The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 796 - 324: Fish King - Sky Hammer Armored Shark_3

Ye Hanjun felt a crushing weight on his heart as the pressure of impending doom rose around him.

However, unlike Ye Yin, who encountered this monster and lacked even the courage to fight, opting to disintegrate and escape at the first chance,

he had a Chimera cub following him, openly displaying near-immeasurable combat power. Although just a small class below, there was still a possibility of victory.

"Immortal, do not intervene just yet, you haven’t reached Perfection. It’s too dangerous for you to cross status levels," he said.

"Huazhu, your main responsibility is rescue. Ignore all else and make sure not to be touched by the aftershocks. Act cautiously and stay safe," he instructed.

After giving his instructions, Ye Hanjun lifted the Dominant State from Aegifura, forcibly retracting her as she rolled back her eyes.

Her Nightmare Falcon might be able to join the battle since wild beasts have robust bodies with souls that can become weak points, susceptible to invasion and corruption.

However, having been free of the blood frenzy’s amplifying status for over a year and a half, the Nightmare Falcon was no longer capable of unleashing immeasurable level combat power.

To join the battle, it could only wait for the Sky Hammer Armored Shark to be critically injured and on the brink of death, its blood essence plummeting before seizing its opportunity.

"Absolute String, I need your help," he called out calmly.

With a serene request and a solemn prayer, Ye Hanjun transformed into a Golden Body Demon, sitting cross-legged in the void.

The ancient zither floated in front of him, and as his fingers touched the silver strings, the clear sound of the Guqin flowed like a spring, scattering the agitation deep in hearts and enshrouding each heartstring in an ethereal and immersive touch.

"Clang clang—clang clang clang—"

Without further tuning, Ye Hanjun played "Heaven’s Wrath."

This was the magnum opus of Absolute String, defying the confines established by Heavenly Dao, rising above them, and transcending the limits of the Heaven and Earth Stage.

In the Dominant State, the fusion of Ye Hanjun and Absolute String was equivalent to Heaven and Earth Perfection.

Like close friends who’ve sworn an oath, they needed no conversation; thoughts moved with the heart, fingers with the desire, irresistible at the climax of emotion, extraordinary at the depth of sound, and that was all.

"Boom—"

Dark green lightning split the firmament, and an emerald vortex took shape.

After sufficiently charging up, an ultimate cannon’s mouth, over five hundred meters in diameter, emanating destructive potential, locked onto the Sky Hammer Armored Shark with deadly precision.

"Woooahhh!!!"

The Sky Hammer Armored Shark, with lesser intelligence than the Chimera cub and more in line with the definition of a wild beast,

had survived to this day to claim dominance over the Nether Water, relying on a core advantage that surely had its place in instinct.

It sensed danger!

The path of Lightning, possessing the ferocity of Fire, the despair of Darkness, the majesty of Earth, the mercilessness of a Storm...endowed with a multitude of favors.

Absolute String, as the dominion over the Thunder Element, composed scores that shock the heavens and move spirits. Those who would try to stop its power have only the path of death ahead.

But is the Sky Hammer Armored Shark weak? With a hundred layers of armoring that remained unbroken, its aberrant defensive capabilities have allowed it to survive time and again. It was merely facing attacks from all sides—what was there to fear?

"Roar!"

"Baa!"

"Hiss hiss!"

This was the Chimera cub’s first time witnessing "Sky Wrath" with its own eyes.

They were restless, their wary gazes frequently sweeping the sky, ready to abandon a head-on fight at any moment.

This is the advantage of having intelligence, avoiding the sharp edge when facing the strong, never underestimating the weak; these intangible yet undeniable details also determined the outcome of each battle.

By contrast, after a brief hesitation, the Sky Hammer Armored Shark was ultimately enraged.

It charged madly, violently lashing its tail, everything in its path flattened, its presence like a shark-shaped plow with terrifying force.

"Boom-boom-boom—"

With its hammer-like tail shattering skulls and the snake head, whose scales were broken in half, it dragged the lion head into a new position.Reacting quickly, the lion head rolled clumsily and then, as if fleeing, slipped out a kilometer away, escaping far from the central area.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze; a green-golden spherical bolt of lightning fell straight down from the heavens.

The Sky Hammer Armored Shark had wanted to pursue its prey, but suddenly it struck the ground with its iron tail, performed a shark-like arch, and used its toughest shell to face the destructive lightning ball head-on.

"Boom—rumble-rumble-rumble-rumble—"

In that instant, all the horses were silenced, the hurricanes stilled; heaven and earth were filled with green light, creatures were deprived of sight, and fear corroded their souls.

This was a murderous intent from the heavens, capable of causing even a common man in rage to splatter blood five meters.

How could the wrath of heaven claim sovereignty over the world, its position unmatched, if it couldn’t stack corpses in the millions, blood drifting on the water?

The Sky Hammer Armored Shark let out a pitiful scream; a hundred layers of steel armor remained unbroken, only electric sparks surged, causing its body to char.

The space it occupied was completely submerged by the Thunder Sea.

GuaGua covered his eyes, unable to bear the sight.

At the peak of Soul Calming Mountain, in order to ensure the survival of their kin, the Big Tadpole and the old man had refrained from detonating the condensed Thunder Element directly, thus holding back the strongest strike of Sky Wrath.

But the situation was different now—Little Black Hat and the big iron goose had both fled far away, there were no extra targets to consider, only one enemy remained, and to not give it their all would be reckless arrogance.

"Crackle-crackle-crackle-crackle—"

The Water of the Nether River churned incessantly. The once king of fish, the Sky Hammer Armored Shark, saw its screaming weaken from fierce to feeble, and the blood qi fluctuations it released shifted from dragon-like to mouse-like in an instant, a world apart as if heaven and earth were separated by clouds and mud.

The music of the guqin slowly ceased, and Ye Hanjun opened the blood eye on his forehead, quietly observing the prey’s struggle.

It must be said that the Sky Hammer Armored Shark exemplified the trait of wild beasts being robust as mountains.

Relying on its status of Immeasurable Small Achievement, it had withstood the Sky Wrath.

Despite the thunder patterns entwining its body, electricity piercing through the steel armor and into the flesh, ruthlessly striking its vital veins.

The Sky Hammer Armored Shark was only severely injured, still a small distance from death’s door.

"Roar!"

As the fluctuations of the lightning gradually subsided, the Sky Hammer Armored Shark struggled to rise.

The Chimera cub made a return strike, its lion paw heavily stomping on the shark’s head, its ram horns piercing the gills, and the snake head fiercely biting, penetrating the dim steel armor layer by layer.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Sky Hammer Armored Shark could hold on no longer; eventually, due to failing organs and severe blood loss, it lay on the ground powerless, its breathing halted abruptly, and its life came to an end.
