The portly middle-aged cultivator glanced at the bloody water churning on the sea’s surface and the chunks of torn flesh, feeling slightly regretful inside.
In such a large-scale melee, no one could afford to be distracted; survival required their full commitment, and nobody had the mind to think about Demonic Beasts or spirit food.
They could only watch as the corpses of the Demonic Beasts they had just decapitated were consumed by other beasts.
"Hmm…the waves are coming!"
Despite the situation seeming safe for now, the portly middle-aged cultivator did not relax. On the contrary, his expression grew even more solemn as he looked toward the distance.
There, the speed of the waves was much slower than that of the beasts. Following the fierce battle between the beasts and the cultivators, the first massive wave that almost covered the entire sky finally crashed down heavily!
"Taoist Friend Fan! Taoist Friend Lang!"
The portly middle-aged cultivator hurriedly turned back and called out. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
On the nearby sea embankment, the two Nascent Soul Cultivators nodded and loudly replied,
"Taoist Brother Ge, rest assured!"
Other Golden Core and Foundation Building Cultivators also quickly took flight.
Just at this moment, the huge wave finally struck the embankment!
And in the instant before the wave smashed down from the sky.
A towering light screen suddenly lit up above the embankment!
The wave hit the screen and the screen wobbled slightly, then massive blocks of water fell like shattered white jade!
It also poured down like the Milky Way falling from the nine heavens!
"Good!"
The portly middle-aged cultivator clapped his hands in applause.
Turning to look at the scene, under the division and encirclement of the cultivators, the besetting Demonic Beasts were like trapped in mud, no longer able to escape or threaten the cultivators. Their complete decimation was just a matter of time.
He couldn’t help but nod slightly.
After all, a Demonic Beast was a Demonic Beast. Aside from their astonishing numbers accumulated over countless years in the unfathomable deep sea and their higher Rank, whether in combat power or intelligence, they were ultimately far inferior to cultivators.
Acting purely on instinct, they naturally struggled to preserve themselves under the cultivators’ assault.
Boom!
The deep sound of the giant waves in the distance made everyone’s Qi and Blood surge.
It was the second wave following closely behind, though its momentum was somewhat less than the first wave.
The portly middle-aged cultivator was not complacent, his Spiritual Sense swept through the wave.
"There’s a Sea-Splitting Whale hidden inside… but it’s only a juvenile."
The portly middle-aged cultivator sneered, and immediately produced a wisp of blue Wind from his fingertip, raising his hand to blow it.
The wisp of Wind silently spiraled toward the massive Whale Beast hidden within the wave, a beast measuring over a thousand zhang in length.
The Wind started slow but quickly accelerated, becoming as fast as lightning in the blink of an eye, directly colliding with the wave. With just one impact, the Whale Beast was decimated.
Blood spread rapidly with the wave, but in the magnitude of the giant wave, it counted for little, crashing against the light screen with all the rest.
The screen trembled slightly.
A vast amount of water poured down.
Yet at this moment.
The light screen wobbled again, but this time the shaking was violent, even causing the entire embankment to quake along with it!
While the portly middle-aged cultivator was still confused, the two Nascent Soul Cultivators responsible for guarding the embankment were instantly jolted awake.
Their eyes showed shock as they looked down:
"A Sea-Splitting Whale! It’s a mature one!"
Water splashed from the trembling light screen and slid down, finally revealing only half of the upper jaw of a black sea beast beneath the embankment, which already exceeded the juvenile whale in size.
Beside its gigantic head, the entire embankment looked like a slender strand of hair… easily broken!
Its eyes held ferocity and chaos; its flippers moved above the surface and then struck heavily!
The waves rose dramatically.
And then it slammed its head hard against the light screen!
The light screen started shaking violently.
Seeing this, the portly middle-aged cultivator finally snapped out of his stupor, his face changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth, shouting:
"Decapitate it quickly!"
With that, he hurriedly flew towards the mature Sea-Splitting Whale at high speed.
At the same time, he swiftly conjured several blue whirlwinds of Qi.
In an instant, they targeted the Sea-Splitting Whale, whose bulk was still submerged in the water.
Behind him, several Nascent Soul Cultivators who sensed something was wrong also quickly let go of their own Demonic Beasts and rushed over at high speed!
However, as a Demonic Beast, the whale’s perception of these things was inherently blurred. Its eyes only fixated on the giant light screen ahead, so its choice was—
Boom!
The two Nascent Soul Cultivators guarding the embankment felt a huge shadow whooshing up from below!
The shadow enveloped everyone on the embankment!
It was the Sea-Splitting Whale surging up from the water, its surrounding waters even forming a depression at that moment.
Then, under the horrified gazes of the two and the portly middle-aged cultivator, it crashed into the light screen.
Time seemed to stand still.
Sound seemed to fall into silence.
However, at this moment, a crisp sound shattered the stillness!
"Crack!"
On the light screen, a fine crack suddenly emerged, then spread rapidly under the wide-eyed stares of everyone... and the screen spectacularly collapsed!
The light screen vanished.
The great whale’s body crashed heavily onto the embankment.
Its back was scarred with spiral marks, along with various magic treasures and Talismans that had left bloodied holes.
Yet it was not yet dead; its fins and tail thrashed, directly breaking both sides of the embankment.
Seawater, rushing alongside the whale’s body through the newly created passage, poured in rapidly.
And in just an instant, the embankment standing in the middle of the sea, under the impact of the Sea-Splitting Whale and the fierce rush of seawater, without the slightest pause, collapsed rapidly to both sides!
Demonic Beasts in the sea quickly swam with the water toward the area inside the embankment…
