Chapter 118 Breaking Through to the East
Song Chen stayed where he was.
The giant whale recovered from the suppression of the blade light.
It raised its head, its golden vertical pupils looking at the human in mid-air, who was thousands of times smaller than it.
Its mouth was not open, but sounds came from its throat, speaking human language.
A hoarse, deep voice, as if it came from the depths of the sea.
"Old Zhou, you can't stop me."
They acted as if they had known each other for a long time.
Zhou Wangyue stood in mid-air, his sword held horizontally in front of him, looking into the eyes of the giant whale.
"Jing Yi, you're a sixth-tier beast king, how dare you attack a junior? Have you no shame?"
"Have you forgotten our agreement? Aren't you afraid that I'll also make a trip to your Giant Whale Domain?"
The whale's voice rang out again, slower and deeper than before.
"That junior's talent surpasses that of any genius among your human race. If we don't kill him today, he will kill even more of our race tomorrow. If we kill him today, we will save 100,000 of our race from dying tomorrow."
"As for the Giant Whale Domain, you old ghost, come and go as you please. My clan is waiting for you."
Zhou Wangyue frowned. He hadn't expected that the giant whale had come to Yunbo Island not to destroy the base or the research institute on the island, but for Song Chen.
A sixth-tier beast king crossed thousands of miles of sea, risking being surrounded and killed by other sixth-tier humans, to personally kill a third-tier youth.
"Very well, I will certainly pay a visit." Zhou Wangyue's voice was cold.
This time, the whale did not answer.
Its body began to rise from below the sea surface—not its head, but its entire body.
Its body is ten times larger than its head; it is black, streamlined, and resembles an inverted mountain.
Its dorsal fin, like a giant black scythe, slices through the sea, splitting the water to both sides and creating giant waves hundreds of meters high.
Its tail hasn't even surfaced yet, but the part that's already above water is larger than the rest of Yunbo Island.
At this moment, Zhou Wangyue moved. His figure disappeared in mid-air, so fast that Song Chen's eyes could not catch it.
He appeared above the giant whale's head and slashed down with the Dark Night Blade.
The blade was black, the same black as the skin of a giant whale.
The blade sliced into the giant whale's scalp, penetrating several meters deep.
This kind of damage would be severe enough to kill other beasts, but it's far from enough to kill the Giant Whale Beast King.
A trickle of blood gushed from the wound of the giant whale beast king; it was a golden blood, like molten gold.
Blood dripped into the sea, causing the seawater to boil, steam to billow, and large patches of white mist to appear on the surface.
The whale was in pain, and with a sudden jerk of its body, its tail emerged from beneath the surface of the sea.
The tail was longer than Yunbo Island. When the tail lashed the sea, it created a giant wave hundreds of meters high. The wave spread outwards, surging towards Yunbo Island and towards Song Chen.
Song Chen turned and ran. His master-level Gale Wings allowed him to glide across the sea, each step landing on the crest of a wave, each movement feeling as if he were being blown by the wind.
He ran out of the range of the giant waves, to the other side of Yunbo Island, to the opposite side of the reef area he had visited on the first day, which no longer existed.
Zhou Wangyue's voice came through.
"Run! This beast is just as strong as me. If we start fighting, I won't be able to take care of you."
"I notified the Tianhai City Council before I came, and reinforcements will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Song Chen flew towards Tianhai City without hesitation.
Then he saw the direction of Tianhai City, and the sea was full of sea beasts, numbering in the tens of thousands.
They floated on the sea, densely packed, stretching from Yunbo Island to the horizon, completely blocking the entire sea area.
They neither attacked, nor retreated, nor moved; they simply stayed there, seemingly waiting for Song Chen to walk right into their trap.
The situation in the air wasn't much better; it was still filled with dense flocks of seabirds and some special sea creatures that could fly.
Song Chen floated on a reef that was about to be submerged by the sea, looking at the sea surface covered by sea monsters and the sky obscured by seabirds, and realized that this was a well-prepared trip.
He can't go back, at least not now.
On the other side, Zhou Wangyue had already started a great battle with the Giant Whale Beast King, a battle that was capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
Yunbo Island is on the verge of disintegration in their battle.
More importantly, Song Chen also felt that the giant whale beast king's eyes were constantly staring at him.
At the same time, the horde of sea monsters blocking his way moved.
It swept towards him, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun.
Song Chen clenched his fists; he knew he had to make a choice.
He turned his head and looked in another direction, into the depths of the sea.
There aren't many marine mammals there, and even fewer seabirds.
There lies an endless sea, and in its depths lurks even more dangerous and powerful beasts.
For humanity in this day and age, the deep sea is a death trap.
But Song Chen had no choice.
He took a deep breath, gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly, activated the Wings of Gale to their fullest extent, and poured all his blood, energy, and spiritual power into his legs.
Then it flew towards the depths of the sea, towards that abyss where there was no way back, no support, and no hope.
Behind him, Zhou Wangyue's voice came from afar, torn apart by the sea breeze and waves: "Go east. The sea monsters are weakest there, and there are many islands. After you break through, find an island to hide on, and I will come to find you."
Song Chen kept these words firmly in mind.
His body glided across the sea like a seabird skimming the surface.
Psionic particles swirled around him like countless tiny stars, illuminating his path.
Ahead lay the vast ocean, boundless and unfathomable, a sea that swallows everything.
Behind me was Yunbo Island—no, the ruins of Yunbo Island.
The island where he had stayed for five days was now disappearing bit by bit under the weight of the great war.
He heard the sound of rocks breaking, concrete shattering, steel twisting, and the soldiers' final cries.
The only good news is that the sea monsters are all heading towards him.
Those who survive on the island still have a chance to live.
Song Chen gritted his teeth, unsure how many of his recently met friends would survive.
He simply gripped the Heavenly Blade tighter and spun the Wings of Gale even faster.
Its body left a white trail on the sea surface, extending into the depths of the ocean, growing farther and thinner until it finally disappeared where the sky meets the sea.
A loud bang came from behind, in the direction of Yunbo Island.
After flying for a while, Song Chen stopped, not because he didn't want to fly, but because he couldn't fly anymore.
From the sky to the sea, there were countless sea creatures, their bodies forming a wall that made it impossible for them to fly.
The number of sea beasts is countless, and their strength varies drastically, ranging from the first to the fourth rank.
Song Chen glanced back at the giant whale beast king, who was currently locked in a fierce battle with Zhou Wangyue and couldn't spare a second glance.
That being the case...
He gripped the Heavenly Blade tightly, his killing intent almost solidifying into a tangible form.
If they can't defeat a sixth-tier beast king, how can they not defeat these mid- to low-tier sea beasts?
It's a good opportunity to test the Thunderous Annihilation Blade at the Grandmaster level on them.
kill!
