Chapter 595 Tang San's Eight Rings and Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix

Sitting upright behind Ma Hongjun, Tang San, stimulated by the three large sausages, rapidly circulated his Xuan Tian Gong internal energy, just like when he was under the pressure of the Sea God's Light. It continuously recovered through the eight extraordinary meridians and was then output into Ma Hongjun's body.

The fat man, who was going all out to fight against the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, quickly demonstrated the ability of the Phoenix Flame to restrain the flames of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. He gradually withstood the initial ferocity of the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, and his expression stabilized.

The purity of the Xuan Tian Gong's internal energy became the best protective shield, without any conflict with Ma Hongjun's own soul power. Under Tang San's powerful mental control, no flaws were revealed, preventing the energy erupted by the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent from harming him.

The output of soul power could not keep up with the consumption. The effects of the three sausages gradually wore off, and a strong sense of weakness began to overwhelm Tang San. However, Tang San sat there without any change in expression. From his charred exterior, Dai Mubai and the others couldn't discern any signs of weakness. None of them knew how long Tang San could hold on, nor how far the fat man had absorbed the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. All they could do was wait, a nearly agonizing wait.

The orange-red phoenix flames grew increasingly intense, causing the orange-red hue on the fat man's skin to flicker in and out of focus. Gradually, his hair turned completely golden-red, but this time, the color didn't change. What surprised everyone most was that the fat man's originally round body began to shrink over time, and his skin also receded, as if the raging flames were refining the fat within him—a truly bizarre sight.

Finally, Tang San's only white hand left the fat man's back. Dai Mubai and Oscar quickly jumped up from both sides and each supported one of his arms. Oscar unhesitatingly ate a golden fly that had just been made, and then immediately created several large recovery sausages and stuffed them into Tang San's mouth.

The recovery sausage created after using the Martial Soul True Body, the Steadfast Golden Fly, has a much stronger recovery ability and energy replenishment effect than the ordinary version.

After eating the sausage, Tang San, supported by the two men, sat down to the side, panting heavily; his breath was so hot. This was only possible because of his body's immunity to both heat and cold; anyone else would have been roasted to a crisp long ago.

A full incense stick's time passed before Tang San recovered somewhat. Due to his physical endurance, the side effects of the Dark Green Intestines exceeding his limits were limited. However, the feeling of emptiness within his body was extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't worry, everyone. Fatty's soul power has completely suppressed the energy of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core. It's only a matter of time before it's completely absorbed."

Zhu Zhuqing fetched clean water from the sea and helped Tang San wipe the charred remains from his face. Poor Tang San's hair, which had grown back in more than half a year, had disappeared once again, his face was ashen, and he looked so weak that he seemed like he might collapse at any moment.

Tang San said, "Rongrong, you can stop boosting Fatty's stats. Everyone stay away from him and let him absorb the power on his own. I can't hold on any longer. Boss, you and Rongrong keep an eye on him. If you see anything wrong with his expression, Rongrong, you boost his stats. Remember, only boost his stats, don't apply anything else to him."

"Okay. Third Brother, you should get some rest."

Tang San nodded with difficulty, finished explaining everything, and then closed his eyes to begin cultivating.

It took Tang San a full twelve hours to fully recover, which was quite remarkable for someone with his resilient physique. When he awoke, the fat man hadn't yet completed absorbing the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent. However, the orange-red light emanating from his body had dimmed considerably.

There was another person on the beach. Little White, in her human form, was looking at the fat man curiously. In her beautiful gray-blue eyes, one could vaguely see a hint of fear. She seemed to be afraid because of the aura emanating from the fat man.

Looking at the fat man cultivating, and then at Xiao Bai, whom he felt grateful to, Tang San sighed. Actually, he hadn't initially intended to give the fat man the ten Fiery Sun Serpent inner cores. This was because the Titan Giant Ape Erming had once told him that there were three conditions for reviving Xiao Wu: the Sacred Soul Grass to awaken her soul, the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ninth-Grade Ginseng King, a treasure capable of transforming her body and reshaping her into human form, and an ancient spirit beast inner core to help Xiao Wu's soul and body unite.

In fact, of these three treasures, the Sacred Soul Grass and the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ninth-Grade Ginseng King are no longer needed. With Xiao Wu having fully absorbed the Immortal-Grade Acacia Heartbreak Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, whose potency is no less than the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ninth-Grade Ginseng King, her soul has already been completely awakened, and her body has undergone a complete transformation, reshaping into human form. The only thing she needs is the inner core of an ancient spirit beast to help her unite her soul and body upon resurrection.

Before arriving at Seagod Island, Tang San valued the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core more than his own life for Xiao Wu's resurrection. However, after passing the Seagod Island's first trial, he discovered a secret. Another method to help Xiao Wu's soul and body unite was far more reliable than using the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core.

This method was discovered by Tang San when he and Xiao Wu were breaking through the first trial of the Sea God. At that time, after Xiao Wu's soul returned to her body, Tang San, due to his physical condition, was unable to withstand all the pressure himself, and some of the pressure fell on Xiao Wu. At that time, through the connection between his soul rings, soul bones, and Xiao Wu's soul, Tang San discovered that Xiao Wu's body had undergone some special changes. The immense pressure was firmly suppressing her soul within her body, and there were even signs that it was severing its connection with Tang San.

Under those circumstances, this situation was undoubtedly extremely dangerous. If the soul connection were severed, Xiao Wu would be completely destroyed, because her soul was linked to the soul ring and soul bone she had given Tang San. However, what if the soul ring and soul bone returned to Xiao Wu's body, and then fused together under this pressure?

This was a question that arose in Tang San's mind at the time. With this question in mind, he studied it carefully for a long time, but he still couldn't confirm his guess. It wasn't until after the second test began, during an unintentional conversation with Xiao Bai, that Tang San suddenly understood.

As fellow 100,000-year-old soul beasts, Tang San inquired with Xiao Bai after a battle about the possible ways to revive Xiao Wu. To his surprise, Xiao Bai's revival conditions were completely different from those of Da Ming and Er Ming. She only said one sentence: "As long as you are willing, when you have nine soul rings, you can use the Sea God's Light to infuse your own soul skills into her, and the revival probability will be one hundred percent."

Tang San quickly recounted the method used by Da Ming and Er Ming. Xiao Bai, upon hearing this, scoffed. Having also seen the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent inner core Tang San had produced, she directly told Tang San that if he used the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent inner core to help Xiao Wu's soul and body unite, Xiao Wu would undoubtedly die. Indeed, the inner core of an ancient spirit beast could help Xiao Wu's soul and body unite. However, it depended on the attribute of the core. The attribute of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent inner core was far too violent, and Xiao Wu's soul was extremely weak during the uniting process. At that time, no one could help her unless her soul could withstand the baptism of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent inner core's energy; otherwise, she would inevitably be annihilated.

Upon hearing this, Tang San broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly sought advice from Xiao Bai, explaining what he had discovered at the last moment of the first test.

Xiao Bai told Tang San that the Sea God's power is limitless, and the Sea God's Light protecting Sea God Island is merely a protective shield mimicking the Sea God's abilities. It's not the true Sea God's Light. That pressure could indeed facilitate the fusion of Xiao Wu's soul and body, but it would be extremely unstable. Furthermore, Tang San and Xiao Wu can no longer feel that pressure. The Sea God's Light she spoke of is the true Sea God's Light—a radiance only the Sea God possesses. It's the light emanating from the golden trident mark on Tang San's forehead when she tried to kill him. Under the influence of this light, the gentle power of the Sea God can easily help Xiao Wu complete the fusion process.

When Tang San asked Xiao Bai how he could awaken the Light of the Sea God again, Xiao Bai looked at him speechlessly and told him that on the entire Sea God Island, only one person could unleash the true Light of the Sea God. It was not the Grand Elder Sea God Douluo Poseidon, but Tang San himself. As for when he could unleash it, it depended on when Tang San's affinity with the Sea God could be increased to more than 30%.

As Xiaobai finished speaking, the trident mark on Tang San's forehead lit up once more. This time, before Xiaobai could react, she was pulled back into the sea by a golden light. Clearly, the power contained within the mark was blaming her for being too talkative.

It was precisely because of this that Tang San was filled with anticipation for obtaining that five percent of the Sea God's affinity for the first time, and was extremely grateful to Xiao Bai. Naturally, the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent's inner core no longer needed to be left for Xiao Wu; making the most of it, without Xiao Wu's involvement, Tang San naturally wouldn't be stingy, directly enabling Ma Hongjun's cultivation of his seventh spirit ring.

Tang San stretched his body forcefully, and his bones cracked and popped, waking up the people who were protecting them.

Ning Rongrong jumped in front of Tang San. "Third Brother, you're awake. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better?"

Tang San nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Fatty seems to be in stable condition. You guys continue to protect him. Xiao Bai, I'm going to wash up in the Ring Sea, so please don't attack me for now."

Xiao Bai nodded at his disheveled appearance, a strange light flashing in her eyes. As a 100,000-year-old soul beast, how could she not know what was happening on the shore? Especially the aura that erupted from Fatty after he consumed the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent—an aura that even she felt fear about—made her wary. That's why she rushed over to check on him several times.

She had witnessed Tang San enduring the scorching Phoenix Flames to protect Fatty. Now, looking at Tang San who had regained consciousness, Xiao Bai thought to herself, "Is this what human loyalty is? So, humans aren't just selfish after all."

Tang San thoroughly cleaned his body, changed into dry clothes, and apart from his hair and eyebrows needing some time to grow back, his body had fully recovered.

However, no one was in the mood for cultivation at this moment; everyone was eagerly anticipating Ma Hongjun's breakthrough. Aside from Xiao Wu, he was the last to reach level 70 in soul power. The crowd wasn't hoping for the immense strength he would gain, but rather for him to safely complete the process of absorbing the soul ring.

This wait lasted for three whole days. Everyone took turns cultivating their soul power and keeping watch, waiting for the fat man to wake up from his cultivation state.

Looking at Ma Hongjun in his cultivation state, Bai Chenxiang was the most shocked. Three days had passed, and the fat man's appearance had changed completely. All the fat on his body had disappeared, and under his loose clothes, one could vaguely feel his solid muscles.

As the fat on his face disappeared, his tightly closed eyes no longer seemed so small, and everything looked much more harmonious. Although in terms of appearance, he couldn't compare to Tang San, Oscar, or Dai Mubai, at this moment, his above-average looks, combined with the special aura bestowed upon him by the Phoenix Martial Soul, made him surprisingly attractive.

three days later.

As night fell and everyone prepared Oscar's giant sausages to stave off hunger, a strange feeling suddenly arose in the hearts of everyone present. Almost instantly, all eyes turned to Ma Hongjun.

The orange-red flames that had disappeared from the fat man's skin reappeared, rising like crystalline streaks of red blood. The fat man trembled slightly, and in the next moment, he was completely engulfed in flames. The phoenix flames soaring into the sky instantly filled the heavens. The massive flames soared upwards, accompanied by a resounding phoenix cry.

A dazzling phoenix flame streaked across the night sky, illuminating almost the entire Poseidon Mountain. As it rose, the flames gradually faded, revealing a gigantic figure.

A large, fiery red bird soared through the air, its dazzling crimson tail feathers and perfect physique exuding the majesty of a king among birds. Most remarkably, this enormous fire phoenix had seven heads. One would expect a creature with seven heads to be terrifying, yet the seven heads of this fire phoenix appeared remarkably harmonious, each one graceful and captivating.

Tang San clenched his fist forcefully. "I did it."

The loud phoenix cry echoed in the air. At this moment, Dai Mubai felt for the first time that the fat man's strength had caught up with his own, and even surpassed his own in some aspects. Soaring in the sky, he truly possessed that super martial soul.

With a splash, Little White appeared on the shore, looking at the seven-headed fire phoenix in the sky with a mixture of fear and uncertainty in its eyes.

It wasn't that she feared Ma Hongjun in his fire phoenix form, but rather that the aura of the fire phoenix was the nemesis of almost all snakes, insects, and fish. The fat man had just completed the fusion of his martial soul true form, and the primal phoenix power that erupted at that moment was enough to instill fear in any creature that was inherently suppressed.

Xiao Bai knew that when these humans from the land attacked his defenses again, it would be much more difficult to resist.

Half a year has passed, and Xiaobai has witnessed firsthand the terrifying growth rate of the Shrek Seven Devils. Frankly, she felt a pang of jealousy. Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and their cultivation speed is unmatched by any other creature. In just six months, they have made such a tremendous breakthrough. Now, resisting their onslaught is becoming increasingly difficult. Unable to use her own powerful attacks, stopping these guys requires not only her own domain skills but also the cooperation of other sea spirit beasts in the ring-shaped sea. Only in this way can they be blasted back to the surface one by one.

Previously, this fat man had never participated in their daily assaults. Now, with another force no less capable than Dai Mubai appearing, he would likely have to go all out to continue stopping them. They truly were worthy of being chosen by the Sea God!

The cries of the phoenix gradually subsided. The fat man circled the Sea God Mountain once before slowly descending towards the shore. Even before his seven-headed fire phoenix form landed, the intense heat had already scorched the ground. Fortunately, the fat man had restrained his soul power before truly landing, thus preventing any attack.

The enormous phoenix wings folded, and the fat man, his feet firmly planted on the ground, transformed back into a human. This time, unlike when he obtained his sixth spirit ring, he didn't embarrass himself by being naked. Although he had relinquished his martial spirit form, his entire body was still covered in a layer of fiery red feathers, concealing his skin and vital areas.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun appeared to be a well-proportioned young man with short, red hair styled in a mohawk, which, combined with the shimmering fiery red feathers, made him look extremely spirited and exuded a noble and imposing aura. Even just standing there, he emanated an invisible pressure.

Ma Hongjun's eyes, radiating a fiery red light, were filled with disbelief. He looked at his hands, then at his noticeably thinner, more toned physique, even patting his chest muscles. He stood there, speechless for a moment. The flames on his body slowly died down.

"Hey Fatty, what are you looking at? Although you can't compare to me, I have to admit you've gotten a lot more handsome than before!" Oscar chuckled.

"I've really lost weight! I've really lost weight? Heavens above, am I dreaming? Hahaha..." The fat man shouted exaggeratedly, his excitement overflowing, and laughed triumphantly.

Bai Chenxiang was speechless looking at him. This guy had indeed lost weight, but his personality was still the same as before, unchanged.

Looking at Ma Hongjun, Tang San's eyes also shone with excitement. The fat man had succeeded and finally entered the Soul Saint realm. Over the past year, the fat man's efforts had yielded the best reward, and the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent had also found its most suitable home. Tang San couldn't help but feel secretly gratified.

"Third Brother!" the fat man shouted, rushing to Tang San and giving him a big bear hug.

Tang San let him hug him with a bit of helplessness, "Watch your emotions, don't unleash your flames. Fatty, you owe me a set of clothes."

Ma Hongjun looked up, stared blankly at Tang San's clean-shaven head, and asked, "Third Brother, your hair and eyebrows..."

Dai Mubai chuckled beside him and whispered, "Not just these, I reckon there aren't even any bird feathers left..."

Ma Hongjun's eyes were visibly red. He was well aware of the support Tang San had given him from behind, and seeing Tang San's bald head now, he could easily guess what had happened. He bit his lower lip, forcing himself not to say any words of thanks, and simply hugged Tang San tightly again.

Ning Rongrong patted her forehead and chuckled, "If Xiao Wu saw this, she might misunderstand. Fatty, I can tell you responsibly, Third Brother doesn't have that kind of hobby."

Ma Hongjun looked up at her. "Rongrong, don't call me Fatty anymore. Your fourth brother isn't fat anymore. I'm a handsome guy now. Ah, where's my Xiangxiang?"

Releasing her arms from Tang San, her gaze quickly fell upon Bai Chenxiang standing to the side. She immediately ran up to her with open arms, "Xiangxiang, can you see? I've lost weight. Now I'm good enough for you, right? Can we date now?"

Bai Chenxiang said irritably, "You're like a leopard that can't change its spots. Who wants to date you?" As she spoke, she quickly took two steps back, dodging Ma Hongjun's bear hug.

Ma Hongjun didn't press the issue. His newfound weight boosted his confidence, and he laughed, saying, "It's okay, I can wait. I'll tell you every day, 'Xiangmei, please date me.'"

Bai Chenxiang was speechless at his expression, yet a warm feeling welled up inside her. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "You should focus on your cultivation first. After you pass all the tests, I'll consider giving you a chance."

Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in disbelief. "Really?" This was the first time he had ever heard Bai Chenxiang say she was willing to date him. Overjoyed, he turned to the others behind him and said, "Let's go, let's go, let's go break through the test. Let's go now."

"Come on, little fatty, I'll give you a good beating," Little White said to the fat man with ill intent. The phoenix flames emanating from the fat man, which made her uneasy, also ignited her competitive spirit.

Tang San said, "Xiao Bai, then I'll trouble you to take good care of Fatty for a while from now on." Ma Hongjun hasn't experienced much training in the Ring Sea yet, and he really needs Xiao Bai's "care" to better improve his combat ability in the sea.

"Let's go, let's get in the water!" Dai Mubai shouted, pulling Zhu Zhuqing along and calling to the others, rushing straight into the circular sea. Having the fat man, who had risen to the Soul Saint level, greatly boosted his confidence.

A flash of red light appeared, and Xiao Wu's soul returned to her body. Led by Tang San, the seven of them transformed into seven figures and plunged into the ring-shaped sea almost simultaneously. At the same time they began to move, Xiao Bai giggled, flipped over, and plunged into the ring-shaped sea, instantly reverting to her Demon Soul Great White Shark King form, and fiercely met the group's attack.

Five minutes later...

Bang! A red figure crashed heavily onto the beach. Oscar was no longer the first to be thrown ashore. The dazed and confused fat man vomited mouthfuls of seawater, looking utterly pathetic.

That's right, Fatty's strength has indeed made a qualitative leap, but he has never truly fought Little White, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, in the Ring Sea. It's no wonder he can't adapt to fighting underwater all of a sudden. This is the Ring Sea, not the Soul Fighting Pool that could evaporate most of him back then. Unable to adapt to fighting underwater, he was almost immediately pulled out by Little White's "deliberate" care.

The fat man's initial excitement cooled down. He understood that he still needed considerable training to pass this second test. However, regardless, he had now entered the ranks of experts, and he believed that with the explosive power of his Phoenix Martial Soul, as long as he became familiar with the combat situation in the sea, he would definitely be able to overcome this test together with everyone else.

Five months later...

The Shrek Seven Devils stood quietly at the foot of Poseidon Mountain, before the surging sea, which seemed to be calling to them. Through the azure water, they could clearly see nearly a thousand sea spirit beasts, led by the gigantic Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Little White, floating in the more than two hundred-meter-wide expanse of water, silently watching them.

Another year has almost passed, and even the youngest, Zhu Zhuqing, has already celebrated her twenty-second birthday. Admittedly, in this second year, the Shrek Seven Devils' soul power growth rate was not as fast as in the first year. However, their combat abilities underwent a tremendous test in the Ring Sea this past year. Constant practice and coordination have made the five years of separation no longer a problem. At this moment, even without seeing each other, the seven of them can clearly grasp every coordination.

Three days ago, they underwent their final training in the sea. Afterward, the seven of them rested for three days and specifically notified Xiaobai that today was the day they would attempt their second test.

The current soul power level of the Shrek Seven Devils is:

Evil-eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai, a level 74 offensive-type Battle Soul Saint.

Uncle Oscar the Big Sausage, a level 72 Food-type Soul Saint.

Tang San, the Thousand-Handed Asura, is a level 78 Control-type Battle Soul Saint.

Ma Hongjun, the Evil Phoenix, is a level 72 Power Attack-type Battle Soul Saint.

The Soft-Boned Rabbit Xiao Wu possesses unknown soul power, but her physical resistance and water combat abilities have been greatly enhanced.

Ning Rongrong, a level 72 auxiliary-type weapon spirit master, possesses the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile.

Zhu Zhuqing, the Netherworld Cat, is a level 73 Agility-based Battle Soul Saint.

In terms of soul power level, Tang San, Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar all increased by two levels. Ning Rongrong also increased by one level. After the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda broke through level seventy, the difficulty of cultivation increased significantly, which is why she only increased by a little over one level. Nevertheless, Ning Rongrong was very satisfied. She vividly remembered how difficult it was for her father, a member of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, to increase his soul power by one level after breaking through level seventy. Moreover, judging from the previous test, passing the second test should potentially grant her another level of soul power as a reward. For high-level soul masters, this reward is already very generous.

Tang San said in a deep voice, "Everyone, get ready."

Amidst a flash of red light, Xiao Wu's soul drifted out of his body and returned to her original form. However, since Xiao Wu's sacrifice, she has never had a soul ring again, though she can still use her previous skills.

Their martial spirits were released almost simultaneously. Traveling over two hundred meters in the sea was a simple matter for the Shrek Seven Devils, given their current swimming abilities, but the opponents they faced were anything but. Although the Ring Sea didn't appear wide, this very narrowness limited their maneuvering space. Facing hundreds of sea spirit beasts of various levels, their path was almost completely blocked. The biggest obstacle preventing them from completing this second trial naturally came from Little White, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Without overcoming Little White's challenge, they couldn't reach the other side. While Little White wouldn't attack them with full force, she would definitely do everything in her power to prevent them from completing the trial. With her command, the sea spirit beasts in the Ring Sea were like an impenetrable wall. In the previous eleven months of training, the group had never advanced more than one hundred meters within the Ring Sea.

"Go!" Tang San shouted, and the seven of them simultaneously unleashed their power, plunging into the sea like seven swimming fish.

In the circular sea, Xiaobai was already prepared. From the indomitable aura emanating from the Shrek Seven Devils, she knew that today's battle would not be as simple as before. These humans from the inland were about to launch a real attack on the second test that she was guarding.

Just as the seven monsters pounced, Ma Hongjun's entire body erupted with golden-red light, and his already standard-sized body instantly expanded, transforming into a giant seven-headed fire phoenix, carrying a dazzling tail flame, and directly plunged into the ring-shaped sea.

At the same time, Tang San climbed up Xiao Wu's slender waist, while the other four each ate a mushroom-shaped sausage. Their figures shifted in the air, suddenly converging behind Ma Hongjun, forming a straight line with the fat man at the forefront.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda shone brightly, and three major amplification attributes—soul power amplification, attribute amplification, and defense amplification—simultaneously fell upon Ma Hongjun in front of him, causing the phoenix flames on his body to blaze fiercely.

Although the seawater in the ring-shaped sea was filled with a special magic, the moment Ma Hongjun, who had transformed into a seven-headed fire phoenix, rushed into it, the seawater around his body instantly vaporized and was dispersed to both sides by the enormous energy that erupted from his body.

Ma Hongjun chose a position right below the restrictive light barrier, so when the seawater receded, there was no water pressure from above. This temporarily revealed a waterless space. His body flew forward rapidly, and as the seawater vaporized, a brief passageway formed behind him.

At that moment, Tang San and his group of six rushed into it. Tang San carried Xiao Wu as they flew, while the other four each had a pair of transparent wings appear on their backs, following closely behind and flying rapidly forward along the light curtain above.

Little White, deep within the ring-shaped sea, was momentarily stunned by this scene. Out of habit, she had assumed the Shrek Seven Devils would, as usual, plunge directly into the sea to fight her and the other sea spirit beasts head-on, then seek an opportunity to break through. But she never expected the Seven Devils to make such a clever arrangement.

That's right, the Seven Devils all have decent swimming skills now, but even with their excellent swimming abilities, they can't compare to true sea spirit beasts. Swimming speed, no matter how fast, can't surpass flight. Meanwhile, with the flying mushroom sausages and Fatty's blazing phoenix flames clearing the way, by the time the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Little White, reacted, they had already penetrated more than sixty meters into the ring-shaped sea. And because all the sea spirit beasts had previously set up formations throughout the water, they encountered no obstacles whatsoever.

A burst of white light erupted from Tang San, transforming into an oval halo that enveloped the seven members of their group. The white light at the forefront condensed into a sharp cone shape, further increasing Ma Hongjun's forward momentum. This was the activation of the Killing God Assault skill, an evolved skill of the Killing God Domain.

At the same time, through the Killing God Domain, a strong killing intent suddenly erupted, causing the sea spirit beasts that were closest to them and reacted first to hesitate in fear, not daring to get too close.

The Shrek Seven Devils' straight-line formation had already broken through to the seventy-meter mark. It's important to note that Ning Rongrong's buff to Ma Hongjun was currently in the air and wouldn't be weakened by the seawater. The already incredibly powerful Fatty naturally had even greater impact.

Xiao Bai was a little angry, thinking to himself, "These humans are really cunning, trying to pass the level in this way?"
