Chapter 1622 (Raw 1604): Dangerous Starry Sea

Xiao Chen walked out of his room and went to the control room. Xiao Suo and the others currently operated the Black Cutlass pirate ship, traveling through the sea.

The Black Cutlass was the name that Xiao Suo gave the pirate ship, the shortened form of the Black Scimitar.

Xiao Suo had gone into the starry sea before and was no stranger to the environment of the starry sea. The Black Cutlass traveled extremely smoothly through the complicated starry sea.

“Captain, you came out?”

Xiao Suo looked at Xiao Chen with some surprise. For the past two months, Xiao Chen had not shown himself at all, communicating through voice projections from afar. Now, he finally formally emerged from closed-door cultivation.

There was a water screen in the front of the control room, showing the scene of the sea region in front.

Through the regulation of the formations, the scene on the water screen could be adjusted to show all three-hundred-sixty degrees around them with no dead angles at all. It was very well thought-out.

When one was in the control room, it gave one a sense of complete control.

Xiao Chen nodded slightly. He was still not quite satisfied with the speed of the pirate ship.

The group only just entered the depths of the Grave Sea, but another month passed. There was no saying when they would reach Senior Ye Zifeng’s sect.

The Grave Sea’s vastness surpassed his expectations.

Xiao Suo could tell what Xiao Chen was thinking. He explained, “For traveling in the starry sea, the Black Cutlass is already considered very fast. Even a late-stage Major Primal Core Venerate would not be as fast as the Black Cutlass.”

Xiao Chen knew this. The gravity in the starry sea was more than ten times that outside. Flying above the sea would not only be a great drain but also very slow. Furthermore, there was the danger of falling into the sea at any moment.

The strongly corrosive nature of a starry sea was no joke. No one was willing to soak in it.

“I can only hope that we find Senior Ye Zifeng before the Black Lotus Church finds us.”

Xiao Chen knew that he could not rush this matter. As for the Black Lotus Church, he could only pray hard.

“Rumble...!”

Suddenly, the roar of a huge wave from the sea region ahead thundered. The wave was very startling, emanating the aura of a strong, oceanic ferocious beast.

On the water screen in the control room, a sharp black object protruded from the sea.

Xiao Suo’s expression changed slightly. He said sullenly, “We’ve probably met with an oceanic ferocious beast. That dorsal fin is at least one kilometer long.”

“I’ll take a look.”

Remaining calm, Xiao Chen silently executed the Heavenly Eye. The Heavenly Eye turned into a flash of light, exiting the ship to hover in the sky and look down.

The Paradise Secret Canon’s Heavenly Eye peered through the water into the depths.

Then, Xiao Chen discovered that what was revealed on the surface of the sea was only the tip of the iceberg. His vision continuously sank deeper. After about five hundred meters, he discovered a sawtooth shark that was several kilometers long.

This was absolutely the largest oceanic ferocious beast Xiao Chen had ever seen. It was several times larger than the Jiao Snake, exuding an even stronger pressure.

Xiao Chen withdrew his Heavenly Eye and said in a low voice, “Go around it. This ferocious beast is several kilometers long. The dorsal fin is just the tip of the iceberg. This is a difficult opponent.”

“Could it be the Black Star Sawtooth Shark?” The experienced Xiao Suo immediately thought of a specific oceanic ferocious beast.

“The Black Star Sawtooth Shark is a rather strong oceanic ferocious beast. It possesses the strength of a Primal Core Venerate at birth.”

“At maturity, it is as strong as a Major Primal Core Venerate. The strongest ones are even on par with Cloud Sea cultivators.”

Inside the control room, Luo Nan and Fei`er quickly gave out information about the Black Star Sawtooth Shark. Over the past two months, the two of them had studied up on oceanic knowledge.

“Oh no! It’s too late to go around it.”

Xiao Suo’s face sank. The Black Star Sawtooth Shark in the water screen suddenly leaped out of the sea, revealing its gargantuan body. Its abdomen was covered in black star patterns, the distinguishing mark of a Black Star Sawtooth Shark.

After the Black Star Sawtooth Shark breached and soared into the air, the starry sea’s strong gravity pulled it back down towards the pirate ship.

Under the influence of gravity, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s humongous body flew like an arrow, moving at a horrific speed.

“There’s no need to panic. Xiao Suo, you stabilize the ship. I’ll use the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation to deal with it.”

At the crucial moment, Xiao Chen settled everyone down and calmly issued orders.

Xiao Chen gently pushed off with his feet and left the control room. With a few flashes, he arrived at the top of the pirate ship.

The first thing that welcomed Xiao Chen was the overwhelming gigantic wave kicked up by the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s breaching.

This powerful wave would be able to smash an ordinary Yang Essence cultivator to death. It was extremely mighty and also had a strongly corrosive nature.

Even with the defenses of the pirate ship, it would be hard to avoid being shaken and injured.

Xiao Chen extended his hand, holding the Lunar Shadow Saber. Then, he sent out a resplendent saber light.

The saber light chopped the overwhelming gigantic wave in half, not letting any water land on the pirate ship.

After that, Xiao Chen sheathed his saber before brandishing the Scarlet Blood War Banner. The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation in the ship instantly activated. A layer of dense, bloody, baleful, smoky clouds erupted with a startling bloodthirsty aura and quickly spread out.

“Whoosh!”

An enormous Yazi Beast image promptly shrouded the exquisite pirate ship. Inside the image, the pirate ship was like the Yazi Beast’s heart, hidden within its body.

As the Spirit Jades in the formation drained of energy, white bones materialized, one after another, and connected to each other in the Yazi Beast Demon Soul image—the Demon Soul of a Great Desolate ferocious beast.

This made the image appear much more solid.

“Boom!”

The Yazi Beast Demon Soul bared its fangs and clashed with the approaching Black Star Sawtooth Shark. “Crack! Crack!” The huge, sharp teeth of the Black Star Sawtooth Shark immediately shattered.

Intense shock waves spread out. Behind the several layers of barriers, the pirate ship in the Demon Soul’s chest only shook a little.

The Yazi Beast Demon Soul possessed a brutal nature; there was no need to control it.

When in battle, it would bring out its cruel and bloodthirsty nature. Even as a soul, it could not rid itself of such a violent nature.

Possessing the head of a dragon and the body of a leopard, the Yazi Beast landed on the surface of the sea with its four legs. Its enormous body was incredibly nimble.

The Yazi Beast commenced a fierce battle with the Black Star Sawtooth Shark while the Spirit Jades in the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation continuously drained of energy, turning into a bloodthirsty light moving about in the formation.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, The Black Star Sawtooth Shark is really strong. Furthermore, this is only a juvenile, not an adult.

He was surprised that this Black Star Sawtooth Shark could fight on equal terms with the Yazi Beast Demon Soul. After all, this Demon Soul was not affected by the gravity or had a sense of pain. It was bloodthirsty and ferocious, completely inheriting the nature of the Yazi Beast.

Fortunately, this battle did not last that long. After about four hours, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark clearly could not defeat its enemy and slowly weakened. Eventually, it became exhausted and could no longer move.

The extremely bloodthirsty Yazi Beast Demon Soul started swallowing up the blood in the Black Star Sawtooth Shark’s body.

Soon, the Black Star Sawtooth Shark was nothing more than a bloodless husk, which slowly sank into the sea. The seawater ate at its body, leaving only its skeleton.

This scene happened too quickly. Those who watched it felt their scalps go numb, having gained a deep impression of the strongly corrosive nature of the starry sea.

Xiao Chen waved the war banner and dismissed the formation. The Yazi Beast turned into countless beams of light and shrank. Eventually, it dispersed into drops of blood that landed in the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.

“Drizzle...!”

A blood rain seemed to fall on the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation. An evil-looking blood mist rose from the formation’s surface.

The carved Yazi Beast on the formation plate at the core of the formation showed an expression of enjoyment.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. After eating a few of such huge oceanic ferocious beasts, it should be able to light up one pearl.

At that time, the Yazi Beast Demon Soul’s strength will be further improved.

Before anyone could release their bated breath, a deep lament suddenly rang out in the vast surrounding sea. With the agitation from this sound wave, the seawater started to undulate intensely.

There were waves upon waves, moving berserkly without a pattern.

The pirate ship started shaking violently. As the waves rose and fell, it could not control itself in the air.

At the top of the ship, Xiao Chen did his best to stabilize himself and looked over.

He saw a Black Star Sawtooth Shark that was several times larger coming out of the water in the distance and lamenting in a deep tone.

The young Black Star Sawtooth Shark that just died was probably its offspring. Otherwise, its cry would not be so sorrowful.

As the lament spread out, similar sounds responded further away. Then, many black dorsal fins appeared in the sea.

This sight startled Xiao Chen. This is not good!

This Black Star Sawtooth Shark took Xiao Chen’s group for a strong enemy and was currently summoning its companions.

“Retreat!”

Xiao Chen returned to the control room and got Xiao Suo to control the pirate ship to escape quickly.

While Xiao Chen’s group could deal with a young Black Star Sawtooth Shark, it had no chance against a shoal of mature Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.

The people in the control room also grew anxious. The scenes on the water screen showed at least one hundred Black Star Sawtooth Sharks.

“Captain, the waves are too big; we are too slow.” Xiao Suo expertly controlled the pirate ship but could not do much as the waves became increasingly larger, completely suppressing them.

On the other hand, after the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks congregated, they advanced in the water en masse.

“Sink and hide!” Xiao Chen decided on the spot, spitting out the order.

No one doubted Xiao Chen’s order. Fei`er activated the Dark Night Bewildering Formation, and the ship turned pitch-black, looking like a black rock sinking into the depths of the sea.

Underwater, the pirate ship, with the Dark Night Bewildering Formation activated, silently merged with the darkness. At the same time, it covered up all signs of life within it.

The 3-Star defensive formations of the pirate ship were activated at the same time, to resist the corrosion of the starry sea.

Everyone remained quiet on the ship; no one dared to speak. This was a matter of life and death; everyone felt incredibly anxious.

The minutes ticked by. The pirate ship did not show much activity; everything remained incredibly silent.

It was like the shoal of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks did not discover the pirate ship.

Still, no one said anything. After remaining in the water for some time, Xiao Suo sensed that something was wrong. He said softly, “Why do I feel that the ship is still moving fast? The undercurrent should not be this strong.”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. He had no knowledge about the sea’s undercurrents. On hearing what Xiao Suo said, he quietly sent out his Spiritual Sense.

Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense was affected by the water; he could not see much.

However, just the scenes that he saw nearby were sufficient to shock him into not venturing further. Up, down, left, right, front, and back, he found mature Black Star Sawtooth Sharks in all directions.

The pirate ship was embedded in the shoal of Black Star Sawtooth Sharks, which was still moving forward, searching for the pirate ship.

The Black Star Sawtooth Sharks were unaware that the pirate ship was already among them. As they swam around, they created a strong slipstream that pulled the pirate ship forward.

When Xiao Chen told everyone in the control room about the situation, they were frightened silly.

They were like a lamb moving amid a pack of wolves; they could be discovered at any moment.

The pirate ship could cover up all signs of life and blend with the darkness. However, it did not truly vanish. If it accidentally touched a Black Star Sawtooth Shark or if one bit down on it by chance, the result would be absolute disaster.

Xiao Chen turned his head and said, “Xiao Suo, using what you feel from the undercurrent, control the ship and do not let the Black Star Sawtooth Sharks touch us. Otherwise, we will all die.”

When Xiao Suo heard that, he felt immense pressure. His hand trembled, but when he saw Xiao Chen’s trusting gaze, he gritted his teeth and stepped up at this crucial moment.
