Chapter 977: Southern Battle



Southern Sea

At the border of the Inner Sea and Outer Sea, blood mixed with seawater as the conflict

between Celestials and sea monsters persistently raged on for years. Sometimes, there would be all-out wars. At other times, they would have small skirmishes.

Today, the Celestials experienced their first unscheduled all-out war in years. The sea monsters' sudden aggression pushed them into high alert.

Bam..!

A humongous black whale full of battle scars, big and small, rammed into the silvery metal wall with gargantuan force, causing a seismic tremor to run along the crack-filled rocky ocean floor like a powerful pulse.

At the same time, high-tech hydro turrets on top of the long silver wall fired back at the agitated sea monsters indiscriminately. Each round of charged water zipped through the sea region like a blue beam of laser but punched like a railgun.

With each successful shot, the enormous sea monsters would stagger back and wince in pain and fury.

Suddenly, a Volcan Kraken's long, thick, and spiky tentacle whipped across the intense battlefield. Multiple high-tech hydro turrets were ripped away from the top wall in an instant. "We've just lost three T6 Hydro Turrets! We need immediate replacements!" cried a Celestial within the silver wall.

With the absent firepower of the three T6 Hydro Turrets, several Great Whales rammed into the battered silver wall while Ancient Megalodons sank their sharp teeth inside the dented areas.

Rip...!!

A hole was suddenly torn in the battle-torn wall, creating a large opening.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

The Rank 7 Volcan Kraken did not miss the opportunity to send one of its large, spiky tentacles through the open hole, catching a few unprepared Celestial soldiers and ripping them out of the silver wall.

"No-!!!" the abducted Celestial soldiers issued horrified screams.

With their meager Heaven Ascension Realm cultivation base, they could only become snacks for the great monster of the deep sea.

Needless to say, their fates were sealed.

This large silver wall was constructed after the first hundred years of conflict, not to keep the sea monsters out of the Inner Sea but to improve the defensive battles of the Celestial soldiers with lower cultivation bases.

"Why are the sea monsters so violent today?! I don't remember our side doing anything to piss them off like this! We need desperate backup! At this rate, the wall won't hold!"

"Section 13 has sustained too much damage! We need some Divine Star Realm experts to suppress the sea monsters in-Ahhhh! No, no, no-!!"

A Celestial soldier cried tragically as he became another victim of the Rank 7 Volcan Kraken's lightning-swift abducting tentacles. The behemoth sea beast didn't have the slightest interest in what little meat the Celestial soldier's body provided.

Crunch!

With a slight exertion, the Celestial soldier was crushed into a body of bloody seawater and mangled flesh before getting tossed into the far back line.

Countless famished Dark Triggerfish immediately rushed toward the Celestial corpse with rapacious appetites. Within seconds, not even a piece of bone was left behind in the area.

The surviving Celestial soldiers within the silver wall did not even have the heart to mourn their fallen comrade. They were only concerned about not becoming the Volcan Kraken's next victim.

Its death-gripping tentacles had filled them with infinite dread.

Just when the Celestials were about to face an irreparable breach in their defensive line, an intense golden light suddenly brightened up the dark ocean depths, forcing the sea monsters to turn their heads away and retreat.

These powerful creatures of the deep sea weren't used to such radiant light. Although it didn't hurt their eyes, it certainly caused them extreme discomfort.

"Wretched Creatures of the Deep, have you forgotten I am here?!" the Ocean Master thundered, holding up his illuminating silver trident that shined with golden aura.

"You see the Sea God's trident, yet do not submit! Who do you serve, if not I?! I am the rightful ruler of the Boundless Sea! The Sea God's trident is my legitimacy and authority! Submit to me and cease your meaningless struggles!"

"Your stubborn resistance has gone on for too long! Today, your rebelliousness must come to an end!" the Ocean Master roared, exerting the Conqueror's Aura within the Sea Warden's trident to the limits.

Hiss!

The mighty Sea Kings and Sea Emperors of the Deep Sea backed off into the darkness of the Outer Sea with their forces. Furious and displeased as they were, they could not fully resist the power of the Sea Warden's trident.

Even so, they refuse to acknowledge the False Sea God!

Meanwhile, the Celestial soldiers cheered in relief and celebration at the arrival of the Ocean Master. Witnessing the sea monsters' retreat lifted a huge weight off their shoulders.

"Do not relax your vigilance!" a Celestial commander in the Divine Star Realm barked at the Celestial soldiers, adding, "There is something wrong with the sea monsters today! I don't think they will give up so easily!"

"That's right! The sea monsters are unusually aggressive-Oh my god!" Everyone, watch out!!"

The Celestial soldiers stared in horror as a colossal earthen plate hurled towards their silver wall.

The overlords of the deep sea had actually worked together to tear off an alarming piece of the ocean crust and used it to attack from a distance. The enormous earthen plate moved slowly, but it carried immense weight and power.

Even the Ocean Master, a Ninth-stage Divine Star Realm expert, didn't dare to take the hurling plate head-on. The enormity of the object was beyond him.

Did a Rank 8 Deepsea Overlord join the battle?! That has never happened before!

Boom!

The earthen plate slammed into the silver wall heavily, creating an unprecedented tremor that rocked the ocean floor.

Although the earthen plate shattered into smaller pieces upon impact, the large metal wall was also ripped apart like thin paper. The powerful shockwave also knocked out countless

Celestials soldiers.

Some of their incapacitated bodies were quickly buried under the immense weight of the earth, while others were dragged out into the open by the strong ocean current.

"This... This terrible!"

Several survivors paled in horror after witnessing the aftermath of the destructive impact. This was the biggest defeat in the history of their Celestial Kingdom!
