141: Chapter 140 Green Serpent, Beast Tide

Chapter 140: Green Snake, Beast Tide (It is the end of the month, begging for monthly votes and follow-up reads)

Huang Chao shattered the phantom of Fa Hai's golden alms bowl with a single hand, then casually split him apart with a sword, dispersing him into a stream of golden light.

Fa Hai's suicidal rush offensive seemed endless. Although it posed no threat to the gold-quality Huang Chao, he kept buzzing around endlessly like a fly, which was truly noisy. The most crucial part was that after this guy died, he just turned into a streak of golden light and dissipated, dropping zero materials.

This made Sun Po quite depressed. Killing a monster that revived infinitely without yielding any rewards was simply disgusting.

Another stream of golden light descended. Fa Hai's voice arrived before his person, and this time he started cursing before they even met.

"Ox demon!! Do not remain obstinately blind and stubborn any longer!!"

Fa Hai, who had just landed in the golden light and was about to attack, suddenly changed his expression, then turned into a wisp of golden light and flew back into the temple.

The golden light emitted by the temple on the opposite bank of the river instantly brightened by a fraction.

Liu Jianren asked curiously, "Brother Po, why did this old monk run away?"

Sun Po sneered inwardly. It seemed that all the oddities in this secret realm originated from that temple on the mountaintop on the opposite bank, and the mystery behind Fa Hai's infinite revival probably lay within that temple as well.

Sun Po strongly suspected that Fa Hai had been pestering him all this time to stall for time, and there were likely some extraordinary secrets within this temple.

But it didn't matter; didn't he also need time? Let's see if the trump card in your temple could match the world-destroying Heavenly Flood.

Instead of answering Liu Jianren directly, Sun Po said, "Why don't you take a look around?"

Liu Jianren was surprised to find that the floodwaters originally surging across the ground had gradually receded.

At this moment, the entire secret realm was full of muddy traces left by the flood. Even the wide Calamity Heavenly River had exposed its silt-filled riverbed, where trapped river fish and water crabs were everywhere. Within just over a dozen minutes, not only had the Calamity Heavenly River in Tianhe Budu dried up, but even the original large river in the Jinshan Temple secret realm had completely dried up.

But when he looked up, he was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of sight was this?

The originally dark-clouded sky was even darker now, impenetrably black and growing increasingly profound.

This blackness was not because the clouds were denser, but because the water and the sky had merged into one, sharing the exact same hue!!

All the water between heaven and earth covered the sky, as if firmly adsorbed onto it by the heavens.

The sky had turned into a black water surface, appearing deep and terrifying, with ripples faintly shimmering across it.

The waters of the two rivers hung entirely above the firmament. Standing beneath the secret realm and looking up at the sky was just like being at the bottom of a river, looking up at the pitch-black water surface.

Amidst the clouds covered by the black water all over the sky, a huge white ape loomed faintly.

"Rumble!!"

A sudden thunderclap exploded, and lightning tore through the darkness. Amidst the illumination, the specific appearance of the white ape could be seen.

Golden pupils, snowy fangs, a azure face with six ears, a circular halo composed of blue divine light behind its head, and flowing black streams of water ribbons by its sides.

Who else could it be if not Wuzhiqi?

It was just that Wuzhiqi's figure at this moment looked much taller than when he fought Demon Pill Nezha previously. Although it was hard to see clearly in the clouds, judging roughly from the dense armored soldiers beneath his feet, Wuzhiqi's figure was probably already over three hundred meters tall. Those armored soldiers were entirely condensed from black water, and quickly transformed into figures with white helmets and white armor—they were precisely the Tianhe Naval Forces!!

Black water blocked the sun, water and sky were like ink, deities descended to the mortal realm, and celestial troops came down to earth.

Jinshan Temple appeared even smaller at this moment. Even though its golden light grew increasingly bright, it still looked incomparably thin and fragile against this apocalyptic scene.

When Liu Jianren previously saw the massive flood triggered by Sun Po, he had already felt that he and Sun Po were no longer people of the same order of magnitude. Yet back then, Liu Jianren still regarded Sun Po as a miracle among commoners, simply feeling that achieving such strength was utterly unimaginable.

Seeing this apocalyptic scene akin to a change in the heavens, he asked in disbelief, "Brother Po, did you cause all of this?"

Sun Po stood up from the black water throne and looked towards the opposite bank, saying,

"Yeah, you said this secret realm was rather special, and I also felt that temple was fishy. So I gave it some thought: I wasn't confident in finding any snake demon, nor was I confident in finding the things you mentioned that attract the Red Flood Dragon, so I could only destroy this secret realm. As long as this secret realm is destroyed, whatever snake demon or mysterious things there are will all come out."

Liu Jianren almost suspected he had misheard, and asked, "Brother Po, are you saying we're destroying the secret realm?"

Sun Po replied in confusion, "Wasn't my explanation clear enough?"

Liu Jianren asked somewhat dumbfoundedly, "So, ever since you entered the secret realm, this was your plan all along?"

Sun Po nodded and said, "I should be making a move soon. This is also my first time doing this kind of work, so my hands might be a bit heavy when the time comes, and I won't be able to look after you. Take good care of yourself." Liu Jianren truly felt like he was dreaming at this moment.

He didn't hear a single word of what Sun Po said afterwards; he only heard four words:

Destroy the secret realm!!

What a niche phrase!

They were clearly all Chinese characters, so why did they feel so unfamiliar when put together?

If not for going to the Wujiang Secret Realm with Sun Po last time, Liu Jianren wouldn't even have known that secret realms could be destroyed. But back then, Yang Guang's terrifying divine power only destroyed a lowest-tier F-grade secret realm! What Sun Po was about to destroy right now, however, was an A-grade secret realm!! Both the quantity and quality of the monsters far surpassed those of the Wujiang Secret Realm.

This was truly a plan that made one's blood boil just hearing about it, but it was also an unbelievable plan.

Sun Po was still just a third-year high school commoner student! Many peers still held only a gray or white card from the Three Noble Families, praying during the Gaokao arena that they would encounter a weaker opponent so they could ultimately get into a decent junior college.

Yet Liu Jianren had previously made a heavy gamble, borrowing 50 million in external debt from Li Tiance to contract the exploration rights of this secret realm for a month.

Aside from pressure, he actually harbored a faint sense of pride within, feeling that this was already an extraordinary stroke for a high school student.

Yet just as he was secretly proud of such a big move, and just as he was worrying over gains and losses for this month's harvest, Sun Po straight up announced he was going to destroy the secret realm?

Relying solely on himself, he was just going to casually destroy an A-grade secret realm like that?

Furthermore, judging from the current apocalyptic scenery and the unfathomable strength displayed by Sun Po, it seemed he might actually be able to pull it off?

In other words, Sun Po might even bag everything in this secret realm, including the secret realm core, in a single exploration?

At the same time, Wuzhiqi was coldly gazing down at the glowing temple below.

As a calamity born from a flood disaster, it naturally understood how to maximize the eruption of a flood and how to acquire more calamity energy from disasters.

You must know that calamity energy was born in response to disasters; the heavier the calamity and tribulation, the more abundant the calamity energy.

Why was there so much calamity energy during the previous Yang Guang incident?

Because it ravaged four provinces and hundreds of millions of living beings, causing countless people to die because of it.

Such a calamity naturally generated incomparably ample calamity energy, as death was inherently the best nourishment for calamity energy.

What it was stirring up right now was all the calamity energy previously collected by the emperor yus ding and accumulated by Tianhe Budu.

After this battle, seven or eight out of ten parts of the calamity energy stored in Tianhe Budu would be depleted, and the external manifestation would be a drastic drop in the water level of the Calamity Heavenly River. To obtain such abundant calamity energy again, there must be a major disaster no less than the Yang Guang incident. Therefore, Wuzhiqi was trying his best to maximize this calamity that destroyed the secret realm. If possible, Wuzhiqi hoped to cleave even the insects in this secret realm vertically. He was waiting for the monsters in the secret realm; he needed a sufficient amount of deaths.

Although the Heavenly Flood had reached the minimum standard for release at this moment, it was still not enough; more calamity energy should be able to be squeezed out.

Moreover, Wuzhiqi sensed that besides the Buddhist aura emitted from the temple below, there was an additional unfamiliar power of the stars.

This aura was far more powerful and purer than the Seven Killings Star Power on Huang Chao, yet the aura was much more upright and peaceful. Wuzhiqi did not know what this aura was, but it didn't care. In front of such a world-destroying catastrophe, even if a deity with a higher star rating than him came, it would be of no avail.

Wuzhiqi now just wanted to squeeze more calamity energy out of this major disaster.

Suddenly, the mountain on the opposite bank of the river began to make rumbling noises, as if something huge was about to come down from the mountain.

Wuzhiqi's eyes lit up, and his heart felt somewhat excited.

It's coming!!!

Afterwards, smoke and dust rose everywhere in the forests on the mountain, and a dense flock of birds emerged in the sky.

Sun Po and Liu Jianren were also attracted by this loud noise, looking toward the smoke and dust gradually sweeping over from the mountain on the opposite bank of the river.

Only then did Sun Po see that this was a beast tide composed of countless monsters: tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves, black bears, elks, foxes, badgers, rats, and rabbits,

everything was present.

Most of them were not ordinary animals; there were stone bears with their bodies condensing earth-yellow light, giant azure wolves with wind at their four paws, and foxes whose fur looked like blazing fire.

However, the aura they emitted was not considered strong, but their numbers were extremely large, densely carpeting down from the mountaintop like a layer.

The flying birds in the sky also approached. Crows with blood-red eyes uttered ugly, ominous cries, and various birds that Sun Po had never seen before were mixed among them, as if all the monsters in the entire secret realm had rushed over.

Liu Jianren stood atop the Red Flood Dragon's head and shouted, "Brother Po! The monsters I slaughtered in the mountains last time were precisely these fiendish entities. The commotion this time is too big, forcing all the fiendish entities out of the mountains!!"

Yet Sun Po's heart began to grow excited. Since he dared to have the idea of directly destroying the secret realm, he naturally had prepared himself to fight all the monsters alone.

He had originally anticipated that this scene should have arrived much earlier, appearing even when Wuzhiqi first started guiding the calamity energy.

To Sun Po, his cards and his domain were extremely adept at such ultra-large-scale combat. A monster tide of not-so-strong entities didn't pose much of a threat to him; it could even be said to be his absolute favorite.

Because anyway, they couldn't withstand the Heavenly Flood; the more monsters died, the greater his harvest from this trip would be. Otherwise, if the materials after the monsters' deaths were swept into the spatial turbulence, that would also be no small loss. He didn't understand Wuzhiqi's so-called theory of calamity energy, but the commonality of being thrifty and managing the household diligently made his thoughts perfectly align with Wuzhiqi's.

As for these monsters, when he wasn't prepared earlier, Sun Po might have felt some trouble, but now that the Heavenly Flood was fully prepared, no matter how many of these monsters came, it would be of no avail.

This Heavenly Flood was originally the exclusive authority belonging to the master of the Tianhe Water Mansion. Back in the day, once the Tianhe Naval Forces went on an expedition, the Heavenly Flood would pour out from the sky, sweeping across the heavens and earth. Its inherent power was already immensely great, and moreover, the Tianhe Naval Forces were integrated with the Heavenly Flood, taking water as their bodies and water as their soldiers. The greater the number of the Tianhe Naval Forces, the greater the power of the Heavenly Flood.

As long as the waters of the heavenly river did not dry up, the Tianhe Naval Forces would not die. Unless one possessed the ability to burn mountains and boil oceans, even deities would be worn to death facing this Heavenly Flood.

Therefore, the Heavenly Flood could be said to be an absolute killer move for large-scale legion warfare. It possessed both explosive power worthy of celestial might and the sustained combat capability linked with the Tianhe Naval Forces, and even boasted an invincible recovery ability. Sun Po had never fully used this ultimate move of Tianhe Budu before precisely because it consumed too much calamity energy. But now that his family fortune was bountiful, and he was facing the rewards of a complete A-grade secret realm, Sun Po felt it was worth a try.

Sun Po casually analyzed a few monsters with his wrist-watch and found that not even one exceeded purple quality; they were simply laughably weak.

Huang Chao still casually disposed of the chattering, newly revived Fa Hai, then turned his head and asked, "My Lord, do you need me to make a move?"

Sun Po said, "No need. Judge Zhong, just guard the flanks on the side."

Regarding this secret realm destruction plan, Sun Po had rehearsed it in his mind.

Wuzhiqi's Heavenly Flood was equivalent to a strong attacker, responsible for disrupting the spatial stability of the secret realm with the most powerful force, but guiding the calamity energy required a certain amount of time.

Overlord Xiang Yu's domain-type Demon Gods Mighty Power was equivalent to a sharp knife and also the core of destroying the secret realm. His state was the top priority; even if Sun Po took action himself, he had to ensure Overlord Xiang Yu's optimal state.

Meanwhile, Huang Chao's task was to act as the guard for the three of them. Huang Chao's Yin God / Heavenly Star traits determined that he would definitely be in the optimal tank position within Sun Po's card lineup.

But this time, Huang Chao wouldn't be needed much. Mainly because the quality and quantity of the monsters in this Jinshan Temple secret realm were unimaginably low, and only when the calamity energy guided by Wuzhiqi became overly abundant did these monsters feel the danger of destruction and want to escape through the secret realm exit.

But by then, it was already too late.

Just as Sun Po and Wuzhiqi communicated and unanimously prepared to take action, suddenly, the peak on the opposite bank of the river trembled, and a huge green snake head burst out of the ground.

This green snake was emerald-green all over, and when coiled up, it was actually as large as that mountain peak. Jinshan Temple looked like a mere toy in front of the green snake's massive size.

The green snake let out a long hiss towards the sky, and actually spoke with human words:

"I don't care who is behind you, if you want to take my sister's life today!!

Step over my corpse first!!"
