Ling Zhenfei threw two punches at the water's surface, causing it to splash everywhere, but still eliciting no reaction; it was as if the monster had already fallen asleep.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei rushed toward the other side of the river, and just as he crossed the water, a long tentacle suddenly emerged from below, like the arm of an octopus, and wrapped toward him.

Ling Zhenfei had always thought that yesterday's big fish would bite him, but without any defense, his ankle was swiftly seized by the tentacle, its immense power pulling him inward.

If he got dragged underwater, that would be disastrous; who knew how many monsters lay beneath? He could immediately drop into the open mouth of a big fish lurking below.

Ling Zhenfei's heart screamed out, luckily, he was prepared earlier with Northern Spiritual Energy, and he punched the tentacle with his ready fist.

Boom!

Blood splattered, and the tentacle was instantly pulverized by Ling Zhenfei's strike.

The tentacle loosened, crashing back into the river, but suddenly a few water arrows shot toward Ling Zhenfei.

The water arrows were fierce indeed, filled with Spiritual Qi, no different from real arrows. Ling Zhenfei formed a powerful Spiritual Qi Wall around him to fend off their attack.

Though those water arrows couldn't pierce the Spiritual Qi Wall, they still pushed Ling Zhenfei backward.

Now, Ling Zhenfei was in the middle of the river, relying on Spiritual Qi to keep himself from falling.

But seeing the water arrows coming from all directions, Ling Zhenfei suddenly froze, realizing he had become a living target.

Suddenly, he felt the water below churn, and a gigantic monster burst forth, snapping at him.

This was a giant fish, incredibly large, especially its mouth which was as big as the fish's entire head. Ling Zhenfei, from above, could see rows and rows of teeth inside the fish's mouth, like a meat grinder.

Ling Zhenfei's heart cried out; being swallowed by this big fish would spell doom.

Using Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, Ling Zhenfei unleashed two powerful bursts of Northern Spiritual Energy at the big fish, while the energy propelled him upwards.

The Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists struck the big fish's mouth, the fish recoiled in pain, and the force pushing it upward was countered, causing it to crash heavily back into the water.

The water erupted into giant splashes, truly water everywhere.

Ling Zhenfei's heart screamed in surprise, not knowing how many monsters lurked in this river; with the water arrows vanished, joy filled his heart, and he quickly fueled his Spiritual Qi to take advantage and cross the river.

Suddenly, from beneath the water, more tentacle-like things emerged, but this time it was different—not one, but seven or eight tentacles, giving rise to chaos.

Seven or eight tentacles rushed at Ling Zhenfei, wrapping around him.

The urgency Ling Zhenfei felt was indescribable; he felt like his entire body was entangled, the tentacles exerting immense pressure, threatening to crush his bones.

Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to do; suddenly he felt the tentacles pull him down, dropping him into the water.

Startled, Ling Zhenfei opened his eyes underwater, almost shouting in shock at the multitude of monsters below.

There was the giant fish from before, octopuses with long tentacles, sharks with jagged mouths, and bizarre dinosaur-like creatures.

Various known and unknown creatures, all present in this water; this time Ling Zhenfei was dragged by a massive octopus. Looking around, there were several more similar octopuses below.

At this point, several big fish were already swimming toward Ling Zhenfei too, seemingly wanting a share of the spoils.

Ling Zhenfei was deeply stunned; staying underwater meant certain death. Thinking of this, he quickly condensed some Northern Spiritual Energy in his hand, then used Sky Piercing Finger to jab a wrapped tentacle.

Poof!

The tentacle was severed by Ling Zhenfei's Sky Piercing Finger, causing the octopus underwater pain, flailing its tentacles and releasing Ling Zhenfei.

Just released, the big-mouthed fish charged at Ling Zhenfei.

Knowing he couldn't linger here, Ling Zhenfei thrust his feet with immense Spiritual Qi, strafed the water, and leapt upward, but following him was that big fish.

Its mouth agape, it trailed behind Ling Zhenfei, its body many times larger, easily enough to swallow Ling Zhenfei whole.

Ling Zhenfei's heart cried out, the fourth punch of Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists landed on the big fish's mouth, knocking out some teeth and slamming the fish onto the water's surface.

With a boom, the big fish splashed water again, allowing Ling Zhenfei to seize the chance to fly back to the riverbank.

Returning to the bank once more, the river calmed down, looking within the river, it was hard to discern what lay beneath.

Only Ling Zhenfei knew how terrifying the creatures inside were.

Ling Zhenfei was somewhat stunned; those monsters were incredibly strong, almost unbeatable. One monster was manageable, but a horde was impossible.

Looking at the river just tens of meters across, it now formed an insurmountable chasm for Ling Zhenfei.

After trying everything, Ling Zhenfei found no way across the river; with monsters underwater attacking relentlessly, Ling Zhenfei struggled.

Until night fell, darkness covered Ling Zhenfei's attempts to cross, until he thought of a solution—to fly higher, up to the highest point.

The river's monsters could attack skyward, but not join him up there.

Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei soared upward, unable to truly fly, had to Transforming Qi into Substance, moving gradually skyward, but then felt something amiss.

Flying higher, Ling Zhenfei felt the pressure increase, like pushing against fluffy clouds. Worried, Ling Zhenfei applied maximum Spiritual Qi but found himself unable to proceed.

Alarmed, Ling Zhenfei realized he had reached the end of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Sky.

The end was unexpectedly low, surprising Ling Zhenfei.

Looking downward, he realized he was high enough from the river, twice as high compared to when attacked by octopus earlier.

Ling Zhenfei looked into the distance and could even see a tiny house lit by starlight, where the Peach Blossom Fairy resided.
