"Ninth stage of the Nascent Soul Realm!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yuan's pupils contracted sharply. He saw a motionless clam in the corner, and the information fed back by the Samsara Eye made his heart tremble.
It was definitely at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, and not just a simple ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, because the clam gave him the feeling that it was not as simple as it appeared on the surface. In fact, there was an even more terrifying creature hidden inside the clam.
However, when he expressed his provocation, the clam did not react at all, as if nothing concerned it. This was somewhat good news, because Jiang Yuan did not currently intend to provoke a ninth-stage Nascent Soul Realm expert.
"You little shrimp, come and die!"
Seeing that no one else was joining the fight, the sea cucumber, seahorse, and lanternfish all attacked Jiang Yuan together. In this lawless prison abyss, there was no concept of bullying the weak or the many; only survival was the eternal truth.
Under the influence of the power of the Nine Netherworlds of the Sea, all three sea creatures used their physical strength without exception. However, Jiang Yuan still saw through the trick. The lanternfish contained extremely mysterious deep-sea secrets, which might be its killing move.
But Jiang Yuan was fearless in the face of either physical strength or the profound mysteries of the deep sea.
"Supreme Power Rune - Ultimate Power!"
Although the Eternal Dharma Form was restricted, preventing the Supreme Power Pattern from being fully unleashed, Jiang Yuan was someone who had fused with the Infinite Star Core. His power could easily exceed 100 million tons, which was incomparable to those who relied on their acquired physical bodies.
"Secret of the heart!"
His heart was pounding, his strength fluctuated, and Jiang Yuan struck each blow at the peak of his power, releasing his ultimate strength in the most perfect way.
The first punch was delivered to the incredibly fast seahorse. The seahorse, confident in its speed, wanted to gain the upper hand immediately. However, it clearly did not expect that Jiang Yuan's speed would be just as fast. Having mastered the "Word of Movement" and the profound mysteries of space and time, Jiang Yuan punched the seahorse. The seahorse, in turn, kicked Jiang Yuan with its extremely explosive tail.
Judging from the battle footage, the two should have been evenly matched, but the result was quite surprising.
The seahorse, which had been aggressively trying to strike first, had its flesh pierced through by Jiang Yuan's punch. Its own attacks, however, were like tickles to Jiang Yuan, having no effect whatsoever.
That's it?
Jiang Yuan smiled faintly. His physical universe was capable of directly confronting a Nascent Soul Realm expert, so naturally he wouldn't be intimidated by the sea race whose power was partially sealed.
The seahorse vomited blood, and its gaze towards Jiang Yuan had completely changed. The previous contempt was gone, replaced only by fear.
This is no weak mermaid; it's a giant sea monster whose power far surpasses that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
"Let's do it!"
The ancient sea cucumber activated its innate talent, and countless strands of wood curled towards the river, a testament to its natural ability to entwine.
However, Jiang Yuan didn't want to deal with the ten-thousand-year-old sea cucumber at the moment. He needed to get rid of the seahorse completely, otherwise, once it recovered, its speed would cause him great trouble.
"I heard that soaking seahorses in alcohol is an aphrodisiac, so I'll test its effects on you today!" Jiang Yuan revealed a devilish smile. He ignored the attacks of the ancient sea cucumber and focused solely on the dying seahorse that was trying to escape.
Upon hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the seahorse's last remaining fighting spirit vanished. What kind of demonic being was this? He actually wanted to use it to make medicinal wine.
Water Release!
The seahorse was about to run away, but a sudden burst of soul energy interrupted its actions; it was a soul secret mastered by Jiang Yuan.
"Ancient God!"
The power of the Eight Gates opened a gap, and the surging physical and cosmic power propelled the Ancient God Fist, which slammed into the seahorse's body in an instant.
With a whoosh, a huge wave surged up from the seabed. The power of the instant burst out of the water and was released outward in the form of waves. The seahorse, which had been so spirited just moments before, was swept away by the wave like a dead dog, and was nearly dead after being hit by the force of the punch.
However, although the seahorse was seriously injured, Jiang Yuan himself was also in bad shape. Putting aside the backlash, the attacks launched against him by the ancient sea cucumber and the lanternfish penetrated the surface and injured his internal organs.
"First door—open it!"
The first gate of the Eight Gates opened first, and Jiang Yuan tried to sever the entangled vines of the ancient sea cucumber with his bare hands. However, the two talents of the opponent complemented each other. The sea cucumber entanglement was responsible for trapping the enemy, while the infinite energy provided the sea cucumber with a continuous source of life force. Jiang Yuan was immediately restrained.
Entangled, the lanternfish opened its blood-red maw, trying to swallow Jiang Yuan whole. Its sharp teeth, gleaming with a cold light, were comparable to weapons at the Nascent Soul level. Even Jiang Yuan, who had opened his physical universe, would not be able to escape unscathed from those sharp teeth.
"You think you can make me, Jiang Yuan, submit with such paltry tricks!"
Jiang Yuan grinned. Almost simultaneously, his two great cave heavens opened under the pressure of the Nine Netherworlds, and his physical universe was released once again.
"Eight Gates - Ancient God Fist!"
