This Young Master is not Cannon Fodder Chapter 196

Did the anger at losing the dragon egg make Leviathan Ancestor lose his calm and ally himself with the other two demon clans to eliminate the cultivators? The answer was no.

It was true that Leviathan Ancestor wanted to cull out the cultivators in revenge, but he had not lost sight of his goal. Even if the thief stole the dragon egg he meticulously groomed, they would still need some time to process it or hatch it. During this time, Leviathan Ancestor wanted to force them out and reclaim the egg.

Loathe as he was to do so, Leviathan Ancestor placed himself in the thief's shoes and pondered what he would do after stealing the dragon egg. After hours of contemplation, Leviathan Ancestor decided that he would hide in a place with the most outstanding security, and what place was safer than in a group of cultivators? In addition, only the invaders had the ability to break into his Dragon Palace and steal the egg.

The Demon Cage Realm was the lair of demons, so the demons had an advantage over cultivators in knowing the terrain, so hiding in the land was more dangerous. Thankfully Leviathan Ancestor did not know about the Descending Immortal Embassy, and Tianyi didn't go there. Otherwise, his plan would have failed.

After hundreds of years of grooming the dragon egg, Leviathan Ancestor had long prepared anti-theft measures. Although it was successfully stolen, Leviathan Ancestor placed some tracking measures on the egg, but he couldn't sense the egg due to Tianyi's method and the Vast Heaven Islands. So Leviathan Ancestor planned to ruffle the cultivators to force out the thief who stole his dragon egg, hence his alliance with the Golden Crow Clan and Jade Rabbit Clan.

Naturally, Leviathan Ancestor didn't expect the Golden Crow Clan or Jade Rabbit Clan to obediently surrender the dragon egg once it was found, so he placed one of his demon elders within the army of demons he sent. That demon elder was equipped with a method to detect the dragon egg's aura if it was no longer blocked. His role was to steal the egg if discovered and return it to Leviathan Ancestor as quickly as possible.

When Dandan and Shuijin appeared, the sea demon elder had already detected him. He was shocked that the egg had already hatched and could already imagine Leviathan Ancestor's fury. However, just because the egg hatched didn't mean the sea demon elder would give up. Since he couldn't bring the egg, then he would bring the hatched being.

Dandan released a cute little roar upon sensing the sea demon charging at him and unleashed a beam formed from true qi of chaos towards the demon. The demon didn't try to block and slightly shifted its course and dodged the black beam.

Seeing that his first attack missed, Dandan unleashed several more black beams towards the sea demon elder, causing him to evade with his utmost ability, but he still couldn't prevent some parts of the beams from landing on his body. Luckily, the sea demon elder's shell was robust and was able to withstand the beams, but he wasn't unscathed as his shell's thickness had been shaved off by Dandan's black beam.

The sea demon elder roared in anger. His shell was his most prized possession. It could be compared to a cultivator's lifebound artifact, so any damages made the demon feel as if his heart was bleeding. However, he still had Leviathan Ancestor's mission, so he gritted his teeth and continued charging.

Once the sea demon elder reached a certain distance, he took out a strange net. Dandan immediately stiffened upon noticing the net. His instincts were telling him that the net was his nemesis.

Without waiting for Dandan to react, the sea demon elder threw the net. Once the net left his tentacles, it started to enlarge until it seemed to shroud the skies from Dandan's perspective. Dandan made a move to evade the net's range, but his body involuntarily froze.

Just as the net was about to capture Dandan, Dandan's body was suddenly yanked away, much to the surprise of the sea demon elder. The sea demon elder looked at the spider-like creature with untold seriousness, even as it bonked Dandan on the head with one of her legs.

The net was a treasure Leviathan Ancestor had created that had a suppression effect on those with dragon blood, but it had an effect on other demon bloodlines as well. Judging from Shuijing's action, the net did not affect her whatsoever. Having seen the battle earlier, the sea demon elder didn't believe Shuijin was a common demon.

What kind of creature is that? The sea demon elder pondered, but even as he did so, his actions did not stop. Since he couldn't catch Dandan due to Shuijing, then he'll catch both at once.

Upon seeing the net fall towards them once more, Shuijing whacked Dandan away like some pest before crawling through the air towards the sea demon elder, ignoring the giant net.

Arrogant little beast. The sea demon elder thought. In his eyes, once Shuijing was captured, then capturing Dandan was only a matter of time. However, man proposes, but heaven disposes. Or rather, demon proposes, but heaven disposes in this case.

Just as it seemed the net would capture Shuijing, the net passed through Shuijing as if she was just a mere illusion.

The sea demon elder tentacles wriggle in displeasure. He began to scan the surroundings, looking for Shuijing's true body. Earlier, he had been waiting for an opportune time during the two spiritual beasts and Serenewave Raven's battle to strike, so he had a rough understanding of the two spiritual beasts' abilities.

But the sea demon elder was wrong this time.

The sea demon elder's eyes bugged out when he suddenly felt a sudden force on his body that sent him flying. Eyeing the culprit, the sea demon elder had an expression of disbelief. How did it reach in front of me? Wasn't it an illusion?

Facing Shuijing, the sea demon elder adopted a never before seen seriousness. Although he had seen Serenewave Raven's defeat, the sea demon elder attributed the raven demon's defeat to his subpar mastery of water. In his eyes, compared to a true master of the water element, Serenewave Raven was lacking.

The sea demon elder fully pulled its body back into its shell, but he wasn't doing this for defense but offense. A navy blue bubble was blown out of the spiral shell's open and enlarged itself until it encapsulated an area over one a hundred kilometers in diameter.

The bubble formed a mini domain within the Vast Heaven Islands and sealed off all contact. Inside the domain, there was immense pressure on Dandan and Shuijing's bodies as if millions of tonnes of water were crushing them.

Damn, because of the cultivator's influence, I can't entirely release my Deep Sea Domain. The demon sea elder thought. Those at the advanced stage of the Unity Realm or equivalent were able to create a domain that increased the user's advantages while decreasing their opponent's powers. In video game terms, the user had a buff while the enemy got a debuff.

When advanced unity venerables fought, they often competed using their domains. The winner would be the one who nurtured a stronger dao seed. When the dao seed sprouted, that would be when they truly completed their dao and gave them the qualification to enter the seamless immortal realm. Most Unity Realm level existence could not form a dao seed, and most true immortals could not cause the seed to sprout. So the sea demon elder was rather talented among the demons, hence why Leviathan Ancestor sent him.

Within the sea demon elder's Deep Sea Domain, Dandan felt each and every moment took all his body's energy. It was as if his body was encased in a steel cage perfectly molded to his shape. With a roar that was smothered by the water-like qualities of the Deep Sea Domain, a black mist began to emit from Dandan's body.

What?! What is that black mist? How can it interfere with my Deep Sea Domain?! The sea demon elder showed a shocked expression as the top of his body exited the spiral shell. The interference has some similarities with the nine islands' domain, so the master of the nine islands snatched the ancestor's dragon egg?

In contrast, Shuijing seemed to have met her match as her movements slowed to a crawl. As a result, the sea demon elder didn't pay much attention to her.

I better strengthen the Deep Sea Domain. The sea demon elder thought. Using his will, the Deep Sea Domain began to shrink until it was only half its former size. However, Dandan's black mist interference was still fighting against him, and Shuijing couldn't move at all as if she was frozen within an ice block.

Seeing that his Deep Sea Domain wasn't doing as much as he wanted, the sea demon elder decided to quickly capture Dandan and leave before any more unexpected events occurred. Shuijing was already immobilized, so this was his best chance to capture the pill dragon.

"Not good!" The sea demon elder spoke aloud as he detected that the Vast Heaven Island's domain was beginning to attack his. How could this be possible? Didn't the elder say that when the immortals invade, they will either send a group that has the power of true demons or ones that are just shy of demon elders? Obviously, most of the immortals are those equal to demons who have formed their demonic cores; no immortal at the true demon level had descended. How could there be someone with such a strong domain manipulation? Has something changed?

The sea demon elder thought, but his actions didn't stop. After capturing Dandan, he planned on escaping as soon as possible. He felt that if he didn't escape, he would likely fall at the Vast Heaven Islands.

Throwing out his net, unlike previous times, the sea demon elder successfully captured Dandan. As he was reeling back the net, the sea demon elder was shocked to discover that the black mist was corroding the net, an artifact the Leviathan Ancestor personally refined.

Sensing that the chances of Dandan escaping during the journey were a high possibility, qi surged from the demon elder's tentacle as he prepared to 'fix' the possibility.

However, just as the demon elder's tentacle was about to make contact with Dandan through the net, his mind suddenly became woozy. It was only a single moment, but this lapse of concentration allowed Dandan to escape from the net, much to the sea demon elder's fury.

Temporarily ignoring Dandan, the sea demon elder focused all his attention upon the apparently immobilized Shuijing. With a mighty roar that reverberated throughout the Deep Sea Domain, the sea demon began unleashing attack after attack upon Shuijing.

Aqua blades, underwater whirlpools, crushing sea pressure, the sea demon elder unleashed technique after technique upon Shuijing, but without fail, all of them would harmlessly phase through her. Seeing this, the sea demon elder wasn't surprised and continued attacking. Earlier, he had thought it was an illusion and made a mistake. He will not repeat the same mistake twice.

"Not good." The sea demon elder repeated as he looked up to see cracks in his domain. The damage wasn't from anything inside his domain but external influence. Gritting his teeth, the sea demon elder abandoned attacking Shuijing and charged towards Dandan, who was trying to escape the boundary of the Deep Sea Domain with little success.

The moment the sea demon elder launched the net out, there was a loud cracking sound, and the next instant, the Deep Sea Domain was filled with fissures. Simultaneously, blue blood leaked from his orifices. However, the sea demon elder ignored this and successfully captured Dandan for the second time. This time, he didn't needlessly try to limit Dandan's ability and tried to escape first. He could worry about Dandan's resistance later.

Damn spatial suppression! The sea demon elder thought. He was a sea demon, so his flying speed was slower than his swimming speed. If it were in the waters, his speed would have been over twice as fast even within the Vast Heaven Islands' domain.

Even now, the sea demon elder was less than halfway out of the domain of the Vast Heaven Islands. Should I use the treasure the ancestor gave me?

The sea demon elder suddenly stopped as the space in front of him twisted, and a human wearing a purple robe appeared. The human's eyes were so mesmerizing that he almost lost his concentration for a moment, but the demon quickly raised his guard.

"You have something that is mine." Tianyi raised his hand towards the sky, and the day turned to night. Or rather, it seemed that way to everyone within the Vast Heaven Islands as surging true qi of chaos encased the domain.

Bringing his hand downward, the true qi of chaos surged forward and engulfed the sea demon elder. The attack was too fast, too powerful, putting the demon on the defensive. Compared to Dandan's attack, Tianyi's was far more powerful and threatening, which was saying a lot.

He must be the thief who stole the dragon egg. With his dragon egg, he is completely suppressing me!No wonder he could massacre all the demons in Dragon Palace. The sea demon elder's conjecture was wrong. The only reason Tianyi's power surpassed the demon elder was because Tianyi was within the Vast Heaven Islands. If it were outside, Tianyi's power would have dramatically plummeted.

I'll have to use the trump card the ancestor gave me. Left at wit's end, the sea demon elder reached into his shell with one of his tentacles and brought out a large tooth.

Upon seeing the tooth, a sense of danger assaulted Tianyi, and he increased the frequency and strength of his attack, wanting to prevent the sea demon elder from doing anything. However, Tianyi was too late as the tentacle holding the tooth snapped it in half.

All of the beings with the Vast Heaven Islands stopped whatever they were doing to gaze at the sea demon elder and the apparition that appeared above him. A transparent and long serpentine body with scales larger than humans, a mouth with thousands of teeth, and slitted eyes full of power. This was the Leviathan Ancestor.

The Leviathan Ancestor's apparition gazed at Tianyi with no emotion. It opened its maws and gave a mighty roar that ringed in everyone's mind, causing them to clutch their head in pain as they felt their soul tremble, but this was only a side effect of Leviathan Ancestor's attack. From his mouth, numerous bubbles came forth and shot towards Tianyi like cannonballs.

Tianyi gritted his teeth and used the true qi of chaos to form a defensive formation. The formation only lasted a moment against Leviathan Ancestor's bubble before shattering and disappearing, but it bought Tianyi enough time to don his cosmic mantle.

Frowning, Tianyi discovered that he couldn't teleport himself out due to the suppression of space brought about by Leviathan Ancestor's attack. It seemed his pseudo-realm couldn't allow him to face off against a true immortal level foe.

Tianyi gritted his teeth and defended against the bubble. Optimally, Tianyi wanted to form his cosmic giant, but there was simply not enough time. He unleashed all of his palm, claw, and hand arts against the bubble charging towards him.

The first bubble caused his cosmic mantle to enter a tattered state.

The second bubble caused his cosmic mantle to disperse completely.

The third bubble caused numerous wounds and tears to appear on Tianyi's body.

The fourth bubble broke Tianyi's arm and struck Tianyi's torso.

Without the ability to resist any longer, the rest of the bubble consecutively struck Tianyi's body, causing him to puke black mist from his mouth.

When the ninth bubble struck Tianyi, his body exploded into true qi of chaos.
