Chapter 311: Such A Strike Should Not Exist In the Mortal World
502 Sea God’s Star Tears was an unimaginable fortune.
If they were all to appear on the market, the entire North Sea would be shocked.
Of course, no one would do such a thing recklessly as the rarer a thing was, the more it was worth.
Thus, if one really sold the Sea God’s Star Tears in large batches, the price would instead drop substantially.
It was better to keep and use the Sea God’s Star Tears for cultivation, then give a few to friends and family, or hand them to the sect in exchange for contribution points.
“I’ve heard that the Divine Firmament Saint is blessed by providence or better the five regions’ peerless Son of Providence. Now, I verified that such rumors are true. I am convinced.”
The White Prince of the Silver Octopus race smiled brightly as he had obtained quite the number of Sea God’s Star Tears.
He was clear that it was all due to Shen Tian.
If not for Shen Tian, he might not be able to obtain such benefits even if he explored the whole Chaotic Star Island for a year with his strength.
With 15 Sea God’s Star Tears in hand, it would not be considered a loss if they directly left Chaotic Star Island now.
The Crab Prince waved his huge pincers as he smiled and said, “It’s all due to the Divine Firmament Saint and Purple Mansion Saint that we could obtain the Star Tears. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to collect them so smoothly.
“Of course, Princess Pianxian also contributed greatly to finding the Star Tears. We are grateful for having benefited.”
Shen Tian’s face turned red as he sensed the four princes’ gratitude.
Cough, cough... Can I say that I am also here to freeload your fortuitous opportunities?
Calling me the Son of Providence...
Hehe, I am embarrassed for such undeserving praise!
...
In the end, Shen Tian had obtained 200 of the 502 Sea God’s Star Tears.
After the Star Tears were distributed, they also found quite an amount of exotic flowers and rare herbs on the island.
Although these exotic flowers and rare herbs were far less precious compared to the Sea God’s Star Tears, they were also supreme-grade items that were rarely found outside.
It could be said that such items would tempt most Supremacies, and they might even fight over them.
The only regretful thing was that this island’s core area was enshrouded in thick chaotic aura, so they could not find any cracks at all.
If not, they might find some exotic treasures as they had been able to find 500 Sea God’s Star Tears in just the island’s outer area. This star island was simply too special and miraculous.
“It might be the opportunity has yet to arrive, the core area is not fated with us.”
Shen Tian did not mind as he had not seen any cultivators whose halos’ showed fortuitous opportunity scenes related to this star island’s core area.
Evidently, the core area would remain off-limits during this trial, so there was no use to wait there.
Soon, the chaotic aura barrier above them started to crack open, so Shen Tian decided to leave.
The eight of them flew into the sky and rushed toward that crack simultaneously, successfully squeezing out of it.
When they appeared outside, they saw a few ocean race prodigies that were ready to enter.
They had been waiting for quite a few days outside this star island for the crack to appear on the chaotic aura barrier, and they were just about to enter to plunder the items within.
However, once they saw Shen Tian and his party exit from the cracks, they were about to cry out loud. None of Shen Tian’s group could be trifled with, after all. Since they had already exited from this island, nothing should be left within.
That was to say, they had wasted their days waiting!
“I greet the Seventh Dragon Prince, Divine Firmament Saint, Purple Mansion Saint, and Princess Piantian.”
These ocean race prodigies cupped their hands as they respectfully bowed before Shen Tian and his party. They then dashed in different directions as if they were escaping.
It was not as if they were afraid Shen Tian and his party might kill them. It was because the first month was the easiest to obtain fortuitous opportunities in the star islands.
After the first month, most of the outer and safer islands would have been plundered by numerous cultivators already.
By then, one would have to take the risk and head in the deeper region to find more fortuitous opportunities, thus making it much more dangerous.
They had waited for three days in front of this star island. In other words, they had wasted three days, three days of the first month they could have spent to enter another island or two.
As such, they had to make the best use of their time and hurry to find another island!
...
Shen Tian could not help but exclaim as he looked at those demons, “Such polite demons.”
Seriously, did they have to rush this much?
Isn’t it just missing one island? What’s the need to be so agitated for? More haste, less speed. One should not hurry when searching for fortuitous opportunities.
As you can see, I’m taking my time. I even want to return to the City of Bliss to rest for a few days.
Yeap, since I know about when each fortuitous opportunity might appear, I can be this willful!
Ao Wu threw a Sea God’s Star Tear into his mouth and ate it as if he was chewing sugar beans; his whole body emitted blue light.
He looked at Shen Tian. “Brother Shen, where are we going next? Please lead the way!”
Qi Shaoxuan, who was at the side, was a little jealous. Ao Wu was his contract partner!
Can’t I also try leading the way?
I could show you miracles too!
Shen Tian did not notice the deep resentment Qi Shaoxuan’s eyes betrayed.
He slowly closed his eyes, recalling the scenes seen from a certain prodigy’s halo.
However, in the eyes of Yu Pianxian, Ao Wu, Qi Shaoxuan, and the others, Shen Tian was currently unfathomable.
He seemed to have cast some kind of spell, sensing for something. There was a mysterious smile on his handsome face, and he looked like nothing could escape his eyes.
Indeed, it was no coincidence that Shen Tian could find the Sea God’s Star Tears. This mysterious Saint did have an unknown way of searching for treasures.
However, none of them asked Shen Tian about it as everyone in the cultivation world had their own secrets.
Respecting others’ secrets was the basic requirement to remain friends with someone.
Not to mention others, Qi Shaoxuan, Ao Wu, Yu Pianxian, and the four princes—top-notch prodigies of their respective race—had their own secrets.
...
Shen Tian slowly opened his eyes. He smiled and pointed toward Chaotic Star Island’s inner region.
“How about we head deeper?”
Everyone took a deep look at Shen Tian. They were basically clear that if they encountered another huge fortuitous opportunity this time, there would definitely be a problem.
It was rumored that the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground had a Favored Ones group, which was previously called Celievers, and the person they worshiped was none other than Shen Tian.
According to the Celievers’ initial teachings, those who believed in Master Heavens would encounter fortuitous opportunities, and it was said that the success rate was 100%.
Originally, everyone took such rumors lightly. However, they had second thoughts today as they had already profited greatly thanks to Shen Tian.
Everyone followed Shen Tian deeper into Chaotic Star Island, and they were all silent along the way.
Just like before, Shen Tian completely ignored those star islands that they encountered on the way as if he clearly knew his target.
When they occasionally encountered chaotic aura spheres on the way, they would stay far away. Thus, they had not encountered any dangers.
Due to the Chaos Array’s oppression, everyone spent one day and night flying 10,000 miles. The chaotic aura also turned thicker by a few times, especially the aura barriers protecting the islands.
If the star islands outside were only a layer of fine gauze curtain, then the aura barrier that Shen Tian and the others saw was like a big blanket.
The chaotic aura surged as it surrounded those islands, sending shivers down one’s spine—that was the oppression on the level of one’s life essence!
...
Finally, Shen Tian stopped.
Everyone stopped in front of a humongous island.
“Be careful!”
Suddenly, a huge tentacle appeared from the depths of the island.
That tentacle was thousands of feet long and was headed toward Yu Pianxian.
It possessed tremendous strength that could create tens of thousands of feet tall waves. Its might could even be compared to that of a Soul Formation cultivator.
Yu Pianxian instantly turned as pale as a sheet. After all, she was an early-stage Nascent Soul Mermaid and not proficient in fighting. Her true strength was only similar to that of the four princes and even worse than the Golden Body Ao Wu.
She was unable to resist such a ferocious beast that was on par with a Soul Formation cultivator.
“Evil creature, how presumptuous!”
The Heaven’s Halberd in Qi Shaoxuan’s hands shone brightly, and a purple aura surrounded him. He instantly attacked that tentacle with his halberd aura.
Just as he released his halberd aura, a second tentacle that carried a thick fishy scent
suddenly sprung out from diagonally behind, aiming his body.
This tentacle was red and green in color and had clear distinctive spots. It seemed exceptionally hideous and weird.
Qi Shaoxuan felt that if the tentacle actually caught him, he would feel disgusted for at least half a month in the case he survived.
Without any other choice, Qi Shaoxuan could only defend and retreat, slicing a huge cut on the second tentacle and knocking it back.
At the same time, a third, fourth, and fifth tentacle also appeared out of nowhere.
This ocean could block one’s senses, so it was the perfect environment for powerful, ferocious beasts to conceal themselves perfectly. Thus, flying in such an ocean was not safe.
“F*ck, this damn octopus dares to capture me? I’ll teach it my Turtle race’s power! Consecutive Turtle Fists!”
“This octopus is indeed powerful. Is it your Silver Octopus race’s ancestor? White, how about calling it grandfather? You might be able to beg it for mercy.”
“Scram! If my race’s seniors were to be corroded by the chaotic aura, they would turn into small cute ocean beasts, not into such a huge and ugly monster! The color and appearance of this tentacle are simply hideous.”
“Take my Dragons Claw, awo, awo, awo!”
...
A tentacle per enemy—that octopus hiding within the ocean was extremely powerful.
Even with Qi Shaoxuan’s battle prowess, he was unable to defeat it in a short period.
Yu Pianxian was already unable to last. Her defensive techniques were ineffective, and that disgusting tentacle moved closer and closer to Yu Pianxian. She was horror-stricken...
Am I going to die in such a disgusting monster’s tentacle?
I’ll never resign even if I die!
As that tentacle was about to completely bind Yu Pianxian, a ray of golden light descended.
In that instant, Yu Pianxian felt as if she had entered a warm embrace, and she felt at ease.
She lifted her head and stared blankly. What she saw was a side face that could not be more exquisite.
It’s him! It’s him! It’s actually him!
Yu Pianxian’s pretty face turned completely red. It was almost even worth dying to be able to be embraced by him.
“Princess Piantian, you originally owed me two Sea God’s Star Tears. Since I saved you again this time, it should be worth another Sea God’s Star Tear, right?”
Yu Pianxian, “...”
So you saved me because you want me to repay my debt?
Do all male humans lack a sense of romance?
Yu Pianxian was so angry she pouted and looked like she would spit out bubbles anytime.
...
Swoosh!
The monster was angered as Shen Tian snatched its prey, and huge waves were instantly formed on the ocean surface.
A humongous red-green octopus with blood-red eyes appeared in front of everyone.
Each tentacle was thousands of feet long and looked extremely frightening. They looked like they could blot out the sun and darken the sky or make huge waves surge with a simple action. It was the king of this ocean.
“This octopus is most likely at the Soul Formation stage. Brother Shen, let me help you!”
The purple eye between Qi Shaoxuan’s brows shone with a divine glow. He was instantly covered by an immense amount of purple aura, resembling a deity that had descended on earth.
“Eight Wildernesses Halberd: Dragon Cloud Sky Shattering Attack!!!”
Qi Shaoxuan’s hollered as he swung his Heaven’s Halberd around, creating countless shadows and afterimages. As he moved, that boundless purple aura started to gather.
Soon, the boundless purple aura transformed into a long purple aura divine dragon. Every single dragon scale was shiny and life-like, exuding an intense dragon aura.
Although it was not particularly big, this dragon exuded an aura that was even more spine-chilling than before.
Qi Shaoxuan’s suddenly merged with that purple dragon and pounced at that octopus.
Although the purple dragon was only one-third of the octopus’ body size, they were evenly matched as they fought.
However, Qi Shaoxuan would not be able to defeat the octopus in a short period.
“We need to finish promptly, or other powerful ocean beasts might be attracted,” Shen Tian murmured to himself. He made several hand seals with both hands, and a bright ray of light instantly condensed.
A water-jade-like longsword instantly appeared in Shen Tian’s hands.
Shen Tian was clad in his white dragon-patterned brocade robe, and as he stood there with his sword, he looked graceful and mysterious.
He was aloof and refined as if he did not belong to the mortal world.
Clang!
Shen Tian pulled out his sword. His actions were as simple as they could get as he gently slashed with the sword forward.
However, this slash contained countless sword techniques, and each technique was so profound and obscure that one could not understand and remember at all.
That’s right, although they had seen Shen Tian slash, they had absolutely no memory of the sword technique.
At that moment, Shen Tian completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.
What replaced him was a sword light shrouded in divine aura.
Its ancient glow was like the light of the moon flowing down the long river of time, crossing over centuries and millennia.
It was also like a piece of destiny, cut off at a certain point in time.
Clang!
The Jade Water Sword was sheathed again.
The 1,000-feet purple dragon lifted its head slowly.
Ao Wu and the others also shook their heads to recover their consciousness.
Swoosh!
The eight humongous tentacles were sliced off cleanly and directly landed in the ocean; their smelly blood instantly dyed the whole ocean red.
That strike resulted in the direct death of the giant Soul Formation octopus!
The strength of that strike was enough to shock the five regions!
...
“That strike has appeared once again.”
Qi Shaoxuan called back his purple aura avatar, and his eyes were shining brightly.
Frankly speaking, Shen Tian’s slash had already become a peak that could not be overcome in his heart.
As long as he successfully stepped over this peak, he would be able to overcome the barrier within him, and his future achievements would be limitless.
As for the others, it was the first time they had seen the Sword Immortal’s Flying Sword Intent, so they had the same thoughts.
The Divine Firmament Saint is indeed a Sword Immortal that has descended from the heavens, such a strike... should not exist in the mortal world!
