The moment Elder Sun said the words, a fierce beast with a sharp horn rushed out of the violent ocean waves.
“Zi!” Hao Ren yelled while he shot out sword energies.
Zhao Yanzi retreated half a step and slashed out twice with her longsword
The Tianshu Sword Technique instantly cut off half the sharp horn from the demon beast.
The demon beast immediately retreated to the sea, and Zhao Yanzi broke out in a cold sweat.
Roar! Roar… Dozens of demon beasts leaped out of the ocean into the sky.
More than ten streaks of heavenly lightning struck on some of the demon beasts, and the low-leveled demon beasts were instantly killed!
Despite it, more and more demon beasts rushed out of the ocean!
This level of heavenly thunders was much less powerful than the thunder tribulation for transformation. While the low-leveled demon beasts got a taste of heavenly lightning bolts this way, the high-leveled ones tried to use these streaks of heavenly lightning as their heavenly tribulations to transform!
In the sky, dark clouds got even thicker, and the dim sky instantly turned even darker than night.
However, it was weird that no rain came from these dark clouds.
Roar… Hundreds of demon beasts that looked like white horses rushed together into the high sky.
Crack!
One lightning bolt crashed down and instantly destroyed and shattered these demon beasts. Their flesh fell into the water, and the demon beasts that were waiting in the ocean opened their huge mouths and swallowed the fleshes.
The bodies of demon beasts were nutrients to other demon beasts!
Xie Yujia used spiritual herbs to make elixirs, but some elixir masters used demon beast’s blood and internal cores to make certain kinds of elixirs.
Hua! Hua… With another surge of waves, several more demon beasts got close to Purple Bamboo Island.
Zhao Yanzi used Tianxuan Sword Technique, and her longsword released a sword energy. The demon beasts were fast and lifted their paws to block Zhao Yanzi’s sword.
The demon beast that tried to sneak-attack Zhao Yanzi a moment ago was a demon beast without a level, but these demon beasts were level 1 demon beasts with strength equivalent to that of Core Formation Realm cultivators!
This time, Zhao Yanzi understood the great power of demon beasts in the ocean. While she retreated, she yelled, “Hao Ren! Hao Ren!”
Hao Ren was surrounded by two demon beasts right now. He shot 60 sword energies into the belly of a demon beast that was chasing after Zhao Yanzi.
Severely wounded but with its internal core intact, that demon beast retreated in pain.
“Fuma, be careful and don’t kill too many of them!” Elder Lu warned.
Zhao Haoran, the old dragon king, was a great candidate to elevate to the Heavenly Dragon Realm in the Dragon Tribe. However, in the sudden war in the cultivation world, Zhao Haoran had killed dozens of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the cultivation sects to protect the East Ocean Dragon Clan, which resulted in his intense murderous spirit and the inability to advance into the Heavenly Dragon Realm.
Although Elder Lu and Elder Sun didn’t expect Hao Ren to get into the Heavenly Dragon Realm, having an intense murderous spirit would have an adverse effect on his future cultivation.
“Great!”
Hao Ren released 120 sword energies which broke the feet of the two demon beasts that had rushed to his side before pushing them into the sea.
In fact, he didn’t like to kill as well.
With his current strength of mid-tier Gen-level, which was equivalent to the top-tier Core Formation Realm, it was easy for him to force back these level 1 demon beasts with Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll.
If Little White were here, its level 2 demon beast aura would have frightened off these weak demon beasts.
Seeing that she couldn’t defeat these demon beasts, Zhao Yanzi ran back to Hao Ren’s side and fought together with Hao Ren.
Her Tianshu and Tianxuan Sword Techniques were quite effective working together with Hao Ren’s sword array formations.
The morale of the generals and soldiers who were guarding the palace increased greatly when they saw Hao Ren and Zhao Yanzi fighting the demon beasts courageously.
At the same time, the generals and soldiers’ loyalty to the East Ocean Dragon Clan rose to a new high instantly!
While more and more demon beasts tried to get close to the powerful heavenly lightning, the number of demon beasts that were trying to get close to the Purple Bamboo Island also rose.
Guarding a region of the beach where the demon beasts could easily crawl up from the ocean, Hao Ren eventually felt like his 320 sword energies were not enough to block the demon beasts.
With her nature essence running out, Zhao Yanzi began to feel tired as well. However, seeing Hao Ren still fighting, she clenched her teeth and wouldn’t retreat.
“Fuma Hao! Let’s retreat!” Elder Sun called out.
Around the palace, there was another array formation. Once they were inside, they could block the level 1 and level 2 demon beasts.
Swoosh! Hao Ren’s hand released a grey sword energy into the clouds.
Waves of silver lightning flashed.
After a pause about half a second, the bolts of heavenly lightning crashed down from the high sky like raindrops in a storm.
Those demon beasts that entered the outer edges of the island were all hit by the dense heavenly lightning without any time to react.
Hundreds of demon beasts were died or injured!
Elder Sun and Elder Lu who had retreated into the array formation were stupefied, and the spirits of the generals and soldiers around the palace rose immediately.
“Magnificent Commanding General! Magnificent Commanding General! Magnificent Commanding General!” Standing in the key positions around the palace, they raised their long spears and chanted together.
Those demon beasts that were close to the Transformation Realm had intelligence, and they were shocked at the sight of dancing heavenly lightning bots around the Purple Bamboo Island.
The level 1 and level 2 demon beasts were their food, and they didn’t care about them. However, the stunning scene of the many heavenly lightning bolts attracted their attention.
The level 4 and level 5 demon beasts that were lurking in the sea around the Purple Bamboo Island all fled when they sensed the approach of level 8 and level 9 demon beasts.
Hao Ren felt goosebumps spread on his skin when the level 8 and level 9 demon beasts stared at him.
A level 6 snow lion was equivalent to a mid-tier Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, so the level 8 and level 9 demon beasts’ strengths were…
Just before these powerful demon beasts rushed to Hao Ren, the necklace around his neck released a faint light.
At this sight, the high-leveled demon beasts shivered all over with fear and turned to flee as if they had seen something more terrifying than heaven lightning bolts.
“Who dares to mess around in the territory of the East Ocean Dragon Clan?!”
With a huge noise, Zhao Kuo in his grey robe broke three floors and shot up into the high sky from the secret chamber.
Hua! Hua… 1280 sword energies spread to all directions.
The demon beasts that were still challenging the streaks of heavenly lightning were all pierced by the sword energies and dropped into water, creating huge splashes.
Those demon beasts lurking in the sea couldn’t escape either, and the sword energies shot into the water and pierced big holes in their bodies!
Boom!
The 1,280 sword energies reacted to each other and created a huge crater in the ocean that had a diameter of 50 kilometers!
All the demon beasts below level 6 were sent flying in this explosion!
“Hahahaha…” Zhao Kuo raised his head and laughed overbearingly. “Kid, come and fight with me!”
