783 -12: The New Sea God – Tang Xian
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk was one of Sea God’s obsessions, possessing many of the Sea God’s own knowledge.
Although he was not the Sea God himself, his consciousness was not far off.
Even the Zhèn Hǎi Monk had not seen a creature like Tang before.
“Could this also be the inheritance of some beast god?”
A humanoid weapon capable of transforming into armor, an unidentified beast class—this revelation slightly surprised the Zhèn Hǎi Monk.
Tang Xian remained silent.
Time had already been delayed sufficiently, and he had gotten clear answers to all his questions, he said,
“Master, let’s begin.”
No sooner had his voice faded than Tang Xian’s techniques began to unfold densely.
At the center stood Tang Xian as the source of the poison smoke that began to spread outwards.
This poison smoke had previously been of little use to him, seemingly ineffective against calamity-level creatures.
But later, as he hunted wild boars in the mining area, leading to the evolution of Tang Xian’s skills, the poison smoke gradually began to affect calamity-level creatures, inducing negative states such as hallucinations, slowed reactions, decreased bodily functions, and intermittent dizziness.
Any of these negative states could drastically reduce the difficulty of combat.
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk did not attack rashly.
With a smile, it had been a long time since he had interacted with humans, and he was curious to see the extent of this Challenger’s abilities, who came seeking inheritance.
If it was just Tang Wen’s standard—
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk’s thoughts were abruptly interrupted.
Because suddenly, it had become dark.
Even with the surroundings illuminated by the magma-like veins, the light could not penetrate into the Zhèn Hǎi Monk’s vision.
The Eclipse was activated.
Tang Xian was still very grateful to the Great Tengu.
He regretted not having tasted its flesh, but as they say, when God closes a door, he opens a window.
The Great Tengu’s flesh must have been delicious, otherwise, how could this Eclipse ability be so enticing?
Time and again, perilous battles had been won by seizing the initiative with the Eclipse, blocking the opponent’s perception.
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk was slightly surprised, thinking to himself that this Tang Xian really had some tricks up his sleeve.
But before he could ponder any further, he heard the sound of thunder and lightning surrounding him.
The golden lightning crackled with electricity, and Tang Xian was enveloped in unstable golden currents.
He seemed like a bolt of lightning, his movements unpredictable.
Now, the real attack began.
Although he could not see, the Zhèn Hǎi Monk sensed changes in the air currents.
He extended two fingers and pointed into the void, but at the same moment, he heard the sound of metal clashing.
The bottom of the trident vibrated intensely.
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk was shocked.
What kind of speed was this?
By the time he could sense the opponent’s movements, the opponent’s offensive had already ended?
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk brandished his trident at an astonishing speed.
If the Eclipse were to dissipate, one could see the Zhèn Hǎi Monk as if there were three of him, defending from every angle without blind spots, with the agility of someone with three heads and six arms.
The tingling sounds were dense and frequent, resonating at a high rate.
Even without sight, the Zhèn Hǎi Monk could feel that Tang Xian was attacking with an incredibly frightening speed.
What puzzled the Zhèn Hǎi Monk most was that there were clearly no metallic items on Tang Xian, yet the feedback on the trident felt as if it was the hardest metal in the world.
Of course, Tang Xian wouldn’t reveal his secrets.
The ability of the Gold-Breaking Beast, Gold-Breaking Iron-Crushing, could easily destroy any metal it touched.
Not just metals, but any material that could be sliced by the Gold-Breaking Beast’s strange arms would be destroyed.
That was the reason behind the Gold-Breaking Beast’s terrifying slashing ability.
Different from Tang Jing’s innate talent to control metals, which was more potent, it was specific to metals.
Tang Xian’s destructive power had now become comprehensive.
Suffice it to say—below doomsday-level creatures, the only one he couldn’t harm was Tang himself.
Not just in speed and sharpness, but now Tang Xian also possessed very high levels of physicality and perception.
Even if he didn’t reach calamity-level standards, he would not be below disaster-level.
He had perception even stronger than that of calamity-level beings and some powerful passive abilities.
Tang Xian was not underestimating his opponent; he employed all his methods right from the start against the Zhèn Hǎi Monk.
But he hadn’t noticed that, with the combination of various abilities, especially supported by doomsday-level regenerative power, his strength had undergone a transformation.
For a long time, the Zhèn Hǎi Monk was actually suppressed.
In a man, it’s not only the ferocity of the offensive that’s important, but endurance is also key.
Presently Tang Xian was enduring well.
In the melee within the Forest of Spirits and then the Great Battle against the Myriad Beasts, his physical stamina had grown monstrously.
His offensive did not weaken.
It grew stronger and stronger.
The Zhèn Hǎi Monk furrowed his brows, one hand forming the gesture of Flipping the Flower, while he began to silently chant something.
Then, he seemed to abandon defense, allowing Tang Xian’s offense to fall on him.
And slowly, the Zhèn Hǎi Monk’s skin began to shine with a golden hue.
Tang Xian and the Zhèn Hǎi Monk, both unseen in the darkness, faced off, yet Tang Xian, with his abnormal olfactory perception, could sense a qualitative change in the Zhèn Hǎi Monk’s body.
“Fahai’s Seven Forms, Tortoise Form.”
After this phrase was uttered, Tang Xian felt that his attacks on the Zhèn Hǎi Monk’s body were like hitting that trident.
This monk’s body had become harder than the Gold-Breaking Beast’s arm.
Isn’t this the Golden Bell Shield?
thought Tang Xian, reflecting on how the monk’s skills fit his profile so well.
However, as the Zhèn Hǎi Monk began to retaliate with another form, Tang Xian roughly understood the nature of these so-called Fahai’s Seven Forms.
“Fahai’s Seven Forms, Dragon Form.”
