“This is…” Su Han swam in the water and asked Hao Ren in bafflement.

“Demon Sea,” Hao Ren answered.

The sweeping attack from Qiu Niu almost broke all his bones, and now he couldn’t use any nature essence.

Su Han wasn’t doing any better since that attack suppressed her from peak Qian-level to top-tier Qian-level!

However, it was a fair price to pay for the Nuwa Stone.

Hao Ren looked around and didn’t see Zhao Kuo, thinking that the latter must have been swept to another place or another part of the Demon Sea.

He looked up into the sky and saw no trace of the Nine Dragon Palace.

Since the Demon Sea was below the Nine Dragon Palace, the array formation around the Demon Sea… Hao Ren seemed to understand the relation between these two places.

The array formation of the Nine Dragon Palace was effective not only to the inside of the Nine Dragon Palace but to the outside as well! Due to the suppression of the Nine Dragon Palace, the demon kings in the Demon Sea couldn’t get out of this region!

Lady Zhen probably had her own secret technique of breaking out of the array formation around the Demon Sea, which meant that she was more powerful than most of the other demon kings!

Now that she had taken Duan Yao as her disciple, she didn’t have to go out in person to run errands.

Hu… The ocean waves surged up as if the water were boiling.

Hao Ren sensed the nature essence intensity in the ocean and realized that they had unfortunately fallen into the inner area of the Demon Sea.

If he still had Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin with him, he might be able to defend himself. Now that the purple gold hairpin was gone, the golden shield disappeared, and he and Su Han had no access to their nature essence… Qiu Niu was sending them on the path of death by kicking them out of the Nine Dragon Palace and tossing them into the Demon Sea!

A demon dragon that had one horn on its forehead rose from the ocean.

Su Han still had her realm but couldn’t use any of her strength. With her purple sweater soaked, she could barely float alongside Hao Ren.

She had never been in such a poor state!

“Don’t be afraid!”

Hao Ren held Su Han’s waist and condensed a hundun lightning energy with the other hand, but this lightning energy was so weak that it was only the size of a thumb.

“Are you Hao Ren, Gongzi Hao?” the demon dragon suddenly asked Hao Ren and Su Han.

Hao Ren froze, and Su Han looked at him in surprise as well.

“Yes, I am!” Hao Ren answered.

“The Queen instructed me to wait for you here. When I saw you two falling from the sky, I felt like you must be Gongzi Hao. It seems like I’m right.” The demon dragon emerged entirely from the ocean and revealed its magnificent body.

Its body was even bigger than the largest fierce beast that Hao Ren and Su Han had seen in the Nine Dragon Palace. When it rose from the sea, the seawater surged up with it.

“What’s your name, Senior?” Hao Ren condensed a hundun lightning energy while he asked warily.

“I’m a common soldier out of the eight million demon soldiers under Queen Zhen’s command, and my name is not important. Gongzi Hao, please follow me to the Pity Flower Palace. I’ll get punished if we are late,” The demon dragon answered with a booming voice.

Hao Ren was a bit relaxed when he heard Lady Zhen’s name. If it represented another demon king, it would have attacked instead of wasting its time.

“There is no choice here,” Hao Ren said and leaped up with Su Han to stand on the back of this demon dragon.

Su Han hadn’t expected that she would fall into the inner area of the Demon Sea. The danger of the Demon Sea was even more than the Nine Dragon Palace.

She didn’t think that she would still have to rely on Hao Ren after they were outside of the Nine Dragon Palace.

However, the nature essence intensity in the Demon Sea was several times more abundant than in the Dragon God Shrine, giving her an excellent opportunity to recover.

Like a high mountain that was moving on the sea, the demon dragon swam toward the distance with Hao Ren and Su Han on its back.

The nature essence close to the sea surface was relatively thin, and only level 8 and level 9 demon beasts lingered here. The devil dragon covered Hao Ren and Su Han’s auras with its own level 10 demon beast aura. Therefore, they didn’t attract the attention of the big and small demon kings at the bottom.

In the last couple of days, Lady Zhen had sent out thousands of level 10 demon beasts to patrol the ocean surface, forcing the level 8 and level 9 demon beasts to stay low.

Now that the demon dragon had successfully picked up the people that Lady Zhen wanted, it was ready to go back and receive its reward.

Standing on the demon dragon’s back with Hao Ren, Su Han sensed the Nuwa Stone in her ring and was relieved.

After they came out of the Nine Dragon Palace, the famous Nuwa Stone had turned into a grey and dry pebble.

If she hadn’t taken it out from the Nine Dragon Palace personally, she wouldn’t have believed that it was one of the ancient godly items in legends.

If the Nuwa Stone was tossed into a pile of pebbles, Su Han was sure that she wouldn’t be able to distinguish it from the others.

It proved that ordinary cultivators couldn’t own godly items.

Boom!

While Su Han was happy about this, the ocean waves suddenly surged up violently around the demon dragon.

“Cackle… I, Xuhao, can’t allow anyone to pass my territory so easily!”

A sharp and ear-piercing voice sounded from the depth of the ocean. As the hundred-meter-high water beam shot into the sky, a thin figure appeared in it.

Roar!

The mountain-like demon dragon shot out two black death rays from its eyes!

“Cackle… A small level 10 demon beast dares to attack me!” The figure swallowed the black rays and suddenly left a big hole in the demon dragon’s body.

“Cackle…”

Wearing a red robe and holding a red shoe in his hand, a small demon with a pointed head and bullnose appeared before Hao Ren and Su Han.

Splash! The demon dragon collapsed into the surging water like a mountain. After all, a level 10 demon beast was fragile before such a big demon king.

Xuhao was the last one on the list of the ten big demon kings, and his territory was the smallest. However, he excelled in disguises and stealth. Since the five elements in nature couldn’t restrict him, even other big demon kings found it hard to deal with him, and anyone who messed with him was in great trouble.

Looking at him, Hao Ren remembered that when he left the Demon Sea last time, Xuhao had almost succeeded in sneak-attacking him. It had been a narrow escape.

Short and thin, Xuhao looked ridiculous in the big red robe. Right now, he tilted his head to one side and looked at Hao Ren and Su Han up and down, seeming to be considering how to eat them.

“Cackle… You still have the Immortal Physique. Despite the small loss in your Vital Yang energy, you’re still a top-tier material for making elixirs,” Xuhao looked at Hao Ren with satisfaction and then glanced at Su Han by his side. “This one is tender-fleshed. You are at Nascent Soul Realm, and you’re also a great tonic.”

He stuck his long tongue of out his withered mouth and licked his lips with greed. He had eaten lots of small demon kings, but his favorites were human cultivators.

After being locked in the Demon Sea, he hadn’t eaten a human cultivator for many years, especially a young cultivator.

“In your dreams!” Su Han shot her longsword toward Xuhao.

“Cackle… The more you resist, the better you taste!” Xuhao reached out his two slim arms from the red robe, letting Su Han’s longsword pierce his body.

His body was shapeless like a ghost. While Su Han’s longsword pierced his body, it didn’t injure him at all.

Since he a mass of ancient souls while was beyond the realm of five elements, he was just a ghost that advanced by swallowing people’s fear, anxiety, and hatred. Without a tangible form, he couldn’t be injured with physical attacks.

Having never met such a monster before, Su Han immediately withdrew the longsword and created an energy sphere.

However, Hao Ren knew that Su Han’s energy sphere had no effects on this demon king either. Like a ghost which could enter people’s mind, Xuhao couldn’t be blocked with physical barriers as well.

Hao Ren’s sword energies connected and formed a circular energy sphere that had lightning energy flashing around it.

Almost at the same time, Xuhao who had struck out his sharp claws toward Su Han saw the crackling lightning lights and pulled back.

Since lightning could break evils, only Hao Ren’s lightning energy had some effect on him!

“You know lightning techniques!” Xu Hao looked at Hao Ren with some astonishment.

Hao Ren snorted and brought his hands together, shooting dozens of hundun sword energies toward him.

“Cackle…” Xuhao let out a series of weird chilling laughter before vanishing suddenly.

However, Hao Ren wasn’t so naïve to think that Xuhao had fled. He knew that the latter was hiding somewhere, waiting to attack.

Since Hao Ren’s realm had dropped from peak Qian-level to Xun-level, and his body was damaged due to his use of Zhao Haoran’s 1,000-year cultivation strength, he couldn’t use the sword arrays now.

Seeming to know that Hao Ren couldn’t last long, Xuhao was lurking near Hao Ren and Su Han.

If he tried his best, he surely could break Hao Ren’s weak lightning energy sphere, but he excelled in sneak-attacks and didn’t want to fight with Hao Ren head-on.

After all, they were in his territory, and he could exhaust Hao Ren’s strength. He didn’t want this to turn into a huge battle where other demon kings would be attracted.

Just as Hao Ren was feeling exhausted and couldn’t maintain the energy sphere anymore, he felt a great surge of nature essence being transferred into his back.

Su Han placed her palms on Hao Ren’s back and transferred some of her strength into him! In the Demon Sea that had an abundance of nature essence, she had recovered a part of her cultivation strength in a short time!

“Sword array! Up!”

The 2,560 sword energies condensed into 512 hundun sword energies!

Su Han felt the nature essence in her body pouring out like water in a waterfall!

Hao Ren’s sword energies swept out in a wave!

After being injured by Xuhao last time, he had wanted revenge. However, he entered the Demon Sea again and met this demon king again before his realm reached the desired level.

Now that they meet again, he was determined to kill this ghost!

Suddenly, Su Han felt like almost all her nature essence was being sucked out by Hao Ren. With two-thirds of her strength out of her body, she fell onto Hao Ren’s back!

The grey sword energies lit up Xuhao’s figure in the area, breaking his stealth.

“The second strike of the Mystic Water Sword Techniques!”

The hundun sword energies turned into a colorful energy sword with flashing lightning on it, and it stabbed toward Xuhao’s heart. Hao Ren stood where he was while the sword moved at his will!

With green lights shining in his eyes, Xuhao was panicking, and he quickly turned into white smoke, wanting to escape into the ocean.

The lightning energy was a combination of the five elements, and it could eliminate all evil and filth!

Combining his own strength with Su Han’s, Hao Ren was determined to kill this demon king so that the latter wouldn’t cause trouble for him again in secret!

The colorful energy sword slashed toward the sea surface and instantly cut the white smoke into two halves. Hao Ren had condensed a great amount of Vital Yang Energy into the sword, and it was especially useful against ghosts!

The water in the sea was clearly lit up by the bright light.

The white smoke was trying to flee into the depth of the ocean, but Hao Ren suddenly released all his and Su Han’s nature essence. At the moment, Su Han felt like all of her nature essence was sucked out.

Hiss… Hao Ren’s colorful energy sword shot out a beam of light toward the center of the white smoke.

“Please forgive me! I will do anything for you!” At this critical moment, Xuhao immediately begged for mercy.

Hao Ren wouldn’t give him any chance since he had sensed that Xuhao had swallowed countless cultivators and harbored many evil thoughts.

“Su Han! The Nuwa Stone!” Hao Ren yelled.

He was afraid that his sword energies couldn’t kill Xuhao completely, and the evil ghost might get away.

Surprised, Su Han took out the Nuwa Stone from her ring.

Hao Ren injected the last bit of hundun energy into the Nuwa Stone, and colorful lights instantly lit up the entire area.

Xuhao had split himself from the white smoke and was ready to flee as a dash of black smoke, but he yelled in desperation when he saw the lights, “Nuva Stone!”

He had never imagined that an ancient godly item would appear here!

Hiss… Xuhao was melted by the light which was released from the Nuwa Stone. If Hao Ren’s lightning sword energies hadn’t cut off half of his soul, he might have had a chance to escape.

Xuhao, one of the ten big demon kings, had never thought that he would die at the hands of Hao Ren who was supposed to be his prey!

Boom… The ocean waves surged up.

The demon kings were coming this way one by one after getting the news.

“Go!” Hao Ren took Su Han’s hand and fled into the ocean while he controlled Su Han’s longsword with the metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence.

“Damn it! Why am I always fleeing for my life when I’m with Hao Ren?” Su Han couldn’t help complaining silently.

In the blink of an eye, Hao Ren dug out a token and hung it on his belt.

The Penglai Immortal Token!
