"The divine beast you mentioned, I think I have some impression of it!"

"The Unicorn Rhinoceros, also called the Horned Green Ox!"

Houtu said slowly. As the Ancestor Witch of Earth, she had traveled the Primordial World when she was first born and had encountered the green ox a few times.

"Senior Houtu, is that true?"

Seeing that there was a clue, Shi Yu was incredibly excited. He was finally going to escape the fate of being a "Mai Ba Crane." Wonderful!

"Oh my, you are my great benefactor!"

He flickered and instantly appeared in front of Houtu, patting her shoulder. The two were a little too close...

"Cough, cough, cough~"

Realizing something was wrong, Shi Yu strategically coughed and then took two steps back.

"Kid?!"

"You're too close!"

Gonggong saw this, his brows furrowed. What a bold kid. If Shi Yu hadn't moved away, he would have probably turned into the Boiling Water Ancestor Witch by now~~

Houtu slowly recovered from her daze and said, "The green ox is in the Great Marsh, a bit far from here. I'll give you a ride!"

Suddenly, the ground vibrated. In an instant, the world spun, and Shi Yu cried out in surprise. His vision brightened.

A moment later, Shi Yu slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and found himself standing before a vast marsh. Mountains stretched out around him, shrouded in mist, with birds and beasts singing.

"Kid, your Peach Blossom Luck is quite strong~"

"The one from Zixiao Palace last time, and now this one..."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss~~"

The Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda's voice sounded slowly in Shi Yu's ears, constantly teasing him.

"Brother Pagoda, I'm devoted to the Dao, don't talk nonsense. I'll sue you for defamation!"

"Careful what you say. Besides, they are all my martial aunts. I only have respect!"

After speaking, Shi Yu kicked the Exquisite Pagoda out of the team chat... He then muted himself. Perfect!

"Wow~"

"The world suddenly became quiet."

Shi Yu turned his attention to the vast marsh that stretched as far as the eye could see. He took a deep breath and walked into the depths of the marsh.

The further he went, the thicker the fog became. Suddenly, a low moo came from ahead.

Shi Yu's heart leaped with joy, knowing this must be the Unicorn Rhinoceros. He transformed into a stream of light and flew in the direction of the sound.

He cautiously approached the source of the sound and saw a giant green ox with fur that glowed with a faint light, drinking by a stream.

"Hiss~"

"This thing looks difficult to deal with. I wonder if Master's old bones can handle it?"

"Never mind, he has vast divine powers, he'll surely find a way!"

Shi Yu cautiously approached, afraid of disturbing the Unicorn Rhinoceros. As expected of a Primordial World anomaly, the Unicorn Rhinoceros was as massive as a mountain.

However, when he was only a few hundred feet away from the Unicorn Rhinoceros, it seemed to sense something was amiss. It suddenly raised its head, and the ox and the crane met eyes.

Its bell-like eyes warily stared at Shi Yu, the uninvited guest. It snorted through its nostrils, letting out a muffled roar, as if warning Shi Yu not to come closer.

"Hello there, Brother Ox~"

Shi Yu gave an awkward smile and waved at the Unicorn Rhinoceros. Clearly, even though the Unicorn Rhinoceros was a herbivore, its hooves were not.

"Moo~"

The Unicorn Rhinoceros moved its heavy limbs and charged towards Shi Yu, its sharp horns like swords.

"Damn it, I knew I should have cultivated properly. This guy is also at the early stage of Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

Seeing the mountain-like Unicorn Rhinoceros charging at him, Shi Yu hurriedly unfurled the Cloud Void Water Fan, drawing upon the water of the Great Marsh to construct layer after layer of water walls to trap it.

"Moo~"

The Unicorn Rhinoceros snorted through its nostrils, exerted force with its limbs, and leaped up, directly breaking through the water walls.

"I'll block!"

The Cloud Void Water Fan emitted a blue light, and Shi Yu threw it out, using the power of a Spiritual Treasure to resist the Unicorn Rhinoceros's charge.

"Clang~~"

A crisp metallic sound rang out as the ox's horns, as hard as profound iron, collided with the Cloud Void Water Fan.

"This guy's physical body is comparable to those humanoid mechs of the Wu Clan. As expected of a Primordial World anomaly, only such a one is worthy of my old master!"

Shi Yu caught the flying Cloud Void Water Fan and unfurled it again, throwing it at the Unicorn Rhinoceros. Its momentum was fierce, like a "coiled dragon charging across the plains."

After several rounds, the Unicorn Rhinoceros's eyes began to glaze over. The might of a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure could not be underestimated.

Seeing the Unicorn Rhinoceros's condition deteriorating, Shi Yu closed the Cloud Void Water Fan, preparing for close-quarters combat to take down the Unicorn Rhinoceros in one go.

Seeing Shi Yu and the Unicorn Rhinoceros charging at him, Mukade snorted through his nostrils, his eyes filled with fighting spirit, turning blood red.

His hind legs exerted force, like an arrow loosed from the bowstring, unstoppable.

"Damn it, he's seeing red!"

Seeing this, Shi Yu had no choice but to open his fan again and spin it:

"Big Horned Bull, let me show you what 'using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds' means!"

The Dao charm of the Great Dao of Taiji unfolded, faintly appearing under Shi Yu's feet. He used force to counter force, softness to overcome hardness, and the small to defeat the large.

"Flowing clouds and water~"

"Break!"

Shi Yu used the Cloud Void Water Fan as a fulcrum, using force to counter force, and knocked the mountain-like Unicorn Rhinoceros into the Great Marsh.

"Plop~~"

After a loud splash, a huge water column erupted from the surface, like a torrential rain.

"Moo moo moo~"

The angry roars of the Unicorn Rhinoceros came from the bottom of the water. The bull was completely enraged. His roar summoned the surrounding demonic beasts.

Within moments, several demonic beasts, such as the Luoyu Fish, Shengyu, Fuzhu, and Changyou, all of which could cause floods, appeared. It seemed the Unicorn Rhinoceros was their boss. The highest cultivation among them was at the late stage of Golden Immortal.

Although Shi Yu wasn't afraid of them, too many ants could still kill an elephant. If they attacked together, he would have a headache.

"Brother Pagoda, I need you~"

He received no response. Shi Yu knew that the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda was angry because he had just turned off its microphone.

It seemed he could only rely on himself. So, he threw out his second Companion Spiritual Treasure, the Azure Water Spirit Pearl.

"Disperse!"

The Azure Water Spirit Pearl shone brightly, mobilizing the water flow in the Great Marsh and transforming it into chains, binding these Fierce Beasts.

"Moo~~"

Just then, the Unicorn Rhinoceros broke through the water, swinging its sharp horn, trying to break free from the chains.

"Hehe, I was waiting for you~"

"Gourd, go!"

A gourd flew out from Shi Yu's waist, and a powerful suction force continuously pulled at the Unicorn Rhinoceros. The Unicorn Rhinoceros gripped the ground tightly with its four limbs, and for a moment, they were locked in a stalemate.

The battle on the shore was observed by two members of the Dragon Clan in a crystal palace at the bottom of the lake.

A young and urgent voice rang out, "Uncle, this guy is so powerful! He actually managed to defeat that big water buffalo!"

"By the way, Uncle, aren't you also a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?"

"Why can't you defeat that big water buffalo!"

Facing his nephew's question, Ao Ping, the Dragon King of the Great Marsh, felt his old face flush with embarrassment...

That big water buffalo is a Primordial World mutant, with innate advantages, capable of fighting beyond its level. As for your uncle, I'm a pauper, without even a single Innate Spiritual Treasure. That kid is ridiculously rich!

With one move, he used a top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, along with two high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures. Comparing oneself to others can be infuriating!

"Cough cough~"

"Ao Guang, it's not that your uncle is unwilling to stoop to the level of that big water buffalo. We are the Dragon Clan, the rulers of the aquatic races of the Four Seas! We must possess magnanimity!" Ao Ping paused, then said proudly.

The young man with dragon horns sitting beside Ao Ping was Ao Guang, the son of the Dragon King of the East Sea. He happened to be visiting relatives today.

"Uncle, you are truly enlightened. You can describe our lack of Spiritual Treasures so elegantly~"

Since the Dragon Clan's defeat in the war for supremacy, most of the surviving dragons followed the Azure Dragon Saint Venerable to guard the eastern extreme of the heavens. Only a small number of dragons resided in the Four Seas, ruling the aquatic races.

However, only the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas possessed Innate Spiritual Treasures for protection. There were two reasons. First, recalling the past, the Dragon Clan had an abundance of Spiritual Treasures, but during the Dragon-Han Tribulation, a large number of them were lost in the war.

It is speculated that they were all seized by the current Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Demon Ancestor Rahu. Later, the Dao Ancestor summoned help and killed the Demon Ancestor, and the Spiritual Treasures naturally became the Dao Ancestor's spoils of war~

Second, the Dragon Clan is deliberately weakening its presence. Even a centipede dies hard, let alone a super clan from back then. The Four Seas, as the window through which the Dragon Clan displays itself to the Primordial World, must appear "poor!"
