Underwater Battle

“The Haolei Star Master is utterly insane.” “He’s completely disregarding us; his attacks are even reaching us.” The Cosmic Overlords, who had long since hidden within their Palace Supreme Treasures, were so startled that they hastily maneuvered their treasures, flying around to evade. In truth, each of them was safe inside their Palace Supreme Treasures—even a direct hit wouldn't kill them, let alone mere collateral damage.

World-shattering, colossal lightning bolts directly struck the reef where Luo Feng stood. Boom!!! Electric serpents writhed. “Roar~~” Under the lightning's assault, a massive horned lizard stood at the center of the reef, looking up at the sky. “Haolei, if you’ve got the guts, come at me!” With a stomp of its four hooves, the colossal horned lizard plunged directly into the boundless Swirling Marsh Sea nearby.

“Transforming into a Beast God?” The Lightning Giant in the sky looked down, sneering, “A mere Cosmic Overlord's trick, trying to show off in front of me.” The Lightning Giant instantly plummeted from the sky into the boundless Swirling Marsh Sea below. As the icy water splashed, the Lightning Giant had already entered.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The various alien Cosmic Overlords who had initially scattered to watch from afar, riding their respective Palace Supreme Treasures, flew back to the reef.

“The Galaxy Lord transformed into a Golden Beast God and fled into the Swirling Marsh Sea. The Haolei Star Master followed him in.”

“The Swirling Marsh Sea is incredibly dangerous. The Galaxy Lord is too reckless.”

The fifteen alien Cosmic Overlords strained to watch, but couldn't see clearly. They could only gauge the battle's progress by sensing the energy fluctuations.

...

Swirling Marsh Sea, seabed.

“Haha…” The Haolei Star Master, moving at high speed through the boundless seawater, was brimming with confidence. “Human brat, you think you can fight me in this Swirling Marsh Sea? You're mistaken!”

As a Cosmic Ultimate Expert, the Haolei Star Master was naturally not foolish. He knew very well that Luo Feng's only threat to him was his extremely strong survival capability, thanks to the ‘Tomb Mausoleum Boat’. Even in the most dangerous environments, hiding inside the Tomb Mausoleum Boat allowed him to endure. Therefore, in some of the extremely perilous environments within the ‘core region’ of the Cosmic Boat, he wouldn't bother with Luo Feng.

But, the Swirling Marsh Sea?

The Swirling Marsh Sea was a dangerous area within the Cosmic Boat's inner domain, but compared to the core region, the difference was immeasurable!

“I possess a Supreme True Treasure God Armor, and my divine body is that of a Cosmic Ultimate Expert,” the Haolei Star Master mused. “With just this, all other whirlpools in the entire Swirling Marsh Sea cannot harm me. The only thing that poses a threat is the very core whirlpool of the Swirling Marsh Sea, which frequently produces peak Supreme Treasures.”

How vast was the Swirling Marsh Sea? Only the core whirlpool could kill the Haolei Star Master.

“As long as I avoid that, there's no danger,” the Haolei Star Master was supremely confident.

Whoosh! The Lightning Giant's speed was incredibly fast, far exceeding the hundred times the speed of light limit. It quickly caught up to the ‘Golden Beast God’ that Luo Feng had transformed into. The Golden Beast God was desperately flying towards the core whirlpool, clearly intending to draw the battle there.

“Human brat, you want to set the battlefield in the core whirlpool? You want me to be killed by the core whirlpool?” The Haolei Star Master instantly appeared in front of the Golden Beast God, directly kicking out. A colossal lightning bolt boomed, striking the Golden Beast God and forcing it back.

“How foolish! My speed far exceeds a hundred times the speed of light. I can fight when I want, and leave when I want. Why would I be so stupid as to enter the core whirlpool?” The Haolei Star Master laughed loudly, utterly arrogant.

Arrogant on the surface, the Haolei Star Master was extremely vigilant internally. The only thing that threatened him in the entire Swirling Marsh Sea was the nearby core whirlpool! Only that one spot! But the Haolei Star Master understood that often, one stumbles not on obvious dangers, but on unexpected hidden traps. Luo Feng, after all, had received the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance. Who knew what special methods he possessed?

“I must be cautious,” the Haolei Star Master reminded himself.

“Roar~~” Luo Feng roared, his Beast God head staring at the Haolei Star Master, and said in a low voice, “How cowardly! Do you not dare to fight at the edge of the core whirlpool?”

Having mastered the Beast God Path and reached the Cosmic Overlord level, he could naturally transform into a Beast God! Not only did Luo Feng's divine body transform into a Beast God, but his ‘Mad Demon Extermination God Armor’ also transformed into a Beast God. His true self was within the Mad Demon Extermination God Armor. Forming a Beast God with the Mad Demon Extermination God Armor was like a peak Palace Supreme Treasure. In the Swirling Marsh Sea, only the ‘core whirlpool’ could destroy the Golden Beast God. Other areas posed no threat.

“Do you truly think I'm as foolish as you?” The Lightning Giant roared, taking a step forward. Suddenly, his arms clasped together and rose high. As these lightning arms came together, countless lightning bolts coiled around them. Then, with a furious shout, his clasped, raised arms slammed directly towards Luo Feng. It was as if the cosmos itself was being split apart.

“Roar~~~” Luo Feng, transformed into a Beast God, roared and didn't dodge at all. Instead, he leaped forward instantly to meet the attack.

“Crack! Crack!~~~~” The colossal lightning bolt, like a massive lightning whip, lashed directly at the charging Golden Beast God. “Sky-Rending Claw!”

As the Golden Beast God pounced, its right claw swung out fiercely, meeting the massive lightning whip. However, the sharp claws on its right hoof-claw were as keen as battle blades. More precisely, one of the claws was a battle blade—the Blood Shadow Blade! The Golden Beast God's right claw swung freely, and naturally, the Blood Shadow Blade on its hoof-claw also swung... A blade light flared, initially faint, but then rapidly grew thicker, sweeping across the heavens and earth...

“Boom!” A miniature universe instantly appeared, enveloping the colossal lightning whip that was striking down. The miniature universe split open, and a thin blade light instantly cut through, disintegrating the lightning whip. The blade light sliced through the Swirling Marsh Sea's water, parting it as easily as tofu, then immediately cut into the distant Lightning Giant.

Luo Feng's self-created blade technique—《Nirvana Rebirth》!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!!!” The Lightning Giant continuously retreated several steps, causing the surrounding seawater to churn. He looked at Luo Feng in shock, filled with confusion and astonishment. Peak eighth-tier combat power? Just now, Luo Feng's divine body was constantly burning to unleash 《Annihilation》, combined with the unique properties of the ‘Blood Shadow Blade’, pushing his attack power to the peak eighth-tier! The might was so great... even with his Supreme True Treasure God Armor protecting him, the Haolei Star Master felt pressure, because his own combat power was only at the peak eighth-tier!

“Impossible! Argh!” The Lightning Giant roared in fury, “Even if you received the Duan Dong River lineage inheritance, you will still die today!” Suddenly, numerous arms sprouted from the Lightning Giant's ribs, including his original two, totaling thirty-six arms. After all, the Thunderstorm Star Race's true form was a ‘Thunderstorm Planet’. After he became a True God, returning to his origin, his true form was the most dazzling light sphere at the center of his body. Arms, head, and so on were all formed by condensed divine power, so he could manifest as many arms as he wished.

“Take this!” The Lightning Giant roared. Each of his thirty-six arms grasped a peculiar triangular spike. All thirty-six triangular spikes were peak Supreme Treasures. This complete set of peak Supreme Treasures, the ‘Universal Control Cones’, was perfectly suited to the Lightning Giant. “Roar~~ Come on,” the Golden Beast God roared, meeting the attack once more.

Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack! Streaks of golden lightning shot out from each spike. All thirty-six golden lightning streaks instantly converged to form a colossal golden spike! Meanwhile, the Golden Beast God's right hoof-claw swung out freely, and the blade light also surged forth!

Silently! The miniature universe enveloped the golden spike. The two collided silently, then surprisingly annihilated each other simultaneously, only then did a powerful aftershock sweep through the surroundings.

“Go!” A small tower suddenly shot out from beside the Golden Beast God. The small tower rapidly grew larger. The Golden Beast God also roared and charged forward again.

“Star Tower!” The Haolei Star Master's eyes immediately showed greed upon seeing the flying Star Tower, yet he didn't dodge at all.

The hoof-claw of Luo Feng's transformed Beast God!

The Haolei Star Master's triangular spikes!

They began to clash head-on!

“Bang!” The colossal Star Tower, like a mountain peak, struck the Haolei Star Master's head with lightning speed. The Haolei Star Master was sent plummeting downwards, his head directly dented, but as lightning flowed, his head instantly recovered.

“Peak eighth-tier combat power!” The Haolei Star Master looked at the Star Tower in shock.

“Haolei!” Luo Feng's Beast God roared, charging forward madly. Its left and right hoof-claws continuously tore and clawed. The Blood Shadow Blade sometimes transformed into a sharp claw on the right hoof-claw, and sometimes into one on the left! The incredibly savage and fierce Golden Beast God directly confronted the Haolei Star Master in a head-on battle, not falling behind in the slightest.

At the same time, the Star Tower repeatedly slammed into the Haolei Star Master. Each strike was like the full-power blow of a mighty Cosmic Ultimate Expert, definitely possessing peak eighth-tier might! In an instant, it was as if he was being attacked by two Cosmic Ultimate Experts simultaneously. The Haolei Star Master was forced to retreat step by step.

“How can he be so strong? Even for a Cosmic Ultimate Expert to unleash peak eighth-tier might... first, they need secret techniques, and second, suitable Supreme Treasures. How can this Luo Feng, in both close combat and controlling the Star Tower, unleash such terrifying might? He's still just a Cosmic Overlord. This Duan Dong River lineage inheritance is truly too powerful.” The Haolei Star Master was continuously forced back.

Watching... Behind him was the core whirlpool of the entire Swirling Marsh Sea. After all, the previous reef was already close to the core whirlpool. Luo Feng had flown towards the core whirlpool from the moment he entered the Swirling Marsh Sea, making their distance even shorter. Now, their fierce battle had reached the edge of the core whirlpool. The powerful crushing force of the whirlpool was already affecting the surroundings.

“A Cosmic Overlord actually possesses such terrifying combat power.” Though the Haolei Star Master was jealous and resentful, he remained calm.

“Behind me is the core whirlpool. I can't fight here anymore; continuing will only lead to losses.” He instantly made a decision in his heart.

“Hahaha… Human brat, this Duan Dong River lineage inheritance is truly formidable, allowing you to reach such combat power. I can't deal with you, so I won't play with you anymore. I killed your human Giant Axe, and you killed one of my Lei Suo. I'm still ahead. Haha…” Accompanied by arrogant laughter, the Haolei Star Master's speed immediately surged as he attempted to escape using his speed.
