The Black Striped Shark, seeing the overwhelming might emitted by Mang Biao, narrowed its pupils and, no longer daring to hold back its skill, hurriedly opened its mouth full of sharp fangs and swiftly spat out a giant water arrow.
Mang Biao remained unperturbed at the sight and, with a burst of yellow light from his huge axe, swung down in a chop, breaking the spell with brute force as the blade of the axe swiftly sliced through the water arrow.
With a 'bang', it struck straight onto the Black Striped Shark's teeth, which were as hard as vajra, sparking a burst of fire.
Seeing that a single axe blow made its teeth tremble, Mang Biao didn't pause for a mont. His left-hand shield rapidly morphed into a large hamr gleaming with spiritual light and fiercely crashed onto the Black Striped Shark's eyeball.
A pained whining sound erged as the Black Striped Shark was struck and fell downward.
"Hmph! In the water I fear you a little, but on land, you dare to be arrogant with , you're simply courting death!" Having gained the upper hand with two moves, Mang Biao let out a smug laugh.
But he did not dare to pursue his victory, for the infant carp beast with the head of a baby and the body of a carp, as large as a water buffalo, was watching him from below.
Besides, the three-headed snake beside it unleashed a fierce glow in its eyes, gazing upward with covetous intent, surrounded by a mist of water vapor, as if it could ascend on clouds at any mont.
In such a stance, Mang Biao's vigilance greatly increased.
The only one here capable of aerial combat was that three-headed snake, which could gather water to form clouds and fly in the air—this was its innate gift, and it was exactly what everyone was strictly defending against now.
As for the Black Striped Shark and the infant carp beast, they didn't possess such abilities, although one had sharp fangs and the other emitted an invincible roar, both were very powerful, but they could not fly up into the sky.
However, if they could beco Demon Kings, they would be able to break free from environntal constraints, transcend their own innate gifts, and transform into a mass of demonic energy, traveling through the sky and the earth, capable of going anywhere, which was very formidable.
But Demon Kings were extrely rare, similar to Nascent Soul True Monarchs among humans. In the entire Thousand-Islands Sea Area, there were only a few dozen, and they were rarely seen.
"These creatures, causing chaos every few years, have destroyed the palace I had just rebuilt not too long ago. Sooner or later, I will make them pay." Mang Biao, carrying his giant axe on his shoulder, said fiercely.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ji glanced below before shifting his gaze towards the sea surface, searching for the source of the demonic beasts' fear.
"Could it be that a hibernating Demon King has awakened and is seeking food?" he speculated as he watched the sea surface.
As his vision penetrated deeper into the seabed, information began to display: "Seawater", "Aquatic plants", "Corals", "Turbulence in the seawater", "The rock layers at the sea bottom are fracturing on a large scale", "The seabed is trembling", "A terrifying earthquake affecting nearly half of the Thousand-Islands Sea Area will erupt in thirty seconds."
"An earthquake?" Yang Ji was startled, a realization dawned on him, "No wonder those demonic beasts are desperately rushing to the islands, they have a fifty percent chance of survival this way. If they stay in the sea, combating the terrifying forces of nature, I estimate they'll be shaken to death alive!"
He initially thought it was a beast tide, but it turned out to be an earthquake.
Facing the great earthquake! Although he had stepped onto the path of cultivation, a sense of awe still rose in his heart.
Even though the earthquake had yet to erupt, his heart had already begun to shake, and his breathing involuntarily quickened.
There are countless natural disasters in the great sea, such as thunderstorms, earthquakes, storms, and so on, which are all common occurrences. He had had the fortune to witness the Extre Purple Heavenly Thunder before, but he hadn't expected to encounter an earthquake this ti.
Ti passed, second by second.
The beating of Yang Ji's heart grew more and more intense.
He thought knowing the answer would calm his heart, but the more he knew, the less his heart could remain calm.
There was no shock of a sudden earthquake, but rather a palpable sense of pressure building over ti on his heart.
As the ti drew nearer and nearer, and with the final second falling, his heartbeat also reached its peak.
Suddenly, after a mont of silence in heaven and earth, 'Boom!' a muffled, thunderous sound burst forth from the seabed.
The rock layer at the bottom of the sea broke rapidly, extrely violent, the terrifying energy of the earthquake, like a giant with a huge hamr, suddenly smashed onto a concrete slab, with the epicenter as the core, the seabed's rock layers extensively cracked.
The power of nature was incomprehensible, countless layers of rock fracturing in an instant, burst through the sea surface, rising high, the entailed terrifying force shook outward, instantly stirring up a hundred-foot-high tsunami, surging in all directions.
The thick waves, like the hands of a celestial being descending from the sky, struck down upon the islands. In an instant, countless demonic beasts perished.
The force of the earthquake did not stop, and the tsunami was relentless, one wave following another, surging in all directions. The entire sea, as far as the eye could see, was now row upon row of vertical waves, like reapers erging from the sea, rushing in every direction.
Boom!
Boom!
The seawater churned madly, and that terrifying tremor caused the entire vast Black Wind Island to shake, as if it could collapse and scatter at any mont.
That terrifying earthquake, by shaking the seawater, compressing the air, made it seem as though even the entire sky was shaking.
The earthquake ca fiercely and exploded suddenly. Only when the air surged and slapped against their faces did the people belatedly realize what was happening.
"It's an earthquake!"
"An earthquake has actually occurred."
"Damn it, my Black Wind Island, please don't be destroyed."
Mang Biao, at this mont, looked at the teetering Black Wind Island "shivering" within the tsunami, his heart racing with shock and fear.
"What a terrifying earthquake, creating a tsunami that stretches beyond sight. How large an area did this earthquake affect?" soone exclaid in astonishnt.
"Luckily the epicenter isn't nearby, otherwise our Black Wind Island would have been subrged."
"Pah! Jinx!" Mang Biao glared fiercely at him as he watched the hundred-foot waves strike the island, his heart filled with dread.
"With such terrifying force, I fear I would be flattened into a at pancake if I went down."
"No, you'd be directly smashed into powder, instantaneously exploding!"
The people looked at the terrifying spectacle of the roaring waves with fear in their hearts.
Yang Ji also felt the violent side of nature beneath its peaceful facade. Such mighty power was terrifying, only a Nascent Soul True Monarch displaying the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth could contend with it, perhaps.
Looking at the raging sea, everyone trembled with fear.
The earthquake continued the whole night, only completely subsiding when the day broke.
The earthquake subsided, but the broken seabed rock layers that had risen on the surface of the ocean had beco permanent, forming raised islands and reefs in the sea.
New islands and reefs were born, but Black Wind Island had been ravaged, a scene of complete desolation and disrepair.
The surviving Demonic Beasts on it had already fled to the sea, and the people also took to the air, beginning post-disaster reconstruction.
It wasn't until three days later that so cultivators, who had gone out to explore, brought back a special piece of news.
"Island Master, the brothers who went out said that the source of the great earthquake was near Wangng Island. There, the rock layers broke and surged up, forming a sea-bottom waterfall with a thousand-foot drop in the ocean.
A spiritual light burst forth from the crack, and it hasn't dissipated even now," said a Foundation Establishnt Hall Master, handing over a section of wood soaked by the sea, "Look at this, Island Master, this stake is said to have flowed out from the cracks in the waterfall, along the rock layers."
"This is, thousand-year-old Vajra Wood, look at this shape, could it be part of an eaves? My god, such wanton waste of precious resources, whose eaves are made with Vajra Wood? This is a pri material for making Supre Magic Artifacts, who's so extravagant?" Mang Biao exclaid, his eyes wide with shock.
"Don't know. The spiritual light from the crack in the waterfall is still soaring into the sky; everyone is saying there might be an Immortal's Cave Mansion hidden inside," said the Foundation Establishnt Hall Master, frowning as he spoke.
"Let see that," Yang Ji, standing nearby, eyed the Vajra Wood, which was only as thick as a thigh, with shock and doubt in his eyes. He took it and sniffed it at the tip of his nose, his heart trembling instantly,
"This Vajra Wood, although not the sa as the wood enclosing the Humanoid Weapon, has the exact sa scent."
"Could it be that the Humanoid Weapon cos from that crack in the waterfall?"
