Chapter 576: Chapter 317: Fierce Battle with the Demon Emperor (Part 2)

"Crack!" Another sharp thunderbolt struck down.

Soon, the third, fourth, ..., tribulation thunders continuously struck down, each more violent and powerful than the previous one.

In no time, the massive body of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon was charred black by countless tribulation thunders, the dense power of thunder infiltrating its body, constantly impacting its meridians and internal organs, ...

On the Earth Element Spirit Ship, Xiaojin and Xiaowa occasionally looked at the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon undergoing the baptism of thunder tribulation, and occasionally glanced at their master engaged in close combat with a powerful enemy on the island below, their hearts filled with anxiety, wanting to intervene but powerless.

...

The Tier Seven True Dragon Thunder Tribulation, with thunderclouds covering over a hundred miles, was a grand spectacle that drew the attention of countless high-tier cultivators across the sea realm.

Nearby, many Divinity Transformation cultivators, Void Refining cultivators, Tier Six Demon Kings, Tier Seven Demon Emperors, all arrived through Sky Control to witness whether the tribulation crosser could safely cross the tribulation.

However, as they reached the sea realm, they were drawn by another intense battle. On an island near the thunder tribulation, a fierce and earth-shattering battle was unfolding.

The air was filled with strong fluctuations of spiritual qi, mixed with demon qi, clearly indicating that two formidable entities were engaged in a ferocious duel.

"Isle Master Ye, you’re here too!" A Divinity Transformation female cultivator greeted the master of Thousand Leaf Island, Ye Qiuming, warmly.

"Oh, it’s Fellow Daoist Situ. Do you know what’s going on with the battle ahead?" Ye Qiuming returned the salute and looked at Situ Lan, curiously asking.

The battle ahead emitted a powerful spirit essence fluctuation mixed with the unique aura of the White Whale Demon Emperor, indicating that the combatants involved were at least on par with the White Whale Demon Emperor.

"I just arrived as well, why don’t we go forward for a closer look? I wonder which fellow daoist has infuriated the White Whale Demon Emperor to such an extent." Situ Lan shook her head and suggested.

"Sure!"

Ye Qiuming nodded gladly and controlled his sword to proceed.

Along the way, they met other comrades, exchanged greetings, and joined their group.

As they got closer to the sea realm where the thunder tribulation was occurring, the group of observers expanded to eight people.

Including the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Stars Sect, Void Refining cultivator Chen Xuanzi, the Sea God Sect’s Third Elder, Divinity Transformation cultivator Situ Lan, the Isle Master of Thousand Leaf Island, Divinity Transformation cultivator Ye Qiuming, ...

The group hurriedly headed towards the island, filled with doubt and curiosity, eager to uncover the reason behind the battle, and even more curious about who had provoked the usually mild-tempered White Whale Race enough to compel the White Whale Demon Emperor to personally confront the opponent.

With swift Sky Control, they were soon above the island, instantly astonished by the scene below.

A young nascent soul cultivator was locked in a fierce battle with the White Whale Demon Emperor, evenly matched. Though he was a nascent soul cultivator, his strength was sufficient to contend with a Tier Seven Demon Emperor, even gaining the upper hand in some aspects.

"This, how is it possible? Someone fighting the White Whale Demon Emperor to a standstill is actually just a nascent soul cultivator?" Void Refining cultivator Chen Xuanzi murmured in disbelief.

"Who is this prodigy from the human race? Any of you know him?" Situ Lan asked her companions, shocked.

"To have cultivated the Five Elements Magical Power to such depth, and the physical strength so formidable, compared to a Tier Seven Demon Emperor’s body, it’s evenly matched. This nascent soul cultivator is truly a monster!"

"Indeed! His mastery of the Five Elements Escape Technique is seamless, perfectly unified, coming and going freely. Even though the White Whale Demon Emperor possesses the strength of ten thousand jin, its speed is its fatal flaw, rendering it defensively struggling without any ability to counterattack in this battle!"

...

The cultivators discussed in amazement at the nascent soul cultivator’s prowess. They had never seen anyone cultivate the Five Elements Magical Power to such depth, with physical strength equally formidable, matching a Tier Seven Demon Emperor, challenging their understanding.

"Who on earth is he? He appears quite young, how did he cultivate, developing such remarkable skills?"

For a moment, this question surfaced collectively in their minds.

In this sea realm, the White Whale Demon Emperor was unrivaled, possessing top-notch strength and speed within the cultivation realm. But seeing the cultivator calmly confront it was truly unbelievable.

The arrival of high-tier cultivators caused Xiaojin and Xiaowa on the Earth Element Spirit Ship to tense up, but after overhearing their discussions, the beast tamers loosened their tense expressions slightly.

Judging by their analyses, the beast tamers could ascertain one thing: their master held the upper hand in the battle, with a significant advantage.

"Fellow Daoists, look at that spirit ship, there are several transformed great demons on it, each with extraordinary talent and power. Most astonishing is the Tier Seven Plant Spirit. Its life force is extremely robust, seeming as if it could live as long as the heavens and earth. And that Tier Six Spirit Ship, could it be the treasure of the nascent soul cultivator below?" As the cultivators focused on the fierce battle on the island below, a Divinity Transformation cultivator, Venerable Huang Ling, suddenly spoke up. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Upon hearing this, everyone’s gaze shifted to the floating Tier Six Spirit Ship above the island, surprised expressions affirming his judgment.

"Do you suppose the Flood Dragon undergoing the Tier Seven True Spirit Thunder Tribulation is related to this young man?" Venerable Huang Ling paused and continued.

"That’s impossible! Fellow Daoist Huang, your imagination is too rich." Someone immediately refuted, clearly unwilling to believe.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, think about it carefully, the Flood Dragon’s water elemental magical power, consider its relation to the attributes of the few high-tier beast tamers on the spirit ship, don’t they happen to complete the Five Elements?"

"Look at that nascent soul cultivator, his Five Elements Spiritual Essence is so profound, his understanding of the Power of the Five Elements is immeasurable. Hence, Huang conjectures that he must have gathered the five beast tamers specifically for this, so the tribulation crosser Flood Dragon must have a close connection with him!" Venerable Huang Ling smiled slightly, elaborating his thoughts.

Hearing this, the cultivators’ expressions froze in shock.

"Daoist Monarch above, what is the background of this young man? How could he conquer so many high-tier beast tamers, moreover complete the Five Elements."

"Fellow Daoist Huang’s reasoning makes sense!"

"It seems it might be so."

...

Under Venerable Huang Ling’s explanation, the cultivators smiled bitterly, unable to deny the high possibility of his conjecture, aligning with what they understood.

Momentarily, they gazed at the intense island battle speechlessly, all calming their minds, digesting this astounding revelation.

On the island, after half an hour of fierce battle, Li Mu had already discerned his opponent’s fighting style, using the Five Elements Escape Technique to evade the White Whale Demon Emperor’s attacks calmly.

Across the entire island, everywhere offered Li Mu a footing for the escape technique, his figure elusive, the White Whale Demon Emperor’s attacks repeatedly missing their mark.

In the intense combat, Li Mu even had the leisure to extend his divine sense, monitoring the tribulation status of the Two-Horned Cyan Moon Flood Dragon, further noticing the arrival of numerous cultivators from the Ten Thousand Stars Sea Region, along with other sea race demon kings and demon emperors secretly watching from deep below.

Seeing this scene, Li Mu’s mood was somewhat irritable. This battle with the White Whale Demon Emperor would likely expose his identity, possibly bringing trouble from the Ji Family.

"Damn it! To have the audacity to distract while battling me! It’s sheer arrogance!"

The White Whale Demon Emperor sensed Li Mu’s state and instantly furrowed its brow in anger, disregarding previous agreements, unleashing its full water elemental demonic power without regard for the advantageous position at sea.

In an instant, the sky and earth changed colors, surrounding the island with a hundred-zhang sea wave, transforming into a giant hand, fiercely crashing down on the entire island, intending to smash the nascent soul cultivator into pulp, with its saturation attack offering no escape route.

Li Mu’s expression slightly altered; the massive hand condensed the entire power of the Hundred Whales Demon Emperor, which his cultivation utterly couldn’t withstand.
