Longqi's face twisted. Without another word, he thrust both hands toward Azure Dragon:
"Sage Art: Abyssal Devouring!"
With Azure Dragon at its center, seawater collapsed inward from every direction! This was no simple compression. It was a devouring of space itself. The Water Demon Qi turned the seawater into a black-hole-like gravitational field, bent on crushing and absorbing Azure Dragon!
