King of Creation-Chapter 718 - 709: Mysterious Death Domain

"Kitten, remember, slow down a bit and fully suppress the Qi around you, you absolutely mustn’t be careless!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

In front of Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, only the size of a palm and with snowy white fur faintly interspersed with a few black stripes, floated in front of everyone. Hearing Ye Zhen’s instructions, it obediently nodded its head, its adorable appearance nearly overwhelming everyone with cuteness.

Hu Qingtong and Feng Qingyue’s gazes were firmly fixed on the Cloud Winged Tiger King, unwilling to look away, as if they wished they could hold it in their arms and stroke it.

By this time, there was no need for Ye Zhen to hide the fact that the Cloud Winged Tiger King could shrink to the size of a palm.

"Go!"

Following Ye Zhen’s low shout, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, with its exceedingly small wings, flapped gently, gathering a mass of Cloud Qi, which enveloped its entire body.

In an instant, the Cloud Winged Tiger King vanished, leaving only a wisp of vague Cloud Qi where it had been. Then, this wisp of Cloud Qi closely followed the fog about eight or nine meters above everyone’s heads, flying toward Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.

In that moment, Ye Zhen’s heart leapt to his throat.

Even though Yang Yiguan had tested several times, dead and living things differed; many Demon Beasts disregarded dead matter, and facing some, playing dead was even enough to escape.

Ye Zhen’s body was surrounded by Spiritual Power; he had pushed his Divine Soul to the maximum, ready to exert force at any moment to rescue the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

It wasn’t just Ye Zhen; everyone else was quite tense, especially Yang Yiguan, who couldn’t take his eyes off the drifting cloud of Cloud Qi.

He knew well that the experiment he conducted was vastly different from a living being floating by.

When that wisp of Cloud Qi drifted above the water’s surface of Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, everyone’s hearts jumped to their throats.

Whew!

After a few breaths, everyone let out a sigh of relief, with Feng Qingyue and Hu Qingtong both nervously patting their chests a bit.

The clump of Cloud Qi where the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was located had already floated over Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, still safe after a distance of more than a mile.

However, Ye Zhen’s torment had not ended; it was merely the beginning.

"Speed up a bit..." Ye Zhen commanded through his Divine Sense. In such a dangerous situation, if the speed was too slow, it would needlessly increase countless dangers.

Under Ye Zhen’s command, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten maintained its speed at a fairly moderate rate.

It wasn’t too fast, only one-tenth of its usual speed; too fast and the Spiritual Power Wave it created would be too large, easily attracting danger, nor was it too slow. At the current speed, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten should reach the opposite bank in half an hour.

As for when it could return, that depended on the speed of the Spirit Boat.

Watching the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten disappear, worry filled Yang Yiguan’s eyes.

In truth, when he had advised Ye Zhen earlier, he hadn’t mentioned an extremely important factor — that the Cloud Winged Tiger King would also be affected by the oppressive might of the near Spirit Beast Rank King of Sea Beasts, the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea.

Especially at the moment of spotting the Spirit Boat and descending towards it, this influence was immense.

A sudden discovery of terrifying oppression could cause the Cloud Winged Tiger King to panic and fly chaotically, then triggering attacks from the denizens of Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.

Especially since the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea is nearly at the Spirit Beast King Rank, such oppression, upon first contact, would cause even Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beasts to panic.

Even if Ye Zhen’s Cloud Winged Tiger King was exceptionally gifted, it only possessed Upper-Grade Earth Level Cultivation.

This was Yang Yiguan’s greatest concern; on the way there, he wasn’t overly worried.

Dozens of breaths later, the clump of Cloud Qi wrapping the Cloud Winged Tiger King completely disappeared from everyone’s sight.

All of them were Vein Forging Realm experts, who under clear conditions could easily see more than ten miles away. However, the mist here obstructed visibility, and the Cloud Qi cloud around the Cloud Winged Tiger King was rather small, vanishing from sight after flying six or seven miles.

Therefore, everyone’s gaze turned to Ye Zhen.

With a Blood Covenant, there is a strong Divine Soul Sensing between the demon servant and their master; whether the Cloud Winged Tiger King was safe was best known by Ye Zhen.

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s eyes were tightly shut, yet what he saw was a picture of unspeakable horror.

Through the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, Ye Zhen had an almost bird’s-eye view of the entire water surface, with various types of water plants swaying and all sorts of Water Beasts of different sizes continuously swimming around.

From time to time, a colossal Demon Beast would open its gaping maw, and water would rush in like floodwaters, and hundreds of water plants and small Water Beasts would follow the flow into their bellies.

Occasionally, evenly matched Demon Beasts would fight fiercely, blood flowing into rivers.

Before long, singular combat would turn into a melee, with bones strewn across the entire lake.

However, it wouldn’t take long before the bones that disappeared into the lake were devoured clean by the following Water Beasts, even the blood mixed into the water was ingested, and the lake’s surface would again become spotlessly clean.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s brow furrowed tightly, and his expression abruptly turned somewhat astonished.

In the view ahead of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, the lake’s surface had abruptly become rather bizarre.

Previously, the lake was teeming with life, with various water plants and Water Beasts composing a vivid world.

But this area of the lake was eerily empty.

As if it were a realm of death.

Within a few thousand kilometers of vision available to the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten, it unexpectedly found not a single living creature, a stark contrast to the crowded scene of Demon Beasts in the waters before.

What’s even weirder is that the scarce underwater plants, within this area, seemed to have lost their vitality as well.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s pupils drastically constricted.

Because from below the waters there suddenly rose a huge splash, and when it spread, it actually covered the entire field of view for the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten!

The range of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten’s vision also reached seven or eight miles in radius.

The bigger the body of an aquatic Demon Beast, the larger the splashes it causes when it moves.

Not seeing any shadow of a water beast meant that it was in the deep waters, and to cause such a huge splash within the depths, how terrifying must the size of this Demon Beast be?

Upon this thought, Ye Zhen abruptly drew in a cold breath.

The splashes gradually dispersed, and after flying forward another ten miles or so, the water area returned to normal, regained vitality, struggles resumed, and blood flowed once again.

Fortunately, amidst the constant major battles below, none of the Demon Beasts discovered the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten flying eight or nine meters above the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.

This situation continued until the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten flew about forty miles into the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, and the images in Ye Zhen’s Soul Sea gradually faded away.

In the Soul Sea of Ye Zhen, only the Divine Soul Waves of the Cloud Winged Tiger King remained.

This was the limit of shared vision between Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King, however, Ye Zhen was still able to clearly sense the situation of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

About 15 minutes later, when the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten flew about a hundred miles above the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, the most tormenting moment arrived.

Practically every moment, Ye Zhen’s anxiety was intensifying non-stop.

Because the connection of Divine Souls between Ye Zhen and the Cloud Winged Tiger King was getting weaker and weaker, the only thing Ye Zhen could sense was the increasingly faint Divine Soul Waves of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in his Soul Sea, proving that the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten was still alive.

If he hadn’t been able to sense this Divine Soul Wave, Ye Zhen would likely have rushed headlong towards the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake by now.

Never before had time seemed so unbearably long.

This was truly what they mean by every day feeling like a year!

Each breath felt as long as several hours.

The time that usually passed without notice was now incredibly slow.

Yang Yiguan, Feng Qingyue, and Hu Qingtong and others all saw Ye Zhen’s tension, especially Yang Yiguan and Feng Qingyue, who took the initiative to chat with Ye Zhen.

But no matter the topic, Ye Zhen was like an old monk in meditation, standing there motionless, moving only the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

It felt like decades had passed before suddenly, the Divine Soul of the Cloud Winged Tiger King in Ye Zhen’s mind violently fluctuated, causing his expression to become extremely tense.

At this moment, on the other end of the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake, a bone-white Spirit Boat, measuring seven hundred meters in length and over a hundred meters in width, appeared in the eyes of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten.

To be precise, it was in a mass of Cloud Qi about eight or nine meters above the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.

At the front and back of the Spirit Boat, a large dark green sphere was installed, with the faint oppressive aura they emitted causing the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten in the midst of the Cloud Qi to shiver slightly.

This Spirit Boat, at first glance, looked more like a monster. Around the body of the boat, the gunwale was inlaid with one huge curved beast tooth after another, and the faint traces of Evil Qi emanating from the beast teeth made it so that no creatures dared to move within a dozen miles of the boat.

Even if there were many significantly developed underwater plants nearby, under the suppression of the Spirit Boat, all of them were like zombies, not daring to move in the slightest.

The Cloud Qi in the sky trembled slightly and moved to directly above the center of the Spirit Boat, and then slowly descended.

Endless Evil Qi and oppressive force came rushing forth, causing the Cloud Qi around the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten to fluctuate violently.

At this time, the expression on Ye Zhen, who was nearly two hundred miles away, had become extremely tense.

In his Divine Soul Sensing, he could feel the Divine Soul of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten fluctuating non-stop, which often signified that the kitten had encountered danger.

In an instant, Ye Zhen’s eyes snapped open, his gaze as substantial as it shot out towards the distance, yearning to see through everything.

"What’s wrong? Has something gone wrong?" Everyone became tense due to the change in Ye Zhen’s expression.

Ye Zhen did not answer, his forehead’s veins suddenly bulged as he was trying hard to control himself, to restrain himself from rushing towards the Ten Thousand Spirit Lake.

After a long while, Ye Zhen’s expression suddenly relaxed.

Ye Zhen murmured, "The kitten, it might have succeeded..."

"What, succeeded?" Yang Yiguan showed a face of surprise.

If Yang Yiguan were to see the scene two hundred miles away, he might be even more astonished, possibly even shocked to the core.

After the initial fluctuation of the Divine Soul, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten landed on the Spirit Boat and acted as if it was walking in its own backyard, indifferent to the pressure from the Spirit Beast Rank equivalent, the Tiger Shark King of the Overturning Sea, making a mockery of it.

In a short while, the body of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten swiftly enlarged, slowly making its way to the stern of the boat and, with a fierce swipe of its paw, sent waves scattering as the Spirit Boat shot forward like an arrow!(To be continued.
