Chapter 765: Beasts in the Sea, Endless Lava

Shang Xia had to push himself to the limit and sever the collection between the volcano and the giant clam before anything unexpected happened. He had no time to care about anything else.

Who would have thought that one of Lady Yu’s water chains would be wrapped around the giant clam at the moment?

The soft cracks rang like a hellish melody in her ears and she didn’t dare to completely withdraw her abilities.

That led to the next problem. Without withdrawing it, she wouldn’t just be handicapping herself against her opponent. As a first element Martial Dipper Realm expert, not using her full strength when facing a sea beast at the fifth rank might cause her to be thrown into a complete disadvantage.

Fortunately, she acted decisively. When the sea beast swam at them with frightening speed, she tore off one of her sleeves and used it to tie a knot around the clam.

The water chains she summoned were connected to her sleeves, and it was obvious her clothes weren’t ordinary treasures. The knot she tied seemed to possess some sealing properties and a trace of her dipper qi lingered on it.

Even though she was one sleeve short when dealing with the threat, she was able to move about freely now that she didn’t have to worry about the clam. With one of her arms exposed, she rushed straight for the sea beast. She tried to pull it away from the volcano in order to avoid disturbing Shang Xia.

Shang Xia shook his head helplessly while staring at the knot created by her sleeves. Even if she retrieved her water chain, he would have a way to stabilize the secret region contained in the giant clam.

Too bad she moved too quickly and Shang Xia could only swallow what he was about to say as she had already torn her sleeves earlier.

The tremors coming from the volcano became more obvious and Shang Xia could clearly feel the pressure building beneath the surface he released streams of fire qi back then.

Thick smoke bubbles started to rise and the signs that the volcano was about to erupt became even more obvious.

“What kind of massive hatred do they have against each other?” Shang Xia sighed.

Tapping the Five Element Ring before him, space started to twist and countless phantoms appeared.

Shang Xia Five Element Dipper Qi poured into the divine weapon and seemed to fuse completely with the spirituality it contained.

That was the yin yang transformation of the 5 elements!

A giant five colored light ring that was created from Shang Xia’s fate dipper essences emerged from one of the phantoms that was created.

The light ring was completely different from those that had appeared before. It looked corporeal and it seemed identical to the Five Element Ring floating before Shang Xia.

Upon closer examination, one would be able to discover the differences between the light ring and the Five Element Ring. The most obvious being the direction they were spinning!

That was the first time Shang Xia was switching the yin and yang alignment ever since reaching the breakthrough of his rank five arts. He was also trying to verify one of the guesses he had when he asked the Grandmaster Blacksmiths of the Hundred Weapons Mill to modify his Abyssal Blade.

Back then, the fate dipper essences he left behind were of the Yang alignment.

Even though he only left behind the Yang alignment fate dipper essences, he was certain that he would be able to transform it after reaching a certain level in his rank five arts. Not only would it not affect his combat prowess, it might also lead to several exquisite changes.

At that moment, he finally verified his guess. The rings spun in different directions but still seemed to resonate with each other. The space between the light rings froze completely.

With a simple flick of his sleeves, the rings landed on both sides of the giant clam. Everything between was frozen, including the secret region.

As that was happening, the rumbling of the volcano beneath became even more intense. Lava that glowed scarlet red spewed out and the temperature of the ocean started to rise rapidly.

The underwater supervolcano that was 30000 feet tall started to shake violently, causing the ocean floor to do the same. Dirt and sludge were thrown into the water and everything became murky. Strong underwater currents were swept up and started to flow rapidly in all directions.

Lava wasn’t just spewing out from the main vent of the volcano...

However, the region where Shang Xia had controlled seemed completely void of any activity. In the region between the 2 light rings, everything seemed to be frozen solid in space.

Was that a region of sealed space?!

Actually, Shang Xia would rather refer to the region as the Five Element Sealed Space or the Absolute Sealed Space.

He continued to direct the rings of light while casually sending out a ray of Geng Metal Dipper Qi. It transformed into a strand of Geng Metal Sword Qi the next instant and it shot past the connective region between the volcano and the giant clam.

If Lady Yu was present, she would probably scream in fright.

The region where Shang Xia was slowly separating earlier was severed in an instant with his crude method. With the Yin and Yang Light Rings containing the secret region, it remained completely intact. Even the vent it was connected to showed no signs of movement.

As the sea water continued to bubble and debris fell everywhere, a huge amount of lava started to float to the surface. Some also flowed down the sides of the volcano and not even the water in the ocean could slow its progress.

Shang Xia couldn’t help but frown. A volcano eruption was a natural occurrence, and even though it was a supervolcano and the might it contained was massive, there was no way it could harm him, a Martial Dipper Realm expert. There was also no point in trying to stop the heavenly phenomenon from happening.

The only thing that felt strange to him was the fact that there were no signs before the volcano erupted.

Also, from what he learned from Lady Yu, the location of the Tianya Pavilion was top secret. How could the Muhai Sect locate them?

He was unable to get an answer to his question that very instant and he planned to leave the area before doing anything. After all, it wasn’t easy to move a giant clam that was the size of a carriage that contained an entire secret region.

If he couldn’t leave in time...

A light flashed through Shang Xia’s eyes. He reached into the void before him and swiped violently downwards and a stream of Gui Water Dipper Qi congealed to form a giant palm. It reached thousands of feet into the erupting volcano and pulled.

By the time it appeared beside Shang Xia again, it brought over a crystal that shone a deep red, a ball of smoke that condensed from the eruption, and an inextinguishable flame that was dancing about before him.

“There really are treasures contained within!” Shang Xia gasped before keeping all 3 treasures.

They might not be Origin Dippers, but any treasure that Shang Xia felt were worth keeping definitely wouldn’t be bad.

As he directed the secret region away, his suppression of the vent of the volcano weakened. It started to bubble immediately as reddish-black lava burst into the sea. It rushed at him with a renewed vigor.

His attention might be on moving the giant clam, but the lava was unable to harm him in the slightest.

Just as Shang Xia was using his Water Element Dipper Qi to construct several formless water barriers before him, a frosty qi appeared from another direction and rushed at his back.

“Hmph, someone is messing around.” Shang Xia snorted once as the dipper qi protection barrier around him expanded. A five colored light emerged and destroyed any trace of the frosty qi.

The next moment, the light rings around the secret region was attacked by a strange force. It started to emit soft buzzing sounds.

“Interesting. Able to hide yourself in water and avoid my divine will... You even have the ability to destroy restrictions!” Shang Xia mumbled. Even though he didn’t know where the existence was hiding earlier, the moment it attacked the light rings, there was no way for it to avoid detection.

The light rings around the giant clam emitted brilliant rays of light as a small snake with silver scales appeared in the water. It started to race towards the depths of the ocean the moment it was discovered.

“That’s a Hidden Scaled Needle Snake! You can’t let it escape!” Lady Yu’s voice came from afar. Even though she was holding the sea beast back, she couldn’t fully ignore what was happening at Shang Xia’s side.

Even without her reminder, Shang Xia didn’t intend to let it escape easily.

He knew that it would be extremely difficult to catch the snake. That was because it had an innate ability to resist any sort of restrictions.

Capturing the snake might be an issue, but locating the person giving it the order...

Lady Yu retreated suddenly and her figure seemed extremely eye-catching in the depths of the ocean.

Shang Xia shot the water chain around the giant clam at her while expanding the range of the light rings. The next moment, the entire region dozens of miles wide was frozen.

He was only able to affect dozens of miles at the moment because, at the bottom of the ocean, even experts at the Martial Dipper Realm would be restricted by the huge pressure. Their divine wills wouldn’t be able to spread as far either.

Under the terrifying might of his light rings, the volcano that was erupting seemed to turn a lot more calm. The Hidden Scale Needle Snake also froze mid swim, and it started to sink towards the bottom of the ocean. The sea beast chasing after Lady Yu turned to escape.

Even under such circumstances, the hidden expert from the Muhai Sect chose not to show himself.

Shooting each other a confused gaze, Shang Xia and Lady Yu turned to stare in the direction where the sea beast was escaping.

Could it be...
