The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Beneath the deep, dark seabed, a breathtaking battle is unfolding.

The vast ocean seemed to hang upside down, and the roar of the giant beast made the entire ocean tremble.

Roar--!

The giant whales united and roared with a terrifying sound that seemed to threaten to overturn the ocean. The sound waves materialized, and the shockwaves nearly knocked over the four invading sea monster kings.

"Are you tickling me?!"

The nine-headed sea serpent king, covered in blood, hissed simultaneously from all nine heads, the sound waves mixed with invisible venom clashing violently with the giant whale pod.

The Queen Mother of the Underworld quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Then, countless translucent tentacles emerged from the shadows behind the whale pod, like thousands of venomous snakes emerging from their dens, coiling around the whales.

The suckers covering the tentacles frantically extracted the blood and energy from the whales' flesh.

"Damn that Queen Mother of the Underworld!"

The blue-green whale leader roared in anger, its fins slapping out and manifesting a thousand-foot-long blade that hurtled straight toward the Queen Mother of the Underworld.

The sharp blade cleaved the sea and severed the sky; even the tentacles of the Yin Mother King could not withstand it, and they were all severed, their black blood polluting the sea.

The Swordfish King moved with incredible speed, transforming into an unparalleled sword blade. Streams of golden light flashed by in an instant, followed by a dense trail of bubbles rising from behind due to the immense heat from friction.

Ding!

The thousand-foot-long blade shattered instantly, and the blue-green whale let out a painful cry, having been easily injured by this attack.

The Ice Prison Octopus King's attack was the most ferocious, with its eight tentacles flailing wildly. Each tentacle was comparable to a mountain range, and the terrifying ice condensed on them was sharper and heavier than any divine weapon.

It withstood the onslaught of several fourth-tier whale kings and another giant whale leader, and with its own strength, it suppressed them so much that they could not lift their heads.

"Without the Rending Sea Black Whale King, what are you?!"

The Ice Prison Octopus King laughed heartily, feeling all his previous gloom swept away today. "Die!"

A fourth-tier whale king was smashed open, leaving a bloody hole. The light in its eyes faded, and it slowly sank into the sea.

The whale pod clearly hadn't expected that these four sea monster kings, whom they had previously chased and driven to extinction, would be so powerful.

"Quickly inform the Black Whale King!" Realizing the critical situation, the two giant whale leaders cried out in alarm.

boom!

Just then, the underwater dragon vein they were guarding suddenly erupted.

Lava flowed wildly, and some even shot up several meters high under the immense pressure of the seabed.

The seabed temperature rose rapidly, and both sides in the battle felt a sense of unease.

boom!

The mountains burst open, exposing the magma that had been dormant deep within the ocean veins, turning the seabed a deep red.

But at the same time, this light seemed to contain some kind of special energy.

It made all the creatures present feel comfortable, as if they had absorbed some kind of nourishment for growth.

In a short moment, they felt their own power increase slightly.

"What are we going to do?!"

The blue-green whale leader, bleeding profusely from its abdomen and covered in sword wounds, could not accept this.

Not only did their whale pod suffer heavy losses, but the underwater dragon vein that the King of Ten Thousand Demons entrusted to them for heavy protection also suffered this misfortune.

How are they supposed to explain this to the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?

"It's over, it's over."

But unlike the dejected whales, the Ice Prison Octopus King and its companions were surprised and excited.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"So that's why you bunch of fat whales are all gathered here. Turns out there's some kind of advantage here?"

"You have benefits but don't share them with us, your fellow sea creatures. Instead, you're eyeing the Demon Kingdom on land. You fat whales are truly wicked! Traitors of the sea, die!"

"It seems even the heavens aren't on your side today! Old Octopus, let's go! Let's plunder everything here, leaving nothing for the Sea-Splitting Whale King and that Demon King!"

Swordfish King was the first to react, rushing straight into the depths of the magma.

It wants to seize the greatest benefits here and be the first fish to try something new.

"hateful."

The other three sea beast kings also realized what was happening and, fearing they would fall behind the other beasts, rushed into the lava.

"If you dare, the Rending Sea Whale King and the Lord of the Myriad Demon Kingdom will not let you get away with this!"

The whale pod tried desperately to stop them, but it was too late; they were powerless to reverse the situation, but they still tried their best to mitigate the losses.

The Ice Prison Octopus King laughed maniacally, its attacks frenzied and heavy.

"What kind of so-called Lord of Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom? Where is he now? Tell him to come out and see what he can do to me!"

"If you dare to stop me again, I will kill you all!"

Just as the whale pod's defenses were about to completely collapse, the two fifth-tier giant whale leaders were badly wounded and nearly exhausted, and the Swordfish King was about to rush into the depths of the magma.

An indescribable, absolute pressure, beyond the comprehension of all the beast kings present, descended without warning.

Time seemed to stand still on the entire battlefield.

The lava died down, the light faded, and even the chill emanating from the Ice Prison Octopus King instantly dissipated.

All the beast kings, whether giant whales or invading swordfish kings, felt a great terror descending from the most primal instincts of life.

As if gripped by this immense terror, all their movements, all their screams, all their thoughts, almost froze.

Then they "heard" a voice.

The voice that resounded in my heart and deep in my consciousness carried an aura that could not be disobeyed or profaned.

"I am right here."

The next instant, the endless deep sea, plunged into darkness, was torn apart.

It was a crimson-gold lightning bolt powerful enough to pierce through endless darkness, majestic and dazzling, illuminating the entire pitch-black seabed.

Its imposing and enormous golden shadow, difficult to describe, emerged from the seabed, as if descending from another dimension.

Its body was covered with dragon scales that looked like they were made of molten gold, and countless tiny, leaping arcs of crimson-gold electricity flowed and surged between the scales. Each flash made the surrounding space groan under the strain.

The ocean rises abruptly, and the seawater seems to fear it and dares not approach it.

"The pilgrims are devout and sincere, and all living beings should bow down with every step they take to pay homage to this seat."

"You harbor great disrespect, failing to bow before the Emperor; you have already lost your true destiny."

As the words were read aloud, Ji Chen's gaze fell indifferently.

The terror in the eyes of the four sea monster kings below was almost overflowing, filled with pleading and despair.

Ji Chen ignored it, and then...

The Ice Prison Octopus King, along with the extremely cold ice on its body, silently turned into dust.

The nine heads of the Nine-Headed Sea Serpent King simultaneously stiffened and silently burned to ashes.

The Queen Mother of the Shadows was forcibly squeezed out of the shadows, and then evaporated along with the shadows.

The Swordfish King's ferocious body, comparable to divine weapons and armor, was torn apart inch by inch in the magma.

This terrifying scene sent shivers down the spines of every giant whale.

Ji Chen's terrifying will caused their hearts to groan in despair.

Although Ji Chen's appearance has changed drastically, the whales can still discern his identity from some details.

After a brief silence came a mix of trepidation and overwhelming joy.

They were uneasy because they had not fulfilled the instructions given by the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

But there was also a mixture of shock, elation, and awe, as well as the relief of surviving a desperate situation.

"This is... the Lord of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"

Previously, Ji Chen fought against the Fierce Sea Black Whale King. The scene was so grand that many giant whales did not actually witness his strength.

Therefore, there is always a sense of unreality towards the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons, unlike the Sea-Splitting Whale King who grew up with them.

But today, when they truly witnessed Ji Chen's strength, they found it even more absurd.

They couldn't understand it at all, they didn't know why Ji Chen was so powerful, nor did they know why the Ice Prison Octopus King and other beasts died.

But this only makes Ji Chen appear more imposing and terrifying.

This also lets them know how terrifyingly strong Ji Chen is.

"Is this the power of the king?" the blue-green whale leader murmured.

It looked at the other leader, and confessed its guilt with trepidation:

"We deserve to die! Today's events are entirely due to our negligence. We beg Your Majesty to punish us; we have no complaints!"
