Chapter 691 - 594: God of Destruction
The old fish hag arrogantly looked at Zhao Yi, whose eyes were bloodshot and face had turned the color of a pig’s liver due to the binding, feeling very pleased with herself. She had long noticed the powerful Power of Laws on Zhao Yi. Once she absorbed it, her own power could also be enhanced, raising her status in the Cosmic Origin and gaining more strength.
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal watched anxiously, his situation was not much better than Zhao Yi’s. The blue light tightly bound him, and any struggle brought an excruciating pain.
"Old hag, if you have the guts, release me and see how I kill you!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal cursed with all his might, only to receive the other party’s merciless slaps and torment.
Despite being at a disadvantage, Zhao Yi never gave up resisting. He kept observing the surroundings, and due to the deep sea, a pendant he had previously snatched floated before his eyes.
Zhao Yi was still unclear what exactly was inside it, but he was sure of one thing: it must be something extremely ferocious!
"Bang!"
Zhao Yi concentrated his remaining strength in his arm, seizing the opportunity when the old fish hag’s attention was elsewhere to grab the pendant and crush it.
A white light appeared in the deep sea as he released it.
The old fish hag hesitated, alarmed!
"Roar"
Accompanied by a roar, the white light gradually expanded and finally exploded, evaporating the blue deep sea completely. The old fish hag was also blasted up the mountain by the huge shockwave, creating a deep pit.
Both the old fish hag and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal were not in great shape either, falling down after being poked by rocks causing Zhao Yi to grimace in pain. Despite this, Zhao Yi was very happy, after all, he was rescued!
"Master, we are saved, what is that thing!"
"How would I know, it was just a spur of the moment idea."
Zhao Yi looked up, somewhat shocked by the scene before him.
A five-meter-tall White Tiger stood in mid-air, the wind blowing through its fur added a regal aura to the White Tiger, appearing majestic and inviolable.
Zhao Yi had never seen this creature before, but he could feel the immense power emanating from it.
The old fish hag, returning to midair, recognized it at a glance as the White Tiger sealed at this juncture.
"You wretched thing, how dare you release him!"
The old fish hag cursed, summoning a rope to deal with the White Tiger first. She knew clearly that the Tiger wouldn’t harm Zhao Yi but would surely devour her!
As the old fish hag was lost in thought, a shadow enveloped her. The White Tiger had somehow arrived above her, its massive paw striking down.
The old fish hag dared not resist and dodged in panic, with the White Tiger relentlessly tracking, quickly putting her at a disadvantage.
On the ground, upon seeing this situation, Zhao Yi appeared gleefully vindictive.
"Old hag, why aren’t you being brash now! Come beat me if you can!"
Zhao Yi twisted his body gleefully, infuriating the old fish hag to the brink of being devoured by the White Tiger. She wanted to retort, but there was no time; the creature before her was too formidable!
She unleashed her ultimate skill again, a blue light instantly enshrouded the White Tiger, yet with just a tiger’s roar, the light vanished, and the old fish hag was left bleeding from her seven orifices, her hair blown off into a bald head.
In the distance, the protagonist was astounded, his mouth agape, he never expected Zhao Yi to have such a reversal.
He cursed in indignation, "I never thought Zhao Yi had this ace up his sleeve!"
"When this White Tiger was initially sealed, it took five lords, and it took ten days to seal it completely, marking it as one of the strongest intruders into the Cosmic Origin."
Upon hearing the prisoner’s explanation, the protagonist’s imagination ran wild, contemplating whether he could make this creature his ally.
"Doesn’t this thing have any weaknesses at all?"
"I advise you to dispel such thoughts, this creature only bows to the strong, it won’t follow you."
The prisoner’s words made the protagonist blush. Ever since taking in the prisoner and those guys, he felt like he had no secrets left, as if everything could be seen through by them. This made him very uncomfortable, but there was no other option, as he needed their help now.
While the protagonist was lost in thought, the distant battle ended, with the White Tiger devouring the old fish hag and the lake water gradually disappearing.
The protagonist angrily pounded the ground, but it was to no avail, knowing it was time to retreat.
The protagonist said nothing, turning to leave, with the prisoner following along.
"Thank you for the help, without you, the Nine Dragon Jade Seal and I would have died here today."
"No need to thank me, I should be the one thanking you instead, if you hadn’t broken the pendant, I don’t know how much longer I’d be trapped."
The White Tiger’s voice echoed from above, and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal seized the opportunity to speak, "I think we’re even, no debts owed. But could you tell us where you’re from and why you’re so formidable?"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal couldn’t help being nosy.
"I am the Divine Destroyer of the Cosmos, driven by my insatiable greed. Upon learning that the origin would make me stronger, I came here, only to end up sealed. It’s truly embarrassing to say."
"If you want a smooth journey thereafter, it’s simple: just follow my master. He can be the most benevolent ruler of the Cosmos! The future Cosmic Sovereign!"
The Nine Dragon Jade Seal couldn’t help boasting, but this time Zhao Yi didn’t interrupt, feeling the strong and mighty White Tiger was enticing, bringing such an ally would surely make the journey much smoother.
"I cannot follow anyone, as I represent the Law of Destruction of the Cosmos, if I were to follow you, the first to face destruction would be you, Zhao Yi!"
Perhaps realizing his words sounded harsh, the White Tiger shifted the topic to make up for Zhao Yi’s possible disappointment.
"Have you all come here for the monstrous fish in the river, just like me?"
"Yes!"
Despite feeling a bit let down inside, Zhao Yi didn’t show it, knowing getting through this stage smoothly was already quite lucky.
"The river is not far from here, another day’s journey will get you there, but if you want to capture the monster fish, going empty-handed like this won’t work!"
The White Tiger gave a detailed explanation to Zhao Yi, finally learning that to catch the monster fish they must go westward to the Celestial Silkworm Mountain, to harvest Celestial Silkworms and weave a net. Only then will they be able to capture the monster fish. The White Tiger specifically instructed that the silk must be placed in water and shaped first, taking it out will cause it to harden and be unchangeable or destructible.
Receiving such crucial information made Zhao Yi happy, and after a brief exchange, the White Tiger soared skyward, quickly disappearing from sight.
’If only it could follow the master!’ Nine Dragon Jade Seal was still somewhat dissatisfied, but Zhao Yi made no response, now needing rest.
The lake water vanished entirely, and a few fish flailed about in the mud, with Zhao Yi and the Nine Dragon Jade Seal starting a fish-catching contest, until nightfall arrived.
The fragrant fish was already in Zhao Yi’s belly.
The next day, as Zhao Yi awoke, the lake water began to rise, knowing that a new master was about to take over, Zhao Yi hastened to leave the lake territory.
