Chapter 1228 - 1225: Survival of the Fittest!

On the shattered wood, the people who were already in a desperate situation froze slightly and raised their heads to see Luo Feng and the others.

"It’s Luo Feng, the First New Dragon!"

"The disciples of the Golden Palace are here. We’re saved!"

"Woo woo woo... we’re saved..."

Cheering rose to the sky. Surviving in despair brought emotions that were hard to suppress. Some young martial artists were so moved they cried, profoundly grateful to Luo Feng and the others who came to their aid.

They had been besieged for a long time and had reached their limit. If the rescue had come a moment later, they would surely have ended up fish food, their remains never to see daylight.

"Everyone, leave this to us and head to the mountain peak."

Luo Feng caught the Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber and spoke loudly.

"Thank you. Today’s life-saving grace, even if I shatter my bones, I, Li Yuan, cannot repay!"

"Thank you, everyone..."

By now, the mountain peak had already stopped above them. Giving thanks, everyone eagerly rushed towards the peak.

Boom!

As the demon beasts fell one by one, a thick scent of blood spread, rousing the ferocity of the rest of the beasts. Shadows gathered, an ocean of marine beasts surged up from the waters, sweeping towards those trying to reach the peak.

Amidst the rampant demon qi, countless water arrows, ice balls, hurricanes, water spouts, and demon qi vortices were concealed, making the spectacle incredibly terrifying.

"Let these beasts taste our might. Kill!"

"Kill!"

Having rested for so long, the martial artists present returned to peak condition, their momentum soaring as they charged into battle.

The first to strike wasn’t anyone else but Lin Hongyi behind Luo Feng. Her hatred towards the Boundless Sea King transformed into endless killing intent. She stepped out, her figure like lightning, appearing where the demon qi was thickest.

"Five Peaks Demon Suppression!"

With a grasp in the void, five gigantic mountain shadows appeared in the void behind Lin Hongyi. As she pressed both hands down, the mountain shadows roared down with a heavy sound.

Boom!

With a loud crash, the demon qi was shattered, leaving a massive depression across hundreds of meters on the sea surface. All the demon beasts within the area were smashed to bits, and the seawater turned crimson, a gruesome sight.

Following that, Luo Feng and the others also made their moves.

To see the changes in strength after advancing to the second peak of the True Yuan Realm, Luo Feng fully exerted his True Yuan, generating purple lightning bolts in the surrounding space, and slashed down at the gathering shadows below.

"Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky Saber!"

Crack!

Thunder exploded as a blinding saber aura descended with terrifying momentum, vanishing into the sea surface in an instant.

With a rumble, the sea surface surged with giant waves tens of meters high. From above, the turbulent sea revealed a huge sky-shaped slash mark, and the beasts within were sliced into countless fragments by the rampant saber qi.

"Hahaha... exhilarating!"

His laughter pierced the night sky as Yan Hu rode the Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger, racing across the sea.

With each fiery step of the Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger, marine beasts were flung from the water. Smaller ones were devoured whole by the tiger, while larger ones had their demon cores consumed.

In a short time, the sea was strewn with incomplete corpses everywhere.

Among everyone, Yang Wanyi and Xia Yunjing were the most striking.

Yang Wanyi wielded the Nine Suns Burn Demon Clothes, transforming the surroundings into a sea of flames with a wave of her hand—so fierce that even the seawater was set ablaze, a nemesis to the sea’s demon beasts.

The usually gentle Xia Yunjing now appeared even more violent than Yang Wanyi.

With each raise of her slender arm, a large piece of seawater was lifted into the air, then she casually compressed it into a small ball, which she dropped into the ocean, causing a deafening explosion that made everyone’s scalp tingle.

No longer worried about exposing identity, Yue Haitang also went all out, spreading sword intent to turn a kilometer around into a sword sea, instantly annihilating the beasts within.

To Luo Feng’s slight surprise, the Sword Tomb disciple Jiang Fengfeng also joined in, walking in the void. Every tap of her fingers sent sharp sword qi shooting at incredible speed, piercing through the beasts along the direct path.

"Though this girl has quite a temper, her strength is indeed impressive."

Watching Jiang Fengfeng’s actions, Luo Feng felt intrigued by the Sword Tomb.

Joined by many experts, a massacre unfolded. In moments, a layer of beast corpses floated across the entire sea area, the number of dead beasts was countless, staining the sea red.

Still, rather than decreasing, the beast numbers grew increasingly larger, with terrifying roars faintly emanating from the ocean depths.

"It’s about time. Let’s head back."

Staying any longer could bring unknown consequences. Luo Feng knew he couldn’t delay, executed the Step of Sky-Burning Monarch, clearing away the surrounding beasts, and directed once to the peak.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

As Luo Feng and others entered the peak, a gigantic shadow suddenly surged up from the sea below, launching waves as high as dozens of meters, like a volcanic eruption.

Within the water curtain appeared a giant serpent a thousand meters long.

The serpent’s scales were the size of basins and completely black, its tail casually sweeping up storms on the sea surface, raising colossal waves, while terrifying demon qi formed black clouds surrounding it entirely. Its icy eyes stared fixedly at the mountain peak.

"Black Water Kui Jiao Python!"

"Oh heavens, this beast only exists in the depths of miles of sea. How could it appear here?"

"Fortunately, it didn’t show earlier, or we’d be doomed forever."

"Even martial artists of the fifth True Yuan Realm may not withstand it."

Seeing the appearing demon python, many martial artists turned pale, including some Golden Palace disciples.

Roar!

The Black Water Kui Jiao Python raised its head, its bloody maw wide open, as infinite demon qi gathered in its throat. Shortly, a black demon qi pillar hundreds of meters thick spewed out, encompassing the mountain peak.

Luo Feng took a deep breath. This strike left him no assurance of defensive capability, with high chances of being instantly obliterated.

Swish!

The sound of cutting through the wind arose,

as the Hall Master of Sky Sword Pavilion appeared beyond the light curtain.

"Demon beast, die!"

With a cold shout, the Sky Sword Pavilion Hall Master unsheathed the longsword in hand, releasing a massive sword qi that cut through the night, clashing with the demon qi pillar.

Squelch!

The black demon qi pillar held only for a moment before splitting in two. The remaining force of the sword qi descended, gently shuddering the giant body of the Black Water Kui Jiao Python, while the surrounding sea surface revealed a crack several kilometers long.

In the next moment.

Squelch!

Blood sprayed out from the Black Water Kui Jiao Python’s body as its massive form split open, crashing into the sea with waves erupting on either side.

In an instant, the entire ocean boiled.

Countless beasts charged at the Black Water Kui Jiao Python, scrambling for its flesh. In the world of beasts, cruelty exceeds that of the martial artists—it’s pure survival of the fittest, either devouring others or being devoured.

Luo Feng watched the sea, contemplative.

"This place is not suitable for lingering. Let’s go!"

Boom!

Tu Wanshan, the Hall Master of Yuangang Hall, commanded, and the entire mountain peak broke through the waves, speeding towards the distance.
