81: Retreat, the sea turtle

Suddenly, the Man in the Confucian Robe's expression turned grave. With a flick of his tail, he swept up the clansmen who had approached earlier and flew thousands of feet away.

A giant sword, a hundred zhang in size, had appeared at their previous location at some unknown moment.

The sword's formidable Sword Qi was bone-chillingly sharp, and its purple lightning radiance brimmed with destructive power.

If struck head-on, they would be dead or crippled.

"Fellow Daoist, if you have no other means, then entrust your life to me!"

Su Yu slowly rose from the water, a flicker of anger flashing in his eyes.

He manipulated the giant sword transformed from his Xuan Xiao Sword, fully activating the Profound Thunder Slaying Firmament Sword Art.

A terrifying Sword Intent surged from Su Yu's body.

"Not good! He's going all out! Stop him, quickly!"

Seeing this, the Man in the Confucian Robe grew anxious, letting out a loud roar before charging straight towards Su Yu.

He unleashed all his treasures, aiming to suppress Su Yu.

Seeing this, the other Suanni Great Demons also began to fight desperately. They each spat out their Lifebound Demon Pearls, and vast, mountain-like waves of Demonic Power surged towards Su Yu.

Su Yu merely sneered coldly, his body erupting with an invincible Aura. He drew a circle with his hands, then abruptly spread them open!

The giant sword trembled slightly, instantly splitting into two, then continued to divide until, in an instant, it had transformed into hundreds.

Hundreds of hundred-zhang sky-supporting giant swords, under Su Yu's control, slashed down towards the horde of demons.

A dense barrage of massive sword shadows descended.

Their intent was clear: to hack these Yao Beasts to pieces!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, the Man in the Confucian Robe began to consider retreat.

The strength of the man before him was so Heaven-Defying, it was the most terrifying he had ever witnessed in his life! Even more fearsome than the Myriad Transformation Profound Lord who once roamed the Outer Sea!

However, retreat was not an option for him now.

Facing hundreds of sky-supporting giant swords, the Man in the Confucian Robe could only use his numerous treasures to protect himself.

His Lifebound Demon Pearl blocked in front, the Square Seal transformed from his Dragon Horn hovered above his head, and his body emitted a brilliant golden light, forming a golden curtain that kept the giant swords at bay.

The other Suanni Great Demons directly hid behind the Man in the Confucian Robe.

With the Man in the Confucian Robe blocking the front, they also bit their tongues, spurting a mouthful of essence blood that merged into their Lifebound Demon Pearls, boosting the pearls' power by another level.

Innumerable streams of Demonic Power transformed into brown ribbons, clashing against the sky-supporting giant swords.

The eight Great Demons were already fighting desperately. The attacks of both sides were deadlocked in the air; now it was a contest of whose mana reserves were deeper!

Su Yu coldly watched these Suanni Great Demons. Suddenly, he retracted his Xuan Xiao Sword. In the next instant, a silver Talisman appeared in his hand.

He tore the silver Talisman open. A silver light enveloped him. Before the Great Demons could react, Su Yu's figure was already ten thousand miles away.

"It's a great teleportation talisman!"

Without Su Yu infusing mana, the giant swords were easily torn apart by the several Great Demons.

Looking at the spot where Su Yu had disappeared, their expressions turned extremely ugly.

They knew full well this was deep within Yao Race territory. The commotion from their battle had long since alerted many powerful Yao Race beings.

If they had held out a little longer, until reinforcements arrived, they could have completely captured this person.

Who would have thought this person actually possessed an extremely rare great teleportation talisman?

Now that he had escaped, trying to find him again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

"What do we do? This person's Divine Abilities are so formidable, he could likely protect himself even before a Spirit Transformation Ancestor. If he harbors a grudge and seeks revenge, I fear our Suanni Clan will never know peace!"

One Suanni Great Demon asked the Man in the Confucian Robe with deep concern.

Since they had thoroughly offended this person, the only way to end the threat was to kill him.

Or, they shouldn't have offended him in the first place!

"How should I know what to do? Even joining forces, we couldn't subdue him. You, Long Hao, were almost killed!

This matter can only be left for the Old Ancestor to handle. But the sea is vast, where could the Old Ancestor even look for him?

Once he returns to the Human Race heartland of the Seven Luan Sea, would we have to charge over there to find him?"

The Man in the Confucian Robe was also furious. If he had known this would be the outcome, he would have rather disobeyed orders than come.

Such a terrifying existence, once he steps into Soul Transformation, could likely slaughter all the Yao Race in their Seven Luan Sea.

Moreover, being targeted by such an existence meant they probably could never leave Yao Race territory alone again.

Otherwise, encountering him would only have one outcome: death!

"Then..." Hearing this, Long Hao also wore a bitter expression.

"Let's return first and report the situation to the Old Ancestor. As for the future... just don't venture out. With our Suanni Yao Race Lifespan, outlasting a single Nascent Soul Cultivator is easy.

Even if he reaches Soul Transformation, I don't believe he would truly stoop to bullying the weak. At that time, we can just compensate him with the clan's treasures!"

The Man in the Confucian Robe sighed, somewhat headache-ridden.

Provoking this kind of person likely meant this would be difficult to resolve amicably.

Moreover, he had made up his mind: upon returning, he would enter closed-door cultivation to attempt a Breakthrough to Soul Transformation.

As for everything else, what did it have to do with him? Even if this Demon Tribulation truly descended, unless disaster struck him personally, he absolutely would not emerge!

As for Su Yu, after being teleported ten thousand miles away by the great teleportation talisman, his expression was extremely gloomy.

He originally thought this demon-hunting trip would be a quick in-and-out affair. He never expected to encounter this mess.

These Yao Race beings truly went for the kill. That Man in the Confucian Robe, with his Lifebound Demon Pearl transforming into a mountain-like strike, even shattered the azure dragon banner protecting him.

Su Yu took out the azure dragon banner. Seeing the small banner tattered and torn, he felt a pang of heartache.

Even if this banner could be repaired, its power would never be the same. He might as well leave it for his external incarnation.

As for the Suanni Yao Race, he remembered them. Once he reached Soul Transformation, it wouldn't be too late for revenge.

Su Yu looked around at the empty expanse of sea; there wasn't a single island in sight.

He extended his Divine Thought in a straight line for several thousand miles. Discovering an island shrouded in thick fog, he flew towards it rapidly.

After a major battle, he also needed to enter seclusion to recuperate his mana.

When Su Yu arrived, however, he found the island was moving rapidly.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel surprised at the sight.

A moving island was truly rare.

However, although the island's movement speed was fast, it was only comparable to that of a Core Formation Cultivator.

Su Yu merely flashed once and arrived upon the island.

Stepping onto the island's ground, Su Yu suddenly felt the texture was off; it was somewhat hard and rigid.

After all, the soil around an island's shore, soaked by seawater, is usually damp and soft underfoot.

But this place... Su Yu's Face showed suspicion as he pondered for a moment.

He immediately summoned his Xuan Xiao Sword and slashed it down onto the ground.

The next moment, a huge roar of pain echoed, and the entire island shook.

"This is!"

Suddenly, Su Yu realized something. This island was actually a Yao Beast.

And judging by its size, it was clearly a rare species among Ancient Primordial Spirit Beasts, known as the Vast Sea Turtle!

This turtle's Lifespan was nearly limitless, and it could grow by devouring seawater.

As long as it kept devouring seawater, its size would increase indefinitely.

The island before him was a full hundred li in size. Who knew how long this turtle had lived!

However, although this turtle's Lifespan was astonishing, its cultivation level was disappointingly low, only around the Late Core Formation Stage.
