However.
Just as he was about to enter the radiant light.
Suddenly, Ao Yuan seemed to sense something, stopped, and turned to look behind him.
Swish!
The next second, Ao Yuan's claw moved, immediately shooting out a golden light.
Where the golden light passed, the dense water flow was instantly split into two halves.
Bang bang!
Then, a violent collision sound was heard.
Buzz!
At this moment, the water surged, and a monstrous demon beast appeared before Ao Yuan.
This demon beast was entirely dark, blending in with the deep ocean.
But this darkness was clearly nothing to Ao Yuan.
He could see very clearly that it was a giant shark.
Its body was enormous, thirty to forty meters long, and covered in dark scales.
Especially its row of saw-like teeth, which gleamed a cold white in the darkness!
Upon closer inspection, one could still see patches of scarlet flesh clinging to the teeth, as if it had recently feasted.
"An undersea demon beast?"
Taking in everything about this demon beast, Ao Yuan let out a light snort, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Although his previous strike hadn't used much power, it wasn't something that could be blocked so easily.
This demon beast, however, had managed to block it with ease.
Ao Yuan had sensed the presence of demon beasts in the ocean before, but had never encountered one. This was his first time witnessing an oceanic demon beast after the spiritual energy had revived.
He had to admit, this oceanic demon beast was indeed massive, and the aura it exuded was far more potent than that of terrestrial demon beasts.
"Huh, its cultivation realm is close to breaking through the Spirit Sea realm."
Sensing it carefully, a look of surprise flashed in Ao Yuan's eyes.
The peak strength of the Spirit Sea realm was far greater than that of terrestrial demon beasts.
As expected of a creature that survived in the ocean.
And!
Ao Yuan searched through his memories of oceanic demon beasts from his previous life, but couldn't find any that matched this one.
How to put it.
This didn't seem like an oceanic demon beast currently existing on Blue Star. It was more like a prehistoric demon beast recorded on Blue Star!
"Truly an interesting find." Ao Yuan smiled. Since this demon beast existed in the ocean, there would inevitably be others similar to it.
However, after a brief observation, Ao Yuan stopped looking. His most important objective now was to find the Giant Demon and the Mummy, not to waste time here.
Moreover, this oceanic demon beast hadn't provoked him. It had cultivated for so long, it wasn't easy.
Ao Yuan had no intention of attacking it.
However.
Just as Ao Yuan turned to enter the radiant light, the demon beast suddenly moved, opening its cavernous maw and swimming towards Ao Yuan, seemingly intending to swallow him whole!
"Hmph!"
Well, this was something.
He hadn't intended to seek trouble, but this creature had come to him first.
Did it think he was easy to bully?
Ao Yuan's eyes turned cold, and without hesitation, he charged directly at the oceanic demon beast.
However, he didn't use his full strength, only a simple collision. He wanted to see just how thick the hide of this oceanic demon beast was!
Bang!
The two beasts collided, a deafening sound erupting in the seabed.
The seawater, centered around the two beasts, surged violently, sweeping hundreds of meters, like a sudden tornado rising in the ocean.
Even the sea surface was affected, with waves crashing like a tsunami.
This scene filled the people near this sea area with fear.
They thought some natural disaster had occurred.
Clack!
The collision between the two beasts was over in an instant.
Ultimately, Ao Yuan was still superior. In this collision, Ao Yuan sustained no injuries, but the oceanic demon beast trembled all over.
Finally, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of thick blood, its aura also weakening.
Ao Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at the undersea demon beast before him, a little surprised.
Although he had won this collision.
It was enough to show the extraordinary nature of this demon beast.
After all, what was Ao Yuan's cultivation realm, and what was this oceanic demon beast's realm?
It would be a miracle if Ao Yuan didn't win.
Given the vast difference in power, even if Ao Yuan hadn't released his spiritual energy, no creature could withstand pure physical strength.
This oceanic demon beast had actually endured it without dying.
"Again!"
Ao Yuan smiled, then took a step forward, intending to repeat the action.
He wanted to see just how powerful this demon beast truly was.
"Roar!"
However, this time, the oceanic demon beast seemed to know it was no match for Ao Yuan. It did not choose to collide with Ao Yuan again.
Instead, it opened its mouth and inhaled, creating a terrifying suction force that seemed to want to swallow Ao Yuan and the surrounding seawater into its belly!
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this, Ao Yuan burst into laughter.
"Gale!"
Ao Yuan waved his claws, and a nameless gale swept out.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The gale stirred up the seawater, forming a monstrous tsunami that surged towards the oceanic demon beast.
Bang!
The oceanic demon beast was pushed back a bit. The massive amount of seawater caused its entire body to swell, especially its abdomen, which looked like a pregnant woman.
"Roar!"
The oceanic demon beast let out a roar, then puffed up its chest and spat out the seawater in its belly as a concentrated water jet.
Despite being underwater, the water jet showed no signs of being affected and surged rapidly towards Ao Yuan.
The surrounding seawater offered no resistance to this water jet.
"It has this ability too?"
Ao Yuan's eyebrows shot up. "But this alone is not enough."
"I'll show you what true strength is!"
With a cold shout, Ao Yuan stood still, watching as the water jet drew closer.
When the water jet was less than five meters away from Ao Yuan.
Ao Yuan still didn't retreat, nor did he make any move.
But!
He slightly raised his dragon head, opened his mouth, and let out a roar that echoed through the seabed.
"Aow!"
The high-pitched dragon's roar, carrying a rolling dragon's might, shot out in all directions.
At this moment, the seawater surged as if the sea god was enraged.
The previously silent seabed reverberated with Ao Yuan's roar.
And all the oceanic demon beasts, visible or invisible, trembled in their hearts, feeling an urge to submit!
At this moment.
Ao Yuan was like a god.
"Roar!"
The oceanic demon beast before Ao Yuan trembled violently, its pupils contracting sharply, revealing a look of horror.
It dared not look directly at Ao Yuan, as if facing a god or a demon!
Bang!
The water jet before Ao Yuan instantly turned into dust and was dispersed by the surrounding seawater!
"Your strength is not bad, but you're still a bit short of defeating me."
Looking at the trembling oceanic demon beast, Ao Yuan did not kill it. He merely noted its aura and then directly plunged into the radiant light.
