Wu Wa slowly extended his hand and gently touched the edge of the Heavy Water.
In an instant, the Heavy Water surged into Wu Wa's body, rushing toward him like a frenzy.
Yet Heavy Water was not so easily absorbed.
Wu Wa felt as though his body had become unbearably heavy, while countless sharp needles pierced his skin. Every inch of his muscles trembled in agony.
Wu Wa gritted his teeth and desperately mobilized the power within him, trying to accept and merge with this mighty yet dangerous force.
As the Heavy Water gradually spread throughout his body, Wu Wa felt as if a massive mountain were pressing down on him.
Da Wa and the other Calabash Kids, waiting in and above the sea, grew worried when they saw that Wu Wa had yet to emerge.
After absorbing the Heavy Water, Wu Wa began making his way toward its center.
He struggled forward through the Heavy Water, each step seeming to exhaust all his strength. The Heavy Water clung to his body like thick glue, severely slowing him down.
But he never gave up. He had to obtain the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
At last, he arrived before the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
Wu Wa slowly reached out and tightly grasped the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
At that instant, the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner erupted with brilliant light. Powerful energy waves spread violently outward from the flag.
The surrounding Heavy Water seemed driven by some immense force, forming enormous whirlpools that appeared ready to swallow everything.
"Wu Wa, hold on. Now is the time to test your endurance against the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner." Xiao Teng's voice echoed in Wu Wa's mind.
Wu Wa gripped the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner tightly and rushed upward with the current.
Enduring the tremendous pressure, Wu Wa finally burst out of the Heavy Water.
He also successfully claimed the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner.
But at that moment, a massive figure charged at him with incredible speed.
Wu Wa did not even have time to react. He only felt an overwhelming force slam heavily into his body.
His body jolted violently, and the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner he had just obtained flew from his hand.
Then, the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner and that figure vanished into the endless seawater.
Wu Wa was shocked and furious. "What was that thing? How dare it steal my treasure right under my nose? It's unforgivable!"
"Second Brother, did you see some guy run past me?" Wu Wa shouted anxiously.
Er Wa's expression turned grave as he searched the dark, deep waters with all his might.
"The water is too deep, and my vision is blocked. But I can roughly sense the direction he fled."
The other Calabash Kids were all filled with righteous indignation upon hearing this.
Da Wa spoke up. "Hmph! How could we let someone steal a treasure that was already ours? We must get it back. We cannot let that thief succeed."
Thus, the Calabash Kids swiftly sprang into action.
Wu Wa turned into a nimble watery shadow and pursued at high speed through the sea, while the other Calabash Kids soared through the sky.
They had only one goal: catch the figure that had stolen the treasure and fled.
"That guy should be Kunpeng," Xiao Teng transmitted.
In the Sea of Northern Darkness, aside from Kunpeng, there was likely no other creature capable of such astonishing speed.
If it had been the Dragon Clan, they would have acted arrogantly. They would not have snatched something and fled so furtively. They would certainly have robbed it openly.
Kunpeng Art was famed for its speed, so it was only natural that the Calabash Kids could not catch up.
Kunpeng had crossed a vast sea spanning billions of miles before finally coming to a stop.
His enormous body swayed gently in the water, his heart brimming with pride. In this world, perhaps no one capable of catching me has even been born yet. Once I refine this Profound Origin Water-Control Banner, the Sea of Northern Darkness, and even the entire world, will be mine.
And those hateful members of the Dragon Clan will all become my defeated subordinates!
Kunpeng had suffered plenty of bullying from the Dragon Clan in the North Sea. Once he became stronger, the first thing he would do was take revenge.
So, he found a secluded sea valley and prepared to refine the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner in peace.
However, he never imagined that Er Wa's divine ability had already firmly locked onto his location.
The Calabash Kids rapidly closed in on him.
When the Calabash Kids arrived near Kunpeng, they did not attack immediately.
While Si Wa circled in the air to observe, the other three Calabash Kids silently slipped into the water and slowly surrounded Kunpeng.
Kunpeng suddenly sensed danger rushing toward him, but it was already too late to escape.
The Calabash Kids took positions at every corner, surrounding Kunpeng.
"Give my treasure back!"
Wu Wa roared, waving both hands as he controlled the surrounding currents. Like a raging tsunami, they swept toward Kunpeng.
Kunpeng refused to yield. He violently swung his enormous tail, instantly stirring up towering waves that fiercely clashed with the currents Wu Wa controlled.
During the confrontation, Kunpeng grew anxious. These fellows really are difficult to deal with. I haven't fully refined the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner yet. If this continues, I may not be able to win. It would be wiser to retreat first.
But just as he prepared to use his escape art once more, he discovered in horror that a powerful force had bound his body, leaving him unable to move.
Da Wa had seized the opportunity and tightly grabbed Kunpeng's tail. His immense strength made it impossible for Kunpeng to advance.
Immediately afterward, Third Baby swept the spear in his hand. Its tip gleamed with cold light as it fiercely pierced Kunpeng's body.
Kunpeng suffered a grievous wound and let out a furious roar. The sound echoed through the seawater, cracking the surrounding reefs.
Then, he frantically twisted his body and used all his strength to break free from Da Wa's restraint before swimming upward like a bolt of lightning.
How could the Calabash Kids let him go so easily? They pursued him closely.
Kunpeng rushed upward, his massive body directly breaking through the sea's surface.
The moment he emerged from the sea, his form underwent a wondrous transformation. From a gigantic fish, he instantly became a majestic giant bird.
He spread his wings, which blotted out the sky, and prepared to flee through the air.
The sky is my domain. Let's see what you can do to me.
Kunpeng thought this as his speed suddenly increased.
But he had not expected Si Wa to be waiting above the water's surface long ago.
Seizing the moment, Si Wa spewed blazing flames from his mouth, striking Kunpeng directly.
Kunpeng felt searing pain spread across his entire body and let out a miserable scream.
Then, Wu Wa controlled the seawater and enclosed Kunpeng within a huge water prison.
He infused the Heavy Water within his body into the water prison, sealing Kunpeng inside completely.
The Heavy Water was like countless fine needles, madly eroding Kunpeng's body.
Kunpeng struggled violently inside the water prison, his heart filled with despair. Am I going to die here today? No, I can't die!
Kunpeng understood that only by abandoning the Profound Origin Water-Control Banner might he still have a chance to survive.
