Feeling the threat of death, Nightfall’s face changed dramatically. Blood-colored corpse energy surged from his body, constantly impacting the space barrier around him.
Soon, Nightfall could move his body, but he was unable to dodge the giant claw coming down on him.
This scene made the Cultivators around the small lake worry for him.
No matter what, Nightfall was a human Cultivator, while the opponent was a Sea Demonkin.
If Nightfall were to be killed by the Sea Serpent King in front of the human Cultivators, it would be a great shame for them.
Quinn, who had been silent, summoned his golden ape. Leo and the other prodigies also prepared to take action.
Regardless of the relationships between the four great dynasties and the human Cultivators, they would unite against a greater external threat.
However, an elderly figure was even faster.
Above the alchemy furnace, Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign took a step forward. His figure seemed to penetrate the void and instantly appeared beside Nightfall.
Facing the descending blue giant claw, a sea-blue flame surged from Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s remnant soul, transforming into a giant sea-blue flaming fist that struck the blue giant claw.
In the clash between the sea-blue flame and the giant claw, the blue giant claw shattered into countless water droplets, which were then evaporated into nothingness by the heat of the flame.
“Thank you, Sir.” After being saved, Nightfall thanked Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign. He felt an immense weight in his heart, having truly tasted the feeling of death just moments ago.
Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s remnant soul did not look at Nightfall but instead stared solemnly at the Sea Serpent King in mid-air. “Sea Serpent King, how dare you act so recklessly on my island!?”
The Sea Serpent King squinted at Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s remnant soul and sneered, “You are merely a remnant soul of Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign. Trying to scare me is far from enough! I am here for the Sacred Golden Elixir and Nether Flame. If you don’t want to disappear completely, don’t meddle in my affairs! Lastly, none of the human Cultivators here will leave this island alive!”
The faces of the Cultivators present changed drastically, showing fear and anger.
The Cultivators who came to the island were almost all Spirit Saint-level experts. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that most of the Spirit Saint-level experts from the four great dynasties were here.
The Sea Serpent King wanted to kill everyone here; such arrogance was beyond belief.
“Sea Serpent King, do you know we humans have a saying: ‘A fool’s dream’?” Freddy’s face was gloomy as he mocked coldly.
The Sea Serpent King laughed coldly. “You will soon know if it’s a fool’s dream. After killing all of you and stepping into the Demon Saint Realm, it will mark the beginning of your dynasties becoming slaves! Enslaving humans to plant Spirit Herbs, refine elixirs, and craft spiritual weapons will be quite an interesting scene.”
Upon hearing this, the four Sea Demonkin leaders behind the Sea Serpent King had glints in their eyes.
The Sea Serpent King intended to enslave human dynasties!?
The faces of the Cultivators present turned extremely ugly.
“With just you lot? You don’t even know your own weight!”
“Sea Serpent King, keep dreaming!”
The Cultivators began to mock and attack verbally.
Although humans’ physical bodies and lifespans were not as strong as those of Sea Demonkin and beasts, their wisdom was unparalleled. Thus, humans had the most prominent presence on Awakened Continent.
The prodigies on the central stone platform felt heavy-hearted because they knew that if the Sea Serpent King consumed the Sacred Golden Elixir and broke through to the Demon Saint Realm, he might indeed have that power.
From the Sea Serpent King’s earlier actions, his mastery over spatial power was evident. He had one foot already in the Demon Saint Realm.
Moreover, with his ancient dragon bloodline, consuming just one Sacred Golden Elixir might allow him to break through to the Demon Saint Realm.
In contrast, none of the nearby dynasties around Star Moon Lake had Spirit God-level experts. They might indeed be enslaved by the Sea Serpent King.
“It seems I must leave you here today,” said Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s remnant soul, his eyes burning with determination as sea-blue flames surged from his body.
As Ancient Tyrant Pill Sovereign’s remnant soul’s aura erupted, on the central stone platform, Cyrus, Noah Shadow, Salvador, Frida, Windsor, Freddy, Landon, along with Leo, Seraphina, and Ethan-all twenty-five prodigies from the four great dynasties-unleashed their auras.
Then, all twenty-five of them rose into mid-air.
Around the small lake, nearly two thousand Cultivators also unleashed their auras.
Concerned about their dynasties’ safety, they united despite any previous grudges.
“Heh, do you think you can outnumber us Sea Demonkin?” The Sea Serpent King’s handsome face remained unchanged as he spoke mockingly.
“Ridiculous humans,” scoffed Venomous Octopus Clan’s leader disdainfully.
“Lord Dragon King, by now, our various clans should be arriving soon,” said Whale Sky, leader of the black-and-white killer whales, with a smile on his round face.
Shortly after Whale Sky spoke, from seven or eight directions in the distant sky, dozens of streaks of light shot towards them in panic.
The Cultivators looked up.
The panicked arrivals were all human Cultivators, mostly high-level Spirit Saints.
Knowing they couldn’t compete for opportunities within Pill Sovereign Palace, they sought fortunes elsewhere on Pill Sovereign Island.
Now their faces were pale as if they had seen something terrifying.
Upon reaching the central hall and seeing so many human Cultivators, their panic slightly subsided.
Among the dozen or so arrivals, three were covered in bloodstains.
One was in particularly bad shape; most of his arm was severed and there was a bloody hole in his chest that wouldn’t stop bleeding.
“Charlie, what happened?” A high-level Spirit Saint elder in a green robe from outside the small lake saw the injured youth and rushed over to ask.
This young man named Charlie was a genius of their Kay Wind Sect. Despite his youth, he had reached high-level Spirit Saint peak realm.
“Grand Elder, it’s bad. Sea demons! I encountered many sea demons and barely escaped!” Despite his panic, Charlie maintained his composure and recounted his experience.
After hearing Charlie’s story, the green-robed elder’s face changed dramatically.
“Patriarch, I also saw many sea demons entering the island…” The dozen or so pale-faced Cultivators reported to their sects and family elders after calming down slightly.
Just over ten seconds after these Cultivators arrived, hundreds more streaks of light fled towards them from different directions above the central hall.
