Unrivaled Martial Emperor-Chapter 1595 - Young Master Whale

Once the barrier encasing the herbal garden island vanished, news swept through the Chaotic Demon Sea like a storm. Countless cultivators rushed into the once-sealed land; inevitably, many set their sights on the Demon Suppression Tower.

Some rogue cultivators and hunting teams were formidable, pushing forward step by step until they reached the sixth level. Consequently, the floor became a chaotic gathering of all sorts—mercenaries, lone experts, and opportunists mingled together. Murder and plunder erupted at every turn.

“A Soul Nascent Grass can be sold for a hundred thousand immortal stones outside. Everyone, be careful.”

The male leader’s eyes shone excitedly. His gaze upon the Soul Nascent Grass was not that of a cultivator admiring a rare spiritual treasure but of a pauper staring at a pile of immortal stones.

For them, let alone a hundred thousand immortal stones, even ten thousand immortal stones were a massive fortune.

Suddenly, one of them shouted, “Boss, the immortal herb’s escaping!”

The Soul Nascent Grass, radiating colorful light, ran into the depths of the forest as if it possessed spiritual wisdom.

“This Soul Nascent Grass isn’t an ordinary immortal herb. It can strengthen the consumer’s soul. Such immortal herbs are sentient, and they can hide from divine sense and flee once they sense danger,” explained the leader.

“Then, Boss, are we chasing it?”

“Are you stupid? Of course, we’re chasing it! That thing is worth a hundred thousand immortal stones!”

They had taken enormous risks to come here and had even lost a companion at the sixth-level Immortal Platform realm. How could they possibly retreat empty-handed now?

These people immediately chased the Soul Nascent Grass. Yet, when they arrived, they found that numerous cultivators had already assembled in a clearing within the forest.

At the center of this loose encirclement sat a spiritual herb glowing with prismatic divine light, so brilliant that it dominated the entire scene. It was none other than the Soul Nascent Grass.

“Shit!”

The group’s expressions changed when they saw this scene. They had never expected the escaping herb to be intercepted ahead of them.

Suddenly, a furious roar rang out.

“Roar!”

A golden saber-tooth tiger emerged from the forest, radiating an overwhelming, ferocious aura and gazing icily at the crowd.

It had guarded the Soul Nascent Grass for many years, but recently, one group after another had set their sights on its charge. Even though it clearly understood that it was greatly outnumbered, it still refused to retreat.

“There’s actually a saber-tooth tiger here! One in the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm! Heh, that’s a walking trove of treasure.”

Instead of fear, excitement flickered in the eyes of many present. To them, the tiger was no longer merely a powerful beast but a living collection of valuables. Its flesh, pelt, sinews, and bones were all first-rate materials.

Someone said, “We’ll kill this saber-tooth tiger first, then we can talk about how to split the Soul Nascent Grass.”

“Fine.”

“Let’s do that.”

Immediately, the nearby crowd came to an agreement.

Thus, sabers, spears, swords, halberds, and all kinds of martial torrents blasted toward the saber-tooth tiger, engulfing it.

“Roar!” The saber-tooth tiger let out a furious roar.

Although it possessed an extraordinary bloodline, it couldn’t withstand the attacks of so many people at once. The torrents of attack tore its flesh open, injuring it considerably.

However, the tiger’s counterattack was also extremely fierce. It opened its mouth wide and breathed out endless sword qi, killing over a dozen of the relatively weaker martial artists instantly.

“What a beast. It still dares to act so violently in front of us. Everyone, are you still going to hold back?”

Some people were enraged because they had lost their subordinates to the saber-tooth tiger’s attack.

Immediately, these people launched another wave of attacks upon the saber-tooth tiger with even greater ferocity, sending it flying and breaking its bones.

The saber-tooth tiger roared indignantly. It knew very well that reclaiming the Soul Nascent Grass alone was now impossible. If it continued to fight, it might lose its life here. With no other choice, it turned to withdraw.

Puchi!

However, just as the saber-tooth tiger was about to leave, a terrifying streak of saber qi shot from afar, flashing past the saber-tooth tiger and slicing it into two.

This sudden turn of events shocked the crowd. They quickly shifted their gazes toward the source of the attack.

There, an imposing figure streaked across the sky, radiating a fierce aura. Faint demonic qi surged from him, as he was an expert from the sea demon race.

“I’ll be taking this Soul Nascent Grass. You losers can get lost!”

His voice reached them even before he fully arrived, brazen and absolute, as if the herb had already been claimed.

“Who are you? The Soul Nascent Grass is yours just because you say so? Hmph, ever heard of ‘first come, first served?’”

Many of those gathered had no intention of backing down. After all, this was a rare immortal herb.

Once refined, it would fortify one’s soul. While it couldn’t instantly elevate cultivation, it could push back the boundaries of one’s future potential along the martial path.

“First come, first served?”

Thump!

The sea demon race expert swept over and landed with a rumble. He glanced disdainfully across the crowd and said, “I only know that whoever’s fist is bigger calls the shot.”

“Hmph, what arrogance!” A seventh-level Immortal Platform realm snorted coldly, having identified that this sea demon’s cultivation was also in the seventh-level Immortal Platform realm. The demon’s aura was indeed frightening; with so many allies at his side, why should he fear him?

“With that arrogance of yours, let’s see whether you can back that up.”

The seventh-level Immortal Platform realm struck instantly, unleashing a palm strike like a crashing wave, its might beyond description.”

“An ant dares to challenge a ferocious tiger’s majesty? You must not know what death is.” The sea demon expert sneered coldly, his expression somewhat vicious as he unleashed a punch.

His punch shattered the enormous palm seal as if it were fragile glass, and its remaining force slammed straight into the seventh-level expert, blasting him into a cloud of blood and gore.

Seeing this scene, the crowd sucked in a breath of cold air in shock.

This sea-demon expert actually killed an expert at the same cultivation level with a casual strike. Does that make any sense?

Suddenly, a shriek came from the crowd.

“Ah, I know who he is. He’s the sea whale tribe’s Young Master Whale, Jing Kai!” 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

All of a sudden, the others’ expressions changed.

The sea whale tribe was severely corrupted by demonic qi because of their proximity to the Chaotic Demon Sea’s inner sea and thus transformed into the sea demon race.

Young Master Whale, Jing Kai, was a young master-level figure on par with people like Shark Crown Prince, Young Master Hai Long, and Young Master Poison. No wonder he had such terrifying might that peers in the same realm couldn’t even survive a single exchange.

“Since you know who I am, get lost now,” Jing Kai said indifferently.
