The elders devised methods to make corresponding matches, solely to prevent the younger cultivators from recklessly seeking their own demise and to enable them to choose their opponents with clear heads.
At least Jiang Wang was very aware of his own capabilities.
Both of his Divine Skills were powerful, and he had no issues dealing with Commander-level Sea Clan members of the initial stage. It might even be feasible to challenge those at the intermediate stage. As for the high-stage Commander-level Sea Clan, the best strategy was to run away.
...
...
A robust Sea Clan member, draped in a black robe, soared through the sky, one hand gripping a spear.
The spear, made from the bones of some Sea Beast, was chillingly white and sharply pointed.
Normally, the Sea Clan bore a close resemblance to the Water Race, having human forms with Sea Clan characteristics such as armor, scales, or horns in certain places, differing with each individual. Only after revealing their true Sea Lord form would they undergo a completely different transformation, edging close to a bestial shape.
When the Sea Clan’s ancient sages created the true Sea Lord form, they referred to ferocious Sea Beasts that once roamed the Cang Sea. Of course, most Sea Beasts are now tamed, and the Sea Clan undeniably dominates the Cang Sea.
Not far in front of the black-robed Sea Clan member was a single-horned, four-finned fish, eyeing him as if itching for a fight.
"Why are there so many Sea Beasts?" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
The Sea Clan member’s voice was low. His empty left hand suddenly reached forward, conjuring numerous Water Ropes out of thin air, tightly binding the single-horned, four-finned fish, which struggled futilely to escape.
This was the second Sea Beast he had encountered within a moment. Given the massive size of Sea Beasts, this area seemed unusually crowded with them.
He pulled the single-horned, four-finned fish closer to examine it carefully.
But just then, someone suddenly leaped out from behind him, sword thrust fiercely aimed at his Heavenly Spirit.
"I knew there was a problem!" The black-robed Sea Clan member, well-prepared, flipped his spear around and stabbed back, meeting the sword tip head-on, "You lowly slaves only know these kinds of sneaky tricks!"
As he turned his spear, another figure seemed to leap out of thin air not far in front of him.
With fingers wide open, the figure launched a powerful Instantaneous Dao Art at his face.
Countless Flame Sparrows, conjured by the power of Path Origin, flitted about, chirping incessantly.
Their chirps played eight different musical instruments.
Mingled together, these sounds created the noise of a roaring tide!
Woosh! Waves swept across.
The roaring fire engulfed him in an instant.
This Dao Technique was both a sea of fire and a tide of sound, intense flames harmonized with ocean tides.
It was the superior-grade Eight Fire Sea, an Outer Building-level Dao Technique.
Encompassing all, intent on slaughter!
The black-robed Sea Clan member did not know that the other Sea Beast he had encountered half a moment earlier was also under Jiang Wang’s control.
From what he had seen before the Soul Stealth Snake vanished, the man was already lying in ambush here.
The single-horned, four-finned fish was merely a distraction, as was the illusion created by the Red Mirror, meant to attract attention.
Jiang Wang, cloaked in Hidden Clothes, remained still as his adversary approached, first controlling the single-horned, four-finned fish to struggle, then using the illusory figure from the Red Mirror to attack.
It was when the black-robed Sea Clan’s attention was completely diverted that he suddenly made his move!
The grand Eight Fire Sea swept over everything, leaving behind only a few charred chunks and the cold tip of a spear.
This was merely a Commander-level Sea Clan member at the initial stage. Jiang Wang was confident he could kill him outright, especially with a well-prepared surprise attack, preventing the Sea Clan from even revealing its true Sea Lord form.
After collecting the spearhead, he didn’t linger, for he was in debt after using so many talismanic scripts from Yan Fu, and he could not afford to overlook any gains.
However, Sea Clan members were generally poor. This was the fifth initial-stage Commander-level Sea Clan he had killed, and the only loot was this spearhead—the other four didn’t even have weapons.
Suspended at Jiang Wang’s waist was a small, ancient-looking scroll. Opening it now would reveal the "four" inked on it had turned into a "five."
This was part of the Sea Boundary List linked to the Sea Tower, set up to record only the killings of Commander-level Sea Clan or higher. It was on him long before he fell into the Lost World.
"The Sea Boundary List" is a record kept by the Human Race in the Lost World, intrinsically powerful and a military national treasure. In the Lost World, however, it mostly serves to record merits.
Every act of slaying by a Human Race Cultivator was logged by the Sea Boundary List. The merits earned from the killings could be exchanged for resources on the Human Race’s various Floating Islands – Dao Yuan Stones, Myst Crystals, even Magic Artifacts and Cultivation Techniques.
The Major Sects used the gathered merits to distribute the joint benefits acquired in the Lost World.
Most Cultivators would choose to exchange their merits at the Floating Islands belonging to the Diao Hai Building, JueMing Island, and Yang Valley, given that these three were the strongest near the sea and had the richest stockpiles. Moreover, their ways were fair and honest.
Some Sects also had unique resources that could tempt some cultivators into making exchanges.
The Sea Boundary List first appeared during the mid-period of Ancient Times.
But through countless years of inheritance, with several destructions and restorations, it no longer resembled its original form.
In short, the Sea Boundary List had virtually witnessed the many years of warfare between the Human Race and Sea Clan.
Having secured the spearhead, Jiang Wang wasted no time and hurried elsewhere—his controlled Sea Beast had found another Commander-level Sea Clan member.
In just half a day, he had already killed five Commander-level Sea Clan members, a rate of efficiency that could not be considered slow.
But to Jiang Wang, it was still not enough. The number of Commander-level Sea Clan he intended to kill was one hundred!
