"Roar, roar!"
Near noon, when Su Chen was resting on the Emperor Fire Qilin's warm back, the Emperor Fire Qilin suddenly stopped and roared at the sea below.
The Black Phoenix said, "Let's go down and take a look."
The Kylin immediately landed on the sea.
Su Chen and Chan Miao also got up and saw an ice island floating on the sea in front of them. The blue ice gave off a bone-chilling coldness. They didn't know where this ice island came from, but it seemed that most of it had melted, leaving only a small part.
"Look, there are corpses on the island."
Chan Miao said.
Su Chen unfolded the Wind Thunder Fire Wings and flew up. He saw the corpses were the same as the cultivators on the Iron-armored Ship. All of them had sunken foreheads and their Sea of Consciousness shattered.
"There's poisonous gas. Be careful," Su Chen said.
The Black Phoenix flew over and frowned. "It's the work of the Sea Race again. These damn guys have been killing innocent people on the Golden Waters. I don't know what's wrong with them."
"Is it the work of the Sea Race?" Su Chen asked.
The Black Phoenix said, "This poison comes from the deep sea. It's extracted from the tears of a kind of sea demon. It's similar to the poison of the Bitter Sea, but it's more ferocious. Even Reincarnation Realm cultivators would be seriously threatened if they were poisoned."
Chan Miao flew over and said, "I know about the Sea Race. They should be the most mysterious race on the Xuanyuan Continent. They live in the deep sea for tens of thousands of years. Very few people have seen their true faces. The sea demons we usually see are just servants of the Sea Race. The real Sea Race almost never comes to shore."
The Black Phoenix said, "These people have just died. Their blood hasn't turned cold yet. The Sea Race should still be nearby. Kylin, burn this sea for me."
"Roar!"
The Kylin roared and spat out a terrifying flame toward the sea. The flame directly penetrated the sea and surged into the deep sea.
In the blink of an eye, the sea within a radius of a few thousand meters began to heat up rapidly. Then, a large area boiled. Countless fish and shrimps were cooked and floated to the surface. The two giant whales also roared miserably in the sea and hurriedly fled.
"What a terrifying flame!"
Chan Miao also exclaimed, "This Empyrean Fire Qilin is worthy of being a primordial mutated beast. It's too formidable."
"The best is yet to come."
The Black Phoenix yelled again, "Use Flame Explosion!"
"Roar!"
The Emperor Fire Kylin took a deep breath and opened its mouth again, spitting out a huge light ball more than ten meters in diameter.
The light emitted by the ball of light was incomparably dazzling. It was like a small sun that contained terrifying power.
With a loud rumble, the Imperial Fire Qilin spat out the ball of light into the deep sea.
A few seconds later, it was as if the entire sea had been detonated. Horrifying huge waves surged up to a thousand meters high, even drowning the clouds in the sky.
It was as if doomsday had arrived.
Su Chen was speechless. This Flame Explosion was too frightening.
"Black Phoenix Princess, are there other Emperor Fire Qilins in this world?" Su Chen couldn't help but ask.
He really wanted to have such a pet.
The Black Phoenix said, "There is only one Emperor Fire Qilin in the Xuanyuan Continent. There are a few mutated beasts that are on par with the Emperor Fire Qilin, but they are all controlled by the experts of the major forces. No matter how much money you have, you can't buy them. If you want to subdue a mutated beast, wait until you break through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm and try your luck at the Immemorial Island. You might be able to obtain a mutated beast's cub."
"Immemorial Island?"
Su Chen wanted to ask more, but suddenly, there was a commotion from the bottom of the sea.
"Damned demoness, you actually dare to kill my sea race's disciples. You will pay the price for this!"
A fishman with a mouth full of sharp teeth, gills on his neck, and a shark fin on his back leaped out from the sea.
"A stinky fish dares to make a fuss in front of me?!"
The Black Phoenix snorted. She didn't even bother to make a move herself. The Emperor Fire Qilin pounced over and bit the fishman. Flames spewed out, turning the fishman into a barbecued shark.
"Boss Shark!"
Seeing the fishman being devoured, another large group of fishmen leaped out from the bottom of the sea. These sea demons had different shapes and sizes. There were octopuses, sea turtles, clams, and some unrecognizable sea demons. Their strength wasn't weak, and their average cultivation level was at the Reincarnation Realm.
It was a pity that their enemies were the Black Phoenix and the Emperor Fire Qilin.
With two Sea of Circulation Realm experts present, they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.
In the blink of an eye, most of the sea demons became the Emperor Fire Qilin's seafood feast. Only the Lobster Spirit with a pair of big pincers was left behind.
The Black Phoenix asked the Emperor Fire Qilin to bring the Lobster Spirit over and questioned, "My Thousand Demon Nation has always tolerated your sea race. But your sea race actually went overboard and killed my Thousand Demon Nation's people time and time again. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'm afraid this matter will not end well."
"I … I don't know anything."
The Lobster Spirit trembled as he spoke.
"Put him down!"
Right at this moment, the whirlpool on the sea surface surged, and a muscular man with silver radiance flew out.
Su Chen immediately pulled Chan Miao and retreated behind the Black Phoenix.
This guy's aura was very strong. He was obviously a Sea Wheel Realm expert. It was better to leave this to the Black Phoenix and the Emperor Fire Qilin.
Chan Miao chuckled and said, "You can be afraid too."
"Nonsense, I'm not an iron fool."
When it was time to be reckless, one had to be reckless. When it was time to be cowardly, one had to give in.
"Who are you?"
The Black Phoenix frowned slightly. Although the appearance of the Murloc in front of her was a little strange, looking like an oarfish, his strength was indeed very strong. He might even be on par with her. He should have passed the No Doubts Tribulation.
This level of expert was definitely not an ordinary sea demon. He might be someone from the sea race.
"North Sea Guard of the sea race, Silver Emperor of the vanguard!"
"You are indeed a piece of trash from the sea race."
The Black Phoenix snorted and raised a dark light to envelop the Lobster Spirit. The Lobster Spirit instantly shriveled up and died!
"You are courting death!"
The Silver Emperor was furious and appeared in front of the Black Phoenix in a flash.
But before he could do anything, he was slapped away by the Emperor Fire Qilin.
The Emperor Fire Qilin was so fierce that it would not sit back and watch its master get hurt. It immediately spat out Flame Explosion at the Silver Emperor, and the sea water surged up again.
"What a powerful Qilin!"
The Silver Emperor spat out a mouthful of blood and quickly sank into the water.
"Go after it."
The Black Phoenix ordered.
The Emperor Fire Qilin was not afraid of the sea water. It sank into the sea and chased after the Silver Emperor.
Rumble!
Fierce flames burst out from the bottom of the sea. It seemed that the Emperor Fire Qilin had caught up with the Silver Emperor.
Soon, the Emperor Fire Qilin flew out of the sea surface.
"Did it run away?
Forget it, don't chase it. After all, the sea is the home ground of the sea race. Continue … "
Just as the Black Phoenix finished speaking, a silver light suddenly burst out from the Emperor Fire Qilin's feet.
A strange fragrance swept toward the Black Phoenix.
"Oh no!"
The Black Phoenix only felt that the world was spinning, and her sense of perception trembled violently.
She was poisoned!
"Kill it!"
The Black Phoenix, who was on the verge of collapse, shouted with all her strength. Then, she blacked out.
