My Name is Da Hai

The Lunar Star's surface was enveloped by a tidal wave that sped into the atmosphere. It spread out in a circular fashion in an attempt to wash away the star's invaders.

The two reincarnated godfiends Earthly Sky and Shen Feng both scoffed. Using their own means, a massive hurricane appeared alongside a barrage of soil. All three forces clashed against each other causing the air to shake by the power on display.

It was a dance of supernatural forces that brought about a chaotic scene of complex spells being thrown around. Yet this battle was easily dwarfed by the cosmic confrontation taking place further above by more powerful immortals at the Great Principle realm.

The eight headed serpent's body slithered up into the air hissing at his opponents. The completed unity within him brimmed with power showcasing his newly ascended status. His aura as a Great Unity Golden Immortal felt similar to the two ancient godfiends.

"Wow," Wangshu gasped as she neared her comrade. "Five years late but you made it."

"Five years?" The snake was startled. Looking at Wangshu's figure, it was clear she wasn't in a very healthy state.

Her bark was marred with injuries and cracks. Her aura did not have the same majestic lunar feel to it that he felt when first meeting her. Compared to her, the two godfiends who he'd recognized as the ancestor of sky and earth and the ancestor of divine winds had fewer injuries.

That quick glance told him all he needed to know about the battle.

"Who's this?" Shen Feng grunted. His eyes narrowed with bloodlust when he'd heard the talks about aid. "I suggest you scram if you know what's good for you!"

Shen Feng leapt forward with his claws unleashed. His figure transformed into a spiraling tornados that left trails of hideously sharp air streams.

"Oh no!" The snake was startled into a panic by the sudden attack.

This wasn't his first time in danger but it was his first battle beyond the Golden Immortal realm. What's mor fighting a mindless primordial beast had nothing on fighting a real intelligent opponent with trained techniques. Thus he acted quickly.

Two streams of water manifested around his body. They spiraled into a circular disk which gradually thickened in volume into Shen Feng impacted it.

"Hm?"

"Grahh!"

Shen Feng bounced back after his attack. His intimidation tactic despite not being his best was still a formidable move he reasoned. Yet this new kid managed to block it.

"Wait Shen Feng!" Earthly Sky called out. "Don't you recognize that aura?"

His panicked voice drew the godfiend's attention. It was only then that his nose picked up the very familiar energy signature of Tian Hai.

"Tian Hai?" He uttered, half in confusion and half in horror.

"Get away from him!" Wangshu however did not give him time to panic. She had already released an attack that drove towards his location. As such Shen Feng retreated from the starlight.

Wangshu and the eight headed snake was submerged in thick amounts of the Lunar Star's light empowering them. The latter gasped in wonder.

"My apologies Tian Hai," Wangshu said. "At my current strength level I am unable to draw more of this star's strength."

"No it's fine. But you shouldn't…"

But as the two were talking, Earthly Sky and Shen Feng were having a conversation of their own. A conversation filled with initial panic at the implications but quickly turned in the opposite direction.

Many years ago, the incident where Luohu clashed against Qiong Qi was heard by all godfiends active or in seclusion. The incident left Qiong Qi humiliated and he had to be rescued before the self styled newly Devil Ancestor could kill him. But other details such as the appearance of Huoyun and 'Tian Hai' was also spread.

Many didn't believe it at first, not even when they attempted to divine the event themselves. Battle maniac Tian Hai risking his life for innate creatures? Tian Hai's performance had been disappointing to say the least. A bit pathetic in their minds. Heavenly Seas Tian Hai was reckless but he still had enough common sense to not get in the way of superior cultivators much less lecture them on the nature of morals and ethics.

Yet still that primal fear of past encounters with the man clashed against this news about him. For people like Shen Feng who ranked among the weakest of the three thousand and was famously known as a scavenger who took advantage of aftermaths of battles to look for benefits, it was confusing. Especially because he'd been beaten black and blue so many times by Tian Hai that it stopped being funny long ago.

Shen Feng found it tough to reconcile the two images.

THOOM!

The fiery blaze in another section of the Lunar Star signaled the arrival of Lu Ya and Taotie. The former gasped for breath while the latter pursued the injured sun god.

"Not so high and mighty now aren't you?" Taotie mocked. His massive jaw swallowed Lu Ya's flames hungrily like a thirsty man drinking. Yet no damage was done towards the godfiend's gut. The two tangled for several years yet Lu Ya found it tough to get away, Taotie's strength and his own injuries kept getting in his way.

However Lu Ya did notice the eight headed snake when he neared. "Isn't that?" He gasped in realization at a figure he had not thought about in many tens of thousands of years.

"Hm?" Taotie glanced down and also noticed the eight headed serpent. It was a surprise to be sure, but he did not have the same reaction as Shen Feng.

As a member of the four evils alongside Qiong Qi, the two had shared memories after Qiong Qi's return. He smirked a disgusting grin and chuckled.

"Well well well, if it isn't the messiah of ants," he mocked giddily. "Here to risk your measly strength to save even weaker ants? Oh how you've fallen Tian Hai."

"Taotie," the serpent greeted. He released his cultivation strength in offense.

"Great Unity huh? I'd expected mighty Tian Hai of all people to rise back to Great Principle," Taotie's chuckled and pointed at a scar on his belly. "I still owe you for this one. I'll be back in a bit so stay there like a good little dog."

"You fucker!"

"Calm down Tian Hai," Wangshu said in comfort. "We should focus on those two first. Let that fire guy deal with this invader."

All eight heads twitched and glanced at her. "Don't say that," he insisted.

"Hm?"

"I…fellow daoist please to not refer to me by that name. I no longer go by it."

"If this is about…"

"It has nothing to do with Yang Mei," he quickly cut her off. He cast a look into the greater universe towards the figure of Yang Mei. "I've come to a realization. This goes for all of you!"

All eight heads met the gazes of the surrounding godfiends. Each one of them gazed back strangely at the sudden show of dominance. Some found it funny, others found it strange.

However to the eight headed snake, he desperately needed to clear this up before things get too complicated. Keeping it a secret just felt wrong and Tian Hai had also fully inducted him as a godfiend as well. What's more, he also wanted people to hear him as he did so. After all, was he too not a great divinity born near the beginning of this cosmos?

'Hah might as well announce it here and now.' "The God of the Heavenly Seas of the three thousand Chaos Godfiends is dead!"

His voice echoed, traveling across the Primitive World as if the message became one with the wind. It wasn't even his doing, it just seemed like the very universe was resonating with him due to his nature.

Yang Mei narrowed his eyes even as he continued to tangle with Shenni. The latter of the two had his eyes going bloodshot with rage the more he listened.

Far away in the West Continent, Luohu and his companion both opened their eyes and looked up.

Near Mt Buzhou, the red robed Huoyun had his eyes closed. Yet he still perked up at the sound.

An elderly purple robed man who watched the Starry Skies tilted his head and grunted.

"Tian Hai perished by the creator's, by Pangu's hands. I am NOT Tian Hai! I am his continuation. I am the Great Sea born of the Primitive World's first generation innate gods! I am the Great Sea of the Chaos Godfiends!"

"My Name Is DA HAI!"
