Looking again at the Blackwater Demon Lord, the composed bearing he had worn earlier had vanished without a trace, replaced by a face full of shock and disbelief.
Just as the Sea Suppressing Venerable had said, he had truly never imagined that this reclusive cultivator from the Northwest could cultivate combat strength capable of contending for the summit within such a secluded mountain gate.
And now, faced with Chen Yang's Five Laws Bombardment, even if he brought out every shred of True Profound power within him to defend himself, he still could not withstand it all at once.
