Chapter 1659: Killing the Aquatic Beasts
Illusory Island, an island wrapped in mystery, an island that generation after generation of North Illusionary Sea denizens had gone crazy for. Giant whales, two-headed sharks, and many other unknown aquatic beasts had appeared before all the people from the 72 islands. These beasts seemed to be protecting the Illusory Island, but they also seemed to be trying to run from the Illusory Island. In any case, they had formed a terrifying tide of aquatic beasts.
How many people could break through the wave of beasts to enter the Illusory Island?
A terrifying fish-like beast swallowed a pseudo-God, and a water jiao clawed a Great Saint to death. Simultaneously, several Saints were crushed to death by some tentacled monster. One warship after another was destroyed, and a vast amount of blood was spilled into the sea. A bitter battle had commenced.
At this time, those from the three strongest islands formed a powerful wave of energy around them. The wave brought them along as it charged ahead and crushed the numerous aquatic beasts in their path. A hole was torn in the tsunami before their path, and they continued speeding toward the Illusory Island.
Just as their warships were about to break free of all the obstacles, a terrifying giant whale appeared and spat a stream of water at them. The water crashed into the warships, the impact causing the people on the ships to be momentarily stunned.
"I'll kill this thing. Continue opening a path," shouted Bing Ruogang before slamming both his palms forward.
Glacier Glazed Bottle!
A crystal bottle appeared between his palms and descended upon the whale, trapping the whale in it. The extreme cold from the bottle then froze the giant whale over.
Roar!
From a different direction, a furious roar rang out as an ice seal emerged from the water. Its terrifying soundwave stunned the people on the ships. As for the weaker ones, they were directly killed.
As a fourth-stage Demon God, the ice seal was extremely strong. It was much more terrifying than the giant whale. As it charged toward the warship, numerous ice spikes appeared around its body. The energy barrier around the ships cracked when it knocked against them.
Simultaneously, other powerful aquatic beasts were also attacking them. The combined force of the three strongest islands was finally broken apart when several of their warships broke into pieces. Their crew members were killed on the spot.
"Kill these animals!" roared Xue Xiong before charging a powerful aquatic beast.
Lan Shuirou shouted, "Don't get dragged into the battle! We need to focus on getting to the island!"
She then led those from her island and attempted to break through the encirclement, the Illusory Island being her sole goal. At the same time, Xiang Shaoyun and Little White were also attacked.
Because Xiang Shaoyun had to protect Weili Yana, he wasn't able to fight too freely. Fortunately, his speed was unrivaled, allowing him to repeatedly avoid the countless attacks as he danced and weaved amid the endless aquatic beasts. Little White wasn't much slower. With his white tiger wings outstretched, he followed closely behind Xiang Shaoyun.
However, these aquatic beasts were definitely not weaklings. A third-stage Demon God emerged from the sea and spat a stream of water at Xiang Shaoyun and Little White with a might that definitely couldn't be underestimated.
Xiang Shaoyun and Little White had no choice but to muster all their strength and face the incoming attack head on. With the Primal Inception Saber, Xiang Shaoyun unleashed a terrifying slash that cleaved the stream of water apart, and Little White clawed ahead, tearing the water apart before pouncing at the aquatic beast.
"Piss off!" Little White's claws turned into the size of mountains as he raked his claws at the beast.
When the beast sensed Little White's prowess, it erupted with powerful strength and engaged Little White in an intense battle. In its native environment, it was like a fish in water, able to gain an absolute advantage over Little White.
Meanwhile, Xiang Shaoyun utilized his speed to its fullest extent. With his gaze focused on the beast's weak point, his Primal Inception Saber flew out toward that spot. The saber split the water barrier protecting the beast before striking the beast's weak point. A large amount of blood spurted out.
Infuriated, the beast sent numerous waves sweeping toward Xiang Shaoyun. Little White took the opportunity to release his vicious tiger energy, unleashing countless punches at the beast. As for Xiang Shaoyun, he steered his saber from afar, slashing the beast repeatedly while evading all the attacks coming his way with his impressive speed.
"Little White, don't get dragged into a prolonged battle. Break free and advance!" said Xiang Shaoyun.
Little White nodded and dashed through the side of the water beast before continuing on ahead. Xiang Shaoyun withdrew his Primal Inception Saber and bombarded the area with a series of primal chaos lightning, making pursuit difficult for the aquatic beasts as he fled with Little White.
However, that was not the end of the endless beasts. Xiang Shaoyun and Little White continued to encounter aquatic beasts as they advanced, and none of the new aquatic beasts were weaker than the one they had encountered before. In fact, some of the beasts were even stronger than the prior beasts. They formed the Illusory Island's natural defense, stopping anyone from reaching the fabled island.
Neither Xiang Shaoyun nor Little White hid their strength. They traveled amidst the aquatic beasts, leaving a path of blood behind them. They weren't uninjured, as Xiang Shaoyun had taken a hit to his back from an ice spike to protect Weili Yana. Even his god body had been split open, and a large amount of blood was flowing out.
Weili Yana cried miserably when she saw Xiang Shaoyun take the hit for her. She had never encountered a battle this bitter in her life. Anyone else in a similar position would have fainted, but she gritted her teeth and forced herself to remain awake. She had a feeling that perhaps she would never have another chance to witness a battle this bitter. When Xiang Shaoyun's blood had spilled onto her body, she had felt her heart constrict from pure sorrow.
She inwardly blamed herself, If I was strong enough, I wouldn't need the overlord to protect me like this!
Little White had been forced to transform back into his main form as he engaged a fourth-stage Demon God in a desperate battle. His entire body was dyed red with blood, looking incomparably miserable.
"This can't continue. We need to act fast," said Xiang Shaoyun when he saw the countless aquatic beasts and the waves sweeping their way from behind them. Faced with the massive pressure, he had no choice but to release his soul clone. With the Divine Yin Yang Sword in his hand, the soul clone started a slaughter.
Whoosh!
Worthy of being a divine sword, the Divine Yin Yang Sword left a path of flesh and blood in its wake. No aquatic beast could resist its might. As for Xiang Shaoyun's main body, he released the Imperial Nether Domain and killed a group of aquatic beasts with it.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Xiang Shaoyun and Little White finally saw the vague outline of the Illusory Island ahead of them. They mustered all their strength and dashed toward the island. For some reason, the Illusory Island seemed to be moving away from them.
