Chapter 2384: The Sea Tribe's Number One Beauty

A few women had come to this unknown era and world, already quite anxious, especially with the urgent need to resolve Ji Xiaoxi's innate Cursed Poison Holy Body. Zu An knew that if they learned they might not be able to return, they would inevitably fall into despair.

After all, they were still young, and some had not experienced much hardship. Suddenly encountering too much bad news would inevitably affect their state of mind.

Of course, Zu An knew that there was always a way out. Since he had managed to come to this era, there must also be a way to return to his original time; he simply needed to spend time finding a solution.

He put the Creation Treasure Box back into the Glazed Pearl and continued to fly rapidly towards the Sea Tribe.

Along the way, he felt the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Various massive mountain ranges visually exerted a natural sense of oppression; even while flying, he often saw enormous mountains soaring straight into the clouds.

From time to time, he caught glimpses of powerful, fierce beasts in the mountains, unlike anything seen in later generations. Zu An couldn't help but lament that if later generations had such abundant spiritual energy, the cultivation limit wouldn't merely be Earth Immortals.

Now, endless spiritual energy filled the meridians within his body, and Zu An felt his cultivation realm seemed to be rapidly increasing.

During this period, he had killed many powerful individuals, even recently slaying the mighty Demon Lord. Although the cultivation world had previously merged with the Underworld, it was still in its nascent stage, having just merged, and didn't allow him to improve his cultivation in a timely manner.

But this world was different now. The incredibly abundant spiritual energy naturally removed any such concerns. He distinctly felt his long-stagnant Level 79 experience bar growing rapidly; it had now reached the threshold of Level 80, just one step away from breaking through.

He had an indistinct feeling that this final step might not be so easy to take, requiring a special opportunity.

He took out a strange, tumor-covered orb: the Fetal Mother Worm Gall, obtained when he killed the Fetal Mother Demon Worm. It possessed a unique ability to accumulate power for techniques by killing beings stronger than oneself. His experiences in the demon world and the cultivation world during this period had allowed him to accumulate twelve layers of power.

However, until now, he hadn't had the chance to unleash the power accumulated within it. Even when facing the Demon Lord earlier, there was no need to use it. But in this inexplicably powerful world, he would likely have to use this item.

He put the Fetal Mother Worm Gall back into his embrace, feeling a renewed sense of confidence.

He continued flying eastward and soon entered the ocean's expanse.

He noticed that both the land he had previously crossed and the ocean he was now in were much vaster than the cultivation world he remembered.

It was even vaster than the cultivation world after it had merged with the Underworld.

What exactly had such a powerful world experienced to transform into the miserable state it would later become?

Zu An felt a faint unease in his heart, but for now, he couldn't dwell on it.

He searched for the Dragon Palace based on his memory of its location. Although the world had undergone tremendous changes, he could still generally find his way.

Seeing the numerous scattered islands along the way, and some unique small towns on them, he couldn't help but recall various moments from his first encounter with Shang Hongyu.

She truly was a beautiful and passionate woman!

A warm smile appeared on his face, and then he plunged into the ocean.

Now that he possessed the Crown of the Sea God, granting him control over water and its creatures, entering the Dragon Palace was naturally no longer as difficult as before.

Meanwhile, in the Dragon Palace, the tall and majestic Dragon King had just smilingly seen off a group of guests when a subordinate quickly reported, "Your Majesty, the Mermaid Queen requests an audience."

The Dragon King was instantly delighted. He hurriedly straightened his robes and took out a seashell mirror to check his appearance. "Quickly, invite her in!" he exclaimed.

There were countless races in the ocean, but the most powerful undoubtedly belonged to the Dragon Tribe.

But if one spoke of the most beautiful, none could surpass the Mermaid Tribe. Almost every mermaid possessed a beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, and powerful individuals from both the Demon Tribe and the Fiend Tribe considered it an honor to marry a mermaid.

However, the Mermaid Tribe almost never married outside their own race, so how could it ever be the turn of those foreign races?

And among the many stunningly beautiful mermaids, the Mermaid Queen was widely considered the foremost beauty. Any man who had ever seen her, even just a glimpse, would be haunted by her exquisite beauty.

Even women would be captivated by her allure.

Precisely because of this, she had become the object of pursuit for powerful individuals across the entire world. For instance, the once arrogant Demon Emperor had openly declared himself her admirer.

Of course, there was also him, the Dragon King, the Sea Tribe's most powerful expert, who had likewise pursued her for many years.

However, although this woman was kind to everyone, she had never shown any special favor to anyone.

Many even began to speculate if she didn't like men.

The Dragon King sneered inwardly. The Mermaid Queen was the epitome of womanhood; how could she not like men?

It was just that her standards were too high, and few men in the world could truly catch her eye.

Fortunately, the Demon Emperor was now dead, and he himself was also from the Sea Tribe. With the advantage of proximity, he feared that ultimately only he would be able to win the beauty's heart.

Just then, a celestial melody, accompanied by the tinkling of jade ornaments, resonated. A peerless beauty slowly walked in, and the entire palace seemed to brighten. Both attendants and palace maids stared entranced at the grand entrance. Countless words of awe surged in their hearts, but in the end, not a single person dared to utter a sound, fearing they would desecrate the Sea Tribe's most beautiful woman.

A flowing sea-blue gown outlined her extraordinary figure with breathtaking beauty. Her waist, so slender it seemed one could grasp it with a hand, combined with the curve of her hips, which seemed etched by divine patterns, made her casual walk the most beautiful sight in the world.

She wore no shoes, and no shoes in the world were worthy of enclosing such a perfect pair of feet.

With each step of her snow-white, jade-like feet, a ripple of water appeared beneath them, gradually leaving behind the shape of lotus flowers in her wake.

It was truly a dance of grace, with lotus flowers blossoming with every step.

Although it wasn't the first time he had seen her, the Dragon King still felt his heart sway. This woman was truly too beautiful.

From head to toe, every part of her was beautiful. His gaze fell upon her chest, and even with his robust physique and thick skin, he felt as though blood was about to gush from his nostrils.

Her blue gown was formed from refined scales, clinging exceptionally to her body. It perfectly embraced the curves of her bosom, revealing her exquisite collarbones and a deep cleavage that would mesmerize anyone.

If such an attire were worn by an ordinary woman, it would appear overly sensuous and alluring, but on her, it conveyed only purity and natural perfection.

Regardless of whether it was the Demon Tribe or the Sea Tribe, their clothing styles were inherently daring, but there was likely no one else who could combine boldness and elegance as perfectly as she did.

"Greetings, Dragon King!" the Mermaid Queen said, performing a shallow bow, showing normal respect to the Sea Tribe's most powerful individual.

Her voice was clear and cool, with a hint of gentle allure. Many palace maids in the hall felt their bodies go numb with enchantment, each filled with envy. They thought, if only they possessed such a melodious voice, it alone would be enough to make all the guards in the Dragon Palace go through fire and water for them.

"Queen, there's no need for such formality," the Dragon King said, hastily moving to assist her.

However, the Mermaid Queen straightened up beforehand, not giving him the chance to touch her arm.

The Dragon King awkwardly retracted his hand. "May I ask, Queen, what brings you here today?"

"Dragon King, have you just met with an envoy from the demon realms?" the Mermaid Queen asked, gazing at him with sharp eyes.
