The drumbeats continued to sound. When the drumbeats reached a certain density, the rhythm was maintained.
The sparkling starry sky became increasingly illusory, as if a formless sea had really descended. All the cultivators who were fighting were enveloped by this formless sea.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly because he discovered something very interesting. As the Mermaid Clan's drumbeats sounded, a mysterious power seemed to fall on his body out of thin air, causing his magic power to circulate more smoothly. His thoughts became clearer, and even his Qi and blood surged.
His strength increased quite a bit out of thin air. Although the increase was not as great as Hu Po's, it was still considerable. It was about ten percent.
The allied army of Jade Conch cultivators had been blessed by the Soul Race's soul possession, causing their strength to soar. Now, the Merfolk Race had a similar ability as well. With the double blessing, every cultivator's strength had increased tremendously.
The Demon Venerables could not figure out why they were no match for the little human Rizhao. They would probably be even more confused later!
Compared to the Soul Tribe's possession technique, the Mermaid Clan's blessing was not as effective, but the range was large enough.
How could they distinguish between friend and foe? After all, Yan Miao could not distinguish between friend and foe in such a vast area.
Lu Ye suddenly remembered that Yan Miao had asked him to take a drop of blood essence from all the cultivators. At that time, he did not know what Yan Miao wanted to do, but he agreed readily and ordered the cultivator alliance to cooperate.
Now, looking at the blood-red surface of the drum in front of Yan Miao, Lu Ye immediately understood that Yan Miao needed the cultivators' blood essence for this moment. This was the fundamental reason why the Mermaid Clan's secret technique could distinguish between friend and foe.
The blood essence that had been taken away should have been absorbed by the drum. Only the cultivator whose blood essence had been absorbed would be able to receive the blessing of the Mermaid Clan's secret technique.
Was this the surprise that Yan Miao mentioned?
This was really a surprise.
No wonder Yan Miao said that she could not directly participate in the battle. Now that she was leading the Mermaid Clan and using the clan artifact to cast this secret technique, it would bring her much greater benefits than if she participated in the battle alone.
The drumbeats continued, and the entire battlefield was enveloped by the formless sea. The Demon Venerables finally realized that something was wrong. Because with the drumbeats, their opponents seemed to have suddenly become stronger!
This was inconceivable.
They were already in a state of suppression. Now that their opponents had become stronger, the suppression became even stronger.
It wasn't over yet!
Suddenly, an illusory singing voice accompanied by the beating of the drums resounded through the starry sky. The singing voice was wondrous, as if it was a kind of awkward chant, but no one could tell what it was.
This wondrous chant didn't have much effect on the Jade Conch cultivator alliance. They only felt that this ethereal chant was very pleasing to the ear.
However, this was not the case for Zi Xuan's demonic cultivators.
When the song entered their ears, it suddenly turned into a sharp sound. It was as if someone was screaming in their ears, disturbing their minds and making them anxious. Even their Divine Sense Sea began to tremble. This situation was more obvious for the lower the cultivation level of the cultivator.
Only Demon Venerables were not affected much.
As for the rest of the demonic cultivators, even if they used their magic power to block their ears, it would be of no use. This was because the sound of the drum beating on their hearts could easily transmit this chant into their minds.
On the deck, five large drums vibrated incessantly. Nearly two hundred mermaids had pious expressions on their faces as they sang in unison. They didn't seem to be singing, but more like they were worshipping.
The cultivators from both sides finally came into direct contact. After the demonic cultivators lost their warships, the hastily organized defense should have been of some use. After all, they had quite a number of people. Even if Lu Ye killed many of them, their numbers were still equal to that of the Jade Conch cultivators.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Jade Conch cultivators would win, but they would have to pay a certain price.
However, with the appearance of the mermaids, the demonic cultivators' organized defense instantly became a joke.
The Soul Clan and the Mermaid Clan — the two major races each had their own miraculous secret techniques to boost the strength of every Jade Conch cultivator by at least thirty percent.
As for the demonic cultivators, they were affected by the mermaids' chant, and their strength was reduced. With this increase and decrease, the gap between the two sides widened.
The moment they clashed, the Jade Conch Alliance broke through the defenses of the Yao cultivators as easily as crushing dry weeds. The entire army of several thousand people, led by the many Yue Yao, transformed into a sharp blade that stabbed into the enemy ranks.
Accompanied by the sound of the war drums, the slaughter began!
"Song of the Tides! The Mermaid Clan? " A furious roar reverberated through the starry sky. It was none other than the most experienced and knowledgeable Bi Chen. At this moment, he was blocking Chen Xuanhai's ferocious attacks while looking in the direction of the Mermaid Clan in disbelief.
Even though he had lived for tens of thousands of years, he never thought that he would be able to see the legendary Mermaid Clan again. Moreover, he had personally experienced the terrifying profundity of their secret techniques.
He had read some records about the Mermaid Clan in ancient records. This race's greatest strength wasn't in battle, but in their ability to provide assistance in battle. Just like what was happening right now.
There were less than two hundred mermaids, but they were far more useful than their numbers.
Where was this place? Why were there first the Blood Clan, then the Lesser Clan, and now even the Mermaid Clan?
They were going to the Jade Conch cultivators, but they had plunged headfirst into a tiger's den. Most importantly, they didn't even know why these races were making things difficult for Zi Xuan.
Bi Chen sensed that the life force was disappearing one after another. He knew that it was the Yao cultivators who were dying. There were nearly ten thousand of them. How many of them would survive after this battle?
Moreover, the Yao Venerables were at an absolute disadvantage. If this continued, not only would the Yao Venerables not be able to escape, but even the Yao Venerables would suffer losses.
"Let's go!" Bi Chen transmitted his voice and made a decision.
Today's battle was too messy. They couldn't delay it any longer. The most important thing now was to escape. At the very least, they had to figure out which galaxy they were in.
Although he was no match for Chen Xuanhai, he was confident that no one on the battlefield could stop him as he was at the peak of the Sunshine Realm. He would just have to pay a price if he wanted to escape.
Zi Xuan had suffered such a great loss because she wasn't prepared. It wouldn't be too late to take revenge in the future when she was fully prepared.
As soon as he finished speaking, he activated his secret technique and took Chen Xuanhai's attack head-on. His body rolled back with the help of the recoil. His Qi and blood dispersed, and a wound appeared on his body. It was caused by Chen Xuanhai's talisman sword.
In the next moment, his Qi and blood wrapped around his body. He was about to escape.
However, when he looked up, a young man appeared behind him. The young man was dressed in black and red close-fitting clothes. He was dressed like a weapon cultivator. There was a long saber at his waist and a gourd in his hand. He looked at Bi Chen expressionlessly.
Bi Chen was stunned when he saw the young man's face. "Lu Ye!"
He had never seen Lu Ye before. He recognized him at a glance because Hei Yun had shown Lu Ye's image to the Yao Venerables.
Hei Yun had long suspected that the inheritance of the Dao Tree was with Lu Ye. He was afraid that the Yao Venerables would kill Lu Ye by accident. Therefore, he let the Yao Venerables see Lu Ye's image in advance so that they could capture him alive.
Bi Chen was confused when he recognized Lu Ye.
If Lu Ye is here, then isn't this Jade Conch Galaxy? But this Jade Conch Galaxy doesn't match the information provided by Hei Yun.
Bi Chen didn't have time to think. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Ye. His hand quickly enlarged and turned into a furry beast claw. It was obvious that he wanted to capture Lu Ye first.
This was an opportunity for Bi Chen. He couldn't defeat Chen Xuanhai, but he couldn't lose to Lu Ye. According to the information he received, Lu Ye was only Yue Yao.
As long as he captured Lu Ye, Chen Xuanhai would be afraid of him. He couldn't guarantee anything, but he could guarantee that the Yao Venerables would escape unscathed.
Lu Ye's strength had greatly increased due to his double enhancement, but he couldn't help but feel that he couldn't dodge this claw attack. After all, this was just a casual claw attack from Bi Chen before he escaped …
The peak of the Sunshine Realm was indeed extraordinary. He was still far from it.
But it didn't matter. He dared to stand here and stop Bi Chen because he had something to rely on.
If his cultivation wasn't enough, he could make up for it with treasures.
He patted the Sword Gourd lightly, and sword light swept out.
Bi Chen's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly retracted his beast claw, and at the same time, activated his demon qi.
But it was too late. The sword light pierced into his palm and flew up rapidly, piercing through his entire arm. Just as the sword light was about to reach his heart, it was finally stopped by his powerful cultivation.
Bi Chen was also decisive. He raised his other hand and chopped off his broken arm. Blood spurted out from the wound.
"A treasure?" Bi Chen's face turned pale. He didn't expect to encounter a treasure in this place. If he had known, he would have brought a treasure with him. The Zixuan Demon Star was rich and powerful. It wasn't as if they didn't have treasures.
Lu Ye, who was not far away from him, sighed inwardly.
The sword light nurtured in the Sword Gourd was powerful, but it consumed too quickly.
He had tested it before. In order to nurture a complete sword light, it required a treasure worth about five hundred million spiritual jades.
Every time he used it, the sword light's power would be greatly depleted. To replenish the depleted power, he would need to spend a hundred million spiritual jades.
In other words, the sword light in the Sword Gourd could only be used five times before it completely disappeared.
And each time, it would be weaker than the last.
He had used the sword light once against Zixuan's largest warship. This was the second time … it was far weaker than the first time. And this was because he had caught Bi Chen off guard.
If he hadn't used the Sword Gourd before, he could have killed Bi Chen directly.
But … it didn't matter.
Just as Bi Chen was in a daze, Chen Xuanhai was already standing behind him, holding the talisman sword in his hand. (End of Chapter)
