Above the Black Sea, viscous dark waters surged, resembling a concentrated poison that instilled a sense of primal fear.
Black waves rose, towering a thousand feet high.
As the waves rose and fell, a massive blue-black shadow flickered in and out of view on the sea's surface.
Scales exuding an evil aura emitted a blue glow beneath the waves.
In an instant, the demonic body burst from the sea, leaping out along a colossal wave ten thousand feet high. It soared into the sky, its blood-red eyes oozing a corrosive secretion that ate away at everything in its path.
For a moment, it blotted out the sun and sky.
At the same time, a toad sleeping in the sea was flipped over by a giant wave.
Its pale white belly was exposed.
"Ribbit... ribbit..."
The toad rolled over, extremely displeased that its pleasant dream had been disturbed.
It looked around.
Its gaze fell upon the enormous dark shadow soaring into the sky.
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
It kicked its legs and paddled over.
The demon circling in midair stirred up wind and waves. It let out a furious roar.
The entire surface of the Black Sea began to tremble.
"Ribbit! Ribbit!"
The toad floated on the sea's surface, craning its neck to call out to the demon.
It seemed dissatisfied at being ignored.
Never mind a mere toad's croak – even a Shadow Wolf's howl would have been drowned out by the demon's roar at this moment.
It was completely inaudible.
But strangely enough, this insignificant little toad's croak somehow pierced through the demon's roar, reaching its ears with perfect clarity.
The demon in midair lowered its head, its blood-red eyes looking down at the toad.
A massive suspended entity and a tiny, barely visible creature floating on the Black Sea.
"Ribbit! Ribbit!" The toad stretched its neck and called out to the demon again, clearly expressing its displeasure.
The demon's form shifted, appearing directly above the toad.
"Little toad, you dare to shout at me?" A deep, oppressive voice emanated from the demon, filled with disdain and amusement.
"Yet, you haven't mutated on this Dark Shadow Island."
"Interesting."
As it spoke, a viscous liquid with a foul odor dripped from its eyes, landing squarely on the toad's body.
The toad, startled, quickly dove underwater and scrubbed its back vigorously.
"Ugh... ugh..."
"You're not even corroded by my saliva. You might make for an amusing plaything," the demon continued. "You don't seem to have much essence anyway."
The thick liquid kept dripping from its eyes, falling onto the toad's freshly scrubbed back.
"Once I devour this Dark Shadow Island's essence..."
But before it could finish speaking, a tongue as thin as a thread shot out from the toad's mouth with lightning speed, wrapping around the demon.
In the next moment, a suddenly appearing cavernous mouth swallowed it whole.
It happened at a speed invisible to the naked eye, over in an instant.
The demon in the sky died with its eyes wide open in disbelief.
But in the blink of an eye, it had vanished completely.
The surging waves of the Black Sea calmed.
All that remained was the toad, floating on the surface, retching non-stop.
It looked utterly disgusted, as if it wanted to vomit out its entire throat.
No, no, it needed to eat something else to get rid of this nauseating taste!
It paddled with its short legs, swimming towards the depths of the Black Sea.
In the distance, the terrified Jiang Zhi also noticed something amiss.
The roaring had ceased, and with it, the oppressive force had disappeared. She was astonished, her gaze uncertain.
However, in her current state, she had no way of understanding what had just transpired.
At the same time.
In a valley at the edge of the Black Sea, blocked by a barrier, a man sat cross-legged.
He was completely bald, but bore a black mark on his head.
It gave him a mysterious, otherworldly appearance.
Moreover, his strange face, smooth head, and exposed arms were covered in all manner of bizarre tattoos.
There were strange patterns and ugly, peculiar beasts.
At this moment, a frightening tattoo on his arm was gradually fading away.
His eyes suddenly snapped open – they had no pupils, only whites, terrifying and ghastly.
"Why has the demon's aura disappeared?!"
He spoke, looking down at his arm.
The tattoo of the demon that had been there was now gone.
The Bald Man was shocked. "The demon is dead!" he exclaimed. "What happened?"
He closed his eyes, trying to recall the demon's aura, but discovered that not only was the demon dead, he couldn't even locate its corpse... there wasn't a trace of its aura left!
ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
