Chapter 2601: Get Your Hands Dirty

He had been fi...The water column spewed by the tide beast seemed to freeze, transforming into an ice pillar connecting the tide beast and the Cold Source Myriad Tide Pearl. Through this ice pillar, a subtle connection was established between the Cold Source Myriad Tide Pearl and the tide beast. At this moment, the dense, almost tangible water spirit energy in the world surged towards the Cold Source Myriad Tide Pearl at an astonishing speed.

Having unleashed the tide of a myriad oceans, the Cold Source Tide Pearl had consumed quite a bit of its spiritual energy. Yet at this moment, it was being replenished at an even more astonishing rate. The azure orb appeared to be growing ever more solid in color.

The Yin-Yang Sash Venerable, Shi Tian, Shu Gui, and the double-horned black rhinoceros each occupied a cardinal direction, their hearts pounding with tension as they watched the unfolding scene before them, waiting for time to reveal its secrets.

Through this mysterious connection with the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl, the tide beast's aura also became increasingly tranquil. Every time it communicated with heaven and earth through the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl, it could gain some improvement, which was faster than its own cultivation.

At the same time, several combined demon creatures emerged from the water, each spitting out a jet of water towards Han Yuan's Wanchao Pearl.

The Cold Source Ten Thousand Tide Pearl is not only incredibly useful against tide beasts, but also has significant effects on many water-based and even ice-type monsters. If the tide beast moves freely, these combined monster would dare not act rashly, after all, the tide beast is a late stage combined monster, if it makes a slight mistake, it will end up falling instantly.

However, the connection between the Tide Beasts and the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl is becoming increasingly close, and it won't be easily broken. These combined monster creatures naturally also want a share of the pie. They want to get some benefits from this Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl.

The tide beast roared, shaking the earth above Taisui's head. These rabble-rousers are so bold! Just now, its tentacles that seemed soft and pliable while submerged in the sand suddenly slammed open.

Several jets of water were struck and shattered, turning into countless droplets that scattered through the air.

The Yin-Yang Demon Lord narrowed his eyes, looking at the assembled hybrid monsters before him. It seemed there were more than he had anticipated, mostly hailing from the Demon Sea. Once the tide receded, these hybrid creatures would retreat back into the depths of the sea.

Several demon sharks and octopus demons are very good at hiding in the water. For the Tide Beasts, wanting to get a share of the spoils from within this Cold Source Ten Thousand Tides Pearl would undoubtedly make the Cold Source Ten Thousand Tides Pearl's aura become chaotic in a short period of time, which would be detrimental to its cultivation. The Tide Beasts naturally wouldn't agree to this.

These guys were also cunning, not showing themselves easily. They only started making a move when the tide beast boosted its power through the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl. At that time, the tide beast didn't even have the mind to kill these guys. After all, there was a limit to each tide cycle. If it missed this opportunity, it would have to wait for the next tide.

The Tide Beasts had previously been slain, with several that came to take advantage being killed. However, besides wasting time, it hadn't had much of a deterrent effect.

Kill this one, and next time there will be another. Over time, as long as it's not too excessive, the tide beast is too lazy to bother with killing all the opponents if it wants to directly take the Cold Source Ten Thousand Tide Pearl for itself.

The Tide Beast interrupted several demonic creatures from their feeding frenzy, but in the process, its connection with the Cold Source Wanchao Pearl grew stronger. Meanwhile, two other extremely powerful demon sharks and a demon eel took advantage of the situation. They unleashed water columns that, during the Tide Beast's struggle to focus its energy, also established a mysterious connection with the Cold Source Wanchao Pearl.

The tide beast let out an unwilling grunt. At this moment, the spiritual power of the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl was returning to him after its peak, and it was nearing its end. The two monsters he had dealt with were not weak in strength, and he didn't want to just cut it short like this, so much that his efforts would be wasted in the end.

The Hanshu Wanchao Pearl has the ability to automatically purify itself, and by this time, it is nearly complete. A few extra water columns won't have too much of an impact on it. When the Hanshu Wanchao Pearl recovers next time, it will be able to purify these two chaotic energies completely. The overall situation remains unaffected.

Compared to other monsters, it is far more insidious. A flash of sinister killing intent passed through the Tide Beast's eyes. If one wants to take the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl, they must be prepared to die here.

A light and sweet sound echoed throughout the vast expanse of heaven and earth. It was incredibly pleasant to hear, blending with the roaring waves but standing out even more, penetrating deep into one's soul.

Even Lu Xiaotian felt that it was pleasing to the ear, a kind of enjoyment from the heart.

Han Yuan's Wanchao Pearl's spiritual energy had almost fully accumulated. The two demon sharks that received some of the benefits flicked their tails and, along with several other sea creatures, retreated into the water ahead of time.

It's best to know when to stop. While the gains may be smaller, it's safer that way. After all, they are competing for scraps inside a powerful late-stage monster like Tide Beast.

If the tide beasts were ever truly unleashed, one or even several of them would surely be the ones to suffer. If they angered the other side, or if the other side was in a particularly bad mood, it's entirely possible that they could perish here.

A small profit, with minimal risk, is quite a good deal for these demon-sea amalgamated old demons.

The Tide Beast snorted, churning up several whirlpools in the surging tide as it watched the others depart. This swarm of flies was annoying, but they were also quick to disperse, and he wasn't interested in chasing them. He could still profit from the Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl here for a little while longer. But those other fellows lurking underwater, hmph!

"Fellow cultivators, the time has come. The Cold Origin Wanchao Pearl is almost complete. If we wait for the tide beast to fully emerge, it will be too chaotic. We may not be able to both subdue the tide beast and keep the pearl. Let's strike now!" Yin Yang Sha Zun roared in unison at this moment.

Shi Tian, Shu Mei, and Shuang Jiao Hei Xi all launched their attacks together. The battle flags in their hands blazed with fire, and five fiery pillars surged directly upwards from the tide. They seemed to sprout from the depths of the earth. Within each pillar of fire, a giant Xuan Gui writhed, its short limbs moving in the flames.

Tortoise cries echoed one after another. Five pillars of fire spewed flames that connected into a wall, with five mid-stage fusion experts as the core. Each of them raised their banners, instantly isolating the Source Pearl of Cold Origin and the surrounding waters within a radius of thousands of miles from the tide beast.

>

"What a bold move!" The Tide Beast spoke in human tongue, its voice laced with both surprise and anger. These five cultivators at the mid-stage of the Fusion Realm were indeed powerful, but within this tide current they were inevitably affected to some extent. Countless others who had attempted to challenge the Tide Pearl's master before them all met with failure and returned defeated.

I never expected that these five guys, joining forces, would unleash such a powerful array of banners. They sealed off an area over a thousand li in radius. Even with my current level of understanding, I'm still a bit short of being able to do that.

“Fellow cultivator, this formation was painstakingly crafted by my senior brother and hundreds of formation masters over many years. It connects to the fiery inferno; once unleashed, its power is limitless. We don't want to end up in a situation where both sides perish. We only ask for the use of your Cold Source Ten Thousand Tide Pearl and Cloud Coral. If you agree, we will apologize to you afterward.”

The stout lama, holding a battle flag, stood at the edge of the pillar of fire. His entire fat face was illuminated red by the rising flames.
