Chapter 1762: Giant Strength to Exterminate Demons

Inside the azure lotus, streaks of azure sword shadows could be seen, sparks flying, accompanied by muffled clanging sounds.

The colossal beast's body was covered in gashes. Its eyes turned blood-red, and it unleashed a torrent of crimson-gold flames, striking three Azure Glaze Swords.

The spiritual light of the three Azure Glaze Swords dimmed, and they began to wobble precariously.

Seizing this opportunity, the beast's sharp horn emitted a thick beam of red light, hitting one of the Azure Glaze Swords. The sword was instantly sent flying backward, and the beast charged directly at the remaining Azure Glaze Swords.

Wang Qingshan changed his sword art, and at the same time, opened his mouth, unleashing the Azure Lotus Karma Fire towards the colossal beast.

The displaced Azure Glaze Sword swiftly returned to its position. All nine Azure Glaze Swords then simultaneously unleashed fine azure threads, transforming swords into silk. Only a sword cultivator who has comprehended Sword Intent can perform this great divine ability. Sword Intent is a threshold for sword cultivators; only by comprehending it can one be considered a true sword cultivator.

The dense azure threads struck the colossal beast, producing muffled thuds. The beast let out pained roars. Had Wang Qingshan been a Soul Transformation cultivator, this attack would have severely wounded it. Unfortunately, Wang Qingshan was only in the Nascent Soul stage, merely managing to injure the fifth-tier demonic beast.

Numerous blood spots appeared on the beast's body. It roared skyward, its entire body erupting with raging flames. A massive fire cloud, several miles wide, enveloped the beast. This enormous fire cloud, carrying immense heatwaves, crashed towards the sword formation. Simultaneously, the beast continuously spewed golden flames, attacking the Azure Glaze Swords.

When the golden flames struck the Azure Glaze Swords, their spiritual light instantly dimmed. The golden flames were clearly no ordinary fire; only the Azure Lotus Sword fared slightly better.

RUMBLE!With a thunderous roar, the nine Azure Glaze Swords were sent flying backward, and the Azure Lotus Sword followed suit.

Wang Qingshan frowned deeply. He had actively withdrawn the sword formation. If the confrontation continued, his Natal Flying Swords would be destroyed. The Azure Glaze Swords were mere ordinary magic treasures, not spirit treasures, and the golden flames spewed by the colossal beast were no ordinary fire, otherwise, their power would not have been so immense.

A series of rapid pipa sounds rang out, causing the seawater to churn violently, forming towering tidal waves. The water rotated intensely, creating a massive whirlpool a hundred miles in diameter. A powerful current suddenly appeared, causing the red flames covering the beast's body to flicker uncontrollably, seeming as though they could dissipate at any moment.

The colossal beast unleashed rolling golden flames onto the seawater, causing white smoke to rise and the water to boil.

After a series of "hissing" sounds, thousands of blue ice needles shot forth. Even when they came within three zhang of the colossal beast, the blue ice needles remained intact.

The colossal beast sensed trouble and tried to evade, but at that moment, an unbearable sharp pain flared in its Sea of Consciousness, which felt as if it were about to burst.

Affected by this, the beast's reaction paused. The dense blue ice needles struck its body, instantly bursting and transforming into a mass of blue cold energy.

Patches of blue ice formed on the beast's body, freezing a significant portion of its physique and further slowing its reactions.

Above its head, a white light suddenly illuminated the void—it was the Ice Moon Ring. As soon as the Ice Moon Ring appeared, it instantly unleashed countless white cold energies, shrouding the colossal beast. The Ice Moon Ring's size dramatically increased, plummeting down in an instant and ensnaring the beast.

The Ice Moon Ring continuously emitted white cold energy, freezing a significant portion of the beast's body.

The Azure Lotus Karma Fire landed on the beast's tail, causing it to let out agonizing roars. A hazy blue sound wave swept forth, reversing the seawater wherever it passed.

The beast's sharp horn shot out a red light, meeting the incoming attack.

RUMBLE!The red light collided with the blue sound wave, annihilating each other and unleashing a powerful air current.

Just then, the sea surface in front of the beast suddenly exploded, as a three-hundred-zhang-tall Kui Water Warrior emerged from the water. In its hand, it wielded a giant, shimmering blue axe, which it swung towards the colossal beast. Even before the blue axe descended, ripples like water waves spread through the void.

With no escape, the colossal beast hastily spewed a stream of golden flames towards the Kui Water Warrior.

RUMBLE!With a loud bang, the Kui Water Warrior exploded, disintegrating into a shower of seawater. A portion of the water splashed onto the colossal beast.

Amidst the seawater, a dazzling blue light flared, and Wang Changsheng appeared, having used a Water Escape technique.

He held the Sea-Calming Axe in his hand, his expression indifferent.

He raised the Sea-Calming Axe high and brought it down towards the colossal beast's head.

The colossal beast tried to evade, but again, a sharp pain shot through its Sea of Consciousness, slowing its reaction. The Sea-Calming Axe accurately cleaved onto its head.

With a muffled clang, sparks flew. Wang Changsheng felt as if he had struck an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron, the impact numbing his hand.

The colossal beast let out pained roars, its massive body writhing incessantly, trying to dislodge Wang Changsheng. But it was no use; Wang Changsheng seemed to be glued to its body.

Wang Changsheng put away the Sea-Calming Axe and, holding nine Sea-Stabilizing Orbs in each hand, slammed them onto the beast's head.

The colossal beast let out deafening roars, and raging flames erupted from its body, engulfing Wang Changsheng.

However, soon after, a large expanse of blue cold energy burst forth from Wang Changsheng's body, causing the flames to flicker wildly and extinguish. His fists relentlessly pounded the beast's head. The colossal beast's massive body plunged into the sea, splashing up towering waves. Still wreathed in flames, it caused the seawater to boil.

Wang Changsheng ignored everything and continued to pound the beast's head with his fists. The colossal beast's resistance grew weaker and weaker.

"Stop, stop! I am willing to acknowledge you as my master; spare my life!" The colossal beast pleaded for mercy.

Wang Changsheng remained unmoved. He had previously fought an Eight-Winged Snow Pixiu, but it had escaped, primarily because the battle took place in an ice field. This particular demonic beast possessed the bloodline of a "Cilie" beast yet specialized in fire-element magic. Fighting in the open sea gave Wang Changsheng a significant advantage, especially since Wang Xin had revealed the beast's unique divine ability, making its defeat almost inevitable.

Had he encountered this beast in a volcanic region, Wang Changsheng would not have dared to engage in close-quarters combat.

The colossal beast's head was a bloody mess, with its skull faintly visible.

Even spirit treasures couldn't subdue this demonic beast, so Wang Changsheng had to resort to close-quarters combat, using his physical strength to achieve victory.

He needed materials to refine spirit treasures, and this fifth-tier demonic beast had arrived at precisely the right moment.

Wang Changsheng's right fist glowed brightly, and he slammed it onto the beast's head once more. The colossal beast let out a pained roar, then ceased to move. Its skull shattered into pieces, pulverized by Wang Changsheng.

With a flash of red light, a miniature version of the beast flew out from its corpse, soaring towards the sky. However, before the demonic beast's essence soul could fly much further, a massive red pagoda descended from the heavens, collecting it.

There were several reasons for his success in eliminating this demonic beast. First, Wang Changsheng's divine abilities inherently countered this beast; water suppresses fire. Second, he had the advantage of terrain; being in the vast sea, Wang Changsheng could easily manipulate water spiritual energy. Third, and most importantly, Wang Changsheng was a body cultivator. He cultivated both dharma and body, having consumed various spirit elixirs and miraculous medicines that strengthened his physique, making his physical body extremely powerful.

Wang Changsheng had also considered using the Nether Moon Orb, but he would not resort to it unless absolutely necessary. This was mainly because the traces left by the Nether Moon Orb were difficult to erase, potentially exposing the existence of the Heavenly Grade secret realm.
