Chapter 560: Chapter 558 Battle of Coral Sea Against a Horde of Demons

"Swish~~~"

Ning Daoran summoned a wisp of mana, retrieved the giant whale’s head from the storage bag, and then summoned the Spirit Cage Silk. The threads overlapped heavily, binding and tying this chopped pepper fish head to the side of the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat’s railing like wrapping a zongzi.

Immediately, splashes of seawater followed one after another.

The bone-eating fish in the water were born bloodthirsty. When they smelled the flesh and blood scent of the giant whale’s head, their eyes instantly bulged as they wildly wagged their tails and charged over,

These bone-eating fish are second-stage late-stage demon beasts, how eager they are for the flesh of third-tier late-stage demon beasts. The scene beside the railing instantly became extremely chaotic.

"Go!"

Ning Daoran lightly waved his hand, and twenty-four Golden Silk Swords turned into twenty-four golden rays, penetrating into the water, and soon, bone-eating fish were continuously flipping over, revealing their bellies.

’So it’s still fishing...’

Beside him, Little Bai was speechless, admitting that in this aspect, the young master was indeed an expert.

"Awooo~~"

Big Stupid Deer, seeing this, immediately jumped in to help.

Its Five-Colored Deer Chanting Technique can also kill invisibly. Complementing Ning Daoran’s Flying Sword attack, the death rate of the bone-eating fish below increased rapidly.

But the surrounding sea region was pitch-black, a bone-eating fish habitat. The strong scent of blood was like a detonated bomb, drawing countless bone-eating fish rushing over.

The scene here was unparalleled, surpassing even those fish-feeding sights at tourist spots.

’Oh my...’

Ning Daoran looked at the Demon-slaying Token, continuously glowing, feeling immense delight in his heart.

Though these bone-eating fish had absorbed vast amounts of spiritual energy from the deep sea, reaching the second-stage late-stage cultivation, their actual intelligence remained very low, akin to creatures with developed limbs but simple minds. Even witnessing their companions being killed was of no avail.

Many bone-eating fish even tore and devoured the corpses of their companions, treating this chaos as their own grand feast.

"Sizzle~~"

A flash of lightning appeared as Ning Daoran summoned dozens of Thunder Vines. When the lightning struck into the seawater, "zzzzz," high-voltage electricity ran rampant, instantly killing countless bone-eating fish!

Under high voltage, not a single bone-eating fish was spared.

"Hahaha, come on, come on, all of you, come on!"

Ning Daoran was somewhat manic, displaying none of the demeanor of a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator. With ten or so Thunder Vines in each hand, he thrashed into the seawater with crackling sounds, for the first time indulging in the joy of "electric fishing," almost unable to extricate himself.

"Awooo~~~"

Big Stupid Deer was also thrilled, jumping out of the boat with a "thud," stomping fiercely in the seawater. Its terrifying Nascent Soul Spirit Pressure killed countless bone-eating fish, though it too suffered from the Thunder Vine’s electric shock, momentarily revealing even the framework of its antlers. Its tongue lolling, it joyfully charged back onto the deck, prancing with crossed forepaws, shaking its head like a lion dancer, utterly exuberant.

Beside them, Little Bai facepalmed.

Admittedly... the Ning Family Army was indeed cohesive and formidable in combat. Yet, whenever the family head led, the cultivation scene seemed rather off.

She forcefully suppressed the impulse to join in their revelry, maintaining Ning Family Army’s final dash of grace and dignity.

...

In this sea region, Ning Daoran "electrofished" for a full seven to eight days, until he annihilated every bone-eating fish here, only then stopping.

At this point, his rank on the Demon Slayer List formally entered the sequence of twenty thousand names.

However, the rate of improvement had slowed...

Solely relying on killing Foundation Establishment Stage demon beasts to compete for ranking seems unlikely; the points gained from Foundation Establishment Stage demon souls were minimal. Even with small profits and quick returns, it hardly compared to the points provided by Golden Core Stage or Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts.

After realizing this, Ning Daoran dejectedly departed.

The plan to effortlessly rank first on the Demon Slayer List fell through.

The next phase began with Plan B—challenging those Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage demon beasts!

Hence, the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat sped into the depths of the vast sea.

Half a month later.

The Demon Spirit Treasure Boat entered the deep sea, where islands emerged from the water ahead. Initially coral reefs, over time they accumulated to form islands, though small, with some islands barely protruding more than a single stalagmite.

"Young master."

Little Bai flipped through the sea chart, softly saying, "The area ahead is known as the Coral Sea, deemed a Forbidden Land by the Returning Ruins Secret Realm. It’s said a large number of Golden Core Stage demon beasts dwell there, even Nascent Soul Stage cultivators are wary of this place."

"Coral Sea?"

Ning Daoran frowned, saying, "Sail forward, continue into the Coral Sea. Don’t worry, if we really encounter trouble, at worst we’ll abandon the ship and flee. What’s there to worry about?"

Little Bai rolled her eyes, saying, "Young master is absolutely right."

Consequently, the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat, fully powered, headed straight into the depths of the Coral Sea.

Ning Daoran sat at the bow, wearing a green robe, appearing extremely elegant.

"Hmm?"

Soon after, he slowly opened his eyes, having just captured an early-stage Golden Core Divine Sense probing the treasure boat, effortlessly detecting the deep-seated demon qi it harbored, indicating a Golden Core early-stage demon beast was investigating this area.

"Be cautious, this place is indeed unusual."

Ning Daoran suddenly ascended, activating the ship protection array of the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat.

"Something’s not right."

Little Bai leapt into the air, observing the water below, saying, "Young master, our navigation has greatly deviated; the currents here aren’t normal, seemingly drawn by some force."

"Yes, I feel it."

Ning Daoran pointed to the right, saying, "There’s a huge vortex over there, pulling our ship toward it."

"We still have a chance to escape now," Little Bai advised.

"Why flee?"

Ning Daoran lifted the Azure Dragon Spear, standing at the bow, declaring, "They are the ones who should flee! Everyone, hold tight!"

"Awooo~~~"

Big Stupid Deer stomped the deck excitedly. Big Brother was incredible, this fearless spirit was what they needed! Even Senior Brother Lin Sheng back then would have to bow in admiration!

The Demon Spirit Treasure Boat picked up speed with the current, soon revealing a huge black hole ahead.

Little Bai was right; it was indeed a deep-sea vortex. It looked as if there was a large hole in the seabed rock, with massive amounts of seawater pouring in. The vortex’s diameter was dozens of miles wide, and the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat was already being dragged in uncontrollably.

"Do you really want to be sucked into the vortex?"

At this moment, Ning Daoran glared at a distant group of Paperfolk, saying, "Stop being fools, full right rudder, power up, break out of the vortex, quickly!"

"Roar~~~"

A group of Paperfolk frantically worked, with some already rushing into the engine room to activate the propulsion settings.

"Hmph..."

Just then, a voice resonated from the vortex, "Why waste effort, Fellow Daoist? This Snail King Vortex is a forbidden place in the Coral Sea. Many Nascent Soul middle-stage great cultivators have perished here. Let alone you, merely at the Nascent Soul early stage!"

In the vortex, a woman holding an oil paper umbrella, dressed in a blue long skirt, appeared riding a reverse tide, smiling, "In this Snail King Vortex, countless Fellow Daoists from the Demon World await to savor your flesh!"

This woman was undoubtedly a demon!

And a Golden Core early-stage sea demon, transformed into such a beguiling form, truly a sin!

"Oh?"

Ning Daoran raised the Azure Dragon Spear, standing above the Demon Spirit Treasure Boat, narrowing his eyes with a smile, "I am quite eager to see who these Fellow Daoists from the Demon World are, whether they can withstand my Azure Dragon Spear."

"Such arrogance! Courting death!"

A decrepit figure voiced from the vortex, following which a demon dragon transformed into a gray-robed elder’s likeness, sneering, "Coral Sea was marked as forbidden by the Returning Ruins Immortal Land long ago, undisturbed by human cultivators for years. Who would’ve thought a reckless being like you would dare trespass seeking death? Very well, today you will die understanding."

Instantly, demon beast forms appeared throughout the vortex, most at the Golden Core early stage, some at mid-stage. The demon beasts dwelling in this Snail King Vortex primarily banked on quantity.

Indeed, due to their sheer numbers, with hundreds of Golden Core-stage demon beasts residing here, even human Nascent Soul stage cultivators gained no advantage, often exhausting their mana and being devoured here.

"Open the canopy and kill this oblivious brat!"

Amidst a screeching cry, an old demon hag emerged, clutching a cane, a green jiao tail swinging behind her, roaring, "Brat, since you dare enter this forbidden area, face your death!"

"Buzz~~~"

A strand of azure blue canopy unfurled above the vortex, enveloping over a hundred-mile area within.

Ning Daoran frowned; it was some ancient prohibition, quite similar to an array. As for its array power, it was approximately equivalent to a fourth-tier middle-grade defensive array, no wonder Nascent Soul stage great cultivators had perished here, trapped by this canopy.

However, this canopy couldn’t hinder Ning Daoran, who carried over thirty fourth-tier middle-grade Forbidden Breaking Talismans in his storage bag. Flinging them all would surely break the formation.

Thus, with such a fallback, why not engage these hundreds of demon beasts?

"Swish!"

His whole being surged with Dragon Demon Power, instantly cleaving the sea, holding a large Azure Dragon, he stood dozens of meters above the sea, calmly declaring, "I am here, come and get me!"

"This brat is overbearing, desiring death!"

An elder who transformed into a green-robed great demon roared, "Together, tear him to pieces!"

"Roar~~~"

Instantly, a horde of demon beasts charged from all directions within the vortex, a cursory glance revealing over three hundred Golden Core stage demon beasts. Fortunately, they were merely Golden Core stage demon beasts.

Ning Daoran held great confidence in his Golden Core slaying ability, and as for mana... with thirty layers of the Eternal Green Technique perpetually providing mana, coupled with over twenty drops of Nine Heavens Jade Dew, enough to manage!

Thus, a monumental scene manifested above the massive vortex, with hundreds of great demons converging onto one person, bursting into radiant light, yet the solitary figure remained unflinching. In his clear eyes, only the Demon Slayer List points gleamed!
