Third Eye! Open!

The Toad King looked at the bead before it and, just as before, began channeling the water energy within it.

In an instant, the blue bead blazed with dazzling light, condensing a blue energy wave that shot toward Su Luo in midair.

Su Luo clenched his right fist, white Vibration Power surfacing around it as he punched at the energy wave rushing toward him.

But after holding out for barely two seconds, he was sent flying by the blue energy wave.

He hit the ground back-first and slid for some distance before Su Luo barely managed to steady himself.

Getting back to his feet, Su Luo looked at the azure flames burning all over his body, unable to hide his shock.

That energy wave was actually so powerful. Merely grazing its edge had inflicted such severe injuries on him.

More importantly, the Paw Ability's power to repel all things had been completely useless against that energy wave.

Just as Su Luo sank into thought, Su Tong's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

"Su Luo, the water energy in that bead has been refined to an extreme purity by this toad. It has faintly touched upon a trace of the Starry Sky Law. You must not meet it head-on."

"Starry Sky Law? That sounds impressive." Hearing Su Tong's words, Su Luo became even more interested in the bead.

"But since it's energy, can my opened eye block it?" Su Luo asked.

"It can indeed. Open your eye. Kill it in the shortest time possible and seize the bead," Su Tong said seriously.

"No, no, no. Not just the bead—I want its Level 6 Crystal Core too!" Su Luo declared with brimming confidence.

Su Luo's injuries rapidly healed under the azure flames, restoring him to his former state.

Standing where he was, he closed his eyes and activated the Third Eye between his brows.

Seeing Su Luo actually close his eyes on the spot, the Toad King opened its huge mouth and let out several ringing laughs of mockery.

From the bottom of its heart, it believed this weak human had resigned himself to fate and given up struggling.

Still, for making me use this bead to kill you, you can die without regrets.

It activated the bead once more, firing a powerful energy wave at Su Luo, who stood motionless in place.

Seeing this, Shen Huaiyue and the other two hurriedly shouted in alarm, "Su Luo! Dodge!"

Yet Su Luo turned a deaf ear to their words, still standing there without moving an inch.

He murmured, "Third Eye! Open!"

As the Toad King watched the energy wave close in on Su Luo, the corners of its mouth curved upward into a cruel smile.

Boom!!

The surging energy wave struck Su Luo head-on with a thunderous crash.

But in the next instant, the expression on the Toad King's face inexplicably froze stiff.

Even the three sisters behind Su Luo were completely dumbfounded.

That was because, after taking such a terrifying attack, Su Luo had not retreated even half a step. He still stood firm where he was, as though the attack had never hit him at all.

The Toad King rubbed its eyes. Looking at the completely unscathed Su Luo, its heart was instantly filled with enormous doubt.

Its bead had never failed to kill anyone.

The beasts in this forest had all been beaten into submission by it.

How was it that this weak human was completely fine after taking its attack?

Refusing to believe in evil, the Toad King once again unleashed the bead's energy at Su Luo.

After sensing it, Su Luo not only failed to dodge, but charged straight toward it.

Under the Toad King's shocked gaze, the energy wave released by the bead struck Su Luo and instantly vanished without a trace.

How was that possible?! The attack had actually disappeared after hitting him!

While the Toad King was still dumbfounded, Su Luo had already charged through the energy wave and reached it.

He clenched his right fist, gathering Vibration Power within it.

At the same time, he imbued that fist with the First Layer of the Nine Heavens he had learned—First Layer.

He swung his fist and smashed it viciously into the Toad King's massive head.

Crack, crack! After a burst of sounds like space shattering—

the skin atop the Toad King's head immediately split open.

But it was not over yet. The power of the First Layer erupted.

With a boom, the already fractured space spread another ten-odd meters, completely engulfing the Toad King's entire head.

Seeing this, the three sisters were so shocked that they barely dared breathe, afraid they would distract Su Luo.

At first, the Toad King felt that the punch had not affected it much.

After all, its hide was thick and its flesh tough. This weak human should not have been able to hurt it much, at most scraping its skin.

But as time passed, it suddenly felt a pain in its head, and the pain only grew worse and worse.

Finally, with a splat!

Blood suddenly sprayed in streams from the Toad King's thick, tough head in all directions.

The blood sprayed so quickly that within seconds, the Toad King's entire huge head had been dyed crimson.

"Roar!!"

The Toad King let out an enraged roar of pain.

Only then did it see clearly that the human before it had grown another eye.

That eye radiated an eerie power that it could not see through at all.

Su Luo quickly retreated, widening the distance between himself and the Toad King.

After roaring, the Toad King suddenly felt a little dizzy.

In the end, it staggered and toppled sideways into the water. It seemed Su Luo's punch had injured its brain, leaving it unable to tell direction from east to west.

Su Luo floated in midair, his cold eyes fixed on the lake's surface.

The Toad King was a Tier 6 Beast, after all—the strongest beast he had ever fought. It would never die so easily.

Suddenly, a long tongue covered in barbs shot out from the lake toward Su Luo with the speed of thunder, too swift to cover one's ears.

Su Luo narrowed his eyes and raised a hand, placing an Elastic Shield before himself.

The moment the long tongue neared Su Luo's body, it was repelled and could not get anywhere close to him.

Seeing that its tongue could not touch Su Luo, the Toad King was just about to retract it when a hand suddenly grabbed it.

Su Luo showed no fear of the barbs on the Toad King's tongue. He seized it in one grip and tugged hard.

He had to force the Toad King out of the water and fight it openly and fairly.

Otherwise, if he kept his eye open for too long, his stamina would be drained greatly.

Seeing that its tongue had been caught and could not be pulled back at all, the Toad King could only unwillingly surface again.

When Su Luo saw the Toad King reappear, he grabbed its tongue and flew backward, intending to drag it onto the shore.

Naturally, the Toad King could see that this human wanted to drag it out of the lake. Once that happened, its home-field advantage would vanish into thin air, and it could only be slaughtered by others.

At this moment, it deeply regretted using its tongue to ambush this human. He was too ruthless—completely unafraid of the poisonous barbs on its tongue, he simply dragged it by brute force.

But Su Luo was no fool either. He knew the barbs on the tongue were highly likely to be poisonous.

Therefore, before grabbing the tongue, he had already covered his hand with a layer of Elastic Shield, making the poisonous barbs completely unable to pierce his hand.

Before it knew it, the Toad King had been forcibly dragged out of the lake by its tongue.

The Toad King stood dozens of meters tall, and every step it took made the ground tremble.
