Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

The further west you go, the more severe the suppression of spiritual energy becomes. Short-distance flight is fine, but this sea area is vast and boundless.

If one can only rely on flying, it would be difficult to get through safely.

"Do you have any other ideas?" Li Yuan asked helplessly.

"Let it fly. There's iced tea floating everywhere here. If you get really tired, just rest on the side."

Ji Fanghua sighed and reluctantly compromised.

To conserve their spiritual energy, the three of them skimmed low over the sea. To take care of the two, Li Yuan would stop every hour to find ice floes to rest on and wait for them to recover their strength before continuing their journey.

That evening, thick leaden clouds piled up on the horizon, and a storm swept in from the sea.

The gale whipped up ice crystals and stirred up towering waves, making it impossible for the three of them to keep flying. Li Yuan squinted and tried his best to unleash his divine sense to catch a dark shadow on the gray sea. It was an island.

"It's over there! Get to the island quickly!"

The three of them landed on the island with all their might. The island was not large, but it was very desolate. The mountains were barren and full of strange rocks. The strangest thing was that many plants that could only be found underwater grew there.

"Let's stay here and wait for the storm to pass before we leave."

The three of them found a sheltered spot on a mountain peak, sat down to regulate their breathing and recover their strength. After an unknown amount of time, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook slightly.

What happened? Could it be a small earthquake?

A sense of unease swept through Li Yuan's heart. He turned his head and looked around. Leng Ningshuang and Ji Fanghua were meditating to recover their spiritual power, and the surroundings were peaceful.

Just when he thought he was imagining things, the ground beneath his feet suddenly began to shake violently.

"Was there an earthquake?"

Ji Fanghua suddenly opened her eyes, and the entire island began to shake violently. The rocks beneath her feet rumbled, as if something was awakening from the depths of the island.

Li Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. He released his spiritual sense and felt that there was a spiritual energy pulse in the rock beneath his feet. His heart was pounding incessantly.

What is that?

Suddenly it dawned on me that this was neither rock nor soil, but a living creature.

"This isn't an island!" he shouted angrily. "Go! Go now!"

"Boom!"

The three rushed out of the crevice, and the island beneath their feet was rapidly rising. Seawater poured down from all around the island, revealing a massive, mountain-like body beneath the sea.

With its gray-black scales and jagged dorsal fin, it slowly opened its enormous mouth, revealing not sharp teeth, but a bottomless black vortex.

Ji Fanghua and the others stared in astonishment, unable to believe that the island was actually a primordial behemoth that had been sleeping in the glacial sea and had inexplicably awakened for some unknown reason.

"Aww!"

The monster emerged from the seabed with a deafening roar that made the three of them feel their blood churn. Ji Fanghua's body went limp, and she was about to fall again when Li Yuan quickly pulled her up.

A column of water shot into the sky, and the three of them were tossed about by the giant wave. Li Yuan grabbed Ji Fanghua's hand and used his other hand to condense a star power barrier to block the oncoming water wall.

In her haste, Leng Ning Shuang planted her ice sword into the rock beneath her feet, barely managing to steady herself.

The behemoth rose higher and higher in the water, its enormous head turning out of the sea, its two yellowish eyes glaring at them with fury.

"Awooo!"

The moment the giant mouth opened, Li Yuan could clearly see the vortex deep in the throat, bottomless, like a dark abyss, chilling to the bone.

"Roar!"

The giant beast roared in pain, and a massive column of water, carrying shards of ice, crashed down on the three of them.

The three of them dodged awkwardly on the giant beast's body. The vortex in its mouth seemed to have a powerful suction force, forcing them to be distracted and fight back with all their might.

Just then, Li Yuan spotted several figures on the distant sea. Judging from their appearance, they were three members of the demon race, and he was overjoyed.

Just as they were about to ask for help, they realized that something was wrong with the group; the three of them were clearly fleeing in a disheveled state.

Soon, a strangely shaped giant beast crashed through the iceberg and caught up with them. This beast had a long neck, which looked like a snake, but its body was round and plump.

Seeing this, Li Yuan had a flash of inspiration and came up with a brilliant idea that could kill two birds with one stone.

He immediately pulled out a communication bead from his robes and activated his spiritual power: "Langhuan! Come this way! Lure that monster over!"

Langhuan was startled. She looked up and saw the monster fighting with Li Yuan and the others. She was stunned.

Then she realized: "Are you trying to shift the blame and use someone else to do the dirty work?"

"Indeed, please cooperate, Miss Langhuan."

Langhuan was overjoyed and immediately sent a telepathic message to Qingcang and Moming to discuss it. The two had been chased by the monster for a long time and were already exhausted. Hearing this suggestion, they were naturally delighted.

As Langhuan flew, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and unleashed a beam of demonic energy at the giant beast that was relentlessly pursuing her. This enraged the beast, which roared and charged at her.

She hurriedly sped away, constantly provoking the monster and enraging it, causing it to lose its mind and blindly pursue her.

Li Yuan and his companions flew over to greet Lang Huan. Under their deliberate guidance, the two giant beasts soon met on the sea, and the world seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Awooo!"

The two colossal beasts roared simultaneously, unleashing their berserk mode, their eyes turning blood red.

They are the overlords of this glacial sea, each with their own territory and no interference with each other. But now, they meet unexpectedly and their fighting spirit is instantly ignited.

At this moment, they could no longer care about a few small ants. They turned around and rammed into each other. The two mountain-like behemoths tore and collided in the storm, creating waves as high as a dozen stories. Even the seawater was stained dark red with blood.

"Walk!"

Li Yuan grabbed Leng Ningshuang and Ji Fanghua's hands and, taking advantage of a lull in the battle between the two giant beasts, sped off in the opposite direction.

The three demons also retreated at the same time, with Qingcang shouting as he ran, "Damn it, those two monsters are really something!"

At the critical moment, a chilling black mist descended from the sky, transforming into a giant hand that slammed down on Leng Ning Shuang with a loud bang.

Frost was flying at high speed, its attention focused on the monster behind it, and it was completely unprepared. In addition, the attack was so fast that it was hit in the back.

"what!"

She cried out in alarm, and the ice sword beneath her feet suddenly went out of control. She plummeted into the churning sea like a bird with a broken wing.

"Senior Sister Leng!"

Li Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. Without thinking, he suddenly accelerated, his figure transforming into a silver streak as he plunged into the sea.

Ji Fanghua was startled. Without the slightest hesitation, she also activated her spatial power and teleported into the water in a short distance.

On the sea, Ming Ji's figure slowly emerged, standing on a piece of floating ice, coldly watching the ripples disappear on the sea surface, but she did not intend to continue the pursuit.

"You're quick to run, but the currents under this sea are turbulent; you'll be in for a world of trouble."

Behind her, Xu Xuan also appeared. He did not look in the direction where Li Yuan and the other two disappeared, but turned his gaze to the demon race who were fleeing for their lives.

A gray-white shadow silently slipped out from his sleeve and wrapped around Qingcang's ankle.

The enormous beast blocked his view, and Qingcang did not notice the presence of the two demons. The shadow silk accurately caught him and dragged him backward.
