Chapter 1274: Chapter 1049: North Sea Investigation

Above the North Sea.

Two people sped across the surface of the sea.

One of them, a man with a gloomy expression and a lean build, was He Xianyin, who had broken through the Earth Tribulation.

Beside him was a woman with short red hair and dressed in sleek black attire, exuding a refreshing and capable aura, Liu Mei, the Fourth Stage Royal Envoy of White Tiger Imperial.

The two were grouped together, flying north along this direction for investigation.

Suddenly, He Xianyin seemed to sense something and turned his head to look to the side.

"Is there a situation?" Liu Mei asked alertly.

He Xianyin raised an eyebrow: "Not a situation from the north... but we must be cautious."

Liu Mei followed He Xianyin’s gaze, glanced twice, and then continued onward with him.

Several kilometers away, two people in white Holy Robes were staring at a Water Mirror in front of them.

"People from Great Flame are coming." A handsome man with blue curly hair, seemingly from aristocratic background, spoke slowly.

Beside him, Rose, with golden long hair, frowned and said, "Helen, do you need to warn them? Just now, during the Dragon Vein contention, Great Flame benefited more than us."

Helen replied slowly: "Great Flame is in the south, we are in the north. If these Demon Beasts head south, we will be the first to face the greatest crisis!"

Upon hearing this, Rose raised an eyebrow and did not speak further...

He Xianyin and Liu Mei moved along, and soon discovered the entire sea area ahead at the edge of their vision was shrouded in an infinite grey mist!

"What is that...?" Liu Mei’s eyes flickered with flames but couldn’t see clearly.

He Xianyin raised his hand, forming a seal, white mist swirling in his eyes as he looked intently.

The sea beneath the grey mist was chaotic, constantly switching between sea and land... the sea area was continuously transforming into land!

Moreover, the aura of this land... was precisely the aura of the Void Realm!

"What does it mean... Could it be that the Void Realm is being directly cast over the boundless sea?!"

Both Liu Mei and He Xianyin felt a chill in their hearts, this transformation of moving mountains and filling seas was simply akin to a divine miracle!

"It’s a Divine Artifact... it must be a Divine Artifact to achieve this!" Liu Mei said in a deep voice.

At this moment, He Xianyin suddenly narrowed his pupils and shouted, "Be careful!"

In the next instant, a shadow hurtled ahead like a giant stone from a catapult, rushing towards Liu Mei.

In a flash of red light, Liu Mei pulled out her Fire Saber and held it in front.

"Dang...!"

With a muffled sound, Liu Mei was immediately sent flying!

At the same time, the Space around He Xianyin subtly fluctuated, and numerous invisible Water Snakes formed from the condensed water vapor came to entangle him!

He Xianyin’s crisis awareness was exceptionally acute, with Spirit Light flowing around him, retreating like a White Snake from the surrounding Water Snakes.

However, more water vapor gathered behind, forming a Water Net that enveloped him.

He Xianyin’s eyes focused, raising his hand to transform into the head of a White Dragon, unleashing beams of white light towards the rear.

"Boom boom boom...!"

The Water Net shattered, successive White Dragon Cannon shots finally blasted through a large number of Water Snakes, and his figure flickered as he flashed from its midst.

Watching Liu Mei steadying her position beside him, He Xianyin asked: "Are you okay?"

"I’m fine, just a minor issue." Liu Mei licked the blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, the grip of her right hand holding the saber showed a few cracks.

"Oh, are there people from this Continent again?" Ahead, a young man with long hair like Water Snakes emerged from the grey mist.

Beside him, the shadow that had struck Liu Mei was a bald man with muscles akin to stone or rock.

But, unlike the youth with Water Snake hair, the bald man was dressed in simple robes, with a yellow mountain-shaped emblem on his shoulder...

He was indeed a King Level Expert of the Yellow Stone Tribe, one of the eight major tribes of the North Continent!

"Grey Realm Star Beast and the defected Yellow Stone Tribe..." Liu Mei surveyed the two individuals ahead.

These two didn’t conceal their aura at all.

The Water Snake-haired youth was Third Stage, while the bald man from Yellow Stone Tribe... was Fourth Stage, same as Liu Mei!

He Xianyin’s expression slightly darkened: "Seems like trouble... Liu Mei, can you handle it?"

Liu Mei gripped her long saber tightly, bursts of Red Flame radiance rising: "Handling it or not, we have to—we can’t leave easily now..."

The Water Snake-haired youth spread his hands, the rich Water Law fluctuations emanating from his palms.

The sea below surged up, numerous Water Snakes soared to the sky and converged overhead, forming a hemisphere Water Barrier on the sea surface within a few breaths.

The Water Snakes continuously wandered within the Water Barrier, clearly an entrapping Domain Skill.

He Xianyin’s expression subtly darkened, immediately raising his left hand to transform into the head of a White Dragon, charging shots of White Dragon Cannon towards a specific spot nearby.

Each Cannon’s power was comparable to Second or Third Grade Skills, with concentrated attacks causing the Water Barrier to tremble incessantly.

But inside, countless Water Snakes kept repairing the breached Water Barrier.

"It seems to be close to a Fifth Grade Skill, hard to break." He Xianyin said solemnly.

"Still thinking you can escape?" The Water Snake-haired youth sneered, "Since you’ve come, you’re all going to stay!"

He flipped his hand to produce a curved and slender Snake Sword, transforming into a snake-like dart to slash at He Xianyin!

He Xianyin drew a short sword to block in front, but was instantly pushed back by the opponent!

"First Stage New King? Your strength seems a bit weak..." The Water Snake-haired youth grinned, "Humans, weak flesh, same in any world."

Liu Mei shouted, "He Xianyin, hang in there first! I’ll deal with this big guy and come help you!"

With a flash of Red Fire, Liu Mei instantly engaged in combat with the Stone Skin man.

He Xianyin’s face darkened as he saw the serpent-haired man charge at him again. His right hand transformed into the head of the White Dragon, gripping the short sword, he charged forward without dodging.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out as their swords clashed.

"Oh?" The serpent-haired youth raised an eyebrow.

With the blessing of the White Dragon Arm, this time, He Xianyin fought the serpent-haired youth to a standstill!

Meanwhile, on the other side, Liu Mei, a Fourth Stage expert of the Sky Patrol Department, was indeed formidable, clashing head-on with the bald man from the Yellow Stone Tribe!

Red light shot across, yellow stones scattered, gradually suppressing the bald man.

However, Liu Mei felt uneasy in her heart.

Though she was gradually gaining the upper hand, the bald man’s defense was terrifyingly robust. Defeating him wouldn’t be easy!

Looking at He Xianyin beside her, he initially managed to rely on the power of the White Dragon to exchange a few blows with the serpent-haired youth.

But when the serpent-haired youth got serious, summoning the Third Stage Water Law, rippling Water Light soon forced He Xianyin to employ Divine and Ghost Invisibility to scurry away!

And here was still the opponent’s territory. Dragging on like this... was not good!

With a quick turn of thoughts, Liu Mei’s eyes focused, the fire stripes on her saber burst with light, transforming into a blaze slashing towards the charging bald man.

This slash from Liu Mei was called Yinming Kill, a Fifth Stage Skill.

It first unleashed a Bright Fire Slash; if it hit the enemy, it would end there, causing the damage of a Fourth Stage Skill.

This tactic, consuming considerable Star Power, would be barely adequate.

But if the Bright Fire Slash was blocked, it would trigger a reverse Yin Fire Slash.

All the power from the Bright Fire Slash would converge into the Yin Fire Slash, Yin and Yang converging, bursting with terrifying might!

At that moment, in a flash between lightning and fire, the two clashed.

"Sss...!"

Blood splattered, and Liu Mei’s aggressive and hard-to-dodge Bright Fire slash directly cut the bald man’s chest, tearing open a long, bloody wound.

"Hmm?"

Liu Mei’s eyes widened slightly. Could this big bald man be so perceptive to see through her move?

The next moment, the bald man gritted his teeth, his hand’s yellow glow intensified as he punched Liu Mei solidly in the chest.

"City Crusher..."

"Bang!"

Liu Mei’s expression froze, instantly launching like a cannonball, crashing into the hemispherical water wall, exploding into a big hole, flinging her outside!

"Ugh!"

Outside the water wall, after a while, Liu Mei steadied herself, fresh blood trickled from the corner of her lips.

But besides some turbulent blood in her chest, she wasn’t injured.

Liu Mei raised an eyebrow, a flicker of surprise in her eyes:

"Is he trying to save me?"

Because of this blow, most of the strength didn’t land on Liu Mei, instead allowing her to escape the water-colored domain.

"But He Xianyin is still inside."

Though Liu Mei couldn’t figure out what’s happening, she couldn’t abandon He Xianyin, so she took a deep breath and was about to fly back in.

Just then, Liu Mei suddenly noticed something, turning her head to look at the distant horizon.

At the edge of the black mist on the left, another radiance was flying in... that unmistakable, astonishing aura, probably Sixth Stage!

Liu Mei’s expression sank as she saw the slowly closing water wall entrance, falling into a dilemma...

At that moment, a flash of water light appeared beneath the sea next to her, and a handsome man emerged.

Seeing the Holy Robe on the man’s body, Liu Mei immediately tensed up, but then, a look of surprise appeared on her face...

Inside the water wall, the serpent-haired youth angrily shouted at the bald man, "Why did you knock her out?!"

"Strength... too much," the bald man said in a deep voice.

A cold glint flashed in the serpent-haired youth’s eyes, then he turned to face He Xianyin again, murderous intent brewing.

The water light on the serpent-haired youth’s body shifted, countless water snakes shot out, and the countless serpents within the hemispherical water wall started devouring each other, contracting, abandoning their repair ability to rapidly encircle and attack He Xianyin!

In no time, He Xianyin had been bitten in multiple places by the many water snakes the serpent-haired youth controlled, large clouds of blood mist drifted in the air, and even his body turned somewhat cold and sluggish.

He Xianyin knew well, this was poison.

"Just entered King Level, and a simple exploration task leads to my downfall?" He Xianyin’s heart was a mix of emotions, "At least, Liu Mei got out... hmm?"

Just then, He Xianyin felt a different Star Power Fluctuation from below, looking down to see a blue whale rising beneath him!

The next moment, the blue whale swallowed He Xianyin into its belly and sank back into the sea, vanishing instantly.

The serpent-haired youth’s water wall in front didn’t hinder it at all.

"What?!"

The serpent-haired youth immediately waved to disperse the water wall, looking up, a difficult expression spread across his face.

In the distance, under the sea’s surface, a glimmer of water light enveloped Liu Mei, He Xianyin, and two others, swiftly fleeing...
