Two Realms High Martial Arts: Gathering the Heavens to Become a Great Luo Immortal

Chapter 197 Vast Ocean Battle Formation, Pseudo-Exterior Power

Li Xijun's mental power spread out like an invisible tide, instantly taking in the entire situation of the ship.

The scene on the sea at this moment is truly terrifying.

The azure sea was now covered by countless, ferocious-looking sea spirit warriors.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, as if the entire ocean had come alive and transformed into a den of ferocious beasts that would devour anyone who dared to touch it!

Most of the Sea Spirits retain a near-humanoid silhouette, but their skin is covered with dark green or grayish-blue scales, their fingers are webbed, their faces are distorted, their fangs are exposed, and their eyes gleam with bloodlust and rage.

Wielding rough yet sharp bone forks and coral blades, they emitted piercing screechs, like surging black tides, constantly crashing against the cruise ship's energy shield and steel hull.

Those thousands of ferocious-level sea spirits, each with a fierce aura comparable to a human Transcendent Realm martial artist, launched a fearless attack, each swing of their bone forks accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air.

What's even more chilling are those thirty-six figures who stand out like cranes among chickens, exuding a powerful aura—the Sea Spirit Clan at the Warrior level!

These sea spirits have standard human bodies and fish tails; if you only look at their upper bodies, they are almost identical to humans.

These warrior-level sea spirits are different from the brute-force-based warrior-level sea spirits.

They could wield weapons such as tridents and swords to stir up the surrounding seawater into roaring waterspouts, each attack creating huge waves.

and,

These thirty-six warrior-level sea spirits each exuded a powerful aura no weaker than that of a human martial artist at the Intent Realm. Some of them were even more powerful, their pressure approaching that of the mid-stage or even late-stage Intent Realm!

They are like the core and commander of this mythical wave of creatures, driving the Sea Spirit army to launch wave after wave of increasingly ferocious attacks.

The cruise ship's energy shield flickered violently under such intense attacks, its light fading and emitting a groan of strain.

The sturdy special alloy hull was also dented by the powerful attacks of the incredibly strong Sea Spirits, and even some places had developed tiny cracks!

"Hiss—this...this is too much!" Zhou Jiming couldn't help but gasp, his face turning pale.

"Thirty-six warrior-level monsters... Are they going all out this time?"

Even the usually calm Ju Mengya had an extremely solemn expression at this moment.

As a member of the student council, she was well aware of the training experiences of Lan Yixiang and others from the previous year.

There was no such scene in their class last time. They simply spent their days training at sea and eventually arrived in Busan for trials.

But now that it's their turn, the trials they face are like this.

This was not even a typical encounter.

This is clearly a small-scale war!

It was a well-organized legion of the Sea Spirit Clan ambushing them.

The pressure, like a real mountain, instantly weighed on the hearts of every member of the National Guard team.

but,

Those who can stand here are all the most outstanding young talents of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Even if one is briefly stunned by this boundless wave of mythical creatures,

The nine martial arts prodigies present, who had experienced countless trials in mythical worlds, instantly entered a state of battle.

"Prepare for the enemy!" Jiang Tu roared, his voice like thunder!

He was the first to set off!

This military man, a veteran who had fought in the Kunlun War zone for many years,

His body instantly erupted with a fierce aura, like the clash of swords and the surge of blood!

He didn't use any fancy weapons, just a pair of iron fists covered with dark gold metal gauntlets!

"Military Way Killing Fist - Formation Breaker!"

He charged into the group of Sea Spirits of the Wraith Soldier level like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex, his fists creating terrifying sonic booms in the air!

Simple, direct, and domineering!

With each punch, one or even several Sea Spirit warriors were blasted into a cloud of blood and gore.

He was like a moving steel wall, firmly guarding one side of the ship, refusing to retreat an inch!

Following closely behind was Wei Ying!

The short-haired girl had sharp, eagle-like eyes. Instead of charging directly into battle, she quickly seized a high vantage point, and a pale blue longbow instantly appeared in her hand.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

As wind-attribute spiritual energy continuously condenses into arrows, each arrow, once launched, can precisely cross distances and kill those sea spirits!

Her attacks did not appear as direct and violent as Jiang Tu's.

However, each time he was able to precisely disrupt the rhythm of the opponent's small-scale offensive.

This caused a noticeable disruption in the rhythm of the Sea Spirit warriors, who were originally charging in like giant waves.

"Kill!" Cai Meier shouted, drawing her long sword. The sword light was like mercury spilling onto the ground, agile and swift.

Wherever this mid-stage martial artist passed, the Sea Spirit Clan warriors in a small area would show a blank expression, instantly turning into stunned wooden stakes, and would be killed by her sword in an instant.

At the same time, Cai Meng'er did not forget to give instructions.

"Luo Xu, go and kill the general on the left! Ye Ningxue, freeze the sea surface first!"

Luo Xu, whose presence was extremely low, appeared on the left wing like a ghost.

His weapons were a pair of short blades, and his moves were unpredictable and unpredictable.

He only witnessed a sudden burst of shadow, a black mass enveloping him and a warrior-level sea spirit.

Just over ten breaths later, Luo Xu vanished in a flash, disappearing into who-knows-where.

The Sea Spirit Clan member at the Warrior level had already lost his head.

Ye Ningxue remained as aloof as snow. She gently raised her hand and slowly grasped the Miao sword at her waist. With the surge of spiritual power within her body, the sword light burst forth instantly, transforming into an extreme flash of cold light.

The entire line of Transcendent Realm Sea Spirits was sliced ​​in two with a single stroke.

But this is just the beginning.

An extreme, bone-chilling cold burst forth from that blade of light, instantly shattering and transforming into snowflakes that scattered and turned the nearby sea into a layer of cold, hard ice.

This is a stunning outdoor attack called "Snowflakes Falling on Earth," and it seems that Ye Ningxue has also mastered it.

"Hmph! Perfect timing! I just broke through and was worried about having nowhere to stretch my muscles!"

Unlike the others, Jiang Qiyue, knowing that Li Xijun could provide support, was so excited that her eyes lit up, and she couldn't feel any fear at all.

The girl, dressed in fiery red, charged into the Sea Spirit Clan army like a burning flame, her spear ablaze with scorching Vermilion Bird Flame!

"die!"

She fired a shot, and a scorching wave of fire erupted in a fan shape, instantly igniting seven or eight Sea Spirit warriors who charged at her. They screamed in agony as they were reduced to charred remains.

After her breakthrough, the [Vermilion Bird Sky-Patrolling Spirit Body] was incredibly powerful, making her like a goddess of fire, invincible!

Zhou Mingji's eyes were cold, but the "Dead Wood Poison Dragon Scripture" he cultivated proved surprisingly effective in this chaotic battle.

His movements were as swift as a venomous snake, and he flicked out wisps of gray-green poisonous mist from his fingertips. Those sea spirits who came into contact with the poisonous mist immediately became slow and stiff, their scales fell off, their flesh rotted, and they soon fell to the ground and died with cries of agony.

Su Nianyi hovered in mid-air, her purple robes fluttering, her powerful mental energy transforming into an invisible giant hammer, sharp threads, and a solid barrier.

She single-handedly controlled a large area, making the entire team's defense line several times stronger!

This performance satisfied Professor Xu and Su Nianying, who were watching from the sky.

After all, they were the ten most outstanding and powerful martial arts prodigies selected from the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Faced with such a massive uprising of mythical creatures, this level of combat performance and lethality is to be expected.

In fact,

If this were on land, with the combined combat power of all these martial artists at the Intent Realm level,

Once these people become more skilled at coordinating, they will be able to break through the Sea Spirit Clan's legion and escape easily.

however,

This is the sea, the boundless sea.

Their movements have been restricted, and they can only rely on the cruise ship and the ice to defend their position.

And the number of Sea Spirits is simply too great!

After seven or eight of those Sea Spirit Clan warriors were killed initially while everyone was watching them closely, they all became extremely cunning.

They did not rush forward to fight to the death, but instead continuously drove their warriors to wear down the enemy while looking for opportunities to launch deadly sneak attacks.

The battle thus entered a fierce and intense phase.

The entire cruise ship and the surrounding ice had been transformed into a bloody meat grinder, with roars, sounds of fighting, explosions, and the howls of the Sea Spirits all mixed together.

Sea Spirits were constantly being killed, their corpses falling into the sea, but more and more enemies continued to surge up as if there were no end in sight.

Although the members of the National Government team were all very strong, they began to wear down under such intense attacks, and some members even suffered minor injuries.

however,

The terror of the Sea Spirit Clan goes far beyond this!

Just as the Nationalist team unleashed their power, their aura waning amidst the endless encirclement and slaughter,

The thirty-odd Sea Spirits at the Warrior level suddenly let out sharp, long hisses at the same time!

The sound seemed to contain some strange rhythm, spreading throughout the entire battlefield.

next moment,

A chilling scene unfolded!

All the Sea Spirit warriors who were launching a frenzied attack, whether they were Li Bing or Zhan Jiang, suddenly stopped moving. Then, as if they had received the highest order, they began to retreat and regroup rapidly!

They no longer surged up like a scattered pile of sand, but instead, with those thirty-odd warriors as the core, they quickly coalesced into huge battle formations that covered the sea!

The auras of thousands of Sea Spirits were miraculously connected through the battle formation!

"Buzz—!"

A massive, suffocating force began to gather!

The seawater at the center of the battle formation spun wildly, forming a huge whirlpool, where endless seawater power was concentrated.

Even more terrifying is that through this combined battle formation, they have actually begun to draw upon the spiritual power of this vast world!

The ocean is the home ground of the Sea Spirit Clan!

With the help of the boundless power of the ocean, the level of power that gathered began to rise wildly, quickly breaking through the limits of the realm of artistic conception, and was almost infinitely close to the realm of external scenery.

Although it is certainly no match for a true powerhouse in the outer realm, the sheer concentration of pure energy and the immense momentum generated by the war have already brought a sense of oppression akin to the might of heaven and earth!

A colossal mermaid statue of the Sea Spirit race, formed from seawater and raging energy, slowly materialized above the largest battle formation, locking onto the entire cruise ship.

The oppressive aura emanating from this merman giant instantly turned all the Nationalist team members pale.

Just moments ago, everyone felt completely at ease, but now they felt short of breath, as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on their hearts, and even the flow of spiritual energy within their bodies became sluggish!

This is a force that they at this level simply cannot directly confront.

"They...they've formed an array?! How could they..." Cai Meier's face paled, her voice trembling.

"It's over... This power..." Even the most reckless Jiang Qiyue was constantly retreating, and the flames around her dimmed a bit.

Jiang Tu was the most obvious to retreat; he had already begun searching for a retreat route and was preparing to lead the charge.

As a military warrior with experience in legion battles, he knew very well that...

Without the presence of an outdoor scene, any martial artist would become utterly powerless in the face of such a massive battle formation.

at the same time,

Professor Xu's cold voice rang out again over the loudspeaker.

The sound reached everyone's ears clearly, shattering their last shred of hope:

"Those of you who have all conquered the Nine-Story Demon Tower should be familiar with the Sea Spirit Clan. This intelligent race is most skilled in the art of battle formations."

"Even dozens of ordinary Transcendent Realm Sea Spirit Clan members would instinctively form an array to surround and kill a genius martial artist."

"When their numbers reach thousands, especially when there are warrior-level sea spirits, they will form the 'Vast Ocean Battle Formation,' which can gather the power of the masses and draw upon a portion of the power of heaven and earth. The energy level can reach the pseudo-outer realm level at its highest."

"This is one of the reasons why the Sea Spirit Clan is a major threat to the southeastern coastal area every year."

"To reiterate, neither Teacher Su nor I will intervene. If you are unable to cope with or escape this situation on your own and are driven to the brink of despair, we will spare your lives, but those who are rescued will be immediately disqualified from the National Government team and forced to withdraw!"

"True strength is revealed in the face of life and death. Figure it out yourselves!"

These words were like ice water poured over their heads, instantly bringing everyone to their senses and making them realize the current situation.

Those who cannot take action and cannot compete will be eliminated.

But what can they do in the face of such a force that is almost a natural disaster?

"Prepare the evacuation route!"

As a graduate of the command department, Wei Ying made a decision instantly, her voice both urgent and calm.

"We can only run! Their battle formations are just a facade; they're not as agile as us. We're not far from the waters off Japan; we just need to retreat to a safe area."

"I think I understand now. They don't want us to have a comfortable cruise vacation. They want us to experience what it's like to escape at sea." The quick-witted Cai Meng'er saw through what was going on.

A hint of understanding and seriousness appeared on Ye Ningxue's usually cold face.

"They probably want to see our ability to survive and escape at sea under such extreme pressure."

This is clearly an official training exercise.

It's not about comfortably arriving at your destination on a cruise ship.

Instead, they struggled to survive amidst endless pursuit, crossing this dangerous sea.

at the same time,

The pseudo-exterior-level sea spirit giant had already taken shape, exuding an aura of destruction like the ocean, and slowly opened its eyes to gaze at and lock onto the cruise ship and the people in front of it.

A shadow instantly descended.
