Reverse War Surpass Immortal

Chapter 897 - 818: Encountering the Ice Corpse Again (3)

Obviously, Zhan Changsheng's intention to deal with them is a matter of course.In the following days, the martial artists of Yuanzhen Continent were all on edge, though the sea demons were driven into the depths of the ocean by the Heavenly Tribulation, seemingly relieving the crisis for the human clan of Yuanzhen Continent.

Yet, every human warrior was very worried. Should those sea demons decide to go down with the human clan, charging ashore, not only could the human-built fortresses be overwhelmed, but even the Heavenly Tribulation might be insufficient!

The Taihuang Immortal Sect backed off several kilometers inland to establish their base.

For now, humans and sea demons achieved peace.

On the other hand, Duan Gujin infiltrated the sea demons to uncover what they were up to.

After infiltrating the sea demons, he knocked out some and forcibly read their memories. That's when he realized the Sea Demon Leaders had issued orders prohibiting them from surfacing in the ocean and from coming ashore.

Upon hearing this news, at first, Duan Gujin struggled to believe those sea demons would abandon their grudges with the human clan, opting to obediently stay underwater and do nothing.

"Could this be false information deliberately leaked by the Three Great Leaders?"

He dared not ascertain whether the news was true or false, so he ventured into the sea demon tribe under the Feiyu Leader.

After some investigation, he learned the sea demons were indeed prohibited from coming ashore.

"If the Three Great Leaders order the sea demons to attack a city, the sea demons would have no choice but to comply!"

Turning the thought over in his mind, Duan Gujin felt this command could either be a delay tactic or genuine.

Whether the news was real or fake didn't matter to him; he was only intent on exploring the Sealed Land of the Sea Demon Ancient God to understand its true nature.

After a bit of searching, Duan Gujin sneaked in.

At that moment, the whole Sealed Land was devoid of any sea demon guards.

After entering, he discovered the Sealed Land had been completely abandoned, lacking any energy of prohibition.

While there, he found a statue, and upon seeing it, he realized the ancestors of the Sea Demon Ancient God were the Cang Jiao.

Cang Jiao was a type of Demigod Beast, naturally fierce with formidable combat power.

"Who would have thought there was such a powerful backer behind these sea demons!"

Even in the Divine World, Cang Jiao is quite renowned as a demigod beast.

"I wonder if there are any Cang Jiao among these sea demons?"

Duan Gujin contemplated.

Although Cang Jiao was a demigod beast, before it reached that status, it was regarded as a sea demon.

After recalling carefully, he realized he had not seen any Cang Jiao among the sea demons.

"It's said that snake-like demon beasts, upon reaching a certain level of cultivation, transform into flood dragons. Could Cang Jiao be related to the Nine-headed Snake?"

His eyes flickered sharply, deciding to probe this information further.

As he kept gathering intelligence, suddenly, he overheard sea demons discussing an ancient sea demon family emerging from the depths of the ocean.

Originally, that ancient sea demon family only intended to focus on cultivation, but the appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation on the ocean caused drastic changes to their secret base, resulting in many casualties of the same species.

Thus, that ancient sea demon family planned to send people to investigate the situation.

Many sea demons said that ancient sea demon family was the legendary flood dragon.

"A legendary flood dragon? Could it be Cang Jiao?"

Interest piqued, Duan Gujin decided to stay and explore further, having initially planned to leave.

A day later, now disguised as a sea demon infiltrating the sea demon ranks, he finally saw the newcomers.

The newcomers resembled fish in appearance, but their heads weren't fish-like, bearing a facial contour similar to the human clan.

The newcomers bore thick scale armor, which he recognized as fish scales.

"This isn't Cang Jiao!"

His eyes flickered, taking a sharp breath after a while, realizing the sea demons he was seeing were Ice Corpses!

Initially thinking he had mistaken, he cautiously extended his Divine Sense to observe those three sea demons.

Sensing them releasing faint Yin Cold Aura, recalling the similar aura from the Ice Corpses he had encountered inside the Ziwei Divine Palace priorly.

Moreover, he discovered the true owners of those three sea demon bodies had long perished, their bodies controlled, reminding him of the parasitic worms he encountered earlier.

"What are these Ice Corpses doing here?"

Taking a sharp breath once more, Duan Gujin never expected to encounter the Ice Corpses, once intended for elimination by the Ziwei Divine Palace, here.

He proceeded to see those three sea demons enter the Feiyu Leader's chamber, exiting after some time.

Duan Gujin followed the trio secretly.

Once those three left the territory of the Feiyu Leader, they swam towards the ocean depths.

Frowning slightly, Duan Gujin's eyes glimmered, his Divine Sense revealing all three sea demons possessed cultivation at the Martial Saint First Level, deeming defeating them in the ocean quite challenging.

In the ocean, unable to fully unleash his combat power, many of his Ultimate Skills couldn't be utilized here.

Moreover, those three upfront swam extremely fast, nearly inseparable, making them difficult to sneak attack.

"Friends ahead, the Feiyu Leader said I have a message for you!"

Promptly issuing Divine Thought to the three front sea demons.

"Speak!"

A cold Divine Thought returned from one of them.

"So cold!"

Concentrating his gaze, Duan Gujin immediately replied, "He asked me to tell you to return; he has crucial information to share!"

"Die!"

The cold Divine Thought instructed him to die.

Suddenly realizing his words likely raised suspicion, Duan Gujin swiftly retorted, "Come, bite me if you dare!"

The three swam up briefly, then turned and simultaneously spat out fist-sized chunks of ice at Duan Gujin.

The trio of thumb-sized cold ice sped towards Duan Gujin like lightning.

Duan Gujin inhaled deeply, mentally commanding the seawater before him to freeze.

Almost immediately, the three chunks of cold ice collided with the frozen seawater.

While containing potent demonic power, the trio of sea demon's ice was quick, capable of breaking through any ice effortlessly.

But the ice controlled by Duan Gujin's Primordial Power contained intense Domain Power. The faster the three ice chunks moved, the greater resistance they faced.
