A streak of white light flashed across the sea, and He Yiming, riding the white horse Leidian, galloped away from that stretch of water. He glanced back for a moment, finally letting out a long sigh of relief.

With Leidian’s power fully under control, He Yiming no longer felt the slightest bit of fear, even when facing one of the peak Human Dao experts.

Under the state of Human-Beast Unity, he could fight such a formidable expert head-on.

But when three experts of that caliber appeared together, He Yiming had no choice but to flee.

Gently stroking Leidian’s neck, he waited there quietly.

After a long while, a streak of multicolored light flashed across the sky, and Bai Lingba descended smoothly.

He Yiming laughed heartily and gave him a thumbs-up, "Brother Bai, you are incredible."

To be able to toy with peak Human Dao experts in the palm of one's hand—it was doubtful anyone other than Bai Lingba could achieve such a feat.

Bai Lingba showed no reaction to He Yiming’s praise, relaying everything the two experts had discussed without omission.

He Yiming’s brow furrowed deeply. "The matter of the Thousand-Year Ice Island is not something we are qualified to meddle in right now. Since they aren't planning to go to Glazed Island, I am relieved."

As long as there was even a slight possibility, He Yiming did not wish to clash with these experts standing at the pinnacle of the Human Dao.

Bai Lingba said gravely, "They are waiting for the return of the Glazed Old Ancestor. You can wait at ease, and spread this news."

He Yiming nodded slightly. He certainly couldn't get involved in such affairs; his only recourse was to head to Glazed Island.

With a light pat on Leidian’s neck, the horse instantly transformed into a white streak on the water, heading directly toward Glazed Island, guided by the multicolored light in the sky.

However, Leidian had only bolted for fifteen minutes before stopping, as they spotted a familiar sea vessel.

It was the same large ship that had carried them to Star Island, but at this moment, the vessel was surrounded by surging waves and towering swells.

Even from a distance, He Yiming could clearly sense the immense power emanating from the scene.

The auras of Jin Zhanyi, the Qilian Twin Demons, the Li father and daughter, and others were entangled with more than ten powerful life forces rising from the seabed.

The possessors of these life forces were all Sacred Beasts of the sea. To have so many Sacred Beasts gathered in this one area was utterly unbelievable.

He Yiming’s mind raced, and he understood immediately.

After leaving Star Island, Jin Zhanyi and the others had boarded the ship and fled quickly, but they had the misfortune of encountering these Sacred Beasts from the outer sea, leading to this fierce confrontation.

Their luck was truly abysmal; to run into such a large group of Sacred Beasts—truly, when a person is down on their luck, even drinking cold water can cause them to choke.

A massive surge of fire power suddenly boiled forth. The moment this fire power manifested, the auras of Jin Zhanyi and the others retreated desperately backward.

Although this was their first time joining forces to fight an enemy, at their level of martial cultivation, coordinating their efforts presented no significant issue.

Eight massive fire dragons, complete with wagging tails, abruptly materialized on the sea surface. They writhed for a moment, instantly evaporating a vast expanse of seawater.

Within that evaporated area were two Sacred Beast monstrous fish and a large school of ferocious sea creatures. Yet, under the sweep of these eight fire dragons, even the strongest ocean inhabitants instantly turned into scorched black ash, vanishing with the wind. Only the two Sacred Beast monstrous fish shimmered with circles of azure light, managing to barely repel the massive fire power of the dragons.

The surrounding seawater surged violently inward, but upon touching the soaring fire dragons, it was instantly vaporized into gas that spread through the air.

Furthermore, these fire dragons seemed to possess sentience, clinging relentlessly to the two monstrous fish, as if they would not cease until the beasts were burned alive.

Puff…

A huge water arrow suddenly shot up from the sea, aimed directly at Li Yijing, who was controlling the Nine Dragon Furnace. This water arrow carried a trace of azure color and contained an immense power, far surpassing the limit of an ordinary Sacred Beast.

The Sacred Beast that launched this arrow was clearly highly intelligent; it had perceived that Li Yijing was the true master controlling the Nine Dragon Furnace, and in an effort to save its companion, it attacked her directly.

Li Jiangfeng flashed forward, using his spiked mace as a shield, blocking the direct path of the water arrow.

Innumerable plumes of water vapor shot skyward, and nearly half of Li Jiangfeng’s body sank into the water. The power contained within this single water arrow was astonishingly terrifying.

The Qilian Twin Demons’ expressions shifted slightly. They simultaneously swung their crescent shovels, which coalesced into a circular form in mid-air.

Then, five tangible flowers soared into the sky and were smashed forcefully toward the distance.

The Five Elements Great Reincarnation Flower, though requiring the combined effort of both brothers to unleash, was undoubtedly the most potent attack among them in terms of sheer destructive force.

A deafening roar echoed from the sea surface as a colossal white shell, nearly fifteen zhang long, surfaced from the depths.

The Five Elements Great Reincarnation Flower of the Qilian Twin Demons struck the shell violently. Besides kicking up countless sparks, it caused no apparent damage to the enormous sea monster.

Everyone’s face changed drastically. Such a terrifying monster, while perhaps not the absolute peak Sacred Beast, was certainly just below that tier.

Certainly, none of them present could handle this terrifying behemoth.

The massive shell opened slightly, and streams of water arrows were unleashed from the gap. These arrows, tinged with azure, reflected dreamlike light under the sun, causing the entire sky to become hazy and misty with the downpour.

However, everyone knew that as beautiful as this display was, being struck by one would certainly lead to dire consequences.

"Be careful!" Li Jiangfeng roared in warning. He leaped back out of the water and landed beside Li Yijing, swinging his spiked mace to create layers of shield-like illusions that enveloped the figures of the father and daughter.

The various Venerables deployed their techniques, erecting powerful interception nets around themselves.

The sea vessel carrying them had long since retreated far into the distance, speeding away at maximum velocity.

Without the Venerables aboard, none of the sea monsters moved to intercept them. It seemed these ocean Sacred Beasts were solely focused on targeting the Venerable-level experts among humans.

Others, even those at the Innate Realm, were beneath their notice.

The seemingly endless barrage of water arrows rained down, causing the protective forces deployed by everyone to vibrate violently. All of them were struck with terror; facing this super-level Sacred Beast, they realized it would be difficult to gain any advantage.

The giant shell seemed to sense the fear radiating from the human side, and it opened its two halves a bit wider.

Even larger plumes of water mist were sprayed out, the condensed power appearing even more formidable this time. Almost simultaneously, the ocean Sacred Beasts that had fled when the great fire erupted once more encircled the area. These strange and varied Sacred Beasts displayed their unique abilities, engaging the group of Venerables in entanglement.

When He Yiming arrived, this chaotic scene was what greeted him.

Under the threat of the massive water arrows descending from the sky, the human Venerables, despite having suffered no casualties yet, were clearly at a significant disadvantage.

Although the giant shell wasn't personally engaging any single individual, its mere presence and need for containment forced all the humans to fight defensively, placing them at an absolute lower hand.

Among so many combatants, only Li Yijing, relying on the power of the Nine Dragon Furnace, had managed to trap the two monstrous fish Sacred Beasts. Among the others, aside from the Qilian Twin Demons’ Five Elements Great Reincarnation Flower, no one else had gained an advantage.

This combat result made the newly arrived He Yiming click his tongue in amazement. Li Jiangfeng had indeed spoken the truth about the might of the outer sea Sacred Beasts.

He gently patted the little head of Bao Zhu (Precious Pig). The little creature immediately conjured black clouds beneath its hooves and soared into the sky. A white light flashed from its mouth, and the Nine-Toothed Rake flew out.

Powerful fire energy suddenly erupted above everyone’s heads. Nine fire dragons, in no way inferior to those summoned by Li Yijing, danced in the air. The formidable water arrows, upon contacting these fire dragons, immediately produced wisps of white smoke and vanished in moments.

The nine fire dragons, still eager for more, swept downward and descended near Deng Yichen.

Upon seeing the Nine-Toothed Rake, Deng Yichen felt reassured. Seeing the nine fire dragons counterattack downwards, he showed no panic but instead cooperated perfectly, tightly engaging the thick, water-snake-like Sacred Beast that had been fighting him.

As expected, the fire dragons from the sky coiled down, instantly engulfing the snake-like Sacred Beast before him.

Deng Yichen exerted force with his legs, pulling himself away from the immediate fray. He glanced at the snake-like Sacred Beast thrashing in agony within the fire dragons and felt a rush of emotion. However, he knew this was no time for distraction. With a turn, he moved to the side of the endangered Lin Xiangqing, taking on one of the two Sacred Beasts entangled with him.

When facing peak Human Dao experts, Bao Zhu naturally dared not reveal itself, but against those below the peak Human Dao, its Nine-Toothed Rake was infinitely powerful and accurate—hitting every target.

One fire dragon, carrying immense power, forcibly lifted the snake-like Sacred Beast out of the seawater.

Once these ocean Sacred Beasts left the water, their inherent power was severely diminished.

The nine fire dragons surged forth simultaneously, and in just a moment, the Sacred Beast was burned to ashes, bones and all.

Bao Zhu snorted contentedly. The frustration it felt facing the peak Human Dao experts was completely vented now.

The giant shell also seemed to notice the little pig in the sky, and its two halves opened wider again.

However, at that very moment, a white shadow suddenly sliced across from above the shell...
