Zhu Yan was originally one of the fierce beasts with a fearsome reputation in ancient times, possessing its own bloodline divine abilities.
For monsters that evolved postnatally, like the mother crab, even if it gained some fortuitous encounters and evolved eight vertical eyes on its back, possessing powers similar to divine abilities, it was still no match for the Edo Tensei Zhu Yan with its immortal body.
After its body was torn in half, a transparent soul emerged from its ruptured form, letting out a silent roar in mid-air.
Zhu Yan clearly saw this transparent soul. It knew that this soul might be absorbed and utilized by Yu Zhibo. A fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and it was about to unleash its supreme yang divine flame to incinerate the soul into nothingness.
However, in the next moment, its body stiffened abruptly, losing control.
"Stupid dog, you seem quite disobedient!"
On the ruined high-rise ruins of Linhai Building, Yu Zhibo's face was filled with mockery. In the next instant, his body flickered, appearing above Zhu Yan's head.
Soon, three tomoe spun in his eyes, transforming into the Yin-Yang symbol of the Mangekyo Sharingan. Simultaneously, he activated the Samsara Creation Mirror, releasing an extremely powerful suction force towards the mother crab's soul.
Upon seeing Yu Zhibo's eyes, the mother crab's soul revealed an expression of terror, developing an inexplicable fear towards Yu Zhibo's eyes.
However, in its soul state, it had no physical body to protect it. It quickly flowed like water into the vortex in Yu Zhibo's eyes and was ultimately completely absorbed.
"Congratulations to the host for killing the Level 24 Divine Tier Mother Crab, obtaining 240,000 energy points. Current energy points: 10,346,240."
"Congratulations to the host for killing an A-class sea beast. Current main mission completion: 4/100."
Sensing the system prompts appearing in his mind, Yu Zhibo's heart remained unmoved. He directly shifted his gaze to the male crab that was locked in combat with Su Li.
"Zhu Yan, go and kill that male one as well."
Yu Zhibo commanded Zhu Yan.
Upon receiving Yu Zhibo's instructions, although Zhu Yan felt unwilling, its body reacted immediately. It lunged towards the male crab, and then began to fight fiercely.
It was also because of Zhu Yan's assistance that the male crab, which was already at a disadvantage, found its situation becoming even more difficult.
"Well done, Xiao Yu!"
Su Li looked at Zhu Yan fighting the male crab, a look of joy appearing on his face. He could feel that although Zhu Yan's level was only between 24 and 25, its bloodline was extremely pure, possibly possessing special bloodline divine abilities. It was simply incomparable to wild demonic beasts like the male crab.
"Is this the beast-taming method recorded in ancient texts? Or is it puppetry? I've long heard that this young man named Yu Zhibo possesses many astonishing techniques. Seeing it today, he truly lives up to his reputation!"
Watching Zhu Yan pound the male crab with its hammer, he felt both shock and emotion. However, his hands did not slow down at all.
"Secret Technique · Three Lights Divine Water Qilin!"
With a thought, the Dragon of Three Lights Divine Water, which had been scattered by the self-detonation of the male crab's back eyes, began to gather crystalline fragments in the air, reforming into a drop of Three Lights Divine Water.
Then, that drop of Three Lights Divine Water merged into the newly formed Qilin, greatly increasing its power and posing a significant threat to the male crab.
Moreover, Su Li's control over the Qilin had reached a state of perfection, as if it were an extension of his own arm.
During the fierce battle, the Three Lights Divine Water Qilin not only perfectly avoided friendly fire towards Zhu Yan but also sealed off the male crab's escape routes, allowing Zhu Yan to fight more smoothly and with greater exhilaration.
Unfortunately, this exhilaration was not what Zhu Yan desired. It only wanted to kill the arrogant ant named Uchiha.
Seeing his mate being beaten to death and torn in half by Zhu Yan, the male crab became furious. Its aura even surpassed Level 26, reaching a terrifying Level 27. However, this was completely useless, as it was facing not only Zhu Yan but also Su Li, a Level 29 water element ability user.
The outcome was already decided; its defeat was beyond doubt.
"Roar~"
Finally, the male crab ended its most sinful life with a shrill scream. Its death was similar to its mate's, only lacking a bit of crab roe.
"Can I have this crab's corpse?"
Just as he had done with the mother crab, Yu Zhibo absorbed the male crab's soul into his Mangekyo Sharingan. Then, looking at its split corpse, he asked Su Li.
"Of course. If it weren't for your help, I'd probably still be fighting them. Take whatever you need!"
Su Li glanced at Zhu Yan and then at the male crab's corpse. He had some vague guesses in his heart as he spoke with a smile.
"In that case, thank you, Director Su."
Yu Zhibo bowed slightly and placed the male crab's corpse into his spatial storage.
Just as Yu Zhibo's battle concluded, a black rain of blood began to fall on the battlefield at the Bund. That was the director of the Shanghai Divine Splendor Branch, Wang Dali, suppressing and beating the Jue, causing its massive body to constantly spew blood.
Wang Dali was a power-type ability user. Having reached Divine Tier Level 40, his control and comprehension of power had reached a state of near-dao.
A-class Level 99. The first 49 levels were the process of refining origin, merging immortal and spiritual energy to strengthen oneself. Each ten levels represented a small threshold, and only after crossing Level 49 would one truly comprehend the power of laws and achieve a qualitative leap in strength.
Jue, on the other hand, was one of the ancient fierce beasts. Unlike Zhu Yan, it had never had its origin power extracted by the Eternal Night Sect. After entering the current world, its level had been constantly increasing. Although it was being beaten and spewing blood, its aura was continuously growing, and its level had risen from the original Level 36 to Level 39.
"Humble human, in my prime, I could crush you like an ant. The gap in bloodline cannot be compensated by realm. Wait until I reach Level 40, and you will await your death!"
Jue let out a massive roar and, with its colossal body, took another punch from Wang Dali. The spot where it was hit had muscles wriggling, dissipating Wang Dali's punch force to various parts of its body in a special way, causing its surface to vibrate like waves.
In the beginning, it was only Level 36 and couldn't withstand Wang Dali's punch, so it transformed into human form. However, after leveling up during the fight, its demonic body became increasingly powerful, so it revealed its true form and no longer held back.
"Can you withstand my fist!"
Wang Dali's hair stood up like steel needles, his entire body surging with powerful origin energy, constantly washing over him, dispelling the terrifying black flames emanating from Jue. Then, like a human tyrannosaurus, he kicked through the void and suddenly appeared above Jue's head.
A golden fist, over ten zhang in size, appeared. It was as if it were condensed from Vajra, and it descended fiercely towards Jue's massive head.
At the same time, a terrifying fist intent emanated from the golden fist, extremely domineering and fierce, enveloping Jue's body, making it feel as if it were trapped in quicksand, unable to extricate itself.
Bang!
A terrifying collision occurred. Jue's head cracked, and a large portion of it caved in. Its massive body was like a cannonball, smashing towards the ground.
Boom!
The ground began to tremble violently. The place where Jue landed was struck, creating a huge crater, and cracks in the earth rapidly spread outwards from the crater.
But Jue was still not dead. Its cracked skull had origin energy interweaving, rapidly healing the wounds. Simultaneously, blood energy surged from its body, and its level was still climbing, infinitely close to Level 40.
"Just a little more, just a little more. Once I recover, you will all die!"
Jue roared. Revealing its true form, it possessed forelimbs like human hands. It raised its hand to block Wang Dali's subsequent attacks while simultaneously condensing a terrifying black energy ball in its mouth.
Just then, a bolt of lightning shot towards its eyes like a meteor.
"Petty trick!"
Jue sneered and closed its eyes. Sparks immediately flew. The lightning transformed into a kunai and was flicked away by its eyelids.
As its strength continuously increased during the battle, it also sensed that the human controlling Zhu Yan was merely a weakling who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage. Even Zhu Yan's strength had dropped significantly, so there was no need to worry.
As expected, the attack launched by that human couldn't even injure its eyelids.
Jue raised its eyelids, looking at the flying kunai, a hint of mockery in its eyes.
But in the next moment, it found that the kunai was grasped by a hand enveloped in golden energy. Subsequently, its vision was covered by gold, and then a long sword emanating a soul-stirring aura fiercely slashed down towards its head.
It was a golden Heavenly Emperor phantom. Standing at the center of the phantom's brow was a cold youth enveloped by a semi-transparent golden bell, his eyes crimson and his thin lips pressed together like a knife.
"Mere ants, daring to resist ahhhhhh~"
