Chapter 733: Sea Devourer

~8 min read 1,458 words

As the light screen unfolded, the scene of the battle at the Sea God Temple also appeared before everyone.

"This is?" Seeing the scene in the light screen, even Luweisi could not help but gasp.

As the Sea King, Enuosi belonged to the Sea Giant race, which was extremely powerful among the Sea Race. In the ocean, Sea Giants not only possessed immense strength but could also use the power of the ocean to recover from their injuries, making them extremely troublesome existences.

In the light screen, the Sea King had already transformed into a hundred-meter giant, his body shimmering with blue light. The buildings of the Sea God Temple appeared quite small in contrast to the Sea King. This state was a secret technique unique to Sea Giants—Julingshenhua—and activating Julingshenhua meant that the Sea Giant had entered a desperate state. If they were in the open ocean, even Luweisi would have to steer clear of an Enuosi who had activated Julingshenhua.

Fighting against Enuosi was a massive sea beast. The sea beast looked somewhat similar to a sea snake, but its size was countless times larger, estimated to be two hundred meters long. The sea beast opened its massive maw, revealing sharp teeth that shimmered with a chilling white light.

Enuosi's fists hammered madly against the sea beast, but they were completely unable to break through its skin. As for the powerful water-type Magic he released, the sea beast either dodged it at extreme speed or took it head-on with its body. Every time Enuosi's attacks landed on the sea beast, a faint blue light would emerge on the surface of its body, blocking the Magic damage.

Conversely, Enuosi appeared somewhat inadequate when facing the sea beast's attacks. The sea beast's teeth were incomparably sharp; every time they landed on Enuosi, they would tear away large chunks of flesh. Enuosi had also laid down layers of protective Magic around his body to block the sea beast's attacks. However, those protective Magic spells were no different from paper in front of the sea beast's sharp teeth, being torn to shreds instantly. The sea beast's tail lashed against Enuosi, even causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Most terrifying of all, the sea beast could also spit out black light bullets from its mouth. Each light bullet possessed the ability to pierce through Enuosi's body. However, this attack was clearly limited; until the end of the battle, the sea beast only released this attack four times, but these four attacks alone caused Enuosi heavy injuries.

Under the sea beast's assault, Enuosi could be said to be retreating steadily. Until the very end, Mona, as the Sea God Priest, used the power left behind by the Sea God in the Sea God Temple via the Sea God Scepter to release the Sea God's Wrath. The Sea God's Wrath directly blasted half of the sea beast's body into a blood mist, but the sea beast's powerful counterattack also shattered the Sea God's Projection and snatched away the Water Holy Sword.

The content of the light screen ended after the sea beast dragged its severed half-body away, but the Dragon Race present clearly had not yet recovered from the shock.

"This sea beast is too strong!" Luweisi said, frowning. "If it were me, unless I brought the treasure left behind by the Dragon God of that era, I would not be its match. But why have I never heard that such a sea beast existed in the Endless Ocean?"

"Eh, I didn't expect that such a sea beast still existed in the Endless Ocean!" Lingyun muttered at this moment.

"Mr. Lingyun recognizes this sea beast?" Luweisi asked with some pleasant surprise.

"That's right, this guy should be a remnant of the Ancient God Era, a monster known as a Sea Devourer," Lingyun said.

"Sea Devourer? A remnant of the Ancient God Era?" Hearing Lingyun say this, even the elder's expression could not help but turn serious.

Strictly speaking, the Dragon Race also belonged to the ancient remnants. In the ancient period, the sole ruler of the Dragon Race was the legendary Ancient Dragon God. It was precisely because of the existence of the Ancient Dragon God that the Dragon Race survived the Great Destruction and still possessed a complete population today. But as the price, the Ancient Dragon God fell completely, losing the ability of Rebirth entirely. At the same time, the strength of the Dragon Race was far inferior to before, and one branch of the Dragon Race even drifted to the Demon World to become Demon Dragons. It was not until the Millennium Holy War arrived later that the two branches of the Dragon Race merged back into the current Dragon Race. One must know that in the Ancient God Era, the Dragon Race was an existence capable of arm-wrestling with the entire Demon World with the strength of their race alone.

"However, you should be fortunate; this Sea Devourer is merely an underage one. If it were an adult Sea Devourer, even if the Sea God descended, it would likely only have the option to run for its life," Lingyun said. "Looking at this appearance, it is clear that this Sea Devourer was originally supposed to be in deep slumber; it was likely awakened by the power of the Water Holy Sword."

"Underage?" Mona could not help but gasp. "This is only an underage Sea Devourer? Then if it reaches adulthood, that would be troublesome!"

"Every adult Sea Devourer possesses power at the god level, and at the same time, it possesses a powerful talent: the ability to devour all water-type energy it can withstand, while using this energy to strengthen itself. It can be said that it is the nemesis of the vast majority of the Sea Race. If it weren't for the fact that this race is small in number, difficult to reproduce, and has a long growth cycle, they would inevitably have had a place as the overlords of the ocean in the Ancient God Era," Lingyun explained.

"Then, why did it snatch the Water Holy Sword?" Mona asked.

"The Water Holy Sword possesses powerful water-type energy. If it can devour the power within the Water Holy Sword, then advancing to the adult stage is a certainty."

"But what about the Demon Qi? Wouldn't the Demon Qi within the Water Holy Sword affect it?" Daiweina asked.

"As for that, at most it would just give it indigestion! A thing like a Sea Devourer doesn't just devour water-type energy; it can devour other energies as well, it's just that there is a limit," Lingyun shrugged and said. "And the Demon Qi within the Water Holy Sword, judging from the current situation, doesn't seem to be able to affect it; at most, it just makes it feel a bit uncomfortable. It's not enough to make it a member of the Demon World!"

"This..." Hearing Lingyun say this, the people present could not help but look at each other.

"Alright, you don't need to worry. If that Sea Devourer really wants to devour the water-type energy in the Water Holy Sword, it's impossible to do so without fifty or sixty years. If you add the Demon Qi that gives it indigestion, it will take at least a hundred years to grow into the adult stage," Lingyun waved his hand and said.

"Eh, then what if it wants to digest the Water Holy Sword?" Nia asked, tilting her head.

"As for that, it might not be able to do it even until it dies of old age..." Lingyun muttered.

"Uh, is it that exaggerated?" Nia asked.

"This matter is determined by the essence of the Water Holy Sword. However, it's rare to encounter a Sea Devourer; how could we let it go so easily? We must catch it!" Lingyun said.

"Catch it? Does that Sea Devourer have any special qualities?" Chen Jing asked with some curiosity.

"The meat of a Sea Devourer was one of the highest-grade delicacies in the Ancient God Era; this is actually the main reason why they couldn't become the overlords of the ocean," Lingyun looked toward the distant sea, wondering what he was thinking. "I thought this delicacy had long since disappeared; I didn't expect to see it again now. How could I miss this!"

"Highest-grade delicacy?" Chen Jing looked at Lingyun, a trace of helplessness in her eyes. "I guess that Sea Devourer would never have thought that this is the reason it faces a death tribulation!"

"But the Endless Ocean is so big, how do we know where that Sea Devourer is?" Luweisi asked.

"Leave this kind of thing to me!" Lingyun waved his hand casually, and specks of light drifted out from his body.
