116: Chapter 116 Killing the Sea Ape Beast Causes Trouble!

...

A Divine Soul shock, like an invisible heavy hammer, slammed ruthlessly into Shi Jian's Sea of Consciousness.

His Sea of Consciousness surged, and the world began to spin.

It was as if a vast ocean had crashed down, carrying the Vast Sea Will condensed from the Sea Ape Beast's centuries of cultivation, attempting to crush Shi Jian's Divine Soul to pieces.

For any other demon general of the same rank, this blow would have been enough to shake their Divine Soul, stripping them of their ability to act and turning them into a lamb for the slaughter.

However—

Deep within Shi Jian's Sea of Consciousness, the illusory image of a small bear that had begun to take shape suddenly opened its eyes, and a surge of thunder pulsed forth!

A powerful Divine Soul forged by fifty times of Enlightenment.

At this moment, it revealed its true value!

That mental shock flooded into the Sea of Consciousness like a raging river pouring into the ocean, unable to stir up even the slightest ripple!

The buzzing in Shi Jian's head completely dissipated within a single breath.

His gaze sharpened once more, and storms and thunder gathered again!

Opposite him, the third eye on the Sea Ape Beast's forehead was emitting a strong, eerie glow. Its four arms reached forward, striking a posture to press its advantage.

In its understanding, this Divine Soul shock was enough to leave any opponent at the Early Stage of the Golden Core in a state of paralysis for at least three breaths.

Three breaths were enough for it to tear everything apart!

However, when its gaze met Shi Jian's Purple-gold Thunder Pupils...

What it saw was not fear or distraction.

But a pair of eyes clear to the extreme, looking directly at it with mockery.

"Is that all?"

The Sea Ape Beast's pupils shrank abruptly.

Impossible!

Its Divine Soul shock could even make a Deep-sea Flood Dragon of the Middle Stage Golden Core retreat. Why was this clumsy bear from the land unaffected?!

However, a moment of shock was a flaw.

Shi Jian made a decision in an instant. His five-zhang-tall Thunder Bear body surged, the purple-gold radiance on his Thunder Armor exploding like a tide as he lunged at the Sea Ape Beast!

The four-armed sea ape instinctively crossed its arms in defense, but it was half a beat too slow.

Shi Jian's right claw had already gripped its single horn, while his left claw firmly pinned down its upper two arms.

Close-quarters combat, pitting strength against strength!

"The thing I fear least in this life is a contest of toughness!"

Shi Jian opened his large mouth.

Purple Heaven Divine Thunder compressed and condensed deep within his throat as his nine-patterned thunder core spun frantically.

A purple-gold thunder pillar as thick as an arm blasted into the Sea Ape Beast's chest at point-blank range!

"Roar—!"

The Sea Ape Beast let out a shrill, miserable howl.

The thunder pillar pierced through the protective water armor on the left side of its chest, burning through dozens of its internal Meridians. Purple-gold electrical arcs spread wildly along the wound, scorching its flesh.

But the Sea Ape Beast was truly a hegemon of the deep sea.

Its lower two arms suddenly tightened, gripping Shi Jian's waist and abdomen so hard that the Thunder Armor emitted an overwhelmed cracking sound.

At the same time, its thick bovine tail swung, wrapping with seawater to transform into a massive blue hammer that slammed ruthlessly against Shi Jian's back.

"Bang!"

Shi Jian groaned, a trace of blood overflowing from his mouth, but his claws only gripped tighter.

"Trap it to death!"

Shi Jian roared.

No sooner had he spoken.

Daoist Yun Du had already been waiting for a long time.

Thousands of cloud locks descended from the sky, firmly binding the Sea Ape Beast's four limbs and bovine tail.

The Sea Ape Beast struggled in a rage; as one layer of cloud locks broke, another appeared. Daoist Yun Du's face was pale as he pushed his Magic Treasure to its limit.

Perfected Qing Shan was even more reckless.

He threw out that bronze mirror Magic Treasure, and the eerie green profound light emitted from the mirror surface directly transformed into poisonous spirit pythons that attacked!

In just a few moments, they forced their way into the wound on the Sea Ape Beast's chest.

"Poison enters the Meridians, sealing the core in three breaths!"

Perfected Qing Shan hissed, his withered palms forming a series of strange hand seals.

The emerald toxins transformed from the poisonous spirit pythons followed the wounds burned through by the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, frantically corroding the Sea Ape Beast's demon core.

The Sea Ape Beast felt a sharp pain coming from its Dantian and finally showed true fear.

It struggled desperately, its third eye trying to light up again in an attempt to launch a second Divine Soul shock.

However, Shi Jian's right claw had already left the horn. His five fingers spread open and accurately clamped onto that eerie blue vertical eye.

"This thing, we're taking it!"

Shi Jian exerted sudden force and yanked his bear claw back with all his might!

"Pfft!"

The sound of flesh tearing followed as that third eye, containing Divine Soul power, along with a whole piece of the frontal bone around the socket, was brutally gouged out by Shi Jian!

"Awoo—!"

The Sea Ape Beast wailed in despair, intense pain sweeping through as its entire body's muscles and bones twitched uncontrollably.

Losing its third eye, it not only lost its means of Divine Soul attack, but its aura plummeted off a cliff, its Foundation becoming unstable...

Perfected Qing Shan showed a look of joy. His figure shot out, holding the bronze mirror in his left hand while his right hand condensed a wisp of pitch-black poisonous light, thrusting it straight into the Sea Ape Beast's crown.

"Your life, this old man shall take!"

The poisonous light sank into the skull.

The Sea Ape Beast's massive body convulsed violently for several breaths before its four arms hung limply. Those beastly eyes that had once looked down upon the deep sea slowly lost their last trace of luster...

The six-zhang giant body crashed into the sea surface.

Waves shot into the sky.

Shi Jian released his claws and landed on the sea surface, panting heavily. His Thunder Armor was mostly shattered, and there were deep wounds on his chest and back that reached the bone.

Daoist Yun Du slumped on the cloud, his face sallow and his spiritual power nearly exhausted.

Only Perfected Qing Shan, taking that single eye from Shi Jian's hand, trembled all over with tears streaming down his face, smiling so hard that the wrinkles on his face bunched together.

"It's done... it's done!"

Shi Jian rolled his eyes, not bothered to look at him.

However, at the very moment the Sea Ape Beast stopped breathing...

Between heaven and earth, an invisible ripple quietly spread.

That was Bloodline resonance.

The instinctive sensing of the same Bloodline when a powerhouse of the clan falls.

The hair all over Shi Jian's body suddenly stood on end. He snapped his head up, looking deeper into the North Sea, feeling a heart-stopping illusion.

There, several terrifying auras seemed to be slowly awakening.

One after another.

Rank five, rank four, rank three...

Like an ignited powder keg, they rose one after another in a chain reaction.

"Not good, let's go!"

"We've really stirred up trouble this time!"

Daoist Yun Du's expression changed drastically as he summoned a flying boat. Perfected Qing Shan stored the Sea Ape Beast's corpse into his bag, and then the flying boat streaked through the sky, fleeing the area at extreme speed.

At this point, there was no concern for hiding; they only focused on fleeing for their lives.

After fleeing for a thousand li, Perfected Qing Feng summoned a Spirit Ship.

They dived into the deep sea again, not even bothering to distinguish the direction, fleeing through the deep sea for an unknown number of tens of thousands of li.

During this time, they constantly changed directions. Daoist Yun Du, Shi Jian, and Perfected Qing Shan never stopped pouring spiritual power into the Spirit Ship for a single moment!

This flight was so reckless that they plunged headlong into the boundless Vast Sea...
