Demon Shark Sea Domain, Under Attack
Speaking of Island Tortoise, these magical creatures are actually close relatives of land turtles. In the Star Dou Great Forest, there is a powerful turtle-like Soul Beast that inhabits the swamps, called the Mountain Suppressing Tortoise. According to the investigation by Soul Beast researchers, the two do indeed come from the same ancestor. Their innate Soul Skill are very similar, and they both have a very large size.
However, the Island Tortoise lineage chose to live in the ocean, thus evolving some characteristics similar to those of sea turtles on Blue Star. Island Tortoise do not have four limbs for walking, only fins for swimming. These Soul Beast can grow to an extremely large size; it is said that Island Tortoise with 100,000 years of cultivation has a shell that is truly as large as an island.
Although turtle-type Soul Beast are extremely gentle by nature, few predatory Soul Beast are willing to gnaw on this tough nut, because their shells are simply too difficult to deal with. Sure enough, following Su He and Qian Renxue's gaze, this huge Red-Armed Giant Octopus was completely helpless.
This Red-Armed Giant Octopus is conservatively estimated to have a cultivation level of 30,000 years. Its tentacles have many huge suckers, making it look somewhat similar to the Kraken from Pirates of the Caribbean.
The terrifying suckers granted the Red-Armed Giant Octopus immense control, while the tentacle's resilience and immense strength gave it a powerful means of killing its prey. But today, it was going to suffer a setback at the hands of this Island Tortoise, whose cultivation was less than ten thousand years old.
When faced with danger, the Island Tortoise nimbly retracted its head and limbs into its shell, leaving only a slippery outer shell for the Red-Armed Giant Octopus to attack.
Just like trying to crush an egg with bare hands, even though the Red-Armed Giant Octopus was quite strong, it still felt a sense of frustration at having no way to use its strength. After struggling to no avail, the poor octopus had no choice but to release the Island Tortoise and go looking for other prey.
Seeing that the danger had passed, the Island Tortoise slowly stretched out its head and swam away into the distance. Before leaving, it gave the direction where the Red-Armed Giant Octopus had disappeared a disdainful look, which immediately amused Qian Renxue.
"He'er, look! That Island Tortoise's cheeky face is so funny!"
Su He nodded and smiled in return.
"The Island Tortoise survives precisely because of its powerful defense. This kind of Soul Beast can be said to have nothing but defense, making it an excellent choice for defensive Soul Master."
"It's a pity that land-based Soul Master have very few opportunities to come into contact with Sea Soul Beast."
"Yes, if we want to target Sea Soul Beast, we'd probably need Soul Douluo or higher to capture Sea Soul Beast that's a thousand years old." Qian Renxue agreed.
Several hours later.
At this moment, the two Ocean Dragons had entered the deep sea area, and the currents were no longer as calm as they had been initially, but had become turbulent.
The waves crashed against the sturdy hull, far from capsizing the Ocean Dragon, but these giant waves seemed to possess unwavering courage, continuing their relentless effort.
The once clear sky turned overcast, and a torrential downpour was about to begin. Seeing this, the Soul Master all returned to their rooms, and the deck became nearly empty, with only Su He and Qian Renxue remaining at the bow, their brows furrowed as they stared ahead.
Su He had activated his Golden Eyes of Disillusionment to their maximum. Through the dark clouds and mist, he saw interconnected islands, the massive mountain in the center, and the temple atop it.
That is the Sea God Islands, and the giant mountain in the very center of the Sea God Islands is Sea God Mountain.
Finally, they had arrived at this hurdle, Su He's eyes were filled with solemnity. The situation they faced was different from what Tang San and his companions experienced in the Original Work. Although their destination was not Sea God Island, it was a necessary stop on their way to the Sun Moon Continent. At this moment Su He fully understood the meaning of the phrase, "Not everyone can reach Sea God Island."
The unpredictable weather alone, with storms and heavy rains that can appear at any time, is enough to deter people from going there, not to mention the unique nature of the sea area in front of Sea God Island.
If Su He's guess is correct, this should be the habitat of the guardian beast of Sea God Island, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, Demon Shark Sea Domain.
Don't be misled into thinking that the Demon Soul Great White Shark is a kind-hearted Soul Beast just because of the positive description of it in the Original Work. On the contrary, the Demon Soul Great White Shark is extremely ferocious, and countless sailors and voyagers have perished in its belly over the years.
But history is often written by the victors. The tyranny of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was not remembered. Moreover, as the victor of the final battle, the Demon Soul Great White Shark received the blessing of the Sea God and, having lost the threat of the Evil Spirit Orca clan, became even more reckless.
At this moment, in the deep sea directly below the two Ocean Dragons, three Demon Soul Great White Shark had gathered, with cultivation levels of 50,000 years, 20,000 years, and 4,000 years respectively. This family of three had their eyes on the two giant ships.
Su He had a vague sense of unease in his heart. Seeing this, Qian Renxue took his hand and comforted him.
"He'er, why do you always frown?"
"Xue'er, I have a feeling we might encounter some trouble ahead..."
As soon as Su He finished speaking, a strong impact suddenly came from the lower part of the stern, causing the Soul Master still on the deck to stagger and almost fall.
Then came a series of impacts, one after another, not only at the stern but also at the bow. At this moment, Su He could finally confirm that the Ocean Dragon was under attack!
With a sweep of his Golden Eyes of Disillusionment, he confirmed the target of the attack: the Demon Soul Great White Shark!
"This is bad; we need to think of a solution, otherwise even the sturdiest ship will be damaged!"
Qian Renxue said somewhat anxiously, and then she spread her wings and flew towards the stern of the ship.
Although Qian Renxue's home turf is the sky, she won't be helpless against a Sea Spirit Master. For genius Soul Master like Su He and her, who have received the best resources since childhood, strong adaptability is a crucial lesson that must be cultivated.
Qian Renxue activated her fifth Soul Skill, and the Angel Holy Sword, radiating holy light, slashed towards the largest Demon Soul Great White Shark.
Su He naturally wouldn't be idle either. His gaze was already locked on the Demon Soul Great White Shark with a cultivation of 20,000 years and a length of more than ten meters at the bow of the ship. Just as he was about to leap into the water, he saw a huge dragon horned Golden Crocodile swimming on the surface of the sea. It was none other than the Golden Crocodile Douluo!
The giant crocodile approached the Demon Soul Great White Shark at incredible speed, and to the latter's astonishment, it opened its massive jaws and bit it in two. Instantly, the stench of blood filled the armored area, adding to the chilling atmosphere.
