Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 497 - 493: Onmyoji and the Blue Monster

The lake was vast, stretching out to the horizon with no end in sight. Unlike the oceans and lakes of the Earth World, the surface of this lake was eerily calm, with barely a ripple to be seen – it looked like an infinite mirror.

"This lake is a bit too blue, don't you think?" the group mused as they approached. After all, it was their first time entering the Outer Battlefield, so it was natural to be curious.

Lord Xiao stepped forward and said, "My lord, this lake is blocking our path. What should we do now?"

Ye Feng knitted his brows and said, "Considering the lake looks boundless and the gravity is heavier here, coupled with the fact that there's no spiritual energy in the air for us to use the Breathing Technique and recover, it's likely impossible to fly over it."

Of course, Ye Feng himself had no such problem. After all, his Divine Path Heavenly Edict Scroll still contained a certain amount of Origin Energy, which he could convert into Spirit Essence in his Acupoints whenever he wished. But that probably wouldn't work for the others, especially the few at the Martial King Realm.

"My lord, it seems we have no choice but to go around the lake," the young Cao Tian from the Cao Family suggested.

Ye Feng waved his hand, then slowly bent down to study the water's surface and exclaimed, "Such bewitchingly beautiful blue water; since we have encountered it by chance, don't you all want to see what's special about it?"

Before entering, Ye Feng had heard many elders say that the Outer Battlefield was filled with wonders; you might just step outside and see a strange Heaven and Earth Fruit falling from the sky, which could boost your power dramatically if eaten.

To put it simply, the Outer Battlefield was a magical Alien World full of possibilities, which was its most enticing aspect. Therefore, Ye Feng already knew that he needed to maintain enough curiosity about the place and not retreat just because it was full of potentially dangerous unknowns.

Take, for example, the vast lake before them; its unnaturally blue color suggested it wasn't without its peculiarities. Since they were here to train and gain experience, they ought to explore it thoroughly.

"This water, it can't be anything special, right?" Sima Zhantian, ever the hot-headed one, crouched down and scooped up some water with both hands.

Ye Feng silently shook his head at this sight. The big guy was too careless – this was the Outer Battlefield, after all. Acting so recklessly without understanding the situation fully was bound to end badly.

And sure enough, just as Sima Zhantian lifted the blue water, which had been calm a moment before, it suddenly caught fire with a fizzing sound. Startled, Sima Zhantian quickly pulled back his hands, which was a good thing; otherwise, they would have been severely burned.

"Damn it, this is just too weird. How can this water... actually catch fire?" exclaimed Sima Zhantian in disbelief.

Ye Feng shook his head and sighed, "Who told you that anything that looks like a liquid must be water?"

Sima Zhantian was momentarily lost for words and after a long pause, he exclaimed, "This Outer Battlefield really is extraordinary. It seems we really need to be careful."

Ye Feng stood up and addressed everyone, "Everyone, please listen carefully. The Outer Battlefield is not like our original Earth World. I know each of you is exceptional in the Earth World, but this is the Outer Battlefield. If you don't want to die, stay alert at all times and strictly follow my commands!"

The team members nodded earnestly, the memory of the four teammates who had fallen victim to the Spirit-devouring Ant Beast still fresh in their minds.

"My lord, there's definitely something wrong with this liquid. It can turn into flames at any moment. It looks like we really do have to take a detour," Lord Xiao said.

"Indeed, even I might face great danger if I were to enter the lake. Flying over it is clearly not an option, so let's head to the left," Ye Feng immediately directed with a wave of his hand.

In fact, up until this point, Ye Feng still had no clear direction in the Outer Battlefield, so they had to pick a general direction and hope for a breakthrough. Of course, encountering some elders from Xuanyuan Hall along the way would be ideal.

However, the expanse of the Outer Battlefield was truly vast, and since they couldn't fly swiftly as in the Earth World but had to walk, even after half a day, they hadn't covered much distance.

With Ye Feng's decision, naturally, no one had any objections at this point. The group continued along the edge of the lake to the left side. Thanks to their high Cultivation Realms, they could endure this kind of environment without food and water for half a day.

About half an hour later, Ye Feng, who was leading, suddenly furrowed his brow and immediately gestured for everyone to stop, saying, "Stop, there is a disturbance ahead!"

All the team members promptly ceased their advance as Cao Tian whispered, "My lord, is there something up ahead? Odd, I didn't feel anything at all, yet you were able to detect it."

Hearing this, Lord Xiao couldn't help but chuckle, "Of course, why else do you think you're just a lackey? When you are able to detect such things, then you can take over as the leader."

Cao Tian clenched his fists and said resolutely, "Lord Xiao is right. I will work harder."

Ye Feng immediately waved his hand and said, "Everyone, gather your aura; we'll sneak up and take a look!"

"Yes!" At that moment, everyone began to conceal their aura and slowly crept forward. Soon, they finally heard a rumbling sound coming from ahead, like the turbulent surge of lake water, mixed with the sounds of intense fighting.

"There's the sound of a fight. Could it be there are people ahead?" Ye Feng's gaze sharpened. It had been a long time since they had entered the Outer Battlefield, and aside from the earlier encounter with the Spirit-devouring Ant Beast, they hadn't seen any other creatures.

Before long, they arrived beneath a rugged rocky outcrop on their left. It was then that they finally saw a vast blue creature hovering above the surface of the lake ahead.

The colossal creature, covered in blue scales and as large as a hillock, had sharply clawed limbs that were incredibly long, along with a lengthy tail. Its head was ferocious and pointed, with two fangs that appeared quite terrifying.

At first glance, this creature resembled the dinosaurs that had once roamed the ancient Earth World, except this one was completely blue—including its two massive eyes. Its aura was explosive and majestic, somehow enabling it to float above the lake surface.

Around the creature were men in high hats, dressed in the uniforms of Fusang Yin-Yang Masters. They were positioned in three directions, encircling the massive beast.

"They are Yin-Yang Masters from Fusang!" Xiao Chuanqi transmitted his message.

Ye Feng frowned and focused solely on the scene before him. It was clear that not only was the aura of the massive blue creature powerful and violent, but the three Fusang Yin-Yang Masters were also extraordinarily strong.

In the eastern land of Fusang, although the Sword Saint Palace had a loud reputation, it was not the strongest force. The true strongest were the Yin-Yang Masters. It was said that these Yin-Yang Masters controlled Fusang's Astronomical Bureau and even used it to influence the entire situation in Fusang.

According to legend, Fusang Yin-Yang Masters could harness the Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and possessed various mysterious Yin-Yang Techniques, which were incredibly strange and formidable.

However, a few days earlier, Ye Feng had spoken with Old Man Huang in the Northwest Little Mountain Village. Elder Huang told him that the so-called Fusang Yin-Yang Masters were actually just one sect of the Cultivators from the Xuanyuan Nation and that during the Ancient times, they had spread from Xuanyuan Nation to Fusang.

This sect transformed their Magic Techniques after reaching Fusang, incorporating local characteristics into their practice, which led to the unique Cultivation System of today's Fusang Yin-Yang Masters. Regardless of the changes, the root of their cultivation was essentially the same as that of the Xuanyuan Cultivators.

The lake water churned wildly, and any water that was stirred from the lake and became airborne would spontaneously ignite, but strangely, the water within the lake remained unignited—a truly curious phenomenon.

The entirely blue monstrous beast roared and bellowed, shouting unintelligible words.

The three Fusang Yin-Yang Masters constantly formed Seal Formation with their hands. Their bodies suddenly erupted with fierce auras, and then a talisman that resembled the light of three stars emerged, charging towards the massive creature.

"Ao wu…" The creature roared to the sky, suddenly sucking in a mouthful of lake water, and then exhaling a terrifying Fire Dragon in an instant burst.

The huge Fire Dragon rushed toward the three-star talisman, dispersing it in an instant. The faces of the three Fusang Yin-Yang Masters tightened, and their hands repeatedly formed Seal Formation, their Dharma Seals ancient and profound. Evidently, all three Yin-Yang Masters were extremely seasoned and capable, maintaining their composure even against such a beast.

"It seems that this blue monster must live in this blue lake, and those three Fusang Yin-Yang Masters are clearly looking to hunt it," Ye Feng muttered softly to himself.

Xiao Chuanqi couldn't help but ask, "My lord, why would they take such a big risk to hunt this monster? Does it have something valuable?"

Ye Feng smiled faintly and said, "Judging from the monster's aura, it has probably formed a Beast Core. Naturally, they have come to hunt for the Beast Core. Of course, there might also be Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures deep within the lake bed; after all, there are usually treasures in each monster's territory."

"I see," Xiao Chuanqi nodded in understanding.

Sim Zhantian then asked, "My lord, what should we do now? Should we take action?"

Ye Feng sneered and said, "We might have let it be if we hadn't stumbled upon it. But since we did, it's natural to intervene—not now, though. Both the three Yin-Yang Masters and the monster are not to be underestimated. Let's wait and watch for now."

Sim Zhantian immediately nodded and said, "Right, as the saying goes, when the snipe and the clam grapple, it is the fisherman who profits. We'll wait until they are both worn out from fighting before we make our move."

Ye Feng simply nodded slightly without saying more. At that moment, on the lake surface ahead, the azure beast seemed to be truly enraged as it roared skyward, gulping down large volumes of lake water before opening its maw to unleash a horrifying Fireball in an instant burst.

The sizable Fireball even had black within, filled with an aura capable of destroying heaven and earth. Ye Feng watched intently; even he might struggle to withstand the Fireball with ease. This creature was indeed terrifying.
