Mo Fan was pretty anxious right now. He’d had a full team not long ago, but he was the only one left now!

The Sea Skeleton King did not stop chasing them. It had completely lost its mind as it tried to obtain the Four-Eyed Bird’s immortality.

It was glaring after Mo Fan. It so wished it could crush Mo Fan to pieces right now!

“Little cub, do you see that mountain?” Mo Fan pointed.

The little cub had finally found the land after following Mo Fan’s guidance. However, most of the island was already underwater. The tallest trees were swaying in the waves, as the area used to be a forest. The little cub agilely ran along on their leaves.

The Sea Skeleton King was enraged. It suddenly gathered the water around it into a huge arm, uprooting the trees and throwing them at Mo Fan and the little cub.

Fierce waves rose and collapsed onto the forest, tearing the soil and roots away.

The little cub dodged the waves nimbly, and was able to find the gaps between the countless trees that were being thrown at him.

It felt like everything was moving in slow motion in his eyes. He was always able to find the perfect path to dodge the incoming projectiles.

Mo Fan realized the little cub had been hiding his strength all along. The Sea Skeleton King would have struck him down like it did to Zhang Xiaohou, Mu Bai, and Mu Ningxue without the little cub’s help!

“We are almost there!”

The terrain was rising after they passed the woods. A mountain in the shape of a chimney was rising only five kilometers away. It really stood out after the mist dissipated.

The mountain was bathed in sunlight just as Mo Fan arrived. Only the distance was a little misty.

However, the Sea Skeleton King let out a roar and made the sky of Xixiong City darken with a strange ability.

Dark clouds approached Mo Fan. They loomed over him like huge waves, weighing him down with suffocating pressure.

Lightning fell from the clouds and flickered wildly in the sky, like dancing dragons with gleaming scales.

Rain started pouring down after the lightning. The area in front of Mo Fan darkened right before the storm occurred. He felt like he had walked into a huge waterfall instead of a volcano. The light coming down from the sky was covered, while the sound of the collapsing water was deafening. He was struggling to keep his back straight under the heavy rain.

The Sea Skeleton King had turned the clear sky into the heaviest storm. The Supreme Ruler was able to control Xixiong City’s weather completely!

Luckily, the people of Xixiong City had already evacuated, or it would have been a terrifying disaster.

“Can you freeze the rain?” Mo Fan asked. The rain was so heavy that Mo Fan could not see where the volcano was.

The little cub turned around and growled, looking at Mo Fan in a strange way.

“What did you call me?” Mo Fan snapped. However, Mo Fan realized how stupid he sounded on second thought.

If the little cub froze the rain, it would be hailing instead. The hails would be as big as fishballs. He found the rain preferable!

Mo Fan turned around and looked at the Sea Skeleton King.

It immediately gave him a fright. He thought the Sea Skeleton King was using the rain to slow him down, but the rain had allowed it to take off into the sky!

Its body was no longer made of seawater, but the rainwater! Mo Fan could no longer see the sky and earth behind him, only the enormous demon chasing after him.

Mo Fan took a deep breath. The Supreme Ruler of the sea was indeed terrifying!

The lightning flashes highlighted its silhouette. Both the little cub and Mo Fan were like tiny flies before it.

Mo Fan could feel the little cub’s speed decreasing in the rain. The Sea Skeleton King was getting closer. Its giant shadow was looming over Mo Fan and had crushed down on him multiple times.

“It’s going crazy!” Mo Fan was shocked.

The Sea Skeleton King did not act like it was heavily injured. It was just as terrifying as it was when it first appeared.

The little cub also knew he could not afford to mess with the Sea Skeleton King. He was running away with all his might.

Fighting the Sea Skeleton King was a death wish. Mo Fan even had the feeling the Sea Skeleton King had been faking its injuries. They did not stand a chance against it.

“There, right ahead, we are almost there!” Mo Fan blurted out.

Mo Fan was spooked after a few close calls. He could finally see the volcano. It was time to go all out!

Mo Fan kept using the Space Element to open Portals in front of the little cub. They barely escaped the Sea Skeleton King’s rain.

BANG!

A massive hand fell from the sky and smashed Mo Fan’s Portal into pieces.

The little cub let out a furious growl. A scorching light burst out of his body as he tore through the hand and broke free from the Sea Skeleton King’s grasp.

Mo Fan was overjoyed. The little cub was pretty impressive. He thought he was dead for sure!

The little cub ran along the steep wall of the volcano. He was originally from Tianshan Mountain, and was no longer restrained by the rain after he reached a higher altitude. The light coming from the Totem Beast gave him an imperious aura and demeanor.

“It’s coming!” Mo Fan was already injured. It was not ideal for him to fight the Sea Skeleton King right now.

The little cub was angry. He faced the Sea Skeleton King like he was going to fight it.

“Sure, keep it busy for a while. I’m heading inside!” Mo Fan did not hesitate.

He pointed at the mountain and built a slide from the rocks. He stepped on it and dove into the volcano.

Fists of rain were falling rapidly, each leaving a deadly hole in the ground. Mo Fan was using his Will to block some of them while dodging the rest.

The Four-Eyed Bird in Mo Fan’s arms cried excitedly, sensing a pure source of fire ahead!
