Storms Gather, Lightning Surges! The Vast Sea Rages, the Four-Armed Sea Ape!
An incense stick burned for a while, but there was still no movement.
Two incense sticks burned out, and still, all was silent.
Shi Jian lay down behind a huge coral reef, his mind returning to peace.
His Divine Sense expanded to its limit, covering a sea area of about a hundred miles in radius. Under the effect of the Water-Avoidance Pearl, the seawater did not interfere with his Divine Sense.
Sudden--
A deep, muffled roar echoed from the depths of Black Wind Abyss.
Even through the seawater, the vibrations still made Shi Jian's eardrums ring.
Immediately afterwards, the seawater at the mouth of the abyss began to surge violently.
A violent spiritual pressure, like an underwater volcano erupting, shot into the sky from the crack, its terrifying demonic power sweeping in all directions!
Shi Jian narrowed his eyes slightly.
It's here!
A huge blue-gray hand emerged from the edge of the Black Wind Abyss, its four fingers as thick as pillars, gripping the rock wall at the edge of the crack.
The rock shattered and collapsed rapidly beneath that palm!
Immediately afterwards, another hand reached out.
Then came the third one.
The fourth one.
The Four-Armed Sea Ape slowly climbed out of the abyss, its appearance somewhat eerie, much like a sea spider, quite unsettling.
When the giant beast emerged from the Sea Abyss, Shi Jian finally saw its full form.
It was a full six zhang tall, even taller than Shi Jian's five zhang body, and its whole body was covered with a layer of short, dense blue-gray fur that gleamed with a metallic cold light in the darkness of the deep sea.
It had four thick, powerful arms, each hand the size of a millstone, with translucent webbed membranes between its fingers, giving it a bizarre appearance.
A curved, dark blue horn stands upright in the center of its head, with rings of light blue patterns wrapped around its body.
A third eye is embedded in its forehead, with a deep blue pupil that emits an eerie glow.
This is exactly the key ingredient that True Person Qingshan needed!
It trailed a cow's tail behind it, with a tuft of bluish-black bristles at the tip, which swayed slowly in the water, disturbing the undercurrent.
The Sea Ape Beast stepped onto the edge of the abyss, its four arms suddenly spread out, and it raised its head and let out a furious roar!
The roar transformed into tangible sound waves, shattering all the rocks within a radius of dozens of feet. Its powerful aura was faintly present on the Shi Jian.
Level 5 Demon General.
The Great Water Dao Demon.
The absolute ruler of this sea area.
Shi Jian's fur stood on end instantly, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. This wasn't fear, but excitement, a kind of primal, fighting instinct!
This Sea Ape Beast is at least half a level stronger than Yan Qiu.
In water combat, Water Dao Demon Beast have a natural advantage. The combat power of this giant beast is probably comparable to that of Human Race cultivator in the Golden Core Middle Stage.
"Monkey, die!"
Shi Jian made the first move.
A five-zhang-tall Lightning Bear transformed into a streak of purple-gold lightning in the deep sea, rushing straight at the Sea Ape Beast. When it made its move, it was with overwhelming force!
The Thunder Pill within his body circulated wildly, and the Purple Firmament Divine Lightning rapidly condensed on his body surface along the trajectory of the "Mad Lightning Demon Codex".
Divine Ability: Lightning Armor!
A layer of purplish-gold solid lightning covered his entire body, from skin and fur to bones, wrapping him layer by layer, accompanied by thunderous roars and Frenzied Thunder!
The moment the Lightning Armor took shape, Shi Jian's explosive power increased several times over.
The Sea Ape Beast's third eye was also wide open.
Although they are Demon General of the same rank, their aura is quite strong, suggesting they are some kind of Heaven and Earth Variant Species. It's just a mystery why this land-based Demon General would venture into the deep sea seeking trouble...
"Roll!"
The Four-Armed Sea Ape growled softly, showing no sign of retreating.
This is its territory; there's no reason for it to retreat!
Then, its two lower arms suddenly slammed into the seawater.
"Boom--!"
The seawater within a radius of about one mile was instantly drawn and condensed, transforming into a hundred-foot-long water column that, carrying the weight of the vast ocean, crashed head-on towards Shi Jian.
To control the vast ocean, water is the foundation.
The power of this strike is enough to level a Xiaoshan!
Shi Jian neither dodged nor avoided.
A burst of purple-gold light erupted from his Lightning Armor as he physically confronted the water column!
"Bang--!"
The water column burst open, and the waves scattered.
Shi Jian's body was pushed back dozens of feet, and fine cracks appeared on the surface of his Lightning Armor, but they were repaired in the blink of an eye.
That's awesome! Again!
Shi Jian grinned coldly, his fighting spirit blazing!
He steadied himself, and with a flick of his claws, countless arcs of purple-gold lightning exploded in the water, spreading outwards with the seawater!
Even in the sea, Dao of Lightning is no less formidable!
"Hiss hiss hiss--"
Countless lightning snakes spread along the seawater, sweeping towards the Sea Ape Beast.
The Sea Ape Beast roared, its arms crossed above to shield itself, instantly forming a water shield several meters in diameter. The lightning that struck the water shield was diverted and neutralized.
Like punching cotton, Shi Jian's attack failed to have the slightest effect.
However, feigning weakness is also part of the plan.
Shi Jian's mission is not to kill it underwater, but to lure it up!
Shi Jian fought and retreated, seemingly completely suppressed, until he gradually shifted the battlefield towards the sea...
"What exactly does this land monster want?"
Could there be an ambush?
"With the beast tide approaching, do Human Race dare to venture into the deep sea at this time? Are they courting death?"
The Sea Ape Beast opened its third eye and examined the bear demon repeatedly, but it still couldn't discern any signs of enslavement...
He had been wondering what if this clumsy bear was enslaved by Human Race.
He could also find a way to free the bear from its enslavement and restore its freedom, but after examining it repeatedly, he still couldn't discern anything unusual about the bear demon.
There was nothing unusual, yet they dared to provoke him.
This only fueled the Sea Ape Beast's curiosity. It wanted to see what this simple-minded bear's purpose was and who was plotting against him!
The next moment.
The giant ape moved all four arms together, its massive body chasing after the enemy at an incredible speed in the water, supported by countless undercurrents, and rushed straight to the surface of the sea!
Two enormous figures, one in front of the other, rapidly ascended from the deep sea to the surface.
Along the way, the Sea Ape Beast raised its right upper arm, condensing a bright blue water blade formed from the power of the vast ocean, and slashed towards Shi Jian's back!
Shi Jian felt a chill run down his spine as the Lightning Armor instantly thickened on his back.
"Clang!"
The water blade struck the Lightning Armor, cutting through a layer of purple-gold light, but failed to damage its surface.
That's it?
Shi Jian raised an eyebrow, turned around and swung his claw. A bolt of lightning struck the Sea Ape Beast's horn, and the arc of electricity traveled along the horn, instantly spreading throughout its entire body.
The Sea Ape Beast roared in pain, but the damage was not significant.
The two sides fought back and forth, battling from the seabed all the way to the surface.
finally--
"Boom!"
Two enormous objects simultaneously burst through the sea surface, and seawater poured down from mid-air like a waterfall, instantly creating turbulent waves and dark clouds.
Shi Jian stood firmly on the sea with his four claws, and lightning evaporated the seawater, causing a large cloud of white mist to rise.
The Sea Ape Beast, with a body six zhang long, stood on the sea surface, its four arms outstretched, its horns pointing to the sky, and its third eye emitting a ghostly blue light.
At its feet, the seawater within a radius of several miles surged violently!
"Now!"
"Why aren't you two making a move?!"
Shi Jian roared.
On both sides, Yun Du and True Person Qingshan appeared simultaneously and unleashed their killing moves.
Yun Du unleashed his Life-Bound Law Treasure, using it as a base and combining it with twelve array flags to set up a trapping array in the air. Instantly, a magnificent cloud palace occupied the sky, with countless Cloud Lock emerging from the heavy clouds!
In an instant, thousands of Cloud Lock bound the Sea Ape Beast's limbs, locking it firmly in place.
True Person Qingshan then threw out a bronze mirror from his sleeve. Dozens of eerie green lights shot out from the mirror, instantly conjuring up many highly poisonous monsters that dominated the world and formed an encirclement!
The Sea Ape Beast was trapped on the surface of the sea by being surrounded from three sides.
Realizing it had fallen into a trap, the Sea Ape Beast suddenly unleashed a beam of mysterious light from its third eye, shooting straight into the sky. Wherever the beam passed, the clouds above exploded, followed by a torrential downpour!
This is not ordinary rain.
Rather, it is imbued with the essence of Tao, each drop of water containing the power of the vast ocean...
Dense, arrow-like water droplets rained down from the sky, transforming into countless water blades that poured down on the two men and the bear, covering an area of several miles, filled with murderous intent intent!
"They've arrived."
Shi Jian let out a low roar and advanced instead of retreating.
With his Lightning Armor fully activated, a purple-gold light burned fiercely on his body as he charged straight at the Sea Ape Beast, facing the barrage of water blades!
He needed to keep it close to buy time for Yun Du and Qingshan's formation.
This battle has only just begun!
The Sea Ape Beast simultaneously swung out all four arms, carrying the power of half the sea, crashing down like the collapse of the sky and the splitting of the earth.
Shi Jian's eyes blazed with purple light, and he opened his blood-red maw.
The Nine-Pattern Lightning Core within his body spun wildly, a storm descended, accompanied by Frenzied Thunder; the storm and thunder continuously converged and manifested.
Torrential rain, storm, Frenzied Thunder, and swirling clouds!
In an instant, the Daoist principles manifested in this world, and countless tornadoes gathered on the sponge, as if a catastrophe had descended upon the world.
Amidst the storm, the phantom of a giant bear roared, accompanied by thunder!
Furthermore, there was a giant ape phantom, appearing to Heaven-Supporting, with the myriad seas converging and Violent Thunder vying for supremacy, thus displaying the power of the Dao.
The two collided, and giant waves surged.
Seeing that they had exchanged a punch and neither could gain the upper hand, the bear and the ape retreated simultaneously.
The third eye on the Sea Ape Beast's forehead suddenly opened, unleashing a mental shock followed by a burst of brilliant light!
Shi Jian's soul was struck hard.
"Buzz--!"
A sharp pain shot through my head, and the storm and thunder seemed to dissipate.
"This is... a soul attack?!"
