I'll make you the furnace and the cauldron, so you can refine Yin and Yang and prove the Great

With Li Hanshan's intervention, the battle between the divine generals became much smoother.

"Uncle Liu, what's going on with these sea monsters?"

"I don't know, he must be helping us."

The divine generals sensed something amiss, but their divine senses were too weak to detect Li Hanshan's attack.

However, Uncle Liu still saw Li Hanshan make a move.

The gods all glanced at Li Hanshan, just in time to see him use his finger as a sword to cut a sea beast in two.

"That's amazing."

The gods were amazed.

They didn't have much time to pay attention to Li Hanshan, because the sea monsters were coming again.

On Li Hanshan's side, sea monsters were also charging in.

His divine sense once again pierced into the consciousness of a sea beast.

The sea beast, covered in jet-black scales and shaped like a giant crocodile, suddenly froze, its forward momentum abruptly halted, and its massive body slid forward several feet due to inertia, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Li Hanshan dodged its sweeping giant tail, condensed spiritual power at his fingertips, and precisely pierced its exposed eye socket.

The sea monster let out a short, mournful cry, and then fell completely silent.

This was the seventh third-tier sea beast he had killed using his divine sense attack technique combined with pure yang energy.

My spiritual energy is being consumed too quickly.

The golden light on the surface of the divine infant in his dantian had dimmed considerably. His spiritual power had recovered to less than 10%, and every move he made was an overdraft of his remaining strength.

But he couldn't stop. The sea beasts were still pouring in through the gap. The generals had been divided and surrounded, fighting on their own. Uncle Liu was being entangled by two fourth-tier sea beasts. His left arm was hanging limply at his side, clearly broken.

The villagers on the shore were also putting up a desperate fight.

Although the men, women, and children wielding harpoons and machetes had little cultivation, their bodies, which were far stronger than ordinary people, were due to their long-term consumption of the flesh and blood of demonic beasts. Even three to five people working together could barely deal with a first-tier sea beast.

Ah Ling was swinging a heavy iron fork, stabbing it hard into the abdomen of a first-tier sea beast, black blood splattering all over her face.

Behind her stood Ayan, holding a sharpened wooden stick. His face was tense, and although his legs were trembling, he did not take a step back.

Li Hanshan sighed inwardly as he read this.

The resilience these islanders displayed in dire circumstances far surpassed that of the ordinary people he had encountered in the Northern Wilderness, those kept by the Hehuan Sect. Generation after generation, they had fought against sea beasts, and every survivor was a true warrior.

"Flowing Light Sword Technique!"

Li Hanshan had lost his flying sword, so he used grass as a sword, infused it with spiritual power, and pierced through many demonic beasts, saving many people.

At that moment, a deafening roar came from behind the beast tide.

The sound pierced through the seawater and air, like muffled thunder exploding in everyone's ears, making their eardrums ache.

The waves on the sea suddenly surged, and a huge, sky-covering black shadow rose from the deep sea. Three ferocious snake heads broke out of the water at the same time, each the size of a small mountain, with six scarlet vertical pupils burning with greedy flames.

The three-headed serpent finally couldn't hold back any longer and took action itself.

Its speed far exceeded that of low-level sea beasts, and its three snake heads, like three giant battering rams, simultaneously crashed into the giant tortoise's body from three directions.

Wherever the snake's head passed, the seawater was cut open into three deep trenches, and the spray rose higher than the coconut trees on the island.

The island tortoise suddenly raised its head and let out a deafening growl.

Its gaping maw suddenly turned to the left, towards the first approaching snake head, and a terrifying suction force erupted, causing seawater within a radius of tens of thousands of feet to rush into its maw, forming a huge whirlpool.

The snake's head on the left was sucked so hard it almost crashed into the giant tortoise's mouth.

But the other two snake heads had already rushed forward, their huge fangs biting down hard on the giant turtle's neck. Black blood gushed out, cascading down the giant turtle's neck like a dark waterfall, staining the entire sea surface black.

The giant tortoise, in pain, let out a low growl.

Its massive body suddenly shuddered, causing the entire Poseidon Island to shake violently. A crack as thick as an arm appeared in the ground beneath Li Hanshan's feet, and several thatched huts collapsed with a crash, as villagers screamed and fell to the ground.

But the giant tortoise's counterattack followed.

Its head snapped back and spat out at a snake's head.

"boom!"

The shockwave exploded, causing the giant snake to tremble. Blood gushed from its head, and a look of pain flashed in its two vertical pupils.

The three-headed serpent let out an angry hiss, its body suddenly retreating backward, dragging a towering wave as it retreated into the deep sea.

The beast tide driven by it seemed to have received a retreat order, and they all changed direction and surged into the deep sea like the receding tide, disappearing into the surging waves in the blink of an eye.

The sea gradually calmed down.

The giant tortoise slowly lowered its head, blood still seeping from the wound on its neck.

It let out a few low chirps, its voice weary and deep, and then its massive, island-like body began to slowly sink. The color of its shell changed from bluish-gray to a deeper black, like a giant rock sinking to the bottom of the water, returning to silence once more.

A few breaths later, the sea returned to calm, with only the remnants of blood still floating among the waves.

A thunderous cheer erupted on Poseidon Island.

"The sea god has driven back the beast tide!"

"Long live the sea god!"

"We survived again!"

The villagers scrambled to their feet, some embracing each other, some kneeling and bowing towards the sea, others brandishing their weapons in the air, their faces filled with the ecstatic joy of surviving a catastrophe. Several children ran to the beach, picked up the remains of the monster washed ashore, and excitedly ran back to the village.

A-Ling stood up from the beach, wiped the black blood from her face with her sleeve, and turned to look at Li Hanshan, her eyes filled with undisguised astonishment. She had just witnessed Li Hanshan's attack; those third-tier sea beasts were like paper in front of him, collapsing at the slightest touch without even a chance to struggle.

This stranger, washed ashore by the waves, was far more formidable than she had imagined.

"Sister!" Ayan ran over and grabbed Aling's sleeve, her little face a mixture of excitement and lingering fear. "I was so scared! Those sea monsters almost stormed into the village! Thank goodness the Sea God was there!"

He turned to look at Li Hanshan, his bright black eyes filled with admiration: "Brother Li, you're amazing too! I just saw you fighting those sea monsters! One slap each!"

Li Hanshan smiled and was about to speak when he saw the approaching generals surrounding him. Uncle Liu was at the front, his left arm hanging limply, the broken bone held in place by a rough wooden strip, yet he seemed unaffected, not even flinching.

He stopped in front of Li Hanshan, looked him up and down a few times, his eyes filled with scrutiny and gratitude.

"You're from out of town, aren't you?" Uncle Liu asked, his voice hoarse and low. "Thanks to your help earlier, otherwise those gaps wouldn't have been sealed, and people in the village might have died."

Li Hanshan clasped his hands in a fist and said, "It was nothing. If it weren't for Uncle Liu and the others holding the line, I wouldn't have been able to stop those sea monsters."

Uncle Liu waved his hand, and a young divine general carried over a large piece of cut-up demon beast meat and placed it in front of Li Hanshan.

The piece of meat was about half a person's height, dark red in color, with fine scales remaining on its surface. The spiritual energy it contained was extremely rich, clearly the meat of a fourth-order sea beast.

"This is the best part of those two fourth-tier sea beasts. It should be enough for you to eat for a while," Uncle Liu said. "You were seriously injured, and you can't recover just by resting. This meat is full of spiritual energy, so eating it should help you heal faster."
