The instant Gu Changqing took a step forward, an extraordinary phenomenon erupted.
The river had been relatively calm, but the moment Gu Changqing entered the Huai River's domain, it boiled up as though stirred by an invisible giant hand.
Rumble...
Rumble...
A muffled rumbling rose from the depths, as though some ancient beast were awakening.
So loud, so deep, so earthshaking was the sound that even the clouds high above were scattered, exposing vast stretches of sky.
Then.
Whoosh...
An enormous wave surged skyward, a thousand zhang high, blotting out the sun and sky!
That wave held incomparably vast water Laws. Every drop of spray seemed to weigh a thousand jun, bearing terrifying might capable of crushing a Daluo Golden Immortal.
But this was only the beginning.
One enormous wave after another rose from every part of the Huai River, surrounding Gu Changqing from front and back, left and right, in every direction.
Each wave was higher, fiercer, and more violent than the last.
A thousand zhang, two thousand zhang, five thousand zhang, ten thousand zhang...
Within a few short breaths, the entire Huai River seemed to have been overturned.
The river waters rolled backward, and towering waves filled the sky. Within a radius of ten thousand li, there was nothing but an ocean of watery curtains.
The aquatic beings who had been cultivating in the Huai River were already scared out of their wits, fleeing desperately into the distance without daring to look back.
"Heavens! What's happening?!"
"Why has the Huai River suddenly become like this? Has that overlord of the waters flown into a rage?"
"Run! Any later, and it'll be too late!"
"Hiss... what a terrifying aura. This is absolutely not something we can afford to get caught up in."
Countless aquatic beings fled for their lives
