The chaotic currents caused the ship beneath Yun Ming to sway violently amidst the waves, as if it might capsize at any moment.
Hai Lan was struck with panic and hurried to organize the crew to operate the ship and stabilize it. Ya Li, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong were also startled by the sudden gale and waves, and they quickly sought out Yun Ming.
Oscar sensed the fierce, murderous auras of countless powerful Sea Soul Beasts beneath the surface, some of which were within arm's reach. His scalp tingled, and with a look of anxiety, he shouted urgently.
"Holy crap! Is there a Sea Soul Beast riot?!"
"Boss, Boss, please think of something!!"
It wasn't that Oscar lacked composure, but there were simply too many powerful Soul Beasts! In his perception, Sea Soul Beasts with ten-thousand-year-level auras were not just as numerous as crucian carp in a river; there were at least over a hundred of them. Having so many ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts swimming beneath his feet really left him feeling insecure!
Ning Rongrong was held in Ya Li's arms, her face pale; she was clearly terrified by the scene of the Sea Soul Beast riot.
Seeing Ya Li's eyes signaling him to resolve the situation quickly, Yun Ming reassured them.
"Don't worry! It's fine, everything will return to calm soon."
"Oscar, give me a few Mushroom Sausages."
Hearing Yun Ming's request, Oscar immediately chanted the incantation to create them and handed them to Yun Ming.
Yun Ming took and consumed them, sprouting wings of Soul Power from his back. Finally, he said to Ya Li.
"Lily, keep everyone calm. I'll be back soon."
After speaking, Yun Ming flapped his wings and flew toward the behemoth in the distance.
Seeing that Oscar still looked worried, Ya Li pushed Ning Rongrong toward him and said calmly.
"Trust him, he will handle it."
After saying this, she went to talk to Hai Lan to stabilize the morale on the ship.
Although he didn't know what Yun Ming intended to do, seeing Ya Li so composed made Oscar feel much more relaxed. He looked in the direction Yun Ming had departed and whispered.
"Boss! You must succeed!"
Then, Oscar took Ning Rongrong and went to find Ya Li.
On Yun Ming's side:
As Yun Ming approached rapidly, the Island Giant Beast's perception of the special fluctuation on Yun Ming became clearer. Moreover, the more closely it sensed it, the more it felt that the fluctuation was very similar to its own. This made it urgently want to understand the reason, causing the Soul Power fluctuations on its body to become increasingly restless.
However, compared to ordinary powerful Soul Beasts that could cause Heaven Falls and Earth Cracks or turn rivers upside down with a mere display of power, the Island Giant Beast's manifestation of power was somewhat different.
Above this sea area, the color of the sky grew darker and darker. Sunlight was slowly swallowed, and the entire afternoon seemed to enter a world of chaos. However, the sea surface, which had been surging due to the giant beast's emergence and the Sea Soul Beast riot, along with the raging winds, now seemed to be forcibly suppressed by an invisible force, returning to calm.
Yun Ming, who was speeding toward the giant beast, now felt as if he were carrying heavy shackles, making his movements difficult and his flight speed greatly reduced. Feeling this familiar ability, Yun Ming whispered.
"So this is what it feels like to be suppressed by this ability? It really isn't a very pleasant experience!"
While lamenting something he hadn't experienced before, Yun Ming didn't stop his hands. The Atlas Divine Spear appeared, and a scorching white flame bloomed on the spear, enveloping Yun Ming. He transformed into a white flame meteor, recovered his original speed, and charged toward the giant beast again.
The appearance of the Atlas Divine Spear made the Island Giant Beast's perception of that fluctuation even clearer, but before it could react, it was attracted by the means Yun Ming used to break through its ability.
A power that restrains the Space Element? There is such a thing in this world!!! The giant beast was a bit dazed. Yun Ming's Anti-air Power operated on a different principle than its own ability; in its tens of thousands of years of life as a Soul Beast, it had never seen such a thing!
Yun Ming didn't know what his old friend was thinking, but looking at its reaction, he now encountered a thorny problem he had envisioned earlier.
His old friend really didn't seem to recognize him now; otherwise, it wouldn't have remained unresponsive even after the Atlas Divine Spear was ignited.
Yun Ming had considered this problem before coming here. He had returned to two thousand years ago, but his three Soul Spirits had merged with his Martial Soul and had not merged with his self from this era. Although two of the Soul Spirits were still alive in this era, they didn't recognize him!
This put Yun Ming in a difficult position. They were all old brothers; he couldn't just forcibly kill it once to revive the Soul Spirit entity from two thousand years in the future within the Atlas Divine Spear! If they didn't know each other, that would be one thing, but since they did, killing it by force wasn't appropriate. This was also the reason why Yun Ming didn't bring anyone else this time.
But if he didn't do that, what should he do? Should he use his Divine Origin Realm Spiritual Origin to copy a fragment of the memories of them fighting together and give it to the beast?
Not to mention whether it would believe him after receiving these memories, even if it believed that it had fought side-by-side with Yun Ming in the past/future, the version of it in this era might not be willing to become a Soul Spirit again.
In his past life, the reason it signed a Soul Spirit contract with Yun Ming was that it had been hunted by Shrek Academy and turned into a Soul Spirit. It had resisted for thousands of years and was never willing to be absorbed. Because it kept fighting its contractor, its origin was damaged, and it was on the verge of collapse. To save its life, it chose to contract with the exceptionally talented Yun Ming, intending to recover its soul origin.
Essentially, their union was achieved because his old brother was afraid of death. And since Yun Ming couldn't bring himself to attack it now, wasn't this a closed loop? It was not easy to handle.
Just as Yun Ming was flying and thinking of a solution, the behemoth from the seabed surfaced, appearing before the world for the first time.
It was a dragon-turtle Soul Beast with a massive body over two hundred meters long, looking majestic and domineering. It had a heavy turtle shell that was primarily dark black with gold, silver, and blue edges, undulating like a mountain range. It had dragon claws with hooks, a long dragon tail unlike the short tails of ordinary turtles, a majestic dragon head like a True Dragon, shimmering golden vertical pupils, and a horn on its head filled with Dragon Force. All these features indicated the purity and power of its bloodline.
This was the second Soul Spirit of Yun Ming's past life, a four-attribute super dragon-type Soul Beast with the bloodlines of the Mountain Dragon King and the top-tier space-type Sea Soul Beast, the Deep Sea Silver Armor Turtle. Its main attribute was space, and its secondary attributes were stability, water, and earth—the hundred-thousand-year-level Mountain Sea Dragon Turtle King.
"Woo--"
The Mountain Sea Dragon Turtle King let out a high-pitched dragon roar, pulling back Yun Ming's thoughts.
Yun Ming looked at the familiar yet strange majestic Soul Beast below, a flash of light in his eyes. Letting his old friend go was definitely not an option. If he let this old friend from this era go, he didn't know where else he could find a Soul Beast of the same race; this might be the only Mountain Sea Dragon Turtle in the world.
Therefore, he only had this last method to try. Having made his decision, Yun Ming acted immediately. Looking at his old friend below, the Atlas Divine Spear in his hand shone with brilliant golden light. Behind him, a Heaven Supporting Earth Upright golden armored dharma image appeared, holding a golden spear with a blurred face. A powerful aura that transcended the limits of the Human World emerged, reigning over the sea.--
