In a certain part of the sea, it seemed as if a void had been carved out.

Waves surged and attempted to fill the void.

However, as the seawater entered, it was intercepted by a force.

Blood dripped down, accompanied by cries of pain.

Jiang Hao stood above the young woman with the Heavenly Blade in his hand. His eyes shone with a divine glow.

He appraised her.

The moment the divine ability was activated, the other four people surrounded him.

Their power overwhelmed him and did not give him any time to escape.

They also prevented him from delivering another killing blow.

Boom!

Suddenly, three enormous mountains appeared.

A massive shield blocked the attacks.

It was the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield.

“What a powerful magic treasure… Break it!” The bald man’s eyes flickered, and his strongest attack burst forth. “Break it with all your might!”

Boom!

The giant sword slashed at the shield and sent shockwaves in all directions.

Immediately after, other attacks followed.

Within a few breaths, cracking sounds were heard.

The shield had numerous cracks.

Then, with a loud crash, the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield shattered into dozens of pieces and scattered everywhere.

At that moment, the protected area was revealed.

However, when they saw the scene inside, the four of them stopped and looked over icily.

In mid-air, a shriveled corpse was pinned by a spear.

An ethereal figure stood before it and laughed coldly. “We will meet again. At that time, you will get to know me better.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared.

The corpse also fell to the ground.

The four men’s faces turned grim, and their killing intent blazed like fire.

The setting sun painted the sky crimson as if it were dyed by their murderous aura.

“He ran away! It’s not easy to catch him again. I thought he was just an Immortal Human and the five of us would be safe together, but I underestimated him,” said the bald man in a low voice.

“What now?” asked the white-haired man.

The young man with the spear frowned. “If we failed once, capturing him again would be even harder. If he can escape once, he can escape again. With just the four of us, it will be even tougher to capture him.”

They had thought that with five of them in the True Immortal Realm, it would be easy to catch Smiling San Sheng, who they assumed would be in the Immortal Human Realm.

They had underestimated him.

They could handle those at the early stage of the True Immortal Realm, let alone the Immortal Human Realm.

“We’ll find others and continue to wait,” said the bald man.

“Should we go back?” asked the old man.

“It’s too late. The impact of this trip is too great. If we can’t kill Smiling San Sheng, we’ll die in a few years after the Great Era. We should find some experts and see if anyone is willing to join us,” the bald man said.

Their only hope was to capture Smiling San Sheng. If they failed, they would be helpless during the Great Era unless someone was willing to protect them.

After a moment of hesitation, he said, “We need a backup plan. If we can’t capture Smiling San Sheng, we should join another powerful faction. If we’re desperate, we can join The End of All Things. They might take us in. With the Great Era unfolding, no one would dare to provoke The End of All Things. However, we would have to live under their protection, do dangerous tasks, and rely on their favor.”

The other three thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Since things had come to this, there was no turning back.

They had understood the difficulty of capturing the one considered number one through the ages.

Even under such ambush, he had managed to kill one of them. She had been in the middle stage of the True Immortal Realm at that.

…

At the Heavenly Note Sect, a figure appeared in Jiang Hao’s courtyard.

As soon as he materialized, blood dripped to the ground.

Red blood pooled like water.

Jiang Hao stood rooted to the spot. His face was pale.

Then, his chest heaved.

Cough!

He spat out a mouthful of blood. He felt weak.

The combined attack of five True Immortals had severely injured him.

He had been wounded from the start, and the subsequent attacks had only worsened his condition.

Had it not been for the final strike, he would not have been this severely injured.

But he had to get information from the other party.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao sat down cross-legged. His hand holding the sword began to wither. His flesh wasted away.

He took out the Desolate Sea Pearl and began to suppress the aura of the silent pearl.

After that, the Sea God Pill appeared in his hand, and he swallowed it.

The medicinal pill melted in his body and began to heal his injuries.

The Sea God Pill fused with the immortal aura, and then it flowed through his body like a stream. Then, the stream grew stronger, like a river, and soon, covered him like a sea. It quickly found the hole in his essence and repaired it.

Jiang Hao felt that this pill was amazing.

After all, he no longer had a mortal body, but a divine body tempered by immortal power.

Yet it still healed him as before.

Three days later, Jiang Hao slowly opened his eyes.

There was no change in his surroundings, and the spirit beast did not disturb him.

Seeing the bloodstains on him, Jiang Hao sighed.

Then, he activated his power, and the bloodstains vanished.

The ground was also cleansed.

Jiang Hao sighed heavily.

“I couldn’t recover the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield…”

He had used the shield to buy time to communicate with the golden ring.

Otherwise, there would not have been enough time.

As for the Immortal Mountain Sea Shield, it was not able to hold for long and shattered.

Those people were not fools. They would definitely take the fragments of the shield away.

He could only interrupt the regeneration of the shield.

The shield was still his for the time being. He did not know what would happen in the future.

“I’ve suffered great losses.”

He had almost exhausted his trump cards, yet he still was not their match.

Even if he used the No Regrets Technique, it would have been difficult to defeat them.

He would have been the one to die.

Sighing, he reviewed the feedback of the appraisal.
