Shi Hui needs to continuously suppress the blood curse's erosion while avoiding Xiangliu's attempt to perish together with her.
Due to losing eight and a half heads, the Sea Demon King becomes unprecedentedly weak—it cannot chase or hit the distant Witch, the remaining eyeball cannot enhance the blood curse's power, nor can it meet the conditions for spell backlash.
This sense of powerlessness is driving the Sea Demon King crazy, yet it becomes even more calm.
"How did you do it?"
The Sea Demon King's voice remains hoarse, but it lacks the initial madness, becoming calm and sinister: "Being able to stop at the right moment in the final instance... even top legends cannot do it."
While asking, it hasn't given up pursuing the distant Five-Colored Lotus, a gigantic fireball streaks through the dark universe, ripples stirring on both sides of the void.
Laughter from the Witch comes from within the lotus.
The Sea Demon King seems to see her gleeful appearance.
