Chapter 1055: Chapter 1041: Reunion with the Human Snake
Ye Zhen was originally very confident about hunting Yan Yijun, believing that it would take no more than a day, maybe half a day, to find and kill Yan Yijun.
However, this ti Ye Zhen miscalculated.
Ye Zhen spent most of the day exploring around 150,000 miles of sea, yet he couldn’t find a trace of Yan Yijun.
According to Ye Zhen’s inference, based on Yan Yijun’s Cultivation and his speed in the water, he should definitely not have escaped the 150,000-mile radius of the sea from when he entered the sea to now.
But he just couldn’t be found!
Frustrated, Ye Zhen changed his mind; ti was limited and he had already wasted half a day on Yan Yijun. Obtaining the qualification for auction was the top priority.
Therefore, Ye Zhen decisively abandoned the search for Yan Yijun and instead prepared to dive deep to search for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to gain points for Shuili Island.
Ye Zhen didn’t just mindlessly dive straight to the deepest part of the undersea canyon. Such a deep undersea canyon was sothing Ye Zhen was seeing for the first ti, so he was slowly diving while exploring.
He casually collected so Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures with relatively low point values while opening his eyes to new things.
Along the way, Ye Zhen encountered many Martial Artists, but the kind of incident where one gets ambushed on the way had not happened yet.
After all, this exploration of the undersea canyon had just begun.
From Ye Zhen’s experience, the real danger might co when leaving the undersea canyon with a full haul.
However, the fall of Martial Artists was already unavoidable.
Ye Zhen witnessed a King of the Third Stage Establishnt Realm being devoured completely by tens of thousands of strange fish with iron teeth, even the blood flowing in the seawater was completely consud.
These Demon Beasts, Ye Zhen wasn’t afraid of. When he slightly released his aura, they either collapsed or fled rapidly. Along the way, Ye Zhen’s externally released Black Dragon Martial ridians aura unintentionally saved three Martial Artists from the sea monster group.
On this journey, Ye Zhen still encountered considerable gains. Besides various undersea Spiritual dicines announced by Shuili Dan King, Ye Zhen even found several rare Artifact Refining Materials suitable for refining in this undersea canyon.
But what surprised Ye Zhen was that he subconsciously used his Divine Control Water ability to attach his Divine Sense to the Water Spiritual Power, casually sensing the situation within dozens of miles around.
Firstly, he sensed if there was any danger in advance; secondly, he checked if there were any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that he might have missed. Such a vast undersea canyon, Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly search every spot thoroughly and could only use his Divine Sense to expand the search range.
Sotis things are bizarre like this: you search everywhere desperately for sothing and can’t find it, but when you give up looking, you chance upon it unintentionally.
When Ye Zhen slowly dove to a depth of 800 miles into the undersea canyon, searching for treasures, he unexpectedly found the long-lost Yan Yijun.
No wonder Ye Zhen couldn’t find Yan Yijun despite his best effort before, as this guy had daringly ventured into the 800-mile deep area of the undersea canyon.
This area is accessible only to those in the mid Establishnt Realm with Cultivation approximately at the Fourth to Sixth Stage King. Yet Yan Yijun appeared here.
However, Yan Yijun wasn’t alone.
Accompanying him were a King of the Second Stage Establishnt Realm and a King of the Third Stage Establishnt Realm, three of them were gathering Spiritual dicines together.
But these two were not what Yan Yijun relied on; Yan Yijun’s reliance was a ‘Martial Artist’ surrounded by a layer of hazy Spirit Light!
This ‘Martial Artist’ surrounded by a layer of hazy Spirit Light was exuding the unique aura of a Ninth Stage Establishnt King, and compared to normal Ninth Stage Establishnt Kings, their aura was even more cold and violent.
With such a ‘Martial Artist’ exuding the aura of a Ninth Stage Establishnt King, even the mid-stage Kings encountered on the way kept their distance, and the Heavenly Level Demon Beast groups swimming in these waters and even those incredibly large Spirit Beasts dared not to approach.
Once they slightly sensed the aura of that ‘Martial Artist’ surrounded by hazy Spirit Light, they imdiately avoided at a distance.
However, when Ye Zhen slowly approached to carefully sense the aura of this ‘Martial Artist,’ his face changed!
“It’s that kind of monster again!”
Human Snake!
Others might not recognize it and would think that the ‘Martial Artist’ surrounded by hazy Spirit Light is a Ninth Stage Establishnt King with a peculiar temperant.
But having personally battled against Human Snakes and personally killed one, Ye Zhen, upon slightly careful sensing, recognized that this ‘Martial Artist’ is a monster unique to Stars Tower — a Human Snake!
The kind of cold and violent aura emitted by Human Snakes still lingered in Ye Zhen’s mory, and the aura of the ‘Martial Artist’ surrounded by hazy Spirit Light before him was exactly the sa as that emitted by a Human Snake.
As for the Spirit Light enveloping him, it’s just a layer of concealnt for this monster Human Snake.
In the deep sea, Yan Yijun and his two companions were advancing with difficulty.
The terrifying sea pressure made it hard for them to speak more than a sentence, the enormous water pressure continuously compressed their Protective Battle Armor on their body surface, simultaneously causing them a massive Spiritual Power consumption.
To cope with this Spiritual Power consumption, they not only had to frequently consu pills to recover Spiritual Power but also hold Supre Spirit Crystals in their hands to refine and absorb, quickly supplenting the enormous Spiritual Power consumption.
Especially Yan Yijun, those two early-stage Establishnt Realm Martial Artists held up fairly well, but Yan Yijun found it more strenuous, mostly only listening without speaking along the way.
However, compared to the enormous pressure endured, the gains were very substantial.
From ti to ti, they were able to pick a large amount of Spiritual dicine, and because of the Human Snake escort they carried along, there was virtually no danger at this depth of the undersea canyon, whether from Martial Artists or sea monsters.
So, compared to others, their gains were far greater than those of other Martial Artists.
Other martial artists also have to guard against other martial artists, and an endless stream of sea monsters, but Yan Yijun and his team don’t face such threats.
“Young master, if you can’t hold on, we can head to the waters five hundred miles deep, the gains there won’t be much less than here!” advised the Second Stage Establishnt King, seeing Yan Yijun getting more and more strained.
Yan Yijun waved his hand with so effort, “No need, I can hold on! Haven’t you noticed that training under the water pressure seems to significantly enhance our cultivation effects and speed?
In just this mont, the spiritual power in my body has beco more refined than before!”
“We haven’t noticed that, maybe the water pressure here isn’t enough for us?”
Listening to their conversation, Ye Zhen suddenly realized, in all honesty, Yan Yijun truly is a genius.
To discover that water pressure enhances cultivation effects while underwater shows his dedication, but unfortunately, even geniuses et their end, and his life’s journey ends here.
“Huh, soone’s coming!” The Third Stage Establishnt King, Yua Jian, who was rapidly collecting spiritual dicine suddenly looked up towards the rushing waves ahead.
The undersea waves weren’t large, but they moved at an incredible speed, an unbelievable speed that made Yua Jian raise the alarm.
In an instant when the three of them looked over, the speed of the waves suddenly slowed, revealing the figure within.
With just a glance, Yan Yijun’s expression first showed bewildernt, then he burst into laughter, “Ye Zhen?”
“Hahahaha, how lucky can I be, just casually picking spiritual dicine and I run into you!”
“Hahahaha, Ye Zhen, this ti, truly the heavens had a road you didn’t take, and you rushed into hell without a door!”
“This ti, this ti… I… I definitely won’t… let you go!”
Under Ye Zhen’s calm gaze, Yan Yijun’s heart inexplicably tightened, the ecstatic joy slowly fading away, replaced by a deep-seated fear, even making his voice a bit stamring.
Too calm, Ye Zhen’s expression, too calm.
The Third Stage Establishnt King, Yua Jian’s pupils suddenly contracted, a trace of terror flashed in his eyes, and only then did he realize sothing was wrong!
“Young master, be careful, sothing is off with Ye Zhen!”
Too easy!
Ye Zhen floated effortlessly in front of them, as if standing on land, relaxed, at ease, his spiritual power showing no signs of flicker or disturbance.
In contrast, their spiritual power flickered constantly under the imnse water pressure, and each spoken word consud a massive amount of spiritual power.
And Ye Zhen’s cultivation was only at the Sixth Stage of Vein Forging Realm.
Yan Yijun, not being foolish, naturally noticed sothing amiss too.
However, the first thing Yan Yijun did was tighten his grip on the Beast Talisman, his divine sense entering it, and feeling that he could easily control the Human Snake, only then did a sense of inexplicable security rise within him!
“What’s there to fear? With the Human Snake, not to ntion Ye Zhen, even a Peak Ninth Stage Establishnt King, we can handle it!” Yan Yijun said confidently!
“How many monsters like the Human Snake does your Stars Tower have?” Ye Zhen suddenly spoke.
As soon as Ye Zhen spoke, Yan Yijun’s expression changed dramatically, “You… how do you know it’s a Human Snake?”
The Human Snake was a top secret of the Stars Tower, every martial artist who knew the true nature of the Human Snake had to swear the most poisonous Divine Soul Oath, and just now, he communicated with Yua Jian and others using Divine Soul Power, Ye Zhen couldn’t possibly have overheard!
“How do I know?”
A playful smirk appeared at the corner of Ye Zhen’s mouth, “Because I’ve seen this thing before, not only seen but also personally killed one!”
“Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!” Yan Yijun’s expression changed dramatically, displaying an expression of absolute disbelief.
Seeing a Human Snake, he might believe, but having personally killed one, he absolutely refused to believe.
Human Snakes were existences that even Peak Ninth Stage Establishnt Kings couldn’t slay.
“Nothing’s impossible because this thing has a fatal weakness!” said Ye Zhen, his gaze suddenly shifting to Yan Yijun’s left hand holding the Beast Talisman.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s gaze on his left hand, Yan Yijun was greatly shaken. The instructions from his grandfather when handing over the Human Snake Beast Talisman suddenly ca to his mind, causing great inner turmoil.
Realizing the imminent danger, Yan Yijun frantically urged his divine sense to command the Human Snake to slay Ye Zhen imdiately!
But at this exact mont, under Ye Zhen’s focused gaze, several black spirit ropes appeared out of thin air near Yan Yijun’s left hand.
With Ye Zhen’s intense gaze, those black spirit ropes wound around Yan Yijun’s left hand, and started to constrict ferociously.
The sound of bones cracking was incessant!
In an instant, Yan Yijun’s left hand turned into a mass of flesh, along with the shattered Beast Talisman of the Human Snake that he tightly held in that hand!
While Yan Yijun scread in agony, the Human Snake that had just revealed its ferocious appearance exploded with a bang, its massive head bursting like a rotten waterlon! (To be continued.
