Xian'er was surprised, "What level of magic artifact is this? It can even block a first rank ninth level single-target Thunderbolt Talisman."

The attacked monster was even more surprised.

It was a crab, its molted shell forged into this shield, usually wielding it to roam freely, and even when facing an opponent it couldn't defeat, it wouldn't lose.

Unexpectedly, today, a hole was punched through by a talisman from someone in the Qi Refinement Realm, leaving it both astonished and distressed.

"Great King! Please activate the array! Flood these Fire Spirits!" it shouted.

In the distance, the battlefield between Shui Zhongyue and the Great King of Numinous Power occupied most of the hold space.

Any other monster daring to step in was either cleaved by the invisible edge of the Trident or shattered by the Water Dragon.

The Great King of Numinous Power was being driven back by one strike after another from Shui Zhongyue, but supported by the profound magical power of the Golden Core Stage, there was no sign of defeat for the moment.

Upon hearing the crab monster's reminder, he took a deep breath and wielded the Trident, temporarily forcing Shui Zhongyue back.

The Trident shot into the sky, with an array appearing at the point of impact, resembling the array plate of a completed Light Gate.

"Open!"

The Great King of Numinous Power's arms became robust, twisting the Trident as if turning a key.

Shui Zhonghua shouted, "Great King of Num..."

Shui Zhongyue's eyes flashed, her hands clasped in front of her abdomen, tender lips opening to exhale a trace of moonlight.

Sizzle!

The moonlight rolled, like flames.

"Ah!!" The Great King of Numinous Power screamed in agony, his mind almost shattered.

"Tai...yin...moon...fire!" The Great King of Numinous Power enunciated each word, enveloped in pain and disbelief.

The cold white flames wrapped around the Great King of Numinous Power, without a scratch on his body, yet his Golden Core was disintegrating!

Shui Zhonghua called out, "You, little wretch, prepare to die and remember, the one who killed you is my sister Shui Zhongyue, who surpassed the Dragon Gate to defeat a Golden Core with Foundation Establishment, destined to ascend as an immortal old monster!"

Shui Zhongyue's face was pale, the Taiyin Moon Fire was too powerful, this strike consumed nearly all her mana.

But it was enough, a mere Golden Core Stage, struck by the Taiyin Moon Fire, was surely doomed.

"Xian'er, go!" she shouted, as the lotus pedestal slowly closed beneath her.

The flood surged in, the Fire Spirits flailing in agony as they dissolved like snow, and so did the Great King of Numinous Power.

The Taiyin Moon Fire invaded his body, causing his mana and life force to drain rapidly.

He descended into madness.

"I—want—your—life!"

The Great King of Numinous Power reverted to his true form, an enormous dragon-whiskered carp occupying half the hold space.

The dragon-whiskered carp rammed head-first, a thunderous explosion echoed, and the flying boat was punctured from the first to the eighteenth layer.

This hole seemed like the atrium of the ship.

The monsters and spirits aboard the flying boat fled in disarray, neither monster nor spirit dared to linger.

Before the Great King of Numinous Power could unleash his rage, Shui Zhongyue had already escaped, unfortunately not far enough, still on the tenth level, she was hurled high by the collision.

The dragon-whiskered carp's gaze followed, but Shui Zhongyue was nowhere to be seen.

A white snake with silver cold, dazzling scales was suspended in midair.

To call it a snake was not quite accurate, for its triangular head had already grown two small dragon horns.

The white snake, fifty meters long, coiled in the water, resembled a wisp of white smoke.

The dragon-whiskered carp's mana realm plummeted due to the Taiyin Moon Fire's burning, its once gigantic size was now remarkably similar to the white snake's.

"Hiss!!" The white snake roared furiously at the ground, its neck suddenly expanding outward.

It appeared both terrifyingly eerie yet imposing and divine.

A sharp screech, like a bell, radiated from the snake's mouth, engulfing the dragon-whiskered carp.

The dragon-whiskered carp leaped violently, the rippling waves surged in all directions, dissipating even the sound wave from the snake's mouth.

The white snake lashed its tail, a water dragon whistling as it lunged forward.

The dragon-whiskered carp shattered it with a head-butt, then rocketed towards the white snake like a cannonball.

Boom!

Even underwater, the tremendous crash was audible.

Xian'er, wielding a branch, was hiding afar under Li Changzhou's protection, witnessing the Great King of Numinous Power clash upon the white snake.

The enormous snake body spurted countless fresh blood, the snake scales on its body seemed to turn into flying needles escaping.

"Senior Shui!" she shouted.

"It's not over yet," Li Changzhou said.

The white snake roared in pain towards the sky, its body entangled the dragon-whiskered carp tightly in rage and agony.

The dragon-whiskered carp also bit into the white snake's body.

Suddenly, the white snake lowered its head, its vertical pupils icy to the extreme.

It opened its mouth wide, starting to swallow this monster, far larger than its own mouth, beginning from the tail of the dragon-whiskered carp.

Xian'er watched, dumbstruck.

This scene to her was too wild, too primal!

The dragon-whiskered carp's body continuously shrank, yet Xian'er felt even if it hadn't, Shui Zhongyue could still swallow it whole.

The great battle subsided.

The Golden Core Stage dragon-whiskered carp was devoured, leaving only a slender, white-scaled large snake, with a distended belly, above the sinking flying boat.

The white-scaled large snake coiled once, disappeared, leaving Shui Zhongyue sitting cross-legged on the lotus pedestal, descending slowly.

Her abdomen flat, waist slender, her figure gracefully charming, possessing an ethereal aura, like a fairy from the moonlit lake water.

Yet Xian'er dared never to regard the other as merely a beauty again.

This was a man-eating beautiful snake!

Upon meeting, Shui Zhongyue said, "I miscalculated, I did not expect the desperate counterattack of a Golden Core to be so fierce, wasting a trace of Taiyin Moonlight to replenish spiritual power, and also not allowing you to escape in time, wasting an opportunity for the divine senior to intervene."

Xian'er didn't mind, instead she comforted, "Senior Shui, you taught me before, when faced with a truly hopeless situation, use every means available, staying alive is what matters."

Shui Zhongyue nodded, then smiled for the first time.
