King of Creation

"Huang Mian?"

"I never thought I would actually discover the one who boasted that I couldn't leave Shuili Island alive—Huang Mian?"

Upon spotting that familiar silhouette, Ye Zhen abruptly changed direction and followed closely. It wasn't long before Ye Zhen recognized the somewhat familiar figure.

Discovering Huang Mian, who had been hunting him, indicated one thing.

The temporary hunting team had most likely given up on chasing Ye Zhen and dispersed to act independently.

After all, if they were truly after Ye Zhen, they should be operating within a thousand-mile range of the undersea canyon, not appearing in the deep sea three thousand miles away, where only a Ninth Stage Establishment King can survive.

Of course, nothing is absolute. Perhaps Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, had instructed them beforehand and informed them that Ye Zhen could ignore the water pressure?

Therefore, in the instant he spotted Huang Mian's figure, Ye Zhen didn't act immediately. Instead, he slowly approached, continuously attaching his Divine Sense to the Water Spiritual Power, observing the situation around Huang Mian.

Being cautious is never a mistake; if there truly is another Ninth Stage Establishment King near Huang Mian, it could spell the end for Ye Zhen.

Sixty miles, fifty miles, forty miles, Ye Zhen continued to draw closer.

When Ye Zhen was forty miles away from Huang Mian, he could finally confirm that within sixty miles around Huang Mian, there were no other martial artists present.

"Running into me here can only be described as unfortunate for you!" A hint of a cold smile appeared on Ye Zhen's lips, and he immediately made up his mind.

Such a great opportunity cannot be missed just like that.

Because it's quite evident that Ye Zhen observed Huang Mian was struggling somewhat in these deep-sea three thousand miles.

The Protective Battle Armor around him kept fluctuating under the pressure of the deep sea, forcing Huang Mian to split his focus to counter the water pressure.

Moreover, Ye Zhen noted that Huang Mian encountered three waves of sea monsters consecutively, choosing to restrain his presence early and avoid them from afar, not daring to provoke them.

Including three Mid-Grade Spirit Tier beasts, Huang Mian avoided them from a distance, continuously gathering various Spiritual Medicines and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Judging by the look of delight on his face, his gains were quite substantial.

Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at this ocean depth are not something even Stars Tower can effortlessly acquire.

Every Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure appearing here is extremely precious on land, even costing a fortune.

Whether handed over to Shuili Dan King or kept for personal use, these are of significant value.

Ye Zhen speculated that this should be the reason for Huang Mian's presence here.

Ye Zhen carefully observed Huang Mian for half a quarter-hour and noted that approximately thirty percent of Huang Mian's Spiritual Power was used to resist the terrifying water pressure.

The impact of thirty percent Spiritual Power affects Huang Mian's abilities by less than ten percent.

However, Huang Mian cultivates the Golden Spirit Power, known for its lethality, which isn't countered by seawater like Fire Spirit Power. Still, under the pervasive water pressure at the seabed, it suffers quite a bit of impact.

Ye Zhen estimated that in this place, Huang Mian could only exert eighty percent of his strength and speed.

Yet, considering Huang Mian's status as the Seventh Elder of Stars Tower, a key figure in the Huang Family within Stars Tower, who knows what kind of life-saving treasures he might possess? If he were to go all out, despite Ye Zhen having an advantage, the outcome would be uncertain.

After weighing his options, Ye Zhen decided to achieve maximum gain at minimum cost.

In such a scenario, a sneak attack is most effective!

Having devised such a plan, Ye Zhen's body shimmered with Spirit Light and vanished in an instant, replaced by a giant One-tailed Crab King.

Phantom Form!

This is the capability of the Mirage Dragon Pearl's Phantom Form.

Even better, supported by the Black Dragon Water Spirit Power within Ye Zhen's Black Dragon Martial Meridians, the One-tailed Crab King appeared dark crimson in color, exuding a dense water force.

During the transformation, Ye Zhen also channeled a wisp of Mirage Energy from the Mirage Martial Meridian, making the One-tailed Crab King's aura profound and elusive, hard to discern.

After all preparations were complete, water waves rippled as the One-tailed Crab King's figure appeared dozens of miles away.

Huang Mian's mood was extremely pleasant.

For the first time, he discovered such a bountiful location for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Therefore, despite knowing the dangers of this place, he cautiously avoided threats while harvesting these treasures.

Huang Mian holds a considerable position within Stars Tower, ranked as the Seventh Elder, ranking among the top fifteen within all of Stars Tower, and among the top five within the Huang Family of Stars Tower.

Normally, he lacks no resources for cultivation, and his usual gains are quite substantial.

However, martial artists are exceedingly greedy. No one would complain about excess cultivation resources. Moreover, Huang Mian has many children, including a few beloved daughters with promising talents that he wishes to nurture carefully.

As the Seventh Elder of Stars Tower, he also commands a certain faction of loyalists that need nurturing with substantial resources.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at this ocean depth, collecting seven or eight types, would equal his annual income.

How could he not be thrilled?

"It would be even better if there weren't those pesky demon beasts!"

Suddenly, Huang Mian, who had been alert to his surroundings, noticed a giant crab-shaped demon beast heading towards him from fifteen miles away.

However, judging by the speed and formation, it seems it is not coming towards him.

"Is this an Early Stage Spirit Tier? Or maybe a Mid Stage Spirit Tier Demon Beast?"

After pondering for a moment, Huang Mian decided to abandon the idea of making a move. He could easily slay an Early Stage Spirit Tier Demon Beast, but don't forget this is three thousand miles deep in the sea, and part of his strength is suppressed by the water pressure.

Moreover, once he takes action, the bloody scent from killing this beast might attract a large number of terrifying Demon Beasts, and any mishap could end his treasure-hunting journey here.

Therefore, out of caution, Huang Mian chose to avoid.

With a slight move of his Divine Sense, Huang Mian concealed his aura to the utmost, suspended there without a hint of movement, half-closed eyes, watching that Crab-shaped Demon Beast pass by two to three miles in front of him with faint peripheral vision.

Suddenly, the figure of the passing Crab-shaped Demon Beast slightly weakened, its large head turned towards Huang Mian's direction, the eyes flickered as though it discovered something.

Seeing this, Huang Mian hurriedly closed his eyes, thinking perhaps his peripheral vision had caught the attention of the crab-shaped Demon Beast.

However, Huang Mian couldn't have imagined that just as he closed his eyes, a pair of eyes appeared in the middle of the Crab-shaped Demon Beast's forehead.

Those eyes, extremely small compared to the huge head, were more like human eyes.

A dark scarlet brilliance suddenly burst forth from those eyes.

Almost simultaneously, Huang Mian's heart suddenly trembled, a previously unfelt sense of crisis surged in his heart, simultaneously sensing a majestic wave of Divine Soul Waves.

Instinctively, Huang Mian suddenly opened his eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, Huang Mian saw a dark scarlet brilliance shooting straight at him, the moment his eyes just opened, it blasted into his brow.

Instantly, within the Spirit Palace, it was like heaven and earth collapsing, the Seven Spirit Pillars radiated with thousands of glowing rays, desperately trying to suppress that power.

But that dark scarlet brilliance, like a sky-turning Flood Dragon, instantly shattered his Seven Spirit Pillars into numerous cracks!

Bang!

Blood spurted crazily from Huang Mian's seven orifices.

Dozens of Black Spirit Ropes began to appear out of thin air on Huang Mian's body, tightening instantly!

In an instant, Huang Mian felt his body was about to fall apart, and at this moment, blood spurted from Huang Mian's eyes, he vaguely saw the figure before him.

"Ye Zhen, how could it......"

The moment he saw it clearly, Huang Mian's eyes widened with rage, but before he could speak, under the horrifying power of the Black Dragon Twist, Huang Mian's flesh was disintegrated into hundreds of pieces.

His two eyeballs shot out suddenly, explosively shattering under the terrifying deep-sea water pressure!

Ye Zhen quickly collected the remnants of Huang Mian's Innate Divine Soul, stripped off Huang Mian's Storage Ring, scattered a splash of water at the spot, and Ye Zhen's figure vanished into the direction.

Just ten breaths later, the surrounding seawater shook violently, dozens of spirit tier beasts attracted by the scent of blood screamed and began a fierce battle over the delicious blood food.

....

Ye Zhen also didn't expect that his hunting action would be so effortless.

A Ninth Stage Mid-Establishment King was hunted down so effortlessly by him.

The powers bestowed by the Black Dragon Martial Meridians and the secret techniques provided by the Mirage Dragon Species made Ye Zhen terrifyingly formidable underwater.

Of course, mainly because Huang Mian was careless, wasn't expecting that the Crab-shaped Demon Beast was actually a person, and it would be Ye Zhen eager to kill him!

With this experience, Ye Zhen's confidence swelled rapidly.

If he could hunt down Huang Mian, then could Ye Zhen also hunt down Yan Family's Yan Wuluo, Green Robe Dragon King Yuh Changkong, Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben, who were chasing him?

If these people are also active in this part of the sea right now!

And Ye Zhen also believed, ten to eight of them are definitely operating in the sea zone between two and three thousand miles deep.

Especially the two Dragon Kings of the Dragon Alliance.

They've witnessed the mystical powers of the Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe's Black Dragon Legacy, so naturally they understand Ye Zhen, possessing the other half of the Black Dragon Legacy, is no ordinary person.

Since they couldn't find Ye Zhen's trace in the thousand-mile deep sea, ten to eight would continue to delve deeper.

Thus, Ye Zhen's hunt continues again.

Unfortunately, this sea zone is too vast, stretching 480,000 miles, with the narrowest part of the canyon at least a hundred miles wide, and over 4,000 miles deep, finding one or two people in such a broad marine area within half a day is difficult.

Even for Ye Zhen, it is rather difficult!

In half a day, Ye Zhen only encountered two Eighth Stage Establishment Kings from Stars Tower, which he dealt with readily, yet he did not spot a single big fish!

However, as the saying goes, foes always meet.

With three days nearing the end for collecting Spiritual Medicines in the undersea canyon, just as Ye Zhen was planning to leave, Ye Zhen unexpectedly encountered Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben, who almost caused Ye Zhen's death earlier on the island!

Moreover, what amazed Ye Zhen even more was Wind Wing Dragon King Bian Ben's current predicament! (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
