At that moment, Ye Kai suddenly spoke up, "Wait!"
The movements of the Golden Core Demon Cultivators froze in unison. The Heartless Real Person's eyes shifted, and he immediately said, "What, have you changed your mind? Smart choice; it's still not too late to hand it over."
As he spoke, he subtly hinted to the others, while the Mouse Demon Elder displayed an expression of insatiable greed, resembling a rat that had just found a stash of oil.
"The Seal is indeed in my possession."
"I also have quite a few Nine Elements Containing Radiance Roads. What I'm curious about is how you all found out?"
Not only were they preparing in secret, but Ye Kai also signaled to WIKI that if this group of Demon Cultivators dared to reach out, they should be dealt with immediately.
Moreover, with the Myriad Battle Robots and various advanced weapons, along with hundreds of flying vessels at his disposal, he truly had no fear of these Demon Cultivators. Besides, the recent barrage of firepower was merely meant to disorient them.
To be honest, whether it was the Seal or the Nine Elements Containing Radiance Road in hand, it was all just to keep them steady. After all, they were Golden Core Stage Demon Cultivators; if they were determined to flee, there was indeed a slight possibility.
What intrigued him now was how these people had managed to find him here.
"I don't mind telling you."
As if recalling something, the Heartless Real Person perked up instantly, revealing a teasing smirk reminiscent of a cat playing with a mouse.
He wasn't in a hurry to act; his gaze swept over the White Jade Pavilion Ship and the hundreds of flying vessels. "My subordinates once saw Spatial Distortion and Chaotic Mist on Lanyu Island, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder. If someone were to Transcend Tribulation, it wouldn't be impossible. But then news spread across the Boundless Sea that someone obtained the Seal and entered the Creation Immortal Manor, acquiring the Nine Essence Dew!"
"I may not have other skills, but my nose is sharper than yours. You carry a very peculiar scent. Aside from Nine Essence Dew, I can't think of anything else."
As he said this, his eyes narrowed with a sly grin. "Or perhaps you have other treasures on you?"
"Heartless Brother, did you really acquire many treasures from the Creation Immortal Manor?"
"Hiss!!! The Seal must be obtained."
"Child, hand over the treasure in your possession. Otherwise, I, the Real Person, will make you wish you were dead!"
"Yes, yes, hand it over!"
At this point, the greed in the eyes of the Demon Cultivators grew ever more intense, as if they could barely contain themselves from pouncing at any moment.
"Creation Immortal Manor?"
"What Seal can enter the Creation Immortal Manor?"
Ye Kai was left puzzled, but he recalled that although he didn't have any 'Seal' in hand, he did possess two keys that could grant access to the Infinite World.
Could it be that this Seal is similar to the Nightmare Mark and the Infinite Key, allowing entry into the ‘Creation Immortal Manor’?
However, he truly had nothing to offer, as the Large Forbidden Light Barrier had quietly activated.
"Some people just never learn. Whatever tricks you have up your sleeve, bring them out; I’m waiting."
After taking a moment to resolve a flicker of doubt in his mind, Ye Kai lost interest in idle chatter and became increasingly eager for the information to come. It seemed that from the moment he appeared, he had been caught in a large web of conspiracy.
The thick scent of intrigue was impossible to mask.
"Good child, daring to toy with me, the Real Person, prepare to die."
The Heartless Old Monster roared angrily, his small green bean-sized eyes suddenly flashing with green light as he emitted a series of piercing howls, as if calling upon something.
Bang! Bang! Bang! In an instant, countless Specters from the depths of the sea and swarms of Sea Urchins surged forth in response to those cries, their rush creating a deafening roar that filled the air.
"Idiot!"
Ye Kai waved his hand, signaling WIKI to take action. With her involvement, as long as the opponent wasn't too formidable, everything would be manageable.
"Light-Restricting Barrier, activate!"
With a hum, a transparent sphere of light suddenly enveloped the area above the Sea Surface for ten miles. From the outside, everything within the transparent sphere appeared calm and serene, devoid of any Sirens or Specters.
However, anyone who entered would be immediately terrified by the frenzied appearances of countless Specters and Sea Mice, along with Sea Dogs.
Aircraft broke through the Sea Surface and slowly ascended into the sky. At the same time, Ye Kai and WIKI aboard the White Jade Pavilion Ship began to withdraw.
At this moment, the Demon Cultivators were too preoccupied to notice anything else. In their perception, it felt as if the entire space had vanished in an instant. After nightfall, an unprecedented sense of crisis constantly stimulated their nerves.
Among the throngs of Sea Mice and Specters, the Heartless Old Monster was not idle. Spell Formulas danced in his hands as he summoned the White Bone Phantom Banner behind him. From it emerged a jade skeleton that floated in the air as if being toyed with.
"You dare to plot against this Real Person? Let me show you my Divine Ability!"
"White Bone Phantom Banner, Jade Ghost King, arise!"
At this moment, Spiritual Energy should have surged forth; however, with the black curtain descending, the Heartless Old Monster could only resentfully channel his own power into the White Bone Phantom Banner.
The area echoed with the frenzied wails of countless wronged Specters. Blood from a group of Sea Urchins flew up in bursts and quickly coalesced into the jade skeleton. In an instant, a chilling laughter erupted.
The jade skeleton transformed into an enormous shadowy figure, exuding endless eerie energy and deathly aura.
This illusory Jade Ghost King laughed joyfully, appearing vastly different from what Ye Kai knew of ghost kings. Not only was it colossal in size, but it also seemed both real and illusory, lacking any semblance of ferocity.
In stark contrast to ordinary ghosts' malevolence and despair, it exuded a bizarre sense of cunning more treacherous than a jackal and more brutal than a wolf.
In mid-air, its massive mouth opened wide as if to swallow everything. With each breath, gusts of wind surged as if a hurricane were forming over the sea. Embedded on its forehead was none other than that jade skeleton.
"Eh, this is... this old man actually has some skills."
Ye Kai noticed that after the Jade Ghost King opened its mouth, a deep swirling vortex appeared within. One by one, Specters screamed as they were swallowed, and from that vortex emerged a pitch-black glowing orb.
This was simply a gathering cannon!
"Suppress!"
With an emotionless command, countless stars suddenly lit up within the Light-Restricting Barrier. Each star ignited into a blazing flame, transforming into a meteor shower that rained down, enveloping all Sea Beasts and Sirens in an immense aura.
In an instant, just as the Ghost King's cannon fired, it was struck by a meteor burning with intense flames. The gathered Specter attack shattered with a thunderous explosion, crashing onto the Sea Surface and sending towering waves splashing up.
The Heartless Old Monster was filled with disbelief and shock.
Immediately following this, not only he but also other Demon Cultivators and countless Sea Mice and Sea Dogs let out desperate wails.
Countless flaming meteors fell relentlessly, and in an instant, everything was obliterated.
