But no matter how careful they were, they couldn't overcome these strange chains, and one by one they were dragged into the deep sea in endless fear.
When one of them was pulled down, Xuandu happened to swim past Him and knew that His talent was called the Indestructible Power, which could specially strengthen a precious blade in a short time and cut through most of the world's fine metal alloys, making it easier than peeling tofu.
Xuandu witnessed him cut off the magical artifacts of other immortals, and he did so in a short period of time, cutting off three artifacts in a row.
However, even when the demon took out its natal magic weapon and imbued it with indestructible power, it could only clink the chains and cut off a large number of strange red insects, but the chains themselves were not damaged at all!
These chains are truly unbreakable, indestructible, impervious to blows, and impossible to shake off; they're like monsters that only appear in nightmares.
The goddess of illusion used to kill people in dreams with monsters, but now she is also someone's target.
Sea Emperor Xuandu, in particular, received special attention. While other demons were bound by at most one chain, he was assigned five chains. No matter which direction he moved, five chains would attack from all directions, their speed no slower than his.
Xuan Du acted decisively, turning his back on He Lingchuan without looking back, ignoring the cries for help from the other demons. In the midst of the chaos, he was clear-headed: only by quickly capturing and controlling He Lingchuan could the current crisis be resolved.
He realized that these chains were some kind of large formation. They had indeed stepped right into their opponent's trap, incredibly smoothly.
Upon his approach, He Lingchuan merely swam back a couple of times as a gesture, clutching a long piece of seaweed with one hand to avoid being swept away by the current. Aside from that, he seemed to have no intention of fighting, not even revealing his weapon, simply pointing behind Xuan Du and saying, "Hey, your opponent is over there."
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Xuan Du's first reaction was: This guy is just making things up again.
But he immediately realized something was wrong.
The water flow behind has changed.
As a master of water control, Xuandu possessed a keen sensitivity to changes in water flow. This intense, oppressive feeling of flowing against the current could only be created by a colossal creature—
And its swimming speed is incredibly fast.
Smaller creatures are more agile, while larger ones are slower—this is a fundamental rule for aquatic life, but it was broken by this thing behind us.
What's even stranger is that Xuan Du had no idea of the thing behind him before He Lingchuan pointed!
He is the Sea King; sensing unusual movements in the water is as natural as breathing for him.
How could something have gotten so close to me without my knowledge?
Xuandu hurriedly turned around and looked—
Even someone like him, who was used to seeing giant creatures in the deep sea, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared from behind, almost dimming the light across the entire body of water.
In Xuan Du's mind, only the giant schools of fish migrating in the deep sea could compare to it.
Aside from anomalies like Thousand Illusion True Man and Hidden God Lord, how could a single biological individual grow to such a size?
Only then did he hear the goddess of illusion warn him: "Be careful, something is coming from behind."
In other words, the Heavenly Demon behind them had only just noticed this shadow.
Its appearance was very abrupt.
Xuan Du originally thought it was a giant monster like a dragon whale, after all, what strange creatures are there in the deep sea? The sea creatures he managed and commanded were not lacking in rare behemoths.
However, upon closer inspection, Xuan Du discovered that this thing only resembled a large fish in shape, but it had no eyes, ears, mouth, gills, or even fins—it lacked all the organs of a living creature.
So can this thing still be a living organism? Unless it's also a cluster-like aggregate, like the Hidden God.
However, this idea might be more plausible, because Xuan Du discovered that the monster's surface was also covered with dark red worms, just like the chains.
By the way, speaking of chains, this monster was covered in dozens of dark red chains. I wonder why it didn't make a sound when it swam close earlier?
He Lingchuan only breathed a sigh of relief after witnessing Chaos appear in person. It seemed he had made the right bet again.
He is not good at dream warfare at all, and he cannot defeat the Lord of the Dream Kingdom on his own.
So he had planned from the very beginning to leverage external resources!
During the decade or so that the Great Square Pot was closed, he could dream; but ever since the Panlong World reopened to him, he has lost that right again. Once he falls asleep, or even just enters a meditative state, his soul is pulled back to the Panlong World by the Great Square Pot, and he can't have any other dreams or go to any other dream realms!
In other words, as long as He Lingchuan finds a way to make the Goddess of Illusion chase after his soul and try to capture it, just like she did to the Earth Mother, Da Fanghu will not stand idly by and will definitely take action!
This idea has a good chance of succeeding because there are precedents.
While investigating the disappearance of a messenger in the Kingdom of Chiyan, he was ambushed by Zhongsun Mou. Zhongsun Mou's sorcerer sent a nightmare under cover of night to silently kill him in his sleep. However, the nightmare entered the Panlong World and before it could pose a real threat to He Lingchuan, it was swallowed whole by Hun Dun.
The Big Pot usually doesn't provoke or attack others, but it won't be polite if anyone sneaks into its territory.
He Lingchuan felt he could take advantage of the pot's arrogance.
Ling Jinbao also mentioned that he once accidentally entered the Maohe trade route in the Panlong world and even saw He Lingchuan leading a group to kill people, but he didn't recognize He Lingchuan at the time.
During that period, the Great Square Pot was evolving rapidly, and the Panlong World was sometimes unstable.
When He Lingchuan was the son of the city garrison commander of Blackwater City, he often heard desert travelers staying overnight in the Panlong Ruins. In the middle of the night, they would suddenly hear a great commotion and even walk into a strange city, wandering around, shopping, and talking with people. The next day, they would realize that they had just had a dream.
This suggests that the two worlds can occasionally connect.
Don't forget, the Chaos Realm has been ramming into the Panlong Secret Realm with particular vigor and ferocity lately, determined to destroy it completely. If he, the master of the Panlong Secret Realm, were to be a little more lenient—
Hmm, there should be a chance.
But the appearance of the Sea Emperor Xuandu was purely unexpected... a delightful surprise!
If you can handle so many Heavenly Demons, Dafanghu certainly wouldn't mind expending a little more effort to devour another True Immortal, right?
He Lingchuan had confidence in the pot.
Just then, after several attempts to dodge, the Goddess of Illusion finally succumbed and was also entangled in the chains. Compared to the other celestial demons, she was quite agile, but in the deep sea, she was merely a slightly stronger prey.
He cried out to the Sea God, "Save me!"
But Xuandu himself was barely able to save himself, so how could he possibly have the strength to save Him?
