185: A desperate situation?!

Su Chen's colossal body was covered in bone-deep gashes, the hideous wounds gaping open. Eight of his ten tentacles were severed, and the remaining two were riddled with cracks, drooping limply.

His massive demonic body was repeatedly smashed backward, shattering underwater mountains. The deep crimson demonic blood stained large swaths of the sea a shocking red.

To anyone watching, this was a miserable sight, bordering on complete despair, where he could be utterly torn apart in the next second!

Boom—!!!

The Giant Ape King delivered a heavy punch capable of shattering a continental shelf, slamming violently into Su Chen's last two tentacles, which he had crossed to block!

*Pfft*—!

The last two tentacles snapped instantly!

Su Chen's massive body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood mixed with internal organ fragments. He crashed violently into the seabed, kicking up clouds of silt, his aura instantly plummeting to its lowest point.

However—

Right in this seemingly fatal desperate situation, the giant demon collapsed in the ruins began to furiously regenerate, with flesh buds wriggling on his severed tentacles.

He raised his cracked head, and his cold compound eyes locked onto the Giant Ape King in the air through the murky seawater.

A mental wave, mixed with blood and mockery, plunged like a cold venomous barb into the minds of the Giant Ape King and all the observers:

"Idiot! Is that all the strength you have?!"

"Didn't eat your dinner, old monkey?! Hit harder! Hit even harder!"

"Your soft, flabby punches aren't even worthy of scratching an itch for me. And you think you can avenge your useless son?!"

"Come on! Hit right here! If you can't smash my head, then you're a spineless piece of trash, just like your dead son!!"

Every provocation, every insult, acted like the most vicious curse, precisely tearing at the Giant Ape King's most sensitive and enraged nerves following the loss of his son!

"You little bastard—!!!! I will grind your bones to dust!!!"

The Giant Ape King's sanity was completely ignited and burned away! His dark golden fur stood on end, and the bloody flames in his eyes were practically gushing out!

Above the sky, clouds churned.

Four figures of Beast Kings, massive as mountains, stood solidified in the void, their shadows obscuring the sea surface.

Yet at this moment, these four Overlords who had ruled the Myriad Beast Sea for countless years had fallen into an unusual silence.

Their gazes were fixed rigidly on the sea below—the battlefield stained chaotic by blood and violent energy.

"He... he actually... is still holding on?!"

The Abyssal Ghost Eel King was the first to break the silence, his voice carrying a tremor he hadn't even noticed himself, his long, slender body twisting restlessly. "To take so many heavy blows from Old Ghost Ape... he... he hasn't even touched the threshold of the Awakening Realm!"

This veteran Beast King, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, felt his understanding being dragged and ground into the dirt by the giant demon cub struggling frantically on the seabed.

"More than just holding on..."

Electric light flashed in the Thunder Winged Dragon King's sharp eyes. It took a deep breath of cold air, as if that was the only way to suppress the agitation in its heart,

"Cub stage, three-thousand-meter body, million-level strength... Who among you has seen this? Who has heard of it?! The very existence of this Kraken is trampling upon the ironclad laws of the Endless Sea that have stood for billions of years!"

Its voice grew higher, carrying a nearly absurd sharpness.

The Sea-Overturning Dragon Whale King's massive head slowly turned, its deep voice like muffled thunder from the seabed, every word carrying immense pressure:

"Strength and size can perhaps be explained by 'Extraordinary Talent.' But did you see clearly?! Water-based Avatar, Power Burst, Hyper Regeneration, Space Control, Frost Power... he has already displayed no less than five Talents!"

The Dragon Whale King's pupils contracted into dangerous pinpricks:

"Five Talents in one body! Unheard of! Unseen! If this child doesn't die, and he manages to enter the beast emperor inheritance trial... What difference are those so-called Heavenly Geniuses in our clans compared to mere dogs and chickens before him?! The throne of the Myriad Beast Sea might truly change hands!"

A chill silently swept through the hearts of the four Beast Kings.

For the first time, they felt such a palpable threat from a mere "cub."

"Hahaha!"

The Heaven-Burning Vermilion Bird King suddenly burst into laughter, flames intensely rising around its body, dispelling the momentary solemnity and chill. It stretched out a burning wing and pointed downwards:

"Dragon Whale King, why boost the morale of others? No matter how monstrous this child is, he is nothing more than dry bones in a tomb!"

Its laughter was full of schadenfreude and relief:

"Look at him! All his tentacles are severed, his demonic blood is almost drained—he's at the end of his rope! Instead of thinking about how to escape, he's provoking Old Ghost Ape like a mad dog!"

"He's seeking death! He's forcing Old Ghost Ape to use his ultimate killing move! You know Old Ghost Ape's temper, don't you? Provoked like this, his next strike... will certainly shatter the heavens!"

Cruel satisfaction flashed in the Vermilion Bird King's eyes:

"It's over! This farce must end! This Kraken... is doomed!"

Its assertion caused the tense string in the hearts of the other three Beast Kings to suddenly relax.

That's right. No matter how heaven-defying the potential, if he dies, it amounts to nothing.

The four gazes refocused, carrying a final scrutiny and a trace of imperceptible relief, looking toward the Sky-Rending Giant Ape King, who was gathering a world-shattering strike, and the seemingly precarious giant demon figure below.

They seemed to already see that in the next second, the demonic body that had created countless miracles would completely disintegrate and be annihilated by the absolute power of the Overlord-level!

...On the battlefield,

"You little bastard—!!!! I will grind your bones to dust!!!"

The roar of the Sky-Rending Giant Ape King, Giant Ape King, tore through the sky. The pain of losing his son and the fury of being provoked by an ant boiled and erupted like magma in his chest!

He frantically pounded his firm chest with his fists, letting out dull roars like the beating of ancient war drums.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Following this ferocious rhythm, his dark golden fur stood on end, as if he had donned a coat of burning metallic spikes!

The bloody flames in his eyes completely spiraled out of control, erupting as two streams of substantial crimson light!

Even more terrifyingly, his massive body, already tens of thousands of meters tall, began to swell and grow madly, defying all logic!

The cracking sounds of stretching bones resembled continuous landslides! The sight of muscle fibers proliferating and wriggling was enough to make any creature vomit!

Ten thousand meters! Thirty thousand meters! Fifty thousand meters! One hundred thousand meters!!!

Under the gaze of countless shocked and bewildered observers, a terrifying, hundred-thousand-meter Giant Ape, truly standing between heaven and earth, touching the sky and treading the deep sea, descended fiercely!

The shadow he cast instantly plunged large areas of the sea into eternal darkness!

His mere existence caused space to groan under the unbearable burden!

His crimson gaze, like two stars fallen into a blood purgatory, locked onto the "tiny" three-thousand-meter figure below, his voice shaking the entire Endless Sea:

"Little cub! I will tear your tentacles off, one! By one! I will dry you out into octopus jerky!!!"

Before the words finished, that gigantic fist, capable of crushing the moon and wreathed in dark red energy that could collapse stars, descended like the Hammer of Heavenly Punishment, crushing layers of space as it slammed down toward Su Chen's location!

Where the punch wind passed, the seawater wasn't pushed aside—it was directly annihilated! Forming a zone of absolute vacuum and death!

However—

Just at the critical moment when that Fist of Destruction was about to touch Su Chen's demonic body!
