Chapter 582: Mountain Sea Realm Sword Intent

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Outside the southern walls of Sea Dominion City, the number of sea monsters there was almost endless compared to other locations along the wall.

Although most of them were only First-Tier sea monsters, they still played a crucial role in attacking the immobile Sea Dominion City.

Moreover, besides these First-Tier sea monsters, the number of second-order sea monsters was several times higher there than in other places, and most importantly, there were Third-Tier sea monsters.

Not only were there Third-Tier initial-stage sea monsters but there were also several Third-Tier peak sea monsters entrenched there at the moment. Their massive bodies continuously collided with the formation of Sea Dominion City, attempting to forcefully collapse it.

Gu Danying and several other pinnacle Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts from within the city were currently there, resisting the attacks of these Third-Tier peak sea monsters.

Gu Danying had originally been dealing with the contaminated warriors within the city, but the situation at the southern wall had forced her to rush over for reinforcement.

With the strength of Sea Dominion City’s formation, even if several Third-Tier peak sea monsters were to attack, they should not have been able to shake it in the slightest.

However, unfortunately, there was a problem with the formation of Sea Dominion City; one of its nodes had been directly destroyed by someone. Although this node was not the main one, its destruction had caused a breach in the defense of the formation.

The location of the formation’s nodes in Sea Dominion City was the most confidential information, something that ordinary people had no way of knowing, let alone destroying. However, unfortunately, this particular node was forcibly destroyed.

There had been no warnings beforehand, and after the destruction of this node, its guardians had disappeared without a trace.

Within Sea Dominion City, there were still Evil contaminated individuals engaged in arson, murder, and looting at this moment. Gu Danying could only send the late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts to deal with them first. Otherwise, if she waited to resolve the internal affairs of the city before coming over, the southern wall would likely be breached.

The blade in Gu Danying’s hand sliced through the air, causing a slight tremor in a Third-Tier peak turtle-type sea monster. A powerful force burst out from within its body, and in the blink of an eye, the limbs of this Third-Tier peak turtle monster became a blur of flesh and blood.

Sea monsters, compared to human warriors, possessed much greater toughness in their bodies. For turtle-type sea monsters, defense was their innate talent, making it extremely difficult for ordinary late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts to injure them.

Before Gu Danying arrived, this turtle-type sea monster had already fought with other late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts, but they had only managed to push it away from the city wall, not inflict much damage.

However, with Gu Danying’s arrival, just one slash nearly turned its limbs into mush, highlighting a staggering difference in power.

The turtle-type sea monster crashed down onto the sea surface, its immense weight crushing many First-Tier sea monsters beneath it, instantly spreading a crimson hue across the sea.

“Roar!”

The turtle-type sea monster lifted its head to look at Gu Danying, emitting a deafening roar from its mouth. The intense sound waves, in conjunction with the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth, instantly killed another large group of First-Tier sea monsters that had narrowly escaped being crushed earlier.

Gu Danying remained indifferent as she slashed through several other Third-Tier peak sea monsters.

Just like the turtle-type sea monster, a powerful force suddenly burst out from within their bodies, rendering their formidable physical defenses useless against her slashes.

Void Blade!

Among the top inheritances within the Thousand Feathers Alliance, it was unparalleled, even compared to the techniques of the ten major powers. This inheritance originated from the formidable figure of the Mountain Sea Realm, Min Yanlu.

Within the main headquarters of the Thousand Feathers Alliance, there were several top-tier inheritances, all passed down by Min Yanlu. Depending on the individual disciple’s talents, they would receive different martial arts inheritances.

Only formidable figures like Min Yanlu, from the Mountain Sea Realm, could provide so many top-tier inheritances for each disciple to cultivate.

Gu Danying’s cultivation of the Void Blade didn’t target the surface of the opponent’s body but instead directed the force through the void, erupting directly within the enemy’s body.

Compared to the defense on the surface of their bodies, the internal resilience of sea monsters, while still robust, was definitely weaker.

In the case of warriors, they might fare slightly better because their physique was tempered both internally and externally as their cultivation realm increased. Although their internal resilience might be somewhat weaker, it wasn’t as pronounced as with monsters.

Monsters generally had large bodies, and due to their racial characteristics, they possessed tremendous strength. They instinctively distributed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth throughout their outer layer during battles to enhance their power.

The Void Blade was created based on this characteristic, a top-tier technique that injured several Third-Tier peak sea monsters with just one move.

However, compared to human warriors, monsters had a very obvious characteristic—they had strong regenerative abilities.

Monsters focused on physical strength, so their regenerative abilities were naturally strong. This ensured that after being injured, they could recover their combat power more quickly, rather than being at the mercy of their attackers.

If it were human warriors who had suffered injuries like those inflicted by the sea monsters just now, even if they weren’t severely wounded, their combat effectiveness would undoubtedly be greatly affected.

But these sea monsters, with their flesh torn apart, were rapidly recovering from their injuries. In just a few moments, their wounds had already healed halfway. If not stopped, their injuries from earlier would likely fully recover in no time.

Gu Danying and the other late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts showed no surprise at this situation.

This was the tricky part about dealing with monsters—trying to completely crush them with a single blow was difficult to achieve unless one’s strength far surpassed theirs, such as by surpassing their realm by a significant margin.

But once they reached the peak of the Third-Tier, they were already approaching the fourth order, equivalent to the Mountain Sea Realm in human terms. This was an ultimate transformation.

Facing a formidable figure like a Mountain Sea Realm expert, these Third-Tier peak sea monsters would have long fled and wouldn’t dare to show themselves like this.

With a clap of its limbs on the sea surface, the turtle-type sea monster surged through the waves like a meteor, heading straight for Gu Danying.

Its imposing aura overwhelmed the surroundings, and the turtle monster’s shell turned bright red in an instant, the astonishing heat rippling through the surrounding void.

The other late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts around them subtly changed their expressions. It was evident that the turtle monster had just been hurt by Gu Danying, yet it was now recklessly charging over, seemingly intent on using its massive body and sturdy shell to crush Gu Danying to death.

Such an attack would be difficult for ordinary late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts to withstand. If they tried to confront it head-on, they might end up severely injured.

Avoiding the attack, on the other hand, was simple. Compared to sea monsters, one advantage human warriors had was their agility.

Monsters had large bodies and great strength, but their agility was relatively weaker. Therefore, in other situations, an approach like the turtle monster’s charge wouldn’t be effective, as warriors could simply dodge it.

However, the current situation was different, with Sea Dominion City behind them and a gap in its defensive formation. If the turtle monster were to charge in like this, the damage to Sea Dominion City’s formation would likely increase immediately.

At that point, it wouldn’t just be the southern wall that was weakened; there would be significant issues with the defenses of the other three walls as well, making Sea Dominion City even more perilous.

To restore the formation of Sea Dominion City to its normal state, the destroyed node had to be repaired, and the formation master was currently working tirelessly to repair it.

However, repairing what was destroyed was easier said than done, especially for a massive formation like Sea Dominion City. Even with top-notch formation masters, repairing the node would still require a significant amount of time.

The other late-stage Combined Aperture Tempering realm experts rushed over to help withstand the turtle monster’s charge, but immediately, other Third-Tier peak sea monsters intervened, dragging them into a stalemate.

Gu Danying watched the massive momentum of the turtle monster, seemingly capable of breaking through the void. Her expression remained unchanged as she casually slashed with her blade, and the Void Blade struck directly into the turtle monster’s body.

The turtle monster’s body trembled slightly, emitting a painful roar. However, the slash didn’t halt its charge; instead, it intensified its momentum.

“Activate!”

Gu Danying’s low shout caused the blade in her hand to violently tremble, and countless rays of light burst forth from it, unleashing a terrifying sword intent.

“Slash!”

Gu Danying swung her blade towards the turtle monster.

The once frenzied turtle monster suddenly trembled violently, engulfed in a sense of deathly fear.

Not only the turtle monster but also the surrounding sea monsters, whether Third-Tier peak or First-Tier initial, felt a sense of impending doom creeping over them.

This feeling came suddenly yet naturally, as if embracing death was an inevitable choice. They couldn’t escape it, nor did they want to.

Many First-Tier sea monsters began to silently disintegrate, their flesh crumbling away without a sound.

The second-order sea monsters stiffened, unable to move a muscle, caught between the instinct to survive and the onslaught of deathly intent.

Their previous desire to recklessly charge towards Sea Dominion City, driven by overwhelming power, seemed to fade away.

Only the Third-Tier sea monsters, though touched by the sense of impending death, were not completely controlled by it. However, their strength involuntarily diminished, and their strongest urge was to turn and flee from this place.

Breaking through Sea Dominion City was no longer the most important thing.

Within Sea Dominion City, Chen Fei, who was heading towards the Primordial Sword Sect, involuntarily turned his head towards the southern wall.

The power of the Mountain Sea Realm, yet not entirely belonging to it.

Chen Fei had encountered the formidable figure of the Mountain Sea Realm, Min Yanlu, and the aura he sensed at the southern wall now felt like Min Yanlu’s, but greatly weakened.

And this should be Min Yanlu’s final move.

“Boom!”

The sound of the explosion echoed throughout Sea Dominion City, momentarily silencing the entire city. However, soon after, the eerie contaminated individuals resumed their arson and killing.

Life and death were not considerations for these eerie contaminated individuals.

Chen Fei leaped and landed on the eaves of a building, looking ahead. A massive city wall appeared before him.

The defense zone of the Primordial Sword Sect was now outside.

Chen Fei’s figure soared high into the air. Just as he passed over the city wall, the formation below trembled slightly. The power of the formation enveloped Chen Fei, and his figure disappeared from view.

Chen Fei turned his head and saw not far away, Liu Wanggu of the Eternal Spring Sect was grinning at him.

At this moment, Liu Wanggu’s eyes had a grayish-white hue, indicating that he too had been contaminated by the Thousand-Eyed Ghoul. No wonder he could break through the restrictions of the Eternal Spring Sect’s techniques; the original source was here.

A portion of the control over the formation manipulation was in Liu Wanggu’s hands at this city wall. Liu Wanggu waited here, and anyone passing through this area, intending to go outside to fight the sea monsters, would be dragged into this formation by him.

Chen Fei saw two figures lying motionless on the ground not far from Liu Wanggu. They had already lost all signs of life.

“It’s you!”

Liu Wanggu’s face was filled with a cruel smile. He remembered Chen Fei and didn’t expect to encounter him again today. Killing him now would be perfect!

“Will the battle fluctuations be concealed?” Chen Fei observed the surrounding formation and realized that it only had a concealing effect.

“You’re dead, and no one will know. No one can save you!” Liu Wanggu’s eyes gleamed with a grayish-white hue, his mouth almost stretching to his ears in a sinister grin..
