Chapter 349: A Surprise in the Clam Opening

Check out the latest chapter of 'Yu Jiu Tian' on Novel Cool Notes!

Old Wang was on the verge of despair, but over there, killing Fu Liye hadn't been enough to satiate the Nine-Headed Dragon Haikula. Its nine heads bellowed towards the sky: "Roar roar roar roar roar!"

The terrifying sound made the surrounding seawater boil and churn violently. Old Wang felt like his ears were going to burst, and he desperately covered them with his hands, followed by...

Crash crash crash!

The violent clanking of chains echoed as the Nine-Headed Dragon Haikula's four claws suddenly thrust downward.

Boom~

A shockwave of terrifying force erupted, and its massive body soared into the air, as if struggling to escape the binding and suppression of the four divine statues. The huge body shot up into the sky at a terrifying speed, and the four chains were instantly pulled taut.

Snap!

The chains creaked under tension, and the Nine-Headed Dragon Haikula's body was suddenly yanked back in mid-air. Its massive body swayed in mid-air, shaking the entire island.

The chains, once dull and unremarkable, now gleamed with their true golden form as the layers of rust and gray spots cracked and fell off. The chains now shone with a golden brilliance, densely covered with runic marks that all lit up, forming massive golden runic discs, each as large as millstones, attached to the surface of the chains, making the four golden chains appear even more divine and majestic.

Though restrained by the four chains, Haikula refused to yield. In the stalemate, its nine heads roared with anger, and an even greater dragon's might thundered across the sky...

Roar roar roar... Boom boom boom... Crash crash crash...

Amidst its roars, the dragon's terrifying strength strained the chains, forcibly lifting the entire sunken island another one or two meters high. The surrounding seawater kept flowing outward. Old Wang, who had been standing in the sea moments ago, now stood on a shallow beach as the seabed beneath his feet shook violently.

The ten-mile-radius island seemed like a mere toy before this monstrous creature, easily pressed down and lifted up... This was the true terrifying power of moving mountains and seas.

The four chains were stretched to their breaking point, taut without a hint of slack, but the speed at which the gray stone shells were peeling off was accelerating, quickly spreading from the chains to the four divine statues!

Now, the stone shells encasing the four divine statues began to crack, revealing their golden, shining bodies, covered with runes just like the chains. Even more extreme, these four massive statues, each thirty to forty meters tall, were entirely forged from pure secret gold!

Old Wang gaped up, his eyes wide and gleaming, drool trickling down his chin. For a moment, he even forgot that he was trapped in the Soul Void Secret Realm with no way out.

Holy cow... how much secret gold is this? To be honest, secret gold isn't the most valuable, but it's far from cheap. Moreover, the demand for secret gold in society is enormous, and it's never been hard to sell. A palm-sized piece of secret gold could easily fetch a thousand euros, and these statues, each thirty to forty meters tall, were entirely made of secret gold. If he could haul one away, he'd be richer than a nation!

This was a fortune! Forgetting reality, Old Wang desperately wanted to grab one and run...

And at that moment, the stone shells on the four divine statues had completely peeled off. Their bodies were etched with intricate, menacing runes that now blazed to life, forming massive runic arrays, shining brilliantly!

And the next second, all this light instantly converged, gathering at the base of each chain held by the divine statues.

Buzz buzz buzz!

The light morphed into fearsome bolts of golden lightning, passing through the meter-thick chains to shock Haikula like an electric current!

Four Symbols Heavenly Lightning!

Four golden lightning bolts flashed along the chains, and in the blink of an eye, they converged on Haikula, who was being pulled by the chains.

Boom!

A terrifying phenomenon, as endless golden lightning flashed and danced in the air, forming a sea of golden thunder! Haikula writhed in this sea of thunder, its colossal body convulsing uncontrollably, emitting unwilling cries of despair.

A few seconds later, the sea of thunder still rippled in the high sky, but Haikula's massive body, now half-charred, fell downward.

Boom boom boom...

It barely landed on all fours, the golden scales on its back now dim, many of them charred black. Its limbs and abdomen were also covered in scorched wounds, with torn flesh exposed. The once-overbearing aura was mostly extinguished. Now, its nine heads barely lifted, looking unwillingly at the gradually fading sea of thunder in the sky, but it no longer had the strength to fight, finally letting out a roar of grief and anger: "Roar roar roar!"

These four divine statues are terrifying, with a runic array enveloping them. The NineHeaded Dragon, Haikula, was completely unable to attack outside the statues. Even if it spewed dragon breath, it would be blocked by the runic shields surrounding the four divine statues. It turns out that it wasn't just luck earlier; as long as one stood outside the four divine statues, Haikula absolutely couldn't harm them.

This realization made him feel a lot better. Such a fearsome and powerful being was firmly suppressed. Seeing the look of indignation on its face, Old Wang finally felt a bit of satisfaction.

Serves you right for killing my brother and destroying my soul power array! No matter how strong you are, I can't get out, and you can't move either!

Suppressed well, serves you right!

Old Wang was secretly gloating, but the next second, the indignant roar ceased, and the nine heads suddenly turned in unison, looking towards Old Wang standing on the shallows.

The scary divine eyes locked on, nine pairs of eyes as large as millstones, now fixed on Wang Feng, their expressions shifting, revealing a look of surprise.

If this had happened a few minutes earlier, Old Wang might have been scared stiff, but now...

He had already witnessed the power of the four divine statues, and the barrier surrounding the island provided protection. Even the NineHeaded Dragon's fierce attacks couldn't break through it. Standing outside the range of the four divine statues, Haikula couldn't possibly harm him. So, what was there to fear?

Not backing down, Old Wang unleashed his meager soul power, widening his eyes to glare back. In these times, the bold thrive while the timid perish.

He lightened up, treating this like a dungeon. No dungeon is unsolvable. The NineHeaded Dragon was clearly not something to be defeated by brute force; it required cunning. To seize a chance of survival in such a dire situation, one must not lose their nerve. Damn it, glare all you want, you just have more eyes than me, who's scared of who!

But then, the NineHeaded Dragon's surprised look turned to delight. The ferocity vanished, replaced by a gentle demeanor. One of its heads slightly raised, nodding slowly towards Old Wang, emitting a soft call: "Awoo..."

Old Wang had no clue what its ghostly language meant, but it seemed to be beckoning him over.

Hah!

Wang Feng sneered, spitting forward. This guy isn't the Sea Demon King, is the NineHeaded Dragon a drama queen? Just tricked Fu Liye into getting dealt with, and now trying to trick me? If I fall for your tricks, I'd be the biggest fool in the world. But in this situation, it's always good to communicate more with the boss.

The NineHeaded Dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, then it slowly retreated, the chains holding its front claws tightening, as if preparing to attack.

Old Wang found it amusing. This guy, acting like a drama queen, even knows how to scare people. After its full-force attack was blocked by the runic shields, why should I be afraid?

He widened his eyes, straightened his back, and pointed a finger at the NineHeaded Dragon, beckoning it: "Come over here!"

As soon as he spoke, the NineHeaded Dragon, with the chains tight, suddenly pulled back with tremendous force.

Boom!

Right away, the mountains shook and the ground trembled! Old Wang felt the seabed beneath his feet tilt sharply, the entire island slightly pulled askew, causing Wang Feng to stumble forward a few steps. Fortunately, the tilt wasn't severe, and he managed to steady himself just outside the barrier of the four divine statues.

Just a bit short.

Damn... Old Wang inwardly cursed his close call, but before he could straighten up, a massive wave sound came from behind. Without even turning around, his eyes widened, and his face turned green.

Boom!

The tilting and shaking of the seabed, caused by the NineHeaded Dragon, triggered a terrifying tsunami. Behind Old Wang, a wave rose up to seven or eight meters high, crashing down towards him.

The wave was huge, the tsunami fierce!

This was the NineHeaded Dragon Haikula, after all, so no big surprise. Manipulating sea winds and waves was child's play for the NineHeaded Dragon. Even if soul power couldn't penetrate, even if attacks couldn't reach, its sheer brute force was astonishing, using the entire island as a weapon!

The terrifying force of the wave was immense. Though not imbued with soul power, the sheer might of nature was beyond human resistance. Old Wang felt like a tiny boat in a storm, swept by the wave, rushing towards Haikula!

As Haikula's fierce head got closer, Old Wang's face turned as green as the Hulk.

Damn... this is game over!

The wave, neither too big nor too small, carried Old Wang right to Haikula's front.

Slap!

The Nine-Headed Dragon extended a claw and gently seized Old Wang, who was struggling on the wave's crest, trying to climb out.

Old Wang, grabbed by the waist, was immobilized. His hands pressed against the claw, feeling the rough and hard skin of the claw, with large bumps resembling sandpaper, causing his whole body to ache. Even without the dragon pulling hard, just the sandpaper-like texture felt like it could grind his skin off.

Whoosh...

As the wave receded, the wind whistled by his ears. Old Wang felt his body rapidly ascending, while the nine dragon heads pressed down in unison, coming close to his face.

Looking at the nine pairs of eyes the size of millstones right in front of him, smelling the foul drool dripping from the dragon's mouth...

"Hey..." Old Wang instantly adjusted his facial expression, showing the most gentle and friendly smile to the Nine-Headed Dragon: "I was only joking with you earlier, see, I've already come over as you requested... You're an ancient war god, a dragon of status and honor; you wouldn't trick me, right?"

Huff... Huff...

The Nine-Headed Dragon didn't make a sound, its breath heavy, eyes wide open, still fixed on Old Wang, making his scalp crawl.

"Ahem..." Old Wang was about to quickly say a few more nice words, but the next second, one of the Nine-Headed Dragon's heads suddenly leaned in, squinting its eyes, and gently nuzzled him.

What does this mean?

Old Wang was stunned. What does this mean?

Before he could react, he felt his body rapidly descending. In the blink of an eye, the Nine-Headed Dragon had placed him on the ground. At the same time, all nine heads approached affectionately, surrounding Old Wang, vying to nuzzle him as if seeking affection.

Even with the keen perception of the Insect God species, anyone, no matter how dull, could see that the Nine-Headed Dragon harbored no ill intent, even being extremely affectionate.

Old Wang finally exhaled the breath he had been holding, almost scared to death... turns out it was an acquaintance!

Seeing the friendly gesture, Old Wang quickly responded in kind, reaching out to pet the Nine-Headed Dragon's head. The dragon immediately displayed an expression of immense enjoyment. Besides the head close to Old Wang, the other heads joyfully lifted, emitting cheerful, crisp sounds.

Old Wang was both surprised and curious. Honestly, the Insect God species is indeed extraordinary, but not to this extent. He was certain he had no relation or friendship with this Nine-Headed Dragon. As for why it was so affectionate, Old Wang really couldn't understand, nor did he want to.

He patted the Nine-Headed Dragon's head, about to ask if he could leave, when one of the heads reached back and then brought down a huge silver clam towards him.

Thud~~~

The silver clam was gently placed in front of Old Wang.

"Ang..."

The Nine-Headed Dragon made a low sound, seemingly directed at the silver clam.

The clam trembled but didn't respond.

"Ang!" The Nine-Headed Dragon got angry, extending its two front claws into the clam's shell, forcibly prying it open.

Whoosh...

Old Wang felt a sudden burst of dazzling silver light. The clam meat was golden, but it was overshadowed by a silver-glowing pearl at its center.

Old Wang squinted, gradually adapting to the dazzling silver light, and when he saw the pearl clearly, his mouth slightly opened.

A fist-sized pearl lay quietly in the center of the clam meat, emitting waves of silver light, with an immense soul power radiating from it. On the pearl, three eyes, as deep as if from the netherworld, were arranged in a triangular pattern. This is...

Old Wang, ignoring the blinding light, suddenly widened his eyes.

The Nine-Eyed Soul Pearl!

This Nine-Eyed Soul Pearl has nine eyes, the energy and aura it contains are exactly the same as the single-eyed Soul Pearl he had obtained before. This...

This happiness came too suddenly. Honestly, among all the treasures in the world, nothing is more important to Old Wang than the Nine-Eyed Soul Pearl.

One Nine-Eyed Soul Pearl can fuse his soul, but it can't make up for the lack of soul power, making Old Wang's cultivation progress extremely slow, even unable to use many basic abilities of the Insect God's eye.
