Chapter 670: The Upheaval in the Demon Sea

After being tossed up high into the sky, Hao Ren looked down and saw only white mist on the sea. There was no trace of Penglai Island anymore.
The golden shield which had broken through to a higher realm had also been tossed into the same latitude as Hao Ren.
Taking a small turn around Hao Ren, it flew to the distance instantly.
With their own intelligence, the supreme spiritual treasures didn’t like to take orders from ordinary cultivators. Now that the golden shield had elevated to a higher realm, it wanted to be free from any restrictions of any cultivator and hide between the sky and the earth.
“Damn! Ungrateful thing!” Hao Ren cussed and touched the necklace on his chest before drawing out the purple gold hairpin.
The golden shield wasn’t an honorable treasure.
At the sight of the purple gold hairpin, the golden shield flew back and shot a golden light toward the purple gold hairpin.
It could run away, but when it saw the purple gold hairpin, it wanted to get its revenge.
Calmly, the purple gold hairpin didn’t dodge while its purple light brightened, creating countless phantoms of itself.
Clang… The two dharma treasures collided with each other, creating explosions and surging up sea waves. Many level 10 demon beasts dived deep into the ocean after hearing the noises.
They broke even!
“Purple gold hairpin, let’s go!” Sensing more and more demon beasts swarming toward them and finding no islands nearby, Hao Ren felt nervous and shouted.
After shooting out another purple light, the purple gold hairpin transformed into the golden boat.
After elevating to a higher realm, the golden shield only broke even with the purple gold hairpin, which greatly reduced its arrogance. After half a second of hesitation, it spun into the distance.
The dharma treasures with spirit properties were called supreme spiritual treasures which were divided into three levels: Nature Spiritual Treasure, Nature Celestial Treasure, and Nature Godly Treasure.
However, cultivators could only divide the dharma treasures into supreme spiritual treasures and ordinary dharma treasures. Except for the cultivators who had witnessed their dharma treasures pass Heavenly Tribulations, only the supreme spiritual treasures themselves could sense each other’s level.
In the past, the golden shield was no match for the purple gold hairpin because the latter had experienced two Heavenly Tribulations. Thus, it was one level higher than the golden shield.
Usually, after a dharma treasure passed the Heavenly Tribulation, it would follow the first cultivator it saw until the cultivator died. Then, it would fly away to find a new owner or hide in a place with abundant nature essence.
However, Hao Ren’s realm was lower than top-tier Nascent Soul Ream, which was why the golden shield didn’t want to follow Hao Ren after the Heavenly Tribulation.
“Go!” Hao Ren injected metal-elemental and water-elemental nature essence into the golden boat which instantly grew to almost 90 meters before flying swiftly to the west.
The golden boat and the golden shield flew in opposite directions.
They went their own ways.
“Master, what good do you see in this Hao Ren that you want him to take the oath and become your blood brother? Look! Even the dharma treasure he helped doesn’t want to follow him.”
“The important thing is not the dharma treasure but his carefree mindset. How would you feel if your supreme spiritual treasure deserted you after passing the Heavenly Tribulation? Qingfeng, Mingyue, you must rely on your minds to cultivate, not on external things.”
The conversation came from one corner.
The moment that the vague words were said, the golden shield suddenly turned around and chased after Hao Ren’s golden boat.
After passing two Heavenly Tribulations, it could defeat ordinary supreme spiritual treasures without Hao Ren. However, after flying for more than ten kilometers all by itself, it suddenly changed its mind.
It wouldn’t take Hao Ren as its owner for the time being, but it would stay with him.
Stepping on the golden boat, Hao Ren was flying swiftly when he saw a golden light beam catching up with him. At a closer look, he realized that it was the golden shield.
Withdrawing some nature essence, he slowed down the golden boat, and the golden shield which looked like a black beaten metal plate followed Hao Ren, hovering above his shoulder.
“Master, that dharma treasure went back!”
“Hehehehe…”
With a black ‘iron plate” following him, Hao Ren rode on the waves in the golden boat.
On the ocean, there were several celestial mountains.
However, he had come out of the deeper-colored inner area of the Demon Sea into a paler-colored outer area of the Demon Sea.
“Dragon cultivator, how dare you break into the Demon Sea!” A small demon king who looked like a teenage boy suddenly rose from the bottom of the sea, stepping on the sea wave.
When Hao Ren entered the Demon Sea, he had made several rounds in the inner area and didn’t encounter any demon kings. As Zhen Yuan Zi of Penglai Island had warned him, level 10 demon beasts must have brought the news to the demon kings, and they had been waiting for him in the outer area.
If an ordinary cultivator came into the area with Lady Zhen’s purple gold hairpin, no one would make trouble for him.
However, Hao Ren had the Immortal Physique. If the demon kings ate his essence blood, they would gain a great elevation in realms.
“Golden shield!” Hao Ren yelled.
He didn’t want to talk to this small demon king since he had sensed more small demon kings were trying to block him in other areas; he must rush out as quick as possible.
The golden shield which had decided to follow Hao Ren for the time being suddenly turned above his shoulder and shot out a golden light at this small demon king.
Having just transformed, this small demon king had no dharma treasures and tried to block with his hands, but the golden light pierced his chest and left a hole that was as large as a palm.
Thud… This small demon king fell backward into the sea.
Although the demon kings weren’t as fragile as human cultivators and wouldn’t die so easily, he was still seriously wounded.
Used to such battles, the purple gold hairpin just flew on.
As Lady Zhen’s dharma treasure, the purple gold hairpin was the token that Hao Ren used to enter the Demon Sea. The small demon kings didn’t dare to make trouble in the inner area where Lady Zhen lived and tried to block Hao Ren in the relative remote outer area.
If Hao Ren had been an ordinary cultivator, no one would mess with him. However, with his Immortal Physique, he was worth a try for the demon kings who were all fierce fighters.
However, the demon kings must cultivate again, which Hao Ren had known by living with Zhen Congming.
If they didn’t change back into their original forms, these small demon kings’ combat strengths were lower than Hao Ren’s, and there was no way that they could trick him!
Besides, Hao Ren had seen through their intention to surround him!
While he flew, Hao Ren shot out sword energies!
The purple gold hairpin flew across the sky above the sea at the traveling speed of the Soul Formation Realm.
Pu! Pu… Hao Ren’s hundun sword energies pierced through more than ten small demon kings.
These small demon kings had taken a small piece of territory in the outer area of the Demon Sea. They tried to block Hao Ren with a group of level 7 and level 8 demon beasts but realized that it was impossible due to the great speed of the purple gold hairpin and Hao Ren’s weird sword energies.
Without a word, Hao Ren flew in the high sky and shot his sword energies at them whenever they jumped out.
The Immortal Physique was indeed a great elixir, but these small demon kings didn’t have the ability to eat him.
Hua… A black sea monster that was as tall as a hill emerged from the water.
It spat out a demonic light beam.
“Golden shield!” Hao Ren called out again.
Staying closely by Hao Ren’s side, the golden shield shot out a fierce golden light, blocking the dark grey demon light.
Now that it came back to Hao Ren, he wanted it to do work.
Hua… More than a dozen demon beasts rose from the nearby sea area. They were all level 10 demon beasts that were the small demon kings who turned back to their original form. After their futile attempts to block Hao Ren with their human forms, they had changed back to their demon beast forms to surround Hao Ren and eat him together.
As to level 10 demon beasts that had not yet transformed, they also wanted to eat Hao Ren but weren’t bold enough to mess with a cultivator who had connections to Lady Zhen. Besides, with their strengths, they couldn’t get to eat Hao Ren even if they killed him!
With level 8 demon beasts equivalent to top-tier Nascent Soul Realm and level 10 demon beasts equal to peak Nascent Soul Realm, level 10 demon beasts could defeat Hao Ren, but they were worried that after they killed Hao Ren, the stronger small demon kings would take their prey and might even kill them in the process!
Swoosh! Seeing more than a dozen demon beasts that were equivalent to peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators rushing out of the sea, the golden shield shot up into the sky.
“Very good!” Hao Ren brought his hands together and launched a hundun sword energy into the sky from his golden boat which was in the high sky.
The demon beasts that were as tall as mountains rushed out of the sea and used their natal powers at Hao Ren.
Guang… The clouds in the sky suddenly turned into thunderclouds, releasing heavenly lightning bolts!
The heavenly lightning bolts swept past him and struck onto the level 10 demon beasts!
“Since you dare to mess with me, I don’t mind giving you another Heavenly Tribulation!” Hao Ren thought.
The small demon kings feared the Heavenly Tribulation, and Hao Ren’s lightning attack was perfect for them!
Lightning bolts flashed, and the level 10 demon beasts under the sea were ecstatic!
The demon kings who hadn’t reached the Nascent Soul Realm didn’t want to retake the Heavenly Tribulation. However, the level 10 demon beasts which hadn’t transformed needed heavenly lightning to transform!
-In a beautiful palace-
Lady Zhen was in a silk robe and lay on a wicker chair lazily, playing with an ancient green lamp.
“Your Highness, Gongzi Hao is blocked by small demon kings in the outer area of the Demon Sea, and the six big demon kings have moved. Shall we… send 18 demon generals to assist Gongzi Hao?” A man looking like a guard stood at the door and asked respectfully.
“Well…” Lady Zhen yawned and glanced at the door. “It doesn’t matter; let them fight. Only after they begin to fight can we send troops for good reasons.”
