Chapter 450: Sister Donghuang Escorts the Voyage, the 90,000-year Giant Demon Sea Rabbit is Very Brave
The first battle resulted in collective setbacks, but no one was discouraged.
Everyone digested the improvements brought by the climb.
They were pleasantly surprised to find that the tempering effect of the Seagod’s Light was extremely significant.
Physical fitness, mental force, and even the efficiency of spirit power circulation had visible improvements.
Lin Qingmo also discovered an additional gain.
Every time the climb ended, the seed of life within him would slightly expand.
"The pressure of the Seagod’s Light is actually forcing the growth of the ancient tree of life."
In other words, climbing the stairs was not just cultivation, but also simultaneously advancing his Life Nine Trials.
A free ride within a free ride!
The group quickly formulated a training plan.
They would challenge the Seagod’s Light stairs every few days to utilize this extreme tempering to the fullest.
Although half a year might not be enough for them to pass the first trial, at the very least, there would be significant improvement.
...
One day.
Lin Qingmo received a message from High Priestess Bo Saixi, inviting him to the Sea God Temple.
When he pushed the door and entered.
High Priestess Bo Saixi was standing in front of the Sea God statue, her long blue hair hanging down, her back view cold and lonely.
"SeniorHigh Priestess Bo Saixi."
After Lin Qingmo cupped his hands in a salute, his tone carried a hint of playfulness.
"You invited me here alone, surely you aren’t planning to take action against me?"
Since arriving on the island, High Priestess Bo Saixi had never communicated with Lin Qingmo and the others as an acquaintance.
She had always interacted with them as the High Priest of the Sea God Temple.
Being summoned alone now, it certainly wasn’t for official business.
High Priestess Bo Saixi turned around, a trace of bitterness flashing across her face.
"I invited you here today just to tell you, you don’t need to worry that I will take action against you because of the Tang Clan affair."
"Oh?"
Lin Qingmo was surprised.
He hadn’t expected High Priestess Bo Saixi to be so direct.
"Lord Sea God has already issued a divine decree for me to assist you in completing your God Trial."
"If I were to take action against you, wouldn’t that be defying a divine decree?"
Lin Qingmo raised an eyebrow.
Poseidon had actually issued an additional divine decree?
It seems that what happened in the mental space that day was indeed taken to heart by the Sea God.
The atmosphere sank for a moment.
Lin Qingmo looked at High Priestess Bo Saixi’s complex expression and suddenly asked: "SeniorHigh Priestess Bo Saixi, do you hate me?"
High Priestess Bo Saixi was slightly taken aback.
"If Xiao Wu wants to truly become the Sea God, the final Legacy cannot happen without your Sacrifice."
Lin Qingmo’s tone was calm, but every word pierced the heart.
"After the Sacrifice, you naturally cannot live, nor can you meet that Tang Chen again."
The air in the hall seemed to freeze.
For a long time.
High Priestess Bo Saixi shook her head: "I have already let go."
Six words, understated.
Lin Qingmo did not fully believe it.
But he did not press further.
"Regardless of whether you have truly let go, I can make a promise: if Xiao Wu successfully becomes the Sea God, I don’t mind letting you live forever in the God Realm."
High Priestess Bo Saixi looked up abruptly.
She didn’t expect this young man to say such things.
After a few moments of silence, she slowly lowered her eyes.
"I do not care about eternal life."
"I will naturally do my best to complete the mission entrusted to me by Lord Sea God."
"You need not worry about this."
Lin Qingmo nodded and did not dwell on this topic again.
"Then let me ask one more thing."
"Is there any Spirit Saint-level Sea Soul Master on Sea God Island?"
"I want to find an opponent to test my current strength."
Of course, it was also to complete his own Destruction First Trial.
High Priestess Bo Saixi glanced at him and thought for a moment.
"I will arrange this for you personally."
...
The next day.
Coastline.
Lin Qingmo stood on the reef and blew a long whistle towards the blue sea.
Within three breaths, a white wave exploded on the sea surface.
Xiao Bai’s huge shark head emerged from under the water, a pair of round shark eyes looking at Lin Qingmo, full of confusion.
"Again? How long has it been since the last time?"
"Going on a long trip."
Lin Qingmo jumped onto Xiao Bai’s back, crouched down, and patted her smooth shark skin.
"Did you find the Spirit Beast over 50,000 years old that I asked you to find? I’m going to take action."
Xiao Bai flicked her tail fin, splashing water.
"Fine, I already scouted one for you last time."
"Right now, about two nautical miles to the southeast, there is an activity area for a 50,000-year-old Shadow Swordfish, you..."
Before she could finish, Xiao Bai’s entire body stiffened.
An extremely terrifying aura pressed over from the coastline behind her.
Xiao Bai slowly turned her head, her huge shark eyes staring straight at the beach.
A black-robed, masked figure was walking out of the forest, her pace unhurried.
Bibi Dong.
"A-Qing, I will go with you."
The voice became deep and hoarse due to the mask, but the indisputable tone was clearly distinguishable.
The muscles under Xiao Bai’s shark skin tightened to the limit.
The aura on this woman was very dangerous.
Last time this person stood on her, she felt uncomfortable all over.
Lin Qingmo waved his hand at her.
"Don’t be nervous, she’s one of us."
Xiao Bai: "..."
Seeing Lin Qingmo’s calm expression, she finally gritted her shark teeth and acted as if she felt nothing.
Bibi Dong stepped onto Xiao Bai’s back, standing half a step behind Lin Qingmo.
Xiao Bai only felt that there was an active volcano on her back.
"Sister Donghuang, sit tight."
Lin Qingmo turned back and smiled: "Xiao Bai is fast."
Bibi Dong did not respond.
But the deep eyes under the mask curved slightly.
Xiao Bai flicked her tail fin vigorously and broke through the waves.
...
Southeast direction.
Deep sea area.
Xiao Bai’s speed reached its limit, her white figure carving a straight wake in the turquoise seawater.
"It’s just ahead."
Xiao Bai suddenly slowed down.
"This is the territory of the Shadow Swordfish. This guy’s speed is its biggest advantage. In the sea, almost no Spirit Beast can catch up with it."
Before the words fell.
"Swish!"
A sharp sound of water cutting suddenly came from below the sea surface.
A silver-white stream of light shot out from the deep sea, so fast that the naked eye could barely catch it!
Xiao Bai dodged sideways abruptly, barely avoiding the attack.
The sea surface was cut into a crack tens of meters long, and water splashed three zhang high.
"Found it!"
Lin Qingmo’s eyes lit up.
That was a fish Spirit Beast with a silver-white body and a three-foot-long sword-blade protrusion on its head.
A 50,000-year-old Shadow Swordfish.
Speed was its absolute trump card.
In the seawater, this guy’s instantaneous burst speed could even surpass Xiao Bai, a 100,000-Year Soul Beast.
"Xiao Bai, chase!"
"Received."
The sea surface was like a piece of ink jade split by a sharp blade.
Xiao Bai broke through the waves at an astonishing speed, her huge body plowing a white wake that stretched for miles on the sea surface.
Lin Qingmo stood on her broad back, his eyes locked on the faint silver sword shadow in the deep water ahead.
That silver shadow was extremely fast, flashing under the sea surface every few moments.
Like a Flying Sword thrown by someone, it fled straight towards the southwest.
"It’s accelerating."
Lin Qingmo frowned slightly.
In his perception, that agile and sharp aura was pulling away distance bit by bit.
Xiao Bai beneath his feet let out a low roar in response, and her tail fin slammed into the sea, her speed increasing by three points.
The seawater exploded on the sides, and the waves were several zhang high.
Bibi Dong stood behind the whale, her long hair blown back by the sea breeze.
Her expression was calm, but her eyes were constantly scanning the surrounding sea area.
"A-Qing, there is an island ahead." She spoke suddenly.
Lin Qingmo looked in the direction of her gaze.
At the junction of sea and sky, a low island emerged from the mist.
The island was not large, covering only two or three miles in radius.
There was no beach; all four sides were rugged black reefs, like a huge piece of charcoal pushed out from the seabed.
Nameless Island.
In this deep sea area far from the continent, such deserted islands were not uncommon.
The trajectory of the Shadow Swordfish happened to pass by the west side of the island.
Xiao Bai did not slow down and headed straight for that sea area.
However, the moment she drove into the hundred-zhang range of the island.
All sound disappeared.
The sound of waves, the sound of wind, the sound of whales, all seemed to be crushed by an invisible hand, and the World suddenly fell into dead silence.
Lin Qingmo’s pupils shrank.
He was a Spirit Master, and his perception of energy fluctuations was far keener than ordinary people.
Just as that dead silence descended, an overwhelming mental pressure rushed up from under the sea.
Like an invisible giant palm, it slammed onto the top of his head.
"There’s something down there!"
Before the words fell, the sea surface exploded.
With Nameless Island as the center, the seawater within a radius of one hundred meters suddenly retreated to the surroundings, revealing the pitch-black seabed below.
A dark purple figure, so huge it was suffocating, surged out from the deep-sea rift.
The size of that "thing" was even a circle larger than Xiao Bai.
Its body was a round ellipsoid, covered with a layer of viscous dark purple mucous membrane, emitting an eerie fluorescent light in the dim light.
Dozens of rugged bone ridges rose on its back, each one looking like a jagged tooth embedded in flesh.
It had no obvious head, but a slit running across the entire torso cracked open at the front of its body.
That was its mouthpart, and thousands of hook-shaped tooth tongues were arranged in layers within the slit, slowly wriggling.
The most terrifying thing was the "wings" spread on both sides of its back.
Those were not real wings.
They were two huge lateral feet.
As thin as cicada wings but over ten zhang wide, the edges were irregularly serrated.
A dark purple vascular network could be faintly seen pulsing in the translucent membrane.
The moment it rose from the deep sea, the surrounding seawater began to boil.
The mucus secreted from its body surface produced a violent corrosive reaction after contacting the seawater, and a large amount of pungent acid mist steamed up.
"What is this?"
Lin Qingmo steadied his figure, staring at the huge dark purple monster.
He had seen many Spirit Beasts, but had never encountered this form.
Xiao Bai’s voice sounded: "It’s a 90,000-year Giant Demon Sea Rabbit!"
"Sea Rabbit?" Lin Qingmo was taken aback.
This name really didn’t match the huge monster radiating destructive aura in front of him.
90,000-year Spirit Beast.
An existence only one step away from the 100,000-year mark.
This meant it already possessed combat power at the level of an average Titled Douluo.
The Giant Demon Sea Rabbit clearly didn’t intend to give them time to react.
Its two huge lateral feet suddenly closed, and its entire ellipsoidal body slammed into Xiao Bai like a cannonball.
At the same time, its mouthpart opened wide, and a column of dark purple acid with a diameter of several zhang sprayed out from between the tooth tongues.
Wherever the acid passed, the air hissed, and the sea surface was scorched with a trail of white smoke.
Lin Qingmo watched, stunned: "Xiao Bai, your dominance in this sea area is lacking. A 90,000-year Spirit Beast dares to be so arrogant against you, a 100,000-year overlord."
"Are you too weak, or is it too brave?"
"Tsk, this kind of Spirit Beast has no brain. It even dares to attack me."
As a 100,000-Year Soul Beast, Xiao Bai was a little angry.
Just then, a hand pressed on Lin Qingmo’s shoulder.
The force was not heavy, but exceptionally stable.
"A-Qing, leave this thing to me. You guys continue to chase the swordfish."
Lin Qingmo turned to look at her.
The sea breeze blew up the broken hair on her forehead, revealing those eyes as calm as an abyss.
Her expression had no ripples, and there was even a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
It was as if the 90,000-year Giant Demon Sea Rabbit in front of her was just an annoying stray cat on the side of the road.
"Sister Donghuang..."
"Hmm?"
"Be careful not to get your clothes dirty, that acid looks quite disgusting."
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, then laughed lowly.
"Understood."
She let go of the hand on his shoulder, and her figure leaped back lightly towards the island.
Lin Qingmo withdrew his gaze and patted Xiao Bai’s back.
"Let’s go."
Xiao Bai obediently changed direction and rushed towards the direction where the Shadow Swordfish disappeared at full speed.
The seawater closed behind them, and the Nameless Island quickly became a small dot.
Lin Qingmo did not look back.
Because there was absolutely no need to.
Sister Donghuang’s strength was unfathomable.
Let alone a 90,000-year Giant Demon Sea Rabbit.
Even if a 100,000-year Spirit Beast came in person, he would not have half a worry.
From the day he met his master, she had never been someone who needed protection from others.
She was the one standing in front of him, blocking the wind for him.
On the sea surface far behind him, a dull explosion sound came faintly.
Immediately after, there was a second sound, a third sound.
Then, it returned to silence.
The corners of Lin Qingmo’s mouth curled up slightly, and his gaze locked back onto the silver sword shadow under the sea surface ahead.
"Accelerate, Xiao Bai. Don’t let that fish run away."
"Okay!"
The shark roar shook the sky, and they broke through the waves and left.
