From the very beginning, this battle had already moved at a pace that no one could keep up with.
The entire ocean from the surface to a radius of 1,000,000 meters under the sea was frozen into solid ice.
And then that block of ice shattered and completely devastated the creatures below.
Having lived for over 100 million years in the ocean, never have these demonic sea creatures seen this cataclysmic appearance of the sea.
The weaker demonic sea creatures were directly ripped to shreds from the ice eruption and killed on the spot .
The more powerful demonic sea creatures were also heavily wounded.
But that was still fine.
Until the one responsible for commanding the sea creatures and creating evil creature specimens was abruptly murdered.
——-by the creatures on its own side.
Despite how long it seemed to be, everything that happened all came about in mere seconds, there wasn’t even a chance for the tables to be turned before it was over .
The demonic sea creatures only managed to reactively respond to each happening.
Although to be exact, they didn’t even know what exactly happened.
——–they weren’t to be blamed for this, they were only supposed to come here to enjoy collecting the lives of evil creatures.
Who could’ve known a Divinity was hiding among the evil creatures!
Gu Qing Shan didn’t intend to stop.
He switched places with the flesh tentacle sea creature and appeared in the very middle of all the gigantic demonic sea creatures.
Compared to them, his body was like a tiny speck of dust.
But this speck of dust would be taking their lives.
The sword-infused wind picked up!
When the [Tai Yi] Sword Array was fueled by a Paragon realm peak stage level of power, further infused with the power of Elemental Ice, its destructiveness was increased exponentially compared to any other times he had used it.
A 200-million-year-old demonic sea creature was erased from this world almost instantly as the sword-infused wind swept through its body and turned it into a rain of flesh and blood.
The other demonic sea creatures finally realized what was happening.
Regardless of what happened, they were still powerful sea creatures that had survived for over 100 million years. Even if they were swept into the enemy’s pace and couldn’t quite respond in time earlier, when faced with the threat of death, their immense power was exerted all at once.
Five demonic sea creatures unleashed their attacks at Gu Qing Shan.
The spells they used weren’t particularly special and the skill level involved with them wasn’t anything to write home about, but they did have overwhelming destructiveness!
Jets of water glowed and turned into dark-blue rays of light as they shot towards Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan switched places with one of the demonic sea creatures.
But there were too many demonic sea creatures here.
After a short time, these ancient creatures already understood the essence of this little trick of his.
As soon as Gu Qing Shan appeared, several other demonic sea creatures who had prepared beforehand immediately unleashed their attacks.
Boom!
The blinding spells struck and sent Gu Qing Shan flying backward.
“Peh!”
Gu Qing Shan spat out some blood and muttered: “They sure reacted quickly”
The armor he was wearing took the brunt of the attacks and was broken into small pieces.
But a single second later, the entire [Black Smog Armor] was repaired by an invisible force that made it brand new again.
This was the Demon King’s primary armor, as long as you could provide it Soul Points, it could completely repair itself.
——and right now Gu Qing Shan had nothing but Soul Points!
The demonic sea creatures wanted to pursue further with their attacks, but the sword-infused wind inside the Sword Array had already gathered and stopped the first wave of follow -up attacks.
Gu Qing Shan only managed to regain his balance when the second wave of attacks arrived.
Countless spells struck his body directly.
There were still too many demonic sea creatures, and the ones that could survive to this point had strength at least equivalent to Three Thousand Worlds realm peak stage, some of them might have even reached Paragon realm early stage.
As he was facing the full-power attacks of over a dozen enemies like this, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t completely stop them even after turning into the Divine King.
He dodged and weaved as he looked for a chance to retaliate, occasionally taking an attack on purpose to take an enemy’s life.
The [Black Smog Armor] constantly kept him safe by taking the majority of the attacks for him.
At some point, Gu Qing Shan realized something was wrong.
Compared to the beginning, the demonic sea creatures were attacking a lot less frequently.
This gave Gu Qing Shan a lot more breathing space, but he was feeling a bit suspicious.
During a struggle for life and death like this, the attacks on both sides would only become stronger as time passed unless the other party was doing something else.
So what are the demonic sea creatures doing?
Gu Qing Shan glanced around.
There were still several dozen demonic sea creatures chasing closely after him without relenting.
But——
They seem to only be stalling Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan expanded his inner sight and saw something happening at a faraway area of the ocean .
Eight demonic sea creatures were gathered there, chanting the same incantation.
A dark arc of lightning occasionally flashed within their’hands’.
Two particularly large demonic sea creatures were enduring the attacks of the sword-infused wind for them.
The chanting of the demonic sea creatures was clearly quickening, they would soon finish their spell!
Gu Qing Shan had a very bad feeling.
——-so that’s what happened.
Eight demonic sea creatures over 100 million years old were gathered at once to perform a technique that needed quite a bit of time to prepare.
So it must be an incredibly devastating combined attack!
Despite noticing this, Gu Qing Shan already had no time to stop them.
Numerous demonic sea creatures had already surrounded Gu Qing Shan, stopping him from moving away.
On the other side of the ocean, more and more demonic sea creatures were gathering to defend their eight chanting comrades.
They were wary of Gu Qing Shan’s [ Shadow Shift]
And there wasn’t time for him to use it now!
“Adorable!”
Gu Qing Shan shouted.
Wu wu!
(Got it!)
The jade gourd pendant appeared from the void of space and pointed its head towards the hands of the demonic sea creatures.
Xiu xiu xiu xiu~ Xiu xiu xiu wu wu!
(your technique is really awesome, let me just borrow it for a sec~ )
As the demonic sea creatures finished preparing their technique, the jade gourd pendant declared as such.
Gu Qing Shan could immediately sense that he now carried the power of a certain spell.
And that he could unleash it any time he liked.
Without hesitation, he unleashed this spell back at the demonic sea creatures.
A gray arc of lightning flashed from the void of space.
Both the demonic sea creatures and Gu Qing Shan were no match for the speed of this attack.
The demonic sea creatures were squarely hit by the grey arc of lightning.
A net of glittering electricity appeared out of nowhere and completely trapped these demonic sea creatures inside.
They were shocked.
What?
Wasn’t this the summoning spell we were about to perform ?
How did——-
Recalling what this technique did, the demonic sea creatures desperately struggled in a frenzy.
But it was useless, the gigantic net made up of grey lightning quickly shrank around them.
Gu Qing Shan’s gaze was focused .
He could clearly see 7-8 sharp spikes manifesting out of nowhere around each demonic sea creature and pierced their bodies.
It only took a slight prick——
And these demonic sea creatures immediately went limp.
A cave made of nothing but grey lightning manifested from the void of space.
A frightening aura could be felt from inside the cave of lightning.
The evil creatures on the ship, the demonic sea creatures, even Gu Qing Shan who had taken the God of Frost and Chill’s form was stunned from this terrifying presence alone.
Gu Qing Shan bit down on the tip of his tongue.
The sensation of pain slowly allowed him to regain his senses.
Gu Qing Shan stared intently at the cave of black lightning and felt his heartbeat becoming faster and faster, his sense of danger was urging him to run away.
This was an instinctive reaction of the body and mind for every living being when faced with a superior hunter. You could only try to suppress this instinct but never truly eliminate it.
The Eternal True God, Soul Shrieker?
Gu Qing Shan silently thought
No.
This wasn’t it.
But this cave made of grey lightning summoned by the net of grey lightning was giving off an aura that wasn’t any weaker than the Soul Shrieker.
Under everyone’s gaze, the unconscious demonic sea creatures inside the net were pulled into the cave of grey lightning.
Their bodies were too large and too heavy, so a pair of brightly-colored mandibles covered in burr appeared to pull the net inside.
Gu Qing Shan stared at the pair of mandibles
This wasn’t the Soul Shrieker.
Or the legendary sleeping Demon Dragon.
But the power this creature gave off is extreme enough to make anyone dread.
It was comparable to the Soul Shrieker!
I can’t believe the demonic sea creatures were able to summon such a powerful entity.
But what kind of monster is this?
Almost immediately, the unconscious, but living demonic sea creatures were pulled directly to the opening of the cave.
Abruptly, a jet-black hand reached out from the cave of grey lightning and caught the net.
The hand was missing a finger, but that didn’t hinder its actions.
Gu Qing Shan opened his eyes wide.
This hand!
Gu Qing Shan instantly recalled the finger that he saw at the bottom floor of the lava cathedral.
The finger that could still struggle while being restrained by hundreds of chains.
That finger was exactly the same as the other fingers on this jet-black hand.
It was unimaginable, but the finger that the cathedral suppressed actually came from this unknown monster!
The net and the prey inside it were all pulled into the grey cave without much trouble.
The cave of grey lightning vanished from mid-air.
The residue arcs of lightning gradually became dim, flashed a few more times in the void of space before it faded completely.
The ocean returned to silence.
All of a sudden, the remaining demonic sea creatures howled and cried out in fear, all scrambling to flee.
We’re not fighting anymore!
Don’t be ridiculous, even our ultimate summoning technique was reflected back on us, there’s no way to beat him.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t try to pursue them.
That scene just now was too shocking.
If he didn’t notice something wasn’t right with his instincts.
If he didn’t discover what those demonic sea creatures were trying to do in time.
If the jade gourd pendant wasn’t as crazily impressive as it was.
I’m not even sure I could’ve survived being attacked by that monster
