Chapter 852 - 851: Raging Waves? Break Them With a Single Sword!

Gu Yuexi faced the attacks of the ordinary Sea Demons. Using ordinary equipment was just right; it could temper her Divine Power to the greatest extent. It wasn’t until the Integration Realm Peak Sea Demon appeared, and an ordinary longsword could no longer break through its Defense, that she finally brought out her trump card equipment.

Ultimately, empowered by the threefold boost of the Empress Battle Armor and the formidable Sword Intent of the Godslaying Ruins Sword, Gu Yuexi still only needed a single strike to slay that Integration Realm Peak Sea Demon. Going all out in this life-and-death battle, her Realm finally broke through from the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer to the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer.

Moreover, it was not just the Early Stage of the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer. She had leaped straight to the Peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer. She was now only a single step away from the Divinity Transformation Realm Third Layer. She was very satisfied with the Cultivation Speed of this Cultivation Technique. It was much faster than she had initially anticipated.

Now, the simultaneous arrival of three Integration Realm Peak shark Sea Demons doubled the pressure. They were undoubtedly the most suitable stepping stones for her to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm Third Layer. As long as she could withstand this wave, she was confident in breaking straight through the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer and advancing to the Divinity Transformation Realm Third Layer.

This time, Gu Yuexi did not stand in place and wait passively. With a light flick of her sleeves, she flew directly into the air, hovering on the same horizontal level as the heads of the three shark Sea Demons, standing with her sword in hand.

The eldest of the three shark Sea Demons looked Gu Yuexi up and down, then spoke on behalf of the brothers. "Human, we brothers have been watching your battle from afar. We admit that you do have some skill. Your ability to kill enemies above your Realm is quite good. With just the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer... Wait, you’ve actually advanced to the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer!" the eldest shark Sea Demon suddenly exclaimed mid-sentence. Clearly, it had noticed the change in Gu Yuexi’s Realm.

Before the battle began, Gu Yuexi clearly only had a Cultivation of the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer. How did she become a Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer right in the middle of a fight?

However, the eldest shark Sea Demon quickly regained its composure, its tone still laced with disdain. "Although we don’t know how you advanced from the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer to the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer, it doesn’t matter. To us brothers, there is no difference between the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer and the Divinity Transformation Realm First Layer. You are all just ants.

"You are indeed strong to be able to jump two Grand Realms to slay an Integration Realm Peak. But in front of us three brothers, it’s far from enough. Every single one of us three brothers is at the Integration Realm Peak. When we combine our strength..."

The eldest shark Sea Demon paused, its tone brimming with intense pride. "We once joined forces and fought a True God Realm Human Race Cultivator to a draw! You are nothing but a junior in the Divinity Transformation Realm. What do you have to fight us with?!

"We advise you to quickly call out the Human Race Cultivators lying in ambush. Perhaps that can save your life. If you continue to resist stubbornly, you won’t even get the chance to cry for help."

Among the three shark Sea Demons, it was the eldest who had been throwing out harsh words at Gu Yuexi from beginning to end. The gazes of the second and third shark Sea Demons had never even rested on her. The two of them were constantly on alert, monitoring their surroundings. The moment an ambush revealed itself, they would turn and flee without hesitation. This was what they had agreed upon before scaling the city wall. The eldest was responsible for attacking and talking, while the other two were in charge of standing guard and covering the rear. If they noticed anything amiss, they would immediately slip away!

The Flying Shark Brothers had participated in countless battles between the Human Race and the Sea Demons, and had seen plenty of grand spectacles. No matter how tragic the battle, the three brothers were always able to retreat unscathed. They didn’t rely on overwhelming strength, but rather on their extraordinary caution. They never greedily claimed credit, and they never advanced rashly.

After the eldest shark Sea Demon blathered on and on with its threats, Gu Yuexi responded with only two sentences. Her tone was flat, yet filled with utter impatience. "If you want to fight, fight. If not, get out. You are demons, not an ocean. Why are you overflowing with so much nonsense?"

The first sentence, the three shark Sea Demon brothers understood perfectly. She was complaining about their endless talking and telling them to hurry up and fight. But at the second sentence, their brains couldn’t quite process it. What did "overflowing with nonsense" mean?

However, they were certain of one thing. If they didn’t defeat or kill the Female Cultivator in front of them, the Human Race’s so-called "ambush" definitely wouldn’t show itself. She was making it clear that she intended to fight them all by herself.

The three shark Sea Demon brothers exchanged a glance and nodded, no longer hesitating.

"Since you’re looking for death, we brothers will give you a free burial at sea!" the eldest shark Sea Demon roared furiously, fiercely swinging down the giant trident in its hand. "Heaven-Shaking Tidal Wave!"

Following its roar, the seawater beneath them instantly began to churn, transforming into a deep blue wall of waves over ten meters high that surged toward Gu Yuexi with overwhelming force. The wall of water closed in from all directions, completely sealing off the Space around her and leaving no room to dodge.

The eldest shark Sea Demon used almost its full strength for this strike. The seawater was infused with the Law of Water jointly unleashed by the three brothers, making it incredibly powerful. But in reality, the second and third brothers hadn’t actually struck. They were still keeping an eye on their surroundings, guarding against the "ambush" that could appear at any moment. It was just that the miniature ocean beneath their feet was jointly controlled by all three brothers, which meant they were sharing their Power of Law. Therefore, the eldest shark Sea Demon acting alone was equivalent to borrowing the joint Power of Law of all three brothers. Against a mere Divinity Transformation Realm Cultivator, it was more than enough!

Under normal circumstances, this "Heaven-Shaking Tidal Wave" could smash the Divine Body of an ordinary Integration Realm Peak Cultivator to pieces! Even a Half-Step True God Realm Human Race Cultivator wouldn’t be able to block it entirely and would at least suffer some moderate injuries. Not to mention, Gu Yuexi was merely a Low Level Cultivator at the Divinity Transformation Realm Second Layer.

In their eyes, Gu Yuexi would undoubtedly die from this strike. Not even bone fragments would remain. Thus, as the waves completely swallowed Gu Yuexi’s figure, the eldest shark Sea Demon withdrew its gaze. Joining the second and third brothers, it vigilantly scanned the surrounding city walls. They had already taken it as a given that Gu Yuexi was dead. What they needed to guard against now was the Human Race Cultivators lying in ambush suddenly leaping out to launch a sneak Attack after her death.

Just as the three shark Sea Demon brothers were fully focused on their surroundings, waiting for the ambush to appear, a resonant and cold shout suddenly rang out from within the thick waves they had just conjured.

"Slash!"

It was just a single word, yet it carried peerless Sword Intent. The next second, the wave infused with the mighty Law of Water—capable of crushing even an Integration Realm Peak to death—was forcefully cleaved in half right down the middle. The split seawater seemed to tremble, obediently stopping on both sides without daring to cross the boundary. Right in the middle of the wave, a passage over ten meters long and utterly devoid of seawater was forcefully carved out.

Holding the Godslaying Ruins Sword, Gu Yuexi walked out of the passage slowly with steady footsteps. The golden light of her Battle Armor flowed, and not a single drop of water stained her body. It wasn’t until she had completely stepped out of the wave’s range and stood before the three brothers that the turbulent seawater surrounding her scattered and retreated in a panic, like a Rat that had seen a cat. It did not dare leave even a single drop of seawater by Gu Yuexi’s side!
