Witch, I'm really not an ancient god of the deep sea!

Chapter 370 Time Stops
"Attack together!" The restless, bloodthirsty pirates fell into a brief silence.

They acknowledged the Ice Witch's power, but also believed in their great Whale Father!

As Whale Father said, even if the Ice Witch is resurrected, she will only be a stumbling block to his grand plan!
Moreover, the Azure Beast, having consumed the blood of the Great Whale, had materialized its spiritual energy field, completely overwhelming the witch!

The pirates of the Black Whale Gang sneered:
"The boastful witch..."

"Do not be afraid, the Azure Beast that has consumed the blood of the Great Whale is invincible!"

The Ice Witch had just recovered, and her spiritual energy field was very weak... The Black Death Doctor looked at the panicked little crow in the corner:
"Little crow, you must have figured it out by now, right?"

Hmm? A question mark appeared above the head of the little crow who was praying for a successful start to the day.

She hesitated for a moment, then stood up and looked at the witch on the icy plain.

Although it would be difficult for ordinary people to detect, as a doctor who had studied the bodies of deep-sea titans, Little Raven could sense the Ice Witch's subtle abnormality.

She could sense that the Ice Witch was extremely weak, her body like a fragile piece of glass, which would be severely damaged with the slightest touch.

Even she, if she could get close to the Ice Witch, might be able to kill her!
Living in the Witch's Coffin would cause irreversible and serious damage to the body.

"The Ice Witch will die if she makes even one mistake..."

The little crow looked at the witch and clenched its fists nervously.

On the icy plains, the Ice Witch walked toward the center of the battlefield, casually taking off her hunter's coat to reveal a thin mage's robe underneath.

The Azure Beast twisted its neck, completely focused. It abandoned the long sword in its hand and instead bent its body, adopting a hunting posture like a wild wolf!

The Ice Witch seemed oblivious to the Azure Beast, and said calmly:
Do you know what the difference is between the fourth and fifth tiers?

"A question?" Chen Qi blinked.

He never expected that the Ice Witch would ask him a question at this moment.

I pondered for a moment at the start of the morning.

The reason why fourth-tier extraordinary beings are regarded as the end point of extraordinary beings by many is because it is the last stage of spiritual power cultivation.

At this stage, the total amount of spiritual energy has reached the limit that the soul and body can bear, like a huge lake.

If you want to break through this limit, you must reshape both your soul and your body at the same time.

However, neither reshaping the soul nor the body is something that a fourth-tier transcendent can do.

In addition, Tier 5 class cards cannot be obtained through conventional means.

That is why, in order to advance to the fifth rank, one must rely on the rift that contains infinite possibilities.

Chen Qi gathered his thoughts and answered the witch's question:
"There are many differences, but in essence, it is still a difference in the total amount of spiritual energy."

The total spiritual power of a fully-formed fifth-tier saint is more than ten times that of a fourth-tier legend.

A glint flashed in the Ice Witch's eyes. Many extraordinary individuals nowadays believe that the fifth rank represents another sublimation of spiritual power.

The Ice Witch continued:

"That's right. After the fourth-order transcendent spiritual power sublimates, their spiritual power can be ever-changing and touch upon domains that disregard the laws of the world..."

The Ice Witch flicked her hand, and a longsword of ice crystals materialized in her grasp.
"In an era when rifts were scarce, they constantly experimented and refined their skills in manipulating spiritual energy, transforming it into purer forms of qi, blade power, lamp power, and so on, in order to seek a more powerful domain..."

Therefore, many people believe that the rules of a domain are the perfect embodiment of skill.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Chen Qi's eyes.

As the Ice Witch said, the domain is the embodiment of the limits of a fourth-order transcendent's skills.

At this moment, the Ice Witch's lips curled into a faint smile:
"However, in reality, as long as one has enough spiritual power, the domain that a fourth-tier transcendent being has painstakingly cultivated for a hundred years is nothing more than a casual move of a fifth-tier being..."

The moment the words left his mouth, the azure beast, like a wounded tiger, launched an attack!

The azure beast, having drunk the blood of the great whale, possessed incredibly powerful broad shoulders and a physique as strong as a burning giant bear!

Its beast-like charge was like the crash of a runaway train, while the blue flames behind it were like a raging tsunami!

Its power and speed are enough to incinerate a legendary figure in the blink of an eye!
Pure monstrous power—this is the Azure Beast!

The Ice Witch turned around and calmly uttered a single word:
"slow."

The gentle, soft words echoed across the icy plains, like a valley reverberating in the air.

Then, light snowflakes drifted down from around the Ice Witch.

The azure beast, which moved like a giant predator, slowed down more and more as it came within ten meters of the Ice Witch...

Everything around us seemed to be in slow motion.

The Azure Beast's speed decreased more and more, until it dropped by fifty times!
In that instant, the azure beast seemed to transform into a slowly moving, dynamic ink painting!
Chen Qi's eyes flickered.

This power is very similar to his domain, 'Rift Slash'.

The Domain of Condensation is also recorded in the Rift Slash.

If a fourth-tier transcendent being wants to use this level of technique, they must activate the Liberation skill, which consumes most of their spiritual power.

Although the power was much weaker, the Ice Witch did not consume a lot of spiritual power or sever a rift in another world when she released this move.

brush!
The Ice Witch took a step forward and leisurely walked up to the burning azure beast.

Snapped!
With a gentle flick of her wrist, the Ice Witch made changes to her masterpiece, like an elegant painter.

brush!
A burst of pale, ink-like power erupted and poured into the azure beast!
The Ice Witch spoke again, her voice ringing like a bell:

"touch."

The slow dissipation of the surrounding world began to accelerate.

In the instant the 'slow release' occurred, a gruesome wound suddenly appeared on the azure beast's chest, growing ever larger!

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, the wound expanded rapidly, transforming into a ten-meter-long pale blade of energy!
Under this slash, the Azure Beast was forced to retreat a hundred meters!

However, even with a chilling crack in its chest, embedded in its spine, the Azure Beast showed no fear in its eyes.

Instead, he twisted his neck and sneered:
"That's it? This level of condensation is even weaker than a hunter's!"

Hunter… A hint of cat-like curiosity flashed in the Ice Witch’s eyes.

quack!

quack!

The azure beast twisted its neck repeatedly, emitting warning sounds:

"Neither of us is in a perfect state, and in the balance between the fifth rank, spiritual power determines everything!"

"Ice Witch, what a pity. If you hadn't just awakened, and your spiritual energy field wasn't in its current state, I might not be your match at all..."

"However, you are now as weak as a wild rabbit that can be seen anywhere, and your spiritual energy field has been suppressed by me. Are you facing me in its entirety?"

How long can you hold out?!

The Azure Beast's face grew increasingly ferocious.

His spiritual energy field is still expanding!

The spiritual energy field... The Ice Witch's cold expression showed a frown for the third time.

Something's not right.

Bang!
Bang!
With a thunderous roar, the blue burning energy on the Azure Beast's body expanded rapidly, stirring up wave after wave of fierce steam!

The massive blue steam even deterred Fen and Chenqi, who were watching from afar!

Weak Fen raised her hand, watching this scene with nervousness.

The second phase has begun... Chen Qi's gaze turned cold.

The Azure Beast's fourth-tier class, like him, is a deep-sea monster. In its long life, it has consumed various mutated creations, come into contact with the power of the deep sea, and undergone hundreds of flesh and blood modifications. The flesh and blood beneath its skin have long since transcended the realm of humans.

Hidden beneath the human skin are over a hundred kinds of twisted monstrous powers, which even the Azure Beast finds difficult to suppress after he ascends to sainthood.

Therefore, for most of the time, the Azure Beast completely sealed these powers.

The Azure Beast had been suppressing it, and it was unable to unleash any command from its brain!
These forces will only be released under one condition:
That is when facing real death and fear.

These forces combine to create an extremely ferocious, bloodthirsty behemoth that disregards everything!

At the same time, in this state, he can merge with the blue flames and ignore the effects of most areas!

And now, under the power of the black whale, the sealed power of the Azure Beast is erupting! "Oh no..." Chen Qi warned.

"Ice Witch, the second phase is coming. Be careful, she can ignore your slowness..."

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed in the Ice Witch's eyes.

However, the Azure Beast wouldn't give her a chance to think!

He was like a ferocious beast, lying on the ground and charging forward!
When he reappeared, he was already behind the Ice Witch.

On the body of the Azure Beast, one after another beastly face converged, and countless twisted, roaring muscles burst forth from its body.

His eyes flashed with a beastly light, and his entire body suddenly swelled five times its original size in the blink of an eye!
The people on the icy plains were shocked, and even the Blizzard Dragon King, who was sleeping a hundred miles away, opened his dragon eyes.

That surging spiritual energy field is the prelude to the strongest liberation!

Everyone was shocked. In legends, the complete release of a fifth-order Saint was enough to destroy a city!

Despite the Azure Beast's extreme weakness, its liberation was far beyond anything a legend could achieve!
Boom!

"Blade Dissection. Azure Pendant!"

The Azure Beast unleashed all of its surging monstrous power, wielding its unimaginably enormous claws with the force of a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down, like a blue comet falling from the sky!

boom!
The immense power crashed down on the Ice Witch's head, which gleamed with a cold light.

The air seemed to be torn apart at that moment, and a piercing sonic boom echoed across the vast ice field!
The Ice Witch whispered again:
"slow……"

However, it's too slow!
The Ice Witch's 'slow' efficiency is too slow!
It's unclear whether it's because the Azure Beast is too fast, or because the Azure Beast has adapted to condensation.

As it turned out, the Azure Beast's speed did not decrease under the 'Slow' effect; instead, it became even more powerful!
Speed ​​and power have both approached their limits!
Wow! Wow!
The scorching air currents emanating from the Azure Beast alone had already pierced through the Ice Witch's body!
Whoosh! The ice crystal protective layer on the Ice Witch's body melted rapidly, and a small wound appeared on the Ice Witch's right cheek—

The legendary witch has finally bled.

The azure beast accelerated, roaring inwardly:
"die!!!!!"

The Ice Witch turned her head to look at the azure beast above her.

Her bright red eyes finally showed a serious expression.

But it's a pity...

It was too late. Even a fifth-tier expert with maximum speed couldn't dodge the killing move at this distance.

It's all too late!
Click!

In the next breath, the Azure Beast unleashed its killing move, causing the entire icy plain to tremble violently!
Boom boom boom!

A deafening roar, loud enough to pierce the eardrum, was emitted.

In an instant, an avalanche occurred, the entire ice field's terrain suddenly cracked open, and a massive blue flame erupted like a volcanic eruption, causing a tremendous earthquake!
Even the enormous ghost ship lurched violently!
Its power is so great that it can distort the terrain!

Everyone stared in disbelief at the scene. Although they had heard of the power of the fifth-order liberation in legends, they still trembled when they saw it with their own eyes.

This overwhelming attack is enough to annihilate several naval warships in an instant.

The group struggled to keep their footing, watching the massive cloud of dust slowly dissipate.

In the center of the icy ruins, the azure beast, its body completely twisted into a five-meter-tall behemoth, spoke in an almost hoarse voice:
"Goodbye, witch..."

After saying that, he put away his fist, which was heated to several thousand degrees Celsius.

However, the instant he finished speaking, the Ice Witch appeared on his massive arm, gracefully pointing her longsword at the Azure Beast's throat.

The Ice Witch's expression returned to composure:
"You're too slow, puppy."

The Ice Witch was unharmed, and the arrogance in her eyes remained undiminished.

Everyone was startled and looked at the scene before them in bewilderment!
The speed and power of the Azure Beast just now were the ultimate violence, truly fifth-tier speed and power!
"How is this possible? It should have been a crushing defeat..."

The Black Death Doctor clenched his fist.

Even other saints would not be able to dodge this attack by relying on speed and strength.

Is the Ice Witch's speed even greater than this?!
Everyone looked puzzled.

Among the astonished crowd, only Chen Qi saw what had just happened.

It's a perfect condensation...

Just now, the Ice Witch used the condensation of 'Rift Slash' to dodge the impact once again.

However, it's different from Chen Qi's technique.

The freezing of the Ice Witch not only slows down speed, but also stops other people's thoughts.

Currently, Chen Qi's spiritual power is simply insufficient to achieve this.

What surprised Chen Qi even more was that the witch released almost no spiritual power during the process!
Therefore, in the eyes of others, the Ice Witch simply used her speed to dodge the Azure Beast's attack.

In a sense, this is time stopping within a certain range!
Just now, the Ice Witch froze for about three seconds.

Chen Qi took a deep breath. Because he had studied the Ice Witch's moves and reached a very high level, he was able to maintain his rationality and see the witch's moves clearly during this special time stop.

However, even so...

Amidst the aftershocks of the Azure Beast's attack, the Ice Witch's long white hair fluttered in the wind.

Sometime during the day, a bright red stain appeared on her hair.

Even the aftershocks of liberation were enough to damage her fragile body.

The Ice Witch gently stroked her hair, glanced at Chen Qi and Fen's shocked expressions, and smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, my strength and speed are far superior to his."

Then, she turned around and unleashed a spell in front of everyone.

The Azure Beast's body, now fully unleashed, was riddled with holes due to the chaos of its own power!

"..."

The Azure Beast looked at the Ice Witch on its fist, and its whole body trembled uncontrollably.

Even with his all-out attack, he failed to harm the Ice Witch!
"it's over……"

With a casual strike, the Ice Witch blasted the Azure Beast a hundred meters away, knocking it to the ground.

As she finished speaking, the wound on the Ice Witch's face widened further.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Fresh blood dripped down the scar and onto the ground.

The Ice Witch... Chen Qi had a bad feeling.

In the instant that 'time stopped,' he had seen a trace of fear on the Ice Witch's face.

After dealing with the Azure Beast, the Ice Witch gracefully dismounted from its body and walked towards Fen and Chen Qi.

The outcome has been decided.

Looking at the scene before her, Fen exclaimed excitedly:

"teacher!!!"

"Humph--"

The Ice Witch smiled slightly, as if defeating the azure beast before her was merely a trivial matter.

The numerous pirate crews clenched their fists, their eyes filled with fear, as they witnessed the scene before them.

If they had faced the Azure Beast's deadly attack head-on, their entire Black Whale Gang would have been wiped out.

I wonder how much power the Ice Witch still has unused!

However, only Chen Qi, Doctor Black Death, and Little Raven noticed that the Ice Witch's body was having problems...

Is the Ice Witch's arm trembling?
The Ice Witch's body at this moment is perhaps like a candle flickering in the wind.

Huff, huff, huff... The Ice Witch frowned slightly, revealing a faint sense of powerlessness.

Chen Qi asked:
"Ice Witch, do you need me to help you up?"

The attack she just delivered had exhausted all her strength.

The Ice Witch glanced at Chen Qi suspiciously, then raised her head high and said confidently:

"unnecessary."
