77: Fifth-tier monsters are attacking!

"Brother Chen, how about I handle this Middle Stage Fifth-Grade one?"

Above the sea surface, a Cultivator in green robes with billowing sleeves said calmly.

"Haha, a Middle Stage Fifth-Grade is just right for practice. Brother Lin, let me handle it!"

On the other side, a burly Cultivator clad in battle armor laughed heartily, and without waiting for a reply, he shot off like lightning.

The Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Lin shook his head helplessly, formed hand seals, and the phantom of his Dharma Aspect behind him did the same.

Blue light flickered above his head, and a ruler-shaped Magic Treasure manifested a phantom that covered the sky, crashing down toward the Early Stage Fifth-Grade Deep Sea Black Scale Shark.

Endless rustling sounds rang out again. The Early Stage Fifth-Grade Deep Sea Black Scale Shark opened its blood-stained maw, and immense water Spiritual Qi gathered around it.

The next moment, sharks formed from water Spiritual Qi rushed madly toward the opponent.

"Boom!"

The phantom of the ruler-shaped Magic Treasure collided with the countless water-element sharks, emitting a heaven-shaking roar.

On the other side, the Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Chen clenched his fists, and a pair of ancient gauntlets emitted waves of treasure light, sending a massive fist shadow slamming toward the Middle Stage Fifth-Grade Deep Sea Black Scale Shark.

A water ball containing terrifying power emerged above the head of the frenzied shark and shot straight toward the Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Chen.

The moment the fist shadow and the water thunder collided, they exploded with a bang.

Trails of blue electric arcs spread in all directions.

"Good fellow! To think it knows a Water Thunder Secret Spell!"

A hearty laugh rang out from the sky-filling water vapor flickering with electric arcs.

A figure shot downward like lightning, his fist slamming directly onto the water-blue shield deployed by the Deep Sea Black Scale Shark.

The halo of the magical power explosion spread outward. The Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Chen, his body flickering with electricity, still grinned and laughed.

"The Physical Body of a Body Refining Cultivator is truly formidable!"

The Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Lin, while fighting the shark school led by the Early Stage Deep Sea Black Scale Shark, glanced at the battle on the other side and couldn't help but smile slightly, "I'm afraid he is using this Deep Sea Black Scale Shark's Water Thunder Secret Spell to perform Body Tempering on his Physical Body."

The ruler-shaped Magic Treasure in the sky bloomed with blue light, and countless smaller Profound Ice Rulers shot down.

They enveloped over a dozen Deep Sea Black Scale Sharks of varying grades.

The battlefield fell into a stalemate for a time, but the two Soul Transformation Cultivators, Chen and Lin, did not mind at all.

The Soul Transformation Cultivator surnamed Lin even took the time to send a Divine Thought to the jingtun vessel.

The purpose of the battle was not to kill the opponent, but simply to create an opportunity for the jingtun vessel to escape.

Otherwise, how could a battle at the Soul Transformation Stage end so quickly?

The next moment, the tail fin of the jingtun vessel whipped through the air, and a loud explosion suddenly erupted in the Void Realm.

A circular opening appeared at the base of the whale's tail, and violent Spiritual Qi spewed out from the opening, driving the jingtun vessel to fly rapidly into the distance.

In the blink of an eye, it had escaped more than a dozen miles away.

"Brother Chen, that's enough."

After the jingtun vessel had flown several hundred miles, the Cultivator surnamed Lin transmitted his voice to the Cultivator surnamed Chen.

"Alright, I'll cover the rear!"

The Cultivator surnamed Chen laughed and soared into the air, "Four Symbols Fist!"

A Divine Soul phantom with four arms emerged behind him, its four hands either forming claws or pressing palms...

The surrounding Spiritual Qi poured madly into the phantom, and then they all slammed downward together.

The range of the Move covered the entire shark school led by the Early Stage Deep Sea Black Scale Shark.

The Cultivator surnamed Lin didn't even look, turning with his hands behind his back and flying toward the distant jingtun vessel.

The shark school gathered together, and immense water Spiritual Qi converged around the Middle Stage Deep Sea Black Scale Shark.

A large net of water thunder rapidly condensed, covering the Four Symbols Fist that was crashing down.

"Boom!"

The water thunder net exploded with a bang, and boundless water vapor rapidly shrouded the area within a hundred miles.

Trails of electric arcs danced and flickered within it.

Even the Cultivator surnamed Lin, who wanted to retreat, had his vision obscured by the water mist.

"Stubborn and unyielding, do you really think we can't kill you?"

The Cultivator surnamed Lin frowned and looked back at the shark school swimming ceaselessly behind him.

"Brother Lin, go on ahead, I'll be there after I play around a bit."

In the water mist, the Cultivator surnamed Chen laughed heartily, completely ignoring the water thunder electric arcs ravaging his body, and maneuvered the Divine Soul phantom to merge into his body, diving down once again.

For a Body Refining Cultivator, drawing heavenly thunder for Body Tempering is a common occurrence, so why would he care about this kind of water thunder?

"Alright."

The Cultivator surnamed Lin turned to leave, but his expression suddenly changed, "Not good!"

Amidst the permeating water mist, two immensely powerful and chilling Yao energy forces suddenly surged.

Two more Fifth-Grade Yao Beasts!

Before he could make a Move, the communication jade slip in the storage ring on his finger began to jump frantically.

"Two Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whales are attacking, please return to reinforce immediately, two Guest Elders!"

The Cultivator surnamed Lin put away the communication jade slip, looked at the two Extreme Abyss Ice Soul Dragons appearing dozens of miles away, and took a deep breath, "Brother Chen, whether you and I can continue to drink and chat depends on this day!"

...

Hundreds of miles away, the Spiritual Qi at the tail of the jingtun vessel gradually weakened, and its speed slowed down accordingly.

Su Ling looked through the rear porthole at the endless mist in the distance, feeling somewhat stirred.

This was his first time seeing a Soul Transformation Stage battle; although it was just a fleeting glimpse, it was still breathtaking.

Inside the hull of the sea ship, many passengers who were riding the jingtun vessel for the first time cheered endlessly.

However, many passengers who had ridden it multiple times continued to drink wine and taste tea with calm expressions.

It seemed that Fifth-Grade Yao Beast attacks were already commonplace for them.

"Let me go see if there are any suitable Medicinal Pills or Spiritual Plants!"

Relaxing, Su Ling remembered the purpose of coming out of his room.

These days, whenever he had free time, he would go to the small marketplace to stroll around, hoping to find some useful things.

But he had only walked a few yards after turning around when, accompanied by a roar, the jingtun vessel actually began to shake violently.

"Ang!"

High-pitched and sorrowful whale cries spread throughout the Void Realm.

Su Ling, steadying his figure, looked out the porthole in horror.

He saw a Void Abyss Ink Whale, identical to the jingtun vessel, leaping out of the sea dozens of miles away.

Its massive body crashed down heavily again, directly stirring up a tsunami hundreds of feet high!

"Formation, activate!"

The Divine Soul voice of a Nascent Soul Cultivator spread throughout the entire jingtun vessel sea ship.

The Cultivators belonging to the sea ship chamber of commerce, occupying various formation eye locations, surged their magical power and poured it madly into the formation eyes.

As the ship-protecting great formation started, the entire jingtun vessel was enveloped by a golden light film.

The tsunami whipped up by the Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whale surged past beneath the hull.

The surging water vapor it caused turned into massive water thunder orbs, all slamming toward the jingtun vessel, which had slowed down.

The blue light generated by the explosions flashed incessantly, causing the golden light film to flicker unsteadily.

At the bow of the ship, three Nascent Soul Cultivators looked ashen, frantically driving the formation to defend.

Behind them, a dozen Core Formation deacons held Storage Pouches, and crystal-clear Spirit Stones turned into a torrent, pouring into the energy core at the center of the formation.

A shrunken version of a Void Abyss Ink Whale Divine Soul tossed and turned at the core.

It seemed to be responding to the whale cries of the two Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whales outside.

"Two Fifth-Grade Yao Beasts!"

"Manager Wu, have the two Guest Elders replied?"

The Nascent Soul Cultivators on the left and right sides asked, sweating profusely while forming hand seals.

"They... cannot come..."

The Manager Wu in the middle transmitted his voice with a strained tone.

"What?!"

The two looked at him in disbelief.

Isn't it just two Fifth-Grade Deep Sea Black Scale Sharks?

It's normal if they can't kill them, but what does it mean that they can't come?!

"It's not just the Deep Sea Black Scale Sharks; just a moment ago, two Extreme Abyss Ice Soul Dragons appeared and surrounded them."

"This..."

"How is this possible?!"

Four Fifth-Grade Yao Beasts trapping two Soul Transformation Guest Elders.

They themselves are facing two Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whales.

Even though the jingtun vessel is a high-grade magic treasure with extremely powerful formation patterns inscribed inside.

It still can't withstand the frenzied attacks of two Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whales!

Once the great formation is broken, they will be directly exposed to the innate Spell of the Fifth-Grade Void Abyss Ink Whales.

What does it matter if one is at the Nascent Soul Stage? They are nothing but ants!
