Tian Sha's speed allows him to evade the Water Evil Demon Ape's initial attacks. However, the ape traps Tian Sha within a contracting golden circle, rendering his powerful "Sky Breaking Sword" technique useless. As the ape unleashes a devastating stomp, the golden circle collapses, leaving Tian Sha's fate uncertain while Lin Dong watches from below.

"Haha, I informed you that you are nothing but an insignificant ant. Annihilating you is as simple as squashing an ant. Behold, you have indeed perished at my feet!"

The Water Evil Demon Ape unleashed an incredibly arrogant laugh after the lingering dust from its colossal foot settled. Its voice boomed like thunder across the open expanse of the forest, dripping with disdain and utter triumph.

Its immense form leaned forward slightly, as if savoring its handiwork, its crimson eyes burning with cruelty and profound contempt.

Within its gaze, Tian Sha appeared to have transformed into a lifeless mass of flesh, utterly at its mercy.

Yet, at this pivotal moment, Lin Dong, concealed deep beneath the earth, knitted his brows tightly, his vision flickering with bewilderment and astonishment.

For he distinctly perceived that Tian Sha’s breath had not extinguished; instead, it had become exceptionally faint just before the gigantic ape’s foot descended, then bizarrely vanished entirely.

Lin Dong marveled silently, aware that Tian Sha was no ordinary individual, but he had not anticipated him possessing such concealed power to evade this catastrophe in such a dire predicament.

Just as Lin Dong’s thoughts raced, a clear and resolute voice suddenly pierced the air within the forest, shattering the Water Evil Demon Ape’s gloating and arrogance.

"Water Evil Demon Ape, you vastly underestimate me. Do you truly believe I am merely an ant? That you can simply crush me?" Tian Sha’s voice resonated through the void, imbued with defiance and a potent challenge.

This declaration instantly darkened the countenance of the Water Evil Demon Ape.

It swiftly jerked its head upward, scanning its surroundings in a desperate attempt to locate any sign of Tian Sha. However, at this juncture, Tian Sha seemed to have completely merged with the void, leaving no discernible trace.

Lin Dong, listening intently from his subterranean position, remained secretly perplexed. To this moment, he still had no clue what technique Tian Sha had employed to survive the preceding ordeal.

He also understood that this conflict was far from concluded, and Tian Sha was unequivocally not an ant to be slaughtered at whim.

"Not dead after all? How did you elude my foot?" The Water Evil Demon Ape’s voice quivered with disbelief and surprise, its crimson eyes meticulously sweeping the vicinity, searching for any hint of Tian Sha.

Nevertheless, all it received in return was an unnerving silence, as if Tian Sha had utterly dematerialized from existence.

At that precise instant, a calm and indifferent voice suddenly echoed within the void: "Why should I be obligated to inform you? Henceforth, the roles of aggressor and defender shall be reversed."

Before the utterance even concluded, a figure seemed to materialize from thin air, emerging from the very fabric of the void. It was Tian Sha.

Wielding that Fourth-Order Spirit Whip, which radiated a chilling glint, his movement was as swift as a phantom's. He charged towards the Water Evil Demon Ape’s vulnerable rear with a ferocious lunge.

This assault, possessing astonishing speed and immense force, even instilled a sense of imminent danger within the Water Evil Demon Ape.

Lin Dong, concealed underground, was at this very moment observing with wide, unblinking eyes, intently fixated on the unfolding battle above.

He clearly discerned the technique Tian Sha was now executing and could not suppress an exclamation of shock: "That’s Spatial Translocation! He actually knows Spatial Translocation!"

Lin Dong possessed a profound understanding of the rarity and potency of the Spatial Translocation Technique, a secret art capable of instantaneously altering one's position—a skill even he could only aspire to.

And now, Tian Sha was wielding this formidable method with such remarkable adeptness in combat, a truly astonishing display.

Just then, Tian Sha’s form flickered and vanished within the void, seemingly bypassing the constraints of space itself, reappearing directly behind the Water Evil Demon Ape.

The Fourth-Order Spirit Whip, resembling a venomous serpent, carried a deadly chill as it lunged towards a critical point on the Water Evil Demon Ape.

Lin Dong marveled inwardly, finally comprehending how Tian Sha had managed to survive the earlier onslaught.

It transpired that as the golden luminous circle constricted to a specific radius and the Water Evil Demon Ape’s foot was poised to descend, Tian Sha utilized the Spatial Translocation technique to instantly displace himself beyond the golden circle’s confines, thereby evading the fatal strike.

And now, Tian Sha had once again employed Spatial Translocation to materialize behind the Water Evil Demon Ape, unleashing this potentially lethal blow.

This rapid succession of events caused the Water Evil Demon Ape to experience an unparalleled level of pressure and existential crisis.

Yet, it was evidently not a being of simple caliber.

Confronting Tian Sha, who had suddenly materialized behind it, and the lightning-fast thrust of the Fourth-Order Spirit Whip, the Water Evil Demon Ape betrayed no hint of panic.

The interior of its body suddenly erupted with intense azure light, which rapidly coalesced into solid shields of blue energy, tightly encasing it.

"Water Source Barrier!" Accompanying the Water Evil Demon Ape’s low growl, peculiar water-like patterns flowed across these energy shields, seemingly imbued with a form of ancient and formidable power.

This was one of the Water Evil Demon Ape’s signature moves, an airtight defense conjured from the essence of the Water Element, capable of repelling most assaults.

Tian Sha’s Fourth-Order Spirit Whip struck the azure light shields with a sharp metallic resonance, only to be forcefully pushed back by the potent Water Element Power, leaving the Water Evil Demon Ape completely unharmed.

Witnessing this, Tian Sha’s expression shifted subtly; he had not anticipated this Water Evil Demon Ape possessing such an incredibly powerful defensive ability.

"Within these luminous barriers resides the power of Water Origin. How did you come by it? Could it be that you've absorbed and refined the Water Origin?" Tian Sha questioned the Water Evil Demon Ape, his voice laced with disbelief.

He was keenly aware of the rarity and might of Water Origin; even he could not obtain it with ease, let alone refine it.

Could it be that inside this Forbidden Array, the Water Origin, a facet of the Five Elements Origin, had been refined by this creature?

However, the Water Evil Demon Ape simply snorted in derision and responded:

"If I had refined the Water Origin, do you truly believe you could stand against me? This is but a fraction of the Water Origin’s might, yet it suffices to deal with someone like you."

With its declaration, the Water Evil Demon Ape surged forward once more towards Tian Sha, its immense form slicing through the air, appearing as if it intended to devour Tian Sha whole.

But precisely as it was about to lash out at Tian Sha, his form once again faded into mystery, seemingly dissolving into the void, causing the Water Evil Demon Ape’s aggressive strike to miss its mark entirely.

This turn of events darkened the Water Evil Demon Ape’s countenance further. It had never imagined that this seemingly insignificant Human would possess such formidable prowess and mystical abilities, compelling it to regard him with seriousness.

"Your capability to suddenly materialize and dematerialize, is this the Space Transfer Technique?"

"You possess the very power of space. Truly peculiar, this kind of ability is not typically held by an ordinary Human Martial Artist..."

The Water Evil Demon Ape mused aloud, evident signs of perplexity clouding its demeanor.

Meanwhile, Tian Sha appeared to have evaporated into thin air, offering no reply.

After a significant pause, Tian Sha’s voice suddenly resonated within Lin Dong’s consciousness:

"Brother Lin, this beast’s Water Source Shield presents quite a challenge. Breaching it proves exceedingly difficult. In the immediate future, I will unleash a barrage of concentrated attacks upon it. In the interim, you might attempt to discern its vulnerability..."

Upon receiving these words, Lin Dong experienced a degree of astonishment.

"This Tian Sha is truly remarkable. He has actually pinpointed my location," Lin Dong thought to himself, as it was only by knowing his precise position that such a mental transmission could be sent.

And he was concealed underground, utilizing the Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, yet Tian Sha managed to detect him?

This was truly exceptional!

Even the Secondary Ancestor might struggle to trace his current whereabouts. Yet, Tian Sha had succeeded in doing so.
