With the two sea monster giants joining forces, Qin Zhenhai probably really has no chance of becoming a Supreme Being.

【You can't stop the Mermaid King either. The previous struggle was because he couldn't hit you, but that doesn't mean you can touch him!】

Therefore, since we can't stop the Mermaid King, we might as well kill him.

Yun Shou: "..."

That makes so much sense that he couldn't refute it for a moment.

The overlord was shocked, the great demon was shocked, and even the Heavenly Mermaid King was shocked.

[At this moment, you rush straight towards him—he notices, but doesn't pay much attention.]

[Because you didn't detonate the Taiyuan Crystal Heart in your hand, without any warning. During the previous entanglement, the Mermaid King discovered that your survival instinct was terrifyingly strong!]

[Someone with such maxed-out evasion skills wouldn't easily sacrifice themselves.]

[Besides, you've never even used this Taiyuan Crystal Heart.]

[Furthermore, during the battle, he realized he didn't need to be on guard. The energy fluctuations from the explosion of the Taiyuan Crystal Heart were considerable; as long as he observed carefully, he could escape the blast radius—the one you have now shows absolutely no sign of activating.]

He raised his claws, preparing to force you back again. The most important thing now is to kill Qin Zhenhai.

[Until the very last moment before he swung his sword—you released the Taiyuan Crystal Core that you had compressed and suppressed to its limit within your body.]

Like a pea shooter.

[Your body surges with boundless energy, causing you to drop the bomb and glide away at incredible speed.]

[You used all those methods that required a month or even half a year of recovery afterward, those methods that could even cause your cultivation level to drop—all of them—to run away!]

Otherwise, there's no way to escape; this is our only chance!

[The reason is... that Taiyuan Crystal Heart exploded just one-tenth of a second after you spat it out; you truly controlled it to the limit!]

When it exploded, it was thirty miles away from the Heavenly King of the Mermaids, but only twenty miles away from you!

[The Mermaid King was momentarily stunned as he watched the Primordial Crystal you spewed out, then froze again as the explosion began to expand into a gigantic, spherical annihilation body.]

[Then he turned and began to run away, screaming wildly.]

As a powerful demon approaching the fifteenth level of combat strength, the Mermaid King at full speed would exceed the expansion speed of the destructive primordial energy sphere when the Taiyuan Crystal Core exploded.

However, he's just getting started and needs a period of acceleration.

[He only managed to run a few steps before being overtaken and swallowed up.]

[A massive explosion, even surpassing the full-force attack of most supreme beings!]

You risked your life to escape a thousand miles in a short time, narrowly escaping death.

[Turning around, the enormous sphere of primal energy expanded to its limit, then disintegrated, transforming into countless dispersed energy streams that blasted craters into the earth.]

A mangled body flew out from some direction and crashed to the ground.

[The explosion of the Taiyuan Crystal Core was ultimately less concentrated than a Supreme Attack, and the Mermaid King had also moved further away from the explosion's epicenter... so he didn't die!]

[Perhaps it's dead, just not blown to pieces.]

You take a deep breath, suppressing the excruciating pain throughout your body. The burst of power from just now hasn't worn off yet; you still have the strength to fight, and you're terrifyingly strong!

Like a shooting star, you streaked across the sky, hurtling towards the falling body of the Mermaid King!

[Hundreds of miles away, you keenly noticed his mangled arm twitch, and a chilling alarm bell rang in your mind.]

[They've appeared! The first opponent to survive the explosion of the Taiyuan Crystal Core has appeared!]

[This is also because he was not at the epicenter of the explosion, but rather dozens of miles away.]

Unfortunately, your approach at that time was already the optimal route. Getting any closer would have resulted in the Shark King attacking or discovering the problem. These factors meant that you either wouldn't be able to blow him up, or you wouldn't be able to escape.

[Seven hundred li, five hundred li, three hundred li... You see the battered Mermaid King struggling to turn over.]

His body was tattered and mangled; a quarter or fifth of his flesh on his back had been obliterated by the energy explosion, and most of his organs were damaged.

[His entire body was covered in scales, revealing the exposed, stark white bones of a mermaid.]

His health bar had been reduced to less than one-tenth, but he was still alive. He forced his weakened body to take a step down from mid-air!

[Boom!]

The air currents surged, and immense pressure spread in all directions.

[The ability to tread on steel is possessed by all three realms of demons, but in reality, anyone with a strong enough physical body can achieve this.]

[The Mermaid King steadied himself in mid-air, facing you as you hurtled towards him, and raised his tattered right arm high.]

He froze for a moment, then your massive blade of elemental energy slashed down, slamming him into the ground, his wounds and flesh flying everywhere!

The Mermaid King's face was grim; he only discovered, when he tried to activate his demonic energy, that it had been shattered and disintegrated by the massive explosion!

This time, you and he are both fighting tooth and nail.

His injuries were getting worse and worse; even his peak third-realm vitality couldn't withstand the repeated deterioration!

As for you... your various explosive techniques will also become ineffective over time, your combat power will gradually decline, and you may even enter a weakened state, significantly weakening.

The only two pieces of good news are that, as your injuries worsen and your health bar drops, the Shark King is not only no match for you now, but his strength has also decreased significantly.

[Another piece of good news for you right now: the sea monsters, if they could spare any time, would head straight for Qin Zhenhai; they have no interest in helping the Mermaid King.]

Nothing could stop Cheng Chong from being respected!

After a long while, the Mermaid King crashed to the ground, its life force waning and its breath faint.
