"I wonder when I will meet my true love, so that my cultivation speed can be a bit faster."

"Love is all about fate; there's no use in rushing it!"

Several merfolk were chatting idly, but Jiang Yuan could no longer hear their sentiments. He had only one thought in his mind: to stop Leng Yue from condensing the mermaid pearl. He couldn't let Leng Yue be tied to his shabby ship.

"Where is the inheritance space?"

Jiang Yuan grabbed one of the merfolk by the collar in a fit of excitement. He said firmly, "We don't need the merfolk's help anymore. I'll handle entering the Ancient Sea Abyss myself. Let Leng Yue come out. We won't condense the Mermaid Pearl anymore!"

"this……"

The merfolk were stunned, completely unaware of what had happened. They had been talking so well just moments before, so why had they suddenly changed their minds?

"Hurry up, I need to see Leng Yue now!" Jiang Yuan urged.

"No, Young Master Jiang, the inheritance has already begun, and it can't be interrupted now!"

A merman explained to Jiang Yuan, hoping he could wait a little longer.

"Fine, since you won't open it, I'll do it myself!"

Jiang Yuan took two steps back, and a terrifying aura spread from his body—the power of the God-Slaying Bow.

He originally lent the God-Slaying Bow to Leng Yue so that she could condense a mermaid pearl, thus gaining the help of the mermaid race. However, he did not know beforehand that condensing the mermaid pearl would restrict Leng Yue's emotions. If that was the case, he would rather cross the Death Strait in his physical body and face the dangers of the deep sea alone.

What do you want to do?!

The merfolk were also uneasy seeing Jiang Yuan's attitude. He was far too confident, so much so that they doubted whether their inheritance space could withstand him.

"Starry Sky Glass!"

Jiang Yuan raised his right fist, a golden light flashed, and a golden dragon that could shake the ages instantly climbed onto his arm. "God-Slaying Bow, come back to me!"

He wanted to summon back the God-Slaying Bow. As long as Leng Yue didn't have the God-Slaying Bow, she wouldn't be able to condense her own share of the Mermaid Pearl in front of the Divine Artifact Mermaid Pearl, because what caused the fluctuations of the Divine Artifact Mermaid Pearl was purely the God-Slaying Bow and the Chaos Life and Death Wave.

"Stop him!"

The merfolk's expressions changed drastically, but out of responsibility to their clan, they attacked Jiang Yuan one by one.

"Ling Shui Jiu Tian".

"Tide Wave."

"Xuanbingyu."

The sea creatures' signature water-based attacks came at Jiang Yuan, but Jiang Yuan made no attempt to dodge.

"Eight Gates, Eternity."

In a mere physical confrontation, the demonic body after Nirvana possesses eight gates and an endless physical universe; his physical body is the most powerful weapon in the world.

Bang bang bang, attacks kept landing on Jiang Yuan, but they seemed to sink into the sea, causing no damage to his body.

However, things were not as smooth as they seemed. The God-Slaying Bow, which had only recently been subdued, still possessed some malevolent energy, and when he summoned it, it rebelled and tried to oppose him.

"You little brat, if you dare let her condense the mermaid pearl, I'll burn you like firewood!" Jiang Yuan hurriedly threatened the God-Slaying Bow. Those that can reach the level of Primordial Sacred Artifacts all possess unique artifact spirits, so his words can definitely be conveyed.

The God-Slaying Bow conveyed a hint of schadenfreude, but then, without resistance, it returned to Jiang Yuan's body as he wished.

"Depend on!"

Jiang Yuan, who had retrieved the God-Slaying Bow, was somewhat speechless. He sensed the aura of another divine artifact on the bow, meaning that the God-Slaying Bow had come into contact with the Mermaid Clan's divine artifact, the Mermaid Pearl.

"Jiang Yuan, what are you doing?"

Realizing what had happened, Nie Zhen quickly stepped forward and grabbed Jiang Yuan. Because the incident happened so suddenly, he didn't even know what had happened, but his intuition told him that it was best to grab Jiang Yuan first.

Jiang Yuan had no time to pay attention to Nie Zhen. He found the entrance to the inheritance space through the God-Slaying Bow. Just as he was about to enter, several other forces suddenly emerged from the inheritance space. After sensing them, he found Leng Yue's aura and gave up the idea of ​​entering the inheritance space.

"What's going on? How dare you shout and yell in front of the inherited mermaid pearl! What kind of behavior is this!"

The mermaid elder who came out immediately put on a stern face and reprimanded his people.

"No, it's just that this human is acting strangely and insists on entering the inheritance space," the merman girl said, pouting unhappily.

"Leng Yue, come out here. We're not doing this deal."

Jiang Yuan shouted at Leng Yue, "I'll find another way to enter the Ancient Sea Abyss!"

Jiang Yuan spoke loudly enough for everyone present to hear, but Leng Yue remained silent.

"Don't tell me it's over?" Jiang Yuan's expression was not good, because that would mean that Leng Yue might never be able to break off contact with him for the rest of her life.

Seeing his anxious look, Leng Yue couldn't help but smile knowingly. She shook her head and said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, the person I love isn't you. You don't hold that much weight in my heart yet."

"Really?" Jiang Yuan asked, still somewhat doubtful.

"This is my mermaid pearl. You can take it and see for yourself if it's yours!" Leng Yue calmly stretched out her hand, a white jade pearl lying in her palm, its interior reflecting the myriad aspects of life.

Jiang Yuan was somewhat uncertain, but in the end he did not go to receive the mermaid pearl.

"For men, confidence is a good thing, but narcissism is not very appealing." Leng Yue flipped her hand and put away the mermaid pearl.

"Now that the mermaid pearl has been formed, let's set off for the Ancient Sea Abyss immediately!"

Nie Zhen couldn't wait any longer; every second spent in that kind of place meant increasing danger.
