...

Profound Moon Realm.

Dragon Abyss Sea.

In this sea area, powerful Sea Demon Beasts frequently appear.

The Overturning Sea Turtle is one of them; its Realm has already reached the Third Rank Late Stage.

Hundreds of miles around are its territory, and no other Sea Demon Beasts dare to approach; it is one of the overlords of this sea area.

The Overturning Sea Turtle was patrolling its territory as usual; its body was like a small island, and its well-raised back was clearly a small mountain range.

“Eh~”

Its gaze was attracted by a hemp thread in the air; the hemp thread hung down from the sky, with a dark iron hook attached to it, and mottled rust could still be seen on the iron hook.

“Hmph!”

The Overturning Sea Turtle snorted coldly; it already possessed intelligence not inferior to that of an immortal cultivator, and it scoffed at this clumsy human fishing method.

Is that all?

Still fishing?

It didn't know if it was an illusion or what, but a Yao Beast Core suddenly appeared on the iron hook. This was a Fourth Rank water-attribute Yao Beast Core, precisely what it needed most at the moment.

The growth process of Sea Demon Beasts is very slow, even longer than the time human Cultivators spend Cultivating.

However, there is also a way to advance quickly, which is to devour the Yao Beast Cores of higher Rank Yao Beasts.

Now, a Fourth Rank water-attribute Yao Beast Core was right before its eyes; the temptation was simply too great!

It certainly considered that this might be a trap, but what fool would use a Fourth Rank Yao Beast's Yao Beast Core to fish for a Third Rank Yao Beast like it!

It bit the Yao Beast Core, and just as it was about to swallow and absorb the energy within the Yao Beast Core, the Yao Beast Core suddenly disappeared, with no energy for it to absorb.

Little did it know that everything it had just seen was an illusion.

The Dao Traces Fishing Rod simulated the thing it most desired, and so the fish took the bait.

So what if there's no Yao Beast Core? What can it do to it?

The Overturning Sea Turtle intended to bite off the hemp thread and find a Sea Demon Beast to taste, to restore its original good mood.

However, it found that this hemp thread simply could not be bitten off, and the iron hook was also tangled with its mouth and tongue, forming an inseparable whole.

It pulled sharply, its massive body sank into the seabed, and it swam at extreme speed.

In the Void Realm, a strong energy storm was stirred up, space elements were very active, and white light flashed.

A handsome but disheveled figure holding a fishing rod appeared from the white light, unable to control his body as he plummeted towards the sea surface.

“Ah…”

When facing the threat of death, one inevitably loses composure. Lin Yongmao kept screaming while free-falling.

Attribute Two: During the fishing process, it can ensure the Physical Body and Divine Soul are immortal and indestructible.

If it weren't for this attribute of the Dao Traces Fishing Rod, he would have died in the spatial storm just now.

Lin Yongmao was dragged by the Dao Traces Fishing Rod, undergoing an ultra-long-distance teleportation. In the temporarily formed spatial passage, he was almost crushed by the spatial storm.

“Plop!”

Lin Yongmao fell into the water; he struggled to surface, then flew by controlling his artifact, standing five feet above the sea surface.

“Where is this?” Facing the vast, boundless sea, Lin Yongmao asked.

Wasn't he fishing? How did he get fished?

Recalling the spatial storm he had just experienced, it was as if he had walked through the gates of hell; it was the first time he had so clearly perceived the terror of space elements.

However, the crisis was not over; the Overturning Sea Turtle had already noticed Lin Yongmao's presence.

The Dao Traces Fishing Rod had disappeared; neither the fishing rod nor the hemp thread was anywhere to be seen, as if they had never appeared.

The Overturning Sea Turtle locked onto Lin Yongmao with its Divine Sense. How could this human suddenly appear here? It realized that the recent unusual events must be related to this human.

The Overturning Sea Turtle's body swayed slightly, and a tsunami formed, sweeping towards Lin Yongmao.

Lin Yongmao quickly flew to a higher position by controlling his artifact, confronting the Overturning Sea Turtle from afar.

“Third Rank Late Stage, water and earth dual-attribute Yao Beast.” Lin Yongmao immediately judged.

Although Lin Yongmao's Cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Late Stage, it was far inferior to a Third Rank Late Stage great Yao Beast; this was a difference of an entire major Realm.

Moreover, this type of Yao Beast could certainly exert stronger combat power in the ocean.

One word — run!

As this thought occupied Lin Yongmao's mind, he had already flown at extreme speed in one direction.

As long as he escaped the aura lock of this Third Rank great Yao Beast, he could return to the Cloud Mist Mountain Lin Family via the [Portable Teleportation] method.

The System would not lose its teleportation function due to the long distance.

However, in this situation, he dared not teleport easily, as he would be interrupted by the Yao Beast, potentially endangering his life.

Lin Yongmao's artifact flight quickly allowed the Overturning Sea Turtle to catch up; with such a huge Realm gap between them, being caught up was a matter of a few breaths.

【Blood Escape Technique】

Lin Yongmao bit the tip of his tongue, and a drop of essence blood transformed into pure energy, pouring into his entire body. A layer of blood light enveloped his body, and his speed instantly increased several times.

He let out a sigh of relief, glad that he had Cultivated this escape secret technique, which saved his life at a critical moment.

This was a secret technique he obtained from an ancient Cultivator's tomb; seeing its usefulness, he learned it, and indeed, having many skills is never a burden.

It was also thanks to the Mystic Spirit Body Tempering Art, which could continuously strengthen his Qi and blood and refine essence blood, otherwise, this Blood Escape Technique would become unusable after one or two uses due to insufficient Qi and blood.

Lin Yongmao had already used the Blood Escape Technique seven or eight times consecutively.

Although he had left the Overturning Sea Turtle far behind, he still hadn't escaped its Divine Sense lock.

If it were only a Third Rank Middle Stage Yao Beast, Lin Yongmao would have felt that the opponent couldn't catch up, but this was a Third Rank Late Stage Yao Beast, and its movement speed in the seawater was extremely fast.

“Damn it, damn it…”

Lin Yongmao had already consumed several pieces of Millennium Qi and Blood Vine consecutively, and the Blood Escape Technique had also been used more than ten times in a row, but he still couldn't completely escape the Overturning Sea Turtle's Divine Sense lock range.

This won't do; he will eventually be worn down by the opponent.

Lin Yongmao had self-awareness; the opponent was a Third Rank Late Stage Yao Beast, with a Yao Beast Core providing a continuous supply of energy, while he, though possessing Spirit Medicine, could not bear such a heavy burden on his body.

He had originally thought that by staying hidden in Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff, there would be no risks, but he unexpectedly was forcibly teleported here by a spatial storm.

It truly is like choking on cold water!
