253. Tidal Waves
"Behold, Five Light True Person and Clear Light True Person, that is Fairy Mist Island."
A Foundation Establishnt True Person of the sea raiders stood respectfully beside the two. His deanor showed utmost reverence.
"Useless! Can't even handle a re Fairy Mist Island. We have to intervene personally."
Five Light True Person's gaze was icy. Even facing such a rebuke, the Foundation Establishnt True Person from the sea raiders did not dare retort. He rely lowered his head in silence.
"Enough, Senior Brother," said Clear Light True Person with a calm expression, a smile playing on his lips. "These are re loose cultivators. Fairy Mist Island has stood for such a long ti. How could they possibly defeat it?"
"Isn't Fairy Mist Island also made up of loose cultivators?" Five Light True Person retorted. "The island is closest to the Ancient Origin Sect. Yet, it's dominated by Qi Cultivators of the Immortal Dao. The Ancient Origin Sect is truly pathetic. What does the sect fear? rely the Ancient Origin Sect. If they dare interfere, we'll annihilate them."
Five Light True Person seed to disregard the Ancient Origin Sect entirely.
"Senior Brother, our sect surely has its reasons," Clear Light True Person reasoned. "Perhaps the Ancient Origin Sect alone isn't significant, but together with Profound Light Cave Heaven and Red Hades Mansion, they are unified. While these three powers might squabble occasionally, they stand united against external threats. Engaging them would indeed be troubleso. Besides, we're here on our sect's command, to establish a foothold. Our ultimate goal is to probe the immortal mansion beneath these seas. While we're now fairly certain an immortal mansion exists here, wouldn't it be better to secure Fairy Mist Island without alarming the Ancient Origin Sect, Profound Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion?"
Five Light True Person remained silent, but it was rely lip service. If he truly believed the Ancient Origin Sect, Profound Light Cave Heaven, and Red Hades Mansion were easily vanquished, he'd be sorely mistaken. If they were truly so weak, the sect wouldn't strategize so ticulously, even refraining from sending Golden Core True Persons, instead sending only Foundation Establishnt ones. Clearly, there was a certain wariness towards these three major powers.
"No matter the stance of these three major powers, today, this Fairy Mist Island shall fall!"
With a wave of Five Light True Person's hand, massive waves rose mightily. A resounding "BOOM" echoed. Endless waves churned and swelled, forming a colossal tidal wave, vast and overpowering, heading straight for Fairy Mist Island.
With such a formidable tidal wave, even the defenses of Fairy Mist Island might falter before it. The spell Five Light True Person casually conjured was truly astounding. Compared to an ordinary Foundation Establishnt True Person, he was in a league of his own!
At that mont, on Fairy Mist Island, Lin Fei, True Person Lu Zhen, True Person Zhao, and other Foundation Establishnt cultivators had gathered by the sea.
"What is that..."
Suddenly, their expressions shifted.
A tidal wave! Such an enormous wave was practically unheard of. The overwhelming tidal wave surged relentlessly toward Fairy Mist Island.
"Soone has conjured this tidal wave using a spell," True Person Lu Zhen remarked gravely. "I'm afraid the island's defenses won't hold."
To summon such a tidal wave was no ordinary feat, and surely not by an ordinary Foundation Establishnt True Person.
True Person Zhao, decisive as ever, bellowed, "All Foundation Establishnt cultivators, prepare defenses imdiately! We must withstand this tidal wave!"
Foundation Establishnt True Persons rapidly deployed various spells and treasures, rushing out beyond the main formation, attempting to hold back the monuntal wave.
Another resounding "BOOM". The tidal wave was upon them in a flash. It crashed down instantaneously. The multitude of spells and treasures conjured by the Foundation Establishnt True Persons now seed so feeble in the face of the imnse tidal wave. With one sweep of the wave, they were shattered completely. With just that one strike, many Foundation Establishnt True Persons were wounded.
As the tidal wave was about to strike the defensive formation, True Person Lu Zhen coldly snorted, "Heavenly Net, deploy!"
With a flick of his wrist, a net-shaped treasure shot into the air. In the blink of an eye, it expanded boundlessly, positioning itself right before the approaching tidal wave.
With a thunderous "BANG," the tidal wave bore down, crashing hard against the treasure. True Person Lu Zhen, rightfully listed on the Hades List as a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, had indeed displayed a powerful treasure. Its luminescent glow only flickered slightly, yet it held firm, stopping the tidal wave in its tracks.
"Uh? A unique treasure indeed. But can it withstand my Infinite Pearl?"
Behind the waves, hovering above Five Light True Person's head was a blue pearl. It was this pearl that triggered the imnse tidal wave. Without this pearl, even with Five Light's prowess, conjuring such a formidable spell would have been impossible.
The Infinite Pearl above Five Light True Person's head glead in blue once more. Imdiately, from the deep sea, another tidal wave erged, vast and mighty, rolling towards Fairy Mist Island once again.
"Another wave?" True Person Lu Zhen's expression subtly shifted. Monts later, the tidal wave ferociously crashed against his treasure. Instantaneously, Lu Zhen trembled, his Magic Body fervently absorbing the ambient Spiritual Qi from the surroundings, converting it into magical power. The Heavenly Net held on, its luminosity rely flickering.
"He held it back! True to his reputation from the Hades List."
"Inviting True Person Lu Zhen was truly a wise decision by the Zhao family,"
Relief washed over the crowd as they witnessed Lu Zhen thwarting the second wave. However, as they lifted their gazes, hope quickly drained from their faces. On the vast horizon, they beheld not just one, but multiple tidal waves - two, three, four, five, and even more, crashing towards them. Just how many more waves were there?
No one had any idea about the identities of these attackers. They hadn't even clearly discerned who the enemy was. None of the Foundation Establishnt True Persons who cast spells were visible. As a result, the entirety of Fairy Mist Island plunged into crisis.
Even though True Person Lu Zhen managed to withstand the first two tidal waves, he couldn't help but feel so pride. After all, being ranked thirty-eighth on the Hades Lists as an elite True Person was not an empty title. But what followed was an endless onslaught of waves, seemingly infinite in number.
In a contest between Foundation Establishnt cultivators, it was a battle of spells. And in this duel, it was clear that Lu Zhen was on the losing end. Not only he but all of Fairy Mist Island's Foundation Establishnt True Persons were defeated. And their defeat was absolute.
"Who is behind this?" Lu Zhen wondered, his face ashen. "Such a terrifying spell or magic treasure could probably even challenge those in the top ten of the Hades Lists."
His eyes darted to Lin Fei, known for his unparalleled martial prowess. However, Lin Fei's strength lay in close combat. Without seeing the figure of their adversaries, how could they engage in lee?
"Elder Lin, perhaps we should retreat," Lu Zhen said solemnly. "We must avoid this head-on. Even if Fairy Mist Island is flooded, it won't endanger us, the Foundation Establishnt True Persons and Martial Saints."
The faces of the island's residents, both Qi cultivators and martial artists, paled. If they retreated, the island would surely be subrged. While the strongest among them might survive, the majority would perish. Even if the islanders ultimately triumphed, the damage would be irreversible.
But as the five tidal waves roared toward them, about to crash upon the island's protective array, Lin Fei finally spoke, "Retreat? Why should we retreat? I shall slash these tidal waves!"
With a "whoosh", a strand of saber essence shot out from Lin Fei. This terrifying force exploded outwards, and for a mont, it seed like the whole void was dominated by a single gigantic blade. A blade that spanned thousands of ters, ready to cleave the very heavens and earth, standing defiantly against the oncoming tidal waves.
