Chapter 510: Chapter 286: Cloud-breaking Whale, Sea Level Sword!

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Xuan eventually shook his head fruitlessly.

No matter what, his Star Demon Tower only sells sea demon information, and the rest is not convenient to meddle in.

At most, he would pay more attention to some happenings over at Thousand Cloud Reef in the future.

He wondered whether he would receive news of the two Cloud-breaking Whales being hunted, or of Qi Chuan encountering trouble?

...

Leaving the Star Demon Tower, Qi Chuan walked on the streets of Demon Hunting City.

"This time, it went smoothly. I directly acquired the news about the Cloud-breaking Whale, a good Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon, and it’s even a pair, male and female. If handled well, it would mean two Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon Cores."

"However, the two Cloud-breaking Whales are quite powerful. Should I return to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and request Senior Brother Qingyun to hunt them together?"

Qi Chuan displayed a contemplative look.

In fact, to be safe, it would be better to go with Qingyun True Monarch.

However, Qi Chuan still had some confidence in his own strength.

Moreover, the back-and-forth would take a lot of time, and he was worried that the two Cloud-breaking Whales might leave Thousand Cloud Reef.

"I should first check out Thousand Cloud Reef. If there’s an opportunity, I’ll hunt them myself. If it’s difficult, I’ll return to Myriad Flowers Immortal Sect and request Qingyun True Monarch!"

After thinking for a moment, Qi Chuan made up his mind and then proceeded toward the gates of Demon Hunting City without further delay.

Sometime later.

At Thousand Cloud Reef, six thousand miles away from Feixing Island.

Whoosh!

A whistling sound pierced the air.

An obscure Escape Light descended, the light dissipated, revealing the silhouette of a graceful young man.

It was Qi Chuan, who had rushed over from Feixing Island.

Standing on a hard reef, Qi Chuan’s body emitted some mana fluctuations, clearly using some means to conceal his presence.

He did so out of concern for alarming the two Cloud-breaking Whales with his arrival.

"So this is Thousand Cloud Reef? The scenery is quite nice..."

After appearing, Qi Chuan gazed around.

He found the vast Thousand Cloud Reef very peaceful, with no sign of any powerful sea demons. The scenery was quite beautiful, with many moss-like plants growing like short trees on various rocks. These plants emitted some spirit plant aura and were actually some low-tier spirit plants.

However, these low-tier spirit plants remained untouched, growing leisurely in this place.

The reason was simple; no low-tier demon hunters dared to come to Thousand Cloud Reef to hunt sea demons.

And high-tier cultivators like Qi Chuan were not too interested in them.

After a glance, Qi Chuan withdrew his gaze without much disappointment.

He knew that trying to find the tracks of the nearby Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon Cloud-breaking Whale with just the naked eye was unrealistic.

However, the lack of powerful sea demons nearby was quite fitting.

Because around a sea where a Tier Four Sea Demon exists, Tier Three Sea Demons would avoid it like the plague.

"I still have to rely on Divine Sense."

The next moment, Qi Chuan released his Divine Sense.

His Divine Sense now surpassed many Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivators.

"Hmm? Got something?"

After just a moment, Qi Chuan immediately made a discovery, finding tracks of a Cloud-breaking Whale in the southeast sea area near Thousand Cloud Reef.

This Cloud-breaking Whale, sensed through Divine Sense, had an immense figure, black and white, with patterns like clouds on its body.

"But why is there only one? Didn’t they say it was a male and female pair?"

Qi Chuan was a bit surprised.

There was only one Cloud-breaking Whale below.

"Could it be hiding?"

Qi Chuan wondered.

However, after several Divine Sense scans, he didn’t find a second Cloud-breaking Whale nearby.

This made Qi Chuan completely put down his doubts.

For one thing, this Cloud-breaking Whale was just a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon.

Given his current Divine Soul strength, if there were truly a second Cloud-breaking Whale nearby, it would not escape his Divine Sense scan.

"I don’t know whether the second Cloud-breaking Whale encountered some accident or went somewhere."

"Such a good opportunity must not be missed."

"Otherwise, facing a male and female pair of Cloud-breaking Whales, I might need to ask Senior Brother Qingyun for help, which would be troublesome."

Thinking of this, Qi Chuan hesitated no longer and began to take action, preparing to hunt the Cloud-breaking Whale.

Whoosh!

Qi Chuan’s body moved.

Transformed into an obscure shadow, he flew across Thousand Cloud Reef, heading straight down into the sea, then swam rapidly through the water towards the Cloud-breaking Whale’s location sensed by his Divine Sense.

Soon, a black and white figure entered Qi Chuan’s sight, becoming larger as he approached.

A powerful pressure unique to a Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon emanated towards him, creating a sense of immense oppression.

"What a Cloud-breaking Whale!"

Gazing at the enormous yet smooth and beautiful body, Qi Chuan’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.

Compared to other sea demons, this Cloud-breaking Whale was genuinely beautiful.

Like a naturally perfect creature.

"Why does it feel a bit regretful?"

Qi Chuan mused.

But despite the regret, he couldn’t possibly leave the Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon Core before him, as he still needed to cultivate.

Shua!

As Qi Chuan thought this, the Cloud-breaking Whale, initially resting quietly, suddenly turned its head, locking its large beastly eyes onto Qi Chuan, with a hint of surprise and anger in its gaze.

Like it was furious that a human cultivator dared to intrude so close.

"Discovered me?"

"But it’s normal, I suppose, given it’s a pretty strong Tier Four Middle Grade Sea Demon. It would be abnormal if it didn’t notice me at this distance."

Seeing himself discovered, Qi Chuan didn’t look surprised.

Thanks to cultivating various concealment magics and due to the Hundredfold Critical Strike, he had long entered the Transformation Realm.

For an average Nascent Soul Middle Stage, they would have been discovered long before getting this close.

"Sea Level Sword!"

Now discovered, Qi Chuan naturally didn’t hesitate. Opening his mouth, a blue light burst forth, transforming into the roughly four-foot-long Sea Level Sword, hovering in the water.

From within the sword’s body, peculiar ripples spread, causing the surrounding water, initially flowing, to seemingly become still.

"Sword Gang Division!"

With Qi Chuan gesturing, the Sea Level Sword quivered slightly, splitting into three, forming two identical sword shadows. The three Sea Level Swords wove through the water, appearing to freeze all nearby movement.

"Go!"

With a gesture from Qi Chuan, the three Sea Level Swords trembled slightly before shooting forward, slicing towards the Cloud-breaking Whale nearby.

The speed of the Sea Level Sword was astonishing. It appeared to lack a sharp, fierce wave; as it moved, the surrounding water flowed, seemingly enveloping the sword.

Enveloped by the water, the sword’s speed didn’t slow but rather surged, as if invisibly lifted by the water, borrowing its strength.

Chi chi chi!

The three sword shadows whipped past the Cloud-breaking Whale, attacking from three different angles, carrying the waves of Sword Qi, Sword Gang, and Sword Intent, striking frequently.

The Cloud-breaking Whale bellowed furiously, swinging its massive tail, its agile body twisting in the water. With its powerful demon beast physique and the support of various strong innate divine techniques, it withstood the three swords’ assault.

In the deep sea, it was like waves crashed fiercely; the magical combat aftermath made this sea seem to boil.

For a moment, the Cloud-breaking Whale managed to fend off the siege of the three Sea Level Swords.

Yet, over time, some sword marks began to appear on its body. Bright demon blood seeped from the torn wounds, staining the surrounding sea red.
