NOVPUBDuan Muming activated the scroll crafted by the Martial Saint of Great Divine Power from his sect, instantly escaping ten thousand miles away. Even Su Changkong could not track him!
"Ao!"
What furrowed Su Changkong’s brows even more was the sight of a ghastly green flame blazing from within the Purple Lightning Jellyfish, burning it from the inside out and causing it to wail miserably as its flesh combusted rapidly.
Duan Muming harbored extreme hatred for Su Changkong. Having his arm, along with its soul, severed, he might never recover. With his soul damaged as well, his injuries were extremely severe. What he couldn’t obtain, he also wished to deny Su Changkong. As he escaped using the scroll, he spewed Demon Flame to attack the Purple Lightning Jellyfish, burning it to ashes in a scorched earth approach.
"Duan Muming fled with his arm severed!"
The onlookers from the Righteous Law Sect were flabbergasted by the sight of the battle.
Originally, they thought some reckless junior had foolishly provoked Duan Muming, a notoriously fierce character, but the outcome was unexpected— the young man seemed to be a Reincarnator and Duan Muming fled the scene, heavily wounded.
"Let’s go... we should leave!"
Someone from the Righteous Law Sect whispered as the great battle ended. Fearing they’d be affected, the four hurriedly fled to the distance.
Su Changkong paid no attention to the departing members of the Righteous Law Sect. His expression darkened; although he had defeated Duan Muming, Duan Muming had spitefully burnt the True Beast using his Divine Skills. Su Changkong could only watch helplessly as the Purple Lightning Jellyfish was burned to ashes by the internal flames.
"Elder... spare me..."
The woman in the red dress also quietly tried to flee when she suddenly sensed imminent danger and hurriedly sought mercy.
"Pu!"
But Su Changkong’s Blade-shaped Yuan God had already decapitated her with a swift strike. Su Changkong, of course, spared no enemy!
Among the three from the Ancient Demon Sect, only Duan Muming, relying on what seemed to be a scroll crafted by the Martial Saint of Great Divine Power, escaped with his life from Su Changkong’s hands, while the other two were slain by Su Changkong.
"This venture... did not achieve its goals."
Emerging from the void, Su Changkong looked at the charred remains of the giant Purple Lightning Jellyfish on the sea, and he sighed deeply.
Su Changkong had come all the way to the Crescent Sea after hearing about the True Beast, even boldly engaged Duan Muming in direct combat deploying his strongest skills, but still didn’t achieve his objective, leaving him with a feeling of an empty harvest.
But nothing could be done about it; not all desires can be fulfilled!
"We should leave now..."
After hesitating on the sea surface for a long time, Su Changkong finally sighed, resigning to leave.
"Hmm?"
However, as Su Changkong leisurely hovered above the sea, he suddenly tensed, noticing something on the water below. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Though almost turned to charcoal, the Purple Lightning Jellyfish’s body still retained some energy. Despite being useless to Su Changkong, this leftover energy was a bounty for smaller fishes and shrimps in the sea because Duan Muming had fed it a Holy Pill prior. These sea creatures were attracted to the corpse of the Purple Lightning Jellyfish and began nibbling and consuming it, turning it into nourishment for their own growth.
Su Changkong, staring at this utterly normal natural scene, was struck by an illumination—
"One Whale Falls, myriad life flourishes..."
Su Changkong’s eyes brightened as he grasped the flicker of insight in his mind tightly, and an idea gradually emerged. He knew he might have grasped a path to breakthrough!
