111: In the desolate realm of ice and fire, the shark horde was wiped out.

"Not good!"

Lu Yuan's heart tightened; he didn't know if this shield could hold up!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul also sensed the danger; the Shark King's dorsal fin was extremely sharp!

Its master was in danger!

It desperately twisted its head.

"Rip—"

A slicing sound rang out!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul slammed its Little Turtle head into the Shark King!

At the same time, the opponent's dorsal fin also fiercely slashed across its neck!

Dark blue blood instantly gushed out, staining a small patch of seawater!

A clearly visible wound appeared on the side of the giant turtle's thick neck!

Weak point breached!

"Roar!!!!"

Pain and rage made the Raging Waves Sea Soul let out a furious roar that shook the heavens!

Its massive body suddenly trembled, and it charged recklessly at the Shark King that had successfully ambushed it!

The Shark King, having landed a blow, intended to flee far away, but unexpectedly, the Raging Waves Sea Soul reacted so violently.

It was locked onto by the giant turtle's furious aura and was momentarily unable to break free!

"Damn it!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

"It seems I can't hold back any longer!"

He took a deep breath, and the Source Power within him surged towards a gold Origin Card at an unprecedented speed!

"Caw—!!!"

A high-pitched, clear phoenix cry, as if it could pierce through the clouds, suddenly resounded throughout this deep sea!

The gold light, even more brilliant and overbearing than when the Raging Waves Sea Soul appeared, shone forth!

The giant turtle ascended, and behind Lu Yuan, a massive phantom was rapidly condensing!

A gigantic phoenix phantom with a wingspan of nearly ten meters broke through the obstruction of the seawater and descended with imposing might!

Its entire body was a glacial, ethereal blue, but the edges of its wings burned with a pale white flame, appearing even more eerie against the backdrop of the ocean!

The moment it appeared, the seawater beneath it solidified at a visible speed, transforming into a huge, crystal-clear ice crystal throne!

The phoenix stood proudly on the throne, its eyes indifferently watching the chaotic battlefield below, like a deity overlooking the mortal world!

The Winter Frostflame Phoenix!

"Good heavens, this is the true phoenix form!"

Lu Yuan was also momentarily stunned by the full form of his card.

Previously, when fighting De Xiner, only a skill prototype had been summoned.

But now, with abundant Source Power, the Winter Frostflame Phoenix finally revealed its true form!

The several Shark Kings, originally brimming with fierce might, all paused their movements the instant the Winter Frostflame Phoenix appeared.

They were stunned!

They felt a fear originating from the depths of their bloodline!

"Caw—!"

The Winter Frostflame Phoenix let out another phoenix cry, gracefully flapping its ice-blue wings, which burned with pale flames.

"Frozen Domain of Absolute Zero!"

In an instant, centered around the ice crystal throne, an extreme chill, visible to the naked eye, spread wildly in all directions!

Within a radius of several hundred meters, the water flow seemed to have been paused!

Immediately after, dense freezing sounds of "crunch, crunch" were incessant!

The seawater was solidifying at a terrifying speed!

In just one or two seconds, this once turbulent sea area had transformed into a massive, incredibly thick layer of ice!

Those third-tier Sword-finned Demon Sharks were almost instantly frozen into lifelike ice sculptures, maintaining various charging and Bite postures, forever fixed in that moment!

And those several powerful fourth-tier Shark Kings, though not immediately frozen to death, were all trapped by the thick ice layer, with frost condensing on their bodies, their movements becoming incredibly sluggish, as if they had fallen into a quagmire!

Even more terrifying, the Frozen Domain of Absolute Zero was not merely simple freezing!

An invisible Frost Flame Power permeated inside and outside the ice layer.

Those frozen demon sharks began to show fine cracks on their bodies, and pale white flames and extreme cold seeped into their bodies through the cracks, furiously destroying their vitality!

Inside and outside the ice layer, Frost Flame Power intertwined and eroded; some of the frozen demon sharks even began to emit a strange burnt smell from within their bodies, having been literally 'stewed' alive!

Lu Yuan and the Raging Waves Sea Soul bathed in this domain of intertwined ice and fire, feeling utterly comfortable.

A warm current and a refreshing coolness circulated within their bodies; not only did they suffer no harm, but they also felt their own ice and fire resistance greatly enhanced, and even the recovery speed of their Source Power seemed to have accelerated!

The Raging Waves Sea Soul's injured neck was also slowly recovering.

"This domain is awesome!"

Lu Yuan couldn't help but exclaim.

However, he quickly noticed something was wrong.

The Winter Frostflame Phoenix's consumption was too great!

In just these few short seconds, the Source Power in his body had been depleted by nearly a hundred points, like a dam with its gates opened!

He needed to use his source card sparingly.

"Can't drag this out any longer!"

Lu Yuan made a decisive decision.

"Winter Frostflame Phoenix, return!"

The phoenix on the ice crystal throne let out a low cry, seemingly still wanting more.

But it still obeyed Lu Yuan's command, its massive figure transforming into a streak of light and returning to its card form.

With the phoenix's disappearance, the effect of the Frozen Domain of Absolute Zero also began to weaken, but the thick ice layer and the Frost Flame Power would not dissipate in a short time.

"Little Turtle! Now's your chance!"

Lu Yuan shouted loudly.

The Raging Waves Sea Soul had long been seething with anger.

Now, these once agile and cunning Shark Kings, bound by the thick ice layer, were slow-moving, becoming living targets!

"Roar!"

It opened its giant mouth; no need to condense, an endless barrage of Spiral Thorns, as if free, furiously sprayed towards the frozen or heavily wounded Shark Kings!

"Puff, puff, puff, puff—!"

The dense sounds of penetration rang out again.

The Shark Kings, having lost their agility, were utterly unable to dodge this dense barrage from all directions.

Their tough skin and muscles were as fragile as paper in front of the Spiral Thorns.

One after another, the Shark Kings, with unwilling roars, were shot into tattered sieves, completely losing their vitality, their massive bodies helplessly embedded in the ice layer.

A moment later, the sea surface returned to some semblance of calm, leaving only broken ice and the overwhelming smell of blood.

Lu Yuan directed the Raging Waves Sea Soul to begin cleaning up the battlefield.

The harvest this time was extremely rich!

Dozens of third-tier beast cores, shimmering with various colors, were scattered like jewels in the ice and seawater.

More importantly, each of those Shark Kings contributed a powerful fourth-tier beast core!

A full four of them!

Besides that, Lu Yuan also found two cards shimmering with a blue halo next to the corpses of several Shark Kings.

Good luck, card drop!

Sword-finned Demon Shark

Quality: Blue

Star Rating: Four-star

Type: beast taming card

Skill 1: [Sword-fin Thrust] - Consumes Source Power, condenses water elements to empower the dorsal fin, greatly increasing thrust speed and cutting power for a short duration.

Skill 2: [Bloody Tracking] - Marks targets stained with blood, allowing continuous perception of their location within a certain range.

(Note: A ferocious and cunning ocean predator, skilled in group combat and high-speed assaults.)

"A four-star blue beast taming card, not bad."

Lu Yuan put away the cards.

He looked at the pile of beast cores in his hand, and his heart stirred.

He took out that fourth-tier sea monster beast core as well and chose to absorb it directly!

Surging Source Power poured into his body, impacting his Source Power limit.

This increase was significantly more pronounced than absorbing third-tier beast cores before!

A moment later, the growth of his Source Power limit finally stopped.

Lu Yuan felt the total amount of Source Power within him.

His Source Power limit was fixed at 309 points!

"Awesome!"

If this happened a few more times, wouldn't he soon break through to the third-tier two-star?

He suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked down at the sea surface, still covered in ice.

It was not advisable to stay here long; the smell of blood would soon attract more trouble.

"Come out, Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon!"

Lu Yuan summoned his scout.

After a short rest, the Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon's condition had recovered quite a bit.

Although it was still suppressed in this water-element-rich secret realm, high-altitude reconnaissance was more than enough.

"Caw!"

The Heavenly Thunder Light Falcon let out an eagle cry, flapped its wings, and soared high into the sky.

Lu Yuan, through the Light Falcon's perception, overlooked the boundless ocean below.

"Go! Find me a small island where I can land!"
