At the same moment, system prompts resonated within Jiang Chen''s Sea of Consciousness, drawing a smile to his lips.
The great powerhouse who had conveniently ''passed by'' the location of Gu Ran and Fu Huacan, was, of course, none other than him!
Throughout the entire event, he didn''t show himself, nor did he reveal his aura, cultivation base, or even the slightest ripple of his divine sense.
The entire procedure was overseen by Nangong Wan!
That icy snort was also emitted by Nangong Wan!
In this manner, Gu Ran would remain oblivious to Jiang Chen''s existence, thus maintaining the upper hand in information secrecy.
''By interfering, I managed to prevent the dandy cultivator, Fu Huacan, from sessfully ''lending a helping hand'' to Gu Ran, bringing this plotline to a temporary halt.''
''However, influenced by the Heavenly Fate, Fu Huacan and the others are destined to cross paths with Gu Ran again, eventually leading to hostility and their ultimate downfall.''
''After Gu Ran offends the Fu n of ck Wood Ind, his path will intersect with the Feng n due to the ties between the Fu and Feng ns, among other reasons...''
''Thus, I will head back to ck Wood Ind to continue my covert interference in Gu Ran''s ''storyline'', aiming to halt his triumphant rise!'' With this n in mind, Jiang Chen readied himself to journey back to ck Wood Ind.
"Roar!!" Yet, right at that instant, a profoundly terrifying roar erupted from the nearby seabed.
Following that, it felt as though an underwater volcano had erupted!
A massive column of seawater sted up from the seabed, creating a monstrous wave, before plummeting down with a terrifying force!
Boom!
As if a giant peak in the ocean had copsed, numerous massive waves radiated outward, sweeping across the vicinity!
During this event, an extraordinarily powerful aura nketed arge section of the surrounding sea!
This aura... it undoubtedly belonged to the Dao Pce realm!!
Beyond this potent aura, a faint tinge of scarlet began to diffuse across the ocean and the sky.
''Holy smokes! Could this be the surge of the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi?'' Sensing the subtle traces of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi in the air, Jiang Chen''s eyes widened in disbelief.
''Incredibly, has the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi erupted here in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea?!''
''The Purple Heaven Holy Land just overcame Long Tianlu and repelled the Nether Demon n. In such a brief time, could the Nether Demon n have initiated an invasion here in the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea?!''
Then, it dawned on him.
The reason for the Nether Demon n''s invasion of the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea undoubtedly had to do with the protagonist, Gu Ran!
As the protagonist, how could Gu Ran not partake in an event as monumental as the Nether Demon n invading the Immortal Martial Continent?
He was bound to engage in the battle against the Nether Demon n, zing a path of strength!
Throughout this journey, making a name for himself and joining the battle for the title of the ''number one prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent''.
Eventually, he would stand off against Jiang Chen, seed in unting his prowess and triumphing, leapfrogging to be the number one prodigy of the Immortal Martial Continent. This would stun the entire world, earning him countless admirers and a horde of girls throwing themselves at his feet...
''Damn! The protagonist halo is truly exasperating!'' Jiang Chen internally grumbled, rolling his eyes.
''Just because of him, the Nether Demon invasion simply urs!''
''Now, I''m likely to get tangled up with this Dao Pce realm demon.''
''While Gu Ran has the liberty to ughter demons at will, plundering their cultivation base to be stronger.''
He then extended his divine sense towards the part of the sea from where the roaring and the potent aura were originating.
From the depths of the dark and frightening seabed, a massive pit appeared, with the seawater churning and roiling endlessly!
A substantial amount of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi painted the surrounding seawater a vivid red.
Furthermore, increasing volumes of Nether Demon Spiritual Qi erupted from the pit on the seabed, forming an eerie ''pir of light''!
Ssh! Ssh!
A gargantuan creature, asrge as a mountain, swam within the seabed, its formidable body faintly discernible in the shadowy waters.
It was a Late-stage Dao Pce realm demonic beast that had been corrupted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi!
Its form resembled a gigantic octopus with innumerable tentacles.
Its size surpassed one hundred thousand meters, and every movement it made could set off a terrifying natural catastrophe!
Furthermore, within the brain of this colossal octopus-like demonic beast, Jiang Chen detected another aura of the Dao Pce realm, this time emanating from the Demon Race!
And it was a familiar aura from the Nether Soul Demon n!
This Dao Pce realm Nether Soul Demon n member seemed to have employed some special technique to temporarily fuse with the octopus-like demonic beast, resulting in an even more formidable entity!
Watching the undercurrents brewing beneath the sea and the Dao Pce realm demon, Jiang Chen''s mind was awash with numerous thoughts:
''This creature! Could it be one of the Nether Soul Demon n members who escaped from the sh at the Verdant Leaf Giant Peak?!''
''Defeated and driven away from the Purple Heaven Holy Land, their leader was killed, and surprisingly, rather than recuperating, they''ve chosen to immediately invade the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.''
''Furthermore, it seems the Nether Demon n is nning to seize the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea in one swift action, using it as a base to extend their reach throughout the Lustrous Yang Domain!''
''Well, there were four Dao Pce realm demons that escaped previously, and with this newly surfaced Dao Pce realm demonic beast, that makes five Dao Pce realmbatants!''
''On the other hand, the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea only has three Dao Pce realm beings, and theirbat power is mediocre.''
''With such might, it''s indeed usible ording to calctions that the Nether Demon n could take over the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sea.''
''However, the arrival of the Nether Demon n is essentially a boon for Gu Ran.''
''Of course, it''s possible that the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect might genuinely fall, after all, they are the adversaries of Gu Ran.''
Pondering this, Jiang Chen''s musings were interrupted when another disturbance erupted from the seabed pit.
This explosion resulted in countless fissures instantaneously forming in the seabed of the surrounding sea area.
Within the tumultuous sea, a horde of demonic beasts tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi surged forth wildly, their objective being to assault the Ageless Spirit Heavenly Sect!
And standing as the initial line of defense against these demonic beasts was the susceptible ck Wood Ind!
''Damn, there are so many!'' Jiang Chen''s eyes narrowed at the oing horde of demonic beasts.
''But then again, the more I can ughter, the better!''
''Plus, these demonic beasts offer quite the opportunity for me, heh heh!'' A sly grin began to form on his face.
Then, Jiang Chen unsheathed the Purple Sun Thousand-Mile Sword and shed fiercely into the ocean below, ''Myriad Changes Evesting Sword!''
Ssh!
This mystical Sword Dao technique instantly split into numerous sword threads, ying a multitude of demonic beasts in the blink of an eye!
However, this time, Jiang Chen specifically aimed for demonic beasts below the Heavenly Origin realm.
This was because these demonic beasts were the primary prey for Gu Ran, who currently could not handle advanced demonic beasts.
Swoosh!
Stter!
With a single swing of Jiang Chen''s sword, the area spanning tens of thousands of miles beneath him instantly transformed into a sea of blood!
