Chapter 280: Old Acquaintances
The Eye of the North Sea existed deep in the sea. The middle-aged man was shrouded in fog and couldn’t see inside clearly.
In the previous era, a False Immortal went inside and disappeared without any news. Later on, everyone judged that this False Immortal had already died.
Hence, this place was also called a dangerous place.
This time, the six False Immortals from the Wo Nation entered together and cheered each other on.
“For the sake of the recovery of our Wo Nation, we have to go in and obtain the power of Orochi in order to deal with that Great Emperor Jiufeng of the Yuhua God Dynasty.”
“For this reason, even if we die, it’s still worth it. As long as we can convince Orochi, we will be the heroes of Wo Nation!”
The leader of the False Immortals who had passed six lightning tribulations was encouraging the others. They entered the Eye of the North Sea. What greeted their eyes was thick fog. The sea surged and rolled endlessly. The seawater was so dark that it made their hearts feel cold.
“My spiritual consciousness can’t sense anything at all,” a False Immortal said with a trembling voice.
“Me too. My spiritual consciousness has been sealed.”
“This place is very dangerous.”
The few False Immortals were very careful. They didn’t dare to be careless at all. They gathered together and advanced slowly.
Everything here was filled with danger for them.
In the black sea, there were terrifying and huge creatures shuttling back and forth with a majestic aura. Just the fin alone was like a heavenly blade that could cut through everything in the world, scaring the few False Immortals into not daring to move at all.
Not only that, but there were also terrifying creatures like this in the other parts of the sea. There were also terrifying existences in the thick fog. If it weren’t for the six False Immortals working together and focusing on hiding, they would have encountered trouble long ago.
But such a simple method also slowly brought them closer to the depths of the Eye of the North Sea.
Here, they saw a huge vortex. In the center of the vortex was the Eye of the North Sea.
At the edge of the Eye of the North Sea, there was a huge, nine-headed Orochi. Its body was entangled with its tail. At the edge of the huge vortex, it tried its best to maintain itself without being dragged down.
“That’s the Orochi recorded by the seniors.” The False Immortals of the Wo Nation were very excited. One of them pointed and said excitedly.
“Senior Orochi, we are here to save you.” A False Immortal shouted excitedly.
“You are a human?” Orochi raised its head and let out a rumbling sound.
“Yes, you are the totem of our Wo Nation,” the False Immortal said excitedly.
“I understand. You guys are the descendants of that kid from thousands of years ago.” Orochi remembered that thousands of years ago, a human kid had accidentally entered the Eye of the North Sea and encountered it. Just as the kid was about to be sucked into the vortex, he was saved by Orochi.
Originally, Orochi wanted to eat him up, but the kid directly knelt down and prostrated himself before Orochi and worshipped it as a totem. Orochi actually released him and even let him go out to think of a solution to save it.
Thousands of years had passed, and Orochi had long forgotten about this matter. Now, the appearance of these few False Immortals made him recall this past.
“That’s right, that’s our ancestor. According to the manual left behind by our ancestor, we came deep into the Eye of the North Sea because we wanted to save you. Now that the world has changed, it’s a good opportunity for you to appear and fulfill your ambitions.” The False Immortals of the Wo Nation nodded excitedly.
“The six of you False Immortals, pull me out together. The suction force of this vortex is too strong, I can’t break free.” Orochi was overjoyed and immediately instructed.
The few False Immortals obeyed. They grabbed Orochi’s tail and used all their strength to pull it out.
Orochi was also secretly exerting its strength. It had been trapped here for thousands of years, but it had never been able to escape the suction of the vortex. It could only barely maintain itself to prevent itself from being sucked in.
Rumble!
The dragged-out Orochi excitedly displayed its aura. Under its peerless aura, its nine heads roared frantically. There were fan-like creases on its back and neck. After spreading out, its huge body appeared. Its nine heads swayed on it. This was Orochi’s true form.
It was at the ninth stage of False Immortal Realm!
Just one step away from becoming an immortal!
“After being trapped for thousands of years, I’ve finally come into being!” Orochi roared excitedly. Its voice rumbled as it looked at the huge vortex with hatred and fear in its eyes.
“You delayed me for thousands of years. Otherwise, I would have long become an immortal.” Orochi was filled with hate. In the past few thousand years, it could be said that it had no improvement at all. It had been fighting with this vortex all this time.
Now that it had escaped, it had nowhere to vent out its anger. But because of its fear, it didn’t dare to approach the huge vortex anymore.
“God Orochi, what exactly is this?”
“That’s right. This vortex is so huge, what exactly is underground?”
“Also, the thick fog around here never dissipates. It’s very strange.”
The False Immortals were all quite tired. They asked these questions while panting.
Orochi transformed into a human form and looked at the vortex. He said with fear, “I don’t know what this is. Back then, after I transcended the Five Decay of the Celestial Being, I was preparing to find a place to properly prepare to break through to become a true immortal. That’s why I came here and encountered this vortex. At that time, I wanted to go down and investigate, but as soon as I approached, I discovered that I was being devoured uncontrollably. At the core, I saw a coffin that was suppressing the Eye of the North Sea. If I got swept into it, I would be killed. I hurriedly wanted to escape, but I couldn’t break free. This has lasted for thousands of years until I was saved by you guys.”
Orochi was a powerhouse from the previous era. He didn’t know what was beneath the Eye of the North Sea, so he wanted to go down and take a look. He thought that after passing the nine lightning tribulations, this sea vortex wouldn’t be able to do anything to him. But as he was sucked in, he personally saw a terrifying coffin suppressing the Eye of the North Sea. The terrifying aura made Orochi know that once he approached, he would definitely be torn to pieces. That was why he tried his best to escape.
But after thousands of years, he managed to reach the border of the vortex but was unable to go any further. Therefore, he was trapped here.
If the False Immortals of the Wo Nation didn’t come to save him, it would really be very difficult for him to come out. In the end, he would be tired out from resisting the pull of the vortex and be dragged down.
“You all are the descendants of that person and you saved me. Therefore, I shall be your ally. Tell me, how has the outside world changed? Who’s ruling the world now?” Orochi asked.
“The people ruling the world now are a faction of the Human Race called the Yuhua God Dynasty,” a False Immortal said.
“Who is the most powerful person?” Orochi asked again.
“It’s Great Emperor Jiufeng of the Yuhua God Dynasty. He suppressed the Myriad Races and even destroyed the Primordial God Mountain…” The False Immortal of the Wo Nation explained the current situation of the world, especially the information of the Yuhua God Dynasty and Great Emperor Jiufeng.
“The recovery of spiritual energy, the emergence of the Myriad Races, the world of great competition, the Yuhua God Dynasty, Great Emperor Jiufeng…” Orochi’s expression gradually became excited.
“This is the opportunity that I’ve been waiting for. Breaking through the False Immortal Realm in one go and becoming a true immortal, this is my goal.”
“The Yuhua God Dynasty’s Great Emperor Jiufeng is a powerhouse who rose up in this era. His destiny energy is definitely powerful. Once I devour this person and absorb his destiny energy, the pace of my breakthrough to become a true immortal will definitely speed up.” Orochi’s heart rose with lofty ambitions, and his eyes lit up.
“Let’s go and understand this world now. Let’s see how terrifying this Great Emperor Jiufeng is.” Orochi sneered.
“That’s right. Great Emperor Jiufeng is just a False Immortal who has transcended eight lightning tribulations. He’s definitely not a match for God Orochi.”
“That’s right. Once God Orochi devours him, nothing in this world will be able to stop you anymore. You will become the only King of this era!”
“The Yuhua God Dynasty and the Great Emperor Jiufeng will both submit to you!”
The False Immortals of the Wo Nation praised him excitedly.
Hearing this, Orochi’s mood also surged. He waved his hand and directly headed for the Yuhua God Dynasty.
He believed in himself. Killing a Son of Destiny who had only undergone eight lightning tribulations would just be a piece of cake for him.
…
Yuhua God Dynasty, Imperial Capital.
In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng was living the life of an ordinary person.
None of these tribulations could defeat him. He continued to live his quiet life, and he was constantly battling the influence of the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
This was a peaceful period. He had just wiped out the Primordial God Mountain not long ago and shocked the world. The world was quiet, and there was no longer a need for him to take action. It was good for Lin Jiufeng to use this period of time to break through the Five Decay of the Celestial Being.
Lin Jiufeng would gain a lot every day. All of these gains accumulated enough foundation for Lin Jiufeng.
Lin Jiufeng wasn’t in a hurry to repair his broken Dao Fruit. His divine soul was sealed, but he wasn’t in a hurry to break the seal. He spent most of his time looking at the clouds, the sky, the wind, and the moonlight every day…
There was great wisdom in between heaven and earth.
Among the living beings, there were great principles hidden within.
Lin Jiufeng ignored everything else and focused on comprehending the Great Dao.
But at this moment, the Yuhua God Dynasty encountered a problem.
Emperor De received the message that a terrifying monster beast was heading for the Yuhua God Dynasty.
In the Forbidden City, Emperor De gave the order solemnly.
“Let the various powerhouses deal with this monster beast!”
Emperor De knew that Lin Jiufeng was in seclusion and couldn’t be disturbed. Hence, he arranged for 12 False Immortals to deal with this ferocious monster beast together.
Orochi!
That’s right. Orochi, who had just escaped from the Eye of the North Sea, rushed straight for the Yuhua God Dynasty. He wanted to devour Great Emperor Jiufeng and absorb that huge amount of destiny energy to make himself stronger and close the gap between a False Immortal and a true immortal.
This gap was akin to the gap between the thumb and index finger. It didn’t seem big, but upon closer inspection, one would discover that there was a universe between the fingertips.
And when he came to land from the vast sea, Orochi instantly transformed into his true form. His huge body and terrifying aura erupted, shaking the world.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
His nine heads let out a deafening sound.
After being sealed for thousands of years and losing these thousands of years, Orochi was very aggrieved.
He was originally the King of the Monster Race of the previous era, and he was only one step away from becoming a true immortal. After thousands of years, he escaped the weakening of the spiritual energy in the world, but he was trapped in a place and couldn’t cultivate, struggling to hold on.
How aggrieved was that?
When Orochi appeared, he roared crazily, venting his depression and showing off his strength.
He wanted to tell the world that the once invincible King of the Monster Race had returned.
Rumble!
As a False Immortal who had transcended nine lightning tribulations, he had a terrifying aura.
In the current world, other than the few eighth stage False Immortals from the Primordial God Mountain and Lin Jiufeng who had undergone eight lightning tribulations, there was no other eighth stage False Immortal that was known to the world.
Not to mention a ninth stage False Immortal.
Orochi’s aura erupted, shocking the various large factions.
In the Kunlun Mountains, the escaped Winged Dragon immediately raised her head in shock and cried out, “This is a False Immortal who has transcended nine lightning tribulations. He has already transcended the Five Decay of the Celestial Being. He’s infinitely close to becoming a true immortal. Which one of the Myriad Races is he from?”
Big Sister Divine Silkworm looked into the distant sky and said solemnly, “He’s not from the Myriad Races. There are no traces of the Myriad Races on his body. This is a monster beast that was born after the Myriad Races. He has nine heads and a neck that’s like a cobra. His body is huge, and he looks much larger than a true dragon.”
“What kind of monster beast is this?” Huang Xianer asked in surprise.
“He’s heading towards the Yuhua God Dynasty,” a False Immortal said in surprise.
“Did the Yuhua God Dynasty offend him?” Winged Dragon asked in shock.
“I don’t know, but is Great Emperor Jiufeng strong enough to resist him?” Huang Xian’er asked, puzzled.
“I think it’s possible. Great Emperor Jiufeng is very powerful,” Big Sister Divine Silkworm said without hesitation.
“But the gap between someone who had passed the Five Decay of the Celestial Being and an eighth stage False Immortal isn’t ordinary,” Winged Dragon said hesitantly.
“Great Emperor Jiufeng had also gone back to transcend the Five Decay of the Celestial Being,” Big Sister Divine Silkworm said.
“No, this ninth tribulation isn’t something that can be transcended so fast. Let’s continue watching. We can’t let anything happen to Great Emperor Jiufeng. He still has to help us find the whereabouts of the Kunlun Immortal,” Winged Dragon said worriedly.
She had high hopes for Lin Jiufeng.
The others watched silently.
In the Myriad Races, all the major races were observing. No one recognized Orochi, but this didn’t stop them from acknowledging his might. This was a very terrifying monster beast.
The key was that he wanted to find trouble with the Yuhua God Dynasty, not the Myriad Races.
The Myriad Races were naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the fruits of the resulting battle. They watched silently, wishing that Great Emperor Jiufeng and this terrifying monster beast would both suffer and let the Myriad Races take advantage of the situation.
In the Yuhua God Dynasty, the Seven Great Sages of the Monster Race who had just received Emperor De’s order were all dumbfounded when they saw Orochi.
“It’s Great Sage Orochi. Didn’t he disappear for thousands of years?” Demon King Jiao cried out.
“That’s right. Orochi is the absolute King of the Monster Race of the previous era. When he was still around, the Monster Race could even suppress the Human Race. But he has disappeared for too long. I didn’t expect him to appear here,” Demon King Pingtian said solemnly.
“Emperor De asked us to deal with him. How are we supposed to do that?” Demon King Dapeng asked worriedly.
“Back then, we were already no match for him. Although we have entered the False Immortal Realm and have transcended a few lightning tribulations, compared to our peak in the last era, we are still lacking.” The Great Sage of the Dreaming, Yun Shanhai, gritted his teeth and said.
“There’s no need to be afraid. The Yuhua God Dynasty has Great Emperor Jiufeng to depend on. We have to believe in him,” Demon King Dapeng, who was Great Sage of the Chaotic Heavens, said firmly. He had really become a believer of Great Emperor Jiufeng now, especially after Lin Jiufeng neatly destroyed the Primordial God Mountain.
Demon King Dapeng was impressed by Lin Jiufeng. He firmly believed in Lin Jiufeng now.
“Then, let’s all go and see this Orochi together. I wonder if he still remembers us. There’s no need to go into detail about his might. Let Emperor De withdraw the others. Don’t make useless sacrifices. If Great Emperor Jiufeng doesn’t make a move, no one will be his match,” the Great Sage of the Moving Mountain, Demon King Gui, said.
Everyone nodded and walked towards Orochi.
