From Family Fisherman to Water Virtue True Immortal-Chapter 139: Canghai Whale Emperor

With a crack, the Array shattered, and the Spiritual Energy dispersed into ripples that swept across the land, leaving the Human Clan Cultivators with expressions of utter shock.

Among them, there was a traitor!

It was an obvious fact; otherwise, how could the Demon Clan, with their dull intellect, have discerned the weaknesses of the Array!

Clearly, a Human Clan Cultivator had betrayed their own kind, providing the two Golden Core Demons with information about the Array’s critical points in advance!

"Screech!!!"

The Golden Crowned Thunder Peng’s eyes shone like lightning, and its wings wrapped in thunder as it cleaved through the sky, soaring past the Human Clan’s warships.

It made a beeline for the deepest part of the Whale Emperor Sect ruins, intent on seizing the corpse of the Canghai Whale Emperor and harvesting the fruits of victory.

"Dare you, vile beast!"

Shuihua True Master glared furiously, with a wave of his sleeve, he channeled Mana and immediately propelled five rays of Sword Qi into the sky to intercept.

The Earth Flame Flood Dragon burst out of the horde of beasts, spewing molten lava, and was also stopped by two True Masters from the Yanyue Sect, bathed in the cool glow of the Moonlight, freezing the Divine Souls.

For a moment, within the depths of the ruins, the Golden Core Power crisscrossed wildly, effectively making the area a no-go zone for Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with the void impassable.

A mere strand of the emanating Golden Core Power could pulverise a Qi Refining Perfection Cultivator into dust, truly dreadful.

"All Foundation Establishment Cultivators heed my command, follow the Sword Sect and fend off the Demons!"

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Shuihua Sword Sect spoke, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, seeking the traitor among them.

"We can’t stay here any longer, let’s break through!"

Li Kunlun whispered, with Li Zongyao nodding in agreement, his expression solemn, unwilling to muddle through the chaos.

There were not a few Foundation Establishment Cultivators making this choice, but to avoid being held accountable by the Sword Sect after the battle, many chose to entangle themselves with a Foundation Establishment Demon as they fought and retreated.

Thus, many simple-minded Great Demons, engaged in battle, suddenly realized, "Hey, how did I end up leaving the battlefield?"

Naturally, Li Quanqing chose to face the Silver Armored Crab, which was also at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, similar to his own Cultivation.

"Take my Seal!"

Li Quanqing pulled out his Sea Covering Seal and with a booming sound, smashed it down, striking the crab’s shell with a resounding clang.

The blow was skillfully executed, leaving the Silver Armored Crab dazed and disoriented, but without inflicting much substantial harm; instead, its body was knocked a far distance away.

Eh, how come this looks so intimidating, yet doesn’t hurt when it hits?

The Silver Armored Crab shook its big head, advancing again and again with its pincers swinging, full of vigor.

To outsiders, it looked as though Li Quanqing, a newly advanced Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was evenly matched with the fierce Silver Armored Crab, deadlocked in combat.

Retreating as they fought, and fighting as they retreated.

If Li Quanqing were serious, with the Snow Dust Heavenly Robe and two Arrays, it wouldn’t be an instant kill, but he could easily overpower without the crab being able to fight back.

"Finally about to get out!"

Li Quanqing, seeing the Secret Realm’s light column within reach, couldn’t help but slightly relax.

By his side, Li Kunlun and another likewise engaged with a Spiritual Beast each, quietly trailing behind, ready to make their escape.

"Where’s the Demon Core?! Why isn’t it here?!"

Suddenly, an outraged roar erupted, with the angry bellows of Shuihua True Master coming from behind.

While suppressing the Silver Armored Crab, Li Quanqing even managed to split his attention and look back.

He saw a vast and towering plaza at the very deepest part of the Whale Emperor Sect, filled with countless skeletons sitting cross-legged, surrounding a whale as large as a mountain.

It was the Canghai Whale Emperor himself!

Chains wrapped around the Spirit Whale’s body, forming a kind of seal, with the entire Sect’s force suppressing it.

Such a scene... Could it be a rebellion of the Sect’s guardian Demon Beast?

Li Quanqing, seeing the remains of the Whale Emperor Sect’s disciples, Stewards, Elders, and Sect Master, couldn’t help but come up with a speculation.

So, the downfall of the Whale Emperor Sect was not due to outside enemies, but because of an internal rebellion?

No, perhaps it was also likely that an external enemy had incited the betrayal of the Canghai Whale Emperor.

Observing the colossal body of the Whale Emperor, and that deep and boundless aura far surpassing the Golden Core Realm, Li Quanqing suddenly understood everything.

A thousand years ago, the Canghai Whale Emperor had reached the threshold of Nascent Soul achievement but managed to break free from enslavement at the last moment, betraying the Sect.

The Whale Emperor Sect had exhausted its strength to suppress it, leading to its own extinction, preserving the ruins intact.

"Where is the Demon Core, why isn’t there one?!"

Shuihua True Master’s Divine Sense erupted violently, scouring inch by inch over the body of the Whale Emperor, yet found nothing.

This was the Demon Core of a Fourth Rank Nascent Soul Demon!

If refined properly, assimilated into a Fake Pill, one could possibly maintain Golden Core Peak Level Cultivation!

Furthermore, he could assimilate this vast Essence Qi himself, gaining the qualifications to strive for Nascent Soul!

But now, there’s nothing left!

"Screech!! Foolish Human Clan!"

"Who would have thought, we all arrived a little too late, some guy beat us to it!"

Golden Crowned Thunder Peng let out a hoarse cry, surprisingly speaking human language, sounding as grating as iron scraping against a board.

"That’s not too bad, devouring the corpse of the Canghai Whale Emperor, it’s enough for us to take another big step forward!"

Earth Flame Flood Dragon spoke in a pot-like voice, dull as thunder, shaking the water around it.

Shuihua True Master heard this, and a cold glint immediately flashed in his eyes: "You want the complete body of the Whale Emperor? Dream on!"

His entire body released five streams of sword light, the five elements flowing, thunderously falling, unleashing a sky-reaching Sword Qi!

Canghai Whale Emperor had been in eternal slumber for a thousand years, accumulating an endless amount of majestic Spiritual Energy within. Now under external force, it exploded violently.

Its body shattered into pieces!

"Curses! Cursed be it!!"

Golden Crowned Thunder Peng and Earth Flame Flood Dragon couldn’t stop it in time, their eyes nearly bursting from rage.

They could only watch helplessly as countless pieces of flesh flew in all directions, there was nothing they could do.

This was the flesh of a Nascent Soul Demon of epic proportions that had accumulated a thousand years of Spiritual Energy, how could it not stir the hearts of the Human Clan and Demon Beasts alike?

In an instant, even the five Golden Core beings ceased fighting, casting spells in quick succession to loot the scattered flesh and blood essence.

Situ Family was the nearest and had strong power; eight Foundation Establishment cultivators worked together to deploy an Array, snatching so much flesh and marrow that it was on par with Golden Core beings.

Li Quanqing just happened to witness this scene, his eyes brightening upon seeing a piece of flesh larger than a house flying towards their direction.

Most importantly, the flesh was bright red mixed with strands of azure, no trace of hair or fur, abundant with qi and blood, clearly a section of a heart!

A location rich with essence blood!

"Snatch away this heart flesh; our Li Family’s Island Guardian Spiritual Beast might need it!"

Li Zongyao spoke, instantly making a decision.

The three of them had come all this way with great difficulty, fought for so long, they surely couldn’t leave empty-handed, right?

Old Clan Chief brought out the Green Tide Pearl, brilliance scattered, his aura surged up, no longer concealing his power, exploding with Foundation Establishment Great Perfection level Mana flares.

With such Cultivation, he was second only to the few Golden Core practitioners, unmatched on the battlefield.

"Scram!!"

Li Zongyao roared loudly, like a raging lion, pulling out a large square cauldron and swung it like a brick to smash forward.

Any Demon Beast or Human Clan Cultivator daring to block their way was smashed into bones and tendons broken, spewing blood as they flew.

"The Clan Leader is so fierce!"

Li Quanqing and Li Kunlun exchanged glances, both seeing the shock and awe in each other’s eyes.

Clearly, neither of them expected that this typically gentle and tranquil old man could be so terrifying when unleashed.

With Li Zongyao leading the way, they were virtually unmatched, and eventually, the three from the Li Family successfully captured the heart flesh and stored it in the Storage Bag.

Even more, they also grabbed two extra chunks of skin and a bone thicker than a human body, reaping a full harvest.

"We can’t let go of these Great Demons either, take them all!"

Li Zongyao’s hair and beard all bristled, and upon returning, he targeted the Foundation Establishment Demon that he had been fighting back and forth with.

He swung the cauldron directly, smashing the opponent to death, sheer violence on display.

Li Kunlun was not to be outdone, with purple-blue thunder twining around his body, condensing the Gui Water Divine Thunder into thousands of Sword Qi, stabbing a targeted Demon Beast through the heart.

"Why do I feel like all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators of our Green Jade Li Family are so cunning?"

Li Quanqing wore a strange expression, unable to stop himself from thinking.

"Quanqing, do you need my help to make a move?"

Li Kunlun flicked his finger, the sound of thunder in his ears, looking at the trembling Silver Armored Crab, revealing a friendly and amiable smile.

"After all, Elder Quanqing has just broken through, and his foundation isn’t sound enough, let me do it."

Clan Leader Li Zongyao, carrying the cauldron, covered in blood, had been invincible in the tide of beasts, now still had the gentle demeanor of an accomplished man.

"Forget it, I’ll do it myself."

Li Quanqing shook his head, waved his sleeve, activated the Snow Dust Heavenly Robe, performed the Sleeve of the Universe, temporarily suppressing the Silver Armored Crab in the Snow Dust Mountain Spirit Realm.

Such a formidable space Spiritual Artifact!

Li Kunlun and the others showed a hint of surprise in their eyes, but did not ask too much.

Seeing that there was no more benefits to reap on the battlefield, the three from the Li Family exchanged glances and quietly slipped away from the Whale Emperor Sect ruins.

Finished the fight, time to clock out!
