Sea King's Eyeball

Above the clouds, thanks to the sword energy of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly, the mist above the Void Sword Sect was dispelled, allowing Song Shuhang to clearly see everything that was happening within the Void Sword Sect.

"Dead?" Song Shuhang asked.

Liu Jianyi replied, "Dead!"

His Body-and-Soul Annihilation; he was dead beyond any doubt.

With a slight twitch of her fingers, Venerable Spirit Butterfly's butterfly-shaped sword energy that filled the sky above the Void Sword Sect vanished without a trace. "It's over... Let's go, we'll head to Fellow Daoist Bai's place and find that interesting fellow."

Suddenly, Soft Feather exclaimed, "Hey, Father, that guy down there is still transforming!"

In fact, even without Soft Feather's reminder, Venerable Spirit Butterfly and Liu Jianyi noticed the changes below immediately.

The Sea Urchin Warrior Chief, who had Body-and-Soul Annihilation and was devoid of any life, suddenly rose again from the flow of blood.

To be precise, it wasn't the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief got up on its own, but rather a force from the void that pulled at its body, causing it to move like a puppet on strings.

Immediately afterwards, the 'wrathful blood' and 'True Blood' on the ground gathered together and converged on the corpse of the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief.

Song Shuhang asked in confusion, "Could it be that it's not quite dead yet?"

Liu Jianyi shook his head. "He's as dead as can be, his soul was even shredded by Master's sword energy... I guess the 'transformation' ability might have been delayed for some reason, and it's only officially starting now?"

Soft Feather immediately became very interested. "Transformation! Transformation! I really want to know what it will turn into in the end?"

As Shuhang and the others were talking, the angry blood and True Blood on the ground of the Void Sword Sect turned into streaks of blood, wrapping around the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief.

In the blink of an eye, these blood threads intertwined to form an exquisite blood-red full-body armor, tightly encasing the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief's body, making him look majestic and awe-inspiring.

The remaining blood vessels coalesced behind the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief, transforming into a blood-red cloak.

Transformation complete!

The corpse of the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief lay with its fists clenched at its waist and its legs in a horse stance. Then, as if drawn by a force from the void, it made two more punching motions...

If you disregard its embarrassing and bizarre transformation animation, its armor alone is incredibly cool.

"Transformed? Looks really cool!" Soft Feather asked, looking at the handsome Sea Urchin Warrior Chief. "Can you move?"

"Can this guy still fight?" Song Shuhang asked curiously.

Liu Jianyi: "Probably not... If we could continue fighting even after we died, that would be amazing!"

Just think about it, you don't have to do anything, and you can even continue fighting using the power of 'transformation' after you die. Doesn't that mean... you can do all sorts of things while you're asleep using your 'transformation' ability?

It's definitely a great tool for being lazy!

Unfortunately, Liu Jianyi's hopes were dashed.

After the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief's corpse completed its transformation, it collapsed to the ground again with a thud.

Clang, clang, clang—its armor, as if cast from metal, made a pleasant sound when it struck the ground.

As Liu Jianyi predicted, the transformation ability was delayed... The 'transformation power' was only transferred from the 'Sea King' after the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief was killed. Also due to the delay, even though the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief was dead, he still stubbornly completed the entire 'transformation' process.

After transforming, it continued to lie silently like a corpse.

That's incredibly dedicated!

Liu Jianyi said with immediate disappointment, "I thought it could move."

"What do you expect it to do, Jianyi?" Soft Feather asked curiously.

Liu Jianyi sighed heavily, "Forget it, it can't move anyway, there's no point in talking about it."

************************

After the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief fell to the ground, its 'transformation armor' seemed to only then realize that it was dead.

Then, the power of the 'Sea King' was transmitted from the void once again.

The Blood Armor on the Sea Urchin Warrior Chief peeled off his body on its own.

Then, something resembling a 'Space Gate' appeared next to the armor.

The being known as 'Sea King' seems to want to take this Blood Armor back with him.

"Tsk, what a pretentious fellow," said the Venerable Spirit Butterfly from the clouds.

Today I've encountered several individuals using 'space' abilities. This ability, which originally belonged only to the Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal Realm, has appeared several times today. It's quite interesting.

However, Venerable Spirit Butterfly was certain that the person opposite her was not Ninth-Grade Tribulation Immortal. Tribulation Immortal could use spatial techniques a hundred times more skillfully than this.

"How did they manage to acquire 'spatial power' through some special method?" Was it an array, a ritual? Or perhaps, like the little fellow we saw in the Chu Clan's secret chamber, they used a precious magical artifact?

Soft Feather glanced at Venerable Spirit Butterfly and said, "Father has become interested."

The Venerable Spirit Butterfly has been researching things related to 'space', and any 'space' ability that does not belong to the Tribulation Immortal Realm will arouse his curiosity.

Then, Venerable Spirit Butterfly made his move, reaching out and gently pressing down on the blood-red armor.

The surging spiritual energy descended upon the Void Sword Sect like a tsunami. In an instant, space itself seemed to solidify under the power of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly!

The remaining disciples of the Void Sword Sect immediately knelt on the ground, overwhelmed by the terrifying spiritual power.

The armor was also immobilized by the power of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly, unable to move.

Although Venerable Spirit Butterfly's research on 'space' abilities meant he couldn't use spatial power as freely as a Tribulation Immortal, he could still easily interfere with spatial teleportation.

"If you want to take this armor, I won't let you have your way." Venerable Spirit Butterfly smiled and gently raised her right hand.

The Blood Armor was pulled along and flew towards the location of the Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

The Venerable's series of actions angered the 'Sea King' who was hiding at the other end of the space. From that other end of the space came the 'Sea King's' suppressed roar.

The roar was extremely terrifying; anyone with a lower level of strength would feel their head swell and faint just from hearing it.

"Haha, are you angry? If you're very angry... then come from the other end of the space!" Venerable Spirit Butterfly said without any fear.

On the other side, Sea King's roar gradually subsided.

"It seems you can't teleport from the other side of space at all? Interesting." Venerable Spirit Butterfly grabbed with his right hand, and the exquisite Blood Armor finally landed in his hand.

Then, the Venerable swiftly unleashed several sealing techniques, sealing the armor inside and out.

"Roar!" From the other end of the space, the voice of the 'Sea King' roared like thunder.

The Space Gate suddenly expanded to about twice its Space Gate size, and then... a giant eye peered through it, looking towards the colorful clouds above the Void Sword Sect.

Its eyes are enormous, with the eyeballs alone measuring around five meters in diameter. It's hard to imagine how big its entire body must be.

"Finally willing to show yourself?" Venerable Spirit Butterfly asked.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy Space Gate transformed into hundreds of sword energies, piercing towards the 'Sea King's' enormous eye.

The sword energy pierced through the Space Gate and struck the enormous eye.

"Aaaaaah!" the 'Sea King' on the other side screamed.

The sword energy failed to injure its eyes, but it caused them considerable pain.

After screaming and roaring, Sea King glared hatefully at the Venerable Spirit Butterfly in the air one last time before decisively closing the Space Gate.

Soft Feather: "It ran away? I thought it was going to come out and fight Father three hundred rounds."

"It looks very powerful. Is this Sea King?" Liu Jianyi asked.

"It should be the Sea King without a doubt. It's a pity I don't know what the environment is like on the other side, so it's not good to just rush over." Venerable Spirit Butterfly murmured. Otherwise, he really wanted to cross that Space Gate directly and have a good fight with this 'Sea King'.

Although the opponent only revealed one eye, Venerable Spirit Butterfly could sense that it was a powerful being at the Seventh-Grade Venerable level.

"Forget it, let's capture some more Sea Urchin Warrior later and study them to see what exactly the 'Sea King' is," said Venerable Spirit Butterfly. Then, he grabbed the Blood Armor, intending to put it into his spatial equipment and take it back to Spirit Butterfly Island for further study.

However, when the Venerable tried to store the armor in his spatial storage, he found that he couldn't fit it into the storage space no matter what he tried.

"Tsk, quite a few tricks up your sleeve," said Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

If the Blood Armor cannot be loaded into the spatial equipment, it means that the 'Sea King' could suddenly intervene and pull the Blood Armor away at any time. That would be very troublesome.

"Fine, if it really doesn't work, then just destroy it," said Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

This Blood Armor wasn't particularly powerful; it was only at the level of Fifth-Grade Spirit Emperor. It wouldn't have been difficult for Venerable Spirit Butterfly to shatter it.

The Venerable Spirit Butterfly had barely finished speaking.

In the void, the Space Gate suddenly opened again, and the Sea King's enormous eye reappeared. This time, it hastily launched an attack, releasing a ghastly white beam of light from its eye, which blasted towards the Venerable Spirit Butterfly.

It values this armor highly?

"Haha." Venerable Spirit Butterfly flicked her finger, and a Bronze Ancient Mirror appeared in front of her, easily blocking the ray attack from the giant eye.

Then, Venerable Spirit Butterfly punched the crimson armor.

The crimson armor was instantly shattered by the Venerable...

"Hiss..." The Sea King Space Gate let out a painful cry, as if it wasn't his Blood Armor that had been shattered, but his entire body.

After the screams, Sea King glanced resentfully at Venerable Spirit Butterfly, then closed the Space Gate once more.

The Venerable Spirit Butterfly stood motionless on the cloud. After a moment, he chuckled, "The marking was successful."

When that 'Sea King' reappeared, Venerable Spirit Butterfly secretly used a very discreet 'location-locking' marking method to mark the other party.

Although the other party may immediately notice the mark, it doesn't matter. As long as there is a moment for Venerable Spirit Butterfly to lock onto the location, that will be enough.

At that moment... fragments of the shattered crimson armor scattered across the colorful clouds. Several pieces landed beside Song Shuhang.
