Eternal Life: Hundredfold Rewards

Chapter 602 - 331: Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast, Blue Tide Mother!

It’s also someone you don’t want to mess with.

"Wait for a moment, it’s not midnight yet."

Qi Chuan looked up at the sky, the azure sky was spotless without a single cloud.

If it’s like this at night, then there won’t be any clouds to cover the moon.

However, this is the depths of the sea, where the weather changes as quickly as a flip of the hand. Not to mention nighttime, even the weather in the next hour is unpredictable.

Immediately, Qi Chuan sat cross-legged, the gentle Great True Monarch’s magical power rippling on his body surface.

Moments later, his figure and aura disappeared from the reef, as if he had never been there.

Waves surged, clouds came and went.

Quickly, night fell, and the stars shone faintly in the sky.

The romantic breeze grew stronger, and the ocean seemed to have a hint of anger.

At this moment, this sea area is not a place an ordinary sea vessel can completely leave.

However, Qi Chuan looked up at the sky.

A bright moon hung high, still without a single cloud.

"Let’s wait a few more days."

Qi Chuan shook his head and closed his eyes again.

As a Great True Monarch, he had the patience for a few days.

In a blink of an eye, another three days passed.

Finally, on this night’s midnight, Qi Chuan saw massive clouds rolling in from the horizon, covering both the moon and stars.

"It’s finally here!"

"But will that Blue Tide Mother appear?"

Qi Chuan’s eyes revealed a hint of anticipation.

He waited for another quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, Qi Chuan saw countless green dots lighting up one after another in the vast sea ahead, forming a vast, eerie glow over the ocean.

"This is..."

Qi Chuan looked toward the sea in front of him, where there were also a dozen green dots in the water.

Qi Chuan had excellent eyesight.

He saw clearly that these were not just green dots, but the eyes of a dozen peculiar one-eyed monstrous fish, ugly and fierce, their bodies covered with crocodile-like scales rather than typical fish scales.

These one-eyed monstrous fish were gulping the surrounding seawater as if there was something in it they needed.

Screech!

At that moment, a sharp cry pierced the sky.

A sea night predator the size of a human head appeared in the air before Qi Chuan, screeching as it transformed into a black arrow, piercing into the sea ahead. It grabbed two one-eyed monstrous fish with its claws and held another in its beak before flapping its wet black wings and flying upwards.

Boom!

Suddenly, it seemed to crash into an invisible wall of air on this reef, dazed and dropping all three one-eyed monstrous fish back into the sea.

When it managed to fly up again, it glanced at the "air" it crashed into and hurriedly flew away.

Qi Chuan looked at this scene speechlessly.

But just then, he suddenly looked up at the sky in front of him.

In the heavens, another "cloud" flew over, with sharp bird cries emanating from it. As it came nearer, it was clear that these were not clouds, but more sea night predators.

These night predators swooped down like dark clouds, diving into the sea, using their beaks or claws to grab the one-eyed monstrous fish.

These one-eyed monstrous fish were clearly part of the sea night predators’ diet.

Qi Chuan watched this scene with keen interest.

However, at this moment, his heart started pounding rapidly.

"It’s here?"

His expression changed as he looked at a certain spot under the sea ahead.

There, a faint blue glow appeared, slowly rising to the surface.

Gradually, a giant silhouette appeared in Qi Chuan’s sight.

At the same time, an invisible, terrifying pressure emanated from the giant blue silhouette.

"This is... the pressure of a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast!"

Qi Chuan’s expression turned serious.

It seems that the enormous blue silhouette in the sea is undoubtedly the Blue Tide Mother.

The giant blue silhouette swam through the sea, ignoring the surrounding one-eyed monstrous fish.

Bang! Bang!

However, transparent, pale blue venomous stingers suddenly shot out from the sea surface, each precisely striking one of the sea night predators in the sky, killing them instantly.

Afterward, these venomous stingers retracted into the sea, dragging the night predator corpses back into the enormous blue silhouette.

"Is the Blue Tide Mother... feeding?"

Qi Chuan observed this scene with astonishment.

Logically, witnessing such a brutal scene of hunting, those sea night predators should flee in panic.

Yet the reality was quite different.

The numerous sea night predators seemed to ignore the giant blue silhouette in the sea and the scenes of their kind being hunted by the pale blue stingers, continuing to busily catch the one-eyed monstrous fish.

Such a scene was obviously very strange.

However, Qi Chuan pondered another question at this moment.

"Should I make a move?"

Qi Chuan’s face showed contemplation.

The Blue Tide Mother had venomous stingers sharp as spears, each containing deadly venom.

If hit, even the Great True Monarch might fall.

Also, the Blue Tide Mother’s body had a unique characteristic, like a sponge, absorbing most of the force, making it incredibly hard to kill.

Entangling it would be a tough battle even for the Great True Monarch.

"I am a Sword Cultivator, capable of using Human-Sword Unity, so I won’t get hit by those stingers."

"As for it being hard to kill, then I’ll take more time to kill it!"

"And if it tries to entangle, I’m not afraid. I’ll just escape at high speed if danger arises..."

After considerable thought, as midnight was passing and both the one-eyed monstrous fish and night predators were decreasing, determination sparkled in his eyes.

This was his first battle since ascending to the Great True Monarch.

This battle needed no assistance.

It was the perfect opportunity to verify his strength against a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast, the Blue Tide Mother!

Having made up his mind, Qi Chuan acted without hesitation.

Opening his mouth, a blue stream of light shot forth, transforming into a wide, long flying sword with a flicker.

Simultaneously, the concealment magic on Qi Chuan’s body was lifted by him.

After all, the Blue Tide Mother was a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast.

If Qi Chuan stayed motionless, he might remain undetected.

Once he moved, though, even maintaining invisibility and concealment would fail, undoubtedly alerting the Blue Tide Mother.

Whoosh!

Indeed.

The moment Qi Chuan summoned the Sea Level Sword, the giant blue silhouette in the sea moved.

On the sea surface, the pale blue venomous stingers retracted rapidly, whether they had caught night predators or not.

Below the surface, the waters surged.

The giant blue silhouette dimmed swiftly, becoming almost transparent, while rapidly diving deeper.

Seeing this scene, Qi Chuan was momentarily taken aback.

Despite his lengthy deliberation before deciding to act, he didn’t expect this Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast, the Blue Tide Mother, to be more frightened than him.

At the slightest unanticipated incident, it immediately sought to hide and escape.

Moreover, it seemed that the Blue Tide Mother had relevant innate divine techniques, making it difficult for even Qi Chuan to find its true form once it fully concealed itself.

"Trying to escape?"

"Stay here for me!"

"Can’t you have some semblance of a Tier Four Upper Grade Demon Beast?"
