"Hahaha! I've long heard of your illustrious name, Lord Six-Eared Ape. I've wanted to spar with you for ages, but never had the chance. I never expected to meet you here after being assigned to this side of the Xuanyong battlefield." A hearty laugh rang out.
The Black Shark Demon looked around with his ringed eyes. He could hear laughter coming from every direction, but couldn't see who was laughing.
"Lord Lion Python? I thought the Tonghai Savage Bull would be coming. I never expected they'd send you instead." Lord Six-Eared Ape looked a little surprised. "Your Water-Transformation Art has become even more masterful. But it won't work on me. Show yourself."
"It's not that it won't work on you. Your six ears are just too keen." The laughter continued to reverberate. To the Black Shark Demon's astonishment, seawater dozens of miles away, which had seemed no different from its surroundings, began to churn. As it gathered, a translucent demon took shape, with a water-jade crown on its head and a python's head atop a lion's body.
"Your Water-Python Lion's Roar has reached such a level that I wouldn't have noticed you if you hadn't come so close." Lord Six-Eared Ape looked at Lord Lion Python in surprise.
"You really are just as the rumors say: you like to keep to yourself. Coming here alone like this, aren't you afraid I might attack you?"
Before Lord Six-Eared Ape had even finished speaking, a terrifying aura swept outward. The sea for ten thousand miles around him split apart, forming a vast chasm hundreds of miles wide that separated it from the surrounding waters. The entire stretch of sea became a cube of water, as though severed from the ocean.
The Black Shark Demon and the other demons under his command couldn't
