The forehead of the Fish King was embedded with a green, pine-cone-like object. Half of the pine-cone-like object had sunk into the Fish King's skull. The remaining part was flashing with a green light. From afar, it looked like the Fish King had a strange, green vertical eye on its forehead.
When the pine cone flashed, the fish king's body began to twitch. It was as if it was suffering from epilepsy.
The fish king's wounds did not look too bad, but its body was sinking. It was as if it had lost consciousness.
"Is that what came out of the aqua cone?
It must have caused the fish king to lose consciousness. "Han Sen grabbed Taia and swam towards the fish king.
The fish king twitched, unable to move. Han Sen quickly approached the fish king and tried to stab the pine cone with Taia.
Dong!
The tip of the Tai-Ah sword struck the pineal gland, but it made a muffled sound. It was unable to damage the pineal gland.
Han Sen tried a few more times, but he was unable to damage the pine cone. It was incredibly hard.
"If I can't break it, I'll just have to dig you out."
Han Sen held Taia with both hands. The Blood-Pulse Sutra opened its ninth gene lock, and the red power of Taia dyed the blade red.
Han Sen followed the edge of the pine cone with his sword, and when he did, the fish king's skull opened up a small slit.
The fish king's body shook, and it looked as if the pain was not enough to make it react.
But this was exactly what Han Sen wanted. He didn't want the fish king to struggle, and that would have been more troublesome.
Han Sen pulled Taia out a little, and he saw that where the skull of the fish king connected to the pineal gland, there were many white lines connected. They looked like nerves, and it was as if the pineal gland had grown into a part of the fish king.
Han Sen used Taia to slash at the white threads. The threads were very tough, but they were not as tough as the pineal gland. Han Sen used all of his power to break a few of them in one go.
When the thin white line broke, the pineal gland and the Fish King trembled at the same time. The light on the pineal gland seemed to have dimmed.
Han Sen was overjoyed. He knew he had found the right path. He held Taia with both hands and stabbed it down. He cut open the part of the fish king's head that was close to the pineal gland and cut the white thread that connected it.
But the fish king's head was very hard. Han Sen had to use a lot of effort to dig it up.
After digging a small part of the tunnel, he saw a bronze monster that looked like a snake appear in the water in the distance.
"That's fast." Han Sen knew the empress had come down to the lake, and her target had to be the fish king.
Taia sped up, but it was not as fast as the bronze snakes. Han Sen stuck close to the fish king and used it to hide his body. He could see the throne and the empress sitting on it. She was less than a hundred meters away from the fish king.
Han Sen took a peek, and he saw that it was only the empress. He felt relieved.
The weird human man and Yaksha had not come down. If he only had to deal with the empress, Han Sen thought he had a chance.
Han Sen looked at the approaching empress, then looked at the fish king and the pineal. He turned into super king spirit mode, grabbed Taia, and plunged it into the fish king's forehead.
Dazzling white light erupted from Taia, and with terrifying power, it pierced into the Fish King's forehead.
The empress had come from the tail of the fish king. She didn't see Han Sen in front of her. When she got close to the fish king, she commanded all of the snakes to spread out. They opened their mouths and tried to bite the fish king. It looked as if they were going to eat the fish king.
Seeing a large number of strange snakes swarming towards him, Han Sen, who was on the fish head, gritted his teeth and used all of his strength to fight.
Dong!
Finally, the pineal gland was dug out of the fish king's skull. The pineal gland came out in a spray of red and gold blood.
When the pineal gland was gone, the fish king looked as if it had woken up from its slumber. Its body started to glow again, and a golden mist came out of its body. It swept away Han Sen and the bronze snakes that had almost bitten the fish king, and they were all blown away.
The empress was shocked. She had seen the fish king get hit by the aqua core. It should not have been able to fight back, so why did it suddenly wake up?
Han Sen used the Dongxuan Sutra to simulate the fish king's presence. The empress did not expect anyone else to be there, and she did not see Han Sen. She did not know it was Han Sen who had helped the fish king remove the pineal gland.
The Fish King regained consciousness, and when it saw the bronze snakes and the empress, its body glowed with a reddish-gold light. It fired at the empress.
The gold and red energy was like a flood coming toward the empress. It was not as strong as the fish king's dragon form, but it was still very scary.
The Great Empress looked at the Golden-Red Tide coldly, but she did not even blink. Groups of bronze snakes automatically gathered under the bronze throne. Their tails swept out toward the Golden-Red Tide, forming a huge bronze torrent.
Pang!
The snake tail collided with the reddish-gold tide, and the entire lake exploded. The lake water shot up into the sky like a volcanic eruption, and everything in the lake was blown up into the sky.
Han Sen deactivated his super king spirit mode, and he was sent flying a few hundred meters into the air. Then, he fell back down into the lake.
Han Sen did not fall back into the lake. He flipped his body and landed in the forest near the shore. When the water returned to the lake, Han Sen's presence blended perfectly with the plants.
Terrifying explosions kept coming from the lake. The golden-red light kept exploding in the lake, and the lake water kept gushing out, causing a heavy rain to fall within a radius of over a hundred miles.
Han Sen hid in the forest. He let the water hit him, but his eyes were fixed on the mountain.
The human man had only climbed half the way to the top, but Yaksha was already there. He was only two meters away from the fruit that the fish king wanted to eat.
Yaksha's body began to emit black smoke. He flapped his wings like a demon that had just escaped from hell. He reached for the Aqua Core with a ferocious expression.
Just as Yaksha was about to grab it, a green light came out of the fruit and hit him in the forehead.
Yaksha was shocked. He didn't expect the Aqua Core to release Aqua Qi a second time.
Fortunately, Yaksha was prepared. When he saw the green light, he flapped his wings and dodged it.
But the green light swerved and hit Yaksha in the back of his head. Yaksha's eyes rolled back, and he fainted. He fell down from the peak.
