the ship and investigate in his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since the Ghostly Flood Dragon had become a supreme-grade spirit ship, the maximum number of cursed crew members had also increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the cursed crew members who were out hunting for souls, Su Ye had selected a dozen or so of the most outstanding ones to serve on the ship long-term,

breaths, the dozen or so cursed crew members—who would have given even a Foundation Establishment cultivator some trouble—vanished completely without a sound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just then, a soft PATTER rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye turned his head to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, his pupils contracted violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four pale, slender, water-stained fingers slowly gripped the railing of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HIIISSSS...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp, piercing sound, as if filled with despair and venom, echoed in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the sound, a pale, desiccated, and slender figure about the size of an ape leaped onto the deck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster lunged forward, its ten fingers spread wide like a great net, clawing for Su Ye’s head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>WHOOSH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A foul wind blasted him in the face!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It carried the salty stench of the sea and a malevolent aura like that of a rotting corpse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s eyes sharpened, and he acted without a second thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ZING!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Frost Thorn Spear appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It transformed into a sharp, silver streak of light and shot forward with a whistle!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PFFT!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nigh-indestructible Frost Thorn Spear passed through the pale monster as if it were just an illusion of smoke and mist!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It passed straight through the creature’s body without any resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Physical immunity?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Magical Power of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator surged, stirring the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CH-CH-CH-CH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless ice spikes, water jets, and mist blades shot out like a violent storm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the pale monster’s body passed through the numerous spells without any hindrance, as if it existed in another world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Magic is also ineffective?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, its figure suddenly accelerated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHUNK.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pair of bestial claws, reeking of a foul wind, came whistling toward him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aiming for Su Ye’s head!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its crimson eyes revealed a shockingly human-like brutality and malice!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster seemed to have already foreseen the moment its blade-like claws would pierce Su Ye’s eyes and skull, churning the red and white matter within into pulp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, with a muffled BANG, a wave of corporeal, surging energy burst outward!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye was completely unharmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pale monster, on the other hand, shrieked strangely in pain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, a layer of crystalline, jade-like light was shimmering over Su Ye’s skin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade-like light was faint, yet it emanated an immortal and indestructible aura, like that of vajra and liuli!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventh stage of Body Refining!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying physique comparable to a second-rank, high-grade demonic beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with attribute enhancements, Su Ye’s Defense Power was simply horrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Caught you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cruel smile touched the corners of Su Ye’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SWISH.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His fair, jade-colored hand moved at a speed that seemed slow but was actually lightning-fast, seizing the pale monster’s bestial claw!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the pale monster react, shrieking and howling miserably as it clawed wildly at Su Ye’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was useless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The faint, jade-colored light merely rippled. Claw marks appeared for a brief moment before vanishing immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve had your turn scratching at me. Isn’t it my turn now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye let out a savage laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he raised his right hand, holding his fingers together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the tip of a spear, he aimed for the pale monster’s chest and thrust with all his might!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SQUELCH!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye’s hand pierced through the monster’s chest as easily as splitting bamboo, and then right through the deck!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pinned the monster down firmly, like a nail!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a strong sense of desire came from the Ghostly Flood Dragon through their [Harmony].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It’s eager to devour this monster... Well, alright then.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ye would naturally not refuse the spirit ship on which his own life depended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>OMM.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A bloody light shone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crimson vortex materialized beneath the pale monster’s body, and countless blood-red tendrils, as thin as hairs, bound the creature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>SHHHLURP.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a Venus flytrap feeding, the ship swallowed it into its hull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ghostly Flood Dragon seemed as if it had consumed a powerful tonic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the [Harmony], he received a sensation of digestion, like a feeling of being full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Seems like a good thing?’ Su Ye mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the entire deck fell silent, and the crew members were looking at Su Ye with rather strange expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long moment, Zhao Li approached and asked worriedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, what... were you just doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A monster attacked me.
