Chapter 1929: Chapter 2026: Chaotic Sea Area
Just as the three sect were in panic over the Demon Tree, the Demon Beast that had single-handedly destroyed the vast Tang Country was moving toward the Seven Seas.
Similar to what happened at the Seven Seas, everywhere the Demon Beast went was shrouded in gray mist. Any creature caught in this mist had their life force drained by the Demon Beast, leading many to flee in advance upon learning of its approach.
Even so, many people and demon beasts died along the Demon Beast’s path, causing panic among the inhabitants of the Nine Countries as grave as that in the Seven Seas.
As for why the Demon Beast was heading toward the Seven Seas, few bothered to consider it; everyone was struggling just to survive, focusing only on self-preservation.
High in the sky, the umbrella bearer watched coldly as the Demon Beast headed for the Seven Seas, not taking action to stop it.
"So eager, it seems you can hardly wait," the umbrella bearer murmured calmly, his expression serene, concealing his thoughts.
As one of the Ancient Spirit Incarnations, the umbrella bearer understood the Demon Beast’s intent, aware of the horrific consequences should the ancient magic tree and the Demon Beast unite.
Yet he couldn’t intervene; fundamentally, both the ancient magic tree and Demon Beast, like the Ancient Spirit Incarnations, were equal beings, each bearing the will of the ancient spirit of Mountain Tu.
The umbrella bearer, while wishing the ancient spirit wouldn’t manifest again, couldn’t resist its will, and could only allow events to unfold without opposing anything the ancient spirit intended.
Glancing back, the umbrella bearer had a look of hope and mused, "Only Pill Sovereign Fang can afford to refine pills with gifts left by the four exotic beasts. Whether he can reach my level depends on how much this pill enhances him."
In the next moment, the umbrella bearer vanished from the land of Nine Countries, appearing directly in the Seven Seas, where he glanced at the ancient magic tree rampaging in the sea.
"Has it really come to this?" The umbrella bearer seemed unexpectedly complicated, surprised by the ancient magic tree’s rapid growth beyond imagination.
"In this vast Seven Seas, so many beings of the three sect must repay the sins of those three Sky Tower Sword Masters who fled in the past," the umbrella bearer said, resigning to fate despite his freedom.
The creation of the three sect was by the Sky Tower Sword Masters’ evasion of disaster, which has grown powerful over time, rivaling the Nine Countries.
Yet in recent years, the Seven Seas’ three sect have faced many calamities, weakened significantly, likely linked to the reawakening of the Sky Tower Sword Masters.
To the umbrella bearer, the three sect recklessly dared to involve the ancient magic tree, sealing their fate when they took its root from Ghost Mountain Blood Lake.
Sadly, the Sky Tower Sword Masters thought they could ensure peace by staying behind the scenes, realizing too late when true disaster struck that regrets were useless.
The umbrella bearer stepped forward, disappearing instantly, unnoticed even by the three Sky Tower Sword Masters in the Seven Seas.
Upon the umbrella bearer’s reappearance, he arrived at a remote and unfamiliar place.
Here was the Chaotic Sea Area, the most enigmatic sea region in the Seven Seas, unexplored by the three sect, completely unknown to the people of Nine Countries.
Roar!!!
With the umbrella bearer’s arrival, a furious beast’s roar emerged from beneath the ink-black sea surface, followed by a gigantic, fierce sea beast breaking the ocean. It resembled a sky-swallowing serpent, charging at the umbrella bearer with a mouth full of fangs.
Moreover, a terrifying aura emanated from the depths, each one being extremely formidable outside.
"Calm down." The umbrella bearer waved his sleeve, causing the giant snake to fall back into the sea, unable to touch him at all.
Although the umbrella bearer revealed his invincible power, the sea beasts of the Chaotic Sea Area were utterly fearless, their ferocity growing, glaring at him as if ready to attack again.
The umbrella bearer smiled, "After all these years, your temper hasn’t changed a bit. No wonder, given you were ordered to guard here."
"Why are you here?" An ancient voice sounded, as a majestic deer demon with nine colors gracefully emerged onto the water, confronting the umbrella bearer.
The umbrella bearer faced the deer demon, smiling brightly, "Long time no see, your hostility toward me seems strong."
The Nine-Colored Deer gazed coldly and said, "State your purpose directly without unnecessary chatter."
Seeing the Nine-Colored Deer unwilling to exchange pleasantries, the umbrella bearer had no choice but to smile wryly and spoke solemnly, "I wish to take something from here."
"Impossible." The Nine-Colored Deer outright rejected, with no room for negotiation, turning to leave.
The umbrella bearer quickly said, "The time has come for this item to emerge."
The Nine-Colored Deer paused, "Unless he himself comes to claim it, no one else can take it."
The umbrella bearer scratched his head, "He finds it inconvenient now, can’t I take it on his behalf?"
The Nine-Colored Deer glanced back with disdain and mockery, seeming to tell the umbrella bearer it won’t believe him.
The umbrella bearer sighed, blocking the departing Nine-Colored Deer, who watched him warily.
"How about this, you bring the item and come with me to give it to him, would that work?" the umbrella bearer proposed, an unexpected compromise for someone like him.
The Nine-Colored Deer shook its head, "He said he’d come for it himself when the time is right, I only trust him, I won’t trust anyone else."
After pausing, the Nine-Colored Deer stared at the umbrella bearer, "Especially you."
The umbrella bearer shrugged, "So it’s not negotiable?"
The Nine-Colored Deer remained silent but looked prepared for battle.
The umbrella bearer calmly stated, "You know well, if I truly wanted to seize it, none of you could stop me."
"If you try to take it, we only have to fight back. You’d better slay us all, fulfilling his trust in us," the Nine-Colored Deer resolutely said.
