NOVPUBChapter 1580 -102 Dragon Elephant
West Sea.
Within the Eightfold Sea.
A black-robed figure sat cross-legged on the seabed.
His gaze pierced through the boundless seawater, looking toward the direction of the land in the distance.
Although unable to see clearly, at this moment, he could almost synchronize with the emotions of his true body.
“World Eater, huh…”
“I’m afraid the end is still far away…”
A trace of worry flickered in his eyes.
Retracting his gaze, he then looked toward his side and spoke in a low tone:
“Two elders, how fares the situation now?”
Next to him, a ripple suddenly emerged, forming a pitch-black hole about the size of a bowl.
A slender, ink-black dragon head without horns peeked out from the hole, its red-glowing eyes fixed on the black-robed figure as a deep voice emerged slowly:
“Still haven’t found it. It’s too dangerous outside, Little Five doesn’t dare to stray too far.”
The black-robed figure’s expression slightly tightened:
“Are the World Eaters still lingering nearby?”
The ink-black dragon head lightly shook, a hint of puzzlement flashing in its eyes:
“It’s strange—perhaps because the Chaos Origin Substance in the vicinity has been dwindling, there are far fewer World Eaters outside this time compared to the last.”
The black-robed figure fell into a moment of silent contemplation but couldn’t arrive at any reason. However, he had indeed sensed lately that the feedback from the Outer Realm seemed to have lessened significantly. Earlier, he thought it was due to the gradual healing of the Truth Membrane Eye here and his imminent detachment from the Realm Membrane, but now, he wasn’t so sure.
After some thought, he said:
“I must trouble you, elder, to continue the search, but above all, remain cautious. The moment any danger arises, retreat at once!”
The ink-black dragon head nodded slightly before swiftly retreating.
The tiny hole closed in rapidly, its edges healing as though a wound, disappearing swiftly.
The black-robed figure raised his head again, gazing toward the sky over Fenglin Continent with a heavy expression, murmuring:
“Fu, are you still alive?”
…
Within the Realm Membrane space.
Although stunned by Wang Ba’s decision to single-handedly confront the World Eaters, Liang Wuji and the others immediately nodded their consent without hesitation.
“Leave it to us!”
As he spoke, Liang Wuji was the first to toss out an Array Plate, quickly calling to the others:
“Everyone, join me in the formation!”
The others didn’t delay for a moment and promptly entered the array.
In an instant, the Array Plate conjured up a towering Black Armored Strongman, imitating Wang Ba’s stance as it stood tall and firm, holding up the collapsing space.
Liang Wuji’s voice resonated from the Strongman’s mouth:
“Taoist Friend Wang, you may relinquish your hold.”
Wang Ba quickly nodded and replied:
“Everyone, be careful!”
With that, he withdrew his sky-supporting arms, and within his hands, a colossal Skyfall Blade swiftly took shape!
Propelling the blade toward the faintly re-cracking boundary wall.
At that moment, the Black Armored Strongman who had replaced Wang Ba instantly buckled under the immense pressure, its entire form slightly bending!
“Everyone, hold firm!”
Liang Wuji’s voice lost its earlier composure and gained an edge of urgency.
Inside the Strongman, all the Divinity Transformation cultivators were visibly shaken:
“Taoist Friend Wang was bearing such immense pressure all by himself just now?!”
“How… how did he manage that?!”
“This kind of burden—we’re struggling even as a group…”
Each cultivator was overwhelmed by shock.
Liang Wuji couldn’t help but stare blankly at the figure in the distance.
Moments earlier, he had only seen the Wanxiang Sect Vice Sect Master, Wang Ba, standing tall and steady—though not effortlessly so, neither did he seem overly burdened. It had all seemed ordinary, making Liang Wuji believe that with so many individuals exerting force together, success was guaranteed…
Now, amidst his astonishment, an indescribable sense of complexity arose in his heart.
The Three Sects and One Clan had always shared ties, yet differences between them remained. Before the heavens changed, the Longevity Sect had faintly held dominance. But in this moment, Liang Wuji clearly perceived the surging rise of the Wanxiang Sect.
“Times, they are truly changing.”
A sense of realization washed over Liang Wuji, and he promptly infused his mana, fueling the Black Armored Strongman’s strength.
Regardless of how the Wanxiang Sect rose, the Three Sects and One Clan had watched over one another for years, their fates inseparable.
Helping the Wanxiang Sect weather this crisis was priority above all else.
Meanwhile…
At the edges of the Realm Membrane space, ripples akin to water waves cascaded one after another across the boundary wall.
The wall trembled fiercely, letting out a sharp creak as it split open once more into a narrow gap!
This fissure connected with the gap previously torn by the mantis-like World Eater, and from this newly linked opening, a shadow abruptly slammed inside!
The moment the shadow broke through, it paused briefly, revealing a grotesque fish head resembling an Ankang Fish and the upper half of a pig-like bloated body. It surveyed its surroundings swiftly with its mist-shrouded vision, spotting only the nearest colossal figure.
Its view remained unclear.
“Ee-eehhh—”
The fish-headed, pig-bodied World Eater stared as if beholding the most delectable feast; greed and ecstasy flickered in its dead fish-like eyes. Opening its mouth, it spewed forth a bubble that shot toward the distant figure.
Simultaneously, the corpulent pig body rolled its flesh waves, charging forward at high speed.
As the distance shrank rapidly, the World Eater finally discerned the massive figure’s outline—a mighty frame clad in azure robes, standing tall, a massive blade weapon slowly dissipating in front… Wait!
The fish-head’s instincts abruptly registered danger approaching, halting its charge instantly.
But it was already too late.
*Swish!*
A blade, its form honed out of invisible light, sliced through where the fish head met the pig body in one clean stroke.
