Give Me-Hold On!!!

Lin Xia's voice was no longer a roar, but a deep, majestic, and seemingly resonant command that echoed the ocean!

As he shouted, the mark between his eyebrows shone brightly and spread out instantly.

It's no longer the invisible field of perception it once was; it has solidified into a tangible form!

A massive, semi-transparent, deep blue energy shield with flowing water ripples expanded instantly around Lin Xia, enveloping all six people tumbling in the air— Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and himself!

The timing of the protective shield was absolutely perfect; it appeared just before the destructive water curtain composed of billions of dark blue water arrows was about to engulf everyone!

Ding ding ding ding--!!!!

In the next instant, an indescribably dense explosion, like thousands of metals clashing, resounded wildly across the surface of the deep blue shield!

Each drop of water arrow, imbued with terrifying kinetic energy and Soul Power, Tackle the shield formed by the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, bursting forth with dazzling blue light.

The shield's surface resembled a lake where a boulder had been thrown in; violent ripples spread and vibrated wildly, and the entire shield visibly undulated and deformed, as if it were about to collapse at any moment!

"Ugh!"

Lin Xia let out a muffled groan, her body trembling violently.

His face turned pale instantly, and a trickle of blood even spilled from the corner of his mouth.

As the core and support of the shield, the terrifying impact of the billions of water arrows, along with the nearly million-year-old berserk Soul Power of the Demon Whale King contained within them, was like billions of heavy hammers, piercing through the shield and slamming hard into his mind and body!

Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is miraculous and can control the power of the ocean, Lin Xia's current cultivation level is far too far behind that of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!

He was like a child, Sheer Force wielding the shield of a god to withstand the full force of Tai Tan's attack!

The shield itself may be indestructible, but a child's strength is insufficient to fully control it, let alone withstand the terrifying force of the recoil!

Those inside the protective shield felt an overwhelming force slamming into it. It was as if they were stuffed into a giant bell being relentlessly hammered, their internal organs feeling like they were about to shift, their eardrums throbbing, and their heads spinning.

But what terrified them even more was the condition of the shield itself.

After withstanding the first wave of the most concentrated water arrows, the deep blue shield of light showed fine, Spider Web -like cracks on its surface!

Furthermore, these cracks are spreading and expanding at a visible rate under the relentless bombardment of subsequent water jets!

"Lin Xia!"

Hu Liena gasped in shock, her heart breaking at the sight of the bloodstains at the corner of Lin Xia's mouth and her deathly pale face.

"Hang in there!"

Yan's eyes Red, his fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms.

He hated himself for being so powerless at this moment, only able to watch helplessly as Lin Xia bore this devastating blow alone.

Xie Yue clenched his teeth, and the Moon Blade finally materialized in his hand, but he didn't know how to wield it.

Attack that water curtain?

It's like an ant trying to shake a tree!

Attack the Demon Whale King?

That's pure fantasy!

A ruthless glint flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes. Her dark green Soul Power condensed into a highly concentrated point of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison at her fingertips. However, she hesitated. Could this poison Infiltrator the water curtain and harm the Demon Whale King?

Could it Corrosion the protective shield that Lin Xia is struggling to maintain?

Ye Lingling, disregarding everything, pushed the healing light of the Nine Heart Begonia to its limit. The soft white light, like a warm stream, flowed continuously towards Lin Xia's back.

She could clearly feel the intense depletion and shock of Lin Xia's Soul Power and mental energy. Although her treatment could not replenish what he had lost, it was trying to soothe the internal injuries caused by the violent impact and stabilize his faltering breath.

"Click... click..."

A sickening cracking sound emanated from the shield. The Spider Web -like cracks multiplied and deepened, and the shield's light dimmed at an alarming rate, as if it might shatter completely at any moment, just like the Sea Demon!

Lin Xia's body trembled even more violently, and blood kept spilling from the corner of her mouth, dripping onto her clothes and staining them with a glaring red.

He felt his spiritual power pouring out like a floodgate being opened, and his Soul Power was being drained away. His body felt as if it were about to be crushed by the boundless pressure.

The mark of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was as hot as a branding iron, conveying the ocean's anger and lament, as well as the invincible and terrifying will of the Demon Whale King.

He gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing with blue light, filled with an indomitable will and madness.

He knew that once the protective shield broke, everyone would suffer the same fate as Haider and the Sea Demon, reduced to dust! He couldn't retreat! He couldn't fall!

"Hold on!!!"

Lin Xia let out a beast-like roar from deep within his throat, squeezing out every bit of potential from his body, even burning his own spiritual power and frantically pouring it into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!

The blue light on the shield suddenly shone brightly for a moment, temporarily halting the spread of the cracks.

But this is undoubtedly a case of drinking poison to quench thirst!

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's only remaining, cold, enormous right eye seemed to flash with a hint of human mockery.

It seemed slightly surprised that this "little bug" could withstand its first wave of "Water Arrow Sky Curtain," but more than that, it was enraged by Taunt by an ant!

Its massive head rose slightly, and its enormous mouth slowly opened!

That was no ordinary opening of its mouth. With this action, an indescribable, terrifying suction force, seemingly capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, suddenly erupted from its enormous mouth, which resembled Abyss!

Hoo--woo-woo--!!!

In an instant, the world changed color!

The air, which had been thrown into chaos by the water arrows, was instantly pulled into visible streams of white air that surged wildly into the mouth of the Demon Whale King!

The surging seawater below formed a massive, despair-inducing whirlpool!

The center of the vortex was pitch black, unfathomably deep, and connected to the throat of the Demon Whale King!

The edge of the vortex spun rapidly, creating walls of waves tens of meters high, and emitting a deafening roar!

This suction force is far stronger than the previous sound waves and water arrows! It acts on space itself, creating a powerful spatial confinement and pulling force!

In mid-air, Lin Xia's Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud Shield, which she had been struggling to maintain, was instantly deformed like a candle in the wind in the face of this terrifying suction force, and plummeted rapidly toward the Abyss's gaping maw!

The cracks in the shield could no longer be contained, emitting a piercing wail like shattered glass, and large chunks of energy began to disintegrate and dissipate!

"No!!"

Hu Liena screamed as her body was pulled by the immense suction, almost escaping the protective shield.

With Xie Yue speed, Xie Yue grabbed her arm and gripped the inner wall of the shield with his other hand. He plunged his Moon Blade deep into the energy barrier, trying to stabilize his body, but he and the Moon Blade were dragged towards the giant mouth!
