Chapter 584 - 583: True Spirit Pearl

Chapter 584: Chapter 583: True Spirit Pearl

"It’s not yet certain who the real hunter is."

With a sinister smile, he wove his ten fingers together before his chest, forming a Seal Technique. Ten streams of Star River True Power shot out from his fingertips.

Silently, a massive undercurrent swept out from the dark depths, enveloping Qin Feng’s figure.

It churned the water for dozens of yards around into a murky mess.

A thousand yards away, the three people watching Qin Feng’s every move had their expressions change, but they returned to normal a moment later.

After the undercurrent passed, Qin Feng’s figure reappeared in their sight.

The three had no idea that during that undercurrent, Qin Feng’s true self had already slipped away. What they saw now was merely a Clone formed from Water Spirit Power.

The water surged, and a current silently followed the ’Qin Feng’ up ahead.

After the current controlled by the three had passed, Qin Feng’s figure emerged from the water. He shot a dark smile in their direction.

He followed the current from a distance.

After several hundred breaths, a lavish and magnificent Water Mansion appeared before them.

The scale of this Water Mansion was no less impressive than the Fuhai Palace beneath Cloud Lake. It was magnificent and splendid, with carved beams and painted rafters, looking utterly beautiful beneath the water.

The only flaw was that the place was devoid of any vitality, filled with a heavy Death Qi.

The "Qin Feng" clone flickered and appeared before a memorial archway carved from what looked like Bai Yu.

"Black Water Divine Mansion!"

On the archway were carved four ancient words that radiated a divine charm.

"This is the Black Water Divine Mansion! It really is the resting place of the Son of Black Water!" The ’Qin Feng’ clone’s face showed unconcealed delight as he eagerly rushed into the Water Mansion’s Blessed Land.

After ’Qin Feng’ went inside, a current of water dissipated to reveal three figures.

The one in the lead had a dignified and imposing bearing, his Dragon Horns sharp and prominent. It was none other than the Dragon Crown Prince.

His expression flickered, a sinister look flashing in his eyes. "He went in!"

Elder Gui asked softly, "Crown Prince, should we follow him in?"

He waved his hand. "Wait a moment longer."

In the shadows, Qin Feng silently watched the trio. The auras they exuded made him extremely wary; they were all formidable existences at the Peak Realm of Martial Arts Giants.

The three had all comprehended Origins related to the Water Element. Standing in the water, they projected a grand aura that spread out from the water’s surface.

It was terrifying.

’This young Dragon Race member seems to have a high status, with such powerful experts as his retainers. I wonder which clan’s Crown Prince from the Five Seas Dragon Palace he is.’

As far as Qin Feng recalled, the East Sea was currently ruled by the Cyan Dragons.

The South Sea was ruled by the Red Dragons.

The North Sea was ruled by the Black Dragons.

The West Sea was ruled by the Stone White Dragons.

The Endless Sea was ruled by the Golden Dragon Race.

The Five Seas were clearly demarcated, and other Dragon Races lived scattered among them, accepting the rule of the five great superior dragon clans.

Judging by the young man’s Dragon Horns, Qin Feng guessed he was most likely from the Cyan Dragon Race.

The Cyan Dragon Race possessed the Innate True Spirit Cyan Dragon Bloodline. Their potential was immense, and they were proficient in Thunder Skills, making them extremely powerful.

They, along with the Northern True Spirit Xuanwu, the Southern True Spirit Vermilion Bird, and the Western True Spirit White Tiger, were known as the four great hegemons among the Ancient True Spirits.

Suddenly, Qin Feng’s heart skipped a beat. He sensed that the Clone that had entered the Black Water Divine Mansion had completely lost its connection to him.

In other words, it had been destroyed!

Qin Feng was surprised. Although the Clone didn’t possess his power, it shared some of his knowledge. Logically, even if it encountered powerful Restriction Arrays or traps, it shouldn’t have been destroyed so quickly.

’Looks like there’s something fishy going on in there after all,’ he thought.

Half an hour later, outside the Black Water Divine Mansion, the youth with the Dragon Horns was growing impatient. He frowned, his expression flickering. "Why isn’t there any sign of movement from inside the Black Water Divine Mansion?"

The burly Sea General interjected, "Could he be inheriting the power of the Son of Black Water?"

At these words, the Dragon Crown Prince’s face turned extremely grim, a hint of killing intent pulsing in his eyes.

Elder Gui said, "Should we go in and take a look?"

The burly Sea General boomed, "Of course we should go in! If we’re too late, won’t all the treasure be snatched up by that Black Water Profound Serpent brat?"

"Crown Prince, let’s go in! Any later and it will be too late!"

Hiding in the shadows, Qin Feng heard this and sneered inwardly.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes. The Dragon Horned youth’s gaze flickered for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, we’ll go in. Everyone, be careful. This is, after all, the resting place the Son of Black Water prepared for himself. There might be other traps!"

With that, he took the lead and walked toward the Black Water Divine Mansion.

Elder Gui and the burly Sea General followed close behind.

After the trio entered the Black Water Divine Mansion, a current of water surged, and a figure walked out from its shimmering light. It was Qin Feng.

Looking at the three, Qin Feng gave a sinister smile. ’I was waiting for you to test the Son of Black Water’s methods for me!’

Glancing at the Water Mansion, Qin Feng’s form changed, silently transforming into a current of water that slipped inside. The Water Mansion was vast. Rows of Kui Water Pillars stood tall, exuding an indescribable and magnificent grandeur.

Vermilion palaces and mother-of-pearl towers, unlike anything in the mortal world.

Gold for the roof tiles, Bai Yu for the door pivots.

Screens of tortoiseshell, railings inlaid with coral beads.

Droplets of black water glistened upon lotus thrones, reflecting the heavens above and the earth below.

It was truly more magnificent than a Dragon Palace.

Within these palaces, Qin Feng saw traces of powerful Forbidden Techniques and mechanisms, but unfortunately, they had all been worn away by the passage of time.

About ten minutes later, Qin Feng caught up to the trio. After passing through a Third Layer of palaces and eight Side Halls, he found them in the main hall, staring with fervent eyes at a pitch-black droplet of water on the main throne.

An indescribable Dao Rhyme flowed from it. Never mind the three of them; even Qin Feng, who was hiding behind them, could feel his bloodline boil.

’True Spirit Blood!’

Qin Feng was violently shaken. The next moment, he held his breath. His instincts told him it wouldn’t be that simple.

’My Clone didn’t get destroyed for no reason!’

As expected, the three excitedly moved forward. Just then, the pitch-black water droplet suddenly began to buzz and vibrate.

BOOM!

It was as if Qin Feng heard the roaring sound of a tidal wave crazily surging in his ears.

The next moment, like a Celestial River, a black light erupted from the droplet and covered the entire hall.

’Nine Nether Black Water, one of the Innate True Waters!’

His face changed drastically. Qin Feng’s figure flashed, activating Void Travel, and in an instant, he appeared outside the hall.

The three inside the hall were not so lucky. They were quickly submerged by the tide-like black light.

RUMBLE!

Three streams of light appeared to block it. Qin Feng could see clearly that the Dragon Crown Prince had a small Crystal Shield in front of him.

Elder Gui had a Large Cyan Turtle Shell before him, within which a cyan light shimmered like a vast expanse of water.

The burly Sea General was the fiercest. With a wild roar, he transformed into a Sea Giant dozens of yards tall, the watery brilliance on his body surging.

However, it was all useless!

The first to be destroyed was the burly Sea General. With a blood-curdling scream, his entire body dissolved into countless motes of Black Water Essence Qi within the black radiance, which were then devoured by the True Spirit Pearl.

The second was Elder Gui. He let out a piercing shriek as his turtle shell was corroded by the black water like a sieve. A moment later, he followed in the Sea General’s footsteps.

The scene made Qin Feng’s scalp tingle.

Experts at the Peak Realm of Martial Arts Giants were killed by that black light in an instant. Qin Feng even saw that the two experts’ Inner Heavens and Earths were completely crushed by the black light and turned into Black Water Essence Qi.

However, Qin Feng had been too optimistic. The black light erupting from the True Spirit Pearl had enveloped the entire grand hall. Although he had fled the hall itself, he hadn’t escaped its range.

In the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by towering waves...
