Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Roar…

Fearing Yang Ling’s exceptional close combat abilities, the Sea Dragons did not dare to approach him recklessly, each of them using magical attacks of various kinds. Some of them shot out icicle after icicle, and others released bolts of Wind Daggers. Most of them used heavy water columns or a rain of water arrows. The spells rained down from above, never-ending!

As a top-notch Magical Beast of the ocean, Sea Dragons were natural water element Spellcasters. When doing battle in the ocean, even the Dark Dragons who were hailed as the lords of the continent did not dare to take their attacks head-on.

Whoosh…

After tilting his body to avoid a giant icicle, looking at the violent rain of water arrows and water pillars, Yang Ling turned to retreat. The attacks of the Sea Dragon cannot break through his physical defenses and instantly cause fatal damage. However, the feeling of being unable to deal with the spells and having his blood course through his body after being hit was not enjoyable. It was better for him to retreat temporarily.

As long as he could escape the old witch’s Space Bind and summon the Magical Beast Army, he would naturally be able to defeat these Sea Dragons without effort. There was no need to risk his life against them for the time being!

“Hmph, let’s see where else you can run off to?” The old witch riding on the Sea Dragon King was hot in pursuit, instructing the Sea Dragons to unleash manic attacks while she gripped tightly on her magical staff and started muttering. Waves of obscure energy ripples quickly appeared in the air. Soon, Yang Ling, who was retreating hastily, felt his body tremble. His body was getting heavier and heavier, his speed getting slower as if he had encountered an invisible resistance.

“Oh, Gravity Restriction?” Yang Ling’s expression turned grave as he looked at the Sea Dragons chasing after him. At the same time, the confusion in his heart grew.

Even though the ripples of energy were a little different, the spell of the old witch was too similar to the Gravity Restriction. Coupled with the Space Bind that felt extremely similar to the Soul Restriction, Yang Ling had every reason to suspect her identity. If not for the fact that he could not sense any ripples of Wizard Power coming from the body of the other party, Yang Ling would not have doubted if the old witch was a Great Soul Wizard like him.

Could this old witch be the so-called Ancient Wizard, or their…

As the gravity increased, Yang Ling became more certain that this old witch had come connection to the Ancient Wizards of this world. Even though he could not sense the ripples of Wizard Power within her body, her influence on gravity and the soul was too similar to the abilities a Great Wizard would use.

“Hahaha, go and die, go and die!” Seeing that Yang Ling’s speed was getting slower and that he was being hit continuously by the icicles and water pillars of the Sea Dragons, the old witch laughed smugly, “Even a High-level Deity would not be able to escape death within my Space Bind and Gravity Space, much less a Low-level Deity like you!”

The old witch was extremely confident in the spells she got in the bottom of the Sea of Death. Over the thousands of years, she had spent a great deal of effort to finally decipher three spells from the mysterious stele she unintentionally obtained — Space Bind, Gravity Space and Teleportation. Even though she only had three techniques, they were enough to make her unparalleled in the ocean, allowing her to make many powerful old monsters submit.

Roar…

Seeing Yang Ling’s speed get slower and slower, the Sea Dragons roared loudly, not only unleashing a blanketing number of magical attacks. They also gradually extended their claws and fangs, engaging in experimental close combat attacks. Even though the giant dragon race had exceptional gifts when it came to magical spells, but they enjoyed using their powerful bodies to engage in close combat more. They loved the feeling of tearing their enemies to shreds, and the Sea Dragons were no exception.

“Hmph, you old monster that refuses to die, come, let me show you what the true Gravity Restriction is!” After being pushed back by the tail of a Sea Dragon, Yang Ling let out a dull grunt as he instantly subjected the creature that launched a surprise attack on him to sixty-four times the gravity. The creature was instantly rendered unable to move as if he was locked in place, and then his heart was crushed by Yang Ling’s fist.

Boom…

With merely a punch, Yang Ling’s fist created a gaping hole in the body of the unlucky Sea Dragon. Its internal organs had burst, some even shaken to become a pile of mush. It let out a pitiful cry before falling into the ocean, motionless.

One, two…

Yang Ling’s speed had decreased drastically under the influence of the old witch’s Space Bond and Gravity Space. However, the Sea Dragons that were hit by his gravity became even slower. Against Yang Ling’s hammer-like fist, the luckier Sea Dragons escaped with minor injuries, while the rest died on the spot.

“Quick, use magic attacks, don’t let him get close!” After avoiding Yang Ling’s counter-attacking while riding on the speedy Sea Dragon King, the old witch instructed the many Sea Dragons to scatter and use their powerful magic attacks on the sluggish Yang Ling. She muttered incessantly, expending a great amount of her Divine Power to increase the strength of her Space Bind and Gravity Space. She had turned pale, once again shocked by Yang Ling’s strength!

An ordinary person would have difficulties even breathing after being trapped by the Space Bind and Gravity Space, and could only sit and await death, much less counter-attack. She did not expect Yang Ling to possess such powerful battle capabilities still. Not only did he not sit by idly and await capture, he instead killed off one powerful Sea Dragon after the other!

How powerful would he be if he managed to escape the embattlement and have the restrictions of the Space Bind and Gravity Space removed?

Seeing Yang Ling dodge from side to side, the expression of the old witch turned grave. Ever since she advanced to become a Mid-level Deity and deciphered the powerful spells from the mysterious stele, she had never encountered an enemy that was as powerful as Yang Ling. Fortunately for her, she had noticed his tracks early and seized the opportunity to launch an ambush. Otherwise, the outcome would be disastrous if he managed to infiltrate into Evil Demon Island and suddenly launch a fierce attack!

Whoosh…

With their advantage in speed, the Sea Dragons roamed around the area, no longer facing off directly against Yang Ling. Instead, they released rains of water pillars, attempting to use their concentrated magic spells to injure their terrifying opponent Yang Ling severely. As Yang Ling got slower, the Sea Dragons launched even more powerful attacks, releasing a violent barrage of attacks. Thick water pillars came from all directions, sealing Yang Ling’s movements.

From far away, the radius in which the battle was happening seemed to be covered in a thick fog. Other than the deafening roars and the occasional pitiful cry, all they could see was the faint figure of Sea Dragons flying in the air. With the water element magic of the Sea Dragons, columns of water sprang out from all directions. A giant vortex soon appeared on the surface of the ocean, tearing the fish and shrimp who had not been able to avoid the area in time into pieces.

Boom…

After being hit by a few thick water columns, Yang Ling involuntarily let out a dull grunt, blood seeping out of his skin.

If not for the old witch’s Space Bind and Gravity Space, he would have been able to kill these domain-level Sea Dragons no matter how many of them there were. However, with the restrictions the old witch had placed on him, the situation changed immediately. Dozens of Sea Dragons attacked in unison, releasing a blanket of water columns, water arrows, and icicles. Even though the attacks were unable to break through his physical defenses, the impact was as if he had been hit by a high-pressure jet of water.

He felt a wave of pain course through his skin, and the blood in his body got churned around by the impact! Even worse, the crafty old witch riding on the Sea Dragon King was in hot pursuit, and Yang Ling was unable to escape the radius of the Space Bind and Gravity Space no matter which direction he ran to!

The situation was getting increasingly worse!

Faced with a barrage of magic attacks, Yang Ling knew that he would not be able to last much longer even if he were to use a great amount of Wizard Power to cast Ground Guardian. As long as he continued to be trapped in the old witch’s Space Bind and Gravity Space, his Wizard Power will eventually deplete no matter how deep his reserves ran!

Water, the even-present water from the ocean!

After turning his body to avoid a giant icicle, touching the seawater on his face, Yang Ling had an inspiration, suddenly coming up with an idea. He forced the Wizard Core to pulse at full power, manically summoning a blanket of lightning arcs!

Boom…

Water can conduct electricity. Under the effects of the water vapor, the arcs of lightning spread far and wide, intertwining as they quickly formed a three-dimensional web of lightning. Compared to its counterpart on land, this web of lightning was even more powerful and could last a long time. The web enveloped the old witch and all of the Sea Dragons.

Water and lightning intertwined, releasing a power that even Yang Ling did not expect!

Caught off guard, the Sea Dragons had nowhere to hide, all of them being electrocuted to a crisp. The crackling bolts of lightning dug into the bodies of the Sea Dragons through the gaps in their scales, through their mouths, ears, and pores. The Sea Dragons instantly became numb, and the old witch was no exception.

Lightning coming into contact with water was as if a match was thrown into petrol, its power increasing in intensity!

“Ah, Law of Lightning…” The old witch let out a pathetic cry, her aged white hair standing due to the shock. She retreated hastily while riding on the charred Sea Dragon King.

After taking the upper hand, she had wanted to admire the pain Yang Ling was going through before he died. She did not expect that Yang Ling would suddenly launch such a terrifying retaliation even when he was going through such a terrible situation! The wild concentrated web of lightning came suddenly, sparing no one. They all instantly became numb, and their hearts nearly stopped beating.

Now is the time, charge!

Whoosh…

Seizing the opportunity when the Sea Dragons and the old witch was numb, Yang Ling quickly charged out of the radius of the Space Bind and Gravity Space, then waved his hand to summon the Magical Beast Army. The tides have turned. Now, it was time to let the many Sea Dragons and the old witch have a taste of how it’s like to be surrounded.

Roar…

The flying Magical Beasts like the Dark Dragons, Twin-legged Flying Dragons, Horned Bee Beasts, and Self-destructing Bats roared loudly, swarming outward toward the many Sea Dragons and old witch. The Nine-headed Snake King was the faster, taking the forefront as it killed a Sea Dragon with a swipe of its claw. It opened its mouths to unleash blazing flames and sharp Wind Daggers. The Dark Dragon King followed closely behind, snapping the neck of a Sea Dragon with its bite…

Magical Beasts, a blanket of Magical Beasts!

Even though the speed of the Magical Beasts had dropped considerably under the effects of the old witch’s Space Bind and Gravity Space, however, the numbers of the Magical Beast Army was too large. They heavily surrounded the Sea Dragons like a tide.

Ants could bite an enemy to death with their numbers. Furthermore, these ants were even more terrifying than the elephant itself!

Even the low-level Magical Beasts like the Horned Bee Beasts and Self-destructing Bats made the Sea Dragons suffer, much less the terrifying creatures like the Nine-headed Snake King, Dark Dragon King, and Flying Dragon King. Unavoidable poisonous stingers, Self-destructing Bats that exploded in waves, as well as the sturdy spider webs and the corrosive poison of the Flying Spiders… The Sea Dragons had trouble dealing with all of them.

In an instant, a dozen Sea Dragons became heavily injured, wailing pitifully before falling from the sky before being subjugated by the speedy Yang Ling. As top-notch Magical Beasts that lorded over the ocean, the Sea Dragons might not be as strong in physical combat when compared to the Dark Dragons, but they had the advantage when it comes to magic. Their abilities were boosted even further in the boundless ocean.

Taming a large group of Sea Dragons was as if he gained an army that had mastery over both physical combat and magic, further boosting the strength of the Magical Beast Army. In fact, he might even be able to use this bunch of Sea Dragons to attack Evil Demon Island, dealing a fatal blow to the Sea Dragons at the critical moment!

After instructing the Magical Beast Army to surround the enemies and firmly establishing the upper hand, Yang Ling would naturally not miss such a great opportunity!

When dealing with an enemy, it was important to aim for the leader first!

Boom…

Under Yang Ling’s command, the Nine-headed Snake King charged straight for the Sea Dragon King the old witch was riding on. Merely a charge was enough to break the skullcap of the latter, nearly shattering all the bones in its body. Following that, the claw of the Nine-headed Snake King tore off a piece of the Sea Dragon King’s flesh along with its skin, while its sharp Wind Dagger sliced open its abdomen. It used its nine heads in unison, unleashing a barrage of flames, icicles, and Wind Daggers, launching a never-ending stream of attacks.

Divine-level Magical Beast, a Divine-level Magical Beasts with abilities equivalent to a Mid-level Deity at his peak!

Looking at the kilometer-long Nine-headed Snake King who sent chills down their spines with both its physical ability and magic, the Sea Dragons trembled, instantly losing their courage to fight. Even the powerful old witch could not help but swallow with difficulty.

Even though she had already known that the Great Demon King Yang Ling could summon a large number of Magical Beasts to do battle, but she would never have expected him to possess such a terrifying number of flying Magical Beasts! She did not expect there to be a Divine-level Magical Beast with abilities at the peak of a Mid-level Deity within his army!

“Hmph, I’ll be back!” The old witch was furious, waving her hands to unfold a scroll. She suddenly released a large blob of black fog like a squid, trying her best to fend off the terrifying Nine-headed Snake King and the Magical Beast Army.

Whoosh…

With her command, the heavily injured Sea Dragon King turned to run, escaping with all his might. As an experienced old Sea Demon, seeing that she had lost her advantage, she knew that she could not reverse the situation anymore. She had no choice but to retreat hastily, the Space Bind and Gravity Space scattering as she ran.
