King of Creation

In the midst of Yan Yijun's pig-like screams, Ye Zhen merely glanced slightly, and the same black spirit ropes simultaneously wrapped around the bodies of Yan Yijun and his two companions, swiftly tightening.

The three screamed in terror, looking at Ye Zhen as if seeing a stranger.

Especially Yan Yijun, who even had the impulse to rub his eyes.

This Ye Zhen in front of him must be terrifying, dealing with them without even moving a hand!

Now, Yan Yijun truly believed that Ye Zhen had the ability to easily handle a Seventh Stage Establishment King.

But it was already too late.

As the black spirit ropes tightened, they dug deep into their flesh, and the sound of bones breaking echoed continuously, with blood spurting wildly.

He felt his strength rapidly leaving his body...

The Black Dragon Twist was a killing move Ye Zhen created after comprehending the enhanced Water Dao Pattern of the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, with extremely terrifying power able to easily kill a Fifth Stage Establishment King on land.

In the deep sea, the power of this Black Dragon Twist was increased severalfold, even tenfold.

Every drop of water around Yan Yijun and the others seemed to become a weapon to slay them!

In the blink of an eye, Yan Yijun and his two companions were turned into shattered corpses on the ground.

Three strands of Divine Soul Power flew out, capturing the innate divine souls of the three, especially Yan Yijun's, which Ye Zhen layered with seals.

This time, there can be no possibility for Yan Yijun to survive, but for now, his soul must not dissipate.

Ye Zhen still had use for Yan Yijun's innate divine soul.

Casually collecting the storage rings of the three, Ye Zhen vanished without a trace in the deep sea before a group of Heavenly Level High Grade demon beasts could madly pounce.

The Black Dragon Martial Meridians' ability to ignore water pressure was even stronger than Ye Zhen had imagined.

Now eight hundred miles into the undersea canyon, the water pressure still had zero effect on Ye Zhen!

This gave Ye Zhen more confidence in his exploration mission of the undersea canyon.

The harvest from the storage rings of Yan Yijun and his companions was not much, but the number of spiritual medicines they collected in just one day surprised Ye Zhen.

Altogether, the three collected over two hundred and ten portions of spiritual medicine, though most had low value, with the highest being only six points, and most others between one to three points.

However, combined, the spiritual medicine points collected by the three amounted to over four hundred points, eight times the fifty points Ye Zhen had thus far accumulated.

This was an unexpected windfall.

Easily finishing off Yan Yijun, Ye Zhen once again delved deeper into the undersea canyon.

Yan Yijun and his two companions, with the Human Snake creature, could reach about eight hundred miles into the canyon.

So, others from the Stars Tower probably ventured even deeper.

With this in mind, conventional judgment was useless, and Ye Zhen decided not to waste time.

However, if he encountered them, Ye Zhen would not let them go.

In the following day's time, Ye Zhen nearly treated it like a sightseeing tour, gradually diving from an eight hundred-mile depth to about eighteen hundred miles at one side of the undersea canyon.

Along the way, Ye Zhen gathered many spiritual medicines, but the one with the highest score in the Jade Scroll was only one hundred and forty points.

At a depth of eighteen hundred miles, martial artists were exceedingly rare, and after roaming for several hours, he encountered only one martial artist.

At such a depth, only a Ninth Stage Establishment King would dare operate here.

Most importantly, the sea monsters here were incredibly terrifying.

The lowest cultivation among these sea monsters was Low-Grade Spirit Tier. Imagine a swarm of over a thousand Low-Grade Spirit Tier beasts charging at you; what sort of feeling would that be?

Anyway, Ye Zhen was almost scared witless.

Luckily, the Black Dragon Pressure was effective; as soon as they sensed the pressure Ye Zhen emitted, those beasts fled away swiftly.

However, Ye Zhen wasn't without danger—a gigantic fish monster, over five miles long, approached within a kilometer despite the Black Dragon Pressure Ye Zhen deliberately emitted, only stopping then.

After glaring at Ye Zhen unfriendly for nearly a hundred breaths, the giant fish regrettably turned and left.

Turning around, it swallowed over a hundred Low-Grade Spirit Tier demon beasts in one go.

This scared Ye Zhen into a cold sweat, as despite his prowess in water, he still had limitations compared to true waterborne demon beasts, and that giant fish had cultivation at the Peak of Spirit Tier.

A beast at the Peak of Spirit Tier could contend with a Dao Realm expert.

This was one of the reasons Ye Zhen slowed his advance.

From here onward, Ye Zhen had to be extra cautious. Encountering a terrifying Grand Demon at the Dao Realm but not yet shapeshifted would indeed be troublesome.

While Ye Zhen cautiously collected spiritual medicines here, the temporary team assembled to hunt him was nearly going mad!

In two days, the eight of them shared information, each covering a region, almost searching the entire thousand-mile area of the sea but still found no trace of Ye Zhen.

Now, they were thoroughly anxious.

The six from the Stars Tower were somewhat calm, but the two Dragon Kings from the Dragon Alliance were anxious.

Right now is the best opportunity to capture the fated individual of the Alliance Hierarch. If they miss this chance, once Ye Zhen returns to Shuili Island and joins forces with the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, the price they have to pay for capturing Ye Zhen will not be small.

However, urgent as it may be, in this vast ocean, failing to find Ye Zhen can't be helped!

So after searching fruitlessly for two days, this temporary hunting party basically gave up looking for Ye Zhen.

Especially the six from Stars Tower, killing Ye Zhen is not a pressing issue, but securing a spot at the auction is imperative.

Although the Third Tower Chief Kui Otu can definitely participate in the auction, Kui Otu represents the interests of the Ou Family of Stars Tower, whereas Huang Mian and Yan Wuluo represent the Huang Clan and Yan Family of Stars Tower respectively.

While the five families of Stars Tower are one entity, they frequently engage in internal conflict and often compete as individual families when facing various interests.

This reward pill conference is no exception.

Thus, after some discussion, this temporary hunting party from Stars Tower split into two teams, led by Huang Mian and Yan Wuluo respectively, diving into the depths of the undersea canyon to gather spiritual medicine.

Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong and Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben were helpless upon seeing this but still refused to give up.

If Ye Zhen couldn't be found within a thousand mile radius, he is likely to have delved deeper.

To increase the chances of finding Ye Zhen, the two split up again to search separately.

In an instant, the team chasing Ye Zhen fractured and scattered toward the depths of the undersea canyon.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhen encountered a deadly danger.

A Thunder Clam enveloped in blue light was chasing Ye Zhen relentlessly.

This Thunder Clam was about ten meters in size, arrow-shaped, with two clam shells standing like wings on its sides. With a flash of its dark blue light, a dark thunder light burst through the water.

In an instant, electric currents surged in the sea water!

Ye Zhen was picking a black sea mushroom when the Thunder Clam ambushed him from behind.

Instantly, Ye Zhen was electrified and felt numb. Fortunately, Ye Zhen possessed the Thunder Vein in his body, which granted strong resistance to electricity, allowing him to recover quickly.

The moment he recovered, Ye Zhen fully activated his Black Dragon Martial Meridians, amplifying the Black Dragon Pressure to the extreme.

However, much to Ye Zhen's frustration, the Thunder Clam was not afraid!

It wasn't that it wasn't afraid, but rather the Thunder Clam was attacking Ye Zhen from two to three miles away.

The pressure exerted by Ye Zhen's Black Dragon Martial Meridians weakened at such a distance, rendering it ineffective against this Peak Spirit Tier Demon Beast.

Of course, if Ye Zhen were to approach within a mile of the Thunder Clam, he estimated that the Black Dragon Pressure from his Black Dragon Martial Meridians would definitely be able to drive away the Thunder Clam!

But before Ye Zhen could get close, the creature bombarded him with electric shocks, causing the water to spread the electricity all around.

Initially, Ye Zhen thought the Black Dragon Twist could deal with it.

Unexpectedly, the creature was enveloped in electric light, and the surrounding water contained electricity, preventing Ye Zhen's Black Dragon Spirit Rope from forming.

This frustrated Ye Zhen to the point of wanting to spit blood.

This Thunder Clam was simply suppressing him completely.

Ye Zhen considered using Soul Refining Divine Light against it, but successive attacks from the creature filled the vast sea water with electricity, electrifying Ye Zhen relentlessly.

Forget about attacking, even when trying to escape, he shuddered!

What's worse, this Thunder Clam moved at incredible speed within the electric water, reaching any location with lightning speed, making it impossible for Ye Zhen's Divine Sense to lock onto it.

Heaven help him, this was Ye Zhen's first time feeling so helpless against a Demon Beast.

After being shocked and twitched dozens of times, Ye Zhen gave up trying to kill the Thunder Clam and focused entirely on escaping!

Yet the Thunder Clam seemed to be fixated on Ye Zhen, chasing him relentlessly and refusing to give up, never losing track of him. Even if Ye Zhen managed to shake it off, the clam caught up in just two or three breaths.

Left with no choice, Ye Zhen made an extremely risky decision!

He decided to delve deeper into the undersea canyon!

Demon Beasts generally have a strong sense of territory, and since this Thunder Clam operated around two thousand miles deep in the ocean, it typically wouldn't venture into two thousand five hundred miles deep.

Sea Monsters have a keener sense of danger than Martial Artists!

Therefore, in a very short time, Ye Zhen dove nearly three thousand miles deep into the sea, completely activating his Black Dragon Martial Meridians, and as his Black Dragon Aura spread, all the formidable Demon Beasts he encountered fled like frightened fish.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen's eyes caught sight of a dark green, sawtooth-shaped Nine Leaves Grass on the canyon wall.

According to the Jade Scroll from Shuili Dan King, this grass is called Nine-Toothed Sea Cucumber, with Spirit Medicine Points totaling five hundred, making it extremely precious!

Upon recognizing it, Ye Zhen instinctively glanced back, finding that the Thunder Clam hadn't pursued him.

"Should've shaken it off, right?"

Relieved, Ye Zhen cautiously approached and picked the Nine-Toothed Sea Cucumber.

But just as Ye Zhen placed the Nine-Toothed Sea Cucumber into his Storage Ring, the sizzling sound of electricity suddenly came from behind, and when Ye Zhen whipped around, his eyes widened in shock.

"Damn, old thief, you're playing with me?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
