Gurgle … Gurgle … Huge bubbles rose from the bottom of the sea. The silhouette of the shadowy area became clearer. Humans were naturally afraid of the dark and unknown. Some cultivators who had a phobia of the deep sea had already stiffened up.
Madam Huang was experienced and knowledgeable. She was the current backbone of the Penglai Sect. She knew they could not afford to fall. She had no choice but to suppress the waves in her heart. She said, "If it's the Beast Monarch, we're in big trouble."
The current golden lotus was no longer the same as before. The concepts of cultivation, birth charts, and beasts had been deeply ingrained in their hearts for many years.
The Penglai Sect disciples had sour expressions on their faces.
"Beast Monarch …"
They could not even deal with a beast king, let alone a beast king.
"If Senior Ji isn't here, we can only rely on the Evil Sky Pavilion's Freeman, Senior Qin."
It was slightly difficult, but it was still better than them who had not even crossed the threshold of the Thousand Worlds.
At the mention of the Evil Sky Pavilion, the Penglai Sect disciples looked to the west. There was no one there, only the leaping oceanic beasts.
One after another, the oceanic beasts attempted to leap onto the floating island. However, due to their high altitude, they crashed into the bottom of the floating island, causing a deafening boom. The floating island shook.
Rock after rock slid off the levitating island and fell into the sea.
The 2,000 cultivators had no choice but to gather and hide on the floating island. They did not dare to take another step.
Boom!
The oceanic beasts seemed to have received some sort of instruction. They began to ram the floating island even more ferociously. They broke through the surface of the water and charged toward the floating island.
The oceanic beasts were in a frenzy. They ignored the pain and rammed their bodies against the floating island. Fine cracks appeared on the floating island.
The others retreated.
They gulped. Their hearts raced. They were extremely nervous.
Crack!
Another crack that was even larger extended from the edge of the island to their feet.
Some of the cultivators who could not hold back their emotions leaped into the air. As soon as they left the floating island, several oceanic beasts leaped over them and swallowed them whole. Their teeth clamped down, and blood splattered everywhere.
"…"
It was as though they were biting into a soup bun. Those who were closer were splattered with blood.
Someone realized the severity of the situation and immediately said, "This can't go on. Madam Huang, why don't we charge out while things are still under control?"
"I agree!"
"I agree as well. It's no big deal!"
The bolder disciples raised their hands and shouted.
Madam Huang saw this and nodded, "Good! Then I'll bring you out! Get ready — "
Two thousand people were waiting for their orders.
In the sea below, the huge shadow moved.
Rumble!
A deafening rumble came from the floating island, and the four chains around the submerged island rang as well.
"Let's go!" Madam Huang ordered decisively.
Madam Huang took the lead, and the other two thousand people followed closely behind. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! They flew up in unison and followed behind. Twenty umbrella cultivators wielded their weapons and released their umbrella astral techniques to open up a path.
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump … Madam Huang stood in the middle, looking around.
There were too many people, and there was bound to be mistakes.
Because the disciples were too nervous, the circulation of their Yuan Qi was not smooth, and their speed was much slower. Their companions wanted to save them, but it was too late. They could only watch as the sea beast pounced on them.
Crack, crack.
Blood splattered everywhere, and fear pervaded the air, causing everyone to flee quickly.
"Don't stop. Keep up." Madam Huang's voice swept through the crowd.
At this time, they could not afford to lose the greater good for the sake of small gains. Casualties were inevitable.
The phalanx formed by two thousand men flew a hundred meters.
Crack!
The floating island behind them cracked open. A deep rumble rang from the depths of the sea. It seemed to reach hell and the heavens. The 100,000-foot-long sea protruded. A pillar of water shot into the sky and towered between the heavens and the earth.
The others could not help but turn to look. The gigantic creature's back was exposed. The pillar of water came from its back.
The others shuddered.
More and more sea beasts lunged at them from the left and right.
"Stop it!"
They did not have astrolabes, so they could only summon their lotus seats and place them before themselves. The golden lotus seats formed a defensive line in all directions. Bam!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The sea beasts rammed the lotus seats in a frenzy.
The Penglai Island disciples endured the pain as they carried the lotus seats.
"As long as the lotus lives, we live. If the lotus dies, we die!" one of the disciples shouted.
The others shouted as well, "As long as the lotus lives, we live. If the lotus dies, we die!"
They knew they had to work together at this moment to defend against the attack of the sea beasts.
In the dark sky, the golden phalanx formed by the lotus seats under Madam Huang's lead broke through layers of obstacles and flew toward Great Yan's land. Their strong will to live allowed them to defeat wave after wave of sea beasts.
"The sea beasts are after us!"
"Don't give up! Keep going!"
The Penglai Sect disciples flew at full speed.
Boom!
The floating island could no longer withstand the attacks of the sea beasts. It fell from the sky, creating a huge wave that spread in all directions.
Madam Huang glanced at it but did not stop. Her expression was determined, but her eyes shone brightly.
"Madam Huang."
"I'm fine. Keep going!"
Madam Huang suppressed her surging emotions and led the others forward.
At this moment, a disciple pointed at the sea beast on the right and said, "The Tiger Mermaid is here!"
They saw the Tiger Mermaid wriggling its body in the water. Then, it leaped out of the water and lunged at them. Everyone raised the lotus seats in their hands and used them as a shield.
Boom!
"Ah!"
The Tiger Mermaid's mouth swept past hundreds of people. Hundreds of lotus seats were extinguished at the same time.
Hundreds of disciples were sent flying. Cries of pain rang in the air.
One after another, the disciples fell into the sea and became the stomachs of the sea beast. The seawater was quickly dyed red with blood. The churning seawater looked particularly enchanting.
"No!"
Who could bear to watch their brothers die so tragically on the spot?
"Hold it!" someone shouted, trying to boost the morale of the disciples.
"Close up! Quick, quick, quick … Little Zhang, what are you waiting for?! "an older disciple shouted at the frightened disciple in the distance.
The young disciple chuckled sadly. He wiped the blood off his face and looked down at the sea beast that was trying to charge at them. He chuckled again …
"Little Zhang!"
Whoosh!
A sea beast leaped out of the water and mercilessly swept past the young cultivator. Crack! It bit the young cultivator.
The elder's eyes turned bloodshot. He dove and attacked the sea beast. "I'll kill you!"
He wielded his energy saber with both hands and slashed at the sea beast. Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! The sea beast opened its mouth in pain. It swung its tail. Bam! It struck the elder's chest.
Little Zhang flew out of the sea beast's mouth and fell into the sea.
When Madam Huang saw this, she made up her mind. She gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go!"
Impulsiveness would only kill more people. She had to be calm and rational at this time. She chose to give up.
The remaining 1,000 Penglai Island disciples looked at the blood-soaked seawater with numb expressions. They did not know what to do.
"I want to save them!"
"I'll go as well!"
The elder cultivator turned into a meteor and charged downward.
Madam Huang sighed. She had no choice but to wave her arm and summon the Penglai Bluebird to kill the smaller sea beasts in all directions.
The 1,000 disciples spread out and dodged the attacks of the sea beasts.
The sky above the sea was in chaos.
Madam Huang and her favorite disciple exerted all their strength to save their injured fellow disciple. The formation closed up again.
"Let's go!"
"Understood."
Just as the square formation was about to move out again, the Tiger Mermaid pounced from the left without anyone noticing. It opened its mouth wide and had sharp teeth that could fit 1,000 people inside. A bloody thigh hung between its teeth.
"Madam!"
Madam Huang turned around and saw the Tiger Mermaid that was nearly 1,000 feet long.
The Tiger Mermaid's target was Madam Huang and the 20 umbrella cultivators at the front.
When they saw the gaping maw, their minds seemed to have short-circuited as they were stunned.
"We're doomed."
In the face of a powerful beast, humans were too insignificant.
Their desperate attempts to escape was nothing more than a joke in the eyes of these sea beasts.
It was cruel and hopeless.
Madam Huang did not move. The disciples leading the way did not move as well.
If they retreated, the hundreds of people on the right would be at a disadvantage.
Madam Huang said, "Keep running!"
These were the last words of the Tiger Mermaid.
She was pinning her hopes of survival on the others.
In the nick of time. Bam!
A dazzling golden energy arrow sailed through the air and pierced the Tiger Mermaid's head.
The powerful penetrating force nailed the Tiger Mermaid to the bottom of the sea.
Thud!
The others were stunned.
They looked in the direction the energy arrow came from.
They saw the Evil Sky Pavilion's team led by Lu Zhou hovering in the air. The Unnamed Bow in Lu Zhou's hand vanished.
Lu Zhou said tonelessly, "Madam Huang, are you alright?"
This greeting was perhaps the most beautiful voice they had ever heard in their lives.
They were overwhelmed with excitement. Their long-awaited reinforcements had finally arrived!
They were saved!
They could all be saved.
Madam Huang staggered before she was quickly supported by two disciples.
She had held on for so long, but she was already an arrow at the end of its flight. When she saw Lu Zhou, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She said excitedly, "Senior Ji, you're finally here!"
Lu Zhou nodded. He waved his hand and said, "Clean this up."
"Understood."
Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, Yan Zhenluo, Lu Li, Mingshi Yin, and Qin Naihe summoned their largest and tallest avatars and leaped down.
This could be said to be the strongest lineup in history, the strongest support team. It caused all the disciples of Penglai to be dumbstruck on the spot.
'Is this the Evil Sky Pavilion's strength?'
The smaller beasts could not even withstand a single blow.
They were all killed by humans.
The Penglai Island disciples did not find this cruel. Instead, they felt relieved. They clenched their fists as they watched the performance from the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Lu Zhou walked up to Madam Huang. When he saw her pale face, he used his healing power to heal her.
Madam Huang kowtowed and said, "Words cannot express my gratitude. Penglai Island will remember your kindness, Senior Ji."
Lu Zhou said, "It's nothing. What's the situation on Penglai Island? "
A female disciple quickly told him about the situation on the five islands.
She also told him about the number and strength of the oceanic beasts.
Lu Zhou merely nodded.
Madam Huang reminded him, "There might be a Beast Monarch. Senior Ji, it's best to be careful."
Lu Zhou looked down and saw a huge shadow moving slowly in the sea in the direction of the Penglai Island.
Lu Zhou took a moment to identify it. It was not the kun that crossed the Endless Ocean previously. It was the whale. He had obtained the Birth Chart Heart of the Moon-Gazing Whale from Meng Mingshi. This one was even bigger than the Moon-Gazing Whale. It was highly likely that it was a Beast Monarch.
A Beast Monarch's abilities were extraordinary.
If it was a Beast Monarch, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion would be in grave danger.
"Stop!"
Lu Zhou ordered.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion were puzzled.
However, they still obeyed Lu Zhou's order and returned.
The disciples of Penglai Island were also baffled.
He did not know what Lu Zhou was going to do.
In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou appeared in front of everyone and looked down at the water.
He observed the direction in which the whale swam and how it was killed.
"Senior Ji, be careful!" Madam Huang exclaimed.
Dozens of oceanic beasts charged at Lu Zhou from both sides at the same time.
The disciples of Penglai Island were worried.
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion remained unmoved. They were extremely calm.
Lu Zhou did not move from his spot. When the oceanic beasts were several meters away from him, he summoned his avatar and vanished.
Only for a moment.
BOOM!!!
The avatar's expanding and contracting power killed all the sea beasts that were charging at Lu Zhou. They were reduced to bits that fell into the ocean.
"…"
Was this the power that humans should have?
Lu Zhou strolled leisurely as he landed on the surface of the sea. He stepped on the water, but the blood could not touch him.
"Bastard, come out and die!"
Wu — —
The low cry spread from the bottom of the sea, and within a radius of a hundred miles, there seemed to be this terrible whimpering sound.
Seawater filled the sky.
The smaller oceanic beasts leaped about in all directions.
Lu Zhou felt small and lonely as he stood alone on the surface of the sea.
A skilled person was bold.
The disciples of Penglai Island knew it was extremely dangerous to stay close to the surface.
"Senior Ji, what are you doing?" Someone asked, puzzled.
"Capture the ringleader first. Just watch," Yan Zhenluo said.
The others understood now.
Lu Zhou did not even use his protective energy. He allowed the seawater to wash over him.
The seawater was repelled by the special properties of his robe.
He stepped on the water and advanced.
A golden halo appeared under his feet as he walked toward the boundless shadow.
When he was almost at the same spot, more than four beast kings leaped out from the surroundings.
Splash!
The seawater formed a canopy that blocked everyone's vision, the sky, and Lu Zhou's tiny figure.
Yu Zhenghai said, "Climb higher."
The others flew upward.
"Protect our friends from Penglai," Yu Zhenghai said again.
"Understood."
The members of the Evil Sky Pavilion formed a human wall that protected the weaker Penglai disciples.
The Penglai disciples clenched their fists. Their eyes were bloodshot with excitement.
Soon after, the seawater froze.
Creak!
With Lu Zhou in the center, the extreme power of ice spread out in all directions.
The seawater froze.
The frozen area slowly expanded. 10 meters, 20 meters, 30 meters … 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters … 1,000 meters … 5,000 meters …
Lu Zhou walked on the layer of ice.
He left behind four completely frozen beast-king-level sea beasts.
When Lu Zhou calmly walked out of the four oceanic beasts' frozen zone, the ice continued to spread.
There was a cracking sound behind him.
The four ice sculptures shattered. The four beast kings died in just a blink of an eye.
"…"
