784 -12: The New Sea God – Tang Xian_2
The monk brandishing the trident as if he were wielding a Zen staff, the staff tracing through the air stirred up a tempest of wind and thunder.
In an instant, it was as if a mighty dragon exhaled. 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
The trajectory of the trident’s swings resembled the sinuous path of a dragon.
Tang Xian realized, wasn’t this Tang Feiji?
Elements surged forth without restraint, and even though Tang Xian’s movement was as fast as Lei Xiao, the battlefield gradually filled with more and more wind, thunder, fire, and rain, each element carrying a devastating intent.
Yet Tang Xian wasn’t afraid.
However, he was curious, could it be that the monk’s Fahai Seven Styles were a concentrated form of the abilities of the Sea God’s seven great servants?
The previous turtle form, was it actually Cleveland, that enormous Sea Turtle?
With that thought, the monk had already moved on to the next style, the Shark Form.
Finally, he was no longer standing still; his speed suddenly became lightning fast.
As the trident danced, Tang Xian noticed the sea water beginning to slowly flood the space.
Even if he held his breath, he could fight the monk, but once the space filled with water, his speed would inevitably slow down.
That Sea Shark, its speed in water surpassed even Tang Feiji, being the fastest creature in the sea.
And possessed of an equally monstrous sense of smell.
At this moment, Tang Xian found the tides had turned; the monk had managed to get close, and thinking that Swallow the Sun was no longer effective, he immediately dispelled it.
After the thick darkness dissipated, Tang Xian saw not the graceful monk beneath the moon plucking blossoms with a tranquil, carefree air, but a furious monk whose body gleamed with golden light and muscles bulged.
“Fahai Seven Styles, Thousand Hand Form.”
As the words fell, the furious monk’s body transformed once more, and Tang Xian saw many hands extending from the monk’s back, which at first glance, resembled a giant octopus.
This must be the Sea Octopus, without a doubt.
The extension of these arms significantly, even multiple times, amplified the monk’s attack strength and frequency.
Even Tang Xian could no longer defend himself, and had to let those attacks land on him.
The sea water had filled the space almost completely; Lei Xiao was the fastest on land, and the Sea Shark was the fastest in water.
Now that the home ground had turned into a watery domain, Tang Xian’s speed was naturally unable to escape.
He was getting hit all over.
But he wasn’t anxious; what you’re beating is Tang, what does that have to do with me, Tang Xian?
Although the prompts for increased resistance in his mind continued without interruption.
Tang Xian was destined to win this battle.
He had already abandoned defense, beginning to exchange blows with the monk.
No matter how terrifying the turtle form’s defensive power, under Eden, all beings are equal.
Initially, the monk hadn’t noticed, but gradually he began to feel a slight pain.
His eyes showed resignation, clearly realizing the strength of this inheritor of Eden, and knowing that if he could not quickly resolve the fight, it would be extremely unfavorable for him.
The most critical point was that, up to now, he had been utterly unable to harm Tang Xian.
Hesitantly, the monk withdrew ten zhang away, brought his hands together in prayer, and the trident hovered in the water beside him, standing as if alive.
“Even if applying the following forms seems to have no effect on the Caster, let’s settle this in one move then,” said the monk.
He had no choice, Tang Xian could drag this out, even if he didn’t touch the monk, those poisons would eventually fill the space, and once dissolved in water, they would spread even faster.
Tang Xian thought to himself, what other moves does this baldy have?
Couldn’t be that he can kill me with one punch, could it?
You can kill me, Tang Xian, in a second?
If you could instantly kill me, I’d swallow that trident right here on the spot.
The monk didn’t undergo any further transformation, but with a great shout in an indistinct chant from the monk, Tang Xian felt an extremely terrifying, almost tangible pressure imprisoning him.
Fahai Seven Styles’ Whale Form, the Whale’s Song.
As each syllable was uttered, Tang Xian felt as though the entire deep sea weighed down upon him, immobilizing him.
After that, the monk’s hand gestures kept changing.
Beyond the terrifying suppression, a dreadfully shocking energy was gathering.
This is bad, Tang Xian had a bad premonition in his heart — all they were having was a friendly bout, so why did it feel like the opponent was fighting for his life?
Bulging veins popped on the monk’s forehead, as if concentrating an immensely powerful force.
He bellowed once more, and a vortex emerged behind him.
The vortex, like a door, seemed to lead to another world where a monster capable of destroying the world was contained.
“Fahai’s Seventh Style Mystery, the Unity of Seven Techniques.”
From within the vortex, indeed, a colossal monster appeared, and the vast space became suddenly crowded with its emergence.
The Sea Demon Beast, which was the true form of the Sea God.
This is only an extremely small part of the Sea God, yet its sheer size was even more exaggerated than the Sea Titans Tang Xian had seen before.
How many eyes, ears, mouths, noses does the Sea God have, exactly?
How many limbs?
What does it truly look like?
It’s impossible to know.
Just as the ancients did not know the world was round, leading to the long-held belief that the heavens were round and the earth was square.
What appeared before Tang Xian was an abyssal gaping maw.
Unable to move, Tang Xian simply closed his eyes and said,
“After this move, the Monk who Supresses the Sea must be weakened to the point of being unable to continue the battle.
Tang, hold on.”
[Okay.]
Tang’s response was a single word, but it was full of confidence.
As the abyssal maw devoured voraciously, the sea water of merely one region rapidly expanded, and its immense impact even reached the far end, affecting the peripheral sea-terrified beasts.
[So terrifying, it’s a deluge!]A sea-terrified beast ran around yelling, with raging waves chasing behind it.
[I am a seagrass, a seagrass, the sea water and I are together, together.]Another sea-terrified beast decided to continue hypnotizing itself, convincing itself it was a seagrass.
The rest of the sea-terrified beasts also found places to hide in a very cowardly fashion.
Naturally, sea-terrified beasts aren’t afraid of seawater, but as the area had been dry for hundreds of years, they became frightened upon seeing something they had never encountered before.
The tide surged tumultuously.
After a long uproar within the heart chamber of the Sea God, the tide gradually receded.
The sea-terrified beasts with large eyes were washed away until they saw stars, dizzily non-stop.
Deep inside the heart chamber, on the other side, the sea water began to quickly subside, and the Monk who Suppresses the Sea sat upright on the ground, hands pressed together, trying to find ways to regain his strength.
Summoning a part of the Sea God’s body was an enormous expenditure for him, and such terrifying power was something no other calamity-level creature in this world could withstand.
Even the Caster felt an immense burden
The Monk who Suppressed the Sea, however, did not seem too fatigued, and his breathing was not disturbed, but his strength was indeed completely spent, rendering him unable to fight any longer.
The victor was clear.
Although the Monk’s face remained calm, there was a trace of pity in his eyes.
It was not pity from having killed an enemy with his powerful attack.
Because the enemy—did not seem to be injured at all.
Tang Xian and Tang had already separated.
In the last strike, Tang had detached from Tang Xian, utilizing the sea currents to push Tang Xian far away.
Although still within the abyssal maw, Tang Xian’s position let him avoid the horrendous crushing force.
Tang, however, suffered terribly, his body torn and battered, flesh mangled by the terrible force of the bite.
Tang Xian quickly estimated—if that abyssal maw bit down once more, Tang might not even recover…
Luckily, after that strike, the Monk who Suppresses the Sea appeared to have exhausted his strength.
“That really was a ruthless blow,” Tang Xian said with clear displeasure.
Turning a deadly hand against one’s own companion, by Tang Xian’s nature, meant repaying the deed in kind, double.
But the Monk’s pitiful expression made Tang Xian feel that perhaps there was no longer any need to do anything.
“It was an order I could not defy.
I hope the caster will forgive me.
Furthermore, the caster has passed the trial.
There are few creatures in this world that can pose a threat to you now.
You may now take over the inheritance of the Lord Sea God.”
As the words of the Monk who Suppresses the Sea fell, the trident slowly flew towards Tang Xian.
As he gripped the trident, Tang Xian’s sea of consciousness shook violently, and then he looked at the Monk with some surprise.
The figure of the Monk grew dimmer, and, pressing his hands together once more, he said,
“From this day forth, you are the new Lord Sea God.”
