Chapter 725: Insanely Cool

‘It was one thing to copy the moves it had already used, but this one? It hadn’t even unleashed this move yet, and it had already been stolen!’

Big Mouth glanced back at its own water tornado. It knew its version couldn’t compare to the enemy’s.

‘Big Mouth couldn’t figure out how this was happening, but this was just too much! It absolutely couldn’t let this slide!’

BOOM!

A blue water tornado, over a dozen times smaller than the black one unleashed by the Nine-Eyed Headless Beast, shot toward the sky!

It looked like a mayfly trying to shake a great tree.

But Big Mouth absolutely refused to accept it. ‘I must’ve done something wrong. Let’s go again!’

BOOM! Big Mouth’s blue Water Tornado did get a little thicker, but… it was still nothing to look at.

Just then, an ancient power suddenly surged into Big Mouth…

Big Mouth’s body began to quietly transform. But clearly, Big Mouth hadn’t realized it. It was still trying to figure out what it was doing wrong. ‘There’s no way the pirated copy is stronger than the original!’

Watching Big Mouth transform amidst the Primitive Tribe’s barbaric Spell, the Nine-Eyed Headless Beast grew agitated and furious. Its nine pupils glowed with a profound dark light as the massive black Water Tornado surged toward Big Mouth, carrying the momentum to destroy everything in its path.

Big Mouth was furious! ‘That’s totally cheating! I haven’t even perfected the move yet…’

‘Whatever. Bigger doesn’t necessarily mean stronger. Besides, the other guy’s is clearly a knockoff!’

‘That’s not even how you’re supposed to use this move!’

Big Mouth leaped into the air and instantly merged its body with its Water Tornado. The blue vortex grew slightly thicker, and though it was still over a dozen times smaller than the black one, it fearlessly charged to meet its opponent head-on!

Just then, the chieftain of the Primitive Tribe’s expression shifted rapidly. He let out a strange cry, pulled a stone knife from his robes, and swiftly traced an ancient symbol in the air. He instantly sliced open his index finger and, with his finger moving like a blur, painted one Spell after another onto the Beast Hide Drum. The tribe’s chanting quickened in time with his movements.

Amidst the chanting, the chieftain’s face rapidly aged, his jet-black hair turning streaked and white…

Wang Meng’s eyes widened in astonishment. Through his Divine Thought, he perceived countless energies that even he couldn’t comprehend surging toward Big Mouth. It was a power of creation, something akin to a god’s!

RUMBLE…

The two wildly disproportionate water tornados crashed into each other. The sky seemed to explode, and the entire island trembled violently from the cataclysmic impact of the two forces.

The blue tornado struggled for a moment before vanishing, while the black one swelled even more ferociously, as if it would obliterate the entire island.

The faces of the people in the Primitive Tribe turned pale. The chieftain stared blankly at the sky, which was about to destroy everything. ‘We failed?’

‘We really failed.’ He squeezed his eyes shut in anguish.

It was he who had instructed his people to nurture the weak Nine-Eyed Headless Monster. But once it grew powerful, it began demanding human sacrifices to become even stronger, even faster. The flesh and blood of their tribe, when used with their ancient, inherited Barbaric Secret Technique, could allow an Exotic Beast to forcibly break through any realm… provided there was enough flesh, blood, and time.

Big Mouth’s arrival had made him sense a great power, so he had pinned all his hopes on it.

And now, he had chosen wrongly once again. The entire tribe was about to be annihilated because of his mistake.

The other tribespeople were thrown to the ground by the tremors, staring in despair at the black tornado in the sky as it grew larger and larger, radiating an aura of death.

The Nine-Eyed Headless Monster roared madly, “Die, you inferior subspecies!”

Wang Meng frowned slightly…

‘That Big Mouth… even at a time like this, it’s still…’

Suddenly!

A flash of jade light erupted in the sky, piercing through the gigantic black tornado from within.

It was Big Mouth’s signature move, the Jade Wave Water Belt!

A semi-transparent Big Mouth flew majestically within the Jade Wave Water Belt, riding the rain clouds.

Yes, it was striking a cool pose!

Wang Meng smiled. ‘It probably hasn’t even noticed that its body has become semi-transparent and water-like. But this change isn’t its own evolution; it’s the power of that ancient, barbaric Spell from the Primitive Tribe…’

“ROAR!”

Big Mouth let out a wild roar. It was actually a little confused. The opponent’s attack had no effect on it. The Water Tornado that should have been incredibly painful felt like a nonexistent illusion.

But Big Mouth didn’t dwell on it. ‘Knockoffs are always full of glitches!’

‘So what if I lost the second exchange? It doesn’t matter. I’ve actually learned a third move… I just haven’t perfected the pose, and the finish isn’t very stylish…’

‘But now, I’m going to use it anyway. The opening part of the move, I’ve practiced until it’s super smooth and stylish.’

In the sky, the semi-transparent Big Mouth looked like a legendary Dragon God of rain, treading on clouds and mist. A water curtain, like a painted scroll, slowly unfurled behind it.

A clap of thunder echoed from the heavens. Big Mouth leaped into the scroll. An instant later, a transparent Water Dragon burst forth from the scroll. Atop the Water Dragon’s head, Big Mouth stood proudly, pointing directly at the Nine-Eyed Headless Monster.

The Nine-Eyed Headless Monster was both shocked and furious. With a tremendous roar, the massive black tornado in the sky once again swept toward Big Mouth and its Water Dragon.

This time, however, the moment the rolling torrent of the tornado struck Big Mouth, it was like a drop of water hitting a sponge—it vanished instantly.

In an instant, the giant black Water Tornado fractured in the middle. The entire vortex collapsed, its water crashing down like a waterfall…

The Nine-Eyed Headless Monster roared wildly as a Water Element True Essence Shield, so dense it looked solid, materialized before it. It was trying to use its old trick to send Big Mouth flying again!

As if it had learned nothing, Big Mouth ignored the shield and charged straight on!

WHOOSH!

With a soft sound, Big Mouth felt no resistance at all this time, passing straight through the Water Element True Essence Shield…

Water Elemental Burst!

BOOM!

Big Mouth was sent flying, tumbling several times on the ground before landing with its butt in the air. It was a ridiculous sight. Fortunately, Big Mouth had also passed out.

The Nine-Eyed Headless Monster roared, layers of Water Element True Essence forming defenses against the power of the Annihilation Burst… But then, a look of terror appeared in its nine pupils. A crystalline light erupted from within its body. In the blink of an eye, its entire form turned into a pile of ice dust and dissipated into nothingness.

A look of astonishment appeared in Wang Meng’s eyes. The power that had annihilated the Nine-Eyed Headless Monster wasn’t from Big Mouth’s final attack, but the same power that had turned it semi-transparent.

Wang Meng’s Divine Sense stirred. It was a Pure Water Extreme Ice Power, a pure force closest to the Water Origin. Even the Water Emperor of the Five Emperors might not have mastered the Water Element Power to such a level of purity!

It was safe to say that Big Mouth had received an immense benefit this time… The Extreme Water Power was a Divine Power just as promising as the Power of Tribulation that Zhe had obtained.

Suddenly, the Law of Space fluctuated. The surrounding space began to fold in on itself in a bizarre fashion. The entire island, manipulated by some strange spatial law, shrank smaller and smaller until it vanished with a final RUMBLE. Wang Meng and Big Mouth were left floating in a directionless void. A glowing portal for spatial transport hung silently before them…

Big Mouth shook its head and came to. Its semi-transparent body was also slowly returning to normal.

Guh?

Big Mouth wiped away some drool. ‘Huh? Why is it dark?’

“Master? Where are my servants?” Big Mouth asked dopily.

“Ignorance really is bliss.” Wang Meng patted Big Mouth’s body, sensing that the Extreme Water Power had receded into its bloodline.

That strange primitive race had used Big Mouth to free themselves from some kind of bondage. The chieftain must have sensed the faint divinity within Big Mouth. Still, that race was truly incredible to be able to draw out that sliver of divinity.

‘I have to admit,’ Wang Meng thought, ‘in all the myriad worlds, full of endless wonders, just when I think I’ve seen it all, I find something I know nothing about.’

Big Mouth was very fortunate. This blessed opportunity had allowed it to skip the painful process of advancement.

“Master, was my last move super lame? Old Horse said I can never dodge the impact of the Annihilation Burst at the end… I don’t remember if I dodged it just now or not.”

Wang Meng was speechless… After a long moment, he finally said, “Let’s go.”

Big Mouth nodded, then tilted its head and asked, “Master, I won, right? Was it because my final move was really cool?”

“It was explosively cool,” Wang Meng said, nodding helplessly. ‘Looks like I need to have a long talk with Old Horse when we get back,’ he thought. ‘This can’t go on. It’s a corrupting influence!’
