Dragon-Blooded War God

The steam dissipated, allowing Long Chen to see what was going on clearly. The Golden Horn Blood Sharks were all gathered at a single spot fifty meters away from them. They appeared to be worshipping something in another direction.

Long Chen realized what was happening. A stronger Underworld Beast is here!

Ye Xuan attempted to run towards Long Chen’s side.

He was worried because he had sensed the horrifying presence as well. Whatever was coming right now was definitely more dangerous than ten Golden Horn Blood Sharks. He was certain that Long Chen would be killed within seconds.

Ye Xuan hadn't even reached Long Chen when Long Chen sensed a powerful presence coming from the direction that the Golden Horn Blood Sharks were praying to. The terrifying Underworld Beast had no intention of hiding its presence, seeing as how it continued to let off its powerful aura.

Suddenly, a five-meter-long shark appeared in the water.

The small shark was silver, unlike the blood-red Golden Horn Blood Sharks, but it also sported the same golden horn on its head.

“A Golden Horn Silver Shark!” Ye Xuan cried in surprise.

“That’s one of the legendary Underworld Beasts that reigns supreme in the Underworld Blood Sea. It’s the strongest version of the Golden Horn Blood Shark, and it's supposed to be at the Category Three Divine-tier!”

The cute-looking Golden Horn Silver Shark was only five-meters long, but it was still a Category Three Divine-tier Underworld Beast. A cultivator at that stage could kill Long Chen and Ye Xuan instantly. Neither Long Chen nor Ye Xuan could do anything to deal with this Underworld Beast.

Their faces were pale when they encountered the fearsome beast.

Even Underworld Soldiers had only heard rumors of it; they never had concrete evidence that the Golden Horn Silver Shark existed. If they had confirmed it, Ye Xuan wouldn’t have meddled with the Golden Horn Blood Sharks from before and risked attracting the overlord of the Underworld Blood Sea. They were in a dangerous situation right now.

Long Chen wasn’t panicking as hard as Ye Xuan, because he knew Gudu Jun was nearby.

As expected, Gudu Jun was actually running towards them at top speed and would arrive shortly.

The Golden Horn Silver Shark was glaring at Long Chen and Ye Xuan with its beady, silver eyes. It was bizarre to see such a small Underworld Beast unleashing such a terrifying aura, but Long Chen wasn’t fooled. He was wary of the Underworld Beast.

This was the first time he had seen such a horrifying beast.

He was certain that the Golden Horn Silver Shark had lived for thousands of years.

Ye Xuan finally reached Long Chen’s side.

Long Chen was going to hide Ye Xuan in the Primordial Realm, but it was too late. A silver circle appeared from the Golden Horn Silver Shark’s eyes and traveled slowly towards Long Chen and Ye Xuan. Both of them felt like they were trapped and couldn’t move at all as death slowly crept towards them.

The light had almost reached them when Gudu Jun appeared in front of them. He was ready for combat, as if he had expected the Golden Horn Silver Shark to appear. With a light punch, he smashed the silver light into dust. The dust scattered downwards and exploded when it touched the water. The entire sea around them exploded into plumes of water as if countless beasts were swimming underneath the surface. The plumes of water engulfed Long Chen and Ye Xuan before dragging them underwater.

“Ye Xuan!”

But it was too late. The water around them was churning violently due to the anger of the Golden Horn Silver Shark. The Golden Horn Silver Shark noticed that Gudu Jun was as strong as itself, so it focused on him the moment he appeared and unleashed all of its anger onto him.

Gudu Jun had wanted Long Chen and Ye Xuan to escape first, but now it was too late.

Both Long Chen and Ye Xuan had been dragged underwater and were swept away by the currents. Gudu Jun tried to chase after them, but the Golden Horn Silver Shark would never allow him to escape. It wouldn’t be easy to shake it off!

The Golden Horn Silver Shark was an overlord of the Underworld Blood Sea. It wouldn’t be easy to escape from its territory even for someone like Gudu Jun, who was at the Third Divine Martial Stage. He was indeed stronger, but this was the territory of the Golden Horn SIlver Shark, where its abilities are amplified, while Gudu Jun’s attacks would be weakened by the water.

Soon, Long Chen and Ye Xuan were too far for him to sense.

That’s fine. Ye Xuan has a minor leaf and I’m still holding onto the major leaf that the City Lord gave me. I can track him down later. I must kill the Golden Horn Silver Shark now so that I can survive and find him!

Indeed, before Gudu Jun left the city, City Lord Ye Xuan had given him a strange leaf, called the Seeker’s Leaf. There was the major leaf and the minor leaf. As long as the two were within ten thousand Li of each other, they would be able to track each other.

Gudu Jun was certain that he could track down Ye Xuan later.

But for now, he had to deal with the Golden Horn Silver Shark!

Gudu Jun prepared himself for battle.

***

Long Chen already expected what would happen when the surface of the sea exploded. Thanks to the Golden Horn Silver Shark’s influence, Long Chen was certain that neither of them would be able to endure the currents, so he made sure to hold onto Ye Xuan by all means.

“Grab my hand!”

Ye Xuan thought the same too. Both of them held onto each other tightly before they were swept away by the currents to an unknown part of the Underworld Blood Sea.

The immense current bruised them badly and they almost let go, but their survival instincts pulled them through and they held on tightly. An hour later, they were finally swept past the attack radius of the Golden Horn SIlver Shark and the currents died down. The immense water pressure squeezed them to the point that even Long Chen felt uncomfortable.

Both of them sighed in relief when they realized that they were alive.

This is the depths of the Underworld Blood Sea…

Long Chen looked around and saw nothing but pitch-black darkness. Still, he was standing on solid ground, so he was certain that he was on the bottom of the ocean.

To think that Gudu Jun was following us… Ye Xuan, however, was surprised about their chaperone.

“Grand Gudu will be fine. We were too rash and underestimated the Underworld Blood Sea. To think that it was so deadly… Never thought we would invite so much trouble from killing just a single Golden Horn Blood Shark. We should try to escape the Underworld Blood Sea and wait for Grandpa Gudu to come find us.”

Long Chen nodded in agreement. The two of them were about to leave when they saw a strange, glowing, red light.

“What is that?”

A strange fragrance filled the water around them. They followed the scent and felt their bodies relaxing.

Ye Xuan exclaimed in surprise, “Is that… a Demonic Blood Lotus?”

“What is that?”

“To think we would find something so rare here. We, the Ye family, have a secret treasure called the Red Lotus Jade Pendant. Apparently, it was formed by condensing a Demonic Blood Lotus. While there won’t be a second Red Lotus Jade Pendant, the Demonic Blood Lotus is still a Rank Two Divine-tier spiritual herb. An alchemist can refine its seed and produce incredible pills. I think its biggest benefit is in increasing the comprehension of a cultivator!”

Long Chen used Sight to confirm that they were alone within a single Li.

“Let’s check it out!”

The two of them swiftly swam over, but Ye Xuan frowned when they got close. “This one is dead and won’t have a seed anymore. Only the outer layer is left here. Still, I didn’t know the outer layer could produce such a fragrance.”

Long Chen, however, was intrigued. They stopped just above the Demonic Blood Lotus and noticed that the spiritual herb was round. It was tens of meters wide with blood-red petals. However, the central part of the flower had dried up. The precious seed was gone.

Ye Xuan sighed. “Let’s go. This thing is worthless now.”

“Wait.”

Long Chen noticed something interesting. In the middle of the flower was a cavity that resembled the shape of the Red Lotus Jade Pendant that City Lord Ye Xuan possessed!
