Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!

"Junior sister..."

The glasses hunter wiped off a bead of cold sweat, unconsciously adjusting his glasses.

...

...

Dusk had fallen, and the coastline was shrouded in profound darkness.

It had been a full seven hours since the Shadow Tide Night began.

And still, the intense cannon fire at the seaside had not ceased.

A thousand cannons lined up, emitting one angry roar after another.

Flames illuminated the sea surface as explosions sounded consecutively, with dark waves assaulting wave after wave.

Under the bombardment of artillery fire, the shadow beasts charged, struggled, and roared. After seven continuous hours, their numbers hadn't decreased but more and more shadow beasts emerged from the sea.

As the cannons were damaged and resources depleted, the defensive line where the hunters stood had been pushed back a full kilometer.

The ocean trembled. The lighthouse to the east had collapsed, and the walls built had crumbled.

Hunters and pirates roared, struggling to maintain the last line of defense.

At the westernmost edge of the battle line, a huge wave surged, and a massive figure rose from the sea, heading straight for the lighthouse on the western side of the island. It was like a moving mountain, unstoppable!

Even though they were well aware, the hunters of Sea God Island were still exceedingly horrified.

"It's too big! Can we really stop it?"

The Shadow Mountain Beast, a creature akin to a yak but of enormous size, stood thirty meters tall. In its presence, dense crowds of humans seemed like tiny ants.

Boom! Boom! The incendiary rounds fired at the Shadow Mountain Beast, but they only managed to create small pits on the surface, failing to reach its innards.

The Shadow Mountain Beast's skin was covered with night scales tougher than steel, which even cannonballs struggled to penetrate.

This relentless bombardment enraged it. The Shadow Mountain Beast let out a bellow akin to that of a great bull, coiled up suddenly, increased its speed, and its massive body, like a giant meteor falling from the sky, rolled from the coast toward the insignificant lighthouse—

Mountain roll!!

Once the lighthouse on the western side was breached, the thousands of hunters on the entire western battle line would face the risk of collapse.

But the Hunter Group responsible for defending the western lighthouse was already battered and bruised. Faced with the constantly rising giant waves, they could only retreat, only to watch helplessly as the colossus drew nearer—

Boom boom boom—

The sound grew louder! The waves above the ocean grew bigger!

Boom!

Suddenly, the rolling of the Shadow Mountain Beast atop the sea halted—

Everyone was startled. In the darkness, they could only make out, with the help of the lanterns in the sky, a large number of tentacles rising from the sea surface, entangling the thirty-meter tall Shadow Mountain Beast!

But the disparity in strength was too vast. With the power of the Shadow Mountain Beast, it would only take a slight effort to break free from the tentacles' grasp.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

However, the next moment everyone was dumbfounded.

Abruptly, eight tentacles, each ten meters long, extended from the body of the Shadow Mountain Beast, gathering into fists and pounding down relentlessly!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One punch after another! These tentacles slammed down with hundreds of downward punches!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Under the continuous pounding, the massive Shadow Mountain was forcibly driven into the seabed, causing huge waves to crash onto the people.

And the people were once again stunned; they realized that these punch-like movements were not the strength of the tentacles—

These punches, full of Qi Power, were clearly the techniques of a Transcendent!!

Atop that massive Shadow Mountain, stood a blurry figure, the figure of a person—
