Chapter 2229: Cast Adrift in the Desert Sea, Destination Unknown
"This time, be cautious not to let the human-shaped beast find out. We’ll make our move once he’s severely injured from the bombardment."
The Beast Skin Old Man indeed feared the human-shaped beast would return to normal.
Therefore, he must pursue them again, monitoring the situation of the human-shaped beast. Before the beast recovers, it will inevitably be heavily injured by the Desert Sea Absolute Array, which will be the opportune moment for them to seize the treasure.
The Beast Skin Old Man didn’t know that Sikong Jing himself was only at the Emperor Martial King Realm...
They thought Sikong Jing was already a terrifying Holy Martial Demon Beast before he became demonized, which is why they had to go in. If they knew the truth, they could simply wait here.

On the other side, Sikong Jing, within the Desert Sea Absolute Array, continued to bombard the demonic intent on his body with the array’s power.
When he returned to the Third Stage of Holy Martial, he woke up and immediately noticed the three Beast Skin Old Men who had followed him, and Sikong Jing’s brow furrowed tightly.
"I can’t swallow any of them anymore; I almost couldn’t come back after swallowing one just now."
Sikong Jing murmured to himself, then continued, "But letting them guard around is too dangerous; they’ll discover I’m human, and they might even guess I’m the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sikong. It looks like I’ll have to take a risk."
Speaking quietly to himself, Sikong Jing’s gaze fell into the depths of the vast Desert Sea.
He took a deep breath and said, "Desert Sea Absolute Array, let me see how terrifying you actually are."
As he finished, Sikong Jing’s entire body wrapped in demonic intent as he fiercely plunged into the Desert Sea...
To avoid the threat from the trio of Beast Skin Old Men, he had to reach the depths of the Desert Sea Absolute Array, where they dared not set foot, and now Sikong Jing had no choice but to take risks; otherwise, he’d surely fall into their hands.
He can’t swallow anymore; really, he can’t!
Looking at Sikong Jing, this human-shaped beast’s back, the Beast Skin Old Man and his two companions exchanged glances. One of them asked, "Has this demon beast gone mad again? It’s heading further inside; should we pursue it?"
Two of them then looked towards the Beast Skin Old Man.
After blinking, the latter coldly said, "Chase him until we truly can’t anymore. I refuse to believe he’d dare keep going deeper within our reach; his realm isn’t that high..."
Clearly, the Beast Skin Old Man believed the human-shaped beast at the Third Stage of Holy Martial wouldn’t dare take too many risks.
The Beast Skin Old Man and others were chasers of Mr. and Mrs. Sikong.
Though they wanted to capture them, they also wished to leave this godforsaken Deserted Sea Forbidden Land, so they kept trying various approaches within the Desert Sea Absolute Array, seeking any gap to escape.
Thus, they had a profound understanding of the nearby absolute arrays, so they were still quite confident.
Alas, they didn’t know Sikong Jing had determined to evade them, so he had to shake them off by recklessly charging further into the depths, without caring about threats and bombardments.
Falling into the hands of the Beast Skin Old Man trio would mean certain death; going deeper within the absolute array is where survival lies.
Thus, the Beast Skin Old Man trio pursued him furiously, yet finally, after a long distance, they dared not continue. Any further, and they’d be reduced to dust.
Ahead, seeing they didn’t chase anymore, Sikong Jing stopped going deeper as well.
He could indeed sense the surrounding forces prevented the trio from advancing; the surrounding forces were frightening enough to be avoided by even Divine Martial beings.
Boom boom boom...
Amidst various terrifying bombardments, Sikong Jing’s realm continuously regressed...
To the Second Stage of Holy Martial, the First Stage of Holy Martial, eventually retreating to the Emperor Martial Realm.
And just as Sikong Jing fell to the Emperor Martial Stage...Kaboom!
The terrifying array power heavily slammed his body into the deep sea, and as Sikong Jing’s consciousness was just fully clear, he fainted instantly...
In an instant, he fell into boundless darkness.
Before sinking into the dark, Sikong Jing murmured, "I can’t die; I have many things to do, many people to protect, and I still need to pursue the life and death imprint of my parents. I must not die!"
With his murmuring voice...
The fish and little demon beasts in the sea, seemingly commanded by the Master of Ten Thousand Beasts, suddenly surrounded him, transforming him into a fish in the sea, no longer being bombarded by the absolute array.
This was Sikong Jing’s final technique for survival, after which he completely lost consciousness.
In the distance, within the Desert Sea Absolute Array, the Beast Skin Old Man trio stared intently in Sikong Jing’s direction, amidst the terrifying array power they could just see the overwhelming demonic qi bombarding down.
Finally, the human-shaped beast in their eyes was also completely slammed into the deep sea.
It seemed that he was already shattered completely!
After a long silence, one of them asked, "Should we try going in to find its space holy artifact?"
In their view, the human-shaped beast was completely destroyed by the array, with no chance of survival.
Even if he fell into the sea, there’s still the array’s power; his death would be even worse.
Listening to this subordinate’s words, the Beast Skin Old Man twitched and exclaimed irritably, "Forget it, let’s go back!"
The position where Sikong Jing was located was already somewhere they dared not set foot in, and now the space holy artifact undoubtedly fell into the depths of the Desert Sea, so how could they find it? The Beast Skin Old Man didn’t want to take such a huge risk for a space holy artifact.
"Damn, the demon beast is insanely crazy."
"Be cautious with such an entity next time; we’ve already lost two for nothing, damn!"
Before leaving, the Beast Skin Old Man cursed under his breath.
In his heart, the human-shaped beast was driven to extreme madness to escape demonization, and ultimately he failed, forever perishing in the Desert Sea as they gained nothing, losing two people in the process.
Such frustration!
Thus, amid curses, they returned to the snowy peaks of the secret realm left by Mr. and Mrs. Sikong, and of course, they could only sense the secret realm’s aura left by the Sikong couple.
With their power, they couldn’t open the secret realm.
They remained unaware that Sikong Jing, surrounded by fish, was floating about, drifting deeper into the Desert Sea Absolute Array, and they certainly didn’t know...
Suddenly, a group of black fish appeared, once more surrounding Sikong Jing’s body, taking him along without knowing where they were heading.
...
Within the Qianwang Holy Tower territory, led by Yao Yulou, the Thousand King opposition rode a large number of demon beasts, continuously fleeing.
Now, they were still trying to break through...
Under the lead of Changqing Venerable, the group easily broke through Fenglei City, afterwards continuing to escape outside Fenglei City, finally entering a mountain forest outside the Thousand Kings Territory.
Upon entering, a reverberating old voice boomed, "Everyone, follow me into the Qianyuan Soldier Killing Formation!"
As the words fell, silhouettes rushed out from the forest, prominently led by Old Xiu, Xiu Hanzi.
Simultaneously, Old Xiu was accompanied by He Congsheng, Qi Wuji, and Old Fat Head.
Behind them stood a cold-eyed woman, namely Su Yue Immortal.
Perched on Su Yue Immortal’s shoulder was a jade-green bird, the injured mysterious Holy Martial Demon Beast Yuluan.
Of course, also present was the Half-demon beast, Split Armor Flying Scorpion.
