Chapter 1047: Awake

However, this time the two-headed giant crab generated eight massive waves, not to devour surrounding sea creatures and replenish its energy, but to voluntarily burn all the life essence it had accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years.

At the same time, a terrifying life force rapidly leaked out in a very short period. Its body, originally the size of a giant whale, visibly shrunk at an alarming rate.

It was precisely this continuous, frantic release of life essence from within its body that attracted countless top-tier marine creatures from the surrounding Endless Sea.

“I understand,” he thought. “This creature is using this method to lure all the immense sea tribes to gather frantically. Soon, thousands, even tens of thousands, of sea creatures will converge here. Once this creature finds the right moment to self-destruct with its accumulated life essence, it will undoubtedly bring a true catastrophe to the myriad sea tribes of the Endless Sea.”

The eight massive waves, combined with the irresistible allure of the two-headed giant crab’s incomparably pure life essence, drew a far greater number of marine species than Xu Yang had anticipated.

“No, it seems Big Brother needs my help now!”

At that moment, the beautiful figure of the Succubus Queen immediately took action. She transformed into the most exquisite line across the sea, flipping off the Black Pearl’s deck. She then rapidly approached Xu Yang’s location, simultaneously activating the aura of the Boundless Ocean God Relic, summoning the artifact back to her side.

The Succubus Queen was naturally capable of communicating with all marine species. After acquiring the Boundless Ocean God Relic, she used it to rapidly extend her mental power, sending signals to the frantically gathering fish, urging them to immediately evacuate and escape the current sea trap.

Awkwardly, upon receiving this guidance, almost all the fish lost their minds in the face of the irresistible temptation. They began to frantically devour and pursue the life essence released by the two-headed giant crab, deeming it worthwhile even at the risk of their lives. After all, a single gulp of the life essence from the Endless Sea’s true ruler, the giant crab, was equivalent to years, or even more than a decade, of accumulation from consuming other fish.

“Hahaha, my children, my grandchildren, come and devour it all! You lowly sea creatures, since I cannot unify the entire Endless Sea, I’ll drag you all down with me to your graves!”

Finally, the moment the eight massive waves completely vanished, the two-headed giant crab’s original orange-yellow glow swiftly turned blood-red. A dangerous aura then rapidly spread, covering all the sea areas within a thousand miles.

It was only then that the powerful marine creatures who had gathered finally realized that the two-headed giant crab wasn't offering a boon; it was genuinely luring them into an abyss.

“It’s too late! We’ve fallen into this madman’s trap. Given his power, once he self-destructs, the force will instantly sweep across the entire Endless Sea, and all marine species within a thousand miles will face extinction!”

Some of the more experienced, top-tier marine creatures who arrived later immediately made this assessment. They finally understood that the Succubus Queen’s earlier warning was not baseless.

“How I regret not listening then! If only I had heeded the Succubus Queen’s command and guidance, I wouldn’t be facing this calamity today!”

The leader of the White Whale tribe lamented with deep regret, while some of the surrounding top-tier powerhouses echoed his sentiments with sorrowful expressions. Their current location was merely a hundred miles from the two-headed giant crab’s core release zone. Even if their movement speed were ten times faster, they could not possibly escape this catastrophe.

Finally, in the core sea area where the two-headed giant crab was located, all the surrounding water began to evaporate frantically in an extremely short time. Such was the terrifying power, a burning force from which there was no escape, leaving them only to face the arrival of death with resignation.

Just at this critical juncture, as the two-headed giant crab was about to self-destruct in the sea, Xu Yang unhesitatingly made his move, activating the nine primordial power vortexes within his body simultaneously.

“Void Ghost Valley, Mystical Gate Array!”

As Xu Yang uttered the name, an ethereal azure glow swiftly emanated from his body, radiating from his limbs and entire being. In an instant, the entire world seemed to transform with the emergence of Xu Yang’s power. The clear, bright daytime sky immediately turned into a countless array of stars.

The night sky shimmered, and the central battleground core of the Endless Sea, once ravaged by turbulent waves, became perfectly calm with the appearance of Xu Yang’s heaven-defying technique.

“Damn it, what’s going on? How did the two-headed giant crab’s aura vanish? What kind of trick has Big Brother pulled now?” Staring blankly at the star-studded night sky, every member of the Glory Battle Team on the Black Pearl’s deck was utterly bewildered. Undoubtedly, Xu Yang’s actions had once again redefined their understanding of power.

“Holy hell, how many astonishing techniques does Big Brother still have hidden? What in the world is going on? He can even alter the natural laws between heaven and earth—is this even a power a single person can possess?!”

Guglas simply slumped onto the deck, gazing blankly and helplessly at the dazzling night sky. Xu Yang’s overwhelmingly powerful display made him feel, for a moment, that his own cultivation was meaningless. Compared to someone like Xu Yang, the realm he had spent his entire life pursuing likely couldn’t even rival the power generated by a mere twitch of Xu Yang’s little finger.

“Don’t be so desperate, fatty. While you’ll never be able to compare to our Big Brother, you have your own brilliance. After all, you have such a beautiful maid following you. If you give up hope this quickly, what will she do?”

Lister, cigar in mouth, patted Guglas’s shoulder with a mischievous grin. He seemed to be comforting him, but in reality, Lister’s words made Guglas feel even more suicidal.

To everyone’s surprise, just as Guglas’s internal defenses were on the brink of despair, his stunningly beautiful maid decisively stepped forward to deliver the final blow. She snorted, crossed her arms, and cast a disdainful look at her master.

“You utterly useless lump! All you do is wallow in self-pity. Even if you can’t compare to Sir Xu Yang, your strength already surpasses ninety percent of cultivators in the Western Regions of Yingzhou Continent! What’s more, you have the unparalleled honor of being Big Brother Xu Yang’s comrade-in-arms. Dominating the entire Western Regions will be effortless for you in the future. Why do you compare yourself to those supreme figures at the pinnacle? Aren’t you just looking for trouble? A fellow like you should be hung from a tree and beaten daily to knock some sense into you!”
