Does anyone actually Believes That My Master Is A Mortal?

In the midst of the endless Wangyang sea, a tremendous vortex suddenly formed. The vortex's area of coverage was extremely vast. The collapsing island, now only half its original size, was directly engulfed by it. Within the vortex, the remaining half of the island also began to collapse, with the collapsing parts being swept into the heart of the vortex. Chu Yuan instantly reacted, his figure shifting as he rose into the air, quickly taking Ao Ye with him as they soared upwards, to avoid being swept into the vortex. He stood in the firmament above, gazing at the enormous vortex below, and fell into deep thought. He couldn't understand what exactly was happening. It seemed like something within the vortex was about to emerge... And the air around them began to heat up considerably. But Chu Yuan had completely forgotten he was in a Soul State and couldn't feel cold or heat. Especially in an Invincible State. He couldn't feel the heat even more so. Yet the heat at this moment was so intense that it pierced through his Invincible State, allowing Chu Yuan to feel it, which indicated its terrifying nature. However, even if Chu Yuan could feel it, it only seemed a bit hot to him, at most just stifling. But the situation was different for Ao Ye. Ao Ye was just an ordinary member of the Demon Race in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. Under this intense heat, it almost made him collapse entirely. "Sect Master, what on earth is this..." Taking deep breaths, Ao Ye said with some difficulty. He really couldn't hold on much longer. This heat felt as though he was being roasted on a forge. It was as if both his body and soul were experiencing the searing sensation. "You don't know? How come you can't bear it?" Chu Yuan noticed Ao Ye's distress and asked with a raise of his eyebrow. "Sect Master, you possess vast divine skills, but I... I can't bear it, I really can't hold on much longer." Ao Ye's face had turned red. It was from being scalded. If he wasn't rescued soon, he felt like he'd become the first Canglong of Golden Cypress to be roasted alive in a very long time. Seeing this, Chu Yuan frowned. Why did he feel like bringing Ao Ye along was just holding him back? Despite his thoughts and disdain, he still had to save his mount. After all, in the midst of this boundless Wangyang sea, traveling alone was extremely boring. Chu Yuan could only look down at the Golden Halo around him and try to adjust some of it to protect Ao Ye. Following his will, the Golden Halo around him really started to respond. A portion of the Golden Halo from his arm flew out and enveloped Ao Ye. Ao Ye immediately let out a sigh of relief, clearly no longer feeling the heat. "It really works?" Chu Yuan looked at the faint Golden Halo around Ao Ye and felt a surge of surprise. Had he really managed to control his Invincible State? Was this an illusion? Why did he feel that ever since he became a Soul State, controlling the Invincible State had become much easier? "Thank you for saving me, Sect Master!" The now revitalized Ao Ye quickly approached, bowing in thanks to Chu Yuan. "You're not badly hurt, are you?" Chu Yuan looked at Ao Ye and asked. "Sect Master, I'm not too badly hurt." Ao Ye hurriedly responded. "Good, you're not badly hurt. Let's see, let's see what exactly is down there." Having said this, Chu Yuan spoke no more. His gaze was fixed on the undersea vortex below. He wanted to see what exactly would emerge from the depths of the vortex. Seeing that Chu Yuan had fallen silent, Ao Ye didn't dare to speak either. Both of them watched the vortex beneath the sea. Time trickled by, and the sea vortex grew ever so wide, making the searing heat suffusing the air increasingly terrifying. However, no matter how intense the heat became, it couldn't affect Chu Yuan and Ao Ye in the slightest. The Invincible State clearly disregarded all these factors. As the sky dimmed over the past few hours, the colossal vortex below finally underwent a change. Boom!! At the vortex's epicenter, as if something was on the verge of bursting forth, a thunderous roar erupted, sending countless waves skyward. Seeing this, Chu Yuan quickly pulled Ao Ye and flew a distance upward to avoid the crashing waves. He had no desire to become a drenched chicken. "Sect Master, it seems like something is about to emerge," Ao Ye said, his gaze fixed on the churning waves below. Chu Yuan, who heard this, couldn't help but roll his eyes. Who wouldn't know that something seemed to be emerging? It was such an obvious event that anyone with eyes could see it, right? Chu Yuan rolled his eyes and, not bothering to reply, kept his attention on the turbulent waves of the vortex below. "Sect Master, is that thing below from the Demon Race?" Ao Ye suddenly posed this question. "Hm? Why do you ask that?" Chu Yuan glanced sideways at Ao Ye and inquired. "I suddenly have this feeling, a feeling of a mortal enemy, as if there is a monster beneath this vortex that is a mortal enemy of our Dragon Clan." Ao Ye shook his head, giving this response. Once these words were spoken, Chu Yuan fell silent for a moment. Could it be that such a terrifying Great Demon resides within the vortex below? Or could it be that a slumbering Great Demon is here, now awakening, and all these vortexes and waves are signs of its reawakening? If these are indeed signs of its awakening... How overwhelming might it feel...? If it fully awakens, then how formidable would it be? He has the Invincible State, should be able to defeat it, right? Or maybe, before this creature emerges, he should let it taste the Golden Halo? Feasible. Chu Yuan immediately raised his hand, intending to fire a Golden Halo at the vortex below. Before Chu Yuan could even launch his attack, a huge phantom broke through the surge of the vortex and stood between heaven and earth. The moment this phantom appeared, a scorching radiance illuminated thousands of miles around. The darkness within thousands of miles was dispelled, and night turned into day. As the light shone, Chu Yuan felt his eyes prick, almost unable to keep them open. Only after enshrouding his eyes with the Invincible State did he feel significantly better. Chu Yuan looked towards the phantom again, now able to see it clearly. The phantom was... a tree? A very peculiar tree. But the phantom of this tree was colossally tall, thousands of feet towering between heaven and earth, like a pillar of the world. On the tree, there were many branches, each bearing a giant light bulb. The blinding light was emanating from these very light bulbs. "A tree, light bulbs? What even are these things?" Chu Yuan felt puzzled. But he could also see that the strange giant tree was not a solid entity, but merely a phantom. However, those light bulbs seemed almost tangible. Chu Yuan counted carefully. There were a total of ten light bulbs. Nine below, one above. All emitting blinding light. If Chu Yuan didn't possess the Invincible State, probably he wouldn't be able to see clearly at all. But after all, what were these light bulbs? Or maybe... he should try chopping one down with the Golden Halo to see?
