Chapter 133: Chi Yao’s Vision! Sea Beast Riot!
Soon, the sound of crashing waves reached both Chen Xuan and Chi Yao’s ears.
As they emerged from the underground cavern, the isolated island came into view.
Only a short time had passed since their departure. The island itself remained mostly unchanged and no traces of anyone having been there existed.
The same could not be said for the waters around it, though.
Crash!
A segmented tail resembling a chain of bones burst from the sea and lashed toward the island.
Yet just before it could make contact, a golden radiance flashed.
A translucent barrier materialized around the island, stopping the attack in its tracks.
Clearly, the island was protected by a hidden formation—a fact Chen Xuan had discovered long ago.
Even so, he frowned when he saw the sea beast relentlessly battering the barrier. His expression darkened further when he realized it was far from the only creature present.
After observing for a moment, he felt he had found the reason behind these changes.
’Did these sea beasts detect the activation of the teleportation array? Were they drawn here in search of the "treasure"?’
Despite this realization, Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
The strongest sea beasts gathered around the island were only at the Foundation Establishment realm.
With his current cultivation and the zombie at his side, he wouldn’t fear even a Soul Formation beast, much less creatures of this level.
However, he made no move to intervene. Instead, he turned toward Chi Yao and waved his hand.
Under her puzzled gaze, he issued an order.
"Go fight those beasts. You don’t need to worry about your safety. If anything happens, I’ll step in."
Those words immediately put Chi Yao at ease.
Although she had no way of knowing that he had already broken through, the combat power Chen Xuan had displayed previously was more than enough to handle most threats.
At the same time, battling these beasts was exactly what Chi Yao wanted.
Unlike Huo Ling’er, she was not an "orthodox" cultivator but a demonic one.
In her previous life, she had borne the title Heaven-Swallowing Empress. In her eyes, there was no faster path to power than seizing the fruits of others’ efforts.
With that thought in mind, Chi Yao stepped forward and rose into the air. Leaving the protection of the island behind, she headed directly toward the nearest sea beast.
The creature was at the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment.
Yet although there was a difference of two substages between them, Chi Yao showed no trace of fear.
Rather than using techniques from her previous life or even the Myriad Demons Art once gifted by her Master, she chose to reveal her newest acquisition.
With a single thought, a phantom manifested behind her.
Its body was covered in dense black scales and shrouded in dark mist. It appeared majestic and sacred, yet at the same time sinister and terrifying.
It was a Dragon!
More precisely, a Black Abyss Dragon—the very race of the dragon she had recently confronted using her will.
And this phantom was the result of that encounter.
A Vision!
Similar to Huo Ling’er’s Holy Body Vision, Chi Yao now also had a Vision of her own.
The moment it emerged, it immediately drew the sea beast’s attention.
Its massive head rose above the surface as it prepared to leap into the air and devour her in a single bite.
Before it could act, however, the Vision moved.
The sea beast’s body shuddered violently.
For a brief moment, it found itself unable to move, as though it were facing suppression from the ancestor of its own bloodline.
Although it quickly recovered from the shock and released a deafening roar, it was already too late.
Thunder crackled across the heavens.
A moment later, a bolt descended and struck directly into its head.
Lightning coursed through its skull before racing throughout the rest of its body. While its exterior was exceptionally durable, its internal organs were no sturdier than those of a human cultivator.
The outcome was inevitable.
The sea beast convulsed violently before crashing back into the sea, its blood dyeing the surrounding waters red.
It was only then that the surrounding sea beasts noticed Chi Yao’s presence.
Rather than frightening them, the death of their companion only drove them into a greater frenzy.
Like a swarm of piranhas scenting blood, they charged toward her from every direction.
Chi Yao’s answer to this was swift.
The dragon phantom behind her opened its mouth and released a cloud of black mist.
Within seconds, the roars of the sea beasts began to fade, as did their violent movements.
--
The battle ended quickly.
In less than half an hour, the sea around the island had turned crimson.
Corpses littered every inch of the sea, sliced into countless tiny parts and scattered in every direction.
Although Chen Xuan had lived for nearly a century, this was still among the most gruesome scenes he had ever witnessed.
Glancing at Chi Yao, who now stood obediently beside him, he couldn’t help but sigh.
No one would ever guess that such a horrific massacre had been carried out by a beautiful and seemingly innocent young girl.
Chen Xuan wanted to say something, but ultimately held back.
He understood why Chi Yao had done it.
It wasn’t because she possessed some strange hobby. Rather, she needed a reasonable explanation for the missing Blood Essence within the sea beasts.
Only by erasing all traces could she freely use the Heaven-Swallowing Scripture to temper and upgrade her physique.
Knowing this, he didn’t scold her.
Instead, after strengthening the island’s formation with a few casual gestures, he wrapped Chi Yao in his Spiritual Energy and took to the air.
Compared to his previous visit, Chen Xuan was far more familiar with the Nine Origins Seas.
Combined with the map provided by the System, he could easily pass as a native cultivator. He would have absolutely no trouble navigating the region.
Yet, somewhat unexpectedly, this journey proved far more troublesome than the last...
