"The true master of this place?"
Huang Longshi was startled, then immediately looked toward the deep sea.
It was only at this moment that he sensed something, and his expression turned solemn: "A Great Evil Demon?! With such a small-scale blood sacrifice, how could it possibly attract the body of a Great Evil Demon?"
"The difference between a madman and a normal person lies in never being reasonable."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled slightly, his gaze seemingly penetrating the infinite deep sea, seeing the colossal shadow that was constantly approaching.
The upper body resembled the legendary tide giant, while the lower body was made up entirely of tentacles akin to countless octopuses, covered in numerous suction cups.
It was like a beautiful maiden fused with a hideous octopus.
Ugly yet beautiful, ferocious yet gentle... all sorts of contradictions achieved a perfect combination upon its body.
This form was enough to drive any ordinary person who saw it into madness and chaos.
"It's the Jellyfish Saintess!"
Huang Long Great Saint's expression was solemn.
Zhong Shenxiu recalled a description from a secret volume.
This Jellyfish Saintess is rumored to be the daughter born of the Heavenly Elder, possessing authority over the sea and fertility, often appearing in the Western Sea Domain, though there's always the chance of occasionally touring the Eastern Sea Domain.
In the Western World, she has another more frightening name—Beihai Giant Demon, Leviathan, and Mermaid Mother!
This Jellyfish Saintess enjoys attacking and dragging ships with massive octopus tentacles, bringing terror and devastation to the former Western maritime industry, and also birthing demonic offspring—the mermaid clan.
It's said these mermaids are exceptionally ugly, a combination of human and fish, yet their bodies are covered with tumors, enjoying using their terrifying voice to hypnotize sailors, making them believe they've seen beauties and treasures, leading them to the sea and becoming prey.
"Indeed, the mindset of these great evils is completely unfathomable."
Huang Long Great Saint nodded: "This time, let's see how I drive away this fiend!"
His body began to swell rapidly, continuously elongating, eventually transforming into a terrifying worm-like entity ten times larger than the Giant Devouring Sea Worm.
Claws, tentacles, and appendages grew from its body, turning it into a horrific monster resembling both a dragon and a dragon-serpent, both a worm and a centipede!
Of course, Huang Long Great Saint still believed that what he transformed into was the legendary Divine Beast—Huang Long!
Thus he named the classic text he comprehended by fusing himself with two great classics—Yellow Dragon Saint Visualization!
Roar!
The colossal Huang Long plunged into the sea, letting out a bizarre roar, charging toward the Beihai Giant Demon.
Boom!
The impact felt like a sea quake, raising massive waves on the surface, forming a terrifying whirlpool.
The dreadful tsunami further submerged the pitiful cannibal tribe by the shore.
"Huang Longshi truly deserves the title of a sectarian Great Saint, his mana is powerful... able to guard the Ten Thousand Island Sea Domain for years... is not merely a reputation in vain."
Zhong Shenxiu stood upon the sea, praising.
In the murky sea bottom, countless schools of fish, hermit crabs, starfish, jellyfish, and many more sea monsters were fleeing in panic.
They swam desperately, trying to distance themselves from the two giant beasts battling, though only a handful were lucky enough to escape.
Most were affected by the battlefield, and some even died or mutated due to the massive spiritual alien force...
After back-and-forth confrontations for half an hour, the Beihai Giant Demon let out a piercing scream, voluntarily retreating to escape into the deep sea.
Seeing the Great Evil Demon retreat voluntarily, Huang Long Great Saint breathed a long sigh of relief.
If the fight continued, though he could defeat the opponent, kill it was absolutely impossible.
Conversely, once prolonged, it could advance his symptoms of Dao transformation signs.
Therefore, upon witnessing the Beihai Giant Demon escape, he immediately stopped, not pursuing.
"This time driving away this fiend should keep it in check for a while, not daring to invade for at least ten years!"
Huang Longshi surfaced, proudly stated.
"Excellent!"
Zhong Shenxiu clapped his hands in praise: "I've observed your Divine Skills, fellow Daoist. Now I have my own hand, I'd like you to appraise!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, seemingly condensing the sea into inches, arriving above the Beihai Giant Demon: "Come out!"
Rumble!
The sky suddenly grew dark, countless seawater surged into the sky, revealing the hideous and ugly tentacles and suction cups of the Beihai Giant Demon, its female giant's face displaying a mix of anger and fear.
"A single word overturns seas and rivers?"
Huang Long Great Saint was stunned witnessing this scene.
At this moment in the sky, a full moon appeared, delicate threads interwoven across the universe.
Since attaining Great Saint status, Zhong Shenxiu was entirely different from before.
Now he chuckled lightly, as countless moonlight shone upon the Beihai Giant Demon, causing even its skin impervious to Ninth Realm Practitioners to begin rotting, revealing ferocious wounds.
Delicate threads continuously entered through the wounds, seemingly drilling into the Beihai Giant Demon's deepest depths.
"Taiyin Refining, Liberation's Sword!"
Zhong Shenxiu drew his fingers into a sword, and a crystalline Sword Qi appeared on his fingertips.
It not only stood for sharpness, but also represented the culmination of the authority he mastered, his body undergoing transformation, claws growing, his visage like spiritual clouds.
"Ah!"
Huang Longshi lowered his head, two fine lines of blood streaming from his eyes.
Even a Great Saint, observing this state of transformation, would be injured!
And the Sword Qi made Huang Longshi feel unparalleled danger.
As though... if faced with that sword, he would have a sign of falling!
Slash!
Zhong Shenxiu flicked out his finger, the crystalline Sword Light pierced into the Beihai Giant Demon's head.
The Great Evil Demon shuddered all over, then its fierce aura rapidly diminished, to the point of nearly being negligible, plunging into the sea, raising huge waves.
"Striking the great evil, heavily wounding it..."
Huang Longshi was pale, murmuring repeatedly.
He could sense that the Beihai Giant Demon was heavily wounded, as if nearly dead.
This kind of achievement, akin to striking the Elephant Master, faintly compared with the Banshan Great Saint as the first among Great Saints!
Sizzle!
Countless seawater condensed, transforming into diamond-like crystals, forming a semi-transparent island atop the Beihai Giant Demon's head.
"This island can be named—Taiyin!"
Zhong Shenxiu landed on Taiyin Island, announcing calmly.
...
At this moment.
On some islands, the light on altars worshipping the Beihai Giant Demon extinguished instantly, all Dao Rhythm vanished without a trace.
More sectarian human cultivators related to ocean secret techniques suddenly felt relieved, as if freed from a massive shackle, their cultivation and path-making began advancing rapidly...
