Chapter 1066: Chapter 1067: I Bought a Watch Last Year
Chen Heyan’s face turned pale with shock. He hadn’t initially felt any threat from the thunderbolts that the Demonic Beast had previously fired, but the current release of thunderous power was incomparable to those simple arrows. Such a large mass falling could rival the fury of the very heavens, and his human flesh and blood could not withstand it at all.
Thunder was the strongest and most yang energy in the world, capable of overpowering all things. His Ice Cultivation Technique had no resistance against such a degree of thunderous power. He could only let the thunder dragon slash at him, its violent energy wreaking havoc in his domain, tearing the sea surface into shreds.
“Brother Zilla is still as fierce as ever, adding violent thunderous power after the Red Lotus Karma Fire. I just wonder if this Half-Holy Level Godzilla has its own domain?”
“If it does, that would be a complete bug, an unsolvable existence!”
Li Xiaobai leaned against the ship’s rail, watching the scene unfold before him with a sigh.
Godzilla suddenly soared into the sky, resilient and accompanied by both Karmic Fire and thunderous powers. If it gained another domain power, it would be invincible among its peers. But for now, it seemed unlikely. Aside from these powers, Godzilla had shown no other capabilities, appearing to have just added thunder as an additional method of attack. Nevertheless, this alone was awe-inspiring.
“Young Master Li, what exactly is this Demonic Beast…?”
Uncle Huo on the deck finally reacted, moving quickly to bring Huo Yuhao and other young family members back from the distant sea. Seeing the Godzilla vividly battling with Chen Heyan, they were collectively petrified.
This Demonic Beast, which they had never seen before, was too ferocious. Even from a distance, they could feel an indomitable and terrifying will emitting from it. Faced with such a beast tamed by Young Master Li, despite having witnessed Li Xiaobai’s formidable prowess, they were still unable to calm their shock. Facing such a creature in person was a completely different experience, and they dared not guess what kind of cultivator could tame such a ferocious beast.
Now, they would believe anyone who said that Li Xiaobai was an incarnation of a Saint Realm powerhouse playing around in the human world.
“This is Godzilla, or Brother Zilla as you can call him. He’s my adorable pet. Looks impressive, doesn’t he?”
Li Xiaobai smiled cheerfully. These fellows were nice people, but too easily scared, acting as if it were a matter of life and death over a little fight with a Half-Saint expert. What a trivial matter!
You know nothing of the power of money.
“Not bad at all, quite impressive actually. It makes my calves cramp, and only a singular person like Young Master Li could tame it.”
The Huo Family members were speechless internally. You call this creature a cute pet?
Your pet stands imposingly tall?
Your pet fights to the death with people?
Is that what you call a cute pet? Are you misunderstanding the concept of a cute pet?
“You flatter me too much.”
Li Xiaobai waved his hand indifferently.
“With Brother Zilla here, that old guy is definitely done for today. I’ll have him neatly dealt with in a moment.”
“Young Master is powerful!”
…
On the sea, the battle had reached a fever pitch.
“Rootless Water!”
Chen Heyan roared, his hands evolving Tai Chi in the void. The ocean, influenced by him, slowly revolved, using a bizarre force to unload the thunderous power to the greatest extent. The remaining traces of power gathered on the sea surface but did not cause any damage.
“Haha, in the end, it’s just a beast after all. Though it’s exceptionally brave, it has Bloodline Power unlike normal Demonic Beasts, yet its intelligence is slightly limited, and its reactions are indeed a bit sluggish. It has tremendous power but cannot fully harness it, which is truly a waste.”
“If I could control this destructive power, I would even dare to flip the table and seize power myself!”
Chen Heyan saw the thunderous power being unloaded by the sea and constantly sighed with relief. After battling for such a long time, he had begun to grasp Godzilla’s operational patterns. Although this beast was fierce and contained endless energy, its intelligence did not seem very high, only knowing how to release power in the crudest way, as if it had never cultivated any Techniques.
Facing him head-to-head, Chen was certain he would be severely wounded immediately. A single slap from the opponent could kill him, but as a human, he had intelligence. He used a kite-flying tactic to constantly move and pull, avoiding all of the beast’s offensive moves and then seizing opportunities to attack its weak spots, and victory was not entirely out of reach.
This tactic was ideally suited for such a slow-moving large creature.
“Tai Chi Power unloading the vigorous strength of thunder, Chen Heyan could cultivate to the Half-Saint Realm. His practical experience must be quite rich. A move that takes advantage of the situation using the seawater to evolve Tai Chi easily counters Godzilla’s thunderous power.”
Li Xiaobai muttered to himself. The main reason for the successful resolution was that Godzilla’s control over thunder was limited to releasing it all at once without specificity. If it could guide the lightning like cultivators, even just a little, this power would undoubtedly not be something that Chen Heyan could resolve.
However, if it was truly capable of that, then it would no longer be Godzilla. Releasing all its power in one breath, opting for a head-on attitude against all opponents, that was the charm of Li Godzilla.
On the sea, Godzilla seemed to be getting serious with Chen Heyan. In the sky, thunder roared and the void was filled with large thunderballs that never dissipated. While the unleashed thunderous power got neutralized by the unusual whirlpool on the sea, the gathered thunder didn’t decrease but increased instead.
It seemed determined to exhaust Chen Heyan.
“Damn! This guy really doesn’t know how to adapt his tactics. Shouldn’t he find another method to combat when his attack got neutralized? What does he mean by sticking with me, trying to compete in the stamina of Immortal Yuan Power?”
“I’m at the Half-Saint Realm, able to last three days and nights without a problem. What is this Demonic Beast thinking?”
Chen Heyan lamented inwardly. It was troublesome to compete with a naive opponent.
With such a fighting method, even if he managed to survive, he would likely be severely injured.
“Roar!”
Just as he felt overwhelmed, Godzilla roared angrily again, opening its vast mouth and unleashing a thick thunderbolt that transformed into a thunder dragon, charging directly at Chen Heyan.
“Rootless Water!”
“Ice Spring Domain, Freeze!”
Chen Heyan’s pupils contracted, and the Immortal Yuan Power in his Dantian burst out like a tidal wave, forcibly blocking the enormous thunder dragon, his figure flickering to appear a hundred meters away.
“Phew!”
A large mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, dyeing the sea red. He had just failed to dodge entirely and was scraped by the thunder dragon. That mere scrape allowed the violent thunder to penetrate his body instantly and wreak havoc in his meridians, causing his internal energy to surge turbulently and resulting in him spitting out blood, his breath becoming feeble.
The look in his eyes towards Godzilla became increasingly filled with fear and awe. After fighting for such a long time, this Steel Behemoth was completely unscathed, while his own condition was gradually worsening. Now having suffered internal injuries, in a battle of this level, a slight flaw was enough to be fatal—let alone facing such a monstrous opponent.
He had realized that fighting this Demonic Beast meant that the opponent could afford countless mistakes, but he could only afford one, and that one mistake might directly lead to his demise.
“This monster is quite difficult to deal with. The priority now should be to promptly report the situation here to the sect, the success or failure does not matter much in the grand scheme. This creature is truly powerful, and only the Sect Leader himself can suppress it.”
“Young fellow, you really know how to play the game. I will remember you. Next time we meet, I will make you weep and kneel in front of the ancestral shrine to admit your wrongs!” Chen Heyan swallowed a handful of Elixirs grimly and said coldly. For a Half-Saint Strong Expert, fleeing was undoubtedly a disgrace, especially in front of such a junior cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. If this were known, he would become a laughingstock among the cultivators in the future.
“Thinking of running?”
“I’ve already prepared for you. There’s nowhere for you to escape!”
Li Xiaobai looked indifferent, as if everything had been anticipated. With a flick of his wrist, he took out an ordinary-looking fire poker and threw it at Godzilla.
Swoosh!
A golden talisman flashed by on the fire poker, causing the talisman in Chen Heyan’s hand to become ineffective, and the teleportation talisman did not allow him to move an inch.
“The void is locked; it’s because of that stick!”
“What kind of Magic Treasure is this that even dares to lock the void of my Half-Saint Level?”
Chen Heyan had lost count of how many times he had been shocked. He should know that his domain had not yet dispersed. At this moment, he was still within his own domain, having an absolute home ground advantage. Logically, using a teleportation talisman under such circumstances should not have locked the void.
But this person indeed did it, and most crucially, the opponent was still only a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator. The problem lay in that unremarkable-looking stick—which possessed mysterious power.
“This object is called the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Perhaps Godzilla at Half-Saint Realm would need to exert some effort to kill you, but with this item’s help, killing you is as easy as reaching into a bag.”
Li Xiaobai spoke slowly. He had made his final decision, begrudgingly paid a billion to exchange from the store for this Sea-Calming Divine Needle, whose power could rival that of the Half-Saint Realm.
[Sea-Calming Divine Needle (Divine Artifact): A measuring stick for the depths of the ocean, appears like an ordinary fire poker, its power rivals a peak strike of Half-Saint Cultivation Level (Price: one billion top-grade Immortal Stones).]
[Shatter the Skies (swing a thousand times to activate).]
[Havoc in Heaven (swing five thousand times to activate).]
[Battle-Victorious Buddha (swing ten thousand times to activate).]
[I Shall Seal the Heavens (swing a hundred thousand times to activate).]
This was the Half-Saint Level Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Compared to the Sea-Calming Divine Needle used on the Immortal Spirit Continent, it had several more skills. Each realm experienced among the three Immortal Realms would add a skill to the Sea-Calming Divine Needle. Now directly purchasing at Half-Saint Level, the Divine Artifact skills had also skyrocketed to four.
Like Godzilla, the Divine Artifact could only be possessed for two hours, during which you could swing it to your heart’s content. The characteristic of the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was that the more it was swung, the more extraordinary it would reveal itself to be, and it would also become stronger.
The last skill, “I Shall Seal the Heavens,” required one hundred thousand swings to activate, which would probably exhaust Li Xiaobai, but for Godzilla, swinging it a hundred thousand times was like child’s play.
If among the Divine Artifacts in the store, Godzilla was the strongest defender, then the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was undoubtedly the strongest offensive measure, allowing the beefiest tank to hold the sharpest spear, the power of which would be unimaginable.
“Roar!”
Godzilla seemed to understand that Li Xiaobai had given it a Divine Artifact. Treating it as a priceless treasure, in its short stubby claws, the Sea-Calming Divine Needle was the size of a toothpick. After several continuous swings, a golden gleam burst forth, surging with the wind and transforming into a thick club that perfectly matched Godzilla’s size.
“Can it even grow bigger? What kind of treasure is this!”
Elder Chen, watching this scene, grudgingly pulled out a few more talismans. After activating them, still, nothing happened; the club did not reveal many anomalies, yet this space was silently sealed tight, not even a Half-Saint could teleport.
“What kind of fortune allowed an ordinary Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator to become a high-level expert of this caliber? To have Half-Saint Demonic Beasts for protection is one thing, but to be able to produce Half-Saint Level Magic Treasures is just arming to the teeth.”
“With these two things, even if the third master dies, the Sect Leader wouldn’t blame me too much. No, by killing the third master, everything he owns will be mine. Why return to the Icy Frost Sect? I should find a place to delve deep into my studies; perhaps when I come out, the world will have one more Saint Realm expert!”
With a fierce gleam flashing in his eyes, Elder Chen made a decision. The resources and background revealed by the third master were enough to firm up his resolve to kill.
Since the way back was cut off, he had only one path left, which was to slaughter Li Xiaobai. Once the master was killed, the Demonic Beast, having no owner, would no longer obey commands.
“Ice Spring Domain!”
“Polar Inversion!”
“Icy Spike!”
Elder Chen swallowed several elixirs, his eyes turning a vivid red as he went into a frenzy. The roaring waves at sea turned into an ice sculpture, using the old trick of Thousand-Mile Frost to trap Godzilla at the center of the sea. Then his hands frosted over into spikes, and with a few leaps, he nearly reached Li Xiaobai, stabbing with an ice-blue spike that turned blood-red, aiming directly for Li Xiaobai’s throat.
“Young master, you can die now!”
Excitement glinted in Elder Chen’s eyes.
However, Li Xiaobai’s next move puzzled and confused him, as he calmly pulled out a small, broken bowl from his bosom. The bowl’s mouth faced the icy spike, and a white light flashed, suddenly ejecting two figures, who collided face-to-face with Elder Chen.
“Fuck! The eldest young master, the second young master!”
“You despicable brat!”
“Splat!”
Elder Chen screamed in shock. Being too close, he couldn’t react in time, and without the ability to retract his hand, the icy spike skewered the necks of the two men in one go.
Han Dezhu died instantly, while Han Buxia’s eyes bulged, staring fixedly at Elder Chen as blood spurted from his mouth, his lips quivering.
“Elder Chen! I…I bought a watch last year!”
