Chapter 1353: Chapter 1353 Wyatt Barnes Goes Missing

"Wyatt, brother!"

Faced with the mighty suction, Karina Hanson barely managed to stop her own movement. Her complexion drastically changed after seeing Wyatt Barnes swallowed by the raging vortex on the sea surface.

Without any hesitation, she followed by plunging downwards, sending herself into the turbulent vortex.

Simultaneously, a strange bead appeared out of nowhere in her hand.

As soon as the bead came into her possession, she crushed it, and a solid rainbow beam shot up into the sky.

In an instant, the rainbow beam soared into the sky, lasting a good while before it finally dissipated.

Boom!

Karina Hanson rushed into the vortex, but the suction didn’t affect her; she was covered with a layer of transparent light shield that kept the surrounding seawater at bay.

Even in the vortex, she could control her own movements.

Inside the vortex, the turbulent and twisting seawater slapped against the transparent light shield, causing it to fluctuate, but Karina Hanson was too preoccupied to pay attention to these details.

Her face gloomy, she sped up, heading deeper towards the seabed along the vortex.

Before long, she reached the deep sea bed.

At the same time, she also saw the ’source’ of the vortex... A massive creature was crouching on the seabed, its gaping maw opening and closing, its twisting force turning the seawater into a vortex.

Some deep-sea fishes, unable to free themselves from the vortex, were swallowed one by one.

"A Sea Devouring Beast! How come there’s a Sea Devouring Beast here!"

Karina Hanson’s complexion changed dramatically as she exclaimed in shock, clearly recognizing the massive creature before her.

In the Martial Dao Sacred Land, there are two kinds of ’beasts’.

The first kind is Sacred Beasts.

The second kind is Savage Beasts.

Sacred Beasts, upon breaking through to the ’Innate Realm,’ can develop rudimentary intelligence, and even speak the human language and transform into human form... After transforming into humans, they are indistinguishable from real humans.

They can cultivate saint-grade martial arts, use sacred artifacts, and are classified as either Martial Artists or Taoist Cultivators.

Of course, as Sacred Beasts, they possess stronger bodies than ordinary humans... Some Sacred Beasts find their strength limited in human form, but once they revert to their original form, their power can be fully unleashed.

Savage Beasts, however, are different from ’Sacred Beasts.’

If Sacred Beasts are the favored children of the heavens... then Savage Beasts are the forsaken children of the heavens.

Unlike Sacred Beasts, even if they break through to the ’Transcending Mortal Realm,’ ’Entering the Saint Realm,’ or even the ’Saint Realm,’ Savage Beasts won’t develop the intelligence of humans.

They can’t speak human language, let alone transform into human form.

They, similar to the unawakened wild beasts and Fierce Beasts on the mainland of mortals, survive purely on instinct.

They follow the natural laws, the survival of the fittest, the concept of the strong preying on the weak.

However, although they lack intelligence and can’t transform into humans or cultivate human techniques, martial arts, or wield sacred artifacts like Sacred Beasts can, their cultivation speed is no less than that of Sacred Beasts.

Not only that, their physical bodies are much stronger than those of Sacred Beasts.

In a battle of the same rank between a Savage Beast and a Sacred Beast, even if the Sacred Beast transforms into a human, wields sacred artifacts, and uses saint-grade martial arts... it’s not necessarily the opponent of the Savage Beast.

The bodies of Savage Beasts are too powerful!

The weakest of them can be compared to the ’three-clawed Divine Dragon’ within the Dragonsmith Clan... The strongest ones can even be compared to the ’four-clawed Divine Dragon.’

For Savage Beasts, their body is their greatest reliance.

The battle instincts they’ve forged through hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of battles represent their strongest techniques, not inferior to saint-grade martial arts.

And now, the creature that appeared before Karina Hanson is one of the Savage Beasts.

The Sea Devouring Beast!

Karina Hanson could see that this was an early-stage Sea Devouring Beast of the Transcending Mortal Realm.

"Did you swallow brother Wyatt?"

Gazing at the massive creature before her, Karina Hanson’s face turned grim, as if covered with a layer of frost. The playfulness that was once in her eyes disappeared, replaced by a chilling killing intent.

"Miss."

Just as Karina Hanson was about to make a move, two respectful voices sounded in unison.

At the same time, two towering figures appeared behind Karina Hanson, bowing respectfully.

These were two tall middle-aged men, standing there like two iron towers. Their appearances were ordinary, looking like two extremely common men.

However, the mere fact that the turbulent seawater couldn’t disturb the transparent light shields around them ... revealed their strength far exceeded Karina Hanson’s!

"Kill it! But don’t injure Wyatt, who has been swallowed by it," Karina Hanson ordered coldly.

The two middle-aged men were summoned by the signal beam Karina Hanson released earlier. They were assigned by her father to protect her.

However, after leaving the Martial Dao Sacred Land, the two men had been ’lost’ by her in the seas south of the Martial Dao Sacred Land.

"Yes."

As soon as the words left Karina Hanson, one of the middle-aged men solemnly nodded and took a step forward.

With that single step, a streak of light shot out from beneath his foot, instantly piercing through the Sea Devouring Beast’s head, causing the massive creature to thunderously collapse, dead beyond doubt.

With the Sea Devouring Beast dead, the suction from its gaping maw dissipated.

Just as its gaping mouth was about to close, another middle-aged man vanished into thin air without a ripple in the water, an extremely eerie sight.

When he reappeared, he was already inside the Sea Devouring Beast’s gaping mouth.

Without any visible effort, he propped open the Sea Devouring Beast’s mouth... as he opened his hands wide, the body of the Sea Devouring Beast was gruesomely torn apart, starting from its gaping mouth.

However, a bloody scene did not ensue.

Because the remains and flesh of the Sea Devouring Beast had all been frozen like sculptures, falling like chunks of stone.

At the same time, the sea fish that had been swallowed and not yet digested were spared from misfortune and scattered in every direction, fleeing.

"Thank you, sir, for saving my life."

Inside the abdomen of the Sea Devouring Beast, there was an old man, who respectfully bowed and thanked the middle-aged man after coming out.

He was a shape-shifted demon, just happening to pass by when he unluckily encountered the Sea Devouring Beast and was swallowed... He thought he was sure to die, but unexpectedly, someone saved him.

"Where is Brother Wyatt?"

At this moment, Karina Hanson also approached the old man. She carefully scanned the surroundings, but couldn’t find any trace of Wyatt Barnes, her expression suddenly changing.

"Miss, this ’Sea Devouring Beast’ carries a mark left by a Demon Cultivator... It must have been controlled by a Demon Cultivator to come to this area. Otherwise, normally, there would be no Sea Devouring Beast here," said the middle-aged man who had killed the Sea Devouring Beast and frozen its flesh after taking a glance at the beast’s remains.

"Demon Cultivator?"

Upon hearing this, Karina Hanson’s face drastically changed, realizing this might not be a coincidence.

"When you were swallowed by the Sea Devouring Beast, did you see a person? A young man in purple robes?"

Karina Hanson took a deep breath, turned to the old man, and asked urgently.

"I did."

The old man nodded, "The moment I was swallowed, I saw a young man who had fainted and was almost swallowed after me... In the nick of time, I only saw a dark shadow flash by, and then the young man disappeared."

"Did a ’Demon Cultivator’ control this Sea Devouring Beast and take away Brother Wyatt?"

Karina Hanson’s thoughts quickly became clear, and she looked at the two middle-aged men beside her, ordering, "No matter what, we must find Brother Wyatt!"

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the two middle-aged men immediately split up in different directions, launching a search in the vast deep sea.

"Who would go to such lengths to take Brother Wyatt... If he can control an early-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Sea Devouring Beast, it means he must be at least a mid-stage Transcending Mortal Realm Demon Cultivator or stronger," said Karina Hanson to herself, with a thought flickering through her mind, "With his strength, even if he had taken Brother Wyatt away in broad daylight on the sea surface, it would not have been difficult."

"He has gone to such great lengths... There’s only one possibility! He fears me," she thought, drawing a sharp breath.

"This means... that Demon Cultivator knew I was present, which is why he couldn’t take Brother Wyatt. Hence, he controlled the Sea Devouring Beast to buy time."

Karina Hanson’s line of thought grew clearer and clearer.

"Emperor Yonah! It must be Emperor Yonah!"

Once her thoughts were clear, Karina Hanson immediately thought of ’Dominic King’, the figure who had previously occupied the Five-Clawed Demon Dragon’s body, now known as ’Emperor Yonah’.

"He’s already gone... With such great effort, he must be plotting something!"

Now, Karina Hanson almost confirmed that the person who kidnapped Wyatt Barnes was Emperor Yonah... However, for the moment, she could not fully comprehend why Emperor Yonah would do such a thing.

"If there’s something on Brother Wyatt that tempts him... It can only be the ’Demon Sealing Monument’. But even if it was offered to him, would he dare to accept it?"

The Demon Sealing Monument, it could be said, is the ’nemesis’ of Demon Cultivators.

The Demon Sealing Monument is called a ’superior sacred artifact’ and is listed in the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List precisely because of this characteristic... Apart from that, it has no advantages over other sacred artifacts.

Thinking so, Karina Hanson felt it was implausible.

"Could it be... the tower?"

Quickly, Karina Hanson recalled the small tower, which neither she nor Emperor Yonah could touch, yet Wyatt Barnes was able to interact with.

That small tower was clearly no ordinary item.

Even more so, she had a feeling.

That small tower was no less than any of the super sacred artifacts in the Top Ten Sacred Artifact List, including the ’Heavenly Tower’.

"If that’s the case... Brother Wyatt should be safe for now," she thought and was relieved.

"If I were him, wanting to seize the tower and even to force out its ’secrets’... I would definitely not let Brother Wyatt use the Demon Sealing Monument."

"After all, he is a Demon Cultivator... If Brother Wyatt used the Demon Sealing Monument, it would be enough to kill him."

"Therefore, the most likely scenario... is that he first gets hold of Brother Wyatt’s Storage Ring, then using mental power to erase the master’s mark on it," Karina Hanson calmed down gradually, deducing logically.

In the realm of mortals, the master’s mark on a Storage Ring is weak.

As long as one is a being above the Transcending Mortal Realm, they can forcibly erase the mark with mental power.
