609: beat

As his voice fell, the long saber in his hand once again unleashed a strike.

The astonishing waves, nearly dozens of meters high, were incredibly oppressive.

However, upon hearing these words, the Giant Fish’s mouth opened and closed, emitting human sounds and bursts of laughter.

“Hahahaha, you’re far too arrogant.”

“I admit your cultivation at this age is quite good, and you even gained a slight advantage against me, but that’s all it is.”

“You don’t have the ability to safely pass by me right now. Negotiate with me? Are you worthy?”

As his voice fell, the Giant Fish ignored how the other party would respond.

The next moment, its tail whipped out, and the entire fish flew into the air.

Its enormous fish head instantly became slender.

Its entire body also continuously elongated.

From a fat-headed fish, it gradually transformed into a being resembling a silver serpent.

Immediately after, it shot up into the clouds.

Its form was indistinct.

In a short time, the clouds in the sky continuously contracted and darkened.

Rumbling thunder appeared within the clouds.

This sudden scene immediately left The two members of the Wang family somewhat stunned.

“What’s happening? How did this fish suddenly turn into a snake and burrow into the clouds?”

Wang Yan was somewhat surprised.

This was the first time he had encountered such a thing in all his years of traveling.

At first glance, it was quite novel.

However, upon closer thought, it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible.

Given this fish’s cultivation, learning such a transformation technique wasn’t incomprehensible.

Meanwhile, a golden light flashed in Wang Gou’s eyes.

He hadn’t expected this fish to have a second form.

Was this the boss entering a berserk stage?

And it was at this moment that a rumbling sound once again emanated from within the clouds.

Immediately after, a lightning spear violently struck down.

This was entirely condensed from lightning within the clouds, exuding astonishing pressure and terrifying Dao Power.

It seemed to suppress everything.

Thrown down from high in the sky, it was like a spear projected by a God King from the Mythological Era.

The terrifying power it unleashed seemed to threaten to destroy the entire world.

Boom! Boom!

Wherever it passed, rumbling sounds were incessant.

Space was torn apart, and piercing friction sounds arose. This happened in an instant.

With a whoosh, it fiercely stabbed towards Dongfang Yao.

Dongfang Yao’s expression turned cold.

The long saber in his hand swept upwards.

The next moment, the spear and the long saber collided.

A clanging sound of metal rang out.

Bursts of Killing Intent spread.

In just a few breaths, in an instant, an astonishing aftershock erupted.

Wherever it reached, colossal waves rose on the lake.

Even their boat swayed uncontrollably.

Immediately after, Dongfang Yao surged upstream.

He turned and rushed towards the clouds.

The long saber in his hand continuously brandished, emitting astonishing Divine Power. Each strike seemed to display supreme creation, and his exquisite saber skills demonstrated his terrifying strength.

For a time, he fought the Giant Fish in the clouds to a standstill, even subtly gaining an advantage.

Frequent clanging sounds of metal echoed, accompanied by the symphony of thunder.

For a moment, it appeared incredibly magnificent.

Meanwhile, The two members of the Wang family on the boat were completely stunned.

This level of strength was considered top-tier even within the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

They had never imagined that the Third Prince, who had always been inconspicuous, could possess such abilities.

This could no longer be described simply as an Opportunity from the immortal pool.

One must know that the greatest Opportunity in this Secret Realm was clearly the spirit source fruit.

Their purpose in entering this time was also for this.

But the best effect would only be to stabilize their cultivation at the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

However, what was the situation now?

Dongfang Yao had directly reached the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.

Moreover, he showed no signs of an unstable Foundation.

His combat power was extremely terrifying.

How did this look like someone who had just made a Breakthrough?

Wang Yan seemed to have understood something.

He couldn't help but say, “I feel there’s something wrong with the Third Prince, and I’m not referring to his cultivation.”

Wang Gou nodded.

“Logically speaking, even if the Opportunity in reality allowed for a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm, he shouldn’t be able to display such strength, let alone directly reach the Mid-stage True Immortal Realm.”

“It seems you’re right, that pool must have some peculiarities.”

Light flickered in Wang Yan’s eyes.

He had clearly thought of this point as well.

He then casually glanced at Dongfang Chen.

He found that his expression hadn’t changed at all.

Everything seemed normal.

Immediately, a sense of vigilance arose in Wang Yan’s heart.

The situation seemed a bit off.

This scene was so shocking in his eyes.

Yet, in the Fifth Prince’s eyes, it seemed so mundane.

He didn’t even show the slightest emotional fluctuation.

Could it be that in his heart, such things were normal?

Recalling the journey so far, ever since the immortal pool, the Fifth Prince’s attitude towards the Third Prince had changed so drastically.

Could there be some collusion between the two?

His mind raced, a brainstorm erupting in his head.

He had clearly linked these two matters together.

But no matter what, he couldn’t fully understand the secrets within.

At the same time, above the sky, the enormous silver serpent had now transformed back into the Giant Fish.

Immediately after, its wings transformed into hands, and the silver lightning spear was held in his hand.

He fought Dongfang Yao continuously, just like a human using a weapon.

Weapons clashed incessantly, and clanging sounds were endless.

For a time, the two sides were evenly matched.

The Giant Fish’s expression was arrogant.

“I have guarded this place for countless years. From ancient times until now, no one has dared to underestimate me so much.”

“You are the first.”

“Although you are indeed extraordinary, your tone is too arrogant. Do you truly have the strength to kill me?”

As his voice fell, his spear released astonishing electrical light.

The surrounding space seemed affected by the lightning, and black cracks continuously appeared.

And as its tail whipped out violently again, the spear once again shot out like a sharp arrow.

Boom! Boom!

Another series of collision sounds rang out.

Space was completely torn apart, and black openings appeared in the firmament pool.

The spear, carrying lightning, fiercely stabbed forward. In just an instant, it collided with Dongfang Yao.

However, the moment of contact, the Giant Fish, who had been supremely confident, instantly had a drastic change in his expression.

“How is this possible?”

The spear he had projected, upon collision, seemed to have been struck by a huge force, and it was actually projected back.

In just a blink of an eye, it struck his body.

Immediately after, the entire fish was sent flying.

A large amount of golden-yellow blood instantly flowed out, dripping down from the sky.
