"Next time we meet, I'll kill you with a single strike."
Lin Mo coldly snorted.
"Mr. Lin, let's leave this place too. I feel a powerful force is about to awaken," Zhen Yuanzi Lian said. In fact, even without him saying it, Lin Mo could feel it too. An ancient, boundless aura was emanating from beneath the sea, a suffocatingly strong presence, at least equal to Golden Core and Sun Wheel Realm powers. But unlike humans, this aura was wild and intensely full of resentment, akin to an unparalleled
fierce beast.
Lin Mo glanced at the island of Duwu below his feet and shook his head.
"Why?" Zhen Yuanzi asked in confusion.
"There are over three thousand Huaxia people on Duwu Island. I can't just leave like this," Lin Mo said through clenched teeth, his voice deep.
Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "Mr. Lin, these people are just ordinary people, and yet you..."
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Mo's mouth, and he said lightly, "I understand what you're trying to say. The Cultivation World is incredibly cruel. When the strong battle, they can destroy an entire planet, eradicating billions of beings. Indeed, these people are insignificant."
"Then Mr. Lin, you..." Zhen Yuanzi asked, puzzled.
"I've already reached the stage of seeing heart and nature. I only know I cannot leave like this," Lin Mo said calmly. Zhen Yuanzi's face showed a look of shock. It is known that as one grows, external factors will more or less influence them, forming different personalities: some are righteous, some evil, some timid, and some lustful. But regardless of personality or demeanor, few truly
see their own nature.
Zhen Yuanzi did not expect that Lin Mo's Heart Realm had reached the stage of seeing heart and nature, clear as a mirror knowing what he desires and what he wishes to achieve.
Such a person is bound to achieve great things in the future.
"So terrifying..."
Those standing at the cave mouth looked towards the distant sea, and all turned as pale as paper with fear, some even wetting themselves.
Standing in the air, Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi watched as a giant head rose from the seawater, water cascading off it. The head, triangular and massive like a three-story building, gleamed with a dark red light. Dense scales covered the head, reflecting a metallic sheen, with wing-like fleshy spikes on its sides. Suddenly, it opened its mouth, revealing jagged, sharp fangs, connected by some unknown glistening liquid.
Even more striking were the two fiery red eyes on the head, as vivid as physalis in the dark, with vertical pupils that exuded a bloodthirsty and ruthless aura, glaring at Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi above Duwu Island. "Is that... the Sky-reaching Snake?" Lin Mo thought in awe.
The water curtains fell like cascading waterfalls. The enormous triangular head lifted high, rising from the water, its colossal dark red body surfacing like a building. Yet this was only a portion of it; another part remained hidden in the sea, its full height approximately three hundred meters, its cold red eyes looking down on Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi, small as ants.
The expressions of Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi turned grim, not from fear of the gigantic serpent head but from a disgust.
The serpent's underbelly was in a state of decay, a bloody mess, as if rotting for a long time. Even from a great distance, a nauseating stench could be detected.
Ordinary people outside the caves also turned pale at the sight of this giant sea creature, some even starting to retch uncontrollably.
Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop! At that moment, several other areas of the sea erupted in mighty roars, followed by several identical triangular heads surfacing. There were eight identical upside-down triangular heads that emerged, their fiery eyes seemingly filled with unending resentment, standing above the sea, the Sky-reaching Giant Snake raising all eight heads beneath the dark clouds, opening their mouths in bizarre roars.
"The Sky-reaching Snake, said to be Han Country's supreme fierce beast, looks similar to the Orochi from Japan but is ten times more ferocious. I never thought it truly existed," Lin Mo muttered to himself.
Oh!
A dark red triangular head uttered a strange sound, suddenly approaching Duwu Island. In the face of this giant beast, even the island seemed too small to contain its entire body.
Its fiery red eyes, as large as a three-story building, coldly surveyed Lin Mo. In its view, Lin Mo and Zhen Yuanzi were mere ants.
Boom!
Rumble!
A massive whirring sound erupted as the red head charged towards the island, a fierce wind pressure assaulting them.
It moved with astonishing speed, nearby features blurring into wind-eroded illusions. It was unimaginable that such a massive head could move with such speed.
"Beast. All of you retreat into the cave; without my command, do not come out."
Lin Mo roared with True Yuan, his voice echoing across the island.
The ordinary people gathered at the cave entrances gazed at Lin Mo standing in the air, understanding that this man intended to protect them.
"Vajra Angry Eyes!"
Lin Mo swiftly formed complex seal techniques with his hands. Zhen Yuanzi dared not slack off; he wanted to flee, but he had signed a Soul Contract with Lin Mo. If Lin Mo perished, he would also instantly disintegrate. Zhen Yuanzi immediately injected mana into Lin Mo because the magic Lin Mo knew was far more advanced. This perplexed Zhen Yuanzi greatly, as although he had cultivated longer, Lin Mo seemed to grasp far more sophisticated magic than he did.
"Vajra Angry Eyes, subdue the four demons."
Lin Mo opened his eyes wide in anger, golden light flashing within them. A colossal golden figure appeared, enveloping Lin Mo like a majestic Heavenly God descending, towering at a height of about a hundred meters, clad in golden armor, with fierce, wrathful eyes.
And Lin Mo stood on the chest of this giant golden figure at this moment.
Boom!
Lin Mo raised both arms, and the golden figure mirrored his action, lifting both arms to grasp the incoming triangular head.
Yet simultaneously, Lin Mo felt a powerful force surging in, making his whole body feel as if his insides were about to rupture. The giant golden shadow also trembled slightly, showing signs of potential collapse.
