Eternal Bonds: A Journey with the Fated Immortal

Chapter 119

Chapter 119

The blood and qi of living beings were, in themselves, a special kind of “material.” Some demonic cultivators and powerful beings of other races could consume the blood and qi of living beings to enhance their cultivation.

Even human cultivators could improve their cultivation by consuming the flesh and blood of fierce beasts and ancient species.

However, it was extremely rare for beings like the Sea Tribe Great Saints to devour the living beings of an entire continent. Such actions were strictly forbidden by human powerhouses.

Once large-scale slaughter occurred, powerhouses from the Imperial Court, and even Quasi-Emperors, would be dispatched to suppress and capture the perpetrators.

Therefore, opportunities for large-scale devouring of living beings were very rare. Typically, they could only consume a few or act in secret.

“Hahaha! This continent seems to have one or two Great Saints. I sense many powerful auras, all of them were human powerhouses. Truly delicious!”

A massive sea fish soared into the sky, its body a fiery red, surrounded by terrifying divine flames that turned the surrounding sea into a fiery red, resembling a sea of magma.

It laughed heartily.

This was a Fire Flame Fish, a powerful race within the Sea Tribe, with a Quasi-Emperor overseeing them.

It was the top powerhouse of this race, known as the Divine Flame Great Saint, reigning supreme over a vast sea region.

“Not only that, I also sensed the aura of the dragon girl, the Holy Maiden of the Sea God Palace. She not only didn’t leave this continent but also didn’t conceal her aura. It seems her luck is terrible; the one who came to rescue her is a fool!”

Another colossal creature soared into the sky, a Black Tortoise with powerful bloodlines, possessing some of the blood of the Xuanwu* clan. It also spoke with a cold sneer.

(TN: Black Tortoise.)

“Right, His Highness also wants to kill that Su Changsheng. It seems it was requested by the eldest prince of the Eternal Imperial Court. The target appears to be a Saint of this continent as well?”

“Hahaha! That’s perfect. Later, we can easily take his head, and perhaps even receive a reward from the eldest prince!”

“The eldest prince has already decided to support His Highness in becoming the ruler of the Three Thousand Sea God Domains. At that time, we, as those who have contributed, might even become Quasi-Emperors!”

These Sea Tribe Great Saints spoke one after another.

“Alright, let’s not waste any more time. Let’s submerge this entire continent, kill the dragon girl and Su Changsheng, and devour this continent. Then we’ll move on to the other continents!”

The blue-haired man from earlier spoke with authority.

Boom!

In the next instant, the several Great Saints took action one after another. The vast aura of the Great Saints erupted, and the surging ocean waves roared, spreading towards the entire True Saint Continent at an astonishing speed.

In no time, the entire continent would be submerged.

……

Just as the several Great Saints were about to take action, on the other side, within Wanxiang City, Su Changsheng raised his eyes, sensing the commotion here.

Or rather, he had vaguely sensed it earlier, but had been distracted by other matters.

Now that the matters were settled, he finally realized it.

Great Saint powerhouses had descended, and there were several of them, exuding a menacing aura.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

At this moment, a violent coughing sound came from the bed. The dragon girl, her face pale, woke up with a dry cough. Her aura was circulating much better than before.

The reason Su Changsheng was distracted was because he was treating the dragon girl’s injuries.

He initially thought it was just a simple severe injury, but when he actually started treating her, Su Changsheng realized that her injuries were far from simple. They were true Dao injuries, severe enough to tear her primordial spirit.

If delayed, the dragon girl would be crippled in the future, and recovery would be extremely difficult.

Therefore, Su Changsheng immediately treated her injuries, using divine items obtained from the Azure Emperor, such as top-tier ancient sacred medicines and even a semi-divine herb.

Along with other divine items, he used up nearly half of them just to barely repair most of her Dao injuries.

“I… I’m still alive?”

The dragon girl opened her eyes in a daze, her consciousness still lingering at the moment she fell unconscious.

Given her injuries and condition, she should be on the brink of death, if not already dead.

Why did she feel relatively fine?

“Wait…”

As soon as she thought of her perilous situation, the dragon girl felt a chill in her heart, thinking she had been captured. She was about to unleash her power to escape.

But in the next second, an overwhelming force, far beyond her comprehension, pressed down on her.

“Wait a moment. I saved you. You’re safe now. As for the situation, stay here. I’ll explain everything after I handle some matters.”

Su Changsheng’s voice came through, his tone calm but with a hint of coldness.

His coldness was not directed at the dragon girl, but at the several Sea Tribe Great Saints. Through his divine sense, he had seen everything.

Three billion lives were extinguished.

Even with Su Changsheng’s temperament, a surge of intense anger rose within him.

These Sea Tribe Great Saints must die.

“Who are you?!”

The dragon girl was shocked. Such immense power completely surpassed the Great Saint realm.

Could it be a Quasi-Emperor?

But why didn’t she sense the pressure of a Quasi-Emperor?

Boom!

Before the dragon girl could regain her composure, Su Changsheng’s figure had already disappeared, leaving the dragon girl somewhat bewildered in the wind.

What was going on?

Wasn’t anyone going to explain things to her in detail?

“If you are very confused, I can explain it to you and also tell you the price you will have to pay!”

At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the door. Gu Qingge walked in, her face still somewhat youthful and not fully mature, yet her exquisite features exuded an air of authority.

“What… what price?”

Seeing Gu Qingge, the dragon girl instinctively shrank back, a trace of fear appearing on her small face. It was as if she remembered a familiar figure, but quickly realized it wasn’t that person. Gathering her courage, she asked.

“The price is you!”

“Me?!”

“Yes, it’s you. You are the price!” Gu Qingge said with a cold smile.

Her smile was somewhat chilling, causing the dragon girl to instinctively shiver.

Her current situation seemed rather dire. Why did it feel like she had just escaped the wolf’s den, only to enter the tiger’s lair?

Could it be that they wanted to eat her?

She had heard that humans were very skilled in refining tools and alchemy. Were they planning to skin her and extract her tendons, then use them for refining tools or alchemy?

Boom!

On the other side, Su Changsheng tore through the void, walking leisurely in the vast spatial passage, traversing countless miles in an instant.

A Saint-level powerhouse could tear through space and move in higher dimensions, covering millions of miles in the blink of an eye.

Therefore, even though the True Saint Continent was vast, for Su Changsheng, it was merely a step or two. He arrived quickly.

Before moving forward, he also used his divine sense to perceive the situation in that region, his expression turning cold.

Three billion miles of land turned into a swamp, with shattered earth and buildings everywhere, and countless bloodstains dyeing the sea red.

In addition, he overheard the conversations of several Great Saints, who were brazenly planning to use the living beings of the True Saint Continent as their blood food.

His Highness? The eldest prince?

Su Changsheng’s eyes flickered as he quickly understood the situation. These were the opponents of the Ninth Princess?

This eldest prince must be the one who set up the ambush to kill the Ninth Princess, but his plans were thwarted by Su Changsheng, so now the target was him.

As for His Highness, he must be the dragon girl’s enemy, and incidentally, he wanted to kill Su Changsheng as well.

Good, the identities of the enemies were now clear.

Next, it was time to collect some interest.

Boom!

Soon, the void shattered, and a domain gate appeared. Su Changsheng stepped out from it, descending in front of the several Sea Tribe Great Saints, his vast aura spreading.

Dressed in a robe adorned with stars, his celestial presence was unparalleled, like an immortal king from the Immortal Realm. Every movement he made was imbued with boundless Dao charm.

Truly peerless in elegance.

“Hmm? A Great Saint!”

“Hahaha! it seems we have a righteous Great Saint who disapproves of our actions!”

“A human powerhouse, hmm, the flesh and blood of a human Great Saint are the most delicious, containing immense energy and Dao principles. It’s just a pity there are so few of them, not enough to share!”

The Sea Tribe Great Saints were initially stunned, and the divine powers they were about to unleash to submerge the entire continent were dispersed by Su Changsheng’s aura. However, they didn’t mind and instead burst into laughter.

They sensed Su Changsheng’s cultivation level, which was merely at the Sixth Heaven of the Great Saint realm.
