Chapter 183: The Black Mist Enveloping the Sea, an Extremely Powerful Sea Beast

"Why not kill them? Have you eaten so much seafood you can't eat any more?"

After reaching Grandmaster Perfection, Shen Tianxing stopped killing those sea beasts, and two days passed like that; Xiao Yu couldn't help but laugh and tease.

Shen Tianxing shook his head; it wasn't that he couldn't eat any more seafood hot pot—you should know that the seafood hot pot gift pack basically has different ingredients each time.

After opening it, there are various kinds of seafood; at the same time, these seafoods were pickled differently beforehand, the hot pot base is also different, and the dipping sauces given are also different.

Shen Tianxing's main reason for not taking action is that he already has plenty of seafood hot pot gift packs, with many still uneaten; moreover, his strength has already reached Grandmaster Perfection, so continuing to kill would still grant Killing Value but no Martial Arts Experience.

The key is that Shen Tianxing's Killing Value is already over six billion, which he couldn't possibly spend in a short time.

"Twelve days have already passed, and I still haven't seen the black mist; I don't know how much longer it will take to get there."

What Shen Tianxing is now more concerned about is this; Xiao Yu revealed a playful smile, then turned serious.

"The system detects that there are about five days left until arrival, assuming full speed forward."

"It's finally arriving; since the system can detect it, what is the situation with the black physics?"

Shen Tianxing let out a heavy sigh, then immediately wore a look of curiosity.

"There are a large number of sea monsters, and they are all poisonous, but they're useless to you, after all, your Northern Divine Skill and Nine Yang Divine Skill both make you immune to all poisons."

Furthermore, among these sea monsters there should be some Land Immortal first- to second-layer existences, meaning that even if you faced them, you'd probably have to put in some effort.

Moreover, the sea monsters of the Land Immortal also possess some wisdom; of course they're not very smart, only about the intelligence of a typical seven- or eight-year-old child, so dealing with them is still not difficult.

Shen Tianxing nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, but by the end his face showed astonishment.

"You've been fantastical from the start; don't tell me I'll actually become an immortal by the end of this—frankly, just reaching Land Immortal is already excessive."

"I'm currently a Grandmaster Perfection, and I feel like I'm almost on par with cultivators; even if my martial arts haven't reached the so-called constitution-level terror, if this trend continues, the future probably won't be much different."

"You think that way, and it's actually not impossible; you need to understand one thing: how did this system come about? It's formed from the pattern of your gameplay."

"Aren't all games fantastical by the end? Just like when you play a Three Kingdoms game, the summoned generals turn out to be Erlang Shen, Sun Wukong, and even the Buddha and Supreme Elder Lord."

"It's even possible that you're clearly playing a nation-war type game, yet you can still summon these fantastical mythological figures, and your strength grows."

"This system is meant to make you stronger—isn't that quite normal? Once you've thoroughly completed the system upgrade and finished all the system's main quests, you won't differ from the immortals spoken of in fantasy."

Shen Tianxing was somewhat speechless; indeed, even playing games like this wouldn't let you breeze through to completion, even if you used cheats—you'd still need to spend time continuously accumulating resources to become stronger.

"Forget it; anyway, by then I'll have to go into the black mist to have a look. Are you sure I won't get poisoned if I enter the black house? Even if there's a Great Return Pill that can cure any poison with a single dose, I still don't want to experience the pain of being poisoned."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely not let you get poisoned; however, this poisonous mist is indeed suspicious—it seems the place releasing the poison mist is a gathering spot of sea monsters, where there is a powerful sea monster that apparently already has the strength of a Land Immortal Perfection."

"According to the system's analysis, if we eliminate that sea monster, all the black mist at sea will gradually dissipate and disappear after a year or so."

Shen Tianxing merely nodded, but he hadn't even considered killing that sea monster—leaving aside whether he could beat it, even if he truly won, what would it change?

"Once there's no poisonous mist and no sea monsters guarding the Shenzhou Continent, allowing countless Grandmasters and Land Immortals to enter the Shenzhou Continent, the Shenzhou Continent would completely become a backyard garden."

"After all, the strength gap between the two sides is too great; a Fourth-Rank Warrior can only be an ordinary soldier, and in the Shenzhou Continent that's already the rank of a commander of ten thousand."

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed, and the cruise ship finally stopped, because directly ahead, about a hundred zhang away, was thick black mist constantly swirling, accompanied by the roars of sea monsters.

"Let me go in first to have a look; you stay here temporarily. If anything happens, we can switch roles—anyway, you're system-generated, so you're inherently unafraid of any toxin."

Xiao Yu had originally wanted to nod, but hearing this she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said angrily:

"How does what you say make me feel like a dog? I'm indeed not afraid of poison, but I'm currently your consort; you'd be better off letting me go in and explore myself, since I can draw on all your strength."

"The key is that if you go, you won't gain any Killing Value; besides, killing a Land Immortal–level sea monster might give me Martial Arts Experience. Let me break through to Land Immortal first."

Xiao Yu was instantly speechless and could only nod.

"Go on, hurry up and go—you're really bothering me."

Shen Tianxing smiled; in fact, he was just joking—after all, he won't get poisoned, and he couldn't switch anyway, since switching would involve using an Avatar to switch, letting the Avatar fly out, then switching back.

Afterward, Shen Tianxing rose into the air and flew into the black mist; just as he entered, he was ambushed by a lobster with a shark's head wielding a pair of crab claws.

Shen Tianxing transformed his Flying Dragon Spear into a Slay Dragon Blade; with one strike, he shattered the corpse into myriad pieces, and the Killing Value and seafood gift pack were instantly credited.

Shen Tianxing continued forward; his flight speed wasn't fast, but he could feel that these toxins had no effect on him, mainly because the Nine Yang Divine Skill kept circulating, and the Northern Divine Skill also actively shielded toxins, clearing them out.

Thus, Shen Tianxing pressed on, killing a tree-stone Grandmaster–level sea monster, until finally a water snake with a lobster's head appeared before him, its diameter as thick as a meter.

The lobster's head could spray poison from its mouth; the snake's body kept writhing, and then it swung its tail to smash Shen Tianxing's face.

Shen Tianxing remained calm, raising his hand to unleash the Flying Dragon in Heaven technique; a golden dragon collided with it, causing the lobster-headed snake to let out a roar and its body to be pierced by a palm-sized wound.

This lobster-headed snake was only a Land Immortal first layer; although Shen Tianxing's full-force strike wounded it severely, the wound healed at a visible speed.

This also left Shen Tianxing feeling incredulous, so he didn't stop there; instead, he grabbed the Slay Dragon Blade, swiftly flew with the blade, and delivered over a dozen consecutive strikes before chopping the lobster-headed snake into over a dozen segments.

But what left Shen Tianxing feeling incredulous was that beneath the lobster's head, the body kept moving, actually growing a new body.
