Chapter 20

In his previous life, Meixue had never faced such overwhelming terror, and he believed that the vast majority of people in the Seas and Mountains had never even considered what to do when facing a creature from the Nine Abysses.

Unmatched, a natural enemy, a nightmare from the Sea of Nine Abysses—this was the impression the people of the Seas and Mountains had of the Nine Abysses creatures. After the Nine Abysses creatures were jointly defeated by the major forces of the Seas and Mountains in the Dark Moon Sea a thousand years ago, people could no longer imagine the sheer terror of facing them directly.

And at this moment, Meixue was experiencing that terror.

He was not a combat-oriented immortal practitioner; as a pharmacist, his specialty was cultivating and creating spirit medicines, not battling monsters.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to fight, he could not avoid it.

This battle left him with no retreat. In the face of the Nine Abysses creatures, who disregarded life, there was no way to compromise.

Because in the eyes of the Nine Abysses creatures, all intelligent beings in the Seas and Mountains were their food, with no exceptions.

From the sea, this Nine Abysses creature had targeted this floating mountain, then launched an attack, dazing everyone on the mountain. Its purpose was clear: it wanted to eat people, to devour all the intelligent beings on this floating mountain.

No one knew why the Nine Abysses creatures were so obsessed with hunting intelligent beings, even though there were so many other creatures in the Seas and Mountains that could satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, the Nine Abysses creatures were the natural enemies of humans, demons, and all intelligent beings in the Seas and Mountains. They were incomprehensible monsters, nightmares that had descended from the terrifying Sea of Nine Abysses.

Was he afraid? Was he terrified? Meixue confronted his own heart.

How could he not be afraid, how could he not be terrified? This was the Nine Abysses creature, the most terrifying legend in the Seas and Mountains, capable of exterminating all intelligent beings.

Even the weakest of the Nine Abysses creatures possessed destructive power, let alone this one, which was far from being the weakest.

Those deep, cold six eyes, the giant tentacles with a milky white sheen, the countless tentacles that glinted with deadly cold light, and the powerful ability that had dazed the entire floating mountain—all pointed to the worst possible answer: this Nine Abysses creature was incredibly strong, so strong that even a princess of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, like Qingqiu Jiuyue, could not withstand a single attack.

The Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, with its innate talent for soul manipulation, was naturally immune to most mental attacks.

A single strike that could daze such a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox meant that this Nine Abysses creature's power completely overwhelmed Qingqiu Jiuyue, who had only two tails, leaving her unconscious before she could even react.

If Meixue had not possessed the Great Freedom Wisdom Sword, which was almost immune to any mental attack, he would have been unable to escape the mental storm-like attack.

The disparity in combat strength was so great that for Meixue, who had just left Mount TianTai and had not even learned a proper offensive immortal technique, it was impossible to gauge the level of this Nine Abysses creature's power.

It was too strong, so strong that it was overwhelming and incomprehensible.

But even so, in the face of this indescribable terror, Meixue had no choice but to fight, he could not avoid it.

Moreover, he had to win this battle.

Some people, when faced with unbearable pressure, would collapse, go mad, and lose all reason.

Some people, when faced with such a situation, would become excited, burn with passion, and challenge their limits without hesitation.

The last type of person would calmly assess the situation, find the only way out, and make the most appropriate decision.

Meixue's situation did not fit any of these three types.

He knew his limits, and he knew that he was the only one on the entire floating mountain with a glimmer of hope.

Because he possessed the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* and a top-tier immortal technique that allowed him to move without being hindered by terrain. This technique could not help him defeat the terrifying Nine Abysses creature, but it could allow him to escape while the creature was eating people.

But he did not choose the path of the wise, nor did he let his head heat up and think he could defeat the Nine Abysses creature with his own strength.

His choice was not driven by passion, but by his heart.

So, he stepped forward and used the only ability that could change the situation in this dire predicament—the transformation into a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox.

Would transforming into a two-tailed Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox be enough to defeat this Nine Abysses creature?

No, that was impossible. The true Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, Qingqiu Jiuyue, had been instantly killed by this Nine Abysses creature. Even if Meixue, after transformation, possessed the same power as Qingqiu Jiuyue, he would still not be a match for this Nine Abysses creature.

The gap between a two-tailed Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox and this Nine Abysses creature was too great. An underdeveloped Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox did not have the power to turn the tide.

A two-tailed Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox could suppress all opponents of the same level, but this Nine Abysses creature was clearly in a different league from Qingqiu Jiuyue, a level that Meixue could not even comprehend.

But Meixue did not despair. In this deadly crisis, there was still a glimmer of hope.

This was a hope that only he, or rather, only he in the form of a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, could open, the only hope of defeating this Nine Abysses creature.

The six eyes of the Nine Abysses creature, which had already climbed onto the floating mountain, reflected Meixue's figure, the only living being still moving on the entire mountain.

A pale tentacle waved out, carrying a series of milky white ripples that swept toward Meixue. To the Nine Abysses creature, Meixue was probably just a slightly more resilient ant that had luckily avoided the previous sound wave.

For the Nine Abysses creature, this was just a casual strike, but to Meixue, it was like a lightning bolt that tore through his soul, so powerful that he was shattered into countless pieces before he could even dodge.

The Nine Abysses creature retracted its tentacle, and for it, killing Meixue was no different from stepping on an ant by the roadside.

However, the sensation transmitted through the tentacle when it crushed Meixue was strange, as if it had shattered not flesh and blood but mirror-like fragments.

Then, in the next moment, the Nine Abysses creature understood why it had felt this strange sensation.

One, two, three, four... In the mist, one after another, beautiful young demon men appeared, looking at the giant Nine Abysses creature with a carefree demeanor.

Despite the thousandfold difference in size, at this moment, Meixue surrounded the Nine Abysses creature, a 360-degree, no-blind-spot encirclement.

In his transformed state as a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, his cloud mist technique was dozens of times stronger than in his human form. The mist, which could only spread to about ten meters, now enveloped the entire floating mountain, completely surrounding the Nine Abysses creature that had climbed up.

This power of creating illusions, of course, was the second innate ability of the Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water."

It must be said that the top-tier immortal technique of cloud mist and the top-tier ability "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water" were a perfect match. When used together, even the incredibly powerful Nine Abysses creature fell for it.

"Su... Lu..." The Nine Abysses creature clearly became angry, and a 360-degree, no-blind-spot white wave spread out from its massive body.

This was the bizarre ability "Soul-Shaking Wave" that had dazed everyone, including Qingqiu Jiuyue.

However, just like the previous scene, this terrifying ability that even the true Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, Qingqiu Jiuyue, could not resist, had no effect on Meixue.

Because he held a sword in his hand and a sword in his heart. This sword could not harm others, but it could protect Meixue from any mental attack.

The Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox's soul manipulation ability was ineffective, and the Nine Abysses creature's Soul-Shaking Wave was also ineffective. This was because the Bodhi Sword represented Great Freedom and Great Wisdom, a sword of wisdom that could sever even the most complex and intangible emotional ties.

The Nine Abysses creature seemed to be stunned for a moment by the repeated failure of the Soul-Shaking Wave, but as a great terror in the Seas and Mountains, it had more than one ability.

The pale tentacles struck out again, and the giant suction cups crushed the illusions of Meixue created by "Flowers in the Mirror, Moon in the Water."

One, two, three, four... Despite Meixue's attempts to create more illusions, all of them were destroyed in less than a minute by the lightning-fast tentacles of the Nine Abysses creature.

Countless fragments fell, but there was no trace of blood, indicating that they were all illusions, none of them the real Meixue.

In the vast white mist, only the oppressive, massive body of the Nine Abysses creature remained in the center of the platform.

The Nine Abysses creature seemed to sense something. After evaporating all the mist with another wave of its tentacles, it finally discovered a fact.

At some point, that tiny life form had already left the area.

So, where was he?

Faster... faster...

"Roar!" The Nine Abysses creature lifted its enormous head and fixed its gaze on a certain position on the floating mountain.

There, at the peak of the floating mountain, the place closest to the sky.

Just a little more... faster... faster!

The six eyes of the Nine Abysses creature revealed a look of disdain, and then the countless tentacles around it moved on their own.

In the next second, millions of rays of light shot out from the transparent tentacles, locking onto the white figure at the peak of the floating mountain.

It was a beautiful young demon man, a Golden-Haired Jade-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox with a stunning appearance and lively eyes.

Good! Completed!

The countless rays of light struck the young demon man, creating a burst of light. The shockwave from the explosion would have vaporized any human it touched.

But after the smoke cleared, the Nine Abysses creature did not see the young demon man's body shattered into pieces.

A sky-blue light shield appeared around him, hardening to withstand the attack that could have instantly killed the young demon man, and even reflecting a few rays back.

"Boom!" The once silent floating mountain came to life again, deploying a massive defensive shield to protect the important areas. At the tops of the four sky-blue jade pillars, the previously silent rhombic crystals began to spin rapidly, emitting a dazzling jade light.

This was the only hope Meixue had found, a war fortress created by combining countless immortal techniques and rare materials, the ultimate trump card to protect the demon princess Qingqiu Jiuyue—*Sky-Blue*.
