229: Huge crisis

There are currently three passages left, but there are still nine financial groups.

Therefore, the allocation of each subsequent passage is particularly crucial; one misstep could lead to total collapse.

This puts Qian Hao's capabilities to the test, as this so-called "collapse" involves losses measured in the hundreds of millions of zhen crystal.

Tianbang Financial Group and Dihui Financial Group were originally one family, two biological brothers, considered a dual pride of one lineage, controlling almost the entire Blue Star's sea trade.

The assets of these two great families are each around 350 million zhen crystal, a level that is better than average but not top-tier.

And Qian Hao's meeting this time directly set his sights on these two brothers.

It is more than enough for the two brothers to take down one passage, but the problem is how to make these two brothers hand over their remaining zhen crystal to the few weaker financial groups; this is a problem.

To this end, Qian Hao, this black-hearted fellow, while meeting with these two brothers, also arranged to meet with three relatively more resourceful financial groups among the remaining seven.

The two passages were priced at 600 million each, and Qian Hao had already informed these five families of the allocation.

In an instant, without even needing Qian Hao to speak, the remaining three families, who were just short by one or two hundred million zhen crystal to buy a passage, immediately began trading with the two brothers.

As for the two brothers, they would not miss such a great opportunity; the surplus 100 million zhen crystal alone exchanged for resources equivalent to over 1 billion zhen crystal.

Another 1.2 billion zhen crystal were sent to the Inner Island, and Qian Hao struck while the iron was hot, directly arranging to meet with the last four families all at once.

However, just as the four families were hesitating upon realizing they had no competitors left, several terrifying auras appeared in the sea area hundreds of thousands of miles outside the Ge Xing Islands.

Leading them was none other than the Kui Bull Divine Beast, Tian Kui, who had been missing for a long time.

Beside him, Xie Sha had also broken through to the sixteenth rank.

It seemed that because Xie Sha had told Tian Kui everything about his experiences at the North Sea Royal, the latter had abandoned his path of absorbing zhen crystal and directly chose to devour Fierce Beasts. His current strength had already reached the late sixteenth rank, infinitely close to the peak.

And Xie Sha, like Tian Kui, after devouring countless Fierce Beasts, had also reached the late sixteenth rank, infinitely close to the peak.

Led by these two top-tier Divine Beasts of the Blue Star, there were actually four other Sea Divine Beasts behind them who had also advanced to the sixteenth rank, and two Humans at the late sixteenth rank.

These Divine Beasts were all from the most powerful forces in the West Sea Area and the South Sea Area.

As for those two Humans, they were the owners of the more than 200 million zhen crystal from Iron Pagoda Country back then.

These beings could be said to be all the sixteenth-rank powerhouses on Blue Star, yet today they were all gathered together, seemingly intent on completely annihilating the Ge Xing Islands.

The aura, which had almost reached the peak of the sixteenth rank, rapidly approached the Ge Xing Islands without reservation. Immediately, all living beings on the Ge Xing Islands sensed this and turned to look towards the Endless Sea.

On the mountaintop at the core, sensing the rapid approach of eight top-tier sixteenth-rank beings from Blue Star towards the Ge Xing Islands, Qingyang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "Is this the world against us?"

As he spoke, Qingyang's entire body, scale by scale, began to rustle, preparing for battle.

Xuan Ming was already in deep sleep, so he was unaware of this aura.

On the South Island, Little Luan stopped devouring zhen crystal. Her peak fifteenth-rank Divine Beast aura wildly permeated the air, and her sharp phoenix eyes looked towards the Endless Sea.

On the East Inner Island, Golden Pixiu also sensed this aura and immediately extended his perception to Qingyang, saying, "Old... Yang Dragon King, do you need help?"

However, just before Qingyang could answer, a domineering voice that resounded through the heavens and earth suddenly spread throughout the entire Ge Xing Islands.

"You all continue. Keep playing the music and dancing. Leave it to me."

The moment the voice sounded, a White Tiger with a body length of a thousand meters, flickering with thunderous hurricanes around its body, and with eyes bursting forth with azure blue lightning power, instantly shot towards the Endless Sea.

With his own strength, he would fight eight opponents of the same rank alone.

Qingyang was unsure of Ba Qing's combat power, so even though Ba Qing had told everyone that he could handle it, Qingyang still extended his perception to the location of Ba Qing in the Endless Sea.

Not just Qingyang, but all living beings on the entire Ge Xing Islands, including the forces who already knew that the Ge Xing Islands would be "annihilated" today, had almost all locked their gaze onto the sea area where Ba Qing was located.

It seemed that at this moment, the eyes of the entire world were focused together.

Ba Qing, a Super Divine Beast, with the White Tiger bloodline, primarily governs killing and slaughter.

So when Ba Qing flew to the side of those eight super powerhouses, he did not hesitate at all and immediately attacked them.

The thousand-meter White Tiger body, every root of lightning, permeated his entire body with each of Ba Qing's strikes, as if enchanted.

Logically speaking, having been able to advance to the sixteenth rank, everyone's talent is already quite similar. How much weaker could one be compared to another?

But from the moment Ba Qing began his slaughter, with just one exchange, the two Humans who had already broken through to the late sixteenth rank were actually forcefully killed by Ba Qing in just a few dozen rounds.

As the two Humans emanating world-destroying auras were swatted towards the Ge Xing Islands by Ba Qing's claw, the great battle continued in Ba Qing's location.

Tens of thousands of meters of deep sea were churned up by the numerous Divine Beasts until the seabed was exposed, truly describable as world-destroying, like the reappearance of mythology from ancient times.

The tens of thousands of meters high giant waves made the hair of the various forces stand on end, and at the same time, Qingyang finally understood why one must go to the Inner Realm upon reaching the peak of the sixteenth rank, and why even a Super Divine Beast's "initial" form can only act three times.

The destruction to the Blue Star Surface is too great.

This kind of destruction is different from the so-called nuclear weapons created by Humans; those mainly cause pollution, but this kind of destruction is damage to the entire Blue Star.

Fortunately, this is in the sea area. If it were on land, any country might be directly submerged or shattered after such a battle.

"Roar~"

Ba Qing, fighting six opponents alone, seemed to be getting annoyed by the entanglement of the six great Divine Beasts. With a furious roar, his entire body began to emit sounds of bone restructuring that made one's scalp tingle.

"Super Divine Beast, Second Form, controlling the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation, deterring and annihilating Yuan Spirit, Jiang Liang manifest!"

The moment the extremely violent voice sounded, Ba Qing's thousand-meter White Tiger body rapidly transformed, directly turning into a terrifying killing being with a White Tiger body, a tiger head, but the upper body of a Human.

At this moment, in the fists of that half-human, half-tiger body, thick bolts of lightning, like divine whips, instantly lashed out. The next second, Xie Sha, a Divine Beast who had already broken through to the late sixteenth rank, infinitely close to the peak, had its entire body instantly torn apart.

Not only that, but its spirit was also instantly annihilated at this moment, meaning Xie Sha no longer had a chance to go to the Inner Realm, considered truly and completely dead in every sense.
