Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 990 - 108: Deep Sea Adventure (Part 4)

When Yue Jinghua fell into the Nan Emperor Shell, the Lianyun Great Sword in her hand was entangled with that mysterious underwater creature.

As she rolled into the shell with the sword, the enormous scallop of the Nan Emperor Shell closed, and Yue Jinghua suddenly felt darkness before her eyes. The seawater and the mysterious marine creature were gone.

From outside, there came a sound reminiscent of a collision, clearly indicating the mysterious underwater creature lost its prey and vented its anger on the Nan Emperor Shell.

Yue Jinghua took out the Nan Emperor Pearl, finding herself inside the shell.

It was somewhat amusing, she thought. Last time, she had reshaped her physical body inside a young Nan Emperor Shell clam to survive a great calamity a hundred years ago. Now, she once again relied on the Nan Emperor Shell’s protection to evade the mysterious underwater creature’s attack.

The Nan Emperor Pearl emitted a gentle glow, similar to a candle.

Yue Jinghua could see her surroundings clearly; she was inside the shell, which was still fairly spacious.

Beneath her was a pink shell bed where she placed the Nan Emperor Pearl back.

In the pitch-black shell, light flickered.

Suddenly, brilliant light flickered, and Yue Jinghua felt a surge of Dark Power instantly replenishing her depleted energy.

It seemed this was the Nan Emperor Shell’s way of expressing gratitude.

Yue Jinghua looked at her Lianyun Great Sword again and found that a part of the mysterious marine creature’s body tissue was still entangled on the sword.

The Lianyun Great Sword couldn’t cut through the mysterious marine creature, yet it was severed by the sharp shell of the Nan Emperor Shell.

With the help of the bright pearl light, Yue Jinghua removed a section from the sword, intending to figure out what the mysterious marine creature was made of.

If she couldn’t find the weakness of this mysterious creature, she wouldn’t be able to leave the Nan Emperor Shell, and she had less than four hours left.

The knocking sound outside the shell had diminished; the mysterious marine creature was smart, waiting outside for Yue Jinghua to come out.

The fragment taken from the sword was rubbed by Yue Jinghua’s fingers, turning the mysterious creature’s fragment into fibrous strands.

Yue Jinghua noticed the fragment of this mysterious sea beast was not as she initially thought, seaweed, but rather strands of extremely fine hair-like material gathered together, resembling human hair.

Hair?

Yue Jinghua’s eyes lit up, and hope ignited within them.

If it truly was hair, then there was a way to defeat it.

Yue Jinghua relaxed her furrowed brows, a confident smile emerging on her lips.

The mysterious marine creature floated in the water, its gaze fixed intently on the Nan Emperor Shell, its eerie blue eyes glistening like the eyes of a hungry beast.

This mysterious marine creature was not a true East Lin Sea creature but a Yin Sha body formed from the spirits of the dead and sea beast corpses from numerous shipwrecks after the calamity in the East Lin Sea.

Its name was Sea Evil.

Sea Evil feared neither swords nor spears; ordinary Dark Power couldn’t kill it.

As the number of sea beasts and marine creatures dwindled around the East Lin Sea, the domain of Sea Evil expanded, potentially endangering the Boundary Sea.

Recently, almost no ships passed through this area, and the Sea Evil was starving. Thus, Yue Jinghua’s appearance was like a fat sheep delivered to its door, and the Sea Evil wouldn’t let it slip away.

It patiently waited outside the Nan Emperor Shell, knowing that the creature that entered the sea trench was not from the Sea Demon Clan. She couldn’t last much longer at such depth.

The Nan Emperor Shell silently opened a crack.

Sea Evil was thrilled, sliding along the seabed, using its two flexible avatars to pry the scallop open.

A green fire dragon burst out.

Dun Qinglian Fire had transformed into a dragon!

The fire dragon’s mouth still contained unrefined Blue Snow Ore.

When the large Nan Emperor Shell was forcibly opened, what emerged was not Yue Jinghua but a long-prepared Dun Qinglian Fire.

Dun Qinglian Fire was a Divine Fire, unafraid of ordinary water.

Once the Lotus Fire emerged, the surrounding seawater’s temperature rose by several degrees.

The mysterious sea beast ahead seemed to sense the unusual heat, desperately retreating.

But it was already too late.

Yue Jinghua frantically urged the Lotus Fire in her hand, the fire blazed more intensely.

Hair feared fire, and since the Sea Evil resembled hair, it must be afraid of fire.

After breaking through the Body Seizing Realm, Yue Jinghua gained new Dark Skills from the Mo Xi Treasure Book, transforming the Dun Qinglian Fire into a dragon with the Green Lotus Furious Dragon.

Fortunately, Yue Jinghua’s Desire Gourd had prepared a large amount of Blue Snow, modern-day crude oil ore, and with the Blue Snow Ore and Green Lotus Furious Dragon, she could purify the sea trench.

At this moment, the surrounding seawater seemed to turn into boiling oil, and the fire grew larger.

At a depth of ten thousand meters, a fire dragon soared, its mouth agape, swallowing the fleeing Sea Evil.

After devouring the Sea Evil, the fire dragon did not stop. Moving from east to west, like a prairie fire, it instantly ignited the entire Nanbei Sea Trench.

Jue Xin, who was preparing to swim towards the East Sea Trench, was amazed by the formidable fire, uncertain of what transpired in the East Sea Trench, but deducing the sudden seabed fire must relate to Yue Jinghua.

The fire was immensely powerful, devouring all participating Sea Evil spirits within the trench.

This was the Evil-breaking Fire, capable of expelling all nefarious entities.

Though the Sea Evil had disappeared, it couldn’t be assured there weren’t any remnants in the area.

Jue Xin dared not fight head-on, hastily flicking her tail and swimming to the sea surface.

After emerging, Jue Xin leaped out of the water, gazing downward.

Beneath the sea, she saw a distinct, meandering fire trench.

At the eastern and western ends of the fire trench were two glowing spots, like the sun and moon in the sea, one yang, one yin. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The two bright spots grew larger, the range brighter, and the entire East Lin Sea was subtly transforming.

"Succeeded? Those are the lights of the Nan Emperor Pearl and Nanhuang Pearl," Jue Xin exclaimed with joy.

With a splash, Yue Jinghua surfaced from the sea.

With a "Wow," she vomited the Ghost Mother from her stomach, frowning with disdain, "Jue Xin, never let me swallow this thing again in my next life."

At this time, the east turned fiery red, and the rising sun leapt above the horizon.

Yue Jinghua and Jue Xin couldn’t help but look eastward, where thousands of golden rays shone from the sea into the depths.

The blackness within the East Lin Sea waters swiftly faded, as if someone poured a large quantity of azure pigment, restoring the sea to its original blue.

Flocks of sea birds flew from the direction of the sunrise.

Standing on the back of the Head-Hunting Whale, Yue Jinghua and Jue Xin watched this scene, raising their palms and clapping them together, the sharp clap echoing across the sea breeze.

After a thousand years, with the return of the Twin Pearls, East Lin Sea regained its title as the most beautiful sea domain in the Demon World.
