Recruit demons to become heroes, hunt demons to become gods

Chapter 255 Making a Deal with the Spirit Mother, Battle Against the Mad Shark
When Dou Eqing found Yu Youmei in the core area of ​​the Fishman Island underground palace, he told her about his search for the Fishman Clan to help him find the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

Yu Youmei immediately offered him her terms:

"I can help you find the Human-Faced Spirit Mother and seize the Spirit Pill, but you must help my clan train three Void Refinement Realm experts before you can leave!"

"But my body is now exhausted, and I can no longer use my pure yang body to increase the female cultivator's cultivation speed."

Dou Eqing told the truth.

In fact, if he had used his status as the chieftain of the merfolk to issue orders bypassing Yu Youmei, he wouldn't have had to pay the price.

Unfortunately, he ultimately forgot that he was also the chieftain of the merfolk.

"Then wouldn't I have let you sleep with me for nothing!"

Yu Youmei suddenly stood up and said to Dou Eqing.

"Forehead?"

Dou Eqing thought for a moment before realizing that Yu Youmei had no romantic feelings for him; she only wanted to use his pure yang body to improve her cultivation and break through her bottleneck.

His identity as the patriarch of the merfolk was not enough to make Yu Youmei surrender her chastity.

"Perhaps I'll be able to recover once I break through to the Void Refinement Realm."

Dou Eqing quickly offered an explanation.

"I hope."

Yu Youmei then stopped mentioning the condition of cultivating three members of the clan at the Refinement of Void Realm, and let Dou Eqing issue the task himself as the clan leader.

After all, Dou Eqing's recovery was related to Yu Youmei's own cultivation.

Although Yu Youmei is currently the strongest member of the Fish-Man race, she is not the leader of the race and prioritizes her own interests.

If it doesn't involve a conflict of interest with her own, she is certainly willing to fight for the interests of her tribe.

Since it conflicts with her own interests, she has to make a choice.

Despite the risk of falling from his cultivation level, Dou Eqing might be able to help one or two members of the Fishman race break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

However, this will greatly affect Dou Eqing's cultivation, and it's unknown how long it will take for him to reach the Refining Void Realm.

This is equivalent to slowing down Yu Youmei's cultivation speed.

Dou Eqing only realized this after Yu Youmei reminded him, and then he remembered that he could exercise the authority of the fish-man clan chief.

With the help of the fish-men who were familiar with the Void Sea, they found a lone human-faced spirit mother in just six months.

Originally, they found two human-faced spirit mothers within a month, but Dou Eqing felt that their cultivation level was too low, only at the fourth level, which was insufficient to meet the requirements for refining the medicine needed to heal Ye Na.

This lone spirit mother is already at the sixth level, and her spirit pills are perfect for refining a sixth-level Spirit Gathering Pill to save Yena.

So they began a hunt for this spirit mother.

This spirit mother was an outcast in the group because her head was vastly different from the other spirit mothers, possessing a huge, human-like face. As a result, she was ostracized and left the group.

In the Spirit Mother race, she is known as the Human-Faced Monster.

Initially, the only group surrounding the Hunter-faced Spirit Mother consisted of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator from the Fish-man Clan, along with Shi Liyuqiu and Zhou Yutong.

There are a total of fifteen Nascent Soul fishmen, but only one-fifth of them have reached the late Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, the Murloc team can only play a supporting role and has limited impact on this hunt.

Hunting the Spirit Mother at a depth of 2,000 meters in the Void Sea, the battlefield is its home ground.

The Human-Faced Spirit Mother has a geographical advantage here, giving her the home advantage.

The underwater environment is complex and ever-changing. Faint fluorescent lights shimmer in the dark depths, as if countless stars have fallen into the abyss.

This sixth-tier human-faced spirit mother swam freely in this deep sea. Its tentacles swayed gently in the water, emitting a faint, eerie light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky.

The surrounding sea creatures held it in great awe, avoiding its territory and daring not to approach.

The human-faced spirit mother has extremely keen senses; no slightest movement can escape its notice. Its enormous body moves among the rocks on the seabed, like a king who controls everything.

Dou Eqing and her group deliberately ambushed it on its foraging route, keeping it as far away from its most familiar environment as possible.

The chosen ambush point was the Plain of Dry Bones on the seabed of the Ruins Sea.

This makes it difficult for the spirit mother to take advantage of the terrain.

Dou Eqing was unwilling to risk his life, so he hid in the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to witness the hunting battle as an observer.

Deep in the ocean, fifteen fish-men who had transformed into fish-men sea creatures, along with Shi Liyuqiu and Zhou Yutong, were fiercely attacking a sixth-tier human-faced spirit mother.

The human-faced spirit mother has a huge body, measuring a thousand meters in length, with each tentacle reaching two thousand meters in length, and her entire body is covered in thick, rough skin.

Occupying the home ground advantage on the seabed, it fought against many enemies, transforming into a vast expanse of water, a raging storm that swept towards them.

Shi Liyu smiled proudly, formed a hand seal, and his whole body radiated a vast and incomparably holy light, instantly becoming a sacred and majestic being.

She descended above the Human-Faced Spirit Mother, pressing down with overwhelming force, like an unparalleled mountain attempting to suppress the Human-Faced Spirit Mother at the bottom of the sea.

Zhou Yutong arrived gracefully, holding a purple-gold shimmering divine hammer. Her body was enveloped in purple aura, making her appear like an incomparably noble fairy descending from the seabed.

She wielded the Purple Lightning Divine Hammer, her hammering technique seemingly unaffected by the pressure of the deep sea, its power boundless, overwhelming even the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

Fifteen fish-men cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage formed a tight formation, their supernatural powers overwhelming.

They wielded waves of attacks that spread uncontrollably towards the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

However, the powerful energy emanating from the human-faced spirit mother acted as an invisible barrier, blocking the attacks of the fifteen merman cultivators to no avail.

The human-faced spirit mother looked down at the crowd with the expression of a deep sea queen, appearing extremely majestic and inviolable.

Upon seeing this, Shi Liyuqiu and Zhou Yutong frowned slightly, and they both unleashed their strongest divine abilities at the Refinement Void Realm.

Suddenly, Shi Liyuqiu unleashed unparalleled divine power, his Dao body transforming into a colossal Dharma tower that imprisoned the Human-Faced Spirit Mother within it. The power of the Void Refinement Realm made the Human-Faced Spirit Mother feel incredibly heavy.

Her Dharma Tower is not a true Dharma Form, but a minor supernatural power similar to a Dharma Form.

Zhou Yutong's Purple Lightning Divine Hammer technique gradually condensed into a huge, flawless divine unicorn, its power like thunder, launching a fierce attack on the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

The enormous Qilin transformed into lightning, tearing apart the seawater and biting at the human-faced spirit mother's body like a dragon, causing her immense damage.

However, despite the unparalleled divine power of Shi Liyuqiu and Zhou Yutong, their attacks could not completely suppress the sixth-tier human-faced spirit mother who held the home-field advantage in the sea.

The human-faced spirit mother continuously released a vast aura, and even the slightest movement could shake the entire seabed, making people tremble with fear.

However, this human-faced spirit mother, possessing exceptional wisdom, gradually shifted her focus of attack to the fish-men at the Nascent Soul stage.

Before long, one merman was strangled by the tentacles of the human-faced spirit mother, and many more were injured.

Therefore, Shi Li Yuqiu hurriedly ordered all the fishmen to withdraw from the battle, but was entangled by the human-faced spirit mother.

Thus, the roles of offense and defense in this battle were reversed.

Half a day later, the battle ended in failure, as two more fishmen were killed and the rest were seriously injured. Shi Liyuqiu and Zhou Yutong had no choice but to leave with regret.

Because they were terrified that more merfolk would die in battle.

The human-faced spirit mother was basking in her home-field advantage in the ocean, smug and with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

However, a day later, they found the human-faced spirit mother again.

This time, there were no Nascent Soul Realm fishmen; only Yu Youmei was brought along.

The reason the three women found the Human-Faced Spirit Mother so quickly was not in its lair, but on its way after it escaped from a sixth-tier demonic shark.

This is all because of the marks left by Dou Eqing.

During that great battle, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother killed two Nascent Soul Realm fishmen, but failed to clean up the bloody smell from the battle in time, which attracted the demon shark.

Dou Eqing did not leave with Zhou Yutong and the others, but instead left the water in the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to fall on the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

Therefore, Lingmu's every move was under Dou Eqing's watchful eye.

Zhou Yutong and two other cultivators at the Void Refinement Realm blocked the way for the Human-Faced Spirit Mother, but the Human-Faced Spirit Mother was in a hurry to escape and had no intention of fighting the three.

This led them to believe that the Human-Faced Spirit Mother was afraid that the three of them were stronger than her.

In fact, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother had only temporarily escaped the predation of the sixth-tier demon shark, fearing that if she lingered here, the sixth-tier demon shark would catch up again.

Seeing that the Human-Faced Spirit Mother was avoiding battle and eager to escape, Dou Eqing quickly understood the real reason behind it.

"I remember the Spirit Mother can offer up her own elixir, and it seems that she can maintain her current cultivation level simply by transforming into human form. Perhaps we can try to obtain the Spirit Mother's elixir. Besides, that mid-stage peak sixth-tier demonic shark not only threatened the Spirit Mother's safety, but it would also be in great danger for Zhou Yutong and the other two if they encountered it..."

He was thinking in his mind.

"It seems we can make a deal with the Spirit Mother."

Thinking of this, Dou Eqing activated the Xuanmo Saint Armor and came out of the Ziwei Immortal Mansion.

His appearance startled both of them.

Zhou Yutong and the others were worried about his safety, while the Spirit Mother, because of his sudden appearance, thought he was a human powerhouse even stronger than herself.

Upon discovering that Dou Eqing only possessed the cultivation level of the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, the thousand-meter-long tentacles immediately twisted and turned as nimbly as snakes, quickly and precisely coiling around Dou Eqing.

If it weren't for the Xuanmo Saint Armor, Dou Eqing's body might have been instantly shredded into a pile of minced meat, and it's hard to say whether his primordial spirit could have escaped.

Even though his life was not in immediate danger, Dou Eqing still felt immense pressure.

After all, activating the Xuanmo Sacred Armor to resist the strangling power of the tentacles was a huge burden on him.

He quickly said to the Human-Faced Spirit Mother:
“Senior Spirit Mother, we have no hostility towards you, we just want to exchange a treasure with you.”

At the same time, Zhou Yutong and the other two nervously demanded that the Human-Faced Spirit Mother immediately release Dou Eqingqing.

They stared anxiously at the distorted face of the Human-Faced Spirit Mother, as if they could feel the power that was about to strangle Dou Eqing in the air.

Zhou Yutong's voice trembled, and her eyes flashed with unease, while the other two were poised to unleash their strongest attacks to rescue Dou Eqing.

A tense atmosphere filled the air, as if the surrounding cold seawater were heating up.

The Human-Faced Spirit Mother was very curious. On the one hand, she was curious that Dou Eqing, who was only at the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, could withstand her tentacles' strangulation; on the other hand, she was curious about Dou Eqing's so-called deal.

After Dou Eqing became a hostage in the hands of the Human-Faced Spirit Mother, it noticed a change in the attitudes of Shi, Li, Yu, and Qiu, and speculated that they valued Dou Eqing highly.

Therefore, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother temporarily set aside the matter of the demon shark's pursuit and used her divine sense to ask Dou Eqing:

"What deal?"

"To help you escape from suffering."

Dou Eqing said it casually.

"Ok?"

Dissatisfied with Dou Eqing's suspenseful way of communicating, the human-faced creature snorted coldly and then tightened its grip on Dou Eqing's tentacles.

"Don't rush, please let me explain slowly..."

"I didn't waste my time listening to your nonsense!"

"Okay, I'll make this short..."

Thus, Dou Eqing revealed his purpose in the simplest of words.

He initially offered her a fifth-tier Heavenly Origin Liquid and helped her transform into human form in exchange for her elixir, but the Human-Faced Spirit Mother showed no interest in treasures that were only fifth-tier.

Dou Eqing had no choice but to suggest that they join forces to ambush the mid-stage sixth-tier demon shark, and afterwards exchange the spoils from the demon shark for the Spirit Mother's elixir.
"You can't even defeat me, so going after Mad Shark will only lead to your deaths!"

Although the Human-Faced Spirit Mother also wanted to deal with the demon shark that had previously chased her, she did not have high hopes for Dou Eqing and the others' strength.

It called the demonic shark that had chased it the Mad Shark because that demonic shark was unusually ferocious when chasing its prey and was the top predator in the Void Sea area.

Its movements are swift and fierce, and each prey it chooses has little chance of escaping.

The Mad Shark is a bit different from other monsters, perhaps due to mutation. Its body is covered with hard scales that other monster sharks don't have. In the deep sea, its scales emit a dazzling light, causing other sea creatures to flee immediately upon seeing them.

"Even if we're sent to our deaths, you won't want to suffer any losses, will you?"

Dou Eqing asked back.

Under his persuasive tongue, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother gradually agreed to make a deal with Dou Eqing.

As the two sides began to swear an oath, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother considered that she had to trade away her elixir. This was a choice with no turning back, which made her hesitate a bit.

Dou Eqing quickly signaled to Yu Youmei to reveal to the Human-Faced Spirit Mother the secret that his Pure Yang Dao Body could help female cultivators quickly improve their cultivation.

Yu Youmei hesitated for a moment before agreeing and immediately communicated with the Human-Faced Spirit Mother via telepathy.

“Fellow Daoist, for the sake of our shared sea race, I will reveal a secret about that kid to you.”

"You would be so kind? I killed two of your Nascent Soul cultivators before."

The human-faced spirit mother replied to Yu Youmei with a wary tone.

"Times have changed. As the saying goes, 'No fight, no friendship.' If you join us, we'll be family. You're a Void Refinement Realm expert; you're worth at least ten or eight clansmen, aren't you?"

“That makes sense.” After figuring it out, the Human-Faced Spirit Mother immediately added another condition to Dou Eqing’s request.

Thus, the deal was finally reached on the condition that Dou Eqing would help the Human Face Spirit Mother cultivate in the future.

Since Dou Eqing has compromised, the conditions for hunting the Mad Shark can be changed.

The compromise is that if they are no match for the Mad Shark, they don't need to kill it. They only need to surround and injure it, which can be considered revenge for the Human-Faced Spirit Mother being chased by the Mad Shark in the past, and also fulfill the terms of the deal.

So, led by the human-faced spirit mother, they retraced their steps to find the mad shark.

At the same time, they also used the blood of monsters to lure the mad shark, making it come to them on its own initiative.

Persistence pays off; they met up with the mad shark a short while later.

The Mad Shark is over 1,300 meters long, with a pair of dark gold vertical pupils that are as cold as quenched black iron. Its sharp snout is like that of a swordfish, and the gill patterns behind its ears exude a scarlet demonic aura.

Golden scales crisscrossed over its streamlined body, each scale transforming into something resembling dragon scales, making it look like one.

Therefore, from the perspective of a cultivator, the overall appearance of the Mad Shark appears quite bizarre.

With such a long body, it looks like a moving mountain on the seabed from a distance, its scales shimmering as if it were wearing a golden suit of armor.

Its head is broad, its jaws are fierce, and its sharp fangs are like swords drawn from their sheaths, gleaming with a cold light.

When a shark swims on the seabed, every swing of its powerful tail fin can stir up towering waves, churn the surrounding seawater, create whirlpools, and cause sea creatures to scatter in panic.

However, its massive body is exceptionally agile underwater, like a master dancer moving among the clouds. Every turn and leap is accompanied by an elegant arc, and the seawater moves around it.

Judging from the lines on his forehead, Zhou Yutong and the others knew that Kuang Sha was not only in the mid-stage of the sixth rank, but also not far from advancing to the late stage of the sixth rank.

This made the three women somewhat hesitant.

Fortunately, Dou Eqing had already hidden himself in the Purple Star Immortal Abode.

Otherwise, one would also be terrified by the overwhelming power emanating from the mad shark.

The human-faced spirit mother seemed to sense the three women's fear of battle and took the initiative to attack the mad shark.

So, Shi Liyuqiu, Zhou Yutong, and Yu Youmei faced the thousand-meter-long demonic shark, and they began to exude an aura of majesty as a declaration of war against the demonic shark.

The human-faced spirit mother controlled thirty-two tentacles, each a kilometer long, and attacked the mad shark with lightning speed.

The immense pressure of the deep sea seemed to have no effect on the creature's tentacles, which swung nimbly in the dark depths as if swimming freely in a weightless environment.

Their surfaces are smooth and covered with a layer of slightly luminous mucus that shimmers with a faint blue light in the dim light, giving them a mysterious and elusive feel.

These tentacles, like black snake shadows, drew eerie arcs on the seabed, carrying a chilling aura and a suffocating pressure.

Each tentacle shimmered with a faint blue light, as if it contained boundless energy, capable of tearing an opponent apart instantly upon contact.

The giant shark moves with remarkable agility on the seabed; its smooth, black body shimmers faintly in the dark depths, like a shooting star in the night sky.

It first dodged the fierce attack of twenty-three of the human-faced spirit mother's tentacles.

Then, the shark suddenly swung its massive tail, the powerful force causing seawater to splash everywhere with a deafening sound. The tail precisely struck the other nine tentacles, and the shockwave generated by the collision spread out in the water, creating layers of splashes, like a spectacular underwater fireworks display.

On the other side, Zhou Yutong wielded the Purple Lightning Hammer, its body crackling with purple arcs of electricity, like lightning slicing through the night sky, accompanied by a thunderous roar.

Her movements were swift and precise, each strike carrying the force of thunder. Combined with Shi Liyuqiu's magical attacks, they unleashed unparalleled power like lightning.

Shi Liyuqiu's magic was like a dazzling firework in the dark seabed, blooming with brilliant light in the seawater, complementing Zhou Yutong's divine hammer perfectly.

The combined force of the two, almost simultaneously with the nine tentacles of the human-faced spirit mother, struck the back of the mad shark. The enormous impact caused the mad shark to writhe in agony, creating huge splashes of water on the seabed.

Yu Youmei transforms into a gigantic mermaid, manipulating seawater to attack the shark demon.

Her attack was as fierce as a tidal wave, halting the shark demon's movements. The seawater surged, like giant waves rolling, trying to trap the shark demon within.

Their teamwork became increasingly seamless, and in the process of moving from unfamiliarity to tacit understanding, they gradually gained the upper hand.

Their movements were as swift as lightning, and each attack brought tremendous power.

Shi Liyuqiu's magical attacks shone with a mysterious light, Zhou Yutong's Purple Lightning Hammer brought up a powerful water tornado, and Yu Youmei's seawater attacks were like sharp swords.

The extraordinary battle in the ocean is raging fiercely and exceptionally intense.

The power and wisdom of Shi Liyuqiu, Zhou Yutong, and Yu Youmei were greatly enhanced in this battle.

They continuously unleashed amazing moves, leaving scars on the mad shark.

Their moves gradually became fluid and graceful, full of power and skill, each one precise and landing perfectly on the shark.

The shark demon struggled to resist, but its resistance became increasingly futile under the powerful forces of Shi Liyuqiu, Zhou Yutong, and Yu Youmei.

Of course, the greatest threat to the Mad Shark is the Human-Faced Spirit Mother.

The human-faced spirit mother's kilometer-long tentacles are not only fast-attacking and powerfully strangling, but they are also covered with suckers. These suckers are like countless gaping maws with extremely strong suction power.

Each suction cup gleamed with an eerie light, as if greedily searching for prey.

Now, the Mad Shark is covered in wounds and blood. The Human-Faced Spirit Mother can use her tentacles to wrap around the Mad Shark and, given enough time, may be able to completely drain the Mad Shark of its blood.

For the vast majority of living beings, blood is a vital component of their life.

The bright red liquid flowed through his body like a river of life, nourishing every cell and organ.

If it loses a lot of blood, it will not only weaken its fighting ability, muscle weakness, and slow reaction, but it can also threaten its life.

The faster the blood is lost, the easier it is for the life force of a living being to be extinguished, eventually plunging it into endless darkness.

Although thirteen of the thirty-two kilometer-long tentacles of the Human-Faced Spirit Mother were bitten off by the Mad Shark during the fierce battle, the remaining nineteen still displayed a destructive power that the Mad Shark greatly feared.

Their fight was so intense that even Dou Eqing, an observer, felt terrified and in awe.

The battlefield affected an area spanning seven hundred miles along the seabed, causing collateral damage to many other marine creatures.

The enormous explosion echoed through the deep sea, deafeningly loud, and the seawater churned violently, splashing up countless droplets.

The underwater mountains were destroyed, and the colorful fish demons and shell monsters had nowhere to escape. Some were blown to pieces, while others were swept into whirlpools and disappeared into the dark abyss.

The turtle demon and sea serpent demon, who were originally swimming leisurely in the seaweed, were also frightened and fled in all directions, creating chaos.

As the battle continued, the Shark became increasingly frenzied.

Especially when the human-faced spirit mother's tentacles posed an increasing threat to it, the mad shark acted as if a cultivator was "desperate and jumped over the wall" when his life was threatened.

However, Zhou Yutong and the other two women, caught up in the battle, were oblivious to the fact that only Dou Eqing, an observer, noticed this.

However, Dou Eqing himself was only at the Nascent Soul stage and could not lend a hand, so he could only think of other ways.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.

As he absorbed the blood of the mad shark from the tentacles of the human-faced spirit mother, he suddenly realized that his White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, when combined with his [Devouring Heaven Demon Art], had a similar effect.

The Purple Star Immortal Abode was originally housed by the Human-Faced Spirit Mother, and if Dou Eqing did not emerge, he would find it difficult to move.

So, when the Human-Faced Spirit Mother was almost bitten in the head by the mad shark's sharp teeth, Dou Eqing actually took the initiative to walk out of the Ziwei Immortal Mansion. His eyes were firm, as if he had already made up his mind.

He deliberately offered no resistance, letting the enormous suction force from that gaping maw pull his body away.

With no one else reacting, the mad shark finally swallowed Dou Eqing whole into its massive jaws.

The time was far too short for Dou Eqing to explain his intentions to the others before his figure disappeared into the gaping maw of the mad shark and into its belly.

Dou Eqing had just brushed past the mad shark's sharp teeth when he was instantly surrounded by the shark's icy stomach acid, feeling a chill that went straight to his bones.

He hurriedly hid in the Purple Star Immortal Abode, knowing full well that once the Mad Shark controlled his stomach acid, it would release corrosive toxins that would be enough to completely destroy him.

Therefore, he must quickly find safe shelter to avoid this deadly crisis.

When Zhou Yutong and the other girls watched in bewilderment as Dou Eqing was swallowed by the mad shark, their first thought was to save him.

Their eyes were filled with terror and anger, as if the raging shark had devoured their very hearts.

The women's attacks intensified. They brandished their weapons and screamed, trying to make the shark vomit Dou Eqing out.

About fifteen minutes passed, and the battle outside grew increasingly fierce. Mad Shark had no time to care about Dou Eqing, who had been swallowed. He activated the Xuanmo Sacred Armor and emerged from the Ziwei Immortal Mansion to search for Mad Shark's heart inside its body.

Dou Eqing was inside the mad shark's body, and its heart was very easy to find.

That enormous heart was like a giant red engine, each beat accompanied by a strong tremor, as if you could feel the surge of blood and the pulse of life.

Because of the intensity of the battle, the mad shark's heart pounded like a war drum, the sound penetrating the surrounding muscles and bones, echoing throughout its body like a fierce symphony.

He followed the sound and gradually approached the shark's heart. With each step, he could feel the shark's body temperature rising and the bloody smell in its stomach growing stronger, as if he were in the center of a life-or-death struggle.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

He first detonated a fifth-grade high-level berserk rune that he had previously placed on the stomach wall of the mad shark in order to divert the shark's attention.

The Berserk Rune burst forth with dazzling light, scorching the shark's internal organs like flames. With a deafening roar, it opened a huge gap in the shark's stomach wall leading to its heart, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the shark's gastric juices red.

Dou Eqing quickly seized the opportunity, took out the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, the blade gleaming with a cold light, as if it contained endless power.

He took a deep breath and unleashed his ultimate technique of becoming one with the blade, merging his entire being with the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade, transforming into a bolt of lightning that pierced straight into the Mad Shark's enormous heart.

The blade pierced through flesh with a chilling sound, the shark struggled in agony, and the seawater churned violently, as if the entire ocean was trembling for this life-or-death battle.

The sudden reaction of the mad shark left Zhou Yutong and the other two girls extremely puzzled.

The Human-Faced Spirit Mother only began to suspect something when she sensed that the Mad Shark's life force was rapidly declining.

"That kid has two sons, and he actually dared to risk causing trouble inside the Mad Shark."

It transmitted its guesses to Zhou Yutong and the others.

The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade was stuck in the heart of the Mad Shark, and Dou Eqing was still in a state of perfect harmony with the blade.

At the same time, he immediately used the Devouring Dao of the [Devouring Demon Heavenly Art] to directly devour the life force of the Mad Shark and convert it into his own cultivation.

Because the Mad Shark not only reached the sixth rank, but also had such a huge body, its vitality was incomparable to that of a cultivator.

However, because Dou Eqing devoured the life force directly from the heart of the mad shark, not all of it was immediately converted into cultivation power, making it difficult for him to digest and giving him a feeling of wanting to explode.

This was only because the White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade retained a large portion of it; otherwise, Dou Eqing might have been "overeaten" by the Mad Shark's vitality.

This is something Dou Eqing failed to consider.

More importantly, he was now in a state of perfect harmony with his blade. The White Tiger Demon-Slaying Blade had pierced the Mad Shark's heart, and coupled with his Devouring Dao, he was unable to stop immediately.

Therefore, as the mad shark was devoured by him and gradually lost its ability to resist, Dou Eqing's body also became dangerous.

The danger lies in being overwhelmed by the shark's incredible vitality.

He had no choice but to release Xiao Yuzhu from the Ziwei Immortal Abode, tell her about his situation, and ask her to help him find a solution.

“Dou Lang, I’ve got an idea.”

As soon as Dou Eqing finished explaining his situation, Xiao Yuzhu came up with a solution.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she had already made up her mind.

However, Dou Eqing's condition became increasingly urgent. His face turned pale, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, and his breathing became rapid.

He was about to ask her what her solution was when the feeling of his body exploding came over him again, interrupting him.

He clenched his teeth in pain, his hands clenched into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, and blood slowly seeping out from between his fingers.

Xiao Yuzhu and Dou Eqing were of one mind and immediately understood his current physical condition.

A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but more so, there was determination and resolve.

She didn't say much, but gently held Dou Eqing's hand, feeling the coldness and trembling of his palm.

So, without further ado, she immediately performed the signature move of dual cultivation.

Her movements were skillful and gentle, as if she were performing a sacred ritual.

She slowly channeled her inner energy into Dou Eqing's body, the warm power flowing like a gentle stream, gradually permeating every cell of his body.

Dou Eqing felt this warm power, and his painful expression gradually eased, and his breathing slowly became steady.

It turned out that her solution was to use the dual cultivation secret method of the [Yu Yang Yin Jing] to relieve Dou Eqing's current predicament by absorbing his essence.

Thus, on this special occasion, the two embarked on a bizarre dual cultivation journey.

……

Their actions made the dying shark feel incredibly humiliated.

Therefore, the mad shark abandoned external attacks and focused solely on annihilating the two "shameless humans" inside its body.

"Damn it! I'd rather die than forgive you!"

The raging shark roared in the ocean, disregarding the fact that its gastric juices would also cause fatal damage to its own heart, it still controlled its gastric juices to attack Xiao Yuzhu and her lover who were cultivating together.

Just as the gastric juices were about to engulf the two of them, Xiao Yuzhu realized that she had overlooked their location.

The shark's gastric juices gave her a feeling that they could instantly kill her.
