Chapter 2042
"She's the one behind that matter?" The shark seated on the middle throne was somewhat taken aback by that news . "Are you certain of it?"
The reason the three of them had been able to achieve a breakthrough was due to the blood droplets of the young female god falling into the sea .
"My king, I dispatched my 100,000 subordinates to look into the matter, and I am absolutely sure of it!" the catfish replied affirmatively .
The shark in the middle took a while to calm itself down before harrumphing . "Humph! So what if she's able to summon a god? Based on what I saw that day, shortly after entering the Forsaken Continent, the god broke open the surrounding space to head somewhere else, and she hasn't appeared ever since . As long as a god doesn't get involved in the battle, we still stand a good chance in a war against the Six Sects!"
"Our Big Brother is right! Even the gods who have descended to the Forsaken Continent find their strengths significantly lowered here," the shark seated on the left remarked smugly . "It's for this reason that no gods will descend and interfere in the affairs here other than the Hall of Gods . Even if Starchaser Palace is able to communicate with the gods, it's unlikely that they have the ability to rally the gods to fight on their behalf!"
"Since that's the case, what do we have to fear? No matter how powerful the head of Starchaser Palace is, she's nothing more than an individual . With the combined prowess of us three, killing her will be a walk in the park!"
The fact that the heavens have allowed us to achieve a breakthrough shows that fate is starting to favor us oceanic creatures . We should seize the day instead of allowing this rare opportunity to slip through our fingers!" the shark seated on the right added in agreement . "Our era is swiftly arriving! How many of us aquatic creatures have those humans slain in the past? We shall return the favor twofold! We'll let them know that we aren't to be belittled!"
"We aren't to be belittled!"
Those words immediately sparked the blazing passion among the aquatic creatures . Be it the prawns, octopuses, crabs, oysters . . . All of them trembled in agitation upon hearing those words .
For the past several thousand years, the Six Sects of the humans had held the dominant position on the Forsaken Continent . As a result of that, the aquatic creatures had not dared step on land easily for fear of getting killed . But now that they had the backing of Semi-Divinity realm experts as well, they had nothing to fear anymore!
Hiding at the back, Zhang Xuan murmured with a frown, "The head of Starchaser Palace?"
Starchaser Palace had been founded by the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe . Considering that Luo Ruoxin was the Spirit God, it was only natural for her to answer their summons!
If what was said about Luo Ruoxin was right, it was likely that Palace Master Du Qingyuan had summoned her down to the Azure . Right after that, Luo Ruoxin had descended further down to the Master Teacher Continent in order to snatch the Great Codex of Spring and Autumn .
From the looks of it, getting in touch with Palace Master Du Qingyuan will be the crux of learning the truth behind everything!
He had rushed over there after deducing that the Godblood Rock had something to do with Luo Ruoxin, but it seemed like his focus had been wrong .
If Du Qingyuan was the one who had summoned Luo Ruoxin, how could she not know who and where the latter was?
I should return for now, Zhang Xuan thought to himself after learning of this critical piece of information .
Putting aside the fact that there were three Semi-Divinity realm beasts there, just the several hundred High Immortal realm ones were enough to overwhelm him!
The main reason he had sought the true origin of the god blood was to verify if Luo Ruoxin had really been to the Azure and, from there, determine where she had gone . Since he had been able to acquire the news from Palace Master Du Qingyuan, there was no need for him to remain there anymore .
After all, there was no need for him to expose himself to needless danger .
So, Zhang Xuan slowly backed away, and just as he was about to retreat from the cavern, he suddenly felt a pulsation of spiritual energy coming from within . This pulsation of energy caused the pendant around his neck to tighten a little . A frightening amount of heat was being emanated from it .
He quickly turned around and saw the shark seated at the centermost throne bringing out a crimson droplet of blood before all the aquatic creatures gathered there .
The droplet of blood was roughly the size of a sesame seed, but even so, the amount of energy that it emanated was alarming . It was as if an entire world had been compressed into it . If such an amount of energy was released, the entire ocean would immediately descend into turmoil!
"This is the god blood," the centermost shark said as it rose from its throne . "This is the key that allowed us to reach the unattainable Semi-Divinity realm . Pledge your loyalty and serve us with devotion, and you will not be let down by what you receive!"
"My king, we are willing to pledge our lives to you!"
The appearance of the god blood caused the eyes of the aquatic creatures to light up as they roared in excitement .
Even a droplet of blood from a true god was enough for them to push for a breakthrough to Semi-Divinity realm . There was no doubt that it held great allure to all life forms .
Seeing that it had managed to rouse the morale of the aquatic creatures, the centermost shark nodded in contentment .
Through a mixture of fear tactics and incentives, it was confident that their subordinates would serve them loyally .
Those who have reached Semi-Divinity realm really mustn't be underestimated, Zhang Xuan thought warily .
Their strength was one thing, but he had never thought that the sharks would be so skilled in the art of commanding as well . It seemed like human cultivators had really been underestimating the intelligence of other life forms all this while .
I should leave!
There was no doubt that Zhang Xuan was interested in the god blood, but he knew that it was impossible for him to obtain it given his current strength . The risk was too great for him to bear .
Besides, there was no need for him to make a move personally . There was no doubt that Starchaser Palace and the rest of the Six Sects would deal with the three sharks once they learned of the matter . They could not risk the aquatic creatures forming a power of their own .
By then, he could simply lend them a hand in dealing with the sharks .
"Who is it?"
Boom!
A deafening voice reminiscent of rumbling thunder tremored through the entire cavern, causing rock fragments and dust to fall to the ground .
Following that, three boundless auras burst forth .
What's going on? Zhang Xuan thought with a frown .
He had been suppressing his aura the whole time, such that it should not have been possible for the other party to notice him easily . Besides, even if the other party did notice him, it should have happened as soon as he entered the cavern . Why would such a thing happen just as he was about to leave?
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan turned his head around, only to nearly faint in horror .
At some point in time, the god blood that was floating right before the eyes of the aquatic creatures had vanished without a trace, causing a huge panic within the cavern .
The three Semi-Divinity realm sharks flew into a fit of rage . They released their powerful auras, displaying their determination to rip the culprit into shreds .
"There!"
A voice echoed in the air all of a sudden .
In response to that, a shot of water current burst forth and struck the ceiling of the cavern, causing rock fragments to fall to the ground .
