With his membrane wings outstretched, he slowly descended from the clouds.
The Arctic Ocean is currently experiencing polar day, and the bright light has not been affected by the previous war.
Glaciers, ocean, a huge and ancient beluga whale, a little girl on the water, and summer trees in the sky.
It seemed as if they were the only ones left in the whole world.
"Actually, I've always had a question..."
Xia Mu spoke calmly.
Xue clearly had no patience to talk to him; with a clench of her small hand, ocean currents and glaciers shot into the sky.
Xia Mu unleashed a burst of primordial flames around his body, resisting the impact of the icy flow.
A beautiful whale song began to play at that moment.
Leviathan's eyes were golden, and the tsunami it unleashed resembled a sky-high cloud, threatening to freeze Xia Mu from above.
Xia Mu's surrounding flames gradually shrank as he was attacked from both above and below.
“What I’m wondering is… how could you grow so big in just over a year…” Xia Mu said.
What was offered as a sacrifice to the White King at the Sea God's Treasury was the Sea King's embryo.
The Aquamen also come from Black Swan Harbor. They are subservient to Zero and are Zero's helpers in escaping.
Therefore, everything makes logical sense.
However, he still doesn't know why the embryo that Xia Mu released back then has grown so large in just over a year...
Chapter 374 The Hidden Hand from Back then
"Give it a try."
Natsuki could easily parry Yuki's attacks, but Leviathan, with its massive body fused with Abbas, was not to be underestimated.
The entire Arctic Ocean seemed to be moving in accordance with Leviathan's will.
A dark red flame quietly ignited between Xia Mu's brows.
That is the fire of the spirit.
The power of his spirit drew an alchemical pattern on his forehead, which rapidly expanded under Xia Mu's control, flew out of the royal flames, and fell straight towards Leviathan on the sea surface.
"Splash!"
Although Leviathan didn't know what it was, it instinctively sensed danger.
Her body was enormous, and she couldn't escape in time, so she sank into the sea.
The alchemical array constructed by the spiritual fire was not hindered by the seawater and fell straight onto her.
The giant beluga whale blinked its small eyes, seemingly without any sign of distress.
But soon it felt like a fire was burning inside his body, and the tiny alchemical array was frantically traversing his blood vessels, as if it were trying to locate itself.
It eventually settles on the outer side of the brain.
"I see."
Xia Mu Huang Jin Tong flashed, "The embryonic form is hidden inside the brain... Is this body your former dragon bones...?"
No living thing can defy the laws of nature in its growth; even the king of the ocean and water cannot grow to a height of over a hundred meters in just over a year.
When Lu Mingze retrieved the Sea King embryo, he instructed her to "grow up as quickly as possible, to the point where you can break free from Xia Mu's mental imprint." She clearly took his advice to heart... but she went down the wrong path.
"How could you possibly escape my mental imprint if it wasn't a body that grew out of you now?"
Xia Mu's eyes shone brightly with golden light. "Since your spirit no longer flows within this enormous body, it's as if I'm in an empty place!"
“?——”
Leviathan churned wildly on the seabed, and on the outer layer of the giant whale's brain, the dark red spiritual imprint echoed from within, frantically invading.
"Stepping on Stars"
"Leviathan!"
Xue's expression changed, her entire body covered in snow-white scales, she spread her membranous wings and crashed into Xia Mu, accompanied by massive ice formations.
Xia Mu was focused on wearing down Leviathan's spirit inside her body, and for the moment he couldn't care less about her, only using Jun Yan to withstand the impact.
Xue is not Leviathan; she wields power, not strength. Even with all her might, she is no match for Xia Mu, and she cannot even break through Jun Yan's heat.
The impact stopped quickly because she realized it was all in vain.
She fell into the ocean like a fish leaping into the sea, quickly approaching Leviathan.
"Psychological attacks are beyond our control."
Xia Mu thought Xue was trying to help Leviathan.
But Xia Mi shouted in a low voice, "Quick! Stop her!"
Xia Mu was startled, and subconsciously trusted Xia Mi's judgment. He retracted his membrane wings and his body fell in a parabolic arc.
But Xue was faster; she had already reached the whale's head.
The seawater around her body quickly froze into ice, enveloping her as if it had become a giant icicle... slowly and steadily cutting into the whale's body.
"Roar--"
The whale cried out in pain, suffering severe mental and physical trauma.
When Natsuki discovered the truth about Leviathan's body, Yuki did the same.
Leviathan may appear powerful, but it is actually just a powerful shell. Once that shell is broken, its true form will be revealed.
Xia Mu's breakthrough in mental strength was far less significant than the physical cuts, especially since his mind became even more violent when Leviathan was in pain.
But the icicles formed from the melting snow gradually penetrated, cutting through the outer skin, slicing open the brain, and finding the embryo hidden deep in the center.
In order to control such a large body, the embryo itself does not grow at all.
The icicles around Xue's body disappeared, and she stood inside the brain of the flesh-and-blood lake, large, cold tears streaming from her eyes.
But she pounced on it, tearing at the embryo with large bites, ignoring its sharp, painful, angry, and confused cries.
She was just crying.
Xia Mu felt nauseous: "How disgusting."
Xia Mi remained silent: "This is the fate of the twins on the throne."
Without hesitation, Xia Mu activated the Monarch Flame, which hurtled towards the snow and the embryo like a black missile.
If it hits, it will be like a volcanic eruption.
Large snowflakes fell like tears, but they didn't affect her "eating" speed.
However, she also knew that she could not let Xia Mu interrupt her evolution, so she took the bloody embryo with her and separated from the giant whale's brain, and sank rapidly to the seabed with a splash.
In the ocean, she is the queen.
Xia Mu couldn't catch up, and the water around him was constantly hindering him, creating an extremely cold, frozen mode.
Using Junyan underwater is much more uncomfortable than on water.
Xia Mu thought for a moment, then suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong? It's best not to wait until she successfully evolves, otherwise she'll be invincible in the ocean. Even if she can't beat you, you won't be able to stop her from escaping," Xia Mi said.
"What methods did you use when you were her enemy back then? The sky and the wind, the ocean and the sea, one is invincible in the sky and the other is invincible in the ocean, so you could only hide underground?" Xia Mu asked.
Xia Mi's face darkened: "If you can't speak properly, then shut up!"
Xia Mu suddenly turned around and swam upstream.
"You think Norton went to so much trouble to create Seven Deadly Sins? It's because the opponent is too difficult to beat... Huh?"
Xia Mi saw Xia Mu place his hand on the giant whale's belly.
After the snow took away the embryo, the giant whale formed from the enormous dragon bone became ownerless.
"Om."
As Xia Mu expected, when he placed his hand on it, the entire dragon bone vibrated, the glacier melted, and a golden light flashed across its surface.
“Actually, Leviathan did the right thing. She has only had this one body for countless years. If she had been given a few more years, this body would have fully integrated,” Xia Mi said. “It’s just that she was unlucky to run into your mental imprint.”
"In other words, Leviathan fuses with this dragon skeleton every time she is reborn. Although her most essential dragon blood is not here, the dragon skeleton is still a huge treasure."
Xia Mu closed his eyes.
The snow-white skeleton was slowly extracted, and the giant whale's body quickly began to shrink. No blood flowed out, and all the essence was absorbed by the dragon bones.
When the dragon bone came into contact with Xia Mu's body, it initially resisted, but soon began to merge with him on its own.
Xia Mu felt as if she were enveloped in hot spring water, and her senses gradually spread from her body to her dragon bones.
This enormous dragon skeleton…
Xia Mu opened his eyes, and all he could see was the snow-white dragon bones.
As perception expanded and assimilated, the dragon skeleton slowly began to become part of the body.
But what troubled him was how to place such a large keel, how to use it…
"I can't just turn into a giant whale made of bones, can I?"
Xia Mu muttered to himself.
"boom!"
Before he could figure out how to deal with it, a huge sense of crisis suddenly came from the dragon bone, and the intense heat exploded in an instant.
Xia Mu felt as if the dragon bones were being burned and about to melt.
Since he had already fused with the dragon bone, the explosion felt as if it had hit him directly!
He looked through the layers of dragon bones.
A nuclear submarine was hundreds of meters ahead...
