Chapter 332 High Profile
Chapter 332 High Profile
Although the Deep Blue Sea's deep waters were home to Hollow Void Demon Kings, the domain was ultimately swept through more than once by the Penglai Dao Lord.
Hollow Void Demon Kings were extremely rare in number.
In such a context, the presence of two Hollow Void beings, commanding a warship of the Heavenly Casualty War Hall, made them nearly invincible throughout the entire Deep Blue Sea.
Along the way, they were unstoppable, eliminating countless demons.
However, this high-profile journey was causing concern for a somewhat cautious Hollow Void War Immortal, "Although the deep sea isn't the frontline of the conflict between Penglai Immortal Sect and the demon race like the outer sea, from time to time Hollow Void Demon Kings sneak in, causing chaos. Our conspicuous approach could easily draw out high-rank demons to ambush us."
Qi Sha, however, did not agree with the advice of this Hollow Void War Immortal, instead turning his gaze to Alkaid, "Hall Master, you struck time and time again, not even sparing the Ninth Rank Great Demons. Are you trying to quickly adapt to the power changes brought by your promotion to the Hollow Void by engaging in these battles?"
Alkaid glanced at the Acting Hall Master but did not deny it, "That is the idea."
"With the foundation you built as a True Disciple sweeping through the Eighty-Eight Peaks, Ninth Rank Great Demons probably won't give you a chance to reveal your true strength. Only Hollow Void Realm Demon Kings can really test the limits of your abilities. Therefore, this high-profile journey of yours might actually be intended to draw out Hollow Void Realm Demon Kings," Qi Sha conjectured, and he was utterly convinced of his speculation.
The Hollow Void War Immortal who had suggested caution couldn't help but recall Qi Sha's record of confronting and killing Hollow Void Demon Kings on more than one occasion...
In the end, he spoke no further.
Indeed, even if they came across a Demon King, with Hall Master Qi Sha there, they would be swiftly dealt with, ensuring absolute safety.
...
The Heavenly Casualty War Hall had thought their lineup could traverse unopposed through the entirety of the deep sea, but they had clearly underestimated the strength possessed by the demon race in this marine territory.
Before their warship could reach the lair corresponding to the Red-scaled Demon, a Hollow Void War Immortal sensed something amiss while passing through a certain part of the sea.
"Someone has artificially altered the currents of the surrounding sea..."
As he spoke, his gaze shifted into the distance.
There, a maritime storm was slowly taking shape.
Though the storm was not grand in scale, and it could not affect their warship or the cultivators onboard, when combined with the altered currents of the sea...
"Destroy that storm," Alkaid cautiously ordered.

Qi Sha took a glance at the range of the storm...
Tens of thousands of miles across.
To obliterate it, a Hollow Void War Immortal would need to exert full power, which would be detrimental to their Chaos Void stability.
"I'll do it," said Qi Sha, as he rose into the air. Reaching a certain height, he drew a war sabre from his body.
Then...
The Void trembled.
Countless energies, seemingly containing the purest destructive force of the world, congregated at the blade's edge, amassing into a dazzling purple brilliance.
When the purple light had concentrated for less than a breath's time, Qi Sha, standing midair, suddenly made his move...
In the next moment, the resplendent purple light tore through the sky and, soon after shooting forth, reacted violently and expanded, forming a massive purple tsunami.
The scope of the tsunami grew from hundreds of meters to thousands of meters, and then to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and beyond...
Purple light surged, apparently dyeing the entire horizon with shades of purple.
This strike, if it landed in the midst of the storm, would surely scatter the winds across tens of thousands of miles like a decaying tree felled.
However...
Just as the blade was about to truly split the storm, a flash of azure light burst forth from within it.
"Be careful!"
The other two Hollow Void Realm Demon Kings had a rapid response.
One of them seemed to lock its breath onto Qi Sha, preventing any sudden attacks, but the other, with wings on its back, resembling the divine bird Azure Phoenix, clasped its hands together. A beam of fire, compressed and condensed to its limits, was about to form.
Then...
The Void solidified.
A power capable of suppressing and sealing all space descended from the sky, immobilizing the Azure Phoenix-like Demon King.
The Heaven-Sealing Stele.
Alkaid disrupted the Demon King's rescue attempt with the Heaven-Sealing Stele, and taking this opportunity, the You Long Sword, creating ripples of the Void, impacted into the true body of the other Hollow Void Realm Demon King.
Even though its true body had been tempered a thousand times and was so sturdy that ordinary Spiritual Treasures could not break through, in the face of the Dao Artifact, the You Long Sword which contained intense Void Cutting power, it was like mere paper, torn apart on the spot, blood scattering across the sky.
"What a formidable Dao Artifact!"
Seeing this scene, Qi Sha, who was completely focused, suddenly felt a surge of relief in his heart.
The Demon Race was different from the Human Race.
The Human Race cultivates with Cave Heaven as the foundation, planting Dao seeds until they become Dao Lords, but the Demon Race cultivates its Innate Divine Ability.
Once the Innate Divine Ability is developed to its extreme, it becomes one's Lifebound Daoist Art. Using the Lifebound Daoist Art to reflect upon oneself leads to the evolution of the Heavenly Demon True Body.
This kind of true body, in some ways, is like the cultivators' Cave Heaven of the Human Race, a carrier of the Dao seed, and it is not easily destroyed by ordinary means.
However, the combination of the Dao Technique, Sword of the Void, and the Dao Artifact, the You Long Sword, was clearly far too much for the Heavenly Demon True Body, which carries the Lifebound Daoist Art, to withstand.
"It's not just that the Dao Artifact, the Flying Sword, is extremely strong, the thing that sealed that Demon King was..."
Qi Sha paused, his gaze falling on the Azure Phoenix-like Demon King.
Looking at the solidified waves of the Void around it, it was clearly the power of another Dao Artifact.
Furthermore, the ability for Alkaid to traverse tens of thousands of miles in an instant seemed to be beyond Dao Techniques, and if one could guess...
It was another Dao Artifact.
That is to say...
Alkaid alone possessed three major Dao Artifacts!?
"Impossible!"
This thought had barely emerged in Qi Sha's mind before he ruthlessly dismissed it.
A single Hollow Void with three Dao Artifacts?
No!
To be precise, it was four!
Earlier, he had sold a Dragon Steed Flying Boat!
Four Dao Artifacts, what an astonishing wealth!
If they were his, he could even immediately trade them for enough resources to cultivate to the Refining Void realm!
Moreover, bearing four Dao Artifacts, one's advantages in the process of cultivating Dao Techniques and achieving Shattered Void would be immense.
In other words, he might even have a chance to reach Shattered Void!
With this thought, as Qi Sha looked towards Alkaid, who was battling the Demon Kings, his eyes suddenly became obscure and uncertain.
