On the northern side of the Senluo Sea, there is a pitch-black sea area about one sea mile in size where not even moonlight can penetrate. The water is like a pool of dead water, unable to stir even the slightest ripple. At night, a white dot suddenly appeared on the sea surface. The dot grew larger and larger until it finally burst forth from the water, shooting up into the high sky like a mushroom cloud made of water. It was a force sweeping up from a hundred zhang beneath the sea floor, carrying with it astonishing wind power. The wind formed a giant wave tens of meters high on the sea surface. When the wave sprayed into the air, it covered the sky instantly like the ash from a volcanic eruption. The Senluo Sea Domain within a hundred li was affected by that giant wave. In front of the Heavenly Punishment Pillar, Jue Shang’s eyes, which had been silent for many years, lit up like ignited candles in an instant. "The Windmill Array has been activated." The Windmill Array is in fact a large Wind Formation; on ordinary days, to activate it requires the use of extra Fourth-level Dark Pills as power in order to achieve the effect of activation. Having just extorted over eighty thousand Fourth-level Dark Pills from Prince Fa Xiaoyi’s Prince Mansion, as well as a Seventh-level Dark Pill from an Alligator Turtle, Yue Jinghua spared no expense to leave this cursed Senluo Sea. One thousand Fourth-level Dark Pills as a supplement, with a Seventh-level Dark Pill as the main source, the combined Dark Power instantly caused the white windmill’s blades to rotate rapidly. The spinning windmill blades in the water formed an astonishing vortex, soaring straight up to the sea surface, and breaking through it to form that mushroom cloud. Above the sea domain, the wind power—the most tacit partner of natural water force—joined together from below, continuously striking and bombarding the Heavenly Punishment Pillar. The towering Heavenly Punishment Pillar, which had stood for a thousand years, reaching into the clouds, connecting to the sky, began to shake violently. "Whoosh--" Another head-on giant wave blasted off a corner of the Heavenly Punishment Pillar. Unable to withstand wave after wave of water force, a crack appeared on the Heavenly Punishment Pillar. Once the crack emerged, it grew rapidly like wildfire that had sprouted eyes. "Boom——" The middle of the pillar was severed in two. The runes on the pillar lost their effectiveness. Seeing the runes fading away, Jue Shang took a deep breath and exhaled, "whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh," four sounds in quick succession. From the wrists and ankles, the four Sealing Demon Daggers instantly flew out, the wounds at the limbs quickly closed up, and the Prohibition that had bound Jue Shang for a thousand years was lifted all at once. Above the sea, a funnel-shaped windy vortex was forming rapidly. Her gaze suddenly turned cold, and her figure shifted, like a heavy torpedo, she did not hesitate to dive into the sea. No matter who was behind this upheaval at the bottom of the sea, Jue Shang remembered very clearly that the girl named Yue Jinghua had deceived her and taken her Nanhuang Ring. She must retrieve that ring. Just as Jue Shang entered the water, the sea surface frothed, a powerful spiritual prohibition force swept over like the all-encompassing sea wind. Jue Shang’s figure abruptly froze, a sense of unprecedented threat descending from above along with the flapping sound of large flying creatures. Under the moon, appeared a golden-maned green-eyed winged griffin with a human body and a griffin’s body—a Half-beast. The man’s piercing eyes were incredibly sharp. On his back shone a bright Phoenix Totem, and in each hand, he held a snake-shaped spear. "Humph, who would have thought, Cang Qionglan actually sent one of his top ten Guardian God Generals, Jiu Mo, to guard the Senluo Sea," Jue Shang sneered bitterly, "Have you been waiting for this day for a long time?" "Jue Shang, back then you gravely injured Prince Cang Mi, and the merciful gods cast you into the Senluo Sea to repent for a thousand years. Yet you remain ignorant and seek to Break Formation and escape," the bald Divine General’s snake spear shone with Spiritual Light. If it hadn’t been for the rivalries between the various Divine Realms and the World Lord, and if Donglin Demon Cave had not bribed on your behalf with precious treasures pleading for your case, you would have perished soulless in the Nine Thunders Abyss long ago. He had been ordered to guard the notorious criminals of the Senluo Sea, and the World Lord had advised him to seize the opportunity to kill Jue Shang. It was only a pity that each sector of the Senluo Sea was protected by a Prohibition. Tonight, as he heard commotion in this region and rushed over, he indeed witnessed the surrounding Prohibitions being destroyed, allowing him the chance to enter this sea area, to execute that escapee. The heavenly law of the Senluo Sea: those who attempt to flee prison will be executed indiscriminately rather than let loose. "Gravely injure? So that despicable man Cang Mi is not dead yet," Jue Shang let out a loud howl, and her entire body’s heavy armor emitted clanging metal sounds; in her eyes, only despair remained.
