Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

After having a few more months of free time, Lin Lan focused on improving her cultivation.

"Apas, could you get me a glass of chilled juice?"

The girl, who had just emerged from the contract space, paused and said, "Why don't you ask Little Dragon Princess to get it for you?"

"I'll spank you if you misbehave!"

"Hmph, fine, I'll go!"

Sipping juice and watching Apas dance the snake dance – this is how life should be enjoyed!

The next second, Lingling called.

"Lin Lan, something's happened in Xiamen! The East China Sea Magic Association just announced the Purple Realm. Mo Fan and I are here. Come quick!"

……

Without further ado, Lin Lan set off for Xiamen!

Lin Lan quickly joined Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou.

"Brother Lan, why do we encounter monarch-level demons wherever we go?" Zhang Xiaohou asked.

"Maybe we're just like Conan."

"I've been facing monarchs since I was at the intermediate level... Now that I've reached the super level, I don't really feel anything anymore," Mo Fan said with a shrug.

"Alright, alright, let's guess the level. I guess it's a Grand Monarch this time!" Lin Lan said.

"It's better if it doesn't happen."

……

In the sky, a storm cloud layer tens of thousands of meters thick churned above their heads, as if it were constantly being crushed down towards the sea level.

The torrential rain, coupled with the siren's power to summon tides, further fueled the rising sea levels. The inky black sky and the grey ocean pressed against each other, plunging the entire city into a suffocating atmosphere of oppression.

"Whoosh!!!"

Suddenly, a monstrous wave burst open in the dark sky in the distance, standing tall above the city. The wave was eerily black, thicker than ordinary seawater, like mud.

This scene instantly stunned the three of them.

That wave was far too enormous for a commander-level demon to generate. Behind that terrifying wave, which almost crashed onto the top of the building, must lie a monster of terrifying power!

As the monstrous wave crashed down, the buildings, streets, and wastelands within a kilometer radius would likely be completely wiped out.

They could only watch helplessly as the destructive wave crashed down, a feeling of powerlessness and insignificance instantly washing over them.

The monstrous waves, surging like a tidal wave, were far beyond their ability to handle. Despite being three or four kilometers apart, an overwhelming sense of fear still flooded their minds like a tidal wave.

"He really is a great monarch!" Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed.

Zhang Xiaohou was extremely anxious, but he dared not go forward, yet he could not bear to watch the giant wave devour everything.

Just then, a noble and dazzling silver light suddenly illuminated the world. As the destructive wave was about to hit the city, a mysterious silver psychic force spread out, forcefully holding back the monstrous wave that was about to crash down!

Only now did they realize the location of the battlefield, which was in the sea area next to the Jimei Cross-Sea Bridge.

In that sea area, countless thick, pillar-like streams of water cascaded from the storm clouds into the ocean, seemingly supporting the heavens and the earth—a magnificent and awe-inspiring sight. Between the water columns, a colossal, mountain-like shadow loomed, revealing only a glimpse of its size, yet already radiating a suffocating sense of oppression.

The monstrous wave originated from this ultimate sea beast, its target being the cross-sea bridge.

But this time, the human mage was prepared and intercepted it in the waters three or four kilometers away!
Between the bridge and the sea monsters, countless small floating dots dotted the air and sea surface—all high-level and super-level mages. Though not in formation, they formed a de facto defensive line…

This single sea beast attracted almost all the high-level mages in Xiamen!

The three of them had also come in response to the rallying order. Although they had already reached the Super Rank, in this situation, they were just one of many.

In the sky, thick clouds hung like ink, and on the sea, turbid waves churned. The entire city seemed squeezed between the sky and the sea, teetering on the brink of collapse.

Then a high-level sonic mage arranged everything meticulously.

We waited until Zhao Manyan arrived with Baxia!
Baxia battles two calamities!

This could be said to be the most domineering moment for Zhao Manyan.

"Alright, Baxia, show these two bastards what a totem beast really is!!" Zhao Manyan shouted excitedly, his voice trembling in the sea breeze.

He had never imagined such a day would come, when, as countless mages struggled to hold on, the power that could truly turn the tide of battle was the power he alone had summoned. This thrill of being above all beings was even more intoxicating than conquering a beautiful woman. Zhao Manyan waved his hand, attempting to pour all his wildness and passion into Baxia, issuing what he thought was a heroic battle command:
"superior!!!"

He shouted again, and his voice echoed across the strait.

The enormous Baxia stood silently in the strait, the wide sea beside it appearing as a shallow channel.

It didn't move.

Only its eyes, hidden beneath a thick layer of skin, remained fixed on Qiu Chi and Qiu Zi. As for Zhao Manyan's impassioned commands behind it, to it, they were nothing more than a gentle breeze brushing past its ears.

A silence.

Zhao Manyan's smugness gradually froze, like an actor pushed onto the stage but receiving no applause.

"Old Zhao, stop acting." Mo Fan added insult to injury at the opportune moment.

"Damn it, this old turtle... I've already surpassed the level, and he still doesn't give me any face!" Zhao Manyan was so angry that his face turned red, and he was about to jump up and down.

"Can Baxia handle it? Those two guys are no pushovers." Mo Fan's tone was grave.

"It's probably a bit risky, but perhaps we can ask those great mentors to cooperate with Baxia in making a move," Zhang Xiaohou suggested from the side.

……

Baxia was completely focused, his posture as steady as a mountain.

It cannot attack rashly. Qiu Chi is one of the few sea beasts in the East Sea that can rival it in strength. If it were to act according to Zhao Manyan's reckless command, it would probably be defeated in just a few rounds.

At this point, Qiu Chi appeared increasingly agitated.

It was just one step away from destroying the Jimei Cross-Sea Bridge, welcoming the sea monster army to flood in and turn the entire city into a hunting ground—a feast for their kind.

But the appearance of Baxia completely disrupted its plans.

Humans are constantly leaving, and its carefully laid-out hunting grounds are losing prey, which makes Qiuchi increasingly furious.

"Mmm!!!"

The Prisoner of Chi launched the first attack. Its back stood erect like a sword dragon, and countless tooth-like bone spikes suddenly sprang up, transforming into ferocious spinal swords.

It bowed its head, burying it between its chest and abdomen, like a rhinoceros covered in sharp blades, pointing the sharp edges of its back and nape at its enemy—

"flat basket tray!!!!!!!"

Everyone thought it would charge, but no one expected that this mountain-sized behemoth could unleash such terrifying speed!

The sea and the island shattered the moment it took off, and Qiu Chi transformed into a meteorite covered in sharp blades, traversing the strait and crashing straight into Ba Xia!
"Bang!!!"

The collision of the mountains unleashed a shockwave that swept for kilometers. Qiu Chi thrust his spine-like sword, but Ba Xia met the attack head-on with his bare body!
The immense force propelled Baxia backward, and although it was originally two kilometers away from the bridge, the impact nearly caused it to crash into the bridge pier.

"Don't let them get near the bridge!" Zhao Manyan shouted hurriedly, seeing through the Twin Calamities' intentions.

Baxia's body swirled with brown light, and as the light of its totem shone, its weight suddenly increased, and it sank several inches into the sea, remaining as immovable as a rock.

The shockwave ravaged the Jimei Bridge, but fortunately, many mages had already set up a barrier, otherwise the aftershocks alone would have been enough to destroy the bridge.

"Watch out for the prisoner's eyes!!" Zhao Manyan shouted again.

The cunning and treacherous Qiu Zi took advantage of the stalemate between Qiu Chi and Ba Xia to quietly dive into the sea, circle around behind Ba Xia like a ghost, and suddenly pounce!
Its head is narrow and its face is pointed like a cone, but when it opens its mouth, it expands its bite range several times over—the heat of magma rolls between the exposed fangs in its upper jaw.

This high-temperature biting is the nemesis of many defensive creatures. At this moment, Qiu Chi is firmly suppressing Baxia's head and neck, preventing it from retracting into its hard shell, clearly cooperating with Qiu Zi to complete this "neck-biting execution"!
At the critical moment, the light of the Baxia totem suddenly shone brightly, and a shield of brown energy appeared on its back.

"Keng!!!"

Qiu Zi took a bite, but it felt like biting into a rock; blood gushed from his gums instantly!

It let out a painful howl and hurriedly darted back into the sea, never daring to approach again.

In terms of pure strength, Qiu Zi, being such a "small guy," would not dare to confront Ba Xia head-on—if Ba Xia were to seize an opportunity, it would surely suffer broken bones and tendons!
"Lulu lulu lulu………………"

The Prisoner of the Chi is a disgusting sea beast inhabited by countless parasites from its skin to its body. As it clashed with Baxia, countless leeches silently crawled onto Baxia's body.

These leeches themselves are unlikely to harm Baxia, but they contain potent stomach acid toxins. Once they possess a creature, they explode, splashing their venom onto Baxia's rock-like skin, continuously corroding that seemingly indestructible stone.
