The reason he only rested for a short while before rushing to Sea God Island was that Jiang Chen was worried that Tang San would escape.
Five of the Shrek Seven Devils were already dead. Jiang Chen naturally would not allow Tang San and Xiao Wu to continue living.
As for those fellows from the God Realm, they could no longer do anything about him as he was now.
The Sea God and those few others had repeatedly spoken of descending with their true bodies. Jiang Chen did not take it to heart.
If they truly could descend, they would have already done so. How could they have allowed Jiang Chen to destroy their divine senses?
Jiang Chen set out at noon and had already entered the sea by evening.
Through the soul connection, he found the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
From the information transmitted by the Demonic Whale King, he learned that the three warships of the Spirit Empire had already returned to Hanhai City.
After also taking the Demonic Whale King into his battle pet space, Jiang Chen rapidly headed toward Sea God Island.
His vast divine sense spread out, sufficient to cover a large expanse of the vast sea.
When night fell, he had already arrived above Sea God Island.
His vast divine sense unscrupulously swept across the broad island below.
Jiang Chen's brows furrowed deeply. Just as he had expected earlier, Tang San had indeed slipped away.
Under the coverage of his divine sense, the spirit masters on Sea God Island were panic-stricken, continuously praying to the Sea God's statue.
Not only was Tang San absent, but the people of the Clear Sky Sect, Flender and the others, as well as Bo Saixi, were also nowhere to be found.
The highest-level spirit masters remaining on the entire Sea God Island were only at the Spirit Douluo level. All the Titled Douluo had disappeared without a trace.
Jiang Chen's expression was gloomy. He had still arrived one step too late.
He was worried whether Tang San and the others might have hidden on the Douluo Continent.
But from the earlier information transmitted by the Demonic Whale King, there had been no discovery of large groups of spirit masters heading to the Douluo Continent.
Jiang Chen stood in the air on Sea God Island and roared: "Sea God, you coward! If you have the guts, stop being a shrinking turtle and come out to fight me!"
The voice resounded across Sea God Island below and continued to carry farther away.
"How dare you! To actually challenge the majesty of Lord Sea God!" Several furious shouts rang out. Several figures rose from below, flapping their wings as they charged toward Jiang Chen.
These were several Spirit Douluo powerhouses from Sea God Island who possessed flying martial spirits.
Hearing Jiang Chen insult the Sea God, these devout believers could no longer endure it and intended to kill Jiang Chen on the spot.
Jiang Chen's gaze was extremely cold. A terrifying pressure erupted from his body.
Bang bang bang…
Several Spirit Douluo powerhouses exploded. Then their withered flesh and blood dregs fell downward, while their essence surged into Jiang Chen's body.
The fastest one had already flown in front of Jiang Chen and clearly saw Jiang Chen's appearance in the night.
Coupled with his companions' explosions and the terrifying pressure on Jiang Chen's body, he was so frightened that his body trembled like a sieve.
Jiang Chen raised his hand and sucked the person into his grasp. Without the slightest hesitation, he opened his mouth and bit down.
A large amount of blood entered his throat, and a large portion of memories also entered his mind along with the blood.
He obtained the information he wanted.
Half a day ago, Tang San had returned to Sea God Island. The Great Offering had respectfully knelt and addressed him as Lord Sea God.
Afterward, the spirit masters at Titled Douluo level and above on Sea God Island, plus those spirit masters Tang San had brought back earlier, immediately boarded ships and set out to sea.
Jiang Chen's hand exerted force, turning the person into flying ash.
His figure flashed, and he had already pursued in the direction Tang San had left.
The direction Tang San and the others had taken was opposite to the Douluo Continent, heading into the deeper parts of the ocean.
While pursuing, Jiang Chen's vast divine sense also spread out. Unfortunately, after flying for five hours, he still did not see a single person's shadow.
Jiang Chen stopped. His brows furrowed deeply. With his flying speed, five hours should have been enough to catch up to sailing ships.
He was certain his direction was absolutely correct—he had flown in a straight line ever since departing from Sea God Island.
He pondered for a moment. There were two possibilities.
One was that the fleeing ships were still farther ahead, and he had not yet caught up.
The other was that Tang San and the others had changed direction after leaving Sea God Island.
Jiang Chen was more inclined toward the latter possibility.
He looked at this boundless sea and felt somewhat helpless.
Although he had absorbed the divine senses of several deities, the coverage range of his own divine sense was still pitifully small compared to the Sea God and those fellows.
In this seemingly endless ocean, wanting to find those people was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"The Sea God actually did not abandon his successor like the other deities. Does he hope that Tang San will continue to accept his inheritance? And then let Tang San continue to deal with me?"
Jiang Chen let out a cold laugh, resolutely turned around, and flew toward the Douluo Continent.
Rather than wasting time searching for people in this boundless ocean, it was better to return to the Douluo Continent and raise his strength as quickly as possible.
Even if Tang San became the Sea God, so what?
He would still die by his hand just the same.
When he passed by Sea God Island again, he did not stop.
The remaining spirit masters on Sea God Island no longer posed any threat to him.
If it had been in the past, he might have killed all the spirit masters with higher cultivation.
But now, the pattern in his heart was already different.
In his eyes, these people were already like ants.
How could a god waste time on ants?
At noon the next day, on the road approaching Spirit City, he encountered the elders and spirit masters who were rushing back to Spirit City at full speed.
Jiang Chen's sudden appearance made these elders naturally very happy.
Upon learning that Bibi Dong was also fine, and that the several gods who had possessed the Shrek Seven Devils had been defeated by Jiang Chen, these elders were extremely shocked and became even more reverent toward Jiang Chen.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen finally returned to Spirit City and explained the situation of Sea God Island to Bibi Dong.
Afterward, Bibi Dong issued an imperial edict, announcing to the entire world that five of the Shrek Seven Devils had already been executed, leaving only Tang San and Xiao Wu among them.
Moreover, she also issued a wanted order throughout the entire empire. Whoever could provide the whereabouts of Tang San and Xiao Wu would receive a heavy reward from the empire.
Although Jiang Chen said that Tang San and the others had fled in the direction opposite to the Douluo Continent.
Bibi Dong believed that Tang San and the others might openly repair the plank road while secretly crossing at Chencang, secretly taking a detour back to the Douluo Continent.
As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. Perhaps there really was such a possibility.
Mobilizing the power of the entire empire to search for such a large group of people—unless they lived in seclusion deep in the mountains, they would have nowhere to hide.
Late at night, after arranging everything, Bibi Dong and Jiang Chen returned to the study.
Jiang Xuening, who was already four and a half years old, had grown a little taller. At this moment, she was quietly nestled in Jiang Chen's arms, curiously listening to Bibi Dong and Jiang Chen speak.
Bibi Dong sighed and said: "Little Chen, after this incident, I hate myself for being too weak. If I also had god-level strength, perhaps you would not have been hunted."
Jiang Chen comforted her: "Teacher, hasn't this already passed? My strength has already reached the god level. Such a situation will never appear again in the future."
Bibi Dong shook her head. Her pretty face was solemn as she said: "Little Chen, as long as the enemy is not dead for a single day, you cannot relax your vigilance. Since we temporarily cannot find Tang San now, we must raise our own strength as quickly as possible."
Jiang Chen nodded: "Teacher, what you said makes sense."
"Therefore, I plan to begin seclusion tonight, to break through to rank ninety-nine as quickly as possible, and then accept the final Rakshasa God inheritance."
"Teacher, rest assured. I will properly look after the empire." Jiang Chen said.
Bibi Dong shook her head: "I have already arranged for Elder Ju and Elder Gui to temporarily manage the empire's affairs. They have followed me for many years and have always handled matters in a way that puts me at ease. You should still focus on raising your strength to prevent Tang San's counterattack."
"Alright." Jiang Chen agreed.
He also needed to raise his own strength as quickly as possible.
There was still one dragon corpse in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Since he had already absorbed one, Jiang Chen would not let the other one go either.
Moreover, his spirit master cultivation also needed to be raised as quickly as possible, and then inherit the Asura God position.
Having one more method was something he would not refuse.
