"You’re right, as long as we endure today, the Demon Race will have to retreat!"Subsequently, under the leadership of True Monarch Profound Time and another, all the cultivators on Jixing Island became even more cautious.
...
On the Spiritual Boat,
Zhou Xun watched as the Demon Beasts pressed forward rather than retreating, revealing a surprised expression.
"It seems Black Island has some promise after all!"
Zhou Xun smiled faintly and ordered the five Spiritual Boats to stop,
"Very well, today let’s witness the might of the Human Race’s top War Spirit Ships!"
With Zhou Xun’s command,
the cultivators on the five ships promptly mobilized,
in just a moment, all Restriction Arrays were activated, ready to attack.
The five Spiritual Boats hovered in mid-air like five iron fortresses.
The massive Spirit Cannons shone with dazzling light, with muzzles several meters in diameter, like the mouths of ferocious giant beasts.
They were inscribed with runes, the Spirit Light shimmering, as Spirit Stones were continuously loaded inside.
Over time, the powerful Spiritual Power inside the cannons gathered and compressed to its limit.
"Attack!"
Zhou Xun, holding the Command Flag, pointed at the Demon Beast group in front,
instantly, five white beams several meters thick shot out from the Spiritual Boats, streaking through the sky like meteors, roaring towards the Demon Beast army.
The beams carried a power of total destruction, tearing through the air and emitting a sharp whistling sound.
In the blink of an eye, they reached the Demon Beasts,
"Boom!"
The Spirit Light struck the Demon Beasts, erupting with a violent sound.
Weaker Demon Beasts disappeared instantly, their flesh and Demon Souls vanishing completely.
Slightly stronger Demon Beasts were blasted apart, grievously injured and on the brink of death!
"This power is already equivalent to a strike from an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator!"
And this is one of the foundations of the Human Race, with nearly a hundred such Spiritual Boats in total.
Seeing the power of the Spiritual Boats, the Black Island Demon Emperor was furious, pointing towards himself with both hands,
transforming into a gigantic Ink Flood Dragon six hundred meters long,
stretching across the front.
Zhou Xun remained expressionless, ordering another attack!
Five beams fired once more,
the several-meter-thick white beams of destruction hurtling towards the gigantic Ink Flood Dragon that was the Black Island Demon Emperor.
The Black Island Demon Emperor’s eyes flashed with viciousness, as it opened its mouth wide, releasing a black demonic energy beam to meet the white beam.
"Boom!" The powerful forces collided, erupting with a deafening sound.
A strong shockwave spread in all directions, killing weaker Demon Beasts in its vicinity directly.
However, the Ink Flood Dragon only wavered slightly but soon stabilized.
"It seems Black Island’s strength has improved significantly!"
Seeing the Black Island Demon Emperor withstand the attack, Zhou Xun’s expression turned solemn, dismissing his previous underestimation.
This dragon’s strength increased dramatically every time he encountered it.
It appears these five Spiritual Boats are no longer enough to threaten it greatly.
Since he had tested the Spiritual Boats’ power, it was time for him to act next,
so he turned to Wei Chang’an and True Monarch Yun Shang and said:
"The Black Island Demon Emperor is not weak, we must remain vigilant, and now it’s our turn to act!"
Wei Chang’an and the others nodded, also sensing the Black Island Demon Emperor’s strength.
Wei Chang’an asked, "This dragon is quite formidable, are we not its match?"
"I’ll handle the dragon, you two hold off the other two Demon Emperors!"
Zhou Xun replied.
"And the other two?"
Wei Chang’an inquired instinctively,
"They will handle them!" Zhou Xun smiled slightly, as the Spirit Turtle Red Noon and Earth Element Beast stepped forward, bowing respectfully beside Zhou Xun,
"Greetings to the Lord!"
Sensing the demonic energy from Feng Chong and the others, Wei Chang’an was taken aback,
"Tier Four Spirit Beasts!"
"Indeed, I’ll leave the other two to them!" Zhou Xun nodded and continued to instruct:
"As for the five Spiritual Boats, spread out and attack, pursue those below Tier Four Demon Beasts!"
"Understood!"
Wei Chang’an and the others bowed, then their figures flashed, flying off the Spiritual Boat towards the opposing Demon Emperors.
Just as they left the Spiritual Boat,
Zhou Xun flipped his palm, and the Profound Thunder Sword appeared in his hand, then he gently tossed it.
The Thunder Sword transformed into about three feet in length, hovering in front of him, surrounded by flashing thunder arcs!
"Sword Shadow Unification"
Then he formed hand seals and softly shouted,
Mana surged at his fingertips, and a spirit light shone and struck the Profound Thunder Sword!
Sword lights appeared out of nowhere, encircling Zhou Xun,
then his spell changed,
and these sword lights merged one by one into the Profound Thunder Sword. After all eighty-one sword lights were fully integrated,
the entire Thunder Sword became extremely bright, trembling slightly, as if excited to strike.
"Go!"
He looked indifferently at the true form of the Black Island Demon Emperor, and Zhou Xun lightly pointed towards it!
The Thunder Sword shot forth like a lightning bolt, slicing through the void instantly, and headed straight for the giant Ink Flood Dragon.
Wherever it passed, strands of Thunder Power shot out, making crackling sounds.
The Black Island Demon Emperor immediately sensed the powerful Thunder Power approaching, a hint of caution flashing in its eyes.
This thunder had an extremely familiar feeling!
The Black Island Demon Emperor opened its massive maw and spat out a black demonic power beam, attempting to fend off the Thunder Sword’s attack.
However, as soon as the demonic power beam touched the Thunder Sword, it was shattered by the strong Thunder Power on the sword.
"Boom!"
Immediately after, the Thunder Sword slammed into the body of the Black Island Demon Emperor, producing an enormous sound.
The Black Island Demon Emperor roared in pain, its scales bursting open from the Thunder Sword, revealing the flesh inside, faintly glowing with a golden light!
"Black Island, it seems your strength has improved quite a bit!"
Upon hearing this familiar voice, the pupils of the Black Island Demon Emperor narrowed, and it looked towards the source,
only to see that Zhou Xun had somehow appeared, walking towards it in the sky as if strolling idly.
"It’s you!"
The Black Island Demon Emperor instantly recalled the previous encounters with Zhou Xun, a trace of panic inexplicably rising within its heart.
Then a gleam of ruthlessness flashed in its eyes, and it said viciously:
"Zhou Xun, don’t think I’m afraid of you. Now that I have rebuilt my body, my strength has doubled from before. Today, I will wash away my past humiliation!"
Saying this, it formed hand seals and pointed at itself!
Its black horn on its forehead flashed with a faint light,
following which, a black beam over ten feet thick suddenly shot out, heading directly towards Zhou Xun.
"Again with this move, is this all the Ink Flood Dragon tribe can do!"
This black light, he had experienced it at least several times,
and as its black horn lit up, he had already sent out the Thunder Seeds,
transforming into dozens of Thunder Shields in front of him,
"Whshh—"
The first Thunder Shield was instantly shattered, though the beam’s power was weakened slightly,
just like this,
the beam broke through six Thunder Shields in succession before its power was exhausted and it vanished into thin air.
However, the next moment, an astounding scene unfolded before Zhou Xun’s eyes,
as the Black Island Demon Emperor, having used this Lifebound Divine Technique, astonishingly transformed into a black stream of light and fled!
Zhou Xun watched the direction in which the Black Island Demon Emperor escaped, first stunned, then a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"That guy, he’s quite fast at running away."
At this time, the battlefield’s situation underwent a subtle change due to the escape of the Black Island Demon Emperor.
The other Demon Emperors watched in confusion as the Black Island Demon Emperor fled!
???
This was the Black Island Demon Emperor, the next king of the South Abyss Demon Race, and just like that, fled without any regard for face?
What should they do then?
Thinking of this, a trace of panic rose involuntarily!
"What do we do?" several Demon Emperors transmitted their voices to each other.
"Run!"
They exchanged a look, and several Demon Emperors launched a strong attack, then followed the Black Island Demon Emperor’s example and fled as well!
Without the command of these Demon Emperors, the demon beast army fell into chaos; some demon beasts began to flee in all directions, while others continued to resist in terror.
The Human Race Cultivators on Jixing Island saw this scene, and their morale soared.
Zhou Xun retrieved the Profound Thunder Sword, his figure flashing as he appeared beside Wei Chang’an and True Monarch Yun Shang.
Watching the retreating Tier Four Demon Emperors, he slowly said:
"Hold Jixing Island, to prevent them from returning!"
Upon saying that, he transformed into a stream of light, pursuing them!
