Chapter 791: Bearing the Burden
Chen Futu felt that Lizhou was in danger, especially since Lizhou was isolated overseas. He had previously sensed that the ley lines beneath the Wuwang Sea had changed, so Lizhou would be surrounded by the ley line races emerging from the ocean.
"Aren't you going to wait for Xiaobai?" Fu Shuang asked.
"There's no need. With Xiaobai's current combat strength, no one capable of killing her has been born yet."
Chen Futu wasn't exaggerating; if Xiaobai were to enter the third form now, the scene would be incredibly exciting to imagine.
"Master, I want to come too."
Shi Ya quickly spoke up, and Chen Futu nodded, leading her and Wangcai through the void to cross over.
Now that war has broken out, the entire continent will soon be in chaos.
However, crossing the void was not smooth. A powerful earth vein expert from the extreme realm sensed the spatial fluctuations and destroyed the path the two were on in one blow.
"Leave? Where to go? Since we've met, let's stay."
A gigantic beetle, entirely black and taller than a mountain, its armor inscribed with the words of the Supreme Emperor. Cursed mists shrouded it, making it appear as an ancient beast rising from a sea of fog.
Chen Futu stopped and sized up the other party. "No matter how big you appear, it can't change your true nature of being all bark and no bite."
"Boy, how much do you know about the ley line races? The creatures on the continent are nothing but frogs in a well. Today, we treat you as food, which is your good fortune."
"Bedbug, have you finished giving your last words?"
Chen Futu didn't even bother to draw his sword; he simply pointed it out from a distance and slashed.
With a whoosh, a ten-thousand-foot-long sword light sliced through the sky. The colossal beast formed from the black mist before them screamed as it was cleaved in two. As it split open, it let out a mournful cry, "You are a Martial God! How can there still be a Martial God on the continent!"
"You're making a fuss over nothing; I'll grant you death."
Before it could turn into thick fog and escape, Chen Futu raised his hand and flicked a drop of Ancestral Dragon Blood.
Don't underestimate a single drop of blood. When it was shot out, it formed a fan-shaped area spanning hundreds of miles, completely dispelling all the mist and fog within the area, including the large thing that had been cut open.
"Okay, so strong!"
Shi Ya witnessed this great battle firsthand, and her heart was filled with turmoil.
This cheap master is too powerful; he only needs a drop of blood to kill the opponent's Supreme Emperor.
“You deserve to die for murdering my clansman.”
The matter was indeed not over yet. The mist gathered again, and four terrifying figures rose from the ground, their vast and powerful forms overwhelming this realm.
Chen Futu and Shi Ya looked like two tiny insects in front of them.
"His cultivation level isn't that great, but he's making quite a show of it."
While Chen Futu was engaged in a fierce battle, Lizhou was also in turmoil. The situation was just as Chen Futu had predicted. As an isolated island overseas, it was surrounded by a thick black fog rising from the bottom of the Boundless Sea. There were countless black-armored monsters in the fog. Fortunately, Lizhou had a god-level national protection formation, which they could not break through for the time being.
Moreover, the sea monsters were no pushovers. When the leyline race suddenly emerged from the depths of the ocean, the sea monsters were enraged and swarmed at them in droves.
The Boundless Sea, which spans the continent, is churning violently, with fighting taking place everywhere. Blood and corpses flow freely, turning the Boundless Sea into a giant dye vat.
The sea creatures are not very intelligent; they only know that someone has invaded their territory and they must defend themselves.
"Good guy!"
When Chen Ling'er and the others arrived at the coastal area to observe the situation, they saw that before the Lizhou side had even made a move, countless sea beasts had already started fighting with the earth vein race.
These creatures living in the ocean are not only numerous, but also have a unique characteristic: some are ancient sea beasts, often at the level of Martial Emperor or Martial Venerable. The deeper one goes into the Boundless Sea, the stronger the sea beasts become. There are even sea beasts at the Emperor level that lurk beneath the surface of the sea, eyeing the black alien creatures that suddenly appear out of nowhere.
"It seems to be enough to buy us some time. Moreover, the people of Lizhou rely on the protection of the divine array patterns, so we must not allow them to have the opportunity to deplete the energy of the great array."
Chen Changsheng surveyed the situation in various regions of Lizhou and discovered that a vanguard of the Earth Vein Clan had crossed the sea beast defense line and begun attacking the array patterns. Their strength was roughly at the Martial King or Martial Emperor level, not strong, but their advantage lay in their large numbers.
Therefore, the military commanders must lead their troops to support the coastal areas.
"Yun Chang, Xing Ba, Zi Dan, please lead your troops to the Western Regions sea area for defense and hold the line."
"Zilong, Mengqi, and Uncle Huo, please lead your troops to the East China Sea for defense."
"General Yue and General Wu Qi, you and Zaixing and Gao Shun should lead your troops to defend the northern Onon Sea. You can ask Yihua Palace for assistance."
Chen Changsheng issued the order, and after the generals received the military order, the spatial array patterns within the territory of Lizhou were activated, and the generals led their troops to the coastal battlefield.
When Chen Futu returned last time, the generals all reached the Quasi-Emperor level. After more than ten years of arduous cultivation at the Huazhou Enlightenment Center, most of them reached the Great Emperor level, even Cao Zhen and Gao Shun stepped into the realm of Half-Step Great Emperor.
As for An Jingsi, Dian Wei, and Li Yuanba, the three of them led the Jingyue Army, the Tiger Guards, and Li Xiuning's Women's Army to the South China Sea front, respectively. Among these fierce generals, the three of them were the strongest, and the South China Sea faced the most vast sea area, so the pressure was also the greatest.
Currently, the main legions of the Great Xia have all been dispatched, but a large number of combat forces remain.
For example, the four Holy Emperors and their three disciples, the Four Beauties, Ake, as well as the core disciples of Zhongnan Mountain, Tianji Pavilion, Huafang, Sun Moon Sect and Peach Blossom Mountain.
The imperial harem was also prepared for battle. Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning donned imperial armor, ready to personally lead the White-Spear Soldiers and the concubines of the harem to the front lines should the need arise.
Of course, there are also some people who have not shown up, such as Liu Longyue, Peach Blossom Goddess, Haotian Emperor, Xi Daoren, Lan Qiao, Tianmen Ancestor, Bai Zhi and Lian Nishang. This group are all high-level emperors, or even supreme emperors.
Unfortunately, Chen Futu, Zhang Sanfeng, and Xiaobai, the three strongest fighters in Lizhou, were all absent. However, Chen Changsheng was still able to maintain the situation, keeping a close eye on the battle so that he could send people to support the battlefield at any time.
Looking at the coastal area, due to the suddenness of the incident, many residents living by the sea in Lizhou did not have time to retreat back to the mainland of Lizhou. They were brutally murdered, and as far as the eye could see, there were countless corpses floating on the sea.
The people watched the apocalyptic scene outside through the array patterns, and they were all terrified.
"God, why are you treating us like this!"
"What are those dark things? Someone, please save us!"
The coastal area was filled with cries and screams. The local garrison tried to go out and fight, but they were no match for the attacks of the leyline race. They didn't even have the chance to become cannon fodder.
The ley line tribes use a mysterious, cursed mist to conjure armor that ordinary soldiers cannot even break through. In fact, they may even be corrupted by the curse and go mad, turning their own people against them.
