Chapter 1379: The Strongest Reinforcement in History
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huge bubbles rose up to the surface of the sea as the waves grew stronger. The shadow beneath the surface of the sea began to grow clearer as well.
Humans were instinctively afraid of unknown and dark things. Those who were afraid of the deep sea had already grown stiff.
Madam Huang was now the backbone of Penglai Sect. With her wisdom, she knew she could break down now. Hence, she could only suppress the tumultuous emotions in her heart and said, “It’d be troublesome if it’s a beast emperor.”
The current golden lotus domain was no longer like the past. They were now aware of their cultivation limits, Birth Charts, Birth Trials, and fierce beasts.
The expressions of the Penglai Sect’s disciples were slightly unsightly at this moment.
“Beast emperor…”
Let alone a beast emperor, they could even deal with a beast king.
“If Senior Ji doesn’t come, we still have the Free Man of the Evil Sky Pavilion, Senior Qin.”
Qin Naihe could not compare to Lu Zhou, but he was still leagues above them who had yet to enter the Thousand Realms Whirling stage.
At the mention of Lu Zhou, everyone turned to look in the western direction. The sky was empty save for sea beasts leaping up into the air once in a while.
The sea beasts continued to leap from the sea, trying to get onto the island. Due to the height of the island, they crashed on the sides of the island with loud booming noises, causing the island to tremble.
Rocks slid down the sides of the island into the sea.
The roughly 2,000 members of the Penglai Sect could only huddle together on the floating island, too afraid to move.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, as though they had received some sort of instruction, the sea beasts began to crash against the floating island in a frenzy. They leaped out of the water and began to rush toward the floating island at a higher frequency. They seemed to have lost their minds and no longer cared about pain as they threw themselves against the island. With that, small cracks began to appear on the island.
Everyone retreated again. They kept gulping as their hearts raced in their chests; they were extremely nervous.
Crack!
A huge crack extended from the edge of the islands to their feet at this moment.
Some cultivators whose fears got the better of them flew out immediately. Alas, as soon as they flew off the island, several sea beasts leaped up and swallowed them. When the sea beasts’ mouths snapped shut, blood splattered everywhere.
“…”
It was as though the sea beasts were biting on extremely juicy dumplings. Those who were standing closer were splashed with blood.
Upon realizing the graveness of the situation, someone said, “Madam Huang, we can’t go on like this. While the situation is still somewhat under control, we should rush out now.”
“I agree!”
“I agree as well! What’s there to be afraid of?!”
The courageous disciples spoke up one after another, raising their hands.
Upon seeing this, Madam Huang nodded. “Alright. Then, I’ll lead the way. Get ready!”
2,000 people waited for Madam Huang’s order with bated breath.
In the sea, the huge shadow moved.
Boom!
Clank!
The four chains that held the floating island clanked loudly.
“Go!” Madam Huang cried out decisively. She took the lead and flew out as 2,000 people followed closely behind her.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
They flew out in unison.
The 20 umbrella-wielding cultivators released energy seals, opening up a path ahead of everyone.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Madam Huang looked to the left and right. With so many people, there were going to mistakes.
A few disciples were too nervous, and the circulation of their Primal Qi was not smooth. As a result, their speed slowed down significantly.
With this, the others could only watch helplessly as they were eaten by the sea beasts. They could save the others in time.
Blood splattered in the air, fanning the fear in everyone’s heart and causing them to speed up.
“Don’t stop! Keep up!” Madam Huang said, releasing a soundwave.
Although it was unfortunate, casualties were unavoidable in this situation.
The 2,000 people formed a square formation and flew 100 meters away.
Crack!
The floating island cracked open as a deep bellow rang from the sea as though it came from hell. Waves rose high into the sky, towering among the clouds. At the same time, a pillar of water shot up into the sky.
Everyone instinctively turned back to look. They saw the back of an enormous sea beast. A hole on its back was spurting out a pillar of water into the sky. They shuddered in fear at this sight.
More and more sea beasts began to leap up.
“Keep them away!”
The cultivators did not have astrolabes so they could only use their lotuses, forming a line in front of them.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sea beasts crashed into the lotuses.
The disciples of Penglai Sect endured the pain from the impact and continued to hold their lotuses up.
Someone finally shouted, “If we keep using our lotuses to block them, we’ll die!”
“If we don’t do that, we’ll die as well!” someone shouted in return.
Nevertheless, they knew they had to be united at this moment in order to resist the sea beasts’ attacks.
The golden square formation in the sky, led by Madam Huang, continued to break through the walls of sea beasts in front of them, heaving toward Great Yan. Their strong desire to survive helped them to defeat wave after wave of sea beasts.
“The sea beasts are chasing after us!”
“Don’t be discouraged! Continue!”
The Penglai Sect disciples flew with all their might.
Boom!
The broken floating island could no longer withstand the attack from the sea beasts and fell from the sky into the sea, stirring up huge waves.
Madam Huang only took a glance; she did not stop moving. Her expression was determined, but her eyes were shining with tears.
“Madam Huang!”
“I’m fine. Continue!”
Madam Huang suppressed her emotions and continued to lead the group forward.
At this moment, a disciple pointed at something that was slashing through the sea on the right side. “The Tigershark is here!”
In just a second, the Tiger Shark leaped out of the sea, arriving in front of them. All of them raised their lotuses to resist it.
Boom!
Painful cries rang in the air one after another.
The Tigershark had bitten through hundreds of cultivators. Hundreds of lotuses dimmed in just an instant.
On the other side, hundreds of disciples were sent flying back in the air. One by one, they fell into the sea, becoming food for the sea beasts.
In just a moment, the seawater was dyed red with blood.
“No!”
Who could endure watching their comrades die without any emotions?
“Keep your cool!” someone shouted.
“Get back into formation! Hurry up! Little Zhang, what are you standing there for?!” an older disciple shouted at the younger disciple who was scared silly.
Little Zhang, the younger disciple, laughed mournfully. He wiped the blood off his face before he looked at the sea beast below that was about to leap up again. Then, he laughed again.
“Little Zhang!”
Swoosh!
The sea beast leaped out of the sea, mercilessly biting Little Zhang.
The older disciple’s eyes reddened immediately. He swooped down and attacked the sea beast in a frenzy. “I’ll fight to the death with you!”
He wielded a saber with both hands and brought it down at the sea beast.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sea beast roared in pain as it swung its tail around, hitting the chest of the older disciple. At the same time, Little Zhang flew out of the sea beast’s mouth and fell into the ocean.
Upon seeing this, Madam Huang gritted her teeth and said decisively, “Go!”
Being reckless would only get more people killed. At this time, she had to remain calm and rational. She chose to give up and continue to move forward.
The remaining 1,000 disciples looked at the red seawater in a daze. They did not know what to do.
“I can’t leave them behind!”
“Me too!”
A few cultivators rushed down.
Madam Huang sighed and waved her hand. She used the Green Bird of Penglai to sweep all the small sea beasts in the vicinity away.
The 1,000 disciples spread out to avoid the sea beasts.
It was utter chaos in the sky.
Madam Huang and her close disciples used all their strength to save the injured disciple. Fortunately, they succeeded.
“Let’s go!”
“Okay!”
Just as the square formation was about to fly forward again, the Tigershark leaped up from the left without anyone noticing until it was too late. Its bloody mouth was enough to fit 1,000 people. A bloody thigh could be seen between one of the gaps between its teeth at this moment.
“Madam!”
Madam Huang turned around and saw the Tigershark that was nearly 1,000 feet long. Its target this time was her and the twenty umbrella-wielding cultivators.
When they saw the Tigershark’s bloody teeth, they were stunned.
“It’s over!”
Faced with powerful fierce beasts, humans were too insignificant. They tried their best to escape, but in the eyes of the fierce beasts, their attempt was just a joke. What a cruel fate.
Madam Huang did not attempt to dodge. Her disciples were the same. If they retreated, the hundreds of disciples of the right would suffer.
At this time, Madam Huang shouted, “All of you continue to escape!”
These were her final words. She would place her hope of survival on the others.
At the critical moment…
Bang!
A golden arrow tore through the sky before piercing the head of the Tigershark. The huge force dragged it back into the sea.
Splash!
Everyone was stunned. When they finally looked in the direction whence the arrow came from, they saw Lu Zhou leading a group of people behind him. Unnamed in the form of a bow disappeared in his hand.
Lu Zhou calmly asked, “Madam Huang, are you alright?”
This voice was likely the most beautiful sound they had ever heard in their lives. They were so overwhelmed with happiness, excitement, and relief that they could not react for a moment.
They were saved! They were saved! Reinforcement was finally here!
Madam Huang staggered, and two disciples hurriedly stepped forward to support her. She was already at the end of her tether, and when she saw Lu Zhou, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. She said excitedly, “Senior Ji, you’re finally here!”
Lu Zhou nodded. Then, he waved his hand and said, “Clean them up!”
“Understood!”
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Mingshi Yin, and Qin Naihe manifested their avatars and swooped down one after another.
The disciples of Penglai Sect were frozen. This had to be the strongest reinforcement team in history. This… this was the Evil Sky Pavilion’s strength?
Needless to say, the small sea beasts could not even withstand a single blow.
The disciples of Penglai Sect did not feel sorry nor did they feel it was cruel as they watched the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion slaughter the sea beasts. Instead, they felt relieved. They clenched their hands into fists as they watched the performance of the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou flashed in front of Madam Huang. Seeing her pale face, he cast his healing ability on her.
Madam Huang fell to her knees and said, “Thank you so much! Penglai Island will forever remember Senior Ji’s kindness!”
Lu Zhou said, “It’s nothing. How’s Penglai Island?”
A female disciple hurriedly recounted what happened to the five islands of Penglai.
Lu Zhou nodded.
At this time, Madam Huang reminded Lu Zhou, “There might be a beast emperor. It’s best to be careful, Senior Ji.”
Lu Zhou looked down and saw a huge shadow under the sea’s surface moving slowly from the direction of Penglai Island.
It was not the gargantuan Kun he had seen the first time he had crossed the Endless Ocean. It was a monstrous whale-like fierce beast. This whale-like fierce beast was even bigger than the Moon Whale whose life heart he had obtained from Meng Mingshi. It was very likely the whale-like fierce beast was a beast emperor.
Beast emperors’ abilities were powerful. If the whale-like fierce beast was indeed a beast emperor, then it would be dangerous for the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion to rush out like this.
Lu Zhou called out, “Stop. Retreat.”
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were puzzled. Nevertheless, they did not question him and obediently returned to his side.
The disciples of Penglai Sect were puzzled as well. They did not understand what Lu Zhou was trying to do.
Lu Zhou flashed forward and stood in front of everyone, looking at the sea. He observed the whale-like fierce beast.
“Senior Ji, be careful!” Madam Huang cried out in alarm at this time.
Dozens of sea beasts leaped up from both sides and pounced on Lu Zhou at the same time.
Seeing this, the disciples of Penglai Sect were worried.
On the contrary, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were completely calm.
Lu Zhou did not move. When the sea beasts were only a few meters away from him, his avatar suddenly appeared around before disappearing just as quickly. It appeared only for an instant.
Boom!
The appearance of Lu Zhou’s avatar alone killed off all the sea beasts that were pouncing at him. They dropped into the sea in pieces.
“…”
‘Is this the kind of power humans have?’
Lu Zhou descended and leisurely walked on the surface of the sea. However, the bloody water did not stain the hem of his robes at all.
“Beast, why aren’t you coming out to die?”
Wu!
A deep bellow rang from the sea that spread for 100 miles.
Water splashed up into the sky as small sea beasts rained down.
Lu Zhou looked lonely and small standing on the surface of the sea among the chaos.
Nevertheless, in the eyes of the Penglai Sect disciples, he looked heroic and bold. They all knew how dangerous it was at the surface of the sea, after all.
“Senior Ji, what are you doing?” someone asked.
Yan Zhenluo replied instead, “To deal with the small fry, you first have to take down their leader. Just watch.”
Everyone understood these words.
Lu Zhou did not even activate this protective energy and allowed the water to splash freely. However, due to his special robe, the seawater was automatically repelled.
Lu Zhou advanced step by step on the surface of the sea. A golden circle of light appeared beneath his feet as he made his way toward the shadow under the sea’s surface.
At this moment, more than four beast kings leaped up at the same time from all directions.
The waves were monstrous, rising high up into the sky and covering the sky and Lu Zhou.
Yu Zhenghai called out, “Rise higher into the sky.”
Everyone flew up.
“Protect our friends from Penglai,” Yu Zhenghai said again.
“Yes!”
The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion formed a human wall to protect the weak Penglai Sect disciples.
The Penglai Sect disciples clenched their hands, and their eyes were red with excitement.
At this time…
Swoosh!
With Lu Zhou in the center, the seawater began to freeze, the ice spreading in all directions.
10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, 1,000 meters, 5,000 meters…
The seawater continued to freeze.
Lu Zhou walked on ice, leaving more than four frozen beast kings in his wake. As he walked forward, the ice continued to spread in front of him.
At this moment…
Crack!
The frozen beast kings suddenly shattered into pieces, falling on the frozen surface of the sea. Just like that, all of them died.
“….”
