The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 131 ~ Regeneration

Zhang Ziyi swims. Intend to return to the underwater royal palace while looking for Laohu. Armed with the memory of the road previously passed, he had no trouble at all to get there.

Swim by relying on whirlpools that form a drill in both legs. Long time he swam, until he arrived in a mermaid village. Entering the village. So jolted Zhang Ziyi when he found all the inhabitants of the village sprawled with lifeless conditions.

He kept swimming. His sight did not stop looking to his left and right. Looking for a safe mermaid. But he found no one alive. All dead and scattered along the way.

"What's going on?"

Zhang Ziyi approached one of them. Check it out, then move on to find out that the mermaid no longer has a life.

"Wine! It seems like the monster has come attacking!"

Zhang Ziyi is getting faster. This chaos has been going on for the past few days. And he came late to help the mermaid race.

He had promised to fight and defeat the Evil Octopus Monster, after successfully completing this test. So that the safety of the mermaid race had become his responsibility at this time.

After a while, he finally arrived at the Underwater royal palace. It's fucked up in there. Many buildings were destroyed by a fight. Some of the mermaids wearing guard uniforms also appeared to be lifeless. But not everything is lying on the ground, but floating in the water.

Zhang Ziyi swam, about to enter the majestic building that some parts of it had broken. But not yet entered it, he first stopped the action when his hearing captured the sound of the fight.

Switch direction. Zhang Ziyi swam towards the source of the sound. In the distance, he saw an army of mermaids surrounding a large octopus.

Get close to there. Zhang Ziyi increasingly saw clearly the appearance of the great octopus. Where have more than 2 eyes. He said octopus, but apparently too creepy to be called an octopus though.

8 His long arms did not stop moving, attacking the mermaid members. The floating mermaid soul, would automatically be sucked in the body of that Monster. This is because he has a soul sucking device in the arms of his–. Where the souls will be directly absorbed into the black dots on each arm.

(N/A: here, the author uses the word 'arm', not tentacles because octopus does have 8 arms and not tentacles!)

All sorts of attacks had been deployed to defeat this monster. Yet he was so formidable, that the attacks seemed to not work so much on the Evil Octopus monster.

Zhang Ziyi also saw Laohu's whereabouts there. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his pet fire tiger was fine, and was fighting to help the mermaids attack the Evil Octopus Monster.

But unfortunately, the tiger was even knocked by one of the arms of the monster. The strike was quite loud, making it throw quite far away.

Zhang Ziyi shouted out the name of Laohu. The tiger was wounded. It is not a problem for him if he sees the condition of Laohu who was originally in prime condition when the Portrait was received. Yet Zhang Ziyi could see the condition of Laohu's body being filled with wounds, signaling he had been made to bounce for the umpteenth time.

He approached the fire tiger. Checking it. Indeed Laohu had almost reached his limit. Wounds were also seen adorning his body, with one tear wound deep enough.

Zhang Ziyi channeled his energy to Laohu. Heals the wounds on Laohu's body.

"You've fought pretty hard here. Although the power of your fire– cannot be used in this realm, but your courage is worth appreciating!" praise Zhang Ziyi.

Finished with healing Laohu, Zhang Ziyi touched Laohu's forehead with his middle finger. Slowly, an orange-colored light shot out from Zhang Ziyi's fingers and entered into Laohu's forehead.

Laohu himself felt a warm sensation radiating across his body. At first he felt it on his forehead, then it spread over other areas of his body.

Zhang Ziyi is done. He gave Laohu a gift, in the form of essential energy, which supports the increase of the element of fire to a certain stage. It is also possible that Laohu can use the fire element even in water.

"Well, let's go there, and defeat the monster!" zhang Ziyi. Laohu nodded. Then they started swimming. Join the mermaid race, attack the Evil Octopus Monster.

On the other hand, the Mermaid King unleashed a water attack that formed a drill towards the Octopus Evil Monster. Unfortunately, the attack that contained a considerable amount of energy, in fact, could not provide a meaningful wound. The Evil Octopus monster repelled the attack with both of its arms.

There was a small explosion, until the bubbles of water were very much also seen covering the view. Just as the water bubbles were floating on the water, the octopus arms were elongated and were about to capture the body of the king of the Mermaid Race.

Not having time to dodge, the Mermaid Race king reacted too late as the arm wrapped around his body. He's caught. The mermaids who saw their king caught could not help but panic as well as get angry.

"Take off your disgusting arm against Our King!" Commander Lie said harshly. The axe in his hand floated up and directly cut off the arm wrapped around King Yu Tie's body.

The monster put a ridge in its mouth, making it look very, very strange. His energy was filled at all times by the souls of the mermaid race he managed to absorb, whenever the mermaid race was killed. Unlike the case with the king of the mermaid race and his army. They were running out of energy, facing this monster. Counted that they had fought two days without rest.

"I didn't expect you to die so soon, Mermaid King. However, I will give you a light death! Oh yes, I thought your soul would not die, but rather fuse with mine. Of course you'll be stronger after!" His words are not so clear. Either he could still be caught by the king of the Mermaids, or he was even confused when he heard the words of the Monster.

"Nothing what are you talking about! Don't think you can kill my race– members as you please! You'll die after this! Wait until your destiny comes, and your death will be seen after!" The Mermaid King replied to the words of the Octopus Evil Monster. To be honest, he was currently pinning his hopes only on Zhang Ziyi. But he was also not so sure that the human would complete his test there. The possibilities are very small. If it works, it may take a lot of time.

"Haha! I don't think you're speeding up my energy! After absorbing your soul that has reached the realm of the Gods of the Universe for free. But if you're willing to do it willingly, maybe you'll reach the pinnacle with me!" Monster Evil Octopus said with a thunderous laugh. Sound waves were also created when the monster laughed.

"Keep that shit down your throat, you ugly monster! Your mouth smells too bad for that!" A young man's voice sounded from behind. The Mermaid King turned around and turned his head towards the source of the voice.

The young man he had been waiting for his presence, was now right in front of him. At his side, there was a Fire Tiger that was none other than Laohu.

"Finally, you came too!" The King of the Mermaid Race was relieved. The burden now feels light. Moreover, Zhang Ziyi came back by bringing great power with him.

"Haha! A two-legged creature with enormous energy! I like that!" Suddenly there was the sound of the Evil Octopus Monster, which was interspersed with a carefree laugh.

King Yu Tie suddenly turned his attention towards the Evil Octopus Monster. He then said, "Your destiny has come! You're just laughing at your death–!" He turned back to look at Zhang Ziyi. "I hope you can beat him!"

Zhang Ziyi nodded. "You just calm down! This is no big deal! Just an ugly octopus, wouldn't need more strength to make it a roasted octopus!" zhang Ziyi said lightly. He swam forward. Passing King Yu Tie, Yu Ren Lan, Yu Xiao as well as Commander Lie.

Zhang Ziyi took out the Heavenly Dragon sword. Making a change in the fire element on the sword, after which he unceremoniously shot straight towards the Evil Octopus Monster.

His speed of movement is beyond reason. Not the same as before, the difficulty in moving in the water. Now he's so free.

The Evil Octopus monster did not react when the sword, which was covered in Fire element, cut off its 8 arms.

Zhang Ziyi did not stop there. He then returned to launch the action. Stabbing the monster's huge body, creating a burst of ink.

Libasan for the sake of the sword Zhang Ziyi did. Cut off the body of the Evil Octopus Monster to several pieces. Tension after lesion of energy was also seen to be in line with Zhang Ziyi's hand movements as it cut through the body of the Evil Octopus Monster.

The Mermaid Race King and the others were so jolted when they saw Zhang Ziyi's speed which was so beyond reason. Even the Evil Octopus Monster until made can not dwell on it. Not only that, they did not even see Zhang Ziyi's whereabouts at all, only the red-coloured energy slips could they witness.

Shortly after, Zhang Ziyi was seen turning his back on the monster. The Heavenly Dragon Sword in his hand was still blazing ferocious fire energy.

A slash!

A slash!

A slash!

Suddenly the body of the Evil Octopus Monster separated just like that. It was even so neat that the black blood was not separated from its flesh.

"Hooahhh!"

Everyone opened their mouths wide. Didn't expect the monster to lose in just a short period of time.

"No! It's not over!"

One of the mermaids spoke suddenly.

Zhang Ziyi frowned, hearing the person's words. He looked back. Sure enough, the body that had been destroyed, was now slowly starting to recover.

"Damn! It would be very hard to defeat him if he had the regeneration ability!"
