Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Jade Emperor

All the colours in the world returned as everyone regained their ability to move. A loud splash suddenly appeared as the Great White Demon Shark that had its fins cut off by Huang Yu for Shark Fin soup screamed in agony.

"MY FINS! WHAT HAPPENED TO THEM?!?!?!"

That roar from the Great White Demon Shark King stopped the advance of every Spirit Master and spirit beast in the vicinity.

Shock filled their expressions as they watched blood taint the ocean waters red. An expression of greed appeared on the visages of every spirit beast there, wanting to get a chance to eat a hundred-thousand-year old beast, but all of them, including the whale king, stayed their hand.

The Great White Demon Shark King seemed to be very badly injured, but it's pure attack power hadn't been lowered. Only its agility had. If anyone were to try and kill it now, the attacker would definitely suffer terrible drawbacks even if they did kill it.

Standing next to Huang Yu, Gu Yue looked at the Great White Demon Shark King's agony with a pleased expression.

'Serves it right.'

Huang Yu noticed this and raised an eyebrow. He had been expecting a look of shock to appear on Gu Yue's face, not this.

Elder Cai sneered seeing the condition the shark king was in despite feeling shock at how it had been injured. Nevertheless, she was a Titled Douluo and adaptability was her middle name.

"I'll give you one more chance," barked Elder Cai. "Those fins of yours will be taken as punishment for trying to attack us. If you don't want to lose any more, get out of our way now!"

Elder Cai at this moment looked completely different from her old and aging self. With her three-word battle armour equipped, it seemed as if youth had returned to her as she morphed into a devastating beauty. She hovered in the sky gripping a silver scepter crowned with a disc akin to the silver moon in her right hand.

Both Huang Yu and Gu Yue had deadpanned expressions on their face when they heard Elder Cai's words.

'Aren't Titled Douluos supposed to be proud? Since when did they feel completely comfortable in taking credit for the things they didn't do?'

Clearly, both of them didn't give a crap about Elder Cai's transformation from an old lady to a beautiful youth.

Deep within the water, a deep and guttural voice sounded. "Leave her to me. Great White Shark King, stop the bleeding and attack the others."

The next instant, a figure burst out through the water in the distance. The sky around them trembled, azure raging through its expanse. The ocean swelled up to swallow the sky. To those on board the two sh.i.p.s, it looked as if the ocean engulfed the entire world.

Through the water's surface, the figure appeared to be a human male. However, that similarity only held true for his upper body. His lower body consisted of twelve kraken-like tentacles.

Looking at the battle of auras between Elder Cai's younger form and the tentacle man, Huang Yu really couldn't help but feel as if this was going to turn out to become a bad hent— cultured story plot.

Beside Tang Wulin, Mu Ye blurted out, "A Great Beast?"

Expressions of abject horror filled the faces of the students in the Shrek Academy Group. What was a Great Beast? They were all spirit beasts with over two-hundred-thousand years of cultivation!

There were ten of them, making them the Ten Great Beasts, and they had once shocked the world with their strength when they fought against Huo Yuhao.

The strongest out of all of them was the Beast God, the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, and possessed a cultivation level of over eight-hundred-thousand years!

However, Huang Yu had already sensed Di Tian's strength, and to be honest, it wasn't anything much to him. If he wanted to, he could play Di Tian like a little puppy and Di Tian probably couldn't even do anything to resist.

That was the difference between Huang Yu, who currently had the at least the battle power of a God Officer and everyone else that wasn't a god.

Hence, Huang Yu didn't really put this Great Beast that had appeared in front of him in his eyes. He just pretended to show a look of horror so that the others didn't feel embarrassed.

He was such a nice guy, wasn't he?

It was at this moment that the tentacle guy and the whale king took a glance at the area where the shark king had attacked previously.

Naturally, they both saw Huang Yu as well, understanding flashing in their eyes before it turned into greed.

The tentacle man had the higher cultivation, so naturally he moved first. He morphed into a colossal kraken before a large tentacle stabbed towards Huang Yu's direction, hoping to capture him.

Unfortunately, Elder Cai and all the other Titled Douluos on the ship had already learned their lesson. They intercepted the attack of the tentacle, fierce battle breaking out in the process.

The whale king and shark king also had their hands full at the moment, as many powerhouses blocked their way.

As the multitude of spirit beasts attacked the barriers the ship had set up, Wu Zhangkong snorted before his spirit rings shone behind his back.

A portion of the vast sea was instantly frozen, trapping many ten-thousand-year old beasts as well as allowing Spirit Masters to have solid ground to stand on in order to fight against the marine spirit beasts.

The ship's barriers were soon broken as a multitude of marine spirit beasts attacked the hull of the ship. Holes were left directly upon the ship's hull, water surging into every opening.

"Attention all spirit masters. Attention all spirit masters. We are currently being attacked by a swarm of marine spirit beasts. We request that you help defend the ship and prevent us from sinking. Please immediately engage the spirit beasts and stop further attacks on the hull."

Letting out a sigh, Huang Yu turned to Gu Yue the same time she turned to him. Their gazes met for a few moments before they both smiled.

It was a unanimous decision that tonight was going to be a seafood buffet.

[Sword Grow]

[Sword Shrink]

Huang Yu continuously used his third spirit ring ability as his martial spirit repeatedly severed the fins of many demon sharks.

Unlike the Great White Demon Shark King, the cultivations of the other sharks weren't that great so they were helpless to resist a watery grave the moment their fins were cut.

Despite this, it was painfully obvious to everyone that more or less all of the spirit beasts there were trying to target Huang Yu.

Unfortunately, that was the wrong choice.

Taking a step back to avoid the jaws of a ten-thousand-year old demon shark, Huang Yu swung his sword in an upward arc, severing its head from its body.

Blasting it aside with [Repulsion], Huang Yu charged forward toward multiple abyssal demon whales as they met a swift end under Huang Yu's ferocious sword strikes.

His usage of the sword was swift and elegant as no spirit beast that entered his kill zone was spared. For some reason, the spray of blood of the spirit beasts seemed beautiful in a way when Huang Yu was the one who drew it.

Ye Xinglan, who was a very talented sword user in her own right, almost gaped in awe when she saw this.

Huang Yu's skill in the sword was insane, far surpassing her own. In fact, his skills in the sword were far superior to anyone she had ever seen using it before.

Nonetheless, she didn't allow herself to be too distracted as she swept through the spirit beasts like a raging hurricane.

Yuanen, Yue Zhengyu and Xie Xie were working together rather well in dispatching the spirit beasts. Xu Lizhi and Xu Xiaoyan were stationed more to the back as they pumped out support abilities to help the others.

Tang Wulin was fighting very well as a black spirit ring appeared behind him, causing even Gu Yue to take a double-take. A phantom miniature Tyrant Dragon appeared atop of Tang Wulin's head before his Bluesilver Overlord, which was a transformation of the Bluesilver Emperor that he had obtained recently, entangled many spirit beasts.

As for Gu Yue, well she was having a blast slaughtering those sharks. With the elemental staff in her hand and the Renewal Taekwondo that she learned from Huang Yu, every beast below the ten-thousand-year old level was blasted into bloody bits.

Even a ten-thousand-year old beast could only barely resist a bit before it would be torn to shreds by Gu Yue's ingenious usage of the elements.

There was no mercy although they were her fellow brethren. These beasts were under the command of the Sea God so she held no love for them.

It was at this moment that a seventy-thousand-year old abyssal demon whale chose to make itself known. Drawn by the strange coercion to Huang Yu's body, it charged at him, causing shouts of alarm to him.

Despite this, Huang Yu and Gu Yue were completely calm. Gu Yue had already seen a portion of Huang Yu's strength so a small fry like that shouldn't bother him.

A smile appeared on Huang Yu's face, he jumped up, dodging the charge of the demon whale as he landed on its back. Before it could even react, Huang Yu placed a finger on its head.

[High-Frequency Vibrations]

The cranium of the abyssal shark was instantly fractured as it quickly died due to internal bleeding. Huang Yu jumped back before he turned to look at the battle between the Titled Douluos and the hundred-thousand-year old beasts. His hands weren't kept still however as he still left a trail of carnage wherever he went.

Xiao Chen and Romario were there doing battle as well. Their martial spirits were Kabbalah and Asura respectively.

Xiao Chen's Kabbalah, along with her other spirit ring abilities were very defensive in nature despite the terrifying strength she had within her small frame. Her protection played a pivotal part in preventing damage to many Titled Douluos.

On the other hand, Romario's Asura martial spirit was extremely offensive. He could reflect multiple attacks back to the spirit beasts, as well as transform multiple parts of his body to achieve greater combat effectiveness.

The battle quickly came to a close when Mu Ye, who turned out to be the leader of the Body Sect, decided to come out and fight. With his powerful four-word battle armour and his divine mecha, the kraken was easily knocked down.

Snarling loudly, the kraken waved its tentacles before expelling a mass of inky fog. Meanwhile, the spirit beasts, even the ones under a bloodl.u.s.t to kill Huang Yu, seemed to be snapped out of their frenzy as they suddenly retreated into the inky fog.

Within the murk, the kraken had a look of greed in its eyes. It had suffered a major loss on this day, but as long as it could get the red-haired boy with the special body, it would all be worth it.

However, it wouldn't be easy. Its tentacles would be too slow to grasp him before Mu Ye and the others reacted. Hence, it would have to strategize.

Blue beams were quickly charged from all eight of its eyes as it aimed at the red-haired boy that it was already considering his meal, and the icy floor he had been standing on.

Unexpectedly, the boy it had been aiming at seemed to be staring directly at it despite the murky fog in the way at this moment, causing it great amounts of shock.

The Great Beast saw a sneer appear on the face of the red-haired boy before a loud snort abruptly sounded in its head.

A thousand thunderbolts seemed to instantly explode within its head, causing it an unimaginable amount of pain.

The kraken wanted to open its mouth to scream, but for some reason, it just couldn't. It felt as if the pause button was suddenly pressed on it as despite its best efforts, it just couldn't move.

It was at this moment that this spirit beast which belonged in the ranks of the Ten Great Beasts heard words that would haunt it throughout the rest of its life.

"Y'know, you won't die if you don't court death, little beast."
