"Crack—"
"Creak..."
The slow sound of chewing bones echoed by the sea, but it dissipated before traveling far.
Xu Yanwu's body was now tens of meters tall. He sat down next to the barbecue grill, and even the air he exhaled could stir up a breeze carrying a hint of seafood...
"Ugh..."
Xu Yanwu had lost count of how many Honkai Beasts he had eaten from the sea. [He hadn't actually counted.]
Although the Honkai Beasts grilled directly were tender and delicious, after eating them for so many days... Xu Yanwu felt a bit nauseous...
But Xu Yanwu had no choice but to eat. He still needed to rely on this food to provide a trickle of energy.
Although Xu Yanwu had recently felt that the concentration of Honkai Energy by the sea had become much denser, maintaining his current tens-of-meters-tall body was still quite energy-consuming.
Xu Yanwu truly felt it was time to find a way to replace his energy consumption. Relying on drinking the wind and eating barbecue every day for energy was not enough for him...
But the most important thing right now was to deal with that... Chi You in the sea.
Xu Yanwu stood up, patted the sand off his backside, which was like dust compared to his current body size, and looked towards the sea with a somewhat solemn expression.
Layers of waves were currently surging on the sea's surface, with large amounts of seawater rising and falling as if being pushed by something.
Xu Yanwu could clearly feel a behemoth approaching.
And... the sense of crisis it gave him was intense.
It was second only to the Herrscher of the End that Xu Yanwu had faced before.
As Xu Yanwu watched, the sea surface in the distance rose, and a large amount of seawater cascaded down from the raised area, revealing pale, keratinous skin and purple Honkai Energy patterns within.
Xu Yanwu looked up for a while...
(O.O)?!
So big?!
Although I had expected the size of Honkai Beasts, how could your body be larger than a small island?!
This must be thousands of meters!
You know, the Feng Bo Yu Shi that destroyed the Xuanyuan tribe three years ago was only tens of meters in size...
Looking at its size, a whale probably wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth...
All Honkai Beasts from the same world, why are you so exceptional, Chi You?
"With such a large body... how did Ji Lin and the others manage to seal Chi You..."
What Xu Yanwu didn't know was that without his presence, in the world of Honkai, Ji Lin would have greatly unleashed the potential power of the Xuanyuan Sword, a Divine Key, in her battle against Chi You.
After all, it was power unleashed by risking her entire life, so it was not surprising to have such a degree.
Moreover, Ji Lin and the others did not kill Chi You, they only sealed him in the Nine Netherworlds. If it weren't for Kiana and the others in the future stumbling upon Chi You, who was in a weakened state after five thousand years of sealing, and coincidentally destroying Chi You's heart, how could Chi You, the largest Honkai Beast in history, have been so easily blown to death by the Hyperion.
"No matter what, I've at least gained the strength of a fully evolved Herrscher, and with my immortality, can I not defeat a mere beast like you?"
Xu Yanwu roared, drawing the spear from his back and pointing it directly at Chi You's head emerging from the sea: "Today, I will be the guardian of the Land of Shenzhou!"
However, Xu Yanwu waited for a long time, but Chi You didn't attack. Instead, he saw Chi You staring at him with purple eyes larger than ordinary houses.
Even more baffling to Xu Yanwu was a voice that came from nowhere.
"You... god from another world... god... I will defeat you..."
"???? Where did that female voice come from?!"
Xu Yanwu searched for a while, only to discover with some fear that this voice was actually coming from Chi You in front of him?
"Oh my god! This is a disaster!"
Xu Yanwu was so scared that the spear in his hand fell to the ground, sticking into the beach: "Holy crap, Chi You can talk!"
Xu Yanwu's mood was collapsing. He had never heard of Honkai Beasts talking!
If it were Militants talking, I could barely tolerate it.
But Chi You, you're a Honkai Beast!
Where did you get the intelligence to speak?!
And it's a female voice? So you were a female Honkai Beast all along!
"Wait..."
Xu Yanwu suddenly realized that Chi You's words seemed to mention... God?
Xu Yanwu fell silent. Xu Yanwu, who wasn't stupid, could still figure things out.
It must be the Will of Honkai, whom he had met twice, causing trouble.
"Will of Honkai, I'll go f*** your ancestors!"
Xu Yanwu's muscles tensed up, and he finally started to feel nervous.
Chi You, who was already a complete Herrscher, how powerful would he be now after being strengthened by the Will of Honkai?
Even if he didn't have the power of the Herrscher of the End... he could still completely destroy the Land of Shenzhou, right?
If Xu Yanwu retreated now, how long would it take Chi You to destroy the Land of Shenzhou?
"...Bastard."
Xu Yanwu spat fiercely, pulling his spear from the ground. "What am I thinking? Is now really the time to run?!"
This was the Land of Shenzhou, the China of the Honkai world.
Was this a place where Chi You could do as he pleased?
And...
There were Cang Xuan, Danzhu, Chi Yuan, Lianshan, Ji Lin, and others here...
In the original world, it took the lives of three of them to barely seal Chi You in the Nine Netherworld. In the end, Lianshan lived out his days alone, and Chi Yuan guarded the Land of Shenzhou for five thousand years by herself.
With Chi You's current strength, who else besides Xu Yanwu could stop him?
Thinking this, Xu Yanwu made up his mind, his gaze fixed on Chi You, his body growing once more.
Now was not the time to be stingy with energy. Xu Yanwu had to stop this monster, Chi You, who had been strengthened by the Will of Honkai.
"You... insult... god..."
Chi You clearly hadn't mastered his language abilities yet, speaking haltingly. "Those who insult god... die!"
"Who the hell do you think you are?!"
Xu Yanwu's body had already grown to the scale of hundreds of meters. His feet had sunk deep into the sea sand, unable to bear his weight.
"Insult god? I'll go back and deal with her later!"
Even as he cursed, Xu Yanwu felt a sliver of relief.
After all, it was just him facing Chi You now. No one else would get hurt because of Chi You. It was good that he came alone...
"Oh my! Brother Yinglong, how did you get so big?"
A small voice came from the ground behind Xu Yanwu.
...What?!
