Even Ning Bufan, upon arriving, couldn't detect anything.
He had fought in Longyuan for many years and was naturally incredibly experienced. He had already used his skills to scout, but he couldn't see through the Shark Emperor's camouflage.
Unless one went deep into the sea, one couldn't see the Shark Emperor's true form!
However, the sea was already golden, and who would dare dive in unless they were truly insane...
This also made everyone instinctively ignore the crisis below.
Who would look for an enemy in a cesspool...
Just then, the Shark Emperor's calm eyes moved, as if its gaze pierced through the seawater, through the Silver Fox's extra-dimensional space, and directly looked at the hundreds of thousands of people.
A hint of mockery and chilling killing intent appeared in its eyes...
It had been half a month. Even though countless ferocious beasts were purifying the seawater, it had only stopped the situation from worsening; it hadn't resolved it completely.
This made the Shark Emperor's anger even greater...
Hum hum hum—
The Space Silver Fox was concentrating, fully focused on constructing a giant spatial passage. Its internal spatial energy surged out, even causing strange spatial sounds.
"Bunny, when will you be this strong?"
Chen Shu stroked the fat rabbit beside him, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Transporting hundreds of thousands of people across millions of miles could be described as divine power!
"Hoo hoo~~"
The Space Rabbit flicked its ears and pointed at the empty bottle in Ning Bufan's hand.
Clearly, it felt that with some medicine, it could also become this mighty...
Two hours later,
The Silver Fox's eyes dimmed, revealing fatigue and weakness.
Even its extra-dimensional space was flickering precariously, on the verge of collapsing.
Its power was being drained!
In front of the Silver Fox stood a colossal spatial gate, directly connecting to the distant Huaguo.
"Did it succeed?"
Ning Bufan's heart relaxed. He said,
"Everyone, the passage will remain open for about a day, which is enough for us to return to Huaguo!"
"Please proceed in an orderly fashion, no need to rush!"
Various King-level Beast Tamers appeared on both sides of the line, preventing anyone from breaking the rules and causing chaos.
Everyone lined up obediently, but their eyes were filled with excitement, and they couldn't help but cheer.
Ning Bufan looked towards the crowd and said,
"Chen Shu, you go first!"
"Principal, there's no need. Let everyone else go first..."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Otherwise, it'll look like you're getting special treatment."
"What are you thinking?"
Ning Bufan shook his head and said,
"I want you to test the passage first to see if there are any problems. If something goes wrong, you have the Space Rabbit to protect yourself."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. So he had been overthinking things...
He walked to the front of the crowd, looked at the massive passage, and without hesitation, prepared to leave with his contracted spirit.
The others watched intently, silently praying for a smooth departure...
"Principal, please protect Dali..."
Chen Shu spoke, as the passage before him was one-way and couldn't support his return.
"Go on."
Ning Bufan nodded and said, "I will personally escort him back."
With those words, Chen Shu was relieved and decisively took a step forward.
But in that instant, a sudden change occurred!
Boom!
The previously calm sea surface suddenly churned as if the entire sea had boiled over.
An immense amount of seawater, as if imbued with life, merged together, forming a colossal shark ten thousand meters in size!
And within the forehead of the giant shark, the Canghai Shark Emperor floated with a cold expression.
It seemed to be watching every human!
With a flick of its tail, the giant shark soared into the sky, and all around it, boundless seawater surged, threatening to engulf the heavens!
Boom!
In an instant, the Silver Fox's extra-dimensional space was forcefully shattered, unable to impede it in the slightest.
Hundreds of thousands of people were directly exposed to the giant shark's maw!
"Legendary creature?!"
Ning Bufan's expression changed drastically, and he instantly summoned his other three contracted spirits!
A hundred-meter-tall giant stood in mid-air, clad in silver armor, exuding a powerful aura!
With a thought, a vast defensive barrier appeared, like a magnificent silver city wall, blocking the front of the crowd.
The ten-thousand-meter giant shark roared, and a terrifying water element impact surged forth.
Boom boom boom!
The silver city wall was forcefully repelled by a hundred meters, but this gave the people time to retreat.
Under the Shark Emperor's control, the giant shark moved as if it had a mind of its own. It completely ignored the humans above and turned its attention to the spatial gate nearby!
"Roar!"
It opened its colossal maw and swallowed the entire passage!
"Damn beast!!"
Ning Bufan's expression turned furious, and he immediately ordered his contracted spirits to attack with full force.
Boom boom boom!
Various powerful skills were unleashed, but they couldn't make the giant shark retreat even half a step.
Even though Ning Bufan was known as the foremost expert below the legendary realm, there was still a vast difference between them and a legendary being...
"Tastes good..."
The Shark Emperor smacked its lips, as if crushing their hopes of escape. This brought it a sense of satisfaction.
"You are the strongest here, aren't you?"
The Shark Emperor's gaze was icy as it looked at Ning Bufan at the forefront, muttering to itself,
"Not legendary, but your strength is not bad. You are qualified to speak with this Emperor."
"..."
Ning Bufan's expression was cold, and he remained silent.
The two sides were mortal enemies, and there was no possibility of negotiation.
"Don't worry, I won't pursue you to extermination."
The Shark Emperor's gaze was indifferent, and it said,
"However, my territory has been polluted like this by you, and you killed hundreds of thousands of my subordinates. You must pay some price, right?"
"What do you want?"
"Simple!"
The Shark Emperor's expression was calm, and it said, "Everyone below the King level stays here, and only half of the King level remain!"
"As for you, you can leave. In fact, I'm not confident I can keep you here."
Ning Bufan's thoughts raced as he constantly pondered the possibility of escape.
With the old man being held back, there would be no support, and time was running out.
"Furthermore!"
The Shark Emperor's tone suddenly turned extremely cold, and it roared,
"There is also a person named Chen Shu who must die! If you voluntarily hand him over, all King levels can leave."
Despite its forceful actions, it did not wish to completely antagonize Huaguo.
"As expected, the target is me..."
Chen Shu's expression flickered. Looking at the imposing Shark Emperor, he showed no panic. A peculiar potion bottle materialized in his hand.
Inside, however, was not some miraculous potion, but a drop of green liquid...
"Brother has to poison you green today... or rather, poison you!"
