge the attacks. But they found that these mountain-like waves were incredibly heavy and solid. With their current strength, even their full-power strikes couldn’t shatter them all. What was even more alarming was that after being shattered, these waves instantly reformed, coming at them with even greater force.
At this moment, over 200 Holy Domain Dark Magical Beasts, having received orders from the Yellow Dragon, channeled their magic power to activate the Great Water Array. Countless massive vortices formed within the array, and as they spun, fierce energy currents tried to tear Zevi and his companions apart. This was the true power of the Great Water Array!
Previously, Zevi and his friends had only been trapped. Of course, this was just the beginning. As the magic power from the 200+ Holy Domain Dark Magical Beasts continued to flow into the array, countless water columns emerged—thousands of them. These columns resembled sharp sword-like beams that crisscrossed throughout the space around Zevi and his companions.
“What kind of water magic array is this?!” roared the Hellish Demon God Fran. Although these sword-like beams couldn’t pierce his divine body, each strike caused excruciating pain. They had practiced in the Divine Plane for millions of years, yet none of the magic arrays there possessed such power. In the Divine Plane, magic arrays were mostly used only for long-distance teleportation.
However, though these sword-like beams couldn’t break through the bodies of divine-level warriors, they were a terrifying nightmare for Zevi and the others. By now, Zevi had used the Sel Family’s body evolution technique and transformed into a dark green humanoid beast over ten meters tall. With each punch he threw, space trembled, sending those sword-like beams flying. But there were endless beams, and even Favi, who had used the Sel Family’s evolution technique, couldn’t avoid being struck. When these beams hit him, they left huge holes in his body, with blood gushing out.
The half-orc Alek fared even worse. Although his inferior attack artifact gave him a strength comparable to Zevi’s, his physical defense was much weaker. Hit by the sword-like beams, he was sent flying, his body torn to pieces. The Beast God Peter and the others were in no better condition, their bodies covered in blood.
Watching the miserable state of Xevi and the others inside the Wanshui Formation, Long Yi and the others standing outside were filled with shock, especially the Sea God Apton, whose throat kept swallowing dryly.
“Chasm of Destruction!”
Xevi’s roar came from within the formation. Gray energy currents spread around him, forming an abyss that pushed aside the waves and sword pillars. Then, Xevi soared upward, his body emitting dark green light. This dark green light merged with the gray energy currents, causing them to change and give rise to black holes. These black holes spun wildly, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, causing Xevi’s evolved form to expand once again.
“Break it!”
Xevi roared and launched an attack at the dark magical beast controlling the Wanshui Formation. The green light intensified, and the black holes grew larger, even breaking through the water columns surrounding one of the dark magical beasts, revealing its true form. Seeing this, Xevi’s dark green eyes flashed with surprise before he attacked the beast again. If he could kill it, a gap in the formation would open, allowing him to escape this damned formation!
Long Yi and the others’ expressions changed as they prepared to intervene. Suddenly, a golden light flashed in the sky, and one of the Five Directional Flags—the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag—appeared above the Wanshui Formation. As it appeared, water droplets formed from spiritual energy, instantly enveloping the formation. Xevi struck at these water droplets but was repelled back into the formation, causing the Northern Xuanyuan Water Control Flag to shake. Long Yi and the others stopped in their tracks, staring at the flag. Though they had seen Huang Long’s “weapons” before, they still couldn’t hide their shock every time they witnessed their power. Huang Long watched Xevi and the others in the formation indifferently, then summoned the Green Rainbow Sword with a thought.
“It’s over!”
Huang Long said coldly. The Green Rainbow Sword then emitted countless sword beams that surrounded Xevi and the others inside the formation. With a buzzing sound, the sword beams descended like a storm. Xevi, who had just been forced back into the formation, scattered the incoming waves before hearing the buzzing sound of swords above. Looking up in terror, he roared, sending out bursts of gray energy to blast everything around him, blocking the falling sword beams, then fighting frantically in all directions. The half-orc Alek, the Beast God Peter, and the Hellish Demon God Fran also attacked wildly in an attempt to break through.
They all knew that if things continued like this, they would eventually die inside the grand formation. But the waves within the Wanshui Formation came one after another, seemingly growing more fierce, and to their horror, they found it impossible to break through this damned magic array! At that moment, a loud buzzing sound resounded in the sky once again, and the glow of the Qinghong Sword descended once more. Compared to before, the second beam of light was even more powerful. Huang Long stood outside the formation, continuously pouring magical energy to intensify the attacks. The half-orc Ale swung his inferior divine artifact, barely blocking the waves in the Wanshui Formation, only for the incoming sword beams to overwhelm him. After a scream, Ale was engulfed by the sword beams, followed by countless waves from the formation crushing his barely alive body into a mass of flesh. Then, numerous sword pillars rushed in, disintegrating it, with the waves surging away and disappearing into the waters beneath Chishui Island. The inferior divine artifact floated inside the formation. Ale’s tragic death terrified Ze Wei and the others; the shadow of death covered them all. The inferior divine artifact, carried by the waves, came to Ze Wei’s side. Seeing this, Ze Wei’s eyes flashed with determination as he tried to seize it, but the Wanshui Formation and the Qinghong Sword’s beams attacked simultaneously. Even Ze Wei’s gray destructive magic aura couldn’t protect him; the beams pierced through. Roar! A beastly scream erupted from Ze Wei’s throat before he was swallowed by the waves. Standing outside the formation, Huang Long emitted two beams of light from his eyes, which then transformed into water and fire dragons. These dragons rushed toward Ze Wei, who was severely injured inside the formation, wrapping around him. As the dragons spun, Ze Wei turned to ashes amidst his screams. The waves surged violently. The hellish demons Fran andCis (phonetic translation of Xisi), along with the beast god Peter, turned to see Ze Wei struggling before his death, their faces filled with panic. The deaths of Ale and Ze Wei inside the formation enraged Fran,Cis (phonetic translation of Xisi), and Peter. “Gather our strength and attack in one direction!” Fran shouted. The other three rushed back to his side and began attacking from one direction toward the formation. The power of the Wanshui Formation made them realize that they couldn’t break it alone; only by combining their forces might they succeed. “Attack together!” Huang Long ordered coldly, his forehead flashing as he summoned the Qunxian Pavilion.
The stunned Long Yi and his companions finally reacted and also took action. As they did, they transformed into their true forms. Just as the attacks from the Four Hellish Demons were about to hit the Wanshui Formation, the attacks from the Yellow Dragon and Long Yi’s group arrived. A loud roar echoed, causing the islands in the surrounding hundreds of miles to shake and drift. The Four Hellish Demons were forced to retreat, and at that moment, the Qunxian Pavilion descended.
