Three people, three spirit beasts, and a puppet could barely be regarded as seven Nascent Soul cultivators. As for the stone, Mo Tiange had already ignored it.
Although the stone couldn't be affected by spells, it hadn't taken a human form, and it might never take a human form, so it was impossible for it to hurt these beast cultivators.
On the other hand, after Lao Hei gave the order to kill, he glanced coldly at them, and then he led the demon cultivators away without any reluctance to leave. The low-grade sea beasts that dashed past in the surroundings didn't intend to stay either, and they flew forward as if they were nothing.
More than a dozen beast cultivators were left behind, confronting them with swords drawn.
Nie Wushang was the first to attack. She combined the two from a martial cultivator to a devil cultivator, and her fighting style was direct and fierce.
The color of the devil cloud around her became darker and darker, like a drop of ink, and she rushed toward the beast cultivators.
"Boom!
Boom!
Boom! "Every punch carried the power to crack rocks and mountains, as well as a strange corrosive aura.
The several beast cultivators who rushed in front were caught off guard and hit by her. They flew far away like kites with broken strings.
Seeing this scene, the beast cultivators who didn't take them seriously became a little nervous. At the same time, two ninth-rank and one eighth-rank flew out, intending to surround Nie Wushang.
Mo Tiange snorted and waved the Heaven and Earth Fan. With a roar, an azure dragon appeared, spewing golden lightning and pounced on one of the ninth-rank beast cultivators, throwing him far away from Nie Wushang.
The appearance of the azure dragon shocked the beast cultivator. "Divine Sovereign?
This is the breath of a Divine Sovereign! "
All the beast cultivators were panic-stricken. How could this human have the breath of a Divine Sovereign?
Divine Sovereigns had already disappeared in the human world!
Could it be like what the Qilins in the Xumi Sea said, that the descendants of Divine Sovereigns had appeared?
But what did this have to do with human cultivators?
Or did her magic weapon come from killing Divine Sovereigns …
Before they could figure it out, they suddenly saw the seawater around the small island boil and rush to the other side.
At this time, Yifan was in his human form. He was a young man with a calm face. His blue and gray clothes were fluttering in the fierce sea breeze. At first glance, he looked inconspicuous, but with a little attention, one would find that his whole body was filled with a kind of vast and sacred Spiritual Qi, which made his whole body as transparent as the purest water, clean and without any impurities.
His eyes were tightly closed, and his palms were clasped together as he performed a hand seal. A ball of extremely pure, water-blue Spiritual Qi appeared between his fingers and gradually grew stronger. With the appearance of this ball of Spiritual Qi, the surrounding waves seemed to be controlled by a mysterious power. Even the water-attribute Demon Cultivators among them could not absorb the water Spiritual Qi from it.
When the Spiritual Qi had increased to a certain level, he opened his eyes and pointed a finger. A shadow that was the combination of a turtle and a snake suddenly appeared. It glanced coldly at the crowd of Demon Cultivators, and in an instant, a huge wave that was hundreds of feet high rose from the sea and slammed down on them.
"Crash!"
A huge force came crashing down, and most of the beast cultivators were so shocked that they forgot to move, and were knocked to the ground.
However, it had not been long since Xiaofan advanced, so the Black Tortoise shadow she summoned wasn't very powerful. Moreover, it was shared equally by the crowd of Demon Cultivators, so it only made them uncomfortable for a while.
However, the appearance of the Black Tortoise shadow made these Demon Cultivators go crazy.
"Black Tortoise Divine Sovereign! That's the Black Tortoise Divine Sovereign!" a Demon Cultivator shouted.
"You're surprised just like that?" Feifei snorted and revealed his true form.
He was the first among the few Spirit Beasts to obtain a divine beast's aura. Moreover, what he obtained was a Spirit Beast's true form. He deliberately released it, and the White Tiger's aura that surged all over his body was incomparably strong.
Feifei was shrouded in golden light. In an instant, a White Tiger shadow descended and overlapped with his true form.
"Hah!" With a shout, the White Tiger shadow became clearer and clearer, and the White Tiger's aura also became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, he flew forward, his four feet flat on the ground, and left a series of White Tiger footprints in the air.
With the White Tiger shadow around him, Feifei was like a copper head with iron arms. He crashed into everything in his way without holding back. The Demon Cultivators with slightly lower cultivation were all sent flying by him.
Although he was the last to advance to the eighth rank, his strength grew the fastest after he advanced to the eighth rank.
At that moment, Xiaohuo also revealed her true form. The Vermilion Bird's flames gushed out and burned.
Compared to Xiaofan and Feifei who obtained the divine beast's aura directly, Xiaohuo was a bit weaker. This was because her Vermilion Bird's aura came from Xiaofeng, and she wasn't a descendant of the phoenix, so her bloodline evolution wasn't as thorough as Xiaofeng's.
But she had her advantages. She lived the longest in the Virtual Sky World, ate the most spiritual plants, and had the strongest body.
These Demon Cultivators were already numb. First it was Azure Dragon, then it was Black Tortoise, then White Tiger and Vermilion Bird. How could there be so many Divine Sovereign's auras?
Who were these people in the end?
Should they fight back?
Their instinctive reverence for Divine Sovereigns made them unable to fight back without any scruples.
Right at that moment, the distant horizon suddenly lit up. The blue sky and white clouds contrasted with the flames, making them look particularly distinct. A phoenix cry came from afar.
"Phoenix!" a Demon Cultivator cried out involuntarily as he watched the approaching Firebird.
All the Demon Cultivators' gazes turned in that direction.
"Xiaofeng!" Mo Tiange watched as Xiaofeng leisurely flew closer and stared at these Demon Cultivators with a proud and indifferent gaze.
Although she was only in the eighth rank and among these Demon Cultivators, ninth-rank Demon Cultivators weren't rare, under her gaze, the Demon Cultivators couldn't help but look at her in awe.
After a moment of silence, a Demon Cultivator summoned his courage and asked, "May I ask if you're Lord Divine Sovereign?"
With flames dancing around her, Xiaofeng's entire body was filled with a noble and sacred aura. She answered faintly, "I'm a descendant of a Divine Sovereign."
"Divine Sovereign! It's really a Divine Sovereign!" The Demon Cultivators instantly became restless.
"Calm down! Calm down!" some Demon Cultivators shouted, "There are descendants of Divine Sovereigns in this world. What's so strange about that?
If they're really Divine Sovereigns, why would they be with humans and become enemies with us Demon Cultivators?
Divine Sovereigns are ours, not humans'! "
Upon hearing this, the commotion among the Demon Cultivators quickly subsided, and they began to whisper to each other.
"But this kind of aura … Why isn't it a Divine Sovereign?
We Demon Cultivators have a natural instinct. It's impossible for us to mistake a Divine Sovereign! "
"That's true, but what Big Brother Wu said makes sense. How could a Divine Sovereign ignore us and stand on the humans' side?"
"That's right. In my opinion, these humans used some unknown method to steal the aura left behind by a Divine Sovereign. That's why …"
"Impossible!
If there's really a Divine Sovereign aura left behind, why didn't we Demon Cultivators know about it and let the humans take advantage of it?
They don't have one or two types of Divine Sovereign aura, but four!!
What's the reason for such a coincidence? "
"If it's not a coincidence, it means that they're scheming and harboring evil intentions!"
"… Could it be that they're from Xumi Sea?
Xumi Sea's Sovereign bloodline claims to be the descendants of Divine Sovereign Qilin. With them, doesn't that make all the Five Spiritual Divine Sovereigns? "
"So that's how it is!
This time, Xumi Sea instigated a war with the Sea Clan because they have ulterior motives! "
"Then what's with these Divine Sovereign auras?
What's with this Lord Divine Sovereign?
This can't be faked! "
"…"
"…"
The dozen or so Demon Cultivators couldn't keep calm anymore. As soon as Little Feng appeared, they started to quarrel among themselves.
Lord Daoist Lingxi looked at them in surprise and whispered, "Junior Martial Sister Qingwei, look …"
"Since Little Feng came, it means Senior Martial Brother is safe," Mo Tiange replied.
"It's best if these Demon Cultivators are in a mess without fighting. Fellow Daoist Lao Hei, their leader, isn't easy to deal with. Back then, he had two companions who came out of the Sea of Immortals with us. One of them had a cultivation level not lower than his. Since Lao Hei has advanced to the tenth rank, I'm afraid that person is also …"
Mo Tiange paused and continued, "It turns out they invaded south because they got into trouble with Xumi Sea. Now I have an idea!"
She turned her wrist, and a palm-sized, glowing shell appeared in her hand. The shell seemed to have endless spiritual aura and some mysterious spells.
Mo Tiange picked it up and blew it gently. A wonderful whining sound that seemed to come from the depths of the soul spread throughout the whole sea area.
As soon as this sound was heard, the Demon Cultivators stopped arguing.
After a long time, a Demon Cultivator shouted, "They really are from Xumi Sea!"
As soon as he said that, the Demon Cultivators, no longer afraid of Little Feng, the descendant of a Divine Lord, swarmed over.
"Junior Martial Sister Qingwei …" Lord Daoist Lingxi didn't know what to say about this change.
"We'll have to fight sooner or later. Let's kill them first!" After saying that, she used the Great Heavenly Thunder Spell, and a lightning net fell from the sky.
In an instant, the island was in chaos as humans and demons fought fiercely.
* * *
At the edge of the South Sea, tens of thousands of Sea Clan troops were ready for battle.
The leader was Xuan Miao, the third princess of the South Sea. She no longer looked like Jin Jing in the Six Dao Palace. She was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl wearing a blue palace dress and a Qilin horn on her forehead. She looked mysterious, noble, and aloof.
Not far from her were Xuan Ri and Xuan Yue, and behind her were Dieyi and Ni Qi.
Jing Hu, Jing Tao, and other tenth-rank Demon Cultivators were further away, commanding the Sea Clan troops.
"Report —" From afar, an eighth-rank Demon Cultivator flew over and knelt on one knee in front of Xuan Miao. "Third Princess, the Returning Ruin Sea's army is one day away."
Xuan Miao narrowed her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "How many are above eighth-rank?"
"Third Princess, according to the scouts, there are nine tenth-rank, more than twenty ninth-rank, and about fifty to sixty eighth-rank."
Hearing this number, Dieyi behind Xuan Miao said softly, "More than half of the Returning Ruin Sea's high-level Demon Cultivators are here. It seems they're determined to teach us a lesson this time!"
Xuan Miao laughed mockingly. "They want to teach us a lesson this way?
The Returning Ruin Sea is looking down on us too much!
We don't have fewer high-level Demon Cultivators than them, but they're still waiting for us to exhaust ourselves. They're really not smart enough! "
"Of course."
Dieyi's expression was cold, but her words were respectful. "They're just ordinary Demon Cultivators. How can they compare to the noble bloodline of the Sovereign?
Besides, Third Princess is a real Divine Lord now! "
Xuan Miao was smiling, but her smile suddenly froze and she took out a shell from her bosom.
This shell glowed and was surrounded by spirit energy. At this moment, it vibrated inexplicably and gave off a humming sound.
"Report —" Another eighth-rank Demon Cultivator flew over and knelt in front of Xuan Miao. "Third Princess, a group of humans has stalled about half of the Demon Cultivators. They have the aura of the other four spirits. The Returning Ruin Sea's army has stopped ahead."
"It's them?" Third Princess pondered for a moment and raised her hand. "Send my order, the army is to move out and attack the enemy!"
