Chapter 255
"The waterfolk clenched their fists, their hearts racing with tension.
“What’s that little guy up to?”
Shang Qinqing asked, her curiosity piqued as she turned to Huai Kong, the monk.
Deng, switch channels.
**Chapter 274: The Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale? Just a Hammer!**
In the depths of the water.
Navigating through the undercurrents, the young Tianjiao, Li Xiao, finally spotted jagged rocks not far ahead.
The rocks jutted out in a chaotic arrangement, resembling the skeletal remains of a colossal beast, or perhaps they were just that—bones worn smooth by years of turbulent waters, indistinguishable from the stones around them.
It was hard to imagine the terrifying size such a creature must have had in life.
Splash—
The sound of crashing waves echoed from the rocky outcrop.
Li Mo released his perception of the water currents, pinpointing the source of the waves.
Moments later, he saw Guo Jing trapped in a crevice of the rocks, or more accurately, caught in the jaws of the “beast’s remains.”
She struggled fiercely like a lightbulb wedged in a mouth, trying to reach the whale’s tail outside, but the rocky jaws remained unmoved.
“Li Mo!”
Guo Jing managed to peek out through the cracks.
“How did you get stuck in there?” Li Mo asked.
“I was just passing by when I spotted the Tianwai Shenyu (Heavenly Jade), and I couldn’t help but reveal my true form. I can’t change back for now.”
For the demon clan, transforming was not as simple as eating or drinking.
Some even needed to regularly consume special heavenly materials to maintain their human form, especially those of lower cultivation.
“Don’t move for now; I’ll try to help you out.”
“Wait, aren’t you a traditional demon? Doesn’t that mean you have to touch my tail? I knew it...”
“?”
Li Mo’s mouth twitched slightly.
So you’re not even concerned about whether I might pull you out and break your tail?
“I didn’t plan to pull you out.”
With the Star Hammer in hand, Li Mo was about to smash the rocks.
Suddenly—
Woo—
A distant, ancient echo resonated above the water.
Li Mo felt a chill run down his spine, and Guo Jing was no better off, sensing a terror deep within her soul.
Hmm?
Li Mo turned to look, and in the distance, turbulent waves parted to reveal a shadow larger than Guo Jing’s true form, with scales like dark iron that seemed to distort light.
...
“Ta Nai?”
A middle-aged man from the giant whale clan exclaimed in shock, then shook his head:
“No, its bloodline is purer; it’s a true Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale! It has grown dragon horns!”
In front of the light screen, many powerful demons wore serious expressions, especially the giant whale clan:
“Why is the true spirit cast by the Tianwai Shenyu this time so exaggeratedly strong? Or are we just unlucky to encounter the most powerful one?”
“Our ancestors were among the ancient ocean overlords, not weaker than true dragons of the same realm!”
“Even if the princess isn’t trapped, her chances are slim, let alone…”
“We can only rely on Li Mo now.”
“But… will he help?”
At this, the giant whale clan fell silent.
Let’s not forget, there’s only one Tianwai Shenyu.
Once everyone entered the Buddha’s realm, the various clans became competitors.
If it were them, they wouldn’t take such a huge risk to do something thankless.
This Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale was undoubtedly one of the rarest true spirits.
Wu Qing and Murong Feng exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in each other’s eyes.
From what they had learned from Murong Xiao, he would definitely lend a hand.
But neither of them wanted to see the hope of the Mingjiao clan and the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale suffer mutual destruction.
Li Mo still had to face the true spirit that hadn’t even appeared yet.
“Hmm? Li Mo is going in!”
“He’s choosing to confront the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale head-on?”
...
“True spirit of our ancestors?!”
Still trapped, Guo Jing felt a surge of fear from her ancestors.
Her massive form trembled, and she was about to urge the two dragons to leave.
Then she saw a figure striding across the waves.
“If I can gain the essence of this dragon whale, could it give me another transformation in my seventy-two changes?”
This thought flashed through Li Xiao’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on it.
After all, a certain fighting king had said, “Just fight first, and figure things out while you’re at it.”
Bang—
Bang—
Wherever the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale passed, seemingly indestructible rocks were crushed to dust, revealing its soulless eyes.
It had no intelligence, at most some residual instincts of a true spirit.
Even so, it was enough for it to wield the bloodline power of the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale clan.
Gravity.
One could say this bloodline power was simple and crude, unadorned, but it couldn’t be called weak.
Not only did the tides and undercurrents around it solidify like a quagmire, but the force of its charge also multiplied.
“As long as it’s not something I can’t catch up to,” Li Mo thought, watching the creature bear down on him, feeling a surge of excitement.
He hadn’t truly hit a target with that divine hammer technique yet.
The only time he had tried, he had missed due to Yin Mianmian’s strange movements.
The seven mysterious pills in his dantian trembled, a wild power surging within him, and the Star Hammer, this mysterious weapon, felt as if it might not withstand the force of a God-Viewing realm.
And then—
An inexplicable scene unfolded.
The massive, over a hundred-foot-long, jet-black giant whale collided with a figure that seemed minuscule in comparison, even smaller than its horns.
Though small, that figure glimmered with a faint golden light...
Heavenly Flip!
In that instant, it felt as if even the water waves had frozen.
Buzz—
Outside, the sound of bronze bells clashing echoed, producing a chaotic and jarring noise, like a microphone suddenly dropping to the ground.
Many gazes turned uncertainly toward the sky.
They truly hadn’t expected Li Mo to choose a direct confrontation!
Crack—
A light sound.
In the next moment, the enormous true spirit of the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale revealed spiderweb-like cracks across its body, the fissures spreading from its horns to its entire form.
Then it collapsed like a crumbling mountain, its massive body crashing down, sending waves soaring into the sky, which then transformed into fine mist falling back down.
“Ah?”
The giant whale clan demon looked utterly bewildered.
“Holy cow,” Murong Feng exclaimed in disbelief, struggling to maintain his composure.
Huai Kong’s murky old eyes suddenly sparkled with a bright glimmer.
Heng Yuan opened his mouth, quickly muttering “Amitabha” to remind himself not to break his meditation.
The other demons leaned back in shock.
“He just shattered the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale?!”
“Li Mo will always be a friend of our giant whale clan!”
“That was terrifying... Wait, who just wet themselves? I stepped in it.”
“Sorry, I couldn’t hold it in; I sprayed ink.”
“Wow, Li Mo seems... even stronger than we thought! It’s hard to say who would win between him and the Qingluan Goddess!”
“Our unparalleled Tianjiao crushes everything!”
“Our Qingluan Goddess…”
The waterfolk and avian clans began bickering again.
Meanwhile, as the true spirit dissipated, a glimmer of spiritual light entered Li Mo’s brow, guiding him to the location of the Tianwai Shenyu.
At the same time, it brought him a phantom of the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale.
If only there were some blood...
【Congratulations, host, for successfully investing in ‘Guo Jing,’ helping her escape, and witnessing true power.】
【Investment feedback: One drop of Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale blood.】
What a coincidence!
These true spirits were all projections preserved by the Yuhuang (Jade Phoenix) deity.
But who knows...
Is there a true dragon among them?
Or even an existence that rivals a true dragon?
What will his seventy-two transformations ultimately become?
**Chapter 275: The Unity of the Demon Clans? Proceed as Planned!**
In the surging waters, the mist propelled into the sky by immense force took a long time to settle.
Li Mo stored the Sea-Splitting Dragon Whale’s blood carefully, intending to return and rescue Guo Jing, only to find that she had somehow reverted to her human form.
Her muscular body flushed red:
“Li Mo, you really do care...”
“Not at all.”
Mingjiao’s Li Xiao pulled his thoughts back, making a gesture of respect:
“For the unity of the demon clans, I simply won’t give up on any good demon.”
“Boss Mo speaks well!”
Wu Damo wanted to clap, but in his true form, his two claws couldn’t meet.
Now, whatever Boss Mo said, he would agree.
Because just moments ago, he realized how gentle Li Xiao had been when he hit him, even careful..."
