Chapter 720 (1/2)

That was the kind of person Zhou Weiqing was. To repay kindness with kindness and hostility with hostility. He was not one to repay kindness with hostility!

Therefore, Zhou Weiqing was conflicted. He knew this was as good a chance as any, but he considered staying his hands. In any case, it all depended on how the situation developed. He even considered coming clean with his identity. The Palace Master of the Mysterious Heavenly Palace might award him the Spatial Teleportation Stone for his honesty. Admittedly, the chances of that happening were very low. The elders had already said so, the Spatial Teleportation Stone only had a few uses left in it. The chances of them willingly borrowing him the stone was low.

Oh, well, he would shift the sails as the wind blew. Even though Zhou Weiqing was formulating his thoughts, he was on full alert. This was because he was within the range of the Blackfiend Dragon’s powerful demonic and soul energy. He did not dare to fully release his perception as well. One wrong move and he might get seriously injured, therefore, he only relied on his eyesight as he watched the scene unfold.

Zhou Weiqing perched on a spot that they had passed by on the way there. Behind him was the Mysterious Heavenly Mainland. Since the Dreadfiend Sea Naga lived in the deep ocean, waiting so close to land meant that the Dreadfiend Sea Naga would not appear close to him.

The Blackfiend Dragon’s bellows did not cease. If anything, the dragon’s spirited howl had only gotten louder and louder. The same went with the presence radiating from his body. He was not only manipulating the power of darkness between heaven and earth, he was gathering power for himself.

When one had reached the Heavenly God Tier, every battle was extremely dangerous. Even a small mistake could tip the scales of the battle greatly.

At that moment, Zhou Weiqing suddenly perked his ears. Down near the horizon, an equally scary collection of energy had appeared. The collection of energy was so palpable that Zhou Weiqing could see it with his naked eyes. At the end of his sight, the dark clouds that originally covered the sky started to part in ripples.

In its place was not the blue sky but a wall of waves that were practically joined to the sky.

Yes, a wave. The wall of seawater was so high that its crest had reached the sky. The giant wave was crashing down in their direction with incredible speed like it was powered by an electrical motor.

No wonder the Dreadfiend Sea Naga was called the ruler of the sea. While Zhou Weiqing was awestruck, he shuffled a few steps back.

Through the haze, he could see in the middle of that giant wave was a gigantic dragon’s head that was formed by the consolidation of sea water. It was howling crazily. It was the call of the sea, and it swallowed the Blackfiend Dragon’s powerful bellows.

Such power.

In just a blink of an eye, the sea had changed back into an azure, clear state as if all the impurities had been washed away. The whole sea had started to bubble, great walls of waves rose into the sky and concentrated water energy burst into the air like gushing fountains, cleansing the demonic energy.

This was the ocean after all. The most concentrated element had to be water! Furthermore, the Dreadfiend Sea Naga’s cultivation base was higher than the Blackfiend Dragon. After this initial onslaught, the presence that the Blackfiend Dragon had manifested earlier waned considerably.

However, the Blackfiend Dragon did not show any sign of compromise. Even though the howling gradually ceased, the dark clouds in the sky hung around like they had crystallized, continuously coming into conflict with the sky-high waves. Each collision created sparks like lightning and various elements between heaven and earth shivered from the collisions.

This was a fight between Heavenly God Tier powerhouses. Be it the sea or dark clouds, these were manifestations of nature. They were manipulating the power of nature to combat each other.

Zhou Weiqing observed the battle with glowing eyes. He would not have the opportunity to witness a combat of this caliber more than a few times with his eyes. Even the smallest energy maneuver could greatly benefit his cultivation training.

The wave suddenly stopped when it reached the height of several thousand meters. It slowly parted to reveal a gigantic shadow supported by the weight of the blue ocean.

The Dreadfiend Sea Naga. This is the Dreadfiend Sea Naga?

The Blackfiend Dragon was not a looker but in comparison to this Dreadfiend Sea Naga, he could be considered handsome.

The Dreadfiend Sea Naga was a lot larger than the Blackfiend Dragon. The length of its body was more than a hundred meters but it did not have wings. Its physical body had the appearance of a cylindrical pillar but one that was covered in dark blue spines. The spines around its head were more than half a meter wide and combined with its gaping maw, it was truly a terrifying sight to behold.
