The black water serpent roared, its demonic light suddenly brightening, and the profound ice spiritual power within its claws silently dissipated.

Following that, the black water serpent also opened its mouth.

A pitch-black magical water, engulfed in massive waves, shot towards the ice dragon.

The dragon’s killing intent grew even more intense.

The ice dragon used the [Overturning Rivers and Seas] skill, whipping up waves to push back.

In an instant.

The ice dragon and the black water serpent engaged in a fierce battle at the bottom of the pool.

The pool water surged wildly, raising waves upon waves.

Soon, the battle seemed to reach a fever pitch.

The black water serpent was thoroughly enraged.

From time to time, it condenses the toxic black water into a line, trying to spray onto the ice dragon.

Shen Xuan, though possessing the [Immune to Poison] Talent with high poison resistance,

still preferred not to be touched by this toxic black water and evaded nimbly.

The black water serpent’s combat power was naturally enhanced within the black water pool. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Shen Xuan fought for a while.

He pondered to himself.

It seems necessary to join forces with the fiery bird.

Even though he was confident in being able to keep fighting with the black water serpent,

he might not be able to completely kill it at the bottom of this black water pool.

If it was injured but managed to escape, it would be problematic instead.

Moreover, at a critical moment of life and death, the black water serpent might still have a trump card.

Such serpents have inherently strong life force.

After thinking for a while, Shen Xuan decided to act according to the plan.

After receiving a heavy blow from the black water serpent, he feigned weakness and turned to flee.

The black water serpent, excited by the fight, was unwilling to let go.

"Boom!"

The pool water exploded, raising monstrous waves.

The gigantic body of the ice dragon soared into the sky, escaping towards the east.

Behind it, the black water serpent charged in pursuit, carrying endless black water.

In the dense forest thirty miles away.

The fiery bird, already poised to strike, let out a loud cry, spreading its wings in anger. Torrential flames like meteors from the nine heavens transformed into a pillar of crimson-gold fire, enveloping the black water serpent.

"Moo!"

The black water serpent, ambushed, let out a shrill cry, its scales emitting waves of demonic qi, resisting the crimson-gold demonic flames.

Being a Tier Three Top Grade, even as a demon beast, it possessed intelligence.

At this moment, it realized it had fallen for the ice dragon’s trap to lure the enemy.

It turned and tried to retreat back to the black water pool.

What greeted it was a Purple Gold True Water Seal the size of a millstone, coming down head-on.

Nine ice dragons perched on the treasure seal simultaneously spewed thousands of flying swords of ice, converging into a relentless tide of ice swords, blocking its path.

At this moment, the ice dragon shook and reverted to human form.

Shen Xuan’s figure flickered, appearing above the pool’s surface, hands forming seals.

Over ten ice spirit crystals shot into the black water pool, unleashing an explosive surge of extreme cold ice spiritual power.

In an instant, the entire black water pool froze into a mirror-like surface, with ice mountains dozens of feet high.

Such sturdy ice, even a late-stage Golden Core True Master could not break through in a short time.

The crimson-gold demonic flames of the fiery bird would require several hours of burning to break through.

With this move, Shen Xuan completely sealed the black water serpent’s escape route.

"Lord Divine Bird, I’ve severed its retreat. Quick victory, leave no mercy!"

Shen Xuan shouted aloud.

The furious black water serpent charged forward.

Arcs of thunder emerged from Shen Xuan’s body, and he used Thunder Escape to move behind the fiery bird.

"Alright! Watch me!"

The next moment.

Shen Xuan saw the fiery bird unleash its ultimate move, each feather standing on end, brilliantly colorful.

Behind it appeared the silhouette of the Divine Bird Phoenix once again.

All its spiritual power condensed into a cluster of crimson-gold flames, flying towards the black water serpent.

A few breaths later.

The flames surged, turning into a sea of fire, enveloping the black water serpent.

A terrifying Dao Rhyme of burning all things and never extinguishing pervaded the air, rapidly intensifying.

Everything it touched burst into flames.

Demonic water, toxic water, neither was spared.

"Moo!"

The black water serpent let out a painful howl.

Amidst the sky full of flames, it continuously spewed black water, trying to counter the crimson-gold demonic flames.

Each spout of black water could weaken the power and intensity of the crimson-gold demonic flames.

However, the fiery bird kept fanning the flames, infusing spiritual essence.

Two hours later.

As time passed, the magic power within the black water serpent’s body dwindled more and more.

"Profound Ice, stop watching, strike now!"

The fiery bird panted heavily, angrily shouted.

It was exhausted.

The spiritual power within its body was almost completely depleted.
