Chapter 538: Dragon Saliva True Water

On the surging sea, the colossal water beast roared to the sky, and the Genesis Qi fluctuations erupting from its body violently pushed away the surrounding seawater, creating a vacuum zone.

A dark yellow liquid flowed over its colossal body, like a water shield covering its surface.

A low, faint dragon roar emanated from it, causing the thousand-zhang water beast's ferocious aura to rise steadily and making the air vibrate.

The Saints' Disciples watched this scene, their expressions a little grim, clearly realizing that the thousand-zhang water beast was now even more ferocious than before.

Yet, no matter how much more ferocious the thousand-zhang water beast became, they could not retreat now. So, they exchanged glances, and the next instant, almost simultaneously, they shot forward.

Boom! Boom! Waves of astonishingly powerful Genesis Qi swept out from the Saints' Disciples' bodies. One formidable Genesis Art after another was unleashed from their hands, ultimately descending like countless rainbows, overwhelmingly bombarding the thousand-zhang water beast's body.

However, facing the Saints' Disciples' assault, the thousand-zhang water beast did not dodge. It stood its ground, allowing the Genesis Qi attacks to land on its body.

Buzz! Buzz! Yet, those incredibly powerful attacks, landing on its body, only caused ripples to emanate from the dark yellow water-robe before being completely dissipated.

The colossal body of the thousand-zhang water beast remained as steady as a rock.

Upon seeing this, Li Qingchan and the others' expressions grew even grimmer. They clearly hadn't expected this "Dragon Saliva True Water" to be so incredibly potent.

The thousand-zhang water beast let out a long howl, its six arms clenching in the air. Torrential Genesis Qi swept out, raising countless waves, which astonishingly transformed into an immensely colossal water pillar. The pillar roared through the sky, shattering the void, and violently swung towards the Saints' Disciples high above.

Its speed was as swift as lightning.

The Saints' Disciples quickly dodged, but Zhao Zhu was a step too late and was heavily struck by the massive water pillar.

His figure was sent flying backward in a sorry state, carving a ten-thousand-zhang long trail across the sea. His face paled, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clearly having sustained injuries.

Having gained the upper hand, the thousand-zhang water beast showed no mercy, pursuing Zhao Zhu directly, attempting to defeat him first.

However, just as it lunged forward, the sea surface suddenly erupted. A colossal water dragon roared out, coiling around the beast with bared fangs and claws, binding it in place.

Within the water dragon, numerous Genesis Runes flowed, clearly indicating it was formed by a single Genesis Rune.

High in the sky, Yao Yao, holding her Genesis Rune Brush, said coldly, "Aren't you attacking yet?"

Seeing this, the other Saints' Disciples attacked again. Surging Genesis Qi soared into the sky, once more transforming into endless barrages of attacks, fiercely bombarding the thousand-zhang water beast.

Boom! Boom! The entire sea surface was blasted open, forming a massive vacuum where the seawater could not flow back.

In the distance, countless disciples watched this scene, all secretly horrified, acknowledging that the Saints' Disciples' attacks were indeed indescribably ferocious.

Boom! Boom! The Saints' Disciples' furious assault continued for over ten minutes before gradually subsiding. Under such an intense bombardment, even mountain ranges would be leveled.

As the vibrations caused by the violent Genesis Qi gradually dissipated, countless gazes turned towards the bombarded area.

There, the thousand-zhang water beast's body seemed to have shrunk slightly, but the Dragon Saliva True Water flowed slowly over its surface, still protecting it as if it were an impenetrable fortress.

Although the thousand-zhang water beast was somewhat injured, its damage clearly fell far short of the Saints' Disciples' expectations.

Having been subjected to such Genesis Qi bombardment, the thousand-zhang water beast roared in anger. The Dragon Saliva True Water on its body erupted with light, and mighty Genesis Qi was seen surging from the Genesis Pool, rapidly pouring into its body.

Thus, in just a few breaths, the thousand-zhang water beast, whose body had just shrunk from the Saints' Disciples' bombardment, visibly began to recover.

"No, that Dragon Saliva True Water is too troublesome!" Li Qingchan exclaimed, biting her lip.

Their fierce attacks failed to defeat the thousand-zhang water beast. As long as it held on, it could immediately draw power from the Genesis Pool using the Dragon Saliva True Water to recover itself.

This meant that as long as it possessed the Dragon Saliva True Water, the thousand-zhang water beast was virtually invincible in the Genesis Pool.

In contrast, no matter how abundant their Genesis Qi, it would eventually deplete.

Dragging this out would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

"If we can't break through its protective 'Dragon Saliva True Water,' there's probably no point in continuing this battle," Kong Sheng said expressionlessly.

"Even if we can't break through the Dragon Saliva True Water, we cannot give up!" Shang Chunqiu said in a deep voice.

"Then how do you propose we fight? It can draw power from the Genesis Pool; if we drag this on, we're guaranteed to lose," Kong Sheng said coldly.

Shang Chunqiu's brows furrowed tightly; he clearly felt a severe headache coming on.

The Saints' Disciples exchanged glances and fell silent. The thousand-zhang water beast's "Dragon Saliva True Water" left them feeling somewhat helpless.

While they remained silent, the disciples from the Seven Peaks behind them also sensed the stalemate and became agitated. After all, they too had witnessed that even the combined efforts of the Saints' Disciples seemed unable to inflict destructive damage on the thousand-zhang water beast.

If even the Saints' Disciples couldn't defeat the thousand-zhang water beast, then everyone would likely return empty-handed from this Genesis Pool Festival. This would undoubtedly be a significant blow to the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect's Seven Peaks.

Zhou Yuan also noticed the situation. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of worry flickered in his eyes. He had realized that while the thousand-zhang water beast was powerful, the combined forces of the Saints' Disciples, along with Yao Yao and Tun Tun, might not necessarily be incapable of dealing with it.

It was simply that no one expected the dark yellow water-robe on the thousand-zhang water beast's body to be so formidable. Not only did it possess astonishing defensive power, but it could also absorb energy from the Genesis Pool.

It was precisely because of this that the Saints' Disciples found the situation so tricky.

Zhou Yuan sighed softly. The battle was at a very high level, and at his current stage, he feared he could not intervene effectively; even if he did, it would likely be useless. So, for now, he could only hope the Saints' Disciples could defeat the thousand-zhang water beast, otherwise, they too would leave empty-handed this time.

High in the sky, facing the fruitless discussion, Li Qingchan bit her lip and said, "If we can't do it any other way, we'll just have to force it. I'm truly curious to see if we can shatter its turtle shell before our Genesis Qi runs out!"

The others frowned upon hearing this. While the method was the most brutal and direct, they honestly didn't have much confidence in outlasting the thousand-zhang water beast.

After all, this was the Genesis Pool, and the water beast possessed an unimaginable territorial advantage.

"Breaking this Dragon Saliva True Water isn't impossible." Just then, a clear voice suddenly spoke.

Everyone paused, their gazes turning and then converging on Yao Yao.

"Yao Yao, you have a way?" Li Qingchan asked, delighted.

The others also looked at her with surprise and doubt.

"Everything in the world has a counter. While this Dragon Saliva True Water is formidable, suppressing it is not impossible," Yao Yao said unhurriedly.

"Oh? You can do it?" Shang Chunqiu asked, surprised.

Yao Yao shook her head. "I can't," she replied.

The others paused. Kong Sheng said coldly, "Then what are you saying?"

Yao Yao's lips curled into a slight, enigmatic smile. "I can't, but someone else can," she said.

Everyone exchanged confused glances, but then Zhao Zhu suddenly sneered mockingly, "Are you going to say that the one who can do this is Zhou Yuan?"

Yao Yao glanced at him and nodded her head slightly.

"It seems you're not completely beyond redemption after all."
