What Time-Space Kun Beast? This Is Spicy Fish Head!

Su Mu took a step back and heaved hard. A massive silver carp was instantly hauled from the water.

The silver carp had deep-blue eyes and dense purple-gold scales arranged in neat rows across its body. Its tail, in particular, did not resemble an ordinary fish tail—it was like a pair of scissors, gleaming with a soft light.

Su Mu's eyes lit up at the sight.

A treasure fish at first glance! He had been fishing for days, and he had finally landed a big catch.

With a forceful swing of his arm, Su Mu flung the enormous silver carp onto the riverbank.

He set down the Fishing Rod and hurried over to the fish. Clamping its gills tightly between his thumb and forefinger, he lifted it up. Only after weighing it in his hand did he realize how abnormally heavy it was. No wonder it had taken so much effort.

Su Mu was no longer surprised by the weight of these treasure fish. He had gradually come to realize that this river was far from ordinary—there were simply too many treasure fish in it!

At the same time, in another world.

It had been ten years since Xiao Huo arrived in this world. Now in his twenties, he had already become a major figure in his own right.

That day, guided by the old man in the ring, he followed several senior experts into the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm.

At that moment, an earth-shattering battle was unfolding above the Stone Plain at the heart of the Hidden Abyss Secret Realm. Great powers from every side were fighting over a treasure suspended in the air above the Stone Plain.

The treasure's shape could not be seen clearly, wrapped as it was in a mass of Immortal Light. Yet from the powerful aura it emitted, it was clear that this treasure had to be one of the most precious secret treasures in the realm!

Though Xiao Huo was already a major figure, he naturally had no right to take part in a battle of this level. He could only watch from afar.

"Master, can you see what kind of treasure that is?"

Xiao Huo sent his voice into the Space Ring on his finger.

This was his Golden Finger—no, it could not be called a Golden Finger. This was his master, his benefactor, who had helped him rise step by step to where he was today.

The soul within the Space Ring remained silent for a long while before sending back a message. "I can't see clearly. But I advise you not to get involved. Although I cannot make out what that treasure is, I have a feeling... something isn't right."

Hearing this, Xiao Huo smiled. "Master, you think too highly of me. Even if I wanted to get involved, I don't have the strength to do so."

"With your current strength, certainly not. But if I possess you, taking it would not be a problem. Still, I find this rather strange. This time, we should simply watch."

Xiao Huo nodded in agreement. "Everything will be as Master arranges."

At that moment, four mighty experts from this great region were locked in a fierce battle. The shockwaves alone cracked the earth and shook the other cultivators so badly that none dared draw near.

Suddenly, the sky darkened.

At some unknown moment, black clouds had appeared above the Stone Plain. They stretched all the way to the horizon, covering the entire secret realm.

Immediately afterward, an overwhelmingly powerful pressure descended from the black clouds. In an instant, everyone beneath it was rendered unable to move, frozen in place as though turned to stone.

They struggled to raise their heads and look toward the black clouds in the void. Some weaker cultivators fainted on the spot under that terrifying pressure.

Xiao Huo stared at the black clouds overhead in horror, his pupils contracting sharply as fear filled his face.

The next second, an enormous beastly silhouette appeared within the black clouds.

The silhouette was so vast that it nearly filled the entire expanse of clouds. Only part of its tail could be seen, shaped like a pair of divine scissors. With one light snip, it cut open a Space Crack! Everyone held their breath as they stared at that horrifying shadow.

At this moment, seeing the beast's tail shaped like divine scissors, the four mighty experts thought of something.

It was not only the four of them. Many other cultivators also recalled an ancient legend!

It was said that at the southernmost edge of the continent, within the Southern Mirage Sea, lived a Time-Space Kun Beast. It possessed the ability to cut through space, roaming through Space Cracks and traveling among the continent's ancient secret realms, devouring humans and secret treasures.

No one knew just how powerful that Time-Space Kun Beast truly was.

But they knew that eight hundred years ago, the Old Sword God had gone alone to the Southern Mirage Sea to slay the Time-Space Kun Beast.

Before he had even truly set foot in the Southern Mirage Sea, the Old Sword God was swallowed whole by the Time-Space Kun Beast. Let alone slaying it, he had not even possessed the strength to fight it. That battle established the Time-Space Kun Beast's legendary status, and from then on, no one had dared approach the Southern Mirage Sea again.

They had never expected that, after eight hundred years, they would see the Time-Space Kun Beast once more! They did not dare move, nor could they move. A powerful despair spread through their hearts.

"Disciple, get ready!"

At that moment, a message from the Space Ring entered Xiao Huo's mind through Divine Sense.

Xiao Huo circulated his cultivation technique and adjusted himself to peak condition, ready at any moment for his master to possess him.

He knew very well that once the Time-Space Kun Beast attacked, there was no way he could escape with his own strength. He had to rely on his master's possession.

Just as everyone waited for death to descend, the Time-Space Kun Beast suddenly turned around and swallowed the treasure radiating Immortal Light above the Stone Plain in a single bite! That bite directly shattered space and swallowed up the treasure they had been fighting over completely.

Then, a horrifying scene unfolded.

The instant the Time-Space Kun Beast swallowed the treasure, a beam of Immortal Light shot skyward from its body like a line, its far end vanishing into the void above.

The Time-Space Kun Beast let out a pained howl. Its powerful aura shook even space into slight distortion.

It struggled for less than three seconds before the massive Time-Space Kun Beast abruptly lost its balance.

Almost instantly, it was dragged directly into the void above by that beam of Immortal Light, vanishing into the void in the blink of an eye! The entire process had taken only a single breath! Some people had not even reacted before the Time-Space Kun Beast was already gone.

The sensation was as if it had been hooked and reeled away like a fish! Only after the Time-Space Kun Beast had been dragged into the void for Half an Incense Stick did people gradually come to their senses and flee madly from the secret realm!

Because there was an existence above the void even more powerful than the Time-Space Kun Beast! Xiao Huo did not hesitate in the slightest and ran for his life. After running for a full three hours, he finally escaped the secret realm.

"Good thing Master had the foresight!"

Xiao Huo said, panting heavily.

Thinking back on what had just happened, it had truly been perilous. If his master had possessed him, then even if they had seized that treasure, their fate would definitely have been the same as the Time-Space Kun Beast's! That was not a treasure at all—it was more like bait! Using a treasure as bait to fish away the Time-Space Kun Beast—what kind of terrifyingly powerful existence had done that? After a long while, his master's voice finally came from within the Space Ring. "Disciple, I think that dream you once told me about may not have been a dream."
