Xu Nian used instant teleportation to appear directly in the depths of the ocean.
Based on his memory, he quickly determined that this was the territory of the Shark Clan.
Back then, Xu Nian had helped Lie Tian kill the original Shark Emperor and supported him to rise to the throne.
If nothing unexpected happened, the current Shark Emperor should still be Lie Tian.
Under Xu Nianâs spiritual sense, he quickly identified the location of the Shark Clanâs underground palace.
With a thought, Xu Nian once again used instant teleportation.
The next moment, Xu Nian appeared at the gate of the Shark Emperorâs underground palace.
"Who goes there!"
Two Shark Clan members stared at the suddenly appearing Xu Nian, first surprised, then blocking him with steel tridents.
"Let Lie Tian come see me." Xu Nian said casually to the two Shark Clan members.
These two were only at Battle General Level strength.
Killing them would be effortless for Xu Nian.
So he couldnât be bothered to argue with them.
"We donât have anyone named Lie Tian here; leave if you know whatâs good for you. This isnât a place you should be." One of them yelled.
The other Shark Clan member, however, looked puzzled.
Lie Tian, that name sounds familiar.
Seemed like heâd heard it somewhere before.
Xu Nian paused, then seemed to realize something, "Bring your Shark Emperor to see me."
The members of the Shark Emperorâs group might not know the name of their Shark Emperor, so when Xu Nian said Lie Tian, they naturally didnât know who he meant.
But when he said that, the faces of the two Shark Clan members changed.
This guy came looking for their Shark Emperor?
No, heâs looking for the Sky Splitting Shark Emperor!
Doesnât he know that the Sky Splitting Shark Emperor is already...
The two Shark Clan members exchanged a glance, seeming to come to a decision.
The one who had shouted at Xu Nian earlier yelled again, "Our Shark Emperor isnât someone you can see, youâd better scram if you know whatâs good for you!"
"Yes, you should leave; our Storm Shark Emperor is resting, and if you disturb him, youâll pay with your life." The other member hesitantly added.
"Storm Shark Emperor?" Xu Nian heard these words and saw the expressions of the two Shark Clan members, immediately understanding that something had happened to Lie Tian.
Without a second thought, he waved his sleeve, sending the two flying over a hundred miles away.
Xu Nian did not harm them, only sent them flying.
After all, these two had been advising him to leave, clearly out of concern for his safety.
Having sent them flying, Xu Nian headed straight for the Shark Clanâs main hall.
"Who goes there!"
Along the way, many Shark Clan powerhouses tried to block Xu Nian.
Each was effortlessly sent flying with a wave of Xu Nianâs hand.
These Shark Clan powerhouses were merely of Demon Emperor Realm, unable to resist Xu Nian.
"Supreme Battle Emperor!"
The Shark Clan strongmen were shocked, marveling at this youthâs power.
Xu Nian made his way unimpeded, directly arriving in the grand hall of the Shark Clanâs underground palace.
At this moment, many powerful individuals were gathered in the Shark Clanâs grand hall, including several of Supreme Demon Emperor Level.
Yet these Supreme Demon Emperors were entirely ignored by Xu Nian.
His gaze fell upon a middle-aged man in a golden dragon robe sitting above the hall.
This man wore a golden robe and had two long whiskers.
A cluster of golden scales adorned his forehead, his sharp gaze intimidating.
In his arms sat a beautiful woman.
This womanâs face showed defiance and hatred.
She was clearly being coerced.
Xu Nian recognized this woman; she was the former Shark Empress who had been involved with Lie Tian.
Xu Nian instantly saw that the Shark Empressâs cultivation had been sealed.
He was filled with emotion; before, Lie Tian had cuckolded the previous Shark Emperor, and now the same fate had befallen him.
Though this Shark Empress likely wasnât a willing participant, itâs clear she had been forced.
As for this new Shark Emperor, Xu Nian was a bit surprised.
This Shark Emperorâs capability wasnât low, having reached the Pseudo Tribulation Level of the Supreme Battle Emperor Realm.
Such cultivation meant without the worldâs restrictions, he would be a true Tribulation Crossing Realm expert.
The Tianhen Continentâs ocean, with its scarce spiritual energy, would find a Pseudo Heavenly Phenomenon already impressive, yet the Storm Shark Emperor reached Pseudo Tribulation, truly rare.
While Xu Nian assessed the Shark Emperor, the Storm Shark Emperor noticed Xu Nian but could not discern his cultivation, merely assuming he was a mere Supreme Battle Emperor, thus looking down on him.
The Shark Empress seemed surprised, her eyes lighting up briefly before dimming again.
She naturally recognized Xu Nian.
She had witnessed Xu Nian kill the former Shark Emperor, a scene etched into her memory.
Her brief hope was that Xu Nian, having a close relationship with Lie Tian, might save his life.
But considering Stormâs prowess, she dismissed the thought.
Now, she only wished Xu Nian would leave quickly and not lose his life in vain.
"Human, who are you?" the Storm Shark Emperor asked contemptuously.
"Who I am is none of your concern; I should be asking who you are?" Xu Nian coldly replied to the emperor on his lofty throne.
"Haha, who I am? You donât know me yet dare to come here?" The Storm Shark Emperor laughed.
The Supreme Battle Emperors in the hall laughed along.
They looked at Xu Nian as if he were already dead.
"Human, itâs been years since Iâve tasted human flesh. Itâs my birthday today; youâre just right for a feast. You asked who I am? Let me tell you, I am the emperor of the Shark Clan, known as Storm!" the Shark Emperor sneered.
The nine Supreme Battle Emperors in the hall also sneered.
"Shark Clanâs Emperor? Isnât Lie Tian the Shark Emperor?" Xu Nian feigned ignorance.
"You must leave! Lie Tian has been imprisoned by him; you canât defeat him, go quickly!" The Shark Empress cried out.
"Bitch!" The Storm Shark Emperor raged, slapping the Shark Empress across the face.
Xu Nian instantly grasped the situation.
It turned out Lie Tian wasnât dead, only imprisoned.
This, indeed, was good news.
"Hmph, since youâre here, donât think of leaving alive. Nine protectors, capture him for me, alive," the Storm Shark Emperor ordered.
"Yes!" The nine Supreme Battle Emperors shouted, encircling Xu Nian.
Xu Nian saw this and smiled slightly.
To think these nine, not even at Pseudo Tribulation, could stop him; they underestimated him.
But Xu Nian was curious.
When he visited the Shark Clan before, there werenât this many Supreme Battle Emperors.
In just a few years, their number had increased dramatically.
And they were all unfamiliar faces, where did these people come from?
Seeing this, the Shark Empress sighed inwardly.
Wasnât this guy clever?
How could he be so foolish now?
Even after her warning, he still wouldnât leave.
Now, escape seemed impossible.
"Is this our fate?" The Shark Empress despaired.
Soon, her expression froze, eyes wide in shock.
Xu Nian strolled leisurely, the nine Supreme Battle Emperors unable to approach, crushed into pulp as if struck by a force.
