Chaotic Lighting Cultivation - Chapter 224
Chapter 224: Heaven Shaking Battle
As he said that, the Black Shark King waved his trident, emitting a violent wave of black light. As for his subordinates, they charged forward, relentlessly attacking with the water pillars. The next moment, the water pillars shot up to the sky, making it seem like there is a wall of water.
Faced with such a frightening attack, SongZhong dare not hold back any longer. While using the Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightnings to defend against the trident, he also shot out a spiritual talisman towards the copper bell. His copper bell then emitted a loud ring, which reverberated in all directions. The water pillars which were in close proximity were destroyed by the sound wave, while those water pillars that were further away, had their internal structure destroyed and weakened greatly.
The four nuns then unleashed their divine light, forming a force field composed of light, easily blocking the oncoming but weakened water pillars.
At the same time, the five sword cultivators suddenly became translucent as they turned into formless devils. They passed through the water pillars and arrived right in front of the herd of black sharks. Then they returned back into corporeal forms and sent out waves of sword Qi which struck the foes accurately.
None of the black sharks expected such moves from the demonic witches. They were caught off guard and a few hundred black sharks died again.
These women were just too savage. Every attack of theirs would kill several of the black sharks instantly. It scared these black sharks, who were infamous for their fierceness, into scattering for their lives. The Black Shark King was angered to the point his face turned green as he roared, “Brethrens, set up the Mysterious Water Protection Formation!”
Following the Black Shark King’s commands, the eight JinDan brethrens immediately took action. They released a large amount of spiritual Qi, coalescing a large water ball of over ten thousand feet, to allow the black sharks to hide within it.
All of these water balls are formed from water spiritual Qi and the black sharks are able to move about freely in them. In fact, their spells would be strengthened in them as well. But if someone else were to go in, they would be greatly restricted. Even the formless demonic witches would also be affected. If they were to enter in their human forms, they would be unable to move at all.
The five sword cultivators did not dare to enter the water balls and only attacked from outside with their sword Qi. However, the water ball was capable of weakening the sword Qi. After the sword Qi entered the water ball, not only its strength would be weakened, its speed would also be reduced. The black sharks could then easily ensure that their vital spots would not be hit, thus easily defending against the sword Qi with their tough hide.
Faced with such a situation, the five demonic witches were rendered helpless. As SongZhong saw that, he gave out a cold laughter and sent his divine lightnings towards the water ball. With the might of the Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightnings, at least half of each water ball would be destroyed in a single blow for sure. Not only would the black sharks hiding within would be killed, they would also lose the protection of the water balls, giving the demonic witches a chance to slaughter them.
As the Black Shark King saw that, he was startled. He hurriedly waved his trident to block the divine lightnings which SongZhong threw out. Following a loud explosion, the divine lightnings exploded in the air and none of the black sharks were harmed.
Upon the sight of this scene, their morale rose as they shot out water pillars from inside the water ball to assist the Black Shark King. Through the aid of the water spiritual Qi, the water pillars were actually black with a light shade of gold. If these water pillars were to strike metal, the metal would probably be blown to smithereens.
SongZhong’s divine lightning had no effect at all! Instead, it drew hundreds of water pillar to him, resulting him to be at a loss at what to do for an instant. Although he barely managed to block the attack with the aid of the devils and copper bell, he was still extremely ticked off by this attack.
Given how things had progressed to this extent, both of them were already fighting to the death, so SongZhong decided not to hold back further. He gritted his teeth and made a bold and crazy decision.
He shrinked the bell above his head, to around 10 feet big and rode on it, charging towards the nearest water ball to him. As he charged forward, he shot out his divine lightnings in rapid succession and unleashed the Bone Eroding Immortal Voice with his copper bell.
The water ball naturally could not defend against such a large-scale attack and was instantly destroyed. Consequently, a large massacre started. The five sword cultivators unleashed their sword Qi incessantly and SongZhong spammed his divine lightnings as though they were free. In just a short few breaths, a few hundred black sharks were killed and the rest scattered to the other water balls.
The Black Shark King would not watch in silence and see his kins be killed. In reality, when SongZhong began to move, the Black Shark King had already used his trident to block SongZhong. It was a pity that SongZhong had learnt from his mistake and handed the mission of dealing with the trident to the four nuns. These four nuns were well-versed in the study of buddhist spells, which had a subduing effect on demonic beasts. Thus, despite the four nuns being weaker than the Black Shark King, they were able to utilise their vast experience and knowledge to block the Black Shark King. In the end, the Black Shark King was only able to watch his brothers get massacred helplessly.
SongZhong’s divine lightning, copper bell and sword Qi went all out, thereby killing the middle JinDan cultivator. That was the blood brother of the Black Shark King!
Seeing his brother getting dismembered into pieces by the sword Qi and being blown into ashes by the divine lightning, the Black Shark King was completely enraged. With a roar suffused with grief, he led his subordinates on a grand battle.
A brutal battle broke out as the five coloured sword Qi filled the skies, prismatic fireballs and explosions all around. Furthermore, there was also the trident of the Black Shark King, sending out gigantic black waves of Qi blast.
The whole space was filled with dark clouds as rain poured down from above. However, the explosions of the divine lightning had lit up the entire place. Anyone in the surrounding few hundred kilometres could hear the cacophony of the loud explosions, the loud rings from the copper bell and the miserable groans of the black sharks. This large battle lasted for over a few hours before there was finally a turn in tide!
This turn in tide was not because both parties were exhausted from the fight. The magical Qi of the Black Shark King and his subordinates were almost endless. As for SongZhong, he had the Five Elements Pure Water to replenish his own spiritual Qi. Not to mention a few hours, they would probably be able to fight for a few years before they would feel tired. However, if they were able to fight for years, the Black Shark King’s trident might not be capable of enduring the battering of SongZhong’s divine lightnings.
After such a long fight, SongZhong had threw out almost a thousand Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightnings. 80% of them were blocked by the trident while the remaining were blocked by the black sharks, who had sacrificed their lives for it. However, these 80% of divine lightnings were not something that the trident was able to block over a prolonged period of time.
In fact, this is already considered pretty good. An ordinary magical artifact would shatter under tens of Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightnings. Despite having endured 800 divine lightnings, the trident still did not shatter. It only revealed cracks, with signs of breaking.
The Black Shark King became depressed. Without the trident, he can’t possibly use his body to block the divine lightnings. Despite his fleshly body having been tempered with over a thousand years of training, it is still a little lacking as compared to the force of the Lesser Positive Negative Five Elements Divine Lightning.
If it was any other person, they would probably retreat if things developed to such a state. But the Black Shark King couldn’t afford to throw his face! The renowned Black Shark King of the Eastern Ocean Surveillance Corps, surrounding a foundational cultivator with ten thousand brothers of his. In the end, almost half of them died and he had to retreat in defeat. If news of this were to spread, he would no longer have the dignity to face anyone in the Eastern Ocean anymore!
Besides, he had also estimated that SongZhong should be running out of divine lightnings soon. In fact, the amount of divine lightning which SongZhong had also exceeded his expectations. If he were to have anymore than that, it would be too unacceptable.
In addition, the marriage with the lightning eagle king was just too alluring to him. If he were to give up at this point after making such painful sacrifices, he would be extremely indignant. As such, he was also hoping that he would be able to take SongZhong down at the last moment.
Thus, after cracks appeared on the Black Shark King’s trident, he did not think of escaping. Rather, he threw the trident out towards the four nuns beside SongZhong.
Because everything happened too quickly, the trident was well within their Four Directional Demon Subduing Formation before the four nuns had a chance to react. At this time, they finally reacted as they shouted out, “Master, be careful! He wants to detonate his magical artifact!”
Although they were aware of the Black Shark King’s intention, it was already too late. In order to defend against a magical artifact that is going to detonate, the only way is to dodge it before it approaches or to block it. The moment it was beside them, it was already too late. Thus, the four of them only had enough time to remind SongZhong before being drawn in by the explosion.
Even the Four Directional Demon Subduing Formation of the Buddhists was unable to defend against the explosion of a Natal Artifact of a JinDan cultivator. In an instant, the divine light of the four nuns were broken, with the remnants of the explosion rushing towards SongZhong.
SongZhong could only use his copper bell to defend against it. Though the copper bell was able to defend against the explosion, it was also sent flying from the force of the explosion. Thus, SongZhong was left defenseless, without anyone or anything to protect him.
The Black Shark King who already made preparations, roared as he rushed towards SongZhong. At this moment, he thought that victory was in his grasp and he could not help but reveal a vicious smile, “Darn fatty, this daddy will beat you to death!”
The way the Black Shark King saw it, this SongZhong was just a pile of meat. As a lightning cultivator, his fleshly body would definitely not be strong. At the very least, SongZhong’s body cannot be compared to his fleshly body which had been toughened for a thousand years. As long as they engaged into close quarters combat, he would be able to crush SongZhong as easily as crushing a bug.
However, the Black Shark King was obviously wrong. The moment SongZhong saw that the Black Shark King wanted to bring the battle to close quarters, he wasn’t surprised. Instead, he was enraged. With a roar, he stretched out his arms as the muscles on his body expanded, tearing his robes apart and thereby revealing his frightening muscles.
“Blackhead, let us see who beats who to death!” As SongZhong said that, he turned into a flash of light as he received the Black Shark King.
The both of their figures then crashed together with a loud bang as they floated in midair. SongZhong then punched the Black Shark King’s chest with his right fist while the Black Shark King also sent his fist towards SongZhong’s chest! This exchange led to the both of them flying back with blood in their mouths.
At this moment, the Black Shark King was at a disadvantage. Due to the large stature of his younger brethrens, they had a slow reaction speed. When the trident exploded, they were sent flying by the explosion, causing their king’s reinforcement to be delayed.
SongZhong was different, the nine beauties all had a formless body. When the trident exploded, the nine demonic witches had already transformed into their formless form. Thus, they were able to quickly appear after the waves of the explosion had passed. The first to take action was the four nuns nearest to SongZhong. They so happened to meet the Black Shark King who had blood in his mouth after being punched by SongZhong. If they did not leverage on this opportunity, how can they still be considered demonic witches?
Without saying anything, they unleashed their magical artifacts and had them smashed onto the Black Shark King’s body. As the Black Shark King was sent flying, coupled with his grievous injuries, he was completely unable to react. Thus, he could only curl his body and let the four magical artifacts land onto his body.
With four mellow banging sounds, three of the Black Shark King’s limbs were broken, with one of the blows actually landing on the Black Shark King’s forehead, which almost knocked him unconscious. Following which, the Black Shark King was sent into the ocean with an enormous force, disappearing into the oceanic depths, with the state of his life unknown.
As for the five sword cultivators, they were too far away when that happened and did not have the time to take care of the Black Shark King. But they were able to catch the heavily injured SongZhong.
At this moment, SongZhong’s injuries were extremely severe. After all, the Black Shark King was a peak JinDan cultivator who was much stronger than him. Together with the thousand years of toughening his fleshly body, the strength of his body was naturally not a laughing matter at all. It is capable of devastating the mountains! It was already considered a miracle that SongZhong is still in one piece after receiving a full force blow from the Black Shark King!
Despite not dying, SongZhong’s life now hung between the balance of life and death. Almost all the bones in his ribs were broken, with some of them even piercing into his lungs, making him cough out blood incessantly. He was no longer capable of maintaining flight. If not for the five sword cultivators catching him, he would definitely have landed in the ocean already.
“Leave!” After SongZhong was saved, he dared not stay any longer. He pointed in a random direction and was unconscious soon after.
Chapter 225: Entry Without Escape
Seeing this situation, how would the nine beauties dare to delay? The four nuns rushed up together, two hugging his thighs while the other two hugging his arms, flying away with SongZhong. As for the five sword cultivators, they held onto the Five Element Essence Swords and hovered around SongZhong to protect him. While blocking the water pillars, they killed the black sharks who were frantically charging at them to create a blood path of escape.
Thankfully, the Black Shark King was unconscious at this moment and the Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation was also destroyed. The black clouds in the sky had faded away and the downpour also stopped. As such, the ordinary black sharks lost the ability to fly and could only shoot out water pillars from below. Although the JinDan black sharks were able to fly, there were only a few of them, completely unable to stop the five sword cultivators.
Despite the fact that they were in the midst of escaping, the unconscious SongZhong and his naughty hands still subconsciously transformed into claws and were in the midst of grabbing two of the nuns’ chests.
Needless to say, the battle came to an end after SongZhong left. However, this tranquility would not last for long. Under the aid of his brothers, the Black Shark King quickly recovered. Although he still had injuries on him, at least 70% of his combat prowess was recovered.
It turns out, there was a milky white herb on the territory of the Black Shark King, able to allow a seriously injured person to recover quickly. It was even more effective than the pills of the human cultivators. Of course, there wouldn’t be much of this milky white herb, and the Black Shark King himself did not have much. But, it was able to save his life this time.
When he had regained his consciousness, a day had already passed. When he woke up, the first thing he asked was, “Where is SongZhong?”
The brothers of the Black Shark Kings were not all idiots either. At least, the 5th grade demonic beasts had the intelligence of a fully grown adult. Thus, they predicted that the Black Shark King would not let the matter rest and sent out a 5th-grade demonic beast to tail SongZhong in secret.
Now that the Black Shark King had asked, they immediately replied, “Rest assured big brother, 3rd brother has gone to chase after them already! He will give us the appropriate coordinates! That darn fatty was sent flying by a single fist of yours and is currently unconscious. He would not have such a good medicine like us for sure and should still be unconscious. If we were to catch him, it would definitely be our victory without his divine lightning to assist the fight!”
“Good job!” The Black Shark King was elated as he heard that, “All you brothers are extremely thoughtful! This time, I was careless and let that darn fatty take a huge advantage of me. But, this matter isn’t over yet! Is everyone ready? I am going to take revenge!”
“We’re ready!”
“We’re just waiting for the command from the boss!” The other demonic beasts cried out as well.
“Haha, good! Activate the Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation and give chase!” The Black Shark King commanded hatefully.
Following his commands, a few thousand black sharks took action and aided the Black Shark King in setting up the Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation. Following which, endless black clouds appeared as they charged towards the direction SongZhong escaped from with killing intent.
However, despite the fact that the Black Shark King vowed to take revenge, he did not have any confidence of catching SongZhong. After all, the nine beauties were all extremely powerful with high-grade magical artifacts on them. Their flying speed would not be too slow for sure! At the very least, they would not be any slower than his Ten Thousand Miles Downpour Formation.
If not for the fact that SongZhong was unconscious and had pointed to a location which was far from the land, the Black Shark King would not even bother giving chase.
However, he had a small hope at the very least because the direction that SongZhong was going to was completely in the wrong direction. According to the direction he was flying towards, he would take at least 500,000 kilometres before reaching land. Thus, the Black Shark King still had a chance to catch up to him.
As such, after traveling day and night for three to four days, the Black Shark King met with the 3rd brother who was chasing after SongZhong.
As the Black Shark King saw him, he was stunned at first. Then, he asked in excitement, “3rd brother, weren’t you following SongZhong? Is he right in front of us?”
As 3rd brother heard that, he replied with a bitter laughter, “Somewhat!”
“What do you mean by somewhat?” The Black Shark King scolded in anger, “Yes means yes, no means no. Don’t tell me you lost track of him?”
“I lost him already!” 3rd brother replied with a bitter laughter, “There is just no way to chase after him!”
“Bullshit!” The Black Shark King scolded, “Why can’t you chase after him?”
“Big brother, don’t tell me you don’t know what lies ahead?” The 3rd brother replied in grievance, “That is the Bewildering Ocean!”
“Bewildering Ocean?” The Black Shark King took in a cold breath before slapping his thigh and scolding, “SongZhong you darn fatty, foolish idiot! Didn’t your elder tell you what kind of a place the Bewildering Ocean is? Why did you still run in there foolishly?”
As 3rd brother heard that, he immediately asked in doubt, “Big brother, one can only enter that Bewildering Ocean but not exit it. If that darn fatty enters it, he would be dead for sure and thus save our effort. Why are you not happy about it?”
“Idiot! That darn fatty is the condition for the Eagle King to marry me. If I do not have his corpse as evidence, my words would be insufficient to let her believe that I killed him!” The Black Shark King scolded, “Dammit, this time, I lost so many brothers but did not even get anything in return! Dammit, this is too much!”
As he said that, the Black Shark King began to tremble in anger as though he was going to go crazy. As the other demonic beasts saw that, they finally understood what was going on and could only lower their heads helplessly.
At this moment, 3rd brother suddenly asked, “Big brother, don’t tell me we are going to let this matter rest just like that?”
“What else can we do?” The Black Shark King said helplessly, “That Eagle King is a bitch, and is also someone extremely difficult to handle. If we do not have the corpse of that darn fatty, she would definitely not agree?”
“Then why not we wait around the Bewildering Ocean?” 3rd brother suddenly said, “It is said that everyone who entered the Bewildering Ocean has died but some of their corpses would float out. Perhaps that darn fatty is also the case?”
“En! That makes sense!” The Black Shark King nodded and said, “Then let the brothers spread out and guard the areas surrounding the Bewildering Ocean. No matter who finds the corpse of that darn fatty, I would definitely reward him heavily!”
“Yes!” The demonic beasts all responded and spread out quickly. As for the Black Shark King, he found a quiet sea cave and nursed his injuries with a few of his brothers guarding him.
Needless to say, SongZhong only woke up three days later. When he opened his eyes to take a look, he realised that he was on the surface of the ocean with a white fog surrounding him. This white fog was extremely creepy, and SongZhong was only able to see a thousand feet even with his powerful eyesight. However, the scariest part about the fog was that it restricted one’s spiritual sense. With SongZhong’s cultivation of a middle foundational stage, he would be able to easily sweep tens of kilometres with his spiritual sense. But, he was not even able to extend his spiritual Qi past 250 metres now, as though there was an unknown force suppressing it.
“Dammit! What kind of a damn place is this?” SongZhong could not help but ask. But, even this ordinary sentence of his made him extremely uncomfortable, coughing incessantly with blood at the corner of his lips.
Seeing how his injuries were so severe, SongZhong did not know whether to laugh or cry. The battle three days ago was the most brutal battle ever since he began cultivating. However, it was also the most refreshing battle. Now that he thought about it, he became extremely excited, itching to go for another round.
As SongZhong thought about all of that, he took out a Red Palm Elixir to consume as well. At the same time, he thought to himself, “Hehe, thankfully Daoist HuoLong used old devil Feng to exchange for this treasure. If not, I will be in big trouble for sure!”
At this moment, one of the demonic witches said in embarrassment, “Reporting to master, we also do not know where this place is.”
“Then how did you guys come in?” SongZhong could not help but ask.
“We followed the direction at which you pointed to and flew here!” The demonic witch replied helplessly.”
“Really?” SongZhong was first stunned. Then, he said with a bitter laughter, “I was so groggy back then and just pointed to a random direction! Dammit, if I had known, I should have just asked all of you to return home. Why did I have to point at a random direction?”
Although SongZhong was extremely regretful, there was no medicine for regret in this world. Helpless, he can only maintain a positive attitude, taking out the map which Huo ** game him. Following which, he asked the nine beauties the direction they were flying in and quickly figured out their location.
But the moment he estimated his location, SongZhong was immediately frightened out of his skin. This place was circled out in red with a special marking made on it. It was the ‘Bewildering Ocean with no escape’ and one must not enter into it!
“F**k!” As SongZhong saw the map, he let out a bitter cry. Then, he lamented, “My goodness, just what sins did I commit in my previous life? Why am I so unlucky? First, I met the Eagle King. Then, I met the Black Shark King. After escaping from them, I entered the Bewildering Ocean! How am I going to survive like that?”
Seeing SongZhong act like that, the nine beauties were alarmed as one of the demonic witches hurriedly asked, “Master, Master, what’s wrong?”
“What’s wrong? I’m going to die!” SongZhong replied with depression, “This is the Bewildering Ocean, and it is famous for ‘entry without escape’! It is an infamous place in the Eastern Ocean! Why are we so unlucky? A random direction which I pointed in leads me here. Aren’t we going to die for sure?”
