The boundless blue sea was suddenly pierced by a white speck of light. The speck grew larger and larger, gradually transforming into a blue halo. Slowly, with a force that seemed capable of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth, it expanded to an unimaginable scale. Then, within the blue halo, various bizarre creatures began to appear.
Perhaps because it was at sea, what they encountered this time was entirely different from before.
Sea creatures.
Sharks with multiple heads, like those in cliché sci-fi movies, appeared in swarms, alongside all sorts of strangely shaped fish, mythical sea monsters akin to octopuses, severely mutated sea anemones, dolphins that were supposed to be cute but looked terrifying, and even some dragon-like beings. Compared to those from the previous world, these current "dragons" couldn't even be called dragons. Their appearances were grotesque and ugly, with oversized, malformed, and horrifying heads. Instead of scales, their bodies were covered in a toad-like, wrinkled skin, which bore unsightly large bumps, enough to cause psychological discomfort with a single glance.
In just a few minutes, the entire sea surface was covered with various bizarre creatures. They thrashed and leaped incessantly, lunging towards the people on the shore.
The people brought by Su Yanyun were all in a panic, but they immediately assumed a defensive stance, raising their weapons in preparation to attack.
Luan Yu couldn't help but remind them, "I'll try to stall these monsters for a while. You kill her. Once my energy recovers, I'll open a void and send them back. Otherwise, you can't kill them all. They'll replicate endlessly, without end."
Zhu Ran also didn't want to deal with these unsightly abominations.
Of course, before those two appeared, there would be fighting.
When the giant shark with five or six heads lunged onto the shore, the long sword in her hand flew out directly, splitting its six heads in half, three on each side. The blood gushing from the wounds dyed a large swathe of the "land" red.
These monsters, having just emerged, didn't seem as hungry and showed no interest in their fallen comrades' corpses, their sole focus being to kill people.
They charged forward one after another. Even though they saw their companions being cut into pieces, bleeding profusely, and losing their lives, not a single one retreated.
Zhu Ran gathered spiritual energy in her hand and directed it at the water. Instantly, a giant fish was blasted out. It trailed several fish tails behind it, and its body wasn't smooth skin but ugly, wrinkled flesh, as if it had lived in stagnant water for a long time. Green algae could even be seen on it, its body grotesquely indescribable.
A gust of wind swept by, and its body was split in two. Blood stained a small patch of the sea surface, immediately attracting more monsters. These monsters emerging from the sea shared a characteristic: unlike creatures living in fresh water, they possessed no cute aspects. They were both ugly and strange.
Most of them had that wrinkled skin, a deep green wrinkled skin blended with the moss attached to it, making them look like malevolent beasts imprisoned in the deep sea for their sins, as legends told, having been confined somewhere for a long time.
A giant sea anemone leaped out of the water. Aside from its shape, which still resembled a sea anemone, nothing else about it was akin to one. Its surface, which should have been semi-transparent, had turned a dark greenish-black. Its tentacles also became dark brown, whipping the water surface like whips, making loud cracking sounds.
Zhu Ran recalled her long sword and, with a flash, moved at a speed imperceptible to the eye, passing through its body, severing most of its tentacles, and simultaneously cutting through its specially structured body. The sea anemone instantly lost its combat ability and its ability to float. Its severely deformed body slowly sank into the sea.
Another shark leaped out, its massive tail smashing towards Luan Yu beside her. Luan Yu's expression changed. The shark in front of her rapidly swelled, then shriveled, rotted, and weathered away... Su Dan Novel Network
It wasn't alive.
She looked towards the sky not far away and shouted at Zhu Ran, "They aren't alive! Go kill that woman!"
With that, she gathered her last reserves of strength and formed a small void on the shore. The void slowly expanded, and the blue halo began to absorb the approaching异形 (yì xíng - strange shapes/aliens). The monsters, sensing danger, began to flee in all directions.
Zhu Ran also noticed the strangeness of these monsters. She leaped into the air, long sword in hand, and flew towards the two people who had been observing for a long time.
"Luan Yu" met her attack, wielding a scepter, while the other person looked for opportunities to sneak attack from the side. However, in a battle between deities, she had no chance and could only watch anxiously.
The long sword and the scepter collided with a "clang," both emitting intense light and resisting each other without yielding. Spiritual energy erupted from Zhu Ran's body, and the light on her long sword flared, pushing the scepter back with overwhelming force.
"Luan Yu" was also sent flying a considerable distance.
Zhu Ran's misty form drifted over like smoke, and she lunged with her sword towards "Luan Yu's" body.
"Luan Yu's" eyes widened abruptly. An invisible barrier appeared before her again. When the long sword struck the barrier, the barrier gained substance – a piece of white, glass-like material, slightly transparent. It resisted the long sword not with hardness, but with layers upon layers of space. The tip of the long sword twisted within those spaces, unable to advance another inch. However, this clearly consumed a great deal of energy; her face turned red, and her eyes became bloodshot.
As the two of them fought, the woman who had been watching finally saw her chance. She leaped into the air, and the spiritual energy she had gathered condensed into a light sword, charging towards Zhu Ran's back.
Without looking back, Zhu Ran retaliated with a gust of wind, slicing her light sword in half at the waist and sending her flying back along with it.
She somersaulted twice in mid-air, managing to stabilize herself, and looked at Zhu Ran with disbelief.
How could this be…
They had the exact same body, so why was she so powerful?
They were evenly matched before; now, she couldn't even get close.
Is this the power of the true body?
Why? This power should have belonged to both of them, so why could she possess it alone?
Deep unwillingness flickered in her eyes. She leaped into the air again, unleashing spiritual energy wildly, stirring up the seawater in the vast ocean. Towering waves charged directly at Zhu Ran, with countless sharp blades hidden within them.
"Luan Yu" sensed her intention and unleashed energy again to sneak attack Zhu Ran. Under the dual resistance, Zhu Ran was unable to multitask. In the end, several light blades from the waves struck her body.
She let out a muffled groan. Seeing the blood seeping from her body, her eyes suddenly turned red. The originally golden light transformed into red, and blackish-red mist coiled around her. Her aura surged, transforming from the divine power of the beginning to demonic power.
The red light flared intensely, and the white mirror before "Luan Yu" shattered with a roar. She was thrown back, struggling to stabilize herself. She couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and looked up at the person not far away, her gaze icy.
Kill her.
She must kill her!
