This was the first time Fang Han had seen a spirit monster transform into a demon!
And it was a behemoth like the Black Water King Snake, a prehistoric alien species.
Wave after wave of majestic demonic energy and fishy scent transmitted out, the windstorm on the sea was fierce, a violent gale whistled, ghosts and gods howled. If there were sailing ships passing by at this time, the people on the ship would probably be scared to death alive!
Before living beings cultivated magic power, they could only be called spirit monsters! Like the Crane Immortal, who could use immense spirit to create various illusions to confuse ordinary people; this was merely called a "spirit monster," or what ordinary people called "having become a spirit"!
But if the Crane Immortal could cultivate to the Divine Ability Realm! Converting her spirit into magic power! Then she would "become a demon"! She would be a true demon.
Spirit monster, demon. Two different levels, just like the Physical Body Realm and the Divine Ability Realm.
Although the Crane Immortal had followed Fang Han and eaten many pills, obtaining endless benefits, and had been enlightened by Jialan, without an extraordinary encounter, it would take at least sixty years for her to transform into a demon and step into the Divine Ability Realm. During these sixty years, she would also have to consume spiritual pills every day to make her flesh and blood pure and free of impurities.
So this time Fang Han did not bring the Crane Immortal out. In the vast ocean, the Crane Immortal could not help much and would instead become a burden.
The Black Water King Snake was currently in the center of the storm and waterspout. Fang Han used his true qi to fly closer, stopping tens of miles away. He could see it even more clearly.
Every scale on this giant python's body was the size of a washbasin. Now all of them were standing up, the reverse scales like knives, fierce and hideous.
Especially that bloody maw, it could easily swallow even an elephant. It was a true "snake swallowing an elephant," without the slightest falsehood.
The dense fangs inside that bloody maw were as long as ivory and incomparably sharp; one could imagine what the outcome would be if bitten! Fang Han knew that the fangs of this Black Water King Snake were ten times better than Asura bone spurs. If obtained by an expert of the Heaven-Man Realm, cast into various grand arrays, and refined with magic power, they could even be forged into treasure artifact-level flying swords!
After such a massive Black Water King Snake transformed into a flood dragon, how formidable would its magic power be?
Just getting close to this Black Water King Snake, Fang Han felt that the other party's magic power was more than a full time stronger than his own. After condensing true qi, he already had the strength of six hundred fiery horses, while this Black Water King Snake already had over a thousand.
If this Black Water King Snake learned divine abilities, condensed true qi, and entered the second stage, the True Origin Realm, like Fang Han, how formidable would its magic power be? Three thousand fiery horse power? Five thousand fiery horse power?
However, monsters like the Black Water King Snake, even if they stepped into the Divine Ability Realm, had no chance to cultivate divine abilities unless they were collected by people from the Five Demonic Sects.
But before that, it would certainly be subjected to the prying eyes of many cultivators. Advancing to the Divine Ability Realm and achieving demonhood was the most dangerous time; without the protection of a sect, basically seven or eight out of ten would meet an unforeseen disaster.
The commotion was too great, too easy to attract prying eyes.
At this time, the Black Water King Snake in the center of the storm also seemed to sense the danger. It "saw" the approach of Fang Han and the others, and its calls became sharper and fiercer. Waves of spirit transmitted out, creating various illusions, seemingly to scare off Fang Han, the demoness, Long Xuan, and any hidden pryers.
But this was of no use; experts of the Divine Ability Realm didn't care about illusions at all.
Moreover, at this time, this Black Water King Snake was at the most crucial moment of its transformation. It could not flee, let alone give up halfway; otherwise, its spirit would collapse, and it would immediately turn into an idiot, a vegetative snake.
"Let's wait! Wait for this Black Water King Snake to completely convert its spirit into magic power and transform into a flood dragon! Then act immediately! Should I intercept the hidden figure, or will you?"
Long Xuan suddenly parted the water curtain and moved closer to Fang Han's side. The demoness cast a concealment talisman, and the three of them disappeared into the water curtain storm, thoroughly hiding their auras, sounds, and forms.
"What do you think, Long Xuan?" Fang Han asked.
"This Black Water King Snake is of great use to you, but I don't need it. Furthermore, I consumed a Yin-Yang Myriad Life Pill, increasing my lifespan by six hundred years; I have plenty of time to cultivate slowly. You only have ten years, and cannot delay even a bit. I will help you block the hidden figure; you wait for the moment this Black Water King Snake transforms into a flood dragon, and strike suddenly. Kill it and collect it. Do you have a magic treasure to collect such a large king snake?"
Long Xuan's voice reached Fang Han's ears; it was a sound transmission using magic power.
"Okay, I won't be polite then. Demoness, you help Long Xuan and defend in secret. If I gain benefits, I won't short you yours." Hearing that Long Xuan was willing to yield the Black Water King Snake to him, Fang Han did not stand on ceremony. He indeed needed many resources now to enhance his strength. As for Long Xuan, she could cultivate slowly; her days were still long.
From this point, it could also be seen that Long Xuan was an understanding person.
"Good! It's about to start transforming into a flood dragon!"
A massive roar made Fang Han focus all his attention on that Black Water King Snake. At this time, the storm became even more violent, and surging magic power emanated from the Black Water King Snake's body.
On the head of this giant sea python, two large fleshy lumps bulged out. Subsequently, a series of hard shells swelled up, and it actually grew two coral-like horns over a zhang long!
At the same time, the magic power on the Black Water King Snake's body abruptly dissipated. The tornado-like storm lost the support of magic power and vanished fiercely. Hundreds of thousands of catties of seawater fell from the sky into the ocean, pouring down like heavy rain.
"Now is the moment!"
At this time, Fang Han did not hesitate! He grabbed forward with his hand, and the "Wood Sovereign True Qi" surged out, transforming into a giant green log, smashing toward this Black Water King Snake that had just transformed into a flood dragon.
To deal with this kind of sea dragon, ordinary flying swords were completely useless, but Fang Han's "Green Emperor Wood Sovereign Art," transforming into a giant log to knock the opponent unconscious with one blow, was perfectly suited for dealing with colossal creatures.
The speed of the giant green log was extremely fast. Although it didn't surpass sound, it covered the distance of tens of miles in a blink of an eye! It smashed viciously onto the Black Water King Snake's body. This sea dragon let out a tragic roar and fell to the ocean surface. It shook its head, seemingly knocked dizzy.
This was because it had just transformed into a flood dragon and wasn't quite sure how to use its magic power yet. Also, it was weak to the extreme; otherwise, with its vigorous magic power, even in a one-on-one fight, Fang Han wouldn't be able to take it down.
"Wood Sovereign Silk Conversion, Heaven and Earth Net!" Seeing this situation, Fang Han moved rapidly. He now had rich practical combat experience and knew how to utilize his true qi. After that giant green log knocked the Black Water King Snake over, it suddenly transformed into a large net, covering downwards.
"Trying to pick up a cheap bargain dare you!"
Right at this moment, suddenly, not far away on the sea surface, a black shadow fiercely popped up. Fang Han only felt an air current vibrate; as that person flew, a circle of milky-white air currents was produced around them—a sonic boom!
This was a bizarre visual formed by speed surpassing sound and leaving the sound behind.
"Cold Hornless Dragon!" Long Xuan had long been waiting; the Cold Hornless Dragon Sword flew out for the kill, colliding directly with that figure.
"Hmph! Not knowing life from death!"
The figure didn't make much of a move, vaguely grabbing and slapping, and the Cold Hornless Dragon Sword actually flew back backward.
But this figure, following like a shadow, as fast as lightning and ghosts, flashed continuously in the air, approaching Long Xuan and the demoness, delivering two palm strikes through the void.
Pop pop!
The speed was too fast!
Before Long Xuan and the demoness could react, they were hit by the two palm strikes, let out screams, and fell towards the sea surface.
This figure then abruptly turned and pounced toward Fang Han.
Fang Han only saw that the opponent was still miles away, but with one pounce, profound gang qi had already enveloped his entire body.
"Not good! This is at least an expert of the third realm of the Divine Ability sequence, the Origin Gang Realm, who has already converted true qi into gang qi…"
