Great Evolution: I Exclusively Possess Earth's Six Supreme Opportunities

"On my command! Shadow Armor, activate disguise mode!" Ghost gave the order again.

The runes on the Shadow Armor surface activated instantly. The team members' figures blurred in the black mist, almost blending into their surroundings.

The tentacles swept across the speedboat. Their force was enough to tear steel plates apart. However, they didn't touch a single team member.

Using the cover of their Shadow Armor, the team members skillfully evaded the attacks. The silent blades in their hands slashed through the black mist, leaving streaks of cold light.

"Target: Tentacle root joint! Attack!"

The ghost charged ahead. The silent blade in his hand was imbued with the true energy refined by the Primordial Qi-Inducing Technique. It sliced ​​through the thick fog, piercing straight at a tentacle.

The tentacle was as thick as a bucket. Its surface was covered with suckers. The ghost precisely located the weakest point in the joint.

The silent blade easily sliced ​​through the tentacle's skin. A foul-smelling, dark green liquid gushed out. The tentacle convulsed violently.

"Second squad, suppressive fire! Disrupt its rhythm!"

The other team members also joined the attack. Although they had only recently entered the Shackled Realm, the spiritual fruit's baptism and the Primordial Qi-Inducing Technique had enhanced their internal energy, making it far more refined than that of ordinary Shackled Realm cultivators. Their silent blades were incredibly sharp, cutting through iron like mud. They aimed at the tentacles' suckers and joints, launching their attacks. Dark green liquid splattered everywhere, and a foul stench filled the air.

"roar!"

The sea monster roared angrily. Its voice carried a mental shock, once again jolting the team members. But having learned from their previous experience, they quickly regained their composure. Su Bai's protection allowed them to withstand most of the impact. The rest depended on their own will.

More tentacles surged from the sea, accompanied by a howling wind. They converged from all directions, completely surrounding the speedboat. The team members were forced to retreat continuously. Although their Shadow Armor could conceal their presence, it could not completely protect them from physical attacks.

"Sir, the power of this thing is not that of an ordinary Shackled Realm cultivator!" The ghost's voice was grave.

He severed one of the thinner tentacles. The severed tentacle writhed in the air, only to be quickly repaired by energy from the black mist. The sea monster's regenerative abilities were astonishing.

"There are too many of them, we can't handle it!" one of the team members shouted.

He was struck by a tentacle. His Shadow Armor screeched as he was swept away, crashing heavily against the speedboat's hull.

"Maintain formation! Don't scatter!" Ghost shouted sternly.

He charged at the sea monster again. This time, he aimed for its main body. He leaped onto a tentacle, using its suckers to quickly climb upwards. The silent blade danced in his hand, each strike ruthless. Dark green blood spurted continuously.

The sea monster's body trembled violently. It seemed to sense a threat. More tentacles emerged from beneath the surface, like a dense fishing net, attempting to ensnare the ghost.

"Captain, watch out!" the team members shouted.

The ghost flipped over, dodging several tentacles that were about to entangle him. His silent blade sliced ​​through the air in a graceful arc, severing two of the entangling tentacles at the base. The severed tentacles fell into the sea, their dark green blood staining the surrounding water crimson.

However, the sea monster's attack did not weaken. On the contrary, it became even more frenzied. It seemed to be enraged by the ghost. More than a dozen tentacles simultaneously lashed out at the ghost.

The ghost was forced into a corner. He activated the Shadow Armor's maximum defensive mode, taking the hit head-on. His body was sent flying by the immense force.

"Captain!" The team members rushed to provide support.

But more tentacles surged from the sea. Their target was everyone on the speedboat. These tentacles were enveloped in a thick black mist. Within the mist, the mental whispers intensified once more. The team members fended off both physical attacks and mental assaults. Their mental energy was being severely depleted, and their physical strength was rapidly waning.

The speedboat teetered precariously under the onslaught of the sea monsters. The hull creaked under the strain.

"Sir, we can't hold on much longer!" Ghost scrambled to his feet. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Cracks had appeared in his Shadow Armor as well.

Su Bai stood at the bow of the ship. He looked at his team members fighting fiercely. His eyes were calm.

"Not bad," he said softly.

The team members' willpower in the face of adversity pleased Su Bai. They had not failed to live up to the favor he had bestowed upon them.

He raised his hand. At his fingertips, a faint wisp of black and white energy condensed once more.

"It seems it's time to let these little guys taste real power," Su Bai said softly.

He made no move. The mere presence of that black and white energy caused the surrounding black mist to begin to dissipate. The whispers vanished instantly.

The sea monster seemed to sense some kind of threat. Its tentacles stopped attacking. Its enormous body writhed restlessly beneath the surface.

Su Bai looked at the sea. The black and white energy danced at his fingertips.

"This thing seems to be a deep-sea demon?" Ghost asked from behind Su Bai.

He looked at the sea beast, his eyes filled with doubt. This thing didn't seem like an ordinary monster.

Su Bai didn't answer him. He just stared at the enormous sea beast.

"A ghost," Su Bai suddenly said.

"What do you think is its core essence?"

The ghost was taken aback. He didn't understand Su Bai's meaning, but he quickly thought of it.

"Based on the focus of its attacks and the speed at which its tentacles repair themselves, its core strength should be deep within its torso. Or rather, in the location of its head," the ghost quickly analyzed.

Su Bai nodded. He withdrew the black and white energy from his fingertips.

"very good."

He looked at the sea monster writhing beneath the surface of the sea.

"Next, I'll show you what true 'destruction before construction' really means."

Su Bai's figure disappeared from the speedboat in an instant as the sea monster twisted.

Ghost and his teammates were startled. They didn't understand what Su Bai was going to do.

The next moment, a massive black and white beam of light shot into the sky from the sea.

The beam of light pierced straight through the sea monster's body.

"roar--!"

The sea monster let out an unprecedentedly mournful scream.

Its body struggled violently within the pillar of light. Its tentacles pounded the sea surface frantically, creating towering waves.

At the center of the black and white beam of light, Su Bai's figure appeared. He held a long sword in his hand.

The sword radiated a golden light. Ancient runes were engraved on it. It was indeed the Xuanyuan Sword!

The Xuanyuan Sword gleamed brightly as it pierced directly into the sea beast's body.

The sea monster's struggles grew weaker and weaker. Its dark green blood began to stain the entire sea red.

Su Bai's figure disappeared into the pillar of light once again amidst the screams of the sea beasts.

When the beam of light dissipated, Su Bai reappeared on the speedboat.

In his hand, there was now a beating heart.

The heart was the size of a millstone. It was dark purple in color and its surface was covered with mysterious runes.

"This is..." the ghost's voice was filled with shock.

Su Bai didn't answer him. He just stared at the heart.

"This thing is rather interesting," Su Bai said softly.

"It seems to be calling out to something."

The black fog on the sea surface became even thicker after the sea monster died.

The surrounding seawater began to be pulled by a force at a visible speed.

A massive whirlpool formed on the sea surface. At the center of the whirlpool, a gigantic black hole appeared.

Su Bai stared at the black hole, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Looks like some more powerful guy has been woken up."
