Chapter 857 - Fight

A shockwave rippled through the water, smashing against Sage’s chest and hurling him backwards. The Jade Mantle sheathing his body crumbled, instantly losing a quarter of its capacity while blocking the attack that made a cracking sound, yet amplified loud enough to shatter bodies. He quickly recovered and darted away from his current position, avoiding a massive object that was falling down onto him from above. He dodged the object and then changed direction, swimming upwards. The huge obj...

Chapter 856 - Backup

With the giant sea turtle closing in on him, Sage chose to call upon his reinforcements. Fighting with his life on the line was said to be the best way to improve, but he had no desire to actually die. If the chances of his failure far outweighed the chances of success he would not hesitate to cheat. He’d been here long enough that many members of the Purple Mist Sect had completed comprehensive underwater combat training and they’d already been assembled and were ready to jump into actio...

Chapter 855 - Upset

After taking such a hard hit from the giant sea turtle, Sage could feel the worst of the damage to his internal organs already in the process of repairing themselves, but his enhanced healing was not very quick. It was an ability taken from a somewhat weak creature and he didn’t put a great focus upon it when he was making the Jade Sky Mantis. It was important to have this ability to recover in an emergency, but even if there weren’t any other abilities it still wouldn’t be able to heal...

Chapter 854 - Turtle

Fortunately, the sea turtle was still incapacitated as he swam away at full speed. Using the Inner World he had experienced the turtle’s life extremely rapidly. This experience was already a very rapid process with many years only taking seconds to pass by. It was also to his favor that he’d already lived many thousands of years upon the Inner World, which the turtle now had to live through. He wasn’t worried about the turtle now knowing all his secrets because he’d learned just how l...

Chapter 853 - Dangerous

After making it through the excruciating pain, he felt as if he fell into a void and lost all sense of self. There was only silence and darkness. He felt something restraining him and he struggled against it. He couldn’t move his limbs so he swung his head forward and there was a soft crack. Light suddenly flooded in from the hole he’d created and he kept ramming his head against it. He used his mouth to bite the hole bigger and then the barrier he was leaning against fell away. His body ...

Chapter 852 - Bee

The two of them had a couple more of the strange drinks and grew steadily more intoxicated. Sage’s drinks were twice the size of Bee’s, but not because of their vastly different physical strength. Instead, his mental cultivation gave him some resistance against the drink’s effects even when he was consciously allowing it to affect him. Normal Cultivators had to drink very powerful wines and also consciously allow it to build up within them. There were many techniques that Cultivators ha...

Chapter 851 - Drinking

The man consumed the free drink without giving Sage more than a little nod in thanks. There was not even a grunt shared from his end and after what seemed like an eternity of waiting, Sage finally noticed a pitying look from the bartender. It was at that moment that he realized his guess was incorrect. This man was in no mood at all to chat with anyone at all. He got up from his stool and was on the way to leave after that embarrassing display. He could just head to another one of the mixed b...

Chapter 850 - Beat

With the Hellmouth Ray defeated, Sage didn’t waste any time in sending it away to the Inner World just like the other beasts. He made sure to send it to one of the isolated bodies of water like some of the other troublesome beasts. The beast was in the sixth tier so it was supposed to be a challenge to battle, but Sage had been caught off guard by the sheer power of its speed law. He’d thought a Hellmouth Ray would have a law to empower its terrifying collection of teeth but he hadn’t e...

Chapter 849 - Ray

After taking the hit, Sage was in no mood to take more. While the Hellmouth Ray was circling back around for another attack run, Sage started swimming in the opposite direction. He wasn’t fast enough to escape from the ray, but that wasn’t his intention. Since he knew it was coming towards him, he could swim in the same direction that it was going in order to reduce the speed difference between them. If you were driving at 20 miles per hour and another car was coming up behind you at 60 m...

Chapter 848 - Collection

Since there no was no direct fighting allowed in the cities of the Depths, then Sage had no need to leave any powerful bodyguards at the Prosperity Company theater. The only real downside of doing business here was the expensive transportation fees. If their goods weren’t produced locally then it would be very expensive to ship them in from the Lang Clan. While he was here it would be extremely simple for him to bring things out from the Inner World, but there was a limit to the amount of g...

Chapter 847 - Brutal

Sage was surprised at how violent and brutal these two groups were with each other. He was no stranger to the visceral, but he was more used to it when it came to fighting with Demonic Beasts or when fighting for his life. Neither of these groups seemed pinned down or trapped. It was possible he missed that part of the conflict and one group or the other was backed into his position. Maybe the knights were too slow to escape? He wasn’t sure, but it seemed less like a battle over resources o...

Chapter 846 - Victorious

Then a tiny green light shot out of the cloud of sand and slammed into its eye, disappearing with a disgusting popping sound. Inside its eye cavity, that little green light stabbed two huge blades into the inside of the fish’s head, careful not to angle towards the palometa’s brain. The fish thrashed a few times and slammed its head up against the coral, but eventually it passed out and suddenly disappeared.

In place of the nearly two hundred foot long fish, there was a person cover...

Chapter 845 - Blood

Sage could never tell whether or not the next species he captured would be the one hiding a great secret in its ancestral memories or a powerful natural ability. He was always eager to catch new ones and explore the mysteries within. The researchers on the Inner World were invaluable in this regard as they could Merge with these different species to try new combinations and paths of development. Putting himself out of commission for a year on the Inner World to do a Merge meant that he would ...

Chapter 844 - Locked On

The cause of such a commotion was likely to be something interesting so Sage swam over with a powerful kick of his legs. The jade aura around his body was formed into a set of large flippers over his feet. It was just like how he formed forearm blades on his wrists, but on his ankles and in a different shape. It took a few years of practice on the Inner World, but that time was just a few moments for him in the outside world. At this time he was already able to reshape the Jade Mantle in doze...

Chapter 843 - New

Coral Shallows had a very different aesthetic from Deep Shore, but the population seemed just as diverse and also populated with the same floating octopus headed people. Deep Shore was filled with stone and smaller sea shells bonded into larger structures with what he could only describe as undersea cement. The Coral Shallows on the other hand was far more fantastical, instead of an undersea metropolis it was much more whimsical. Immense conch shells and snail shells hundreds of feet tall wer...

Chapter 842 - Sharing

Stuffed into the eaves of a two story home was a bundle of reeds, loose threads, and fluff stolen from pillows and mattresses. These castoffs were carefully arranged into a bird’s nest. Beneath a pair of eggs was a small golden ring. Despite the fact that Deep Shore was located underwater, a population of birds had still managed to thrive there. The city itself had an immense bubble of open air within it, which gave the scavenging birds enough leeway to thrive on the scraps of the city’s ...

Chapter 841 - Elsewhere

A man with golden eyes sat across from another man with blue hair. The two of them picked up the teacups in front of them and took a sip. A few long moments passed before the calm smile on the blue haired man’s face finally cracked and he had to break the silence.

“Are you going to tell me anything about where we are, or explain how you’re going to get me out of Deep Shore?”

Sage, the golden eyed man, answered the questions of Blue Tiger with a smile. With this lack of an ...

Chapter 840 - Cut Loose

Outside the Seashell Inn, the four Shadow Capes that had been following Blue Tiger around all day had been swapped out for others that were specialized for stakeouts. A few people on the street set up chairs in front of their windows while others were laying on roofs and watching every exit of the Seashell Inn as well as the many windows and balconies. There were many in the city that earned some side income from the Shadow Capes as watchers and a disturbing number of former targets that beca...

Chapter 839 - Altercation

The man called Blue Tiger appeared in a cloud of smoke. The colored gas dissipated rapidly when the invisible sphere that was holding it all in suddenly disappeared. The blue haired man had an annoyed look on his face as he stood up and stepped back from the table. He glared down from his now higher position, then turned on his heels and stalked away. At the same time, the golden eyed man still sitting at the table looked perturbed while calling after the fleeing Blue Tiger, “I hope you’l...

Chapter 838 - Pressured

After a dozen ferocious fights, Sage returned to Deep Shore to sell materials and gather more information. He had no need to worry about mental fatigue, since he had all the time he wanted in the Inner World to relax. He also didn’t have much to worry about for his physical body as he had the Universe Ring as a place of respite. His body was already quite powerful, and even had a naturally faster healing rate. When combined with a few alchemical pills tailored exactly to his needs by those ...

Chapter 837 - Fished

With these three ton fish swimming towards him from both directions and eager to snap him to shreds, Sage had only seconds to react. Each of their mouths were filled with a forest of daggers that they called teeth and if even a few of them raked his body as the two fish passed each other in opposite directions there was no way even his enhanced body could resist it. These two beasts were swirling with a law energy related to strength and their orca sized bodies were packed full of powerful mu...

Apologies

Sorry everyone, I came down with a terrible case of food sickness. I've had vertigo for the last few days and I can't look at a screen for more then a few minutes. I'll try to start posting again as soon as possible and attempt to make up for it next week.

Chapter 836 - Hunting

He rolled his shoulder backwards, twisting sideways and leaning over at the waist, narrowly avoiding the sharp point aimed towards his heart. His fingers snapped open, flattening into a rigid pattern to allow him to push against the water. The combination of tilting at the waist and pushing with his hands gave him enough impetus to save his hide. His legs kicked out together as one, like the flowing motion of a tail, propelling him out of reach of a second point that was aimed right at his sp...

Chapter 835 - Pearls

Since he was here anyway and battling Demonic Fish to search for improvement in his understanding of laws, he acted just like the others here did. The things he killed were made of valuable materials and the hunting they were doing formed a huge supply of raw materials that the locals happily engaged in business with them for. Sage had no idea where it was all going, but then he realized that it didn’t have to go anywhere. The majority of the materials they collected were in the fifth tier ...

Chapter 834 - Heart

The idea of injecting the laws into the body was far different from the natural process of forming a law body that Nascent Souls did. Instead of altering oneself to better align with the laws one has gained mastery over, it was a blind method of housing foreign energies. Without understanding there was no control, nor could there ever be a perfect integration. That said, it was also a future shortcut. The weaker owners of a Law Realm would want to study its developing laws and having those la...

Chapter 833 - Obtained

After making the decision to go along with Guan Zhenyan’s deal, Sage felt no anxiety or regret at all. He had already deliberated over this decision for a long time before making his choice, so now that he had there was no need to feel any unease. The great time dilation between the outside and the Inner World had greatly increased his decisiveness. It was a problem that he hypothesized that a person with super speed might face. If the world around you seemed to move at a snail’s pace wou...

Chapter 832 - Vision

The sheer power of the Timeless Master’s Eyes was the reason that most of this research was focused upon purely visual means. There was also the magic tool equivalent of speakers so that sounds could be replayed in ‘real time’ on the Inner World and carefully analyzed, but the other senses were far more difficult to share. For the sense of touch, they would have to enter a large booth filled with Qi that pressed up against them to replicate what Sage’s body felt. Since Spiritual Sense...

Chapter 831 - Tracking

Sage was powerful enough that he didn’t have to switch back and forth between Hindsight and Foresight, especially since that would waste a lot of time on his part. Every time he switched he would lose his ‘place’ and then have to rewind time again back to that same position. It was much like rewinding a video to a specific point in time, he could pause it or roll it forward and backward, but the rewind function didn’t have a timeline that he could use to jump to a specific time. Inste...

Chapter 830 - Vicious

The Broken Bronze Lionfish fell for his trap. Sage knew the beast’s philosophy of trading wounds and after giving it a test he used it to form his plan. Since it would never rest unless it could take one of its enemies with it, Sage worked to make the Silver Blackfish seem to be the most important enemy so that the lionfish would make the blackfish its main target of retaliation. If it was going to kill someone when it was defeated, then Sage gave it a target that could die over and over ag...

Chapter 829 - Lionfish

Sage shot forward, using his powerful physical body to clash with the huge body of the Broken Bronze Lionfish. The Silver Blackfish followed behind him and used the sharp edges of its silver fins as blades to attack. When the lionfish attacked towards him, Sage avoided the forty foot long sword fins, but when it attacked towards the Silver Blackfish, he moved in front of the fins and used his own forearm blades to block the attack. The Purple Mist Sect members spread out and didn’t attack u...
