CHAPTER 897: CHAPTER 639: PERCEPTION IN THE YELLOW SPRINGS (PART 2)

He glanced again at that human monster, vaguely distinguishing that it was a robust, unfamiliar man. He had no idea where this human had come from or when he had died. Nevertheless, he didn’t worry much about it and instead found another spot to dive into the Huangquan water.

Below the Huangquan water, everything was blurry, but the chaos inside was just as intense as above. Countless massive desolate beasts were fighting each other, with no place left untouched by battles.

Xiang Beifei dodged a ten-meter-long swordfish’s stinger and continued swimming downward. Below, it was impossible to discern the scenery with his eyes; he relied on his Orifice Perception.

As long as he spread out his Orifice Perception, the surroundings were still barely discernible. Because of his Taoist Body, his Orifice Perception was very special. Even when swimming in water, it wouldn’t cause anomalies, since the water was already chaotic, and his disturbance was insignificant.

Despite swimming in Huangquan for a long time and constantly avoiding the powerful underwater Huangquan monsters, he still found nothing.

"How do I even search here?"

Xiang Beifei felt a bit distressed, then dodged something unknown with a blood-red mouth, continuing to survey his surroundings.

He wanted to extract the Yu Divine Stele to stabilize this Huangquan sea area, then search carefully for the location of the Huangquan Hell. But he held back, knowing that if he drew out the Eternal Night Demon King, rescuing people would be even harder.

However, without finding a way, continuing blindly like this was just a waste of time.

At this moment, Xiang Beifei suddenly perceived something, his spirit invigorated!

It was breath soil!

Just days ago, while dealing with those Meat-Winged Monsters, he had killed quite a few.

After being killed, the Meat-Winged Monsters didn’t vanish but transformed into a pool of Huangquan water. According to Kari, after their death, their bodies return to Huangquan, because they are a race sacrificed to Huangquan.

At the time, to track the Source of the Netherworld, Xiang Beifei deliberately scattered some breath soil, allowing it to integrate into the Meat-Winged Monsters’ corpse water, letting these corpse waters carry away the breath soil particles.

For a while, Xiang Beifei hadn’t sensed the breath soil, but now he suddenly did.

"Woof woof!"

Xiaohei sensed it too, his eyes lighting up, looking in the direction to the left. But a gigantic claw was swiping their way from the left, and they quickly dodged.

"Let’s go, this way."

In the Huangquan water, Xiang Beifei was like a nimble fish, continuously weaving through the battling Huangquan monsters. But no matter how agile, there are times one gets overturned; a massive fish fin suddenly appeared, flipping them over!

This place was filled with battles of Heavenly Connection-level strength, and in such a battleground, one couldn’t act yet stay uninvolved. Even Xiang Beifei couldn’t manage completely.

He hurriedly stabilized himself, yet in a split second, a giant mouth swallowed him whole. Xiang Beifei didn’t even know what desolate beast had devoured him; he only sensed rows of sharp teeth slicing towards him from above.

Those teeth were terrifying, like guillotines more than ten meters long, filling the entire upper palate of the mouth, threatening to grind Xiang Beifei into pieces.

"Damn eerie!"

Xiang Beifei cursed inwardly. The monster’s mouth was packed so tightly with teeth that there was no room for evasion. Prey caught in such a densely toothed mouth would be gnawed into minced meat almost instantly.

This time, escape was impossible. The strength of these Huangquan monsters was no joke; dodging was futile, action was necessary.

Thunk!

Xiaohei quickly smashed the brick together, the brick immediately radiating golden formations, which spread along the teeth and immobilized the giant mouth of the Huangquan monster. The monster’s teeth halted mid-air, unable to bite further.

"Woof woof."

Xiaohei angrily wanted to rush over and deal with these Huangquan monsters, but just then, Xiang Beifei noticed something was wrong. He discovered an alarming and powerful Divine Sense suddenly awakening, surging towards them!

"Xiaohei, retract the brick quickly!"

Xiang Beifei shouted in a low voice, immediately flipping and darting out of the Huangquan monster’s mouth, wrapping himself securely with Orifice Perception.

At this moment, the powerful Divine Sense landed on the Huangquan monster, which had just regained movement. But before it could go mad again, a bizarre force bound it.

This power was like a vast and mighty mountain, suppressing the Huangquan monster. Even compared to this force, a Huangquan monster at the Heavenly Connection level was no match!

"Huh?"

A low voice emanated from within Huangquan, oppressive and silencing all the Huangquan monsters instantly. Terrified, they stopped their battling, starting to tremble in place.

To make so many powerful Huangquan monsters shudder, you can imagine how terrifying the owner of that voice must be!

Xiang Beifei already knew who this figure was.

The Eternal Night Demon King!

He hadn’t expected the Eternal Night Demon King’s senses to be so keen. It must be known he had just exerted a bit of power with the brick, and even while inside the mouth of a Huangquan monster, he hadn’t anticipated that such a small move would instantly alert the Eternal Night Demon King!

"Such powerful perception!"

Xiang Beifei’s previous caution paid off. Throughout this Huangquan sea area, he hadn’t interfered with the Huangquan monsters’ battles, nor had he acted, constantly evading.

Logically, in this vast boundless Huangquan sea, with thousands of Huangquan monsters engaged in fierce combat, the battlefield was a boiling pot, and here Xiang Beifei was as insignificant as a speck in the ocean.

Yet he was still detected.

Too eerie!

"Strange, how can there be an external force?"

The Eternal Night Demon King’s power scrutinized the Huangquan monster thoroughly but still found no anomaly. Then that force suddenly strengthened!

Boom!

The hundred-meter-long Huangquan monster, under that force, was crushed into Huangquan blood water in an instant!

Yet the Eternal Night Demon King still found no anomaly.

"Was I mistaken?"

The voice seemed to be talking to itself, and then that powerful force began targeting the surroundings, quickly sweeping over all the monster Divine Envoys, almost as if with a single thought—

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The seabed exploded like a blast, all the Huangquan monsters being crushed to bits, bursting into fragmented blood and bones. The impact from this blood water was immensely strong, knocking Xiang Beifei away!

Xiang Beifei held onto his Orifice Perception tightly, offering no resistance nor autonomous movement, letting the shockwaves sweep him, disguising himself as a piece of a Huangquan monster’s bone, relying on luck to see where it took him.

Because if he slightly used any force to resist, he would likely be instantly detected by the Eternal Night Demon King, facing such a powerful opponent, something would definitely go wrong!

He was pushed deeper into the seabed, without knowing where he was taken. Everything around was pitch black, his body burning in pain, his bones nearly collapsing.

Fortunately, his recovery ability and physical resilience were strong enough. If other Heavenly Connection practitioners were hit by such an impact, they would have been killed instantly!

About a quarter of an hour later, the Eternal Night Demon King seemed to stop his search, likely suspecting he was mistaken, considering that no other sages could infiltrate here. His power gradually retracted.

As the power dissipated, those Huangquan monsters crushed into fragmented bones and blood gradually reassembled their bodies. Without absolute power’s suppression, these Huangquan monsters roared again, resuming their furious battles.

Xiang Beifei lay still in the water for another half an hour, confirming there was no danger before slowly beginning to move his body, gradually shaking off the pain.

"Is this the power of the Eternal Night Demon King?"

Xiang Beifei frowned; the Eternal Night Demon King was incredibly powerful. In his view, even more so than three thousand years ago, during the battle against Daoist Qingyang in Hanxia!

This is quite troubling.

The Eternal Night Demon King clearly controls this Huangquan sea area and all the Huangquan monsters. Everything here operates under Huangquan’s power, extremely oppressive.

Even though Xiang Beifei’s crafted Orifice Perception could conceal itself from the Eternal Night Demon King’s detection, any external force could be noticed by him. So how exactly is he going to rescue Helian without being detected?
