Volume 3: Global Vanguard & The Advanced Pinnacle
The storm winds over the Demon Sea swirled with such fury that they tore apart layer upon layer of pitch-black dark clouds overhead. Hundred-zhang-high waves crashed violently against the submerged cliffs, roaring like a broken formation of wild beasts; the white spray flew into the air, only to be instantly dyed an ominous, foul-smelling ashen gray by the demonic Qi.
At the center of the destructive vortex, the thousand-zhang-long colossus of the Eight-Headed Water Python twisted violently. The seven auxiliary heads that had been severed earlier were now spewing streams of viscous black blood; but bizarrely, instead of falling into the sea, the blood was pulled back by an invisible suction force toward the single remaining main skull situated right in the center.
With every mouthful of the foul blood swallowed, the main skull of the behemoth swelled by another circle. The pitch-black scales on its forehead stood on end like thousands of razor-sharp blades, and ancient demonic runes burned fiercely with a ghostly green Nether flame. Its two gigantic eye sockets glowed with thick, blood-red light, staring fixedly at the tiny human figure hovering in mid-air a few hundred paces away.
