War of Expansion (20)

Chaotic Sea.

Every One Sexagenary Cycle, a Cold Tide arrives, causing a sharp drop in temperature in the northern part of the Chaotic Sea. Various Sea Beast and fish migrate to warmer areas in the Ocean, bringing with them a large amount of Water Attribute resources hidden deep in the seabed.

Therefore, during this period, various Water Attribute resources will be extremely abundant, and there will be no need to go into the deep Ocean to hunt or search, as Sea Beast mammals will continuously bring all kinds of resources to the door.

Of course, opportunities often come with risks. The Sea Beast Tide certainly contains a lot of benefits, whether it is the flesh, scales, Inner Core of spirit fish, or Water Attribute Spirit Materials and spirit medicines, all of which can be obtained in large quantities.

However, if one's strength is insufficient, one will be overwhelmed by the waves of Sea Beast. It should be noted that the Sea Beast Clans is not a fat sheep to be slaughtered at will.

The powerful beings among them are even capable of swallowing Sage Manifestation powerhouse.

However, those terrifying sea monsters are not affected by mere Cold Tide waves. They usually slumber in the depths of the sea, and as their strength increases, they sometimes naturally come into contact with the Ascension Great Dao and go to the upper realm.

Therefore, even the most powerful intelligence network in the Lu Wu Realm is unable to ascertain the exact number of powerful sea monsters lurking beneath the vast ocean.

That said, because every Cold Tide hides huge profits, a large number of small forces spring up rapidly after each Cold Tide.

Many forces will perish as a result, leaving behind only a desolate Island for future generations to discover and conquer.

Coiled Snake Island!

Decades later, this snake-like Island has nearly doubled in size, and the number of Mortal living on it has long exceeded 100,000, some of whom reproduced naturally, and others who migrated from other Islands.

Relying on their large population base, as well as the 150 clansmen that Yang Xuanwu had brought back from Purple Moon Mountain, they were able to achieve this.

The number of Cultivators in the Yang Household of Coiled Snake Island has now exceeded five hundred.

Among them are three Golden Core Cultivators, thirty-five Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and the rest are Qi Refining cultivators.

With the arrival of the Cold Tide and the start of the hunting festival, the Yang Household Cultivators were divided into three teams, each led by Golden Core Cultivator.

One team guarded the Lineage, while the other two teams went out hunting, sweeping away Sea Beast from the surrounding Islands.

On a tiny Island, a Third-Tier Flying Boat hovered in the air. Its massive hull exuded a powerful aura, and attacks flew out from it, repelling the surging Sea Beast Tide below.

Then, five teams of Cultivators flew out of the Flying Boat, each team consisting of ten people led by Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and began to sweep away the remaining Sea Beasts and loot the spoils of war.

Yang Xuanwu, the pillar of stability, sat upright in the center of the Flying Boat, closing his eyes to rest.

His primary task was to protect the Lineage's hunting party.

When necessary, participate in the hunting of Sea Beasts of the Third Tier and above.

Normally, they only need to cultivate inside the Flying Boat and do not need to participate in low-level hunting operations.

After all, if he did everything, what would be the point of the Lineage supporting so many clansmen?

A Lineage can never be sustained by just a few High-Rank Cultivators.

Its foundation will always be those seemingly ordinary, yet most important, ordinary people.

Inside the Flying Boat, Yang Xuanwu closed his eyes, with the Bodhi Enlightenment Tower above his head, immersing seven-tenths of his mind in the "Four Symbols Sacred Scripture," comprehending this exquisite cultivation Cultivation Method.

Suddenly, a powerful and domineering aura came from afar, startling Yang Xuanwu, who was paying attention to the outside world.

His eyes, brimming with fierce battle intent, slowly opened. Within his pupils, it seemed as if two furnaces were burning fiercely, and the phantom images of the Four Symbols flashed by in an instant.

In an instant, his gaze swept across ten miles, landing on the enormous Sea Beast that was slowly walking towards the center of the Island, its body wading through the seawater.

This is a giant sea turtle, about twelve zhang tall and more than twenty zhang long, with a dark brown shell on its back covered with sharp bony protrusions that gleam with black light.

Its head was ferocious, with three spiraling horns on top, its pupils were cloudy and lifeless, and hundreds of closely packed sharp teeth could be seen when its mouth opened and closed.

"Iron-Spiked Sea Turtle?"

Yang Xuanwu murmured to himself, feeling that something was amiss, especially when he saw those lifeless and cloudy tortoise eyes; this feeling grew even stronger.

"Fine, let's kill them first. If they have someone backing them..." Waves surged in his mind.

Yang Xuanwu stood up, and with a flick of his right hand, the Four Symbols Sacred Spear appeared in his palm. The slightly cool touch cleared his Shen Yi, eliminating all distracting thoughts!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The Iron-Spiked Sea Turtle trod the ground, walking step by step towards the center of the Island.

The members of the Yang Household hunting team naturally spotted the huge creature, but no one dared to touch it.

The aura emanating from the opponent had reached the Golden Core Level, which was beyond their ability to handle.

"Quickly inform the Second Elder that a Golden Core Sea Beast has appeared!!" An older cultivator said to the younger cultivator beside him.

The latter did not respond, but pointed to the sky behind him, his eyes filled with intense worship and fervor.

As everyone looked, they saw Yang Xuanwu holding his Long Spear upside down, walking through the air.

A strong sea breeze swept by, causing his clothes to flutter and his black hair to fly. His handsome face was devoid of joy or sorrow, except for his pair of burning, captivating eyes.

Thump!!

Without uttering a single wasted word, the Long Spear suddenly expanded, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long object, and crashed down from above with tremendous force!

The howling wind swept across the clouds on the horizon, and a faint smell of the sea mingled with the vast spiritual Spiritual Qi.

The Long Spear, like a dragon, roars in all directions!

The immense pressure brought the Iron-Spiked Sea Turtle to a standstill.

It then tucked its limbs in and retracted its head, leaving only its shell exposed.

The dense, black spikes on its back emitted an inky light, instantly coalescing into a thick defensive shield.

Bang!!

Long Spear crashed down, the four elemental forces intertwined, forming an incomparably powerful aura of destruction.

The protective shield shattered at the slightest touch, the iron spikes broke, and the tortoise shell exploded with cracks!

With just one strike, this Sea Beast, renowned for its defense, was already injured.

Yang Xuanwu, seizing the advantage, pressed his Long Spear and swung his spear down again.

The ferocious attack made the three Golden Core Evil Cultivators hiding in the shadows twitch their eyelids.

A thin, weasel-faced young Evil Cultivator dressed in brown clothes watched with heartache as Yang Xuanwu brutally beat the Iron-Spiked Sea Turtle.

He had only managed to control this sea turtle using Secret Art; if it were killed here, it would be a huge loss.

"Brother Tang, are we really going to fight this guy? His combat strength is quite formidable!" another Evil Cultivator said in a low voice, his words filled with fear.

"What's there to be afraid of? No matter how strong he is, he's only at the Early Golden Core realm. I'm at the Middle Golden Core realm, and I have Upper-Grade Law Treasure in hand. Killing him is just a piece of cake," the last Evil Cultivator said with a disdainful smile.

This man was the leader of the three Evil Cultivators. His surname was Tang. He was burly and broad-shouldered, with dark red and black lines running across his skin, vaguely resembling a fierce tiger roaring at the sky.
