The Eastern Sea, the Endless Sea Region.
Deep beneath the sea.
Blood.
Thick blood stained a vast stretch of water red.
The seabed was littered with monster corpses.
There were Tier Three Monsters and Level Four monsters. More terrifying still, there were clearly three low-stage Level Five Monster Beasts!
Level Five Monster Beasts were the equivalent of Venerables of the Venerable Martial Realm!
And low-stage monsters skilled in Martial Skills were no weaker than Third-Layer Venerables.
"ROAR!"
A deafening roar shook the seabed. The water churned as a massive Great Demon, hundreds of yards long and shaped like a Flood Dragon, swam in swiftly from the distance. Its entire body gleamed gold.
An overwhelming aura spread through the water.
It was a mid-stage Level Five Illusionary Golden Flood Dragon!

Now, seeing thousands of monster corpses on the seabed, fury flared in its enormous eyes.
These monsters were all warriors under the Illusionary Golden Flood Dragon's command. The three low-stage Level Five Great Demons, in particular, had been raised by the dragon itself. They had followed it through life and death, fighting at its side across the seas.
They were its brothers, as close as flesh and blood!
"Human, you're courting death!"
The Illusionary Golden Flood Dragon's cold, furious eyes locked on a young man standing atop the countless monster corpses nearby.
It had actually spoken in the human tongue!
"A mid-stage Level Five Illusionary Golden Flood Dragon, hm?"
The young man raised his head slightly and regarded the Illusionary Golden Flood Dragon with indifference, as though the creature before him were not a mid-stage Level Five Great Demon but an ordinary Level Four monster.
And yet...
