Splash—
After Chu Feng and the Magma Emperor plunged into the sea, the waves churned violently and scorching heat rose in massive plumes.
The seawater in this region was evaporating — and at a terrifying pace. In the span of just a few moments, the once-bottomless ocean had vanished entirely.
It had been boiled away. The heat radiating from the Magma Emperor was so monstrous that it had completely evaporated every drop of seawater in the area.
And now, the silhouettes of Chu Feng and the Magma Emperor were laid bare.
Yet for all his power, the Magma Emperor could do nothing but lie at the bottom of the deep, helplessly enduring as Chu Feng's fists hammered down upon his body, over and over again.
BOOM—
BOOM—
BOOM—
One punch. Two punches. Ten punches. A hundred punches…
The speed of Chu Feng's fists was not particularly fast — one could clearly make out every motion as his fist descended — but the Magma Emperor simply could not dodge.
Moreover, the force behind each blow was staggering. The shockwaves alone were enough to push back the surrounding ocean, widening the airless abyss with every strike until not a single drop of water could reach them. The barren zone only continued to grow.
It was supposed to be the deep sea, yet it looked like an immeasurable underwater canyon. Any ordinary person witnessing this sight would have thought they were dreaming.
But to the Four Great Sacred Beasts, it was perfectly natural. At Chu Feng's level, a single thought could annihilate every being weaker than himself within a radius of ten thousand miles. Repelling an ocean with his fists was nothing more than child's play.
Still, the Four Sacred Beasts were not focused on that. Their eyes were locked on the Magma Emperor.
Beneath Chu Feng's unadorned, brutally simple assault, the Magma Emperor's physical body was steadily disintegrating. His once-overwhelming aura grew weaker with every passing moment.
At the same time, the power of Chu Feng's formation intertwined with his fists, ceaselessly gnawing at the Magma Emperor from within.
Because what the Magma Emperor possessed now was not an ordinary physical body — it was a half-finished Ancestral Armament. To subdue it, the art of sealed formations would prove invaluable.
"You bastard — you despicable human! You dare try to forcibly control this Emperor?! You will never succeed!!!" Seeing himself on the verge of collapse, the Magma Emperor let out another furious roar of defiance.
"Qinglong, Bai Hu, Zhuque, Xuan Wu — are the four of you really going to serve this brat?!"
"He is ruthless and cunning, shameless and treacherous! If you swear allegiance to him, you would be the most foolish creatures in existence!"
"Now I'll give you a chance to turn things around. Join forces with me, help me kill him, and together we will rule the Martial Sacred Continent and crush every last one of these despicable vermin!" Yet what no one expected was that, even with defeat staring him in the face, the Magma Emperor would turn to the Four Great Sacred Beasts and beg for their help.
"Magma Emperor — were your wits destroyed by ten thousand years of imprisonment?"
"To think you would ask us for help. You truly have no shame."
The Four Sacred Beasts mocked him without mercy. They were irreconcilable enemies of the Magma Emperor — they had fought him to the death all those years ago, and had very nearly sacrificed their own lives just to seal him away.
