Many shrewd and clever people shared the same thoughts as Li Dao.
The Venerable One's departure signifies that the Kunpeng Nest is about to open.
They had all guessed the thoughts of these powerful figures. They knew they couldn't wait any longer and were preparing for a final gamble. If they still couldn't obtain the Kunpeng Treasure Technique, they would probably retreat.
"The great battle between the descendants of the sea god and the mermaid princess has begun!"
Various waves arose, and everyone felt that a great calamity was about to befall them. Under these circumstances, the once calm sea became turbulent and unpredictable once again.
Upon hearing this news, Li Dao glanced at the trident that was quietly residing in his storage bag and silently thought to himself:
"After hiding for so long, you've finally dared to come out. So let's settle this once and for all."
The witch and her companion had previously searched for Mo Shang's whereabouts, hoping to eliminate him completely, but to no avail. Now, however, upon hearing his name again, they had already made up their minds.
Merfolk are naturally beautiful and are a super-powerful race in the North Sea. In ancient times, some of them were even deified, making them incredibly terrifying. When this news spread, it attracted many people to come and see for themselves.
The waves crashed against the sky, the clanging of metal echoed endlessly, and corpses lay scattered on the sea, drifting with the current.
On the blood-red sea, a man with light blue hair and a piercing gaze in his eyes was holding a pseudo-trident and facing a group of powerful merfolk alone, his imposing presence overwhelming for three hundred miles.
The aftershocks of the battle between the two sides were enough to spread for three thousand miles.
Mo Shang felt the imitation trident in his hand was not comfortable, and his face darkened. If it were a real trident, he would have already eliminated everyone in front of him, and they would not be stuck here for so long!
"Don't let me find you! Otherwise, I will kill you!"
Whenever he thought of Li Dao, the killing intent in his eyes would uncontrollably emanate. He suddenly swung his sword forward, cleaving open the blood-red sea surface and revealing the charred seabed. Several powerful merfolk along the way were powerless to resist and exploded into blood mist.
The scene was far too terrifying; the power of a single halberd strike gave the cultivators watching nearby a strange feeling.
"This combat power is comparable to those Venerables, isn't it?!"
"Indeed, it seems that the guy who stole Mo Shang's weapon is an even more terrifying existence!"
"Every great calamity brings forth extraordinary talents; the North Sea truly is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers reside!"
Mo Shang's eyes were indifferent. One by one, the powerful merfolk died under the halberd. His gaze was fixed on Qing Su, who was looking anxious behind him.
"We've received word that the Second Mermaid Princess was with that guy. If we capture you, we don't know if he'll come out!"
On the treasure ship, Qing Su's eyes reddened as she watched her clansmen being slaughtered before her eyes, powerless to do anything, her heart shrouded in despair.
"Brother Li, what should I do?"
Qingwei, standing beside her, also looked very solemn, her heart filled with a sense of powerlessness. Facing Mo Shang, she had no other choice but to overwhelm him with numbers.
Meanwhile, in another sea area, war was raging. Han Tian, the prodigy of the Fire Flame Clan, clad in crimson armor and wielding a blood-red spear, slaughtered his way through the surrounding area, forcing back a group of veteran powerhouses and occupying a territory by himself.
Han Tian was a prodigy on par with Mo Shang. Several years ago, he fought Mo Shang and did not lose. The battle was so intense that the surrounding beings felt fear, as if the sky and earth were collapsing. In the end, the battle ended in a draw.
Since then, both of them have been quietly accumulating strength, clearly preparing for a bloody battle.
Elsewhere, a group of divine servants gathered, none daring to approach them. Some young men and women were surrounded in the middle, each one with outstanding talent and a fierce fighting spirit in their eyes.
They were from the ancient sacred mountain, and had clearly grown greatly in the past two years. Now that they had gathered together, they were a formidable force, dominating the area and occupying a territory in this battlefield.
“With the arrival of the Venerable One, various forces have risen up, the lair has cracked, and everyone is getting impatient,” someone whispered upon seeing the chaos.
On the island, a long crack appeared in the Kunpeng Nest. It was completely black, but the crack was extremely hot, like a volcano that had been torn open, with hot magma flowing out and falling into the sea, creating a thick mist.
After being bombarded for so long, it has finally become unstable and shows signs of collapsing.
Furthermore, with those Venerable Ones joining in, it seems the day of collapse is not far off!
Numerous cultivators were lurking around it, waiting for it to crack completely.
Mo Shang slaughtered his way through the area, and was about to drive out the merfolk and seize a piece of land near their nest for himself.
A distant, ancient Daoist voice descended from the heavens, halting Mo Shang's advance toward Qing Su.
"Mo Shang, if you're in such a hurry to force me to show myself, why don't you come over and hand over your head!"
The entire sea seemed to freeze for a moment, as thick, dark clouds quickly enveloped the area, and everyone looked up at the sky.
A beam of golden light pierced through the thick black clouds and shone on Li Dao alone.
He seemed like a god descending to earth, his every move exuding immense power, and his words, in particular, filled everyone with dread.
"Who dares to call Mo Shang by his name?" someone whispered.
However, the moment everyone saw the trident in Li Dao's hand, everyone's breath hitched, a chill rose from the bottom of their hearts, and they felt an inexplicable oppression emanating from Li Dao.
"It's the one who stole the Trident of Poseidon!" someone couldn't help but exclaim.
Many cultivators gasped, their pupils constricted, and their faces were filled with horror.
Mo Shang also stopped swinging his halberd, his body involuntarily pausing, because he was all too familiar with that voice!
He suddenly turned around, his gaze fixed on the trident in Li Dao's hand, then slowly shifted to Li Dao's face.
Although the face had matured considerably, it was still easy to recognize him immediately.
"It's you!"
On the treasure ship, Qing Su, whose face had turned deathly pale, immediately had tears welling up in her eyes when she saw Li Dao appear.
"Brother Li!"
The many cultivators watching from all sides immediately began to whisper among themselves upon seeing Li Dao's sudden appearance.
"That's the person who stole the Trident of Poseidon! What is his identity, and what faction does he belong to?"
"He exuded no imposing aura whatsoever, appearing like an ordinary person, yet merely standing in mid-air gave me the illusion of being invincible!"
"Who exactly is he?!"
Upon hearing Li Dao's arrogant words, some of Mo Shang's subordinates immediately changed their expressions and roared angrily at Li Dao:
"Who dares to address my lord by his name!"
"You ignorant fool, prepare to die!"
A burly man with blue scales on both sides of his cheeks, wielding a golden spear, charged straight at Li Dao like a streak of light.
He raised the golden spear, Po Jun Shuo, high above his head, his body bent into a bow in mid-air, and suddenly attacked Li Dao.
The sharp point tore through the void, and the terrifying gale made Li Dao's robes flutter wildly.
Before Changshuo arrived, the sea beneath him was split open, and the currents reversed to both sides.
Some of the cultivators who were watching from the surroundings immediately retreated backwards.
Mo Shang's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stared intently at Li Dao.
This subordinate was a powerful figure in the Array Formation realm, whom he had forcibly subdued within two years of the world's events. He didn't stop Li Dao from taking action, as he also wanted to see what Li Dao was capable of.
"If you can't withstand this attack, you're not qualified to fight me. Let me see how much you've improved in the last two years!"
On the treasure ship, Qing Su tightly gripped Qing Wei's clothes with her delicate little hands, one hand on her chest, watching this scene with a worried expression.
"Brother Li, please be careful."
Li Dao's image was reflected in Qingwei's beautiful eyes, and she was praying along with her younger sister.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Li Dao merely raised his eyes, saw the overwhelming attack that seemed to press down like ten thousand mountains, and uttered four words indifferently:
"You ants, how dare you!"
Chapter 176 Mo Shang, Fallen!
He raised his hand and pressed it slightly into the void, as if pausing time and space. Layer upon layer of divine halos rose behind him, eventually nesting together to form an extremely intricate halo, radiating countless divine lights.
The light emanating from it was even hotter and more dazzling than that beam of golden sun.
The waves beneath him, now parted, were frozen in mid-air. Fish within the waves, their entrails shattered and bleeding, were still blinking.
As for the man who had come charging in with such ferocity, he was frozen in mid-air like a lifelike statue.
In the distant sea, Han Tian, who had already occupied a section of the ocean, felt a terrifying aura surging towards him and cast his gaze in the direction of Li Dao.
"Interesting, where did this monster come from? What terrifying supernatural powers!"
"It's worth fighting for!"
Among the crowd of people from the Ancient Divine Mountain, Yun Xi's expression hardened, but after sensing that familiar aura, her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.
"You're really alright."
Li Dao's expression remained calm, a cold glint flashing in his halberd.
puff-
A sharp sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and the halberd pierced directly through the man's waist and abdomen.
"Ugh..."
"How could it be...so fast!"
The man's eyes were filled with horror. He gripped the halberd tightly in his hand, looked down at the halberd that had pierced through his body, and gushing blood spurted from his mouth.
Dao patterns flickered on his body, and his flesh and blood writhed as he tried to heal his injuries, but Li Dao did not retract his halberd; he merely gave it a slight shake.
puff--
Runes pierced into the man's flesh and blood, and with a crisp cracking sound, they exploded into a blood mist that drifted into the air.
Rumbling--
The seawater that had been split open poured back in, and everything returned to its original state. The platinum divine halo behind Li Dao retracted into his body, and his aura gradually subsided, returning him to his previous appearance.
"What happened? How could that person explode in the blink of an eye?"
"What kind of supernatural power is that? It's terrifying!"
"It's over just like that? I felt like I was disconnected from the space-time around me!"
Once everything returned to normal, many cultivators realized that in the blink of an eye, the man had exploded into a bloody mist, and a chill ran from his tailbone straight up to the top of his head.
As the blood mist dissipated, the fresh, pungent smell of blood lingered in Mo Shang's nostrils, and his face turned ashen.
If others can't see it, how could he not?
"Freeze time and space! That's quite an ability, but how many times can you use such a technique!"
"I've gained quite a few more Deadpools under my command over the years!"
