At the bottom of the golden lake, within an inconspicuous barrier, all manner of powerful auras clashed.
The Annihilation Sea beast let out a roar, powerful waves of air sweeping from its body. It was a sea beast at the first-tier lower Great Emperor Realm!
Having absorbed the power of the Immortal Lake water year after year, its strength was enough to rival that of a second-tier lower Great Emperor!
Unfortunately, within the Nine Heavens Divine Dragon Barrier, the aura of battle could not spread outside at all.
"Roar!"
The Annihilation Sea beast was utterly enraged. They understood their mission. Every Annihilation Sea beast had shrunk its body and slept within the lake, retaining only its instincts as it drifted about.
Their mission was to protect the small mound in the golden lake!
Now, this Annihilation Sea beast had discovered that someone was at the bottom of the lake, stealing the Immortal Lake water. This was a cultivation resource they normally used!
The sea beast was furious. Dragon-like and tiger-like, its roar shook the heavens as it opened its mouth and blasted out a terrifying beam of light.
Yet when that beam struck the Divine Dragon Barrier, there was not even a fart of a reaction—not a single ripple rose!
Immediately afterward, a massive Eight Trigrams Mirror descended and began viciously smashing its head.
"Roar!"
The sea beast was dizzy and disoriented, its body swaying unsteadily. Then countless Geng Metal Divine Thunder talismans exploded around it, turning its usually proud, tough hide charred black.
The agonizing pain nearly robbed it of its senses. Before it could retaliate, a horrifying blade-light flashed past at tremendous speed. Its enormous head hit the ground, and blood gushed forth in torrents!
A sea beast at the first-tier lower Great Emperor Realm had been slain
