Chapter 384
Black Tortoise, what you said makes sense!
Vermilion Bird said with a grim expression.
Look at that eight-headed monster. Whether its the size, appearance, or abilities, its completely different from the beings in our world. Its very likely that it comes from another world.
Its strength is comparable to ours, perhaps even slightly weaker than ours. We cant break through the barriers between worlds to travel to other realms, so how could that demon do it? Therefore, its highly probable that theres a powerful entity behind it!
Also, consider its abilities and its location arent they specifically targeting Azure Dragon? So, I boldly speculate that there might be a powerful entity eyeing our world, and thus, theyve thrown this monster over here to act as a pawn!
White Tiger became anxious: If the enemy can break through worlds and send this monster over, their strength must be formidable, possibly having reached the realm of an Earthly Immortal! Combined, our strength might just barely be enough to battle an Earthly Immortal! But what if the enemy is even stronger than us? What do we do then?
Azure Dragon sighed: What else can we do? If the enemy comes, we meet them head-on! Born with the fortune of heaven and earth, we have the duty to protect it! If it actually happens, we can only do our best!
Azure Dragon, when that eight-headed monster is reborn, dont rush to kill it. Lets capture it and interrogate it thoroughly. Perhaps we can learn something valuable. Only by knowing our enemies can we fight without danger! Black Tortoise suggested.
Understood, but Ill need your help when the time comes! That creature is strong. Its not easy to kill, let alone capture! Azure Dragon replied.
Of course! the other holy beasts nodded in agreement.
Then, with heavy hearts, they departed.
Only Azure Dragon remained in the East Sea, vigilantly monitoring the marine domain.
Just one day later, the water demon beast was reborn.
Before it could react, the Four Holy Beasts immediately surrounded it and launched an assault.
In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the water demon beast was riddled with wounds.
Then, it was tightly coiled by Azure Dragons massive body, unable to move.
Azure Dragon demanded, Speak. What is your name, and from which world do you come?
The water demon beast only roared in response.
Vermilion Bird pressed, Who sent you? What is your purpose here?
The water demon beast roared again.
Black Tortoise threatened, Dont think about hiding the truth or lying. We have many methods we havent used yet! If you dont cooperate, well have to resort to different measures, very harsh and violent ones!
The water demon beast continued to roar.
White Tiger warned, Stop roaring. Believe it or not, I can make you vanish from existence?
The water demon beast roared yet again.
The Four Holy Beasts:
Stop asking for now! Its clear that this creature hasnt learned its lesson and remains defiant! Now, let me teach it a lesson. Azure Dragon, entangle him!
Azure Dragon roared and coiled its body tightly around the beast.
Then accidentally, he strangled the newly reborn water demon beast to death.
How could you kill it, Azure Dragon? We hadnt gotten any information yet! the three holy beasts questioned.
Azure Dragon sheepishly smiled: My apologies, my friends. It had just been reborn and was at reduced strength, so I accidentally crushed it! But no worries, according to his recovery speed, he will be alive again by the second day, and we can interrogate him then!
On the second day, as expected, the water demon beast was reborn.
Just as it had grown a new head, Azure Dragon coiled around it once more.
Azure Dragon demanded, Speak. What is your name, and where do you come from?
Water Demon Beast: Roar roar roar!
Vermilion Bird: Who sent you here? What is your purpose for coming here? What are you trying to do?
Water Demon Beast: Roar roar roar!
Black Tortoise: Is it us youre after? Do you want to dominate this world? Let me tell you, dont even think about lying. We have many methods we havent used yet! If you dont cooperate, well have to resort to violence!
Water Demon Beast: Roar roar roar!
White Tiger: Stop roaring. Can you do anything other than roar?
Water Demon Beast: Roar roar roar!
Four Holy Beasts:
The Azure Dragon, angered, once again subdued the opponent.
The interrogation continued on the third day.
And again on the fourth day.
Over and over, the Water Demon Beast felt so wronged it just wanted to cry.
What kind of karma had it brought upon itself?
It had finally been released from its seal, ready to have a good time and vent the anger of being imprisoned for so many years, only to be beaten half to death by some mysterious powerhouse and end up here.
Just when it had recovered, it was targeted by these four strange creatures.
Then, they killed it over and over again.
All it wanted was to live. Was that so wrong?
Even if it was wrong, what exactly had it done to make everyone reject it so?
It hadnt done anything at all!
I think its probably because its not intelligent enough to understand the cause and effect of the situation, so it cant answer our questions, Black Tortoise concluded with a frown.
Roar roar roar the Water Demon Beast nodded repeatedly.
Finally, someone understood its feelings. It wasnt easy.
Vermilion Bird felt a chill in her heart: This must be deliberate! The hidden hand behind the scenes doesnt want to reveal their motives and whereabouts, so theyve thrown this monster at us! The mastermind is meticulous and keeps a low profile!
The other Holy Beasts nodded in agreement, feeling wary in their hearts.
Since we cant get anything out of it and this monster is clearly useless, what do we do now, kill it? White Tiger asked.
But we cant kill it Its a headache Azure Dragon said, troubled.
He had already killed it several times, and each time, it came back to life with full of vigor, leaving him without a solution.
Yet, it stayed in his Eastern Sea, so he couldnt just ignore it.
I do have a method!
Black Tortoise said: Since we cant kill it, lets freeze it! Without access to water, it wont be able to recover!
But ordinary ice probably wont hold this monster!
Black Tortoise continued: With the power of heaven and earth, there should be no problem. Please assist me!
Thus, the Four Holy Beasts combined their powers and encased the Water Demon Beast in a massive block of ice.
This ice block, blessed by the power of heaven and earth, would not dissolve in water nor melt in fire and was also indestructible.
To break the ice and rescue the Water Demon Beast, one would have to break the combined power of the Four Holy Beasts, a feat only an Earthly Immortal could achieve.
And so, the bustling Eastern Sea finally became peaceful.
During this mess, Lin Beifan was secretly watching them.
He gained a deeper understanding of the methods of the Four Holy Beasts.
Lin Beifans ambition surged: The final battle is in sight. As long as I attain the realm of Earthly Immortal, I can surely defeat them, unite the world, and establish the Divine Empire!
