The dragonwhale, worth 2000 contribution points, unexpectedly appeared in front of Li Fan and seized the reward for his mission.
How could Li Fan endure this? A Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to deal with the dragonwhale, but Li Fan might not be unable to kill it!
Li Fan narrowed his eyes, and the formless killing intent firmly locked onto the dragonwhale.
The whispers in his ears and the hallucinatory scenes reappeared.
However, this time, the side effects were considerably lesser compared to when he locked onto the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance Guardian previously.
Li Fan quickly recovered, watching the dragonwhale's disappearing figure ahead, and hurriedly followed.
The monstrous dragonwhale was completely unaware that it had been targeted by killing intent.
At this moment, it was hunting in the deep sea.
The pulsation from the bulge on top of its head told it that it was getting close.
As long as it continued hunting like this, before long, a radical transformation would occur within its body.
It could then finally shed this ugly form and assume the sacred appearance in its mind.
The dragonwhale roamed the deep sea, leisurely strolling as if it were in its own garden.
Not long after, it found prey in front of it again, one of its kind.
Another dragonwhale.
This one was a female.
Attracted by the powerful masculine aura, the female dragonwhale swam over, trying to please.
However, the monstrous dragonwhale, looking at this supposedly "beautiful" existence among its kin, felt a sense of nausea and disgust.
This was its own kind?
Truly absurd.
A dangerous light flickered in the monstrous dragonwhale's eyes.
As the female dragonwhale approached, it opened its massive mouth and ruthlessly swallowed her whole.
What a pitiful creature!
Quietly digesting the flesh and blood in its stomach, the monstrous dragonwhale couldn't help but recall its past.
Once upon a time, it wandered aimlessly in the depths of the sea like this poor creature.
Living on instincts: eating, mating, surviving.
But one day, everything suddenly changed.
As if awakening from a long nightmare, it began to awaken its consciousness.
It had a purpose.
It wanted to become powerful, as strong as those creatures that flew above the sea surface all day.
In its mind, it found a plethora of knowledge seemingly out of thin air.
It knew which things it could consume to grow the fastest.
Its instincts also became more accurate.
In certain places on the sea floor, whenever it approached, it felt an incredible danger.
So, it always avoided these areas to eat.
Its growth speed increased rapidly, and it became more intelligent.
Gradually it could even sense things that would be helpful for it on the sea surface from the bottom of the sea.
So, for the first time in its life, it rushed out of the sea and feasted on islands.
And just as danger approached, it quickly left.
Since then, a bulge appeared on its forehead.
And in its mind, the image of an immensely powerful mythical beast appeared.
An instinctual sensing told it that this was the power hidden deep within its bloodline.
As long as it continued to devour, it too could become as powerful as its ancestors!
Yes! Relentless devouring! No one could stop it!
A dangerous aura snapped the monstrous dragonwhale back from its memories.
It suddenly realized that a massive sea serpent was blocking its path.
In its memories, this sea serpent had lived for a long time.
It had been the overlord of this sea area since the monstrous dragonwhale was born.
Once upon a time, for safety, it used to avoid the sea serpent.
However, times have changed now...
A hint of greed flashed in the monstrous dragonwhale's eyes as it lunged towards the sea serpent.
