If the Sea Demon King were released, it would likely spell more misfortune than fortune for the Cultivator in his current state.

At the same time, Wang Mu suddenly retracted the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation. The Thunder Spirit's growth had nearly reached 85/100.

Killing a few more Evil Beasts should suffice.

Although he was virtually out of strength, he could still hold on for a little longer.

But then Wang Mu looked ahead.

The numerous Evil Beasts retreated like a tide, as if they had received some command.

From the darkest, most terrifying zone within the Sea Prison, a figure slowly emerged.

It was a bald man wearing a tattered Kasaya, a Swastika imprinted between his brows. His features were peaceful, his demeanor gentle. He walked slowly out of the darkness as a faint golden light gradually appeared around him. He didn't resemble a peerless Devil at all.

Rather, he seemed like an enlightened, venerable monk—neither young nor old.

His gaze swept over the area. With a light sigh, he slowly chanted a series of strange spells.

The spells were incredibly sacred. One by one, special characters flew from his mouth, transforming into pure beams of light. These beams landed on the corpses of the Evil Beasts, causing them to dissolve and vanish without a trace.

It was as if he were liberating their souls.

That compassionate, divine demeanor inexplicably sent shivers down Wang Mu's spine.

"All the sins of the world shall be borne by me."

The man opened his eyes and smiled faintly at Wang Mu. "Fellow Daoist, I have observed you for over a month—such an extraordinary Root Bone. You cultivate the Mystic Sects' Zhenggong, as well as the Body Refining Techniques of my Emperor Kun Beast Lineage. To possess Dual Cultivation and still reach such a profound Realm is truly impressive.

"That Great Immortal who sent you here must only have intended to temper and aid you.

"After all, she also knows of our Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique."

Wang Mu was startled. The Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, this profound Body Cultivation Method, is actually the Cultivation Technique practiced by the Sea Demon King?

So, after all this time, I've been cultivating a technique these exotic beasts use, Wang Mu thought. No wonder it's so powerful.

"You need not be surprised," the Sea Demon King spoke slowly. "Mountain and Sea Body Refining... how could the Human Clan possibly refine their bodies in the mountains and seas? Only my Ancient Spirit Kun lineage, roaming the vast oceans and soaring through the mountains, can utilize the power of heaven and earth to temper their bodies.

"Such a Cultivation Technique was naturally not created by your Human Clan."

"However, what you have been cultivating must have been modified by a mighty human, making it less savage and more pure," the Sea Demon King continued. "But its essence remains that of our lineage. I am very pleased to meet a human cultivating our technique; it means this method has not been lost."

As he said this, a trace of melancholy touched his features.

"Your potential is not limited to this." The Sea Demon King looked at Wang Mu, his expression tinged with sorrow. "In your current state, you stand no chance against me. But if you can withstand one of my moves and let me witness the power of the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique, I would have no regrets."

Wang Mu squinted, observing him.

This Sea Demon King, with his gentle speech and kind eyes, truly didn't resemble a Devil. Instead, he exuded a strange sense of familiarity.

"Alright."

His response was succinct.

Wang Mu retracted the Ten Thousand Beast Heavenly Tribulation.

He took a deep breath.

The Mountain and Sea Spirit Pattern on his back shone even more brightly, radiating from his body.

He clenched his fists slightly…

"Good, good, good!" The Sea Demon King seemed to feel the pressure, and a smile began to spread across his face.

Then, the smile grew increasingly brilliant.

The next second!

BOOM!

The Sea Demon King suddenly spun around. His body began to swell, and seven pitch-black arms sprouted from his back. His previously kind and peaceful head split in two, transforming into two skull-like Kun heads. His body instantly expanded into a terrifying half-human, half-beast monster!

Pitch-black hair burst forth from its bisected head, disheveled. The very air it exhaled seemed capable of obliterating Living Beings!

"HAHAHAHA... Exhilarating, exhilarating!!"

The Sea Demon King let out a wild roar. "Such a strong aura! What is this technique? I don't recall the Mountain and Sea Body Refining Technique having such an ultimate move! Human child, quickly use it! Let me experience it!

"Quick! Quick! Quick!

"I can't stand it any longer!"

Its eight arms pounded its own body, which oozed pitch-black, magma-like blood, as if it were oblivious to pain.

Ao Qing was deeply shaken by this sight.

This Devil practiced a fusion of the Eight Heavenly Books and the Sky Shattering Demon Technique—a Dual Cultivation of Buddha and Demon—granting him an indestructible body and various Divine Skills. Even after being confined in the Sea Prison for hundreds of years, he still possessed strength close to the Nascent Soul Early Stage. His myriad abilities remained intact.

She knew such strength was far beyond her capabilities.

The peerless Devil who had almost destroyed an entire continent was not so simple.

Mere glances from him were enough to subjugate the tens of thousands of Evil Beasts in this Sea Prison!

Wang Mu clenched his fists tightly. Golden light flared as he unleashed all his strength, throwing a punch forward.

Spirit and God Dual Use + Beautiful Fist!

Like two golden dragons, the attack seemed capable of destroying heaven and earth!

The terrifying momentum, at the instant of release, caused the entire sea region to tremble. It illuminated the dark seabed as if it were daylight. Even the wind and clouds above the sea seemed to shift.

What is this? Ao Qing was utterly shocked and instinctively swam upward a bit.

Two golden dragons of fist-light instantly engulfed the Sea Demon King…

Wang Mu's body was now covered in many bloody gashes. He squinted, watching the Sea Demon King before him.

He wasn't dead. To be precise, his aura remained, though it was much weaker.
