Chapter 955: Conqueror's Aura



Wherever Vaan went, the nearby black mutant serpents followed. Before long, Vaan arrived at the X-shaped crevasse on the ocean floor.

(Your Excellency, we have arrived at the entrance to our Black Serpent Clan.)

The group of Transcendent-rank black mutant serpents eagerly informed Vaan, oblivious to the potential threat they could be bringing to their home.

Nevertheless, Vaan had long erased the intention of eliminating the Black Serpent Clan from his mind. Given the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura's influence on the Black Serpent Clan, subjugating it would be more useful than exterminating it.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

That said, Vaan also understood that the present level of his Boundless Sea and Sky Aura had limitations. While it could command non-sentient species, its effects against sentient life forms were greatly restricted.

As such, the leaders of the Black Serpent Clan, who had all likely awakened their spiritual wisdom, would be less inclined to the Boundless Sea and Sky Aura's influence if their loyalty to the Celestial Kingdom was strong.

Of course, Vaan didn't mind changing the hands of the Black Serpent Clan if its leaders were stubborn and didn't know any better.

"Who are the strongest members of your clan?" Vaan patiently inquired. He wasn't in a hurry to enter the Black Serpent Clan's den.

(The strongest members of our clan would be the clan leader and ten elders. Besides the clan leader, who has become a Divine Serpent, the ten elders are all Peak-stage Demigods, Your Excellency.)

Vaan was slightly surprised to learn the Black Serpent Clan actually had a Divine-rank life form leading it.

Moreover, none of the Demigod-rank mutant serpents he had slain were among the ranks of elders despite possessing such pure Golden Dragon Bloodline.

Did they have special statuses or the Golden Dragon Bloodline was just that common?

"How many Demigods are there in your clan? How many possess pure Golden Dragon Bloodline?" Vaan inquired further, only for the black mutant serpents to happily answer.

(As far as I am aware, there should be more than six hundred Demigods in the clan, and they all possess the pure Golden Dragon Bloodline to some extent, Your Excellency. If you are interested in the pure Golden Dragon Bloodline, I can show you where our clan procures it.)

Just as the black mutant serpent finished saying that, a powerful current of water rushed toward it with lightning-swiftness, threatening to tear it apart.

However, Vaan waved his hand, and another powerful water current was generated to clash with the opposing force. A violent wall of water was quickly formed, pulling in nearby creatures.

Fortunately, the force was not strong enough to drag the big bodies of the Transcendent-rank black mutant serpents before it dispersed.

Even so, the black mutant serpent who got targeted by the powerful water current felt infinite fear after escaping its potential death. The black mutant serpent didn't expect to be sentenced to death for having a loose mouth.

(Ungrateful Wretch! How dare you reveal our clan's secrets to a human! And all of you insolent juniors! How dare you lead an outsider into our home! Are you trying to rebel?!)

The furious scolding of an elderly serpent resounded as a Peak-stage Demigod-rank Gold- horned Mutant Serpent emerged from the X-shaped crevasse.

Its overbearing aura quickly suppressed all the Transcendent-rank black mutant serpents in the area. Everyone lowered their heads or looked away and didn't dare face the elder serpent directly.

Only Vaan dared to look.

"They were helping me and had been quite cooperative. Do you have a problem with that?" Vaan frowned.

After being in an authoritative position for thousands of years, the elder serpent didn't expect anyone to challenge him. As such, the elder serpent immediately singled him out with a glare.

Swish!

Two arrow-like jets of water were released from its large nostrils as the elder serpent exhaled deeply. Afterward, the elder serpent approached Vaan threateningly until it was in a position where it no longer looked up but down at him.

(Do I have a problem, you ask...?! Of course, I... don't have a problem with that! How could this Lowly One dare? Your disguise is very good, Ocean Master. However, if you want to test us, you should at least hide your aura.)

Once the elder serpent spoke, everyone became dumbfounded.

Not only did he undergo a 180-degree change in attitude, but his words were also very shocking.

What did the elder mean by Ocean Master? This human was the Ocean Master in disguise? Could he actually be?

The black mutant serpents wore looks of surprise and wonder.

Now that they thought about it, only the Ocean Master could make any hostile marine life docile in front of him without doing anything. The Ocean Master was also the only one who could understand any sea creature.

If the human wasn't the Ocean Master in disguise, how could he understand them and acquire their goodwill?

"I'm not the Ocean Master," Vaan coolly stated.

He saw no reason to impersonate the Ocean Master. While it might give him some advantage, it didn't serve his goal.

Why would the real owner pretend to be the thief?

Vaan had already suspected the Ocean Master was related to the other source of Boundless Sea and Sky Aura. After experiencing the Black Serpent Clan's various reactions, he became even

more certain of it.

(Sure, Your Excellency. If you say so.)

The elder serpent voiced its acknowledgment. However, it wasn't actually convinced by Vaan's statement. Instead, it thought he was being stubborn and decided to play along.

However, Vaan wasn't interested in this game.

"No, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I am not the Ocean Master," Vaan reiterated before declaring, "However, I will defeat the Ocean Master and become the true

Ocean Master."

"What does the Black Serpent Clan think of this plan of mine? Do you all want to join my revolution or go against me?" Vaan asked.

(Ocean Master, you can quit joking...)

"I'm being very serious."

The elder serpent soon realized Vaan was completely serious and couldn't help but tremble with great shock, fear, anxiety, and excitement at the same time.

Throughout history, the Celestial Kingdom has always ruled the ocean with an iron grip. Although the old Ocean Master would be replaced with a new one, they had always been part

of the Celestial Kingdom.

However, now someone outside the Celestial Kingdom has also come in possession of the

Conqueror's Aura.

The Boundless Sea was about to undergo huge changes!
