In the intelligence reports, this Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon has a talent skill called Sand Containing Shadow.

Among the Water Demons of the same tier, its physical strength is considered weak.

Its attack method predominantly revolves around stealth and ambush.

Unexpectedly, it also has a formidable soul attack talent skill hidden.

During battle.

Even the slightest carelessness would lead to getting charmed by it, causing chaotic thoughts to arise and transform into Demon Spirit Karma Flame, burning the cultivator's soul.

Fortunately, the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast lacks a soul and is unaffected.

Shen Xuan, upon sudden encounter, almost fell for the trickery of the Three-legged Water Fox.

Luckily, with his determined spirit and Wisdom Sword Slashes Dusty Thoughts, he quickly returned to normal.

Even so, Shen Xuan was terribly exhausted.

He consumed more than half of his spiritual power and soul, and with the assistance of the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast, he managed to kill the Three-legged Water Fox.

"Therefore, never underestimate any opponent! Whether they are Demon Beasts or cultivators!"

With his current strength.

In the nearshore domain.

He is stronger than an average late-stage Foundation Establishment.

Yet, he almost fell victim to the Three-legged Water Fox.

"No wonder the sea chart Jade Scroll from Tang Renhao marks only Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons!"

Obviously.

Tang Renhao and others are not unwilling to hunt these Water Demons.

But they lack the strength!

Shen Xuan stored away the beast bag, surfaced above the ocean, and looked towards the vast, limitless sea.

In the deep sea, he does not know how many Water Demons dwell, numerous like the stars.

Continue!

Shen Xuan, you can do it!

After boosting his morale, Shen Xuan rode on the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast and proceeded forward.

...

More than ten days later.

A thousand miles away from the coastline.

In a pitch-black deep-sea domain.

Here, five hundred zhang below the sea surface.

There is not a trace of light.

A dead silence pervades.

The Water Demons living here are all bizarrely shaped, fiercely grotesque, and extremely vicious.

The severe water pressure deters Water Technique Foundation Establishment cultivators.

This depth of the seabed poses too great a risk for them, threatening their lives.

Even if they can barely withstand the water pressure, they are still not a match for these Tier Two Water Demons.

The human race is yet human; it hasn't evolved to the degree of Water Demons living in harmony with water.

Of course.

For Shen Xuan, this is not an issue.

Shen Xuan's silhouette speeds forward, transforming into a streak of azure lightning.

Before him lies a Purple Lightning Dragon Eel with a demon body ten zhang long.

Its slender body is the offspring of a hybrid between a Divine Dragon and an eel, flickering all over with arcs of purple lightning.

It was originally the overlord of this sea domain.

Now, in a fluster, it flees like an arrow, swaying its long tail.

Shen Xuan pursues relentlessly.

This Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demon possesses a talent skill crucial to Shen Xuan's survival.

Shen Xuan is determined to acquire it!

Earlier, he managed to locate it.

Shen Xuan summoned the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast; together, they fought the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel vehemently.

The result was disappointing.

The Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast with immense power could not trap the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

Every time it drew near, a barrage of purple arcs would strike down.

Though the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast is lifeless and feels no pain.

It was still jolted into quivering tentacles, its demon power freezing, unable to function smoothly.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel seized the chance to flee.

Only because Shen Xuan's Water Control skill was perfected could he keep pace with the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

Like a Flood Dragon, he roamed the seabed freely, unaffected by the pervasive water pressure.

"Fortunately, I seized the perfect-level Water Control bloodline talent from the Red Flame Flood Dragon!"

Otherwise, Shen Xuan really wouldn't know how to tackle this Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

With perfected Water Control talent skill accompanied by Great Success-level Water Repellent, Iron Bone, Infinite Strength, and Overturning Rivers and Seas, he navigated the deep sea with ease.

Seeing the narrowing distance with the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

Guided by divine thought.

"Moo!"

The Bishui Sword suddenly erupted, transforming into an ice blue Divine Dragon ten zhang long with a faint hint of dragon might across the dark abyss of the deep sea.

With all talent skills augmenting at full force.

The savage aura of the ice blue Divine Dragon swiftly spread into the surroundings.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel ahead abruptly halted, turned and released a purple lightning as thick as a barrel and over a hundred zhang long!

"Damn!"

Shen Xuan executed Water Repelling Technique, rendering the water region ahead vacuum-like, reducing ninety percent of the purple lightning's power.

Nonetheless.

His body was numbed by the remaining ten percent of the purple lightning's vibration.

"Ultimately not perfected!"

Shen Xuan silently sighed.

Vacuum does not conduct electricity.

Unfortunately, his Water Repelling Technique is yet to reach perfection, merely approaching vacuum.

Thus, one-tenth of the purple lightning's power was able to spread through.

Thankfully, he possessed Thunder God's Fury and Sea-Covering Thunder and could be considered a Thunder cultivator, with strong physical thunder resistance.

Otherwise, even this one-tenth purple lightning would gravely damage the Dao Foundation of regular Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The Bishui Sword, augmented by numerous talent skills, transformed into an ice blue Divine Dragon, carrying with it violent spiritual power vibrations, piercing through the purple lightning, hurtling towards the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel.

"Boom!"

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel, ten zhang long, barely defended against the Bishui Sword's strike, its aura immediately waned as it was blasted away, with Immortal-Slaying Water Qi seeping rapidly into its organs.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel's demon body paused momentarily, then exerted demon power, fleeing at full speed!

"You're still trying to escape!"

Shen Xuan pursued relentlessly.

Periodically casting spells, the Bishui Sword persistently assaulted the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel's demon body.

Time slowly passed.

Half an hour later.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Eel's demon power scattered, finally pierced through the heart by the Bishui Sword.

The massive demon corpse floated powerlessly, emitting flickering arcs of purple lightning that glimmered, drifting into the surrounding waters.

A trace of joy emerged in Shen Xuan's eyes.

If his assumption is correct, the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel holds the bloodline talent he desperately needs.

This pertains to life and death.

After collecting the Purple Lightning Dragon Eel, Shen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk and dripped a drop into his mouth.

The largely depleted spiritual power and soul quickly recovered.

"The Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk costs 50,000 spirit stones per bottle, and this drop is worth 5,000 spirit stones!"

Surely, there's a reason for its high cost.

Even a single drop of Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk quickly restored fifty percent of Shen Xuan's spiritual power and soul within a few breaths.

The deep sea waters returned to dead silence.

At this moment.

Shen Xuan was filled with joy.

"Seven Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons, and within a month's time, I have slain three."

His one-month harvest exceeds what ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon Hunters achieve in their lifetime!

Additionally, these three Middle Grade Water Demons all possessed unique bloodline talents of great use to him.

Shen Xuan seemed to see a bright path beckoning to him.

In his perspective, hunting Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons is the best strategy for swiftly enhancing his strength.

"Should I continue or hunt the remaining four Water Demons?"

After a brief contemplation, Shen Xuan reached a decision.

Having been out for over a month.

His mind was exhausted.

Even with the Ten Thousand Years Spirit Milk to recover spiritual power and soul.

Overexertion is ultimately detrimental to the body.

The other four Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons have occupied their territories for a long time.

Each of them is quite challenging to deal with.

Moreover, searching for them also requires time.

The sea is not like the land.

The Water Demons roam extensively.

The farther from the shoreline, the deeper the sea, the greater the danger.

Not just Tier Two Top Grade, Top Grade Water Demons.

Even encountering a Tier Three Demon King is possible.

Upon consideration, Shen Xuan concluded there was no need to take risks.

These three Tier Two Middle Grade Water Demons sufficed for his refinement for two years.

Bearing such a heavy beast bag.

Even with Infinite Strength, perfected Water Control, Great Success Iron Bone, capable of Overturning Rivers and Seas, it was somewhat strenuous.

Moreover, during the battle, the Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast suffered damage.

The Taiyin Corpse Beast lacks life or blood.

The Shadow Octopus Corpse Beast, possessing excellent Self-Healing talent, also needs sufficient high-tier Taiyin Corpse Beast Fluid to replenish corpse power for recovery.

With this in mind, Shen Xuan flashed his figure, transformed into azure light, and ascended from the depths to the surface.
