Chapter 206

    No wonder I couldn’t penetrate its defense. Li Su quickly realized the uniqueness of the Azure Dragon Beast. This creature’s outer layer wasn’t covered in scales but had an extraordinarily robust suit of armor that closely resembled scales. This armor made it challenging to discern distinctions, especially when Li Su’s attacks lacked precision. This armor possessed remarkable defensive capabilities, and not even top-tier magical swords like the Flying Immortal Sword could breach it.

    However, his inability to break through didn’t render Li Su powerless. The Flying Immortal Sword’s attacks followed a flexible path, with Li Su continually channeling spiritual energy. While the Azure Dragon Beast was formidable, equivalent to the third or fourth layer of Divine Transformation, the source of its extraordinary defensive treasure remained a mystery.

    “Let’s capture it first!” Li Su murmured and swiftly acted, releasing numerous flags while unleashing symbols and runes in all directions, intending to trap the Azure Dragon Beast.

    “Ouch!”

    The Azure Dragon Beast seemed to sense the impending danger and desperately retreated, demonstrating exceptional alertness.

    “Roar!”

    Li Su’s hand moved, and a profusion of golden threads emerged from all directions. The fifth-layer sea beast attempted to resist by feigning death and moving its tail but to no avail. With a flick of Li Su’s finger, a magical artifact transformed into a massive rod, delivering a powerful blow to the sea beast, rendering it unconscious and defenseless. The golden threads enveloped the fifth-layer sea beast, and under its severe injuries, it couldn’t break free, falling captive to Li Su.

    Li Su couldn’t help but glance at the young black dragon lady, wondering if her tacit approval meant she would agree. Although she was several hundred years old, her petite frame raised questions about her ability to bear children. “Elder Mo, we’re entrusting this sea beast to you. See if you can extract any information from it. The other fifth-layer sea beast with the formidable armor escaped. There’s something suspicious about this.”

    With the matter settled, Li Su looked at Mo Qi and said, “Crafting treasures in our sea clan isn’t an easy task. Where did these sea beasts with such potent armor originate?”

    “Indeed, something seems amiss,” other influential members of the sea clan murmured skeptically upon hearing Li Su’s words. Li Su sensed that this matter might be connected to the shadowy figures who had plotted against the North Sea and the Northern Realm thousands of years ago. However, he couldn’t be certain.

    The North Sea Spring had a significant influence on sea creatures, potentially causing them to run amok. Releasing a sea beast with power comparable to a mid-stage Nascent Divinity and equipping it with potent armor suggested an even greater force. So why hadn’t they attacked and wiped out the North Sea’s sea clan? Perhaps they harbored their concerns, lurking in the shadows for a reason. Many questions lingered, but Li Su lacked sufficient information to conclude, opting to leave the matter to the North Sea clan for resolution.

    “There’s undoubtedly something suspicious at play. Thank you for the reminder. This incident has served as a wake-up call for us, and we’ll enhance the defense of the Sacred City moving forward,” Mo Qi affirmed. Li Su and Mo Lin’s wedding plans were subsequently finalized and scheduled to take place in three months. Mo Lin didn’t raise further objections but conveyed a condition through Bai Ling, indicating her desire to delay childbearing until her true dragon bloodline was fully restored.

    It appeared that her true dragon bloodline had not yet completely recovered, but this wasn’t a significant issue. This time, the Dragon Clan was uniting a divine being, Mo Lin, with a true dragon bloodline, and Li Su’s appreciation for her prompted him to send out numerous invitations. When word spread that Li Su was marrying another divine being from the Sea Clan, cultivators in the Northern Realm were again shocked.

    As Li Su prepared for the wedding, he received unexpected news that the sect leader, Shangguan Xue, had ascended to the Nascent Divinity stage. Upon receiving this information, Li Su promptly made his way to the Immortal Sect.V/\Issi?T  for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
