I Don’t Want to Get Hurt, So I’ll Max Out My Defense

Chapter 1064: Chapter 1065: Half-Saint Godzilla

Li Xiaobai appeared indifferent, his thoughts moving instantly as he spent a billion in the market, exchanging for a Half-Saint Godzilla.

“Roar!”

A furious roar echoed through the sea area, shattering the skies. A massive figure descended from the heavens, plunging into the ocean and setting off a wave of shocking torrents.

From the depths of the ocean, a Primordial Behemoth approached, its body flickering with enchanting blue lightning. Its scales were as thick as city walls, standing indestructible like a small mountain. The iconic triangular eyes gleamed menacingly, and its stout forearms crossed before its chest. It dragged a tail ablaze with strands of golden-red flames, which evaporated vast swathes of seawater, sending steam billowing.

[Half-Saint Godzilla: Defensive power reaches the peak of the Half-Saint level. (Price: one billion supreme Immortal Stones).]

All Godzillas in the marketplace were unlocked. The half-holy level required one billion supreme Immortal Stones for exchange, and as for the saint level, it demanded ten billion. It was obviously unnecessary to spend ten billion to summon a Saint Realm Godzilla to deal with the elderly man before him. It was well known that the overall combat power of Demonic Beasts was stronger than that of cultivators of the same level. Moreover, this was a System-produced Godzilla, known mainly for its defense, but its offensive capabilities were also not to be underestimated.

Looking at the surrounding mysterious blue electric light, it seemed it had been endowed with new abilities; unlike the ordinary Godzilla, it had an additional talent for thunder. With fire from its tail and electricity from its body, and being in the sea, it was quite thrilling.

“This… what kind of Demonic Beast is this!”

“Did you summon it?”

Aboard the ship, Chen Heyan was dumbfounded as he watched this massive figure step towards him, each step stirring up enormous waves. He could be certain he had never encountered such a terrifying Demonic Beast in his life.

It was just too big; its body stood in the ocean without being submerged and still displayed its immense form that blocked out the sun and sky. How tall was this Demonic Beast?

If it were on land, could it stomp a sect into rubble with a single footstep?

Truly a massive weapon!

“Elder Chen, now it’s my turn to test your strength,” Li Xiaobai said calmly, standing at the bow with his hands behind his back. “This Demonic Beast is named Godzilla, also at the Half-Saint cultivation level. Guess, how many rounds can you last against it?”

“This is impossible. Even with a fortuitous encounter, it couldn’t be this outrageous. How can you control such a powerful Demonic Beast? Its aura and pressure are already that of a top-tier king among Demonic Beasts; how could it be commanded by a junior at the Heavenly Immortal Realm?”

“Could it be some ancient inheritance, and this Demonic Beast is the object of that inheritance?”

Chen Heyan’s thoughts were in disarray. Although he was a Half-Saint, he was not the top among them, not even considered excellent. If there were a ranking list for Half-Saint Strong Experts, his strength would only be considered below average.

Facing this terrifying beast, he felt utterly weak.

“Third Young Master, we are all cultivators of the Icy Frost Sect. Is this really necessary?”

“Are you trying to put me in a deadly situation with these actions?”

Chen Heyan turned to Li Xiaobai, frowning deeply as he spoke with a grave voice. Honestly, he had only been ordered to fetch someone and had no intention of harming this third young master, but he never expected the other party to harbor a Half-Saint Realm Demonic Beast and even be ready to fight him to the death. He felt it was a bit too much.

“Elder Chen, you’re a bit slow to react. From the moment you stepped onto my ship, your fate was sealed. Today, you are destined to die, and no other reason is needed. The events occurring on this ship, I prefer not to let others know. I have my own plans for heading to Ice Dragon Island.”

“Had you heeded my advice to turn back earlier, you wouldn’t be at risk of being drowned in the sea today. It’s a pity you now know too much, and I cannot afford to let you live.”

Li Xiaobai spoke in an even tone, as if merely stating a fact, then casually waved towards Godzilla: “Finish him!”

“Wait!”

“Which clan’s elder are you,” asked Elder Chen Heyan of the Icy Frost Sect from the Southern Continent. “I apologize if I have offended you today, and I hope you can show mercy.”

While he was speaking, Godzilla had already calmly walked to the side of the boat, covering the area in a massive shadow for tens of miles, bearing the terrifyingly fierce aura emanating from the beast.

Elder Chen’s face turned pale as his heart pounded. He clasped his hands together in greeting, hoping to build some rapport. Demonic Beasts all had their own intelligence and could communicate perfectly with humans, depending solely on their willingness.

“Roar!”

The reply was a single word, a roar that seemed to want to tear the heavens and the earth apart as Godzilla roared upwards, shooting out a blazing red light from its eyes.

Threads of electric light gathered around its body, ready to shoot out like arrows at any moment.

“Damn it, Third Young Master, you’ve gone too far. The Sect Leader and the other elders are concerned about your safety. It’s out of kindness that they asked me to bring you back. How could you treat me this way? If the Sect Leader finds out about this, he certainly won’t forgive you!”

“The joke ends here; I am letting you pass,” he continued.

The moment Elder Chen was targeted by Godzilla, his hair stood on end, and his form blurred into a series of afterimages as he swept past Godzilla and dashed into the distant sea.

“As long as you die, the Sect Leader naturally won’t know the full story.”

“Brother Zilla, kill him!”

Li Xiaobai lit a cigarette, engulfing himself in clouds of smoke and said lightly.

“Roar!”

Godzilla turned around, and dozens of thunderous arrows shot out from the void, forming a brilliant Formation as they descended, sealing all of Elder Chen’s escape routes.

Then, with a burst of force from its legs, it charged furiously with towering waves toward Elder Chen.

The force of the wind arrived before the beast, grazing Chen’s cheeks painfully. Just the force itself was so powerful—it was hard to imagine the devastation from the impact. Could it shatter mountains?

“Do you really intend to proceed in this manner, Third Young Master?”

“I just don’t want a senseless destruction of both, not that I am afraid of you!”

“If you really force me to use my true capabilities, nobody will have it easy!”

Elder Chen dodged the strike, a look of shock and anger crossing his face. In this brief encounter, he discerned several of the demonic beast’s capabilities: a defensive power as strong as metal armor, immense strength yet lacking speed, and the ability to release lightning.

Despite its ferocity, its massive size and lack of agility were weaknesses. Exploiting that, he could hold his ground for a short time.

“Elder Chen, don’t struggle meaninglessly anymore. This demonic beast is not something you can handle!”

Li Xiaobai said cheerfully, confident that once the fight began, this old man would have no chance of survival. He had plenty of money now; if one Godzilla wasn’t enough, why not get another? It’s no big deal.

“If that’s the case, Third Young Master, I apologize, but I will capture you first. Once the master is caught, this beast will naturally be cautious. You not only harm your fellow disciples but also sought to kill an elder and silence him. Although you are talented, your nature is far too cruel. Upon returning to the sect, you’ll definitely have to repent deeply!”

Elder Chen threw a punch at Godzilla, who stood unflinching. Utilizing the rebound force from the beast’s body, he quickly distanced himself and ran towards where Li Xiaobai was. He had already decided to make the Third Young Master suffer a bit, perhaps starting by breaking one of his arms and then seeing how he behaved when they returned to the sect.

But he immediately felt something was off. The young man on the boat was not the least bit flustered, still leisurely watching him. At the same time, he sensed a sudden rise in temperature behind him, a burning sensation reaching his heart. He turned around to see a sea of golden-red fire completely replacing the ocean, raising waves that threatened to engulf him.

“Damn, this motherfucker is Red Lotus Karmic Fire!”
