Chapter 1628 (Raw 1610): Sea Tyrant

Inside the tree hole, Xiao Chen entered deep thought.

He had heard clearly everything the old man said, and was considering countermeasures.

This was an opportunity. However, if Xiao Chen did not grasp it properly, the result would be the same. It would just be a matter of dying in the jaws of a Black Star Sawtooth Shark or in the hands of a sect expert.

Actually, there was not much difference. In fact, the latter might be worse. At least the former would be a quick death.

Xiao Chen waited quietly and observed first, to see how that old man intended to deal with the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.

Even if the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief looked ferocious but was weak, the hundreds of other Black Star Sawtooth Sharks would not be easy to deal with.

Each mature Black Star Sawtooth Shark would be at least as strong as an early-stage Major Primal Core cultivator. Some were even as strong as a late-stage Major Primal Core cultivator.

These Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were not much weaker than the gray-clad old man.

Xiao Chen took special note that this old man and two youths were not riding a ship. Instead, there was an oceanic ferocious beast under them.

That ferocious beast was a tortoise-like beast that resembled the Black Tortoise. Clearly, it had been tamed.

After four hours, two red dots appeared in the sky. As the red dots approached, Xiao Chen discovered that they were two giant sea birds with ferocious gazes.

When Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, saw this scene, he felt somewhat shocked.

The sect that the gray-robed old man belonged to had to have some special means to tame ferocious beasts. If not, then they were a sect that focused on taming ferocious beasts.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The two ferocious sea birds hovered above the sea. As they flapped their wings, they instantly kicked up one-kilometer-tall waves.

A strong wind blew over the sea, rumbling strangely.

Xiao Chen did not recognize this sea bird. Their claws were like metal hooks flickering with cold light. Their wings were like sharp scimitars. As they flapped their wings, they were like sharp, unsheathed sabers.

The feathers on the bird looked like metal, shining with a metallic gleam.

"Senior Brother, why did you call for us so urgently, even getting us to bring the Cold Steel Eagles—something rare in our sect?"

"We spent a lot of effort to get the Sect Master's permission for this."

Two slightly younger old men in attire similar to the gray-clad old man's stood on the sea birds.

The gray-clad old man smiled and projected his aura once more. Then, the storm caused by the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks calmed again.

"Black Star Sawtooth Sharks. That is…"

"The Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree! The sea's Tree of Life!"

The eyes of the two old men on the Cold Steel Eagles immediately lit up as they instantly understood the gray-clad old man's intentions.

The gargantuan Tree of Life was several kilometers tall, floating on the surface of the sea. Xiao Chen remained well hidden in the insignificant tree hole.

As he looked at the two Cold Steel Eagles, he felt doubtful. Could Cold Steel Eagles deal with all the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?

However, his doubts were dispelled in the next moment. He learned that the sea birds that could fly in the starry sea were all tyrants of the sea.

Many creatures and things in the world countered each other. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were very strong; hence, most late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates were reluctant to clash with them.

However, everything in the world had its own natural predator.

That was right. For the Black Star Sawtooth Shark, that would be this Cold Steel Eagle, a famous ferocious beast in the Grave Sea. The feathers on its body were as sharp as cold steel, its body as hard as metal.

The Cold Steel Eagle did not fear the corrosion of the starry sea. Just one of its feathers was said to be worth a city, extremely hard to get.

The two old men jumped onto the tortoise beast's back and blew a small exquisite flute. The pleasant melody of the flute immediately spread everywhere, echoing over the surface of the sea, and sounded exceptionally sweet.

When the flute trilled, the two Cold Steel Eagles immediately entered a combat state, spreading their wings and attacking.

Every time the Cold Steel Eagles swooped down, their claws would gouge out six bloody wounds in the bodies of the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.

The Cold Steel Eagles' sharp beaks easily pecked holes in the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks' skin.

More importantly, these Cold Steel Eagles were ice-attributed. The wounds they inflicted froze, unable to recover.

Their speed was as fast as lightning. The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks could not catch them at all.

Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks cried out miserably. The sea quickly dyed red, giving off a heavy, bloody stench.

As for the Black Star Sawtooth Shark chief, which posed the greatest threat to the Cold Steel Eagles, it was on its last breath. The Tree of Life had nearly drained it, and only an empty husk was left.

This was simply a miserable scene. The strong Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were getting killed without being able to retaliate, so the remaining ones dove into the water.

Even so, these Black Star Sawtooth Sharks found it difficult to escape the danger since these Cold Steel Eagles could enter the water for short periods.

Working together, the two Cold Steel Eagles lifted a Black Star Sawtooth Shark into the air, their hooklike claws digging deep into its flesh.

Then, the two Cold Steel Eagles flew in different directions, creating a bloody scene.

The Black Star Sawtooth Shark was torn apart, and its blood spilled into the air. The scene was so cruel that Xiao Chen could not bear to watch, either.

The remaining Black Star Sawtooth Sharks no longer dared to show themselves, diving deep into the sea.

Suddenly, the flute music became sharper, and the two Cold Steel Eagles flapped their wings and brought them together. Feathers containing cold Qi shot into the water.

Blood spread, and waves soared up from the bottom of the sea. The entire Black Star Sawtooth Shark tribe fled frantically far away in fear of being killed.

The two Cold Steel Eagles gained a complete victory!

Xiao Chen, who personally witnessed this scene, understood something: if he saw sea birds that could fly in the starry sea in the future, he should quickly avoid them.

These were the natural tyrants of the sea, the birds of the starry sea!

The tortoise beast remained in the water, carrying the smiling five people towards the Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree. Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, was immediately plunged back into danger.

He had originally been planning to use the chaos while the other party was fighting a ferocious battle with the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks to leave.

However, the battle ended up one-sided; there had been no chance at all.

If the other party knew that Xiao Chen had already emptied out the pure Life Juice Source of this tree, Xiao Chen would not survive even if he had nine lives.

The five on the tortoise beast chatted heartily. Xiao Chen, who was in the tree hole, could hear their conversation.

One kilometer…nine hundred meters…eight hundred meters…

When the tortoise beast was only five hundred meters away from the Tree of Life, Xiao Chen braced himself and came out of the tree hole.

Then, he revealed a happy smile as if seeing his savior. He performed a grateful cupped-fist salute and said, "Junior Xiao Chen thanks the various seniors for saving my life."

"Whoosh!"

When Xiao Chen suddenly appeared, he startled the five. Who could have anticipated that there was someone among the hundreds of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks?

However, when the gray-robed old man saw that Xiao Chen was merely a half-step Primal Core cultivator, he immediately revealed a cold smile.

"Speak! Why are you in the Starry Sea Fluorescent Tree?" the gray-clad old man shouted, flaunting his might as he coldly eyed Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen calmed himself and explained unhurriedly, "This junior's ship overturned in the storm, and everyone scattered. I was lucky and ran into this strange tree. However, those Black Star Sawtooth Sharks quickly surrounded me. Fortunately, Seniors made a move earlier, saving me."

The gray-clad old man smiled and said, "That is reasonable and logical. You are not flustered and did not try to avoid our gazes. You do not look like you are lying. However, do you think I will believe you?"

"No."

When Xiao Chen heard that, he smiled helplessly. This gray-clad old man was experienced. Xiao Chen's acting skills would not get him through this problem.

However, it was a good thing that Xiao Chen had taken the initiative to reveal himself. Had he tried to flee right away, he would have died on the spot in the hands of three late-stage Major Primal Core Venerates.

When the gray-clad old man saw Xiao Chen's calm appearance, he laughed, "Based on your air, you are no ordinary person. My Beast Governing Sect is a righteous sect and will not kill for no reason. Hand over your storage ring and follow us back to our Beast Governing Sect. After we verify your identity, if you are not of an evil sect, we will naturally let you go."

These conditions were very stringent; the gray-clad old man managed this very well, taking many things into consideration.

After living for so long, the gray-clad old man knew that there were some people who should not be killed. He trusted his judgment in this.

This white-clad youth before the gray-clad old man possessed an extraordinary air and did not fluster before danger. He was definitely not an ordinary person.

If the gray-clad old man could avoid killing this person, it would be best to do so. Obtaining this person's storage ring would already ensure he maximized his own benefits.

Otherwise, the seniors of this youth might come to find fault with them. The gray-clad old man knew when to advance and withdraw, coming out with a condition that the other party would have difficulty rejecting.

"Sorry, this junior cannot accept this condition."

Xiao Chen immediately rejected the gray-clad old man's terms and pushed off with his feet to soar into the air.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen fly far away, the three Major Primal Core Venerates shook their heads slightly with mocking expressions on their faces.

With two Cold Steel Eagles by their side, this person actually dared to flee into the air in the starry sea.

Showing off was no good.

The flute music rang out again, and the two Cold Steel Eagles cocked their heads back. Then, they locked their cold eyes on Xiao Chen before crying out and spreading their wings to take flight.

The others climbed onto the Tree of Life, no longer looking at Xiao Chen, considering him already a dead man.
