Chapter 1311: On Its Deathbed

As long as Shark Awn left, Silver Umber Black would take the two sea-king experts under it and flee for their lives. The sea was so boundless that it would be impossible for Shark Awn to find them as long they hid in earnest.

As such, Silver Umber Black fiercely shrieked, “Do you know who you just attacked? Are you trying to break the agreement between the Radiance Federation and the Eight Clans of Sea Emperors and start a war?”

Shark Awn shot Silver Umber Black a look of derision and replied, “The First Emperor Cutlass Clan is now one of the lesser five clans. It’s no wonder that the members have become short-sighted.

“In the entire world, 30% of it is land which is cohabited by humans and feys. The remaining 70% is the sea, which is under the jurisdiction of the sea clans. The sea clans have no use for the land’s resources. The agreement only exists because the sea clans don’t want to cause unnecessary trouble.

“As long as I have the ability to take down everybody here and prevent the information from leaking, who will find out that I’m the perpetrator? If the Radiance Federation decides to pursue the matter, they should come after you as the most likely target, given that your territory is closest to them. But if you’re dead and the whale fall is gone, they’ll assume that you’re guilty and on the run. When that happens, the First Emperor Cutlass Clan will be chased out as punishment for your actions.”

Silver Umber Black took a deep breath. It had not expected Shark Awn to be trying to bring about the downfall of the entire First Emperor Cutlass Clan as well.

If Lin Yuan and An He’s group had not been fighting with Silver Umber Black over the whale fall’s resources, Silver Umber Black might have encountered the black thorns when it went underwater to check on the formation of the whale fall.

If that had happened, it would not be the Moon Empress’ disciple’s Myth Breed fey that the black thorns had pierced, but Silver Umber Black.

Silver Umber Black had only just come of age and did not want to die yet.

It thought about An He, Lin Yuan, and Liu Jie’s status before glancing at the elderly man behind An He. Silver Umber Black gathered its courage and shouted, “Shark Awn, you’re only Immortal VIII. This human elderly man’s fey is at pinnacle Immortal. Although you have an advantage in the sea, you won’t be able to catch the old man if he makes a run for it. When that happens, the people from the Radiance Federation will realize that you’re behind all of it. Even if I die, you won’t be able to use me as your scapegoat.”

Shark Awn’s expression of menacing amusement intensified as it replied, “Silver Umber Black, do you think I’m as dumb as you? Coincidentally, I reached Immortal IX not long ago and gained my Immortal body!”

A few dark red aquatic plants that resembled tentacles squirmed their way out of Shark Awn’s hand. Shark Awn flipped its hand over, and the aquatic plants dripped into the sea like blood.

From the moment that Shark Awn rose from the sea, the Sea Emperors immediately released their pinnacle Immortal aura.

Shark Awn softly said, “Weave and drink, Crimson Tentacle Algae!”

Suddenly, red algae shot out of the sea and grew to almost 10,000 meters tall. The twisting tentacle-like Crimson Tentacle Algae weaved together until they formed a cage that trapped this area of the sea.

It was as though they had formed a giant theater where the red waves were performing the play of tragedy that was about to unfold.

The red algae cage sealed this area of the sea off, and its aura was completely cut off from the rest of the world.

The elderly man’s face fell.

Even if he used all the power within him, he had no confidence in safely delivering An He from a pinnacle Immortal Sea Emperor. Moreover, this pinnacle Immortal Sea Emperor had already unleashed its sacred source lifeform.

The elderly man also had a sacred source lifeform. He might not be a Creation Master, but he could use his 6 Stars sacred source lifeform to sense how many Stars this Immortal expert’s sacred source lifeform had.

Unfortunately, the elderly man anxiously realized that compared with the aura of his sacred source lifeform, the Crimson Tentacle Algae was slightly stronger. This meant that the Crimson Tentacle Algae was at least pinnacle 6 Stars.

Shark Awn was stronger than the elderly man while they were in the sea, and its sacred source lifeform was also more powerful than the elderly man’s sacred source lifeform. The odds were stacked too unfavorably against them, and there was no point in trying to use brute force.

The elderly man looked at the playful Shark Awn and sneered. “Looking at you, you’re probably a member of the First Emperor Shark Clan. Given your power, you must be one of their more powerful experts. So, you must know the truth about the agreement that the other sea clans might not know about. What you said completely differs from what the leader of the First Emperor Shark Clan said when it signed the agreement. The person standing before you is Young Lord He. He’s Long Lamplight’s disciple. If you leave quickly now, I can pretend nothing happened today.”

Shark Awn’s expression changed, and it stared at Silver Umber Black. It did not understand how Silver Umber Black had suddenly come to be in the company of the disciples of the Radiance Federation’s royalty.

Shark Awn frowned slightly as it weighed the costs and benefits of its future actions.

Meanwhile, Shadow had left Lin Yuan’s shadow.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, the Kill Food Sky Butterfly, and Shadow surrounded the Mother of Bloodbath. Their eyes were so red that it seemed that blood would drip from them at any moment.

From the moment the Flame-Footed Light Smoke Beast brought the Mother of Bloodbath back to the island, Lin Yuan rested his hand on the Mother of Bloodbath’s wrist.

He circulated his spiritual power to use spirit qi to sense the Mother of Bloodbath’s condition. The deeper he searched, the more terrified he became.

Lin Yuan realized that the black thorns had almost ripped the Mother of Bloodbath to shreds from the inside out.

He was a Creation Master and had seen more than his fair share of feys in a near-dead state. However, this was the first time he was coming across such serious injuries. At that moment, the Mother of Bloodbath’s body was nothing more than a mutilated pile of flesh.

The Mother of Bloodbath was now well and truly on its deathbed, and death was knocking right on its door.

Lin Yuan desperately unlocked his Vitality Imprint. The burgeoning vitality flowed from Lin Yuan’s palm into the Mother of Bloodbath’s wrist and to the rest of its body.

However, despite a wave of vitality being injected into its body, the Mother of Bloodbath’s condition did not take a turn for the better, and the Mother of Bloodbath’s root vitality continued to slip away.

The injection of vitality did fill the Mother of Bloodbath with strength.

The Mother of Bloodbath tried to talk. But, it realized that it did not have the strength to verbalize words.

It looked deeply into Lin Yuan’s eyes. Usually, its eyes were filled with cold sharpness. But now, its gaze was soft and filled with lonely reluctance.
