Chapter 1695: 妖兽尸骸和空间节点

Meanwhile, a white light suddenly illuminated above the black whale's head. A gleaming white ring, the spiritual treasure known as the Ice Moon Ring, appeared. This treasure had belonged to Zhao Junyue, but after her death, it came into Wang Changsheng's possession.

Countless white runes emerged on the surface of the Ice Moon Ring, causing its size to abruptly expand to a diameter of over ten miles, transforming it into an enormous white ring.

Cold winds began to swirl as the Ice Moon Ring rapidly spun high in the sky, generating a powerful airflow. A white tornado, composed of countless white snowflakes, materialized out of thin air. Like a spatial black hole, it swallowed everything, sweeping across the heavens and earth.

As countless white snowflakes drifted down from above, the temperature plummeted abruptly, causing the sea within a radius of over ten miles to freeze at a visible rate.

Before the black whale could regain consciousness, it was frozen solid, transforming into a massive ice sculpture.

The Ice Moon Ring's size suddenly diminished, turning into a streak of white light. It flew directly towards the Profound Water Palace, landing in Wang Changsheng's hand.

The Profound Water Palace transformed into a blue escape light and shot through the air, covering vast distances in an instant.

RUMBLE!

A deafening roar echoed as the ice shattered into pieces, and the black whale broke free.

Its figure blurred, then suddenly vanished, leaving only an afterimage. It was a Water Escape technique.

The next moment, faint blue lights suddenly emerged in the void in front of the Profound Water Palace, coalescing into a massive black whale. It was indeed that black whale.

When Wang Changsheng had previously evaded the pursuit of the Golden Moon Sword Venerable, he could control the Profound Water Palace to hide in the seabed. However, facing a fifth-tier demonic beast proficient in Water Escape techniques, he could not dive into the seabed to escape; he could only flee towards the high sky. Their advantage was being able to launch spiritual sense attacks to buy time. Beyond that, their only reliance was the Profound Water Palace.

Even a complete set of flying sword spiritual treasures could not destroy the Profound Water Palace, and a fifth-tier demonic beast likely couldn't either.

The black whale let out a roar, and a powerful suction force materialized out of thin air, pulling the Profound Water Palace towards the black whale's mouth.

A flurry of zither music rang out, and a wave of misty green sound swept forth, striking the black whale.

The black whale became disoriented. Seizing this opportunity, the Profound Water Palace transformed into a blue escape light and shot through the air.

As the black whale attempted to pursue, a piercing saber hum rang out. A blue saber light, over a thousand zhang long, slashed towards it. Wherever the blue saber light passed, the sea parted, and the void trembled.

It felt the astonishing momentum of the blue saber light, daring not to be careless. Before it could evade, an unbearable sharp pain surged through its sea of consciousness, which felt as if it were about to collapse.

The black whale let out painful roars. The sea churned violently, raising colossal waves over a thousand zhang high, and continuous roars echoed.

The blue saber light struck its body, leaving a shallow bloody mark. A wave of misty green sound followed closely, sweeping past the black whale's body.

RUMBLE!

The seawater within a radius of over ten miles exploded, and monstrous waves surged.

After a while, the black whale regained consciousness, transforming into a black escape light, and resumed its pursuit.

Wang Changsheng controlled the Profound Water Palace to fly rapidly as Wang Ruyan's fingers swept across the Heavenly Illusion Pipa, and melodic pipa sounds rang out.

Wang Ruyan temporarily possessed the magical power of the Soul Transformation stage. Even with the help of the spiritual treasure Heavenly Illusion Pipa, it was not easy to make a fifth-tier demonic beast fall into an illusion, so she needed some time.

After all, the Profound Water Palace was not a flying spiritual treasure; no matter how fast it was, it couldn't outpace a fifth-tier demonic beast.

After a short while, the fifth-tier demonic beast caught up.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a thick black beam of light shot forth, accurately striking the Profound Water Palace.

The Profound Water Palace was sent flying backward, but its surface showed no damage.

With a loud crash, the Profound Water Palace landed on a barren island over a hundred miles wide, smashing several mountain peaks and sending dust flying everywhere.

Countless blue runes lit up on the surface of the Profound Water Palace. Its size expanded dramatically, transforming into a massive palace over a hundred zhang tall.

Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood at the entrance of the Profound Water Palace, which was shielded by a pale blue water curtain.

Wang Changsheng's face was pale, and Wang Ruyan was drenched in sweat.

They couldn't outrun the fifth-tier demonic beast and could only rely on the Profound Water Palace's powerful defense to resist it. The rest depended on Wang Ruyan.

The black whale flew in from a distance, its massive body crashing into the Profound Water Palace.

RUMBLE!

A tremendous roar erupted as more than half of the Profound Water Palace sank into the ground, sending dust flying everywhere.

The black whale was about to employ other methods when its vision blurred, and it suddenly found itself in the dark seabed.

Not far ahead, there was a gigantic demonic beast skeleton. The black whale was already quite large, yet it was less than one percent the size of this skeleton, indicating its immense scale—comparable to a medium-sized island.

The surface of this demonic beast skeleton shimmered with colorful electrical arcs, and its bones were covered in mysterious patterns, resembling a natural lightning field. Flashes of lightning continuously streaked across the sky, striking the demonic beast skeleton.

RUMBLE!

A tremendous thunderclap rang out, and a large swarm of colorful lightning bolts shot out from the demonic beast skeleton, heading directly towards the black whale.

The black whale's eyes were filled with terror, and it immediately turned and fled.

The Profound Water Palace rapidly flew towards the high sky. The black whale lay sprawled on the barren island, its expression terrified, clearly having fallen into an illusion.

With the help of the spiritual treasure Heavenly Illusion Pipa, Wang Ruyan successfully made the fifth-tier demonic beast fall into an illusion. This didn't indicate a weakness in her power; she was, after all, not a true Soul Transformation cultivator, merely possessing magical power at the initial level of that stage. If she were a genuine Soul Transformation cultivator, it wouldn't have taken her long to trap a fifth-tier demonic beast in an illusion.

After a short while, the black whale regained consciousness. By then, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were already tens of thousands of miles away.

"Damn it, an illusion technique! It actually made me appear there."

The black whale spoke in human tongue, its expression grave. Judging by its tone, "there" seemed to be a very dangerous place.

It transformed into a black escape light and shot through the air, continuing to pursue Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Across a boundless black sea, the Profound Water Palace rapidly swept across the high sky. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan stood at the palace entrance, their faces pale.

"This area of space seems unstable; it's like a spatial node," Wang Ruyan said with a frown.

Wang Changsheng looked up at the high sky, seeing faint black lines in the void, appearing and disappearing. With his spiritual sense fully activated, he could perceive some faint spatial fluctuations.

"Is there really a spatial node leading to other realms here?" Wang Changsheng said with some uncertainty, his brows tightly furrowed.

A spatial node might lead to other realms, or it could be a dead spirit space. Without great divine abilities or unique treasures, it was impossible to break open a spatial node.

"To repeatedly toy with this venerable one? You don't deserve the treasure," an angry male voice suddenly rang out as the black whale caught up.

It let out a roar, and the sea churned violently as strong winds arose. Soon, a massive vortex with a diameter of a hundred miles appeared on the sea surface. A powerful attractive force materialized out of thin air, causing the Profound Water Palace to sway precariously and slowly descend towards the black vortex.

Wang Changsheng brandished the Seven-Star Demon Slaying Saber and slashed at the black vortex below. A piercing saber hum rang out, and a blue saber light, ten thousand zhang long, shot forth with overwhelming force, heading directly towards the black vortex. However, the blue saber light merely plunged into the black vortex, only stirring up a few ripples.

Seizing this opportunity, the Profound Water Palace's escape light brightened considerably, and it soared towards the high sky at an exceptionally fast speed.

The black whale's voice held no emotion. "So, you want to run to the sky? Then I'll send you to the sky."

The black vortex suddenly erupted with an immensely thick black water pillar, accurately striking the Profound Water Palace.

Inside the Profound Water Palace, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan became disoriented as the palace was swept into the black water pillar, spinning rapidly and heading directly towards the spatial node.

With a tremendous boom, a spatial node abruptly tore open a huge rift. The void trembled, twisting and deformng, and a dazzling white light shone from the opening. The Profound Water Palace was propelled into the rift by the black water pillar. Not long after, the spatial node abruptly burst apart.

"Unless it's a Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure of the defensive type, it won't be able to withstand the spatial storm," the black whale said coldly. Its massive body then submerged into the seabed and vanished.
