Chu Ming instinctively looked down at his chest, only to see that his chest had been hit directly by the tail of the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast, and it was drenched in blood. Fortunately, Chu Ming had cultivated the Ninth Layer of the Primordial Body Refining Technique, otherwise, just that single blow would have been enough to completely kill him.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming's vision darkened as the space confinement force suddenly intensified, rendering him immobile. Immediately, his vision darkened again, and a thick, long tail covered in pitch-black scales struck towards him with fury. Black space-time cracks extended in the air, and gray air currents surged wildly, forming whirlwinds of gray.

"Damn it!"

Chu Ming gasped, the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast was simply too powerful, he was no match for it. The giant force embedded in its tail was about to strike his body again.

In a flash, the blood essence above Chu Ming's dantian trembled violently. Immediately, numerous blood-colored phantoms flooded the space, and a surge of murderous aura wildly spread throughout the space.

"Six-armed Asura, come out!"

Roar!

The space rippled, and a blood-colored figure stepped out from the void, its terrifying momentum enveloped the entire sea area.

The Six-armed Asura had six arms and three heads, its appearance ferocious and grim. An ordinary martial artist would feel chills at just one glance.

Boom!

As soon as the Six-armed Asura appeared, under Chu Ming's guidance, it instantly raised its fist to meet the massive tail covered in pitch-black scales. The frightening punch created layers of illusions in the space, and the blood-red vortices frantically tore through the void.

Crack!

Boom!

The body of the Six-armed Asura collided with the giant tail of the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast, a dazzling force seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth erupted. Using the recoil of this tremendous force, Chu Ming's body began to retreat madly.

Having just fled a hundred meters away, in his line of sight, half of the Six-armed Asura's body was shattered, one head blew up, and three of its arms broke, with red murderous blood essence frantically surging.

Swoosh!

Chu Ming dared not let the Six-armed Asura stay outside any longer, and recalling it back into his dantian after blocking the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast's attack. Pfft!

The space trembled, and Chu Ming's body instantly appeared several miles away. Behind him, the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast pursued relentlessly like a shadow, spewing white bubbles from its nostrils towards Chu Ming. These explosions rocked the entire sea, killing many sea beasts that couldn't evade in time.

"I should be able to reach Yuanjiu City in half an hour!"

Chu Ming silently calculated that as long as he reached Yuanjiu City, even the Thousand Demon Palace's Palace Master wouldn't dare act rashly. Humankind and the Sea Race had a clear treaty agreement; the Sea Race wasn't allowed to step onto human territory without permission, while humans had more freedom. Humankind's strong individuals could roam freely in human territories and the sea as long as they didn't commit excessive acts.

Buzz!

The physical particles within Chu Ming's body trembled fiercely. His chest injuries were healing at a visible rate, and in just a dozen breaths, only faint white scars remained. However, this recovery was only for external injuries; Chu Ming's energy, spirit, and vitality could not recover promptly.

Boom!

A terrifying ripple surged, the space shook violently, and behind Chu Ming, a multicolored bubble appeared and shot towards him. The space layers stacked until it reached a horrifying degree almost instantly.

"I forgot about this guy!"

An electric flash passed through Chu Ming's mind. Immediately, his right hand reached into his Storage Ring, producing a palm-sized Flying Shuttle.

Boom!

The Flying Shuttle rapidly expanded, in the blink of an eye becoming large enough to accommodate one person. Chu Ming leaped onto it, turning into a stream of light as he fled towards the distance.

At that moment, the multicolored bubble landed, transforming into a sky-piercing light column on the sea surface, creating two massive sea pits. Waves surged madly towards the center, forming a pit thousands of meters deep with this multicolored bubble's impact.

"Phew!"

Chu Ming breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was now a Second Layer martial artist in the Realm of Transcendence, his speed was about ten times the speed of sound. But, with the Flying Shuttle, his speed reached an astonishing twenty times the speed of sound, his movement speed improved exponentially.

Boom boom boom!

The terrifying sound waves gradually faded into the distance, the gap between Chu Ming and the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast widened. In Chu Ming's line of sight, the Whale-devouring Ghost Beast became a tiny black dot.

Though he had narrowly escaped death, Chu Ming didn't dare relax the slightest bit. Until he left the North Sea completely, he couldn't consider himself truly safe.

Crack!

It seemed like a lightning bolt crossed the sky, and a young man in red clothes was frantically fleeing not far from Chu Ming. His blood and qi surged unstablely, clearly having used some impressive secret techniques.

Chu Ming squinted his eyes; the Thousand Demon Palace was out to kill every last one, it seems. Though the young man in red was injured, judging by his aura, his cultivation should be above the Second Layer of the Realm of Transcendence. Such cultivation at his age indicated he was certainly no unknown figure within the human race.

"Friend, I am a direct disciple of Blood Fiend Immortal. If you save my life, I am willing to give you all my wealth."

Seeing Chu Ming, a glimmer of hope flashed in the young man's bleak eyes, as if grasping the final lifeline, he shouted desperately.

Without waiting for Chu Ming's response, the young man crazily fled toward the Flying Shuttle. Perhaps due to his secret technique, he reached the same speed, twenty times the speed of sound, keeping pace with Chu Ming.

The young man was pale, his red clothing fluttering, though damaged in many spots, its glamorous appearance remained. His lips had a trace of gleaming red blood, and his body exuded an intense fire aura, indicating he had cultivated a Fire Attribute Technique to an extremely profound level.

"Twenty-third on the Transcendence List, Blood Prince!"

When Chu Ming saw the young man's appearance, a record of the Blood Prince's image flashed in his mind, identical to the young man before him.

The Blood Prince ranked twenty-third on the Transcendence List, an extraordinary talent. He once single-handedly suppressed a sect and a school. Blood Fiend Immortal, whose renown even surpassed the Blood Prince, was indeed a formidable martial artist ranked at the Ninth Layer of the Realm of Transcendence.

Crash crash crash!

Just as the Blood Prince was about to approach the Flying Shuttle, a flock of dark sea birds suddenly flew up from beneath the surface, their sharp aura shooting towards the sky, scaring the surrounding sea beasts into a frenzied retreat.

"Cannibal Crows?"

Chu Ming's face suddenly sank, a cold gleam flashed in his eyes.
