Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

She gently declined, "I appreciate your kind intentions, Elder, but my grandfather will be joining me shortly. No need for your concern."

Upon hearing this, the three Golden Core Masters were startled. Although the Sea Demon Clan had few members, their strength was unparalleled, with more than five Nascent Souls and dozens of Golden Core level warriors.

If any Golden Core from the Sea Demon Clan were to come, the three of them would almost certainly be overwhelmed, not to mention the watchful Third-Order White Turtle nearby.

However, they quickly realized that Wang Yingling was merely bluffing.

Having set up the trap for decades, this time they were determined to capture a member of the Sea Demon Clan.

Just then, Master Wu Yan suddenly laughed out loud, "Very well, I didn't expect an additional prize. There's another one here!"

Saying this, his gaze, full of fervor, turned towards Zhao Sheng.

The True Master Grey Ghost, standing on grey clouds, rejoiced and exuberantly said, "Haha, truly a demon with True Blood. Now there's enough for all three of us to share."

Zhao Sheng, feeling the intensity of three searing gazes, was alarmed, his eyes twitched slightly, and his facial expression became uncertain.

He knew the situation was turning dire.

Nevertheless, Zhao Sheng immediately composed himself and decided to silently observe the developments without speaking.

"Humph, if you think you can capture the Young Master and earn accolades at the Star God Palace, you have to ask if I, Gui Wujiu, agree!" Gui Wujiu swiped with a claw, creating a white light barrier, and retorted coldly, showing a hint of irritation in his tone.

His eyes flashing with dark light, an immense aura, surpassing those of the three Human Clan Golden Cores, emanated from him, commanding respect. Find your next adventure on My Virtual Library Empire

"Master Wu Yan, Taoist Grey Ghost, keep Gui Wujiu busy for now. I'll take down those two young demons," said True Master Li Yan as his gaze bore down on Zhao Sheng and Wang Yingling like a blade, exuding an extremely terrifying and piercing aura.

The Star God Palace had secretly set a bounty for any member of the Sea Demon Clan, granting significant rewards, even including Lifespan Extension Pills.

For these False Core Masters, a Lifespan Extension Pill, which could extend life by 60 years, was the ultimate treasure they craved.

Therefore, the three of them had gone to great lengths to set up this trap.

Suddenly, Master Wu Yan chuckled, "I'll go first!" His body remained motionless, but with a single hand from within his sleeve forming a Seal Mantra, his arm blurred and swiftly struck towards Li Kun and the others of the Sea Clan like lightning, saying coldly:

The moment he finished speaking, there was a violent tremor above Zhao Sheng's head, then a blurry azure giant palm appeared and ferociously clawed at Zhao Sheng.

Unexpectedly, Master Wu Yan attacked an unknown young man, causing surprise among the others.

Gui Wujiu immediately roared in fury, tilting his head back sharply, and with his mouth wide open, a white rainbow surged skyward.

With a "boom", the azure giant palm clashed with the White Rainbow, interweaving flashes of cyan and white True Yuan, instantly creating a turbulent blast, and winds raged furiously.

At that moment, Grey Ghost flicked his fingers, and the cloud mist below him instantly shot out hundreds of grey tentacles as thick as arms; the tips of these tentacles grew skulls with vacant orifices,

and the tentacles surged from all directions, slamming against the white light barrier. Some tentacles merged together, forming a barrel-thick multi-headed ghostly creature that broke through the barrier and ferociously bit and wrapped around Gui Wujiu's massive turtle shell.

Although it only delayed for a brief moment, it was enough for True Master Li Yan to act.

The white bubble that had enveloped both Wang Yingling and Zhao Sheng suddenly flickered and inexplicably burst.

As the wild wind hit them, two deep blue flames appeared out of thin air, transforming into two giant flaming hands, each reaching out towards one of them.

The next moment, the flaming hands were blocked by a blue water curtain.

Wang Yingling formed a spell, and a Water Rhythm Jade appeared on her chest, radiating a dazzling light linked to the water curtain.

Water Curtain Heavenly Flower! A Golden Core level spell engraved on the Spirit Jade.

Eventually, the flaming hands completely turned to smoke and vanished into the sky.

Seeing this, True Master Li Yan couldn't help but look dismayed.

Taking advantage of the situation, Zhao Sheng looked down at the sea below, pondering how he might escape.

On the other side, seeing the Young Master nearly harmed, Gui Wujiu couldn't contain his fury and his body swelled even larger, quickly reaching the size of a hill,

making all others seem as small as insects in comparison.

As he revealed his true form, Gui Wujiu's ferocity soared, his tremendous, majestic aura suddenly enveloping the surrounding area for several miles.

Boom!

One could see bubbles, as big as water jars and containing pure demonic power, spewing from Gui Wujiu's mouth, carrying fierce wind and thunder, and violently crashing towards the three Golden Core Masters.

Boom, boom!

With each contact, the bubbles exploded like bombs, turning the demonic power into countless flashing blades of cold light, slicing down on the three like rain.

In a flash, the three were busy defending, their movements inevitably slowed by a bit.

At that moment, a sly gleam flashed across Gui Wujiu's eyes, and suddenly a White Jade Turtle Shell burst forth from his body.

The White Jade Turtle Shell grew in size as it met the wind, instantly expanding to a circumference of two zhang, and it sucked Wang Yingling and Zhao Sheng into the shell.

"Let's go!"

In the next instant, Gui Wujiu fiercely expelled a beam of intense white light, spraying it onto the White Jade Turtle Shell.

The White Jade Turtle Shell suddenly transformed into a white light, falling into the vast ocean below at an unbelievable speed.

"Spirit Suppression Eight Trigrams Formation, activate!"

After that, Gui Wujiu bellowed, his voice booming like a large bell.

As soon as he finished speaking, the plates of his shell back suddenly began to fall off and shoot out, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred and eight pieces of turtle shell separated and arrayed themselves, floating in the surrounding void.

The next instant, white light burst from the turtle shell, and vague trigram figures began to emerge, and within a mile radius centered on the three people and Gui Wujiu, a massive light formation in the shape of a giant turtle suddenly materialized, and a dazzling Eight Trigrams phantom appeared above the giant turtle, quickly pressing down.

Master Wu Yan, True Master Grey Ghost, and Master Li Yan, the three Golden Core Masters, were trapped within the Spirit Suppression Eight Trigrams Formation, unable to escape for the time being.

...

Elsewhere, after the White Jade Turtle Shell fell into the sea, it maintained its speed, rushing straight to a thousand zhang beneath the sea surface.

Wang Yingling, expressionless, continually formed seal mantras with both hands, sending out streaks of blue spell incantations that instantly merged into the turtle shell above.

The turtle shell was quickly brought under her control, then immediately changed direction, lying horizontally as it shot forth, rapidly fleeing into the distance.

Zhao Sheng rose from the ground, his eyes flickering as he looked towards Wang Yingling in front of him, secretly plotting how to escape from her grasp.

Escaping was not going to be easy, especially now since Wang Yingling emanated an aura as powerful as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's.

Moreover, he was now "trapped" inside the turtle shell.

Seemingly aware of Zhao Sheng's thoughts, Wang Yingling continued to control the turtle shell and without turning her head suddenly said, "Don't even think about running away!"

Zhao Sheng was startled, but his face remained very calm, not responding to her words.

Wang Yingling then asked, "By the way, what's your name? Who are your ancestors, and what's your background? Do you have any keepsakes?"

The Sea Demon Clan valued every clansman highly due to their small population.

Wang Yingling's thorough questioning was an attempt to bring all those with her clan's bloodline back to the Void Spirit Abyss.

And this was one of the main reasons why Zhao Sheng did not want to go with her to the Void Spirit Abyss.

Facing one Nascent Soul after another, even Sea Demon Clan leaders of Nascent Soul level, any lie he told would instantly be discovered, yet he could not clearly explain the origin of his own bloodline.

In short, it was very troublesome!

Wang Yingling did not particularly care whether Zhao Sheng responded to her or not.

While they were fleeing, she continued to introduce the Sea Demon Clan and the situation in the Demon Ruins to Zhao Sheng.

In her words, there was a mix of pride and boastfulness.

As she told her stories, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but feel alarmed by the vast power of the Sea Demon Clan.

As one of the three dominant forces of the distant oceans, the Sea Demon Clan alone had more than ten individuals at the Nascent Soul level, half of whom were from the Spirit Clan and the others were Transformed Demon Kings of Seventh Rank or higher.

For instance, the Turtle Ancestor of the White Turtle Clan was an Eighth Rank Demon, possessing strength comparable to the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul.

Within the Sea Demon Clan, the most powerful and highly esteemed was the Great Sacrificial Leader of the Demon Ruins.

According to Wang Yingling's proud boasting, the Great Sacrificial Leader had reached the legendary Divinity Transformation Realm, only half a step away from ascending to the Void and returning to their ancestral clan.
