Shi Mu was shocked after witnessing the scene, and hurriedly hugged Yan Luo who was standing next to him.

Yan Luo’s body was stiff from the sudden embrace but a sliver ray of light broke out and sent Shi Mu flying.

Shi Mu felt a huge shock inside all his internal organs to the point of almost spurting out blood. Luckily he was able to forcibly hold himself steady, though just barely.

Yan Luo locked eyes with the scenery. She did not say anything but waved her hand.

Suddenly, a black light flashed!

The Fallen Angel Desk flew over and a gray light flew out of it, merging into her body.

The smoldering scent on Yan Luo’s body slowly stopped, but her body’s Real Qi had fallen from Heaven-rank to Earth-rank.

“Yan Luo, you…” Shi Mu’s expression changed as he recalled the power of the armored woman earlier.

“What kind of forbidden technique would you have to use in order to enhance your power?”

“I need to cultivate for a while… Starting from today, do not look for me for three years,” Yan Luo said coldly.

As her words fell, the Fallen Angel exuded a gray glow, absorbing the remaining dead spirit creatures.

A second wave of gray light appeared and two broken skeletons rolled up from the sea water, leaving the Earth-ranked bone bird.

In a flash of light, the two Earth-ranked dead spirit creature were now too absorbed into the Fallen Angel Desk.

The next moment, Yan Luo’s body gave out a flash and together with the Fallen Angel Desk, they were both sucked into a void, disappearing out of sight.

Looking up above the sky, the silver light gradually subsided. After Shi Mu fell silent, he rose one hand up and once again tried to summon the Green-Winged Flying Carriage. He sat with his legs crossed and took out two spirit stones.

Although this golden jiao serpent had been seriously injured by Yan Luo, it was still difficult to ensure that it did not possess any secret technique to recover from its injury and attack again. After all, the body had already torn apart but still came back together.

Once it occurred to him, Shi Mu single-handedly urged the Green-Winged Flying Carriage to speed in with full force.

After a little over half a day…

The sea breeze roared as the white waves rolled. An aquatic beast’s skeleton appeared on the water’s surface through the undulations of the waves, constantly colliding with bursts of sound.

“Roar!”

On the other side of the sea, a ten-foot long Blue Beast Shark appeared and its gesture looked like it was shooting at something.

Only the sacred bones were left on the tail fins. The flesh and blood had been stripped completely clean from its body.

A soft puffing sound could be heard!

The flesh and blood peeled off from the skeleton and slowly drifted into the sky.

Beside the Blue Beast Shark, a bloody mist could be seen everywhere. Hundreds of sea creatures no lesser than the Blue Beast Shark had been separated and fluttered into the sky.

Bloody mist floated in the air, and within it was the skull of the golden jiao serpent.

The golden jiao serpent was full of anger. It opened its mouth and a blood vortex rotated rapidly, creating a huge suction force. A mass of flesh and blood floating in the sea below was sucked into the vortex.

A large amount of flesh and blood was swallowed by the golden jiao serpent, and the wounds on its body began to heal quickly as it radiated a golden light.

Once all the flesh and blood had been consumed, the thick blood fog suddenly rolled like the long whales absorbing water. Soon, the skull of the golden jiao serpent was gone.

A golden light flashed and the body of the golden jiao serpent disappeared. Instead, a man in a golden robe appeared and stood up.

“Who is this? Who dares defeat me?” the man said as he transformed into a ray of golden light and flew away northward.

On the unnamed waters of the Eastern Sea, a shadow of blue light flew through the sea. It was none other than Shi Mu who was riding in the Green-Winged Flying Carriage.

After flying for more than half a day, the island he and the Azure Ape King had made a promise to meet at was getting closer. Shi Mu felt more and more uneasy as he was constantly plagued with worries that he might be hunted down by the golden jiao serpent.

Shi My suddenly felt a powerful and unpredictable spiritual fluctuation in the sea ahead. He was shocked and quickly stopped in his tracks.

“Ao…!” A loud snoring could be heard from the distance.

In an instant, Shi Mu witnessed a crystal water column rise from within the waters in front of the sky.

The water column lasted for about four or five minutes in the air before it broke open and slammed down.

Golden light flashed in Shi Mu’s eyes. When he finally regained himself, something caught his attention. Below the sea was a creature in dark green, standing out from its surroundings.

The powerful spiritual fluctuations came from the dark green sea.

“Sea Whale Beast!” Shi Mu muttered to himself.

This kind of Sea Whale Beast was among the leaders of this area. It was not only huge in size but superior in strength too, though its intelligence was low. In addition to eating, it generally did not take the initiative to attack surrounding creatures.

As he was about to turn around and swim away, suddenly his body shook. It turned his head and his eyes fluttered.

On the gray line in the distance was a hint of gold.

Shi Mu immediately calmed down and turned his gaze back to the dark green waters. He gritted his teeth and put away the Green-Winged Speeding Carriage. Immediately he dove into the sea.

As soon as Shi Mu was underwater, he was shocked to see that dozens of seaweeds had escaped.

Their upper bodies were shaped like sunflowers but with dozens of tentacles in the lower part. They fed on flesh but were afraid of the smell of blood too. Although they were at the bottom of the food chain, their number was enormous.

At the moment, tens of thousands of them swam in this part of the sea.

The seaweed swam by shrinking their tentacles. They were not particularly fast but they were faster than many fish.

Shi Mu turned as an idea popped up into his mind.

He flipped his wrist and lifted the black knife. As he held the blade in his left hand and gently wiped it, blood immediately floated out from it.

Around 100,000 seaweeds around him sensed the bloody stench and immediately fled. However, a few bloodthirsty low-ranked sea beasts and weeping fish gathered in excitement.

Shi Mu’s hands quickly twitched in front of his chest and an invisible chain flew out of his body. Like a snake, he pulled a trace of his blood and it floated away in all directions.

The silky blood essence was firmly tied to a seaweed.

Hundreds of seaweeds that were bound by Shi Mu immediately scattered in all directions.

Shi Mu had a sly smile on his face as he raised the palm of his hand forward, it bent into a claw gently gripping together. As soon as the strong blood essence flew out, the weeping fish sniffed it out and was bound as it desperately tried to break free.

Shi Mu did the same and released his palm.

The weeping fish immediately drew a line in the water with its tail and flew away, several times faster than the seaweed.

After doing this, Shi Mu did not float out of the sea but swam quickly toward the dark green waters.

Although he was aware that the dark green was actually a Sea Whale Beast, Shi Mu was shocked at how huge the monster was.

The body of the Sea Whale Beast was at least a few hundred feet long and its dark green skin looked almost like a green hill.

The beast’s fins hanging down on the side of its body were larger than any boats Shi Mu had ever traveled in.

Shi Mu paddled with his hands, floating his body up. Soon, he approached the mouth of the Sea Whale Beast.

The beast’s maw was the size of a small island. Numerous razor-sharp teeth were intertwined to form a white forest of thorns.

Shi Mu was barely even the height of the teeth.

Shi Mu swept away and took out the Green Cloak, putting it over his body. Under the cloak of invisibility, he climbed up the sharp teeth of the Sea Whale Beast. He had to bend and climb as the gaps and heights of the teeth varied.

After half a quarter of an hour, he finally entered the mouth of the Sea Whale Beast.

Shi Mu sat on his knees and did not use Spirit Stones to restore his strength, nor dared to release a trace of spiritual fluctuations in fear of getting caught by the golden jiao serpent.

It was not long before it was able to climb into the mouth of the Sea Whale Beast. A golden figure roared atop its head, revealing the shadow of a man. It was Ao Zu.

Ao Zu paused for awhile then immediately leaned over and rushed into the sea.

“Oh, something’s not right!”

As soon as Ao Zu entered the water, he immediately found the situation abnormal.

He was able to feel Shi Mu’s presence but it seemed to be somewhat scattered.

At the moment, Ao Zu closed his eyes and used his secret technique.

His eyes rolled quickly under the eyelids, and after a while, they opened again.

“How is it possible?” Ao Zu muttered to himself as his eyes quickly swept around.

He used the secret method and found Shi Mu’s blood essence in almost every direction. Some were more than ten miles away.

Ao Zu seemed to have thought of something and scoffed angrily before rushing to another direction.

After a while, he turned to his head again, then again in another direction, seemingly confused.

After several times, Ao Zu became gloomy and his expression was cold as ice.

Suddenly, his eyes turned and abruptly looked at the dark green waters.

In fact, he was already aware of it but did not approach it. After awhile, he began to have his doubts about the beast.

The Sea Whale Beast did not have a stench of Shi Mu’s blood essence, which seemed strange.

Zoom!

At lightning speed, Ao Zu was on the body of the Sea Whale Beast.

Looking at the huge beast, its face showed hesitance but it did not attack.

Although the beast was not weak, it was not a big deal for him. It might take some time to defeat it. If Shi Mu was hiding there, it would not be worth it.

He spurred forth and slowly landed on the back of the beast. He stretched out a hand and gently stroked it, silently chanting a curse.

Following the golden light, a circle of golden ripples slowly spread from the palm of his hand.
