Chapter 1152: Chapter 1152
Over the Sea of Ruins, four Jiao Dragons were pulling a large ship, traversing the cloud sea above, and the powerful figures of the Rakshasa Clan were exceedingly vigilant at the moment.
Although the vast ocean beneath was far away from them, the Rakshasa Clan knew well that this distance didn’t provide them with a sense of security; it only offered a brief moment of reaction time when danger approached.
Without powerful beings to tackle the threats of the Sea of Ruins, appearing above this sea was an exceedingly deadly affair.
Yet, ever since Li Yi boarded the ship, this dragon boat had been sailing for five days, and within these five days, everything remained calm, with no danger occurring.
This gradually made the Rakshasa Clan believe in the route Li Yi provided; perhaps this Heavenly Soldier of the Human Clan truly mastered the method to traverse the Sea of Ruins.
During these few days, Li Yi had been meditating in the cabin, trying his utmost to enhance himself with the pure nature’s spiritual energy of this world.
Though he was honing a blade before battle, it was the only thing he could do at that moment.
The Powerful Heavenly King of the Rakshasa Clan stood like a cold statue beside the bed for the past few days. Though motionless, his Primordial Spirit Power resonated with this world, making him aware of everything happening around.
Yet the peculiar Sea of Ruins—the waters contained mysterious forces. He could perceive the changes in the heavens and earth but couldn’t sense the horrors of the deep sea.
Thus, the dragon boat continued to fly until the eighth day.
A voice echoed from within the cabin.
"My lord, if we proceed further, we’ll reach the Jiao Dragon Sea Region mentioned by the Heavenly Soldier of the Human Clan. He once encountered a group of dancing Jiao Dragons here; should we bypass this area?" Guang Sha sent a message over.
The Powerful Heavenly King, who stood motionless like a statue, slightly opened his eyes, "Cross through it, just a group of Jiao Dragons, not much to worry about. If we detour, the dangers of other sea regions might be worse, and we need to verify if this Heavenly Soldier’s route is accurate."
"Understood, my lord." Guang Sha accepted the order, then his voice faded away.
The ship continued to advance swiftly through the cloud sea, but merely a quarter of an hour passed when the four Jiao Dragons pulling the ship became restless, followed by a slight wobble of the previously calm ship.
The Rakshasa Clan’s strong figures immediately stood ready for battle, sensing a peculiar bloody scent.
The calm Sea of Ruins suddenly exploded with countless shocking water splashes, which solidified and rose as pillars of water, instantly clouded over, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
Following that, the roars and howls of Jiao Dragons resounded.
Huge deep-sea Jiao Dragons, using the water pillars, soared into the sky, within seconds enveloping the entire dragon boat.
The four tamed Jiao Dragons pulling the dragon boat were now anxious and terrified, sensing they had been hunted as prey despite being their kind.
But just at this moment.
A burst of Red Divine Light suddenly bloomed, transforming into an indestructible sword, severing the cloud sea and obliterating everything, slashing towards a Jiao Dragon within the clouds.
Blood sprayed, and that Jiao Dragon was instantly cut into two segments; though not dead, it was severely wounded.
Instantly, the eyes of the other surrounding Jiao Dragons locked on the source of the attack.
It was the Powerful Heavenly King, holding a Blood-colored Long Sword, standing at the bow; the Jiao Dragon he heavily injured was indeed powerful, a Jiao King, yet even among Heavenly King level combat power, there are varying strengths.
The powerful figures of the Rakshasa Clan are innately skilled in battle, especially with enhanced weaponry. At the same level, the Powerful Heavenly King is unparalleled.
"Make way, or this Heavenly King will annihilate your clan," the Powerful Heavenly King shouted, his presence carrying Mighty Power, repelling the Jiao horde.
But this was the Sea of Ruins.
The Jiao Dragon horde surviving here were no ordinary beings.
In a mere moment, four Jiao Kings surged forward, leading dozens of Heavenly General level Jiao Dragons to encircle with killing intent, their terrifying aura stirring the heavens and earth with a tumultuous change.
"Everyone, fight alongside this Heavenly King and break through," the Powerful Heavenly King roared in fury, astonished at the insolence of these Jiao Kings, unbothered about unleashing a massacre today.
Afterward, holding the Blood-colored Long Sword, he dashed out from the dragon boat to confront the Jiao horde, followed by a troop of powerful Rakshasa Clan figures.
At the same time. Orıginal content can be found at novelꞁire.net
A cabin window somewhere opened, revealing the scantily dressed, extremely alluring Rakshasa woman Manluo, glaring angrily at the Jiao horde and joining the battle.
Her presence unfolded, nearly reaching the Heavenly King level, though slightly lacking.
No wonder this Rakshasa woman has been notably respected here.
"Fighting has commenced?"
At this moment, Li Yi also heard the commotion outside, with the aftereffects of the battle already resonating through the dragon boat.
"As I thought, my previous passage without being attacked was because I was alone, focused on my journey, making me a small target not worth alerting powerful beings—much like an ant passing by a tiger, simply ignored."
"However, it’s different for this group of Rakshasa Clan experts gathered here. They cannot cross the Jiao Dragon Sea without facing attacks."
Li Yi thought to himself, "But this matter doesn’t concern me. In a battle of this level, it’s better for a small soldier like me to hide obediently in the cabin, hoping a few more of those Rakshasa Clan members perish."
He couldn’t help but curse them under his breath.
But he knew, relying solely on the Jiao Dragon Sea wasn’t enough to stop the Rakshasa experts. Otherwise, that Rakshasa Clan’s Heavenly King wouldn’t choose to engage actively; he would’ve maneuvered the Dragon Boat away.
He glanced at another direction inside the cabin.
That Heavenly General level Guang Sha stood there, choosing not to engage in battle but to control the Dragon Boat instead, possibly also to keep an eye on Li Yi.
As Li Yi had pointed out the dangers of this sea region beforehand, Guang Sha wasn’t angry or held him liable, showing he had some sense of reason.
The sounds of battle didn’t last long.
About an hour later, the battle concluded. Li Yi heard the sorrowful cries of Jiao Longs, then their auras quickly fading as they dove back into the Sea of Ruins, vanishing without a trace.
The Dragon Boat remained undamaged, proving that, as Li Yi guessed, the Rakshasa Clan had won.
The Powerful Heavenly King returned to the Dragon Boat, holding a massive Jiao head. Bathed in dragon blood, his murderous aura was overwhelming, and the bloodthirsty nature of the Rakshasa Clan was blatantly evident in his crimson eyes.
Looking at the Jiao Dragon King’s head in his hand, the Powerful Heavenly King sneered, "I warned you to make way. You didn’t listen and insisted on losing your life."
He then tossed the head aside, "Hang it on the boat, to serve as a warning to the Sea of Ruins’ creatures."
A Rakshasa Clan Heavenly General took the head, slightly dealt with it, and hung it on the Dragon Boat as a trophy to intimidate strong foes.
This approach did have some effect.
However, the battle against the Jiao Dragons had cost the Rakshasa Clan; some of their experts had fallen, with several Heavenly Generals losing their lives.
Yet, no one complained, as they were prepared for it when heading to the Sea of Ruins.
The Dragon Boat continued its journey. Perhaps due to good fortune or the effectiveness of Li Yi’s route, they truly encountered no major dangers on their way.
If it continued , they would reach the Water Avoiding Beast’s sea region in a few days.
By then, Li Yi would lose his value.
"These people seem to have better luck than me, only having one encounter with the Jiao Long group and facing no other threats." Li Yi’s cultivation over these days had slightly improved his strength.
The Mana Flower bloomed a petal.
But this progress hardly made any difference in the current situation; any Heavenly General could easily overpower him.
"Going round and round, am I really destined to die in this Sea of Ruins?" He sighed in resignation.
However, the long-silent Hua Qing suddenly spoke, "It seems the plan failed; the dangers on the way didn’t significantly deplete the Rakshasa Clan or stop them from seeking the Water Avoiding Beast. Congratulations, your end is near."
"Congratulations to you too." Li Yi replied.
"..." Hua Qing was momentarily silent before saying, "I’ve pondered over this period, finally coming up with a desperate measure, perhaps we could take a ’mutually destructive’ approach."
"Let’s hear it, to ensure I lose all hope." Li Yi said.
Hua Qing said, "Didn’t we stop briefly in that small world before? I rummaged through some things I left from before and found a rare treasure called the Dragon Transformation Pill, which can directly transform a True Dragon’s descendant into a Dragon."
"What use is that?" Li Yi retorted.
"See, you’re quick to dismiss," Hua Qing said, "The true rulers of the Sea of Ruins are the True Dragon Clan, who have ruled it for many years. Most creatures have some Dragon Bloodline. If you throw the Dragon Transformation Pill into the sea, it will undoubtedly attract many terrifying creatures with Dragon Bloodlines."
"Then, a chaos might ensue, giving you a chance to escape."
"It sounds unreliable. If I draw a swarm of terrifying creatures, how will I survive?" Li Yi’s mouth twitched.
"You have to try, what if you have great luck? Also, you have the Sword Coins. If you can shake off the Rakshasa Clan’s surveillance, you could find an opportunity to escape," Hua Qing said.
Li Yi pondered for a moment and felt Hua Qing’s suggestion had some logic to it.
If he could stir things up, he could escape using the Sword Coins amidst the chaos, his only current advantage.
However, being constantly surveilled, how could he find a chance to toss the Dragon Transformation Pill into the Sea of Ruins?
