<strong>Chapter 1688: Chapter 1688: The Sea Beast</strong>


    Flying above the ck Sea, Fang Bai looked down, only to see fierce winds and towering waves on the sea surface. No one would expect that lurking beneath the pitch-ck waters is a sea beastparable to a human Heavenly Tribtion realm fourth-level expert.


    How powerful is a Heavenly Tribtion fourth-level sea beast?


    Fang Bai knew very well that if that sea beast appeared onnd, then even Wei Zhengtian and Shi Hongye with Heavenly Tribtion third-level cultivationbined wouldn’t be its match.


    One can imagine what serious consequences would arise if that sea beastnded—likely, the entire Immortal Stone City would be utterly destroyed.


    Immortal Stone City used to be a small fishing vige. In his past life, Fang Bai stayed in this small vige for a while and took Wei Feng, the ancestor of the Wei Family, as a disciple, establishing some connections here.


    Now, the descendants of the Wei Family in Immortal Stone City are considered Fang Bai’s disciples and grand-disciples. Generations of Wei Family disciples have guarded the stone statue carved in Fang Bai’s likeness, showing their sincerity. How could Fang Bai bear to see the Wei Family descendants fall with the city?


    Fang Bai knew that with his current strength, he wasn’t a match for the Heavenly Tribtion fourth-level sea beast in a head-on confrontation, but he had many aces up his sleeve. Perhaps by risking confrontation with the sea beast, he might find a chance and method to kill it.


    The powerful sea beast that roared seemed to have dived deep into the ocean; Fang Bai released his Divine Sense to investigate tens of miles around but couldn’t locate its trace.


    “If you won’te out, I’ll force you out!”


    Fang Bai hovered in the air and let out a piercing long howl toward the sea, the sound waves shattering the water’s surface into towering waves.


    Fang Bai knew the sea beast was strong, and his Beast Taming Scripture couldn’t control it, but he could disrupt it enough to make it ufortable under the sea, perhaps forcing it to surface out of frustration.


    Just as Fang Bai expected, after several breaths, abnormal fluctuations appeared in the sea below; the water rapidly parted, revealing a sea beast ten zhang long, like a giant ship suddenly surfacing from the deep.


    The sea beast was smooth and dark, with a single eye and horn, a long tail—the Unihorn Dragon Whale, one of the top predators in the ck Sea food chain.


    The Unihorn Dragon Whale had thick, tough skin and moved incredibly fast in the water, making it unmatched in the ck Sea among thousands of sea beasts, even more so against humans of the same realm.


    However, the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s weakness was that it couldn’t fly; if an opponent hovered beyond its attack range, it was helpless.


    Fang Bai had lived for tens of thousands of years in his previous life, journeying through numerous realms and encountering all kinds of Spirit Beasts. He’s even killed a more formidable Unihorn Dragon Whale than this one, so he naturally knew how to handle it.


    He maintained an altitude more than a hundred zhang above the sea, where eighty to ny zhang was roughly the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s attack limit, making it difficult for it to harm him.


    The Unihorn Dragon Whale, unable to withstand Fang Bai’s annoying howl, surfaced and focused its single eye, glowing bluish, on Fang Bai, its gaze filled with killing intent.


    “Finally came out, did you?”


    Fang Baiughed loudly, diving down as his right hand swung, wielding the Blood-Drinking Mad de to sh a long de light.


    “ng!”


    Fang Bai’s de light,parable to a Heavenly Tribtion first-level expert, shed across the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s spine like hitting a giant piece of hard metal, scattering sparks and leaving only a shallow mark.


    “Impressive! Again!”


    Fang Bai shouted, shing three more times in session while airborne.


    Each sh aimed at the same spot on the Unihorn Dragon Whale, only deepening the de mark a little without causing any significant damage.


    Fang Bai wasn’t discouraged; he continued flying around the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s massive body, cutting it with the Blood-Drinking Mad de at various points, not aiming to harm it but treating this as a kind of trial.


    To the Unihorn Dragon Whale, Fang Bai’s attacks were like tickling, causing no harm, yet irritating.


    “Boom!”


    When Fang Bai’s tenth sh struck the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s head, the whale lifted its upper body, opened itsrge mouth, and shot out a huge water ball formed from condensed Water Spirit Qi toward Fang Bai.


    The enormous Spirit Qi water ball, several zhang wide, carried tremendous power and thunderous “buzzing” sound, split through the air, quickly heading toward Fang Bai.


    Not only was the Spirit Qi water ball fast, but its range of effect reached over ten zhang from the center. Although Fang Bai dodged the ball’s direct impact, he was swept by the aftermath.


    The strike,parable to a Heavenly Tribtion fourth-level expert, was incredibly fierce. Though only struck by the aftermath, Fang Bai felt as if his body was hit by a massive hammer, flying backward into the air.


    Luckily, his physical body was extraordinarily strong; otherwise, this hit would’ve shattered his internal organs, instantly taking his life.


    Fang Bai felt dizzy and calmed himself in the air for a moment before regaining hisposure.


    “Now feel my Spirit Fire might!”


    Fang Bai put away the Blood-Drinking Mad de, with the Houyi Bow appearing in his hand.


    “Tweet!”


    Fang Baibined Fire Spirit Energy from the Red Silkworm Spirit Fire and Nether Spirit Fire into arrows, cing them on the Houyi Bow and shooting them.


    With the appearance of the two Spirit Fires, the temperature soared within tens of miles of Fang Bai. The already turbulent sea surface became even more boiling, and wisps of white smoke rose from the sea, showing the rapid evaporation of seawater.


    The Unihorn Dragon Whale, being a Fire System sea beast, was naturally countered by fire. Fang Bai’s two Spirit Fires were its nemesis.


    Fang Bai’s arrow, enhanced by the power of the Spirit Fires, struck the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s tail.


    The arrow’s power exceeded that of the prior de light, prating a chi deep into the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s body. Under the scorching heat, the beast’s skin emitted a “sizzling” sound, immediately spreading a burnt smell.


    The Unihorn Dragon Whale felt pain and started twisting its body uneasily, quickly submerging into the deep sea.


    Where it sank, the water erupted like fireworks, surging upward and releasing countless bubbles, gradually fading after several breaths.


    Fang Bai rejoiced at the Houyi Bow showing its might, holding the bow tightly as he kept his eyes on the sea, continuing to howl to provoke the Unihorn Dragon Whale to surface.


    However, after suffering a loss, the Unihorn Dragon Whale didn’t reappear for a while, and Fang Bai, suspended above the water for a long time, sensed his Spiritual Energy depleting and lost patience in waiting.


    Fang Bai stowed the Houyi Bow, ready to fly away when suddenly, a rumble of water sounded behind him as the Unihorn Dragon Whale surfaced again.


    Alongside the Unihorn Dragon Whale’s emergence were hundreds of dark shadows.
