Chapter 1203: Chiefs of the Black Sea

The power of one black fish was limited, but that of millions of black fish was frightening.

The venomous arrows the black fish were shooting out from their mouths would destroy the shields of even the strongest sea demons. They would be poisoned and killed slowly. In three days, Jiang Yi killed more than ten demon sovereigns in the Black Sea with the help of the black fish.

After three days, Jiang Yi also learned a lot about the Black Sea. The scariest things in the Black Sea were not the demons but the poisonous fog! The black fog released in the Black Sea from time to time was the scariest of all. It appeared without any sound and while nobody was expecting it, thus killing silently.

It was a good thing that they had Jiang Xiaonu with them; otherwise, Jiang Yi and Little Fox would have been poisoned by then. The Ink Feather Race’s senses were very sensitive, and they moved very quickly. What’s more, Jiang Xiaonu could remain in her transformed state for a long time. For ten days and nights in a row, she remained in her transformed state without weakening.

“Young Master, a big guy is headed our way!”

In the afternoon, Jiang Xiaonu’s beautiful eyes suddenly hardened. Xiao Fei felt a strong demonic aura and writhed in Jiang Yi’s arms uncomfortably. Jiang Yi summoned his Fire Dragon Sword and handed Xiao Fei over to Xiaonu. “Protect her. I’m going to try fighting this demon sovereign. Let’s see how my Divinity Slayer works after my breakthrough.”

“Alright, be careful, Young Master.”

Jiang Xiaonu carried Xiao Fei up into the air. Jiang Yi remained on top of the mountain of black fish, his eyes narrowing as he waited for the demon sovereign to appear.

Huhu~

He heard the sound of the wind howling from a distance. Black gas shot upward. The demon sovereign was still more than ten kilometers away, but gray clouds were already filling the sky. Jiang Yi was squinting as hard as he could to see the demon sovereign. No matter how good this demon sovereign’s battle skills were, he was sure that it was at least very poisonous. He shouted, “Xiaonu, move back five kilometers. Xiao Fei, try to control the black fish to attack this demon sovereign.”

Xiaonu’s dark green wings paused for a second. In a flash, she retreated. Xiao Fei’s body lit up with a red glow, activating all the black fish. They turned into black arrows that shot towards the sky. Before they even got close to the demon sovereign, they released their poisonous black arrows.

Yet, the poisonous arrows seemed to disappear into the black clouds, like mud going into the sea. There was not even a hint of impact. As the clouds got closer and closer, Jiang Yi jumped up into the sky. He looked down as the black fish charged toward it.

“These black clouds are so strange. Why can’t my divine senses see past them?”

Jiang Yi’s expression hardened. He activated his Dragon Flame Divine Shield and caused the Mystic Divine Armor to wrap around his body. His Fire Dragon Sword lit up as well. He did not know what kind of threat he was dealing with so he had to be ready to go all out.

Tsk! Tsk!

The black clouds in front kept rolling toward him at a terrifying speed. When it arrived three hundred meters away from him, it retreated back again. Jiang Yi’s expression flickered. The fish that entered the black clouds were reduced to their bones almost immediately. Without having time to even cry out in pain, every single one of them died. The bones they left behind were black.

“This fog is so poisonous!”

Jiang Yi decided to make the first move. He raised his hand and summoned tens of thousands of fire dragons. At the same time, he summoned endless astral winds to charge in front of him. He did not congeal them into Astral Wind Blades, however. He wanted to send the winds forward to test the situation before deciding what to do next.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Fire Dragons were quite powerful. As they entered the black clouds, they exploded and caused some of them to dissipate. Once the astral winds reached the black clouds, however, they lost their effect. Nonetheless, through the connection that Jiang Yi had with his astral winds, he could sense what the demon in the black clouds was like.

It was quite an amazing demonic beast. It was about a hundred and fifty meters in length and looked just like a snake. Yet, it had nine heads and eight legs below its body. There were thorns on its back, and each side of its body sprouted wings. What amazed Jiang Yi even more was that the poisonous fog was not coming out from any of the beast’s nine heads. Instead, it was coming out from the thorns on its back.

“This demon sovereign is not that strong. Its poisonous fog is, though!”

Jiang Yi finally knew what he was dealing with. There was not much time left for him to prepare. His Fire Dragon Sword began dancing around in the air, activating the winds and clouds within a hundred-kilometer radius. The divine lightning struck down from the Nine Heavens, and huge waves began to appear in the sea below. All the heaven and earth essence force within a hundred-kilometer radius gathered into Jiang Yi’s body as his Fire Dragon Sword exuded a blinding light. Once he had gathered enough power, he struck down in front of him and shouted, “Divinity Slayer!”

Tsk! Tsk!

Three Fire Dragons shot out of the sword, this time looking much more powerful than before. Their bodies were made out of molten lava, and now they looked even more like True Dragons. The black fish below became motionless due to the Fire Dragons’ suppressive force. The demon sovereign became afraid. It quickly turned to rush back into the sea.

“Too late!”

Jiang Yi laughed mockingly. The Fire Dragons moved too fast for the demon sovereign. Before it could even reach the sea, the Fire Dragons collided with it. There was a series of three explosive sounds. The demon sovereign’s body was torn into pieces. A few snake heads were smashed to smithereens. The impact caused the water from the sea to jump up several meters. It looked almost like there was a tsunami. As the huge wave hit the group of black fish, they flew in all directions.

“Eh?”

The black clouds had dissipated. Jiang Yi’s divine senses could finally access the area that the demon sovereign was at. Two of the demon sovereign’s nearly-destroyed heads began to grow their own bodies before charging toward the sea once again.

“This thing really has nine lives.”

Jiang Yi decided not to give chase. The waters here were pitch-black, and his divine senses would be affected inside it. What Jiang Yi feared most was that there would be poison in the water. Since seven of the demon sovereign’s heads had already been destroyed, only two remained. Jiang Yi guessed that the demon sovereign’s essence force was gravely injured as well. It would be of no threat to them anymore.

Swish!

Jiang Xiaonu brought Xiao Fei over and looked at Jiang Yi respectfully. “Young Master, your Divinity Slayer has really become much more powerful. I think it’ll be easy for you to kill even eight-star formidable martial artists now.”

“En!”

Jiang Yi felt it as well, but he felt like killing nine-star formidable martial artists would still be a challenge for him. Eight-star formidable martial artists would surely be easy, though. The demon sovereign that he killed just now did not even take much effort. His powers had really improved considerably.

“Let’s go.”

After having a taste of what the sea demons here were like, Jiang Yi felt much more at ease. This time, he did not allow Xiao Fei to control the black fish anymore. Instead, he asked Jiang Xiaonu to bring them to the center of the Black Sea as quickly as possible.

Jiang Xiaonu’s speed was unparalleled. She was at least three times faster than Jiang Yi. On the way, they met with many sea demons, but the low-level demons’ attacks were nothing to Jiang Xiaonu. Even the North Thearch’s attacks in the Endless Deep Sea could not subdue her. It was clear how frighteningly fast she was.

Jiang Yi threw Xiao Fei back into the Mystic Divine Palace, and then entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He released his divine senses. He was quite confident that Jiang Xiaonu would be able to bring them to the center of the Black Sea safely. What’s more, he was very familiar with the realization of his divine senses: he was not at all afraid of getting carried away.

“Go by the left, there’s a demon sovereign on the right!”

“Go around by the right, the poisonous fog on the island in front is too thick.”

From time to time, Jiang Yi would give Jiang Xiaonu directions. They needed to get to the mystic realm in the middle of the Black Sea as quickly as they could. There was no point engaging in battle with demon sovereigns.

After a day and a half, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at an exhausted Jiang Xiaonu. “Alright, three demon sovereigns are coming up in front. We can’t run away this time. Xiaonu, go and rest for half a day. After I kill these three demon sovereigns, you can continue to fly us.”

Buzz!

He did not allow Jiang Xiaonu much room for discussion. Immediately, he sent her into the Mystic Divine Palace. His Fire Dragon Sword appeared, and his gaze became cold. In a cold voice, he said, “Are the strongest demon sovereigns of the Black Sea finally here? The real battle can begin at last.”
