Chapter 230: Chapter 199 Swallowing Divinity (Revised)
Chen Xing looked at the behemoth of the North Sea under Wayne's command.
It was indeed the most powerful Beast Taming he had encountered at the same energy level.
Various bind skills, plus the powerful regenerative abilities granted by its divinity.
And the continuous amplification of damage by Death Confinement.
Add to that an unknown active skill of Deep Sea Suffocation.
Whether it was the combination of skills or the style of combat, it was extremely powerful.
Without any single part of it, it wouldn't be able to suppress Taotie.
However...
If faced with the Sea Water Principle of the great flood, then how would you cope?

Lack of oxygen, low temperatures, suffocation, drowning.
Those submerged in water quickly lose their body heat; muscles stiffen, movements become uncoordinated, and reactions gradually slow down.
Due to the inability to breathe enough oxygen, one experiences rapid breathing, accelerated heartbeat, increased blood pressure.
Gradually symptoms like dizziness, headaches, nausea, muscular weakness, severe coughing, decreased coordination, and gradually blurry consciousness appear—negative states.
One might even experience hallucinations and incoherent speech.
As the lack of oxygen continues, consciousness is lost, the body convulses, and one eventually falls into a comatose state.
Pulse and heartbeat completely stop, and body temperature plummets rapidly.
The brain suffers irreversible damage due to prolonged oxygen deprivation, ultimately leading to death by drowning.
All negative states deepen over time, piling on like layers of sand, eventually building a tomb named Death.
Taotie opened his massive jaw and swallowed a vast amount of sea water.
"Water Devouring!"
A flash of blue light passed over its body, wounds healed rapidly, while the blindness in its eyes was cured.
The negative state of blindness was stripped from it.
Seizing the opportunity, Taotie viciously bit at the tentacle of the behemoth of the North Sea.
This time, the behemoth could not keep Taotie bound; its stiff tentacles were torn free and directly bitten off.
The behemoth of the North Sea thought about striking back when suddenly its head spun.
Its movements paused for a few seconds.
Taotie bit down on its head and dragged it deep into the sea!
Taotie also managed to break free from the range of Death Confinement.
Wayne sensed something was wrong—the state of the behemoth of the North Sea was abnormal.
Could it be some sort of curse ability?
"Use the Freezing Cold Liquid, freeze it," Wayne ordered.
First, freeze the opponent, then drag it back within the range of the Death Confinement skill.
The tentacle tips of the behemoth of the North Sea gathered a cold blue light.
The surrounding seawater was quickly frozen, and icicles spread outward from the seabed in every direction.
But suddenly, the behemoth of the North Sea started coughing violently.
A ragged, intermittent cough came out of its throat.
Its tentacles trembled, the blue light at their tips flickering uncertainly, like candles in the wind about to be extinguished.
But in order to follow its master's command, the behemoth of the North Sea loyally touched its tentacles to Taotie.
But the moment it touched the scales, the behemoth of the North Sea convulsed, as if cramping—it's tentacles going rigid in place.
The blue light at their tips disappeared without a trace.
The rigid state lasted for about a second, and then the limp tentacles fell onto Taotie.
Taotie turned and snapped at it, tearing away a tentacle and ruthlessly swallowing it down.
Taotie glared with a pair of small eyes, filled with ferocity.
Squid-flavored! Delicious!
This taste reminded it of the squid cans made by its master; though not as delicious as squid cans, the flavor was somewhat similar.
Something's not right!
Something was off!
Wayne, who had fallen into the water with the others, widened his eyes in shock.
His body was somewhat ethereal at the moment, as if it existed independently of the real world.
The effects of the Fourth Space skills allowed him to ignore the abnormal state of the seawater.
Although the erosion force of the Sea Water Principle was extremely overbearing, it had a prerequisite: it must come into contact with the target's body to generate negative status effects.
Therefore, Wayne, who was in the Fourth Space, felt that something was wrong, but could not find the cause of the anomaly.
He could only conclude that it was some kind of curse ability.
As time passed, the state of the North Sea Behemoth gradually became abnormal. Its consciousness began to blur and even illusions appeared,
Under the influence of the illusions, it began to flail its tentacles irregularly, attacking empty stretches of seawater.
The cameras in the sky couldn't penetrate through the layers of water curtains to see clearly what was happening in the depths through the turbid waters.
All that could be seen were two behemoths grappling with each other in the sea, locked tightly together.
"North Sea Behemoth! North Sea Behemoth!"
Wayne called out the name of the North Sea Behemoth.
The consciousness of the North Sea Behemoth was sometimes lucid, sometimes muddled.
Wayne hesitated about whether to retrieve his Beast Taming, but if he did so, it would be tantamount to admitting defeat directly.
As he hesitated,
Taotie embraced the behemoth's body, fiercely tearing and biting without even needing to chew; under the Annihilation Force of the Vortex of Demise, whatever it ingested turned directly into a blood mist.
Taotie's mouth was enormous, its head taking up nearly a quarter of its entire body length, with the head itself being sixty to seventy meters long; its vast maw could engulf large chunks of flesh in one bite.
In the ocean, the consciousness of the North Sea Behemoth was gradually dispersing...
The responses to its master became intermittent.
When Taotie once again ripped off three tentacles,
The blood mist shattered in its mouth, mingling with a hint of indelible golden light.
This strand of golden light followed down Taotie's throat and into its belly.
Taotie's body suddenly shook as if reveling in the refreshing sensation of eating a cold watermelon on a hot summer day.
All the blood vessels throughout its body became exceptionally clear.
Taotie's eyes widened; it felt all the blood vessels in its body excited and trembling.
As though it had tasted some sort of ultimate delicacy.
This delight was not for the flesh, but a spiritual stimulation.
Taotie's eyes instantly turned red.
It took another vicious bite of flesh, swallowing it directly into its stomach without needing to chew.
Within the shattered blood mist, a speck of golden light was swallowed down.
Taotie, like one manhandling a large watermelon, frenziedly tore at the North Sea Behemoth.
But when it went to bite the North Sea Behemoth once more, this time it bit into nothing.
Wayne directly summoned it back to the Beast Taming Space.
"I surrender the match!"
Wayne pressed the watch on his wrist with a grim expression.
A red light shone.
A blurred figure appeared beside him, whisking Wayne away in an instant. As he was being taken, Wayne withdrew the North Sea Behemoth back into the Beast Taming Space.
Looking at the North Sea Behemoth in the Beast Taming Space, now missing a segment and one-third of its tentacles gnawed away,
Wayne's face twitched violently.
His Beast Taming had been nibbled on like a cookie.
Wait a minute, something wasn't right...
Wayne suddenly discovered in astonishment that the healing speed of his Beast Taming had noticeably slowed down.
Previously, standing on top of the North Sea Behemoth's head, Wayne's vision was obstructed, so he hadn't noticed the decline in the North Sea Behemoth's healing ability.
Now that the Beast Taming was inside the Beast Taming Space, he had a more direct observation of the overall condition of the Beast Taming.
Inexplicably, Wayne felt as though he had lost something important.
