All Things Are Contracts

The monster was 1000 feet tall, like a mountain. Its shape resembled a giant octopus, but it was covered in red armor. Looking closely, each ‘scale’ of the armor seemed to be a human face, etched with fear. The blood-red monster was now staring at Zhanyue with eyes full of killing intent strong enough to scatter his soul.

At some point, Zhanyue’s eyes had turned golden. He had instinctively activated his Lustful Eyes. Although the eye technique had no effect on the monster, it could resist the mental attack from the monster’s gaze, keeping Zhanyue clear-headed. He found himself rapidly falling towards a vast ocean. The monster’s body above the water surface was already so enormous. He quickly summoned the Heaven-Punishing Demon Sword and stood on it.

Seeing that it couldn’t “kill with a glance”, the monster let out a bone-chilling roar that made Zhanyue’s soul feel like it had plunged into an ice cave. He had never encountered such a powerful creature. Without hesitation, Zhanyue removed the vest given by the Illumination Goddess that had been constraining his spiritual power for hard cultivation. Instantly, he felt his body become incredibly light, his internal power flowing smoothly.

Next, he threw out a purple wooden block which transformed into his doppelganger, Demon Shark. The Demon Shark swallowed the woman in Zhanyue’s arms, then dropped into the sea, using water escape techniques to flee at high speed. Zhanyue’s main body had donned the Silver Moon Armor and embedded the Great Sun Sea Burning Pearl into it, maximizing the armor’s power.

Seeing something escape, the monster extended a tentacle at incredible speed towards the Demon Shark doppelganger.

“Break!” Zhanyue swung his sky-piercing halberd. The terrifying force penetrated the sea surface, striking the tentacle directly. The powerful impact shattered the tentacle, but it regenerated almost instantly.

With a hint of mockery, the monster roared, and suddenly a thousand tentacles appeared. It wanted to see how Zhanyue would defend against this. Facing one tentacle required Zhanyue’s full power, let alone a thousand.

Zhanyue suddenly took out an object – a dark blue pearl. It was his first time using this treasure, unsure of its power, so he used it with all his might. Instantly, a terrifying gale arose, freezing the entire ocean in front of Zhanyue solid. Both the pursuing tentacles and the sea beneath the monster were frozen solid.

“The Sea Burning Pearl and River Freezing Pearl are indeed extraordinary treasures. This freezing speed must be faster than ordinary divine abilities,” Zhanyue marveled while fleeing at high speed on his flying sword. Moments later, the monster forcibly broke through the ice, its countless tentacles frantically whipping the ice surface, shattering all the frozen ice. It tried to give chase, but chains deep in the sea kept it firmly sealed in place, unable to move. It could only let out angry roars.
