Chapter 1598: Hai Lin (1/2)
Since the olden times, sea monsters have lived in the deep sea. In the beginning, they lacked intelligence but with the pa.s.sage of time, they began to evolve.
Later on, some demons and sea monsters mated and this expedited the process. They became smarter and built their own home.
Because of this, the sea monsters commonly known in the Grand Sea were the offsprings of demons and the old sea monsters.
However, these offsprings still maintained their unique characteristics even through the long years.
Due to this relations.h.i.+p, many in this region listed sea monsters together with the demon race. However, some sea demons rejected this notion. Thus, sea monsters became its own cla.s.sification instead of a particular race.
Nevertheless, these two different camps were still very close, sharing both glory and humiliation. Because of this, they gathered forces to fight against the invader, Soaring Immortal.
Hai Lin’s ancestor was rumored to be a gigantic dragon sleeping under the sea. Who knows if this was true or not, but he had golden draconic scales since birth along with a pair of green horns.
Perhaps it was due to his n.o.ble origin and great bloodline that he was very powerful since youth, capable of tearing apart his enemies.
As he grew older, his cultivation increased by leaps and bounds. As a teenager, he became the undisputed leader of the sea monsters’ young generation.
During the invasion, he became a great role model for the soldiers and used his trident to fight against Soaring Immortal. He also challenged Long Aotian but alas, he lost the fight and nearly died. His seniors had to save him.
Later on, no one could stop Soaring Immortal’s momentum so Hai Lin and his allies had to fight and retreat back to the sea. Long Aotian didn’t let up and gave chase so it was strange that Hai Lin was here now.
Back to the present, the elder loudly declared: “You are only a loser to my young lord, no need for him to become Immortal Emperor before killing you!”
“Is that so?” Hai Lin laughed: “I don’t know whether Aotian can kill me or not but I’m certain of one thing. I’m killing one of his hounds today!”
The crowd was amazed by his boldness. This was an elder from Soaring Immortal. How many people nowadays would dare to call one of them a hound?
The elder became livid and exclaimed: “Hai Lin, cease your presumptuousness! One of us will die today!”
How could the elder endure this humiliation as a revered elder from the great Soaring Immortal Sect? Despite knowing that he was not Hai Lin’s match, he still had to fight.
“Perfect, taste my trident!” Hai Lin didn’t waste words and pierced straight at the elder.
“Activate!” The elder crazily roared and used his imperial laws. The figure of an Immortal Emperor emerged in the sky like a mountainous s.h.i.+eld. There were numerous imperial runes carved on this s.h.i.+eld with sonorous hymns.
It can be said that this elder was also a top expert in the contemporary. Many youths felt their knees shaking under the aura of an emperor and were instantly suppressed.
Alas, he was encountering the ferocious Hai Lin today. Hai Lin soared like a dragon in the sky. His trident seemingly turned into a dragon claw and mercilessly scratched the s.h.i.+eld.
“Boom!” The s.h.i.+eld shattered under this attack and the elder went flying from the impact. Lin Hao was shocked and quickly flew forward to catch his master.
Hai Lin’s power stunned the crowd. They didn’t think he would be so powerful; no wonder why he could survive after fighting against Long Aotian.
“Too bad for you. If you had an imperial weapon, you could struggle for a bit longer.” Hai Lin pointed his trident at the elder and uttered coldly.
Hai Lin might not be as powerful as Long Aotian but few could be his rivals among the young generation. Moreover, his pure and prestigious bloodline gave him a battle advantage over people at the same cultivation level. Lastly, the trident in his hand was a mighty ancient artifact.
Despite being from the depth of the sea as well, he didn’t come from the ancient heritage like Wolong Xuan. Nevertheless, his bloodline was still very exceptional.
“Do as you please.” The elder had a strong backbone and didn’t bother trying to escape.
