Chapter 1160: Chapter 940: Confronting the Enemy at Sea

Somewhere in the rarely traveled Mediterranean, a gathering of powerful figures assembled.

These individuals included those from Xuanwu Imperial: True Monarch Tong Xue’er, Second Rank Shi Cheng, and Third Rank Tian Hui.

The Mediterranean’s previously calm ocean surface was now tumultuous, waves reaching the skies!

Endless Earth Qi gathered madly, until a certain moment when accompanied by the sound of dragon roars, an overwhelming Star Power Essence whirled madly to the surroundings!

”Dragon Vein!” Tian Hui’s eyes brightened, ”True Monarch, it really is a Dragon Vein!”

Tong Xue’er laughed, ”I knew it, my luck has always been superbly unbeatable!”

Then, with a raise of her hand, a more than ten-zhang-long dragon-shaped crystal pillar landed before her.

The Pulse Stabilizing Pillar, originally weighing dozens of tons, was effortlessly held by Tong Xue’er.

Tong Xue’er flicked it with her fingertips, and the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar flew up like a feather.

”Shi Cheng, set the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar down.”

”Yes, True Monarch.”

The nearby Xuanwu Imperial Second Rank Shi Cheng immediately flew forward, activated the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar, and directly thrust it into the sea.

Before long, with the activation of the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar, the entire calm sea surface shook violently.

Then, as if parting the sea, centered around the Dragon Vein and Pulse Stabilizing Pillar, the ocean water spread out in all directions!

Thousands of meters deep ocean appeared like a cliff waterfall, looking extremely magnificent.

With the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar in place, Tong Xue’er turned her gaze northward, adopting a more serious expression.

Unlike the Gora Mountain Range and other areas, the Mediterranean is naturally farther north and one of the most likely places for Dragon Vein emergence, hence most top experts of Xuanwu Imperial gathered here.

Though it’s unclear what Qiguang is planning, they certainly won’t stand idly by.

Tong Xue’er said, ”Tian Hui, set up the Array!”

”Yes!”

Tian Hui responded and immediately took out the Array Plate, leading the many Burning Sun Experts of Xuanwu Imperial to form the array.

Soon, blue seawater around the Dragon Vein quickly muddied to yellow, and a Yellow River Formation stood upright on the ocean in an instant!

A Seventh Level Array... Little Nine Curves Yellow River Formation!

Shi Cheng and Tian Hui together led the members of Xuanwu Imperial to manipulate the formation.

Tong Xue’er quietly sat in the void, contemplating:

”With the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar set down, other places should also receive news.

If everything goes smoothly, it’s fine, but if the situation looks grim...

The rainforest on the right side has Qilin Imperial’s Jiang Lan Second Rank and Yang Ming Third Rank.

The Gora Mountain Range at the left rear has White Tiger Imperial’s He Xianyin Second Rank and Vermilion Bird Imperial’s Su Yuan Third Rank...”

Tong Xue’er pondered for a while, then calmed her mind, closed her eyes, and quietly adjusted her state.

Since Little Nine Curves Yellow River Formation has been set up, they opted for defense and need not explore further outside.

...

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed, and suddenly, Tian Hui within the array opened his eyes.

Tian Hui looked toward the distance and saw a group of several people seemingly approaching from afar.

”Something’s up!”

Tian Hui shouted, and everyone in the array heightened their vigilance.

Tong Xue’er slowly opened her eyes, gazing ahead.

Five people in total, two wore Truth Uniforms, the other three seemed like attendants but also had Three Suns Realm cultivation.

The Truth Knight on the left was a tall young man, while the other was a blonde, blue-eyed noble male...

None other than Tisa, directing the group including Jack.

”[Strength] Taiger and... [Destiny Plate] Tisa!”

Her gaze settled on Tisa, Tong Xue’er slightly narrowed her eyes.

A month or two ago, the Sky Patrol Department saw the second fallen Third Rank.

Azure Dragon Imperial’s Third Rank Wang Wei, during Dragon Vein Phenomenon’s investigation task, was killed by Destiny Plate Tisa!

At that time, accompanying Wang Wei was Qilin Imperial’s Third Rank, former top disciple of Zicheng Mountain, Yang Ming.

And according to Shi Cheng, even how Wang Wei was killed was unknown!

”Seems like quite a powerful barrier...” the leading Taiger observed the Little Nine Curves Yellow River Formation, ”Tisa, I can’t decipher the barrier. Might require you to break it.”

Tisa assessed the formation below, speaking calmly, ”Arman, give it a try.”

”Yes, Lord Tisa!”

Behind Tisa, a male knight in magnificent armor named Arman responded, immediately soaring down to the Little Nine Curves Yellow River Formation.

Arman surveyed the sight, only seeing the swirling turbulent yellow river enveloping the central Dragon Vein and Xuanwu Imperial members.

Unable to discern more, he would use power to break through!

Arman unsheathed his longsword, holding it high overhead:

”Star Dust Sword!”

The sky dimmed, suddenly star lights twinkled across the day sky, cascading onto Arman’s sword, forming a giant Star Light Pillar reaching the skies.

”Ultimate Starlight Slash!”

Arman gripped the sword with both hands, suddenly slashing at the hovering Yellow River in the formation!

”Boom!!”

The sword light blasted, star light dazzled, slicing the Yellow River waters, devastating with unparalleled force!

Though the Seventh Level Array wasn’t simple, Yellow River swiftly eroded the sword light, and the cut part quickly healed again.

”Still want to heal?”

Seeing this, Arman immediately transformed into a streak of star light and darted before the Yellow River.

He raised his longsword, and the star light in the sky exploded brightly, causing even more star light to cascade down.

”Star Explosion Slash!”

Arman swung his sword quickly, releasing countless bursts of star light that cut through the Yellow River water, preventing it from closing and gradually breaking it apart!

”Blast!”

The star light flourished as Arman’s final sword strike thoroughly pierced through the raging Yellow River!

But at this moment, the scene shifted, as endless muddy water surged forward, once again transforming into a mighty river blocking the way.

From the power it wielded, it was even stronger than the previous Yellow River!

”Again?”

Arman’s expression changed slightly. He wanted to look up at the expressions of Tian Hui and the Xuanwu Imperial within the formation, but all he could see was the overwhelming Yellow River, obscuring everyone else.

Just then, a massive hand formed from the muddy water of the Yellow River surged forward, aiming to strike Arman!

Though surprised, Arman remained calm, his sword blazing with star light as he slashed at the Yellow River hand.

In the next moment, Arman’s whole body shook, feeling as though he had struck a mountain head-on, his chest heaving with turbulent blood as he involuntarily groaned.

”Such strong Water Power!” Arman was mildly shocked.

Yet the sword of star light had unparalleled power, shattering the Yellow River hand amidst a roar.

When Arman turned around, he found himself surrounded by the twisted Yellow River waters, unable to discern any directions, let alone find a retreat!

”Not good, this barrier also has confusing powers!”

Realizing this, Arman barely had time to investigate further before seeing the Yellow River water around him churning, producing numerous Yellow River hands identical to the previous one, all coming towards him!

”Damned...!” Arman’s face darkened abruptly, raising his left hand to his chest, ”Star Giant!”

The Cross Holy Light flourished, and endless star currents surged into the sky!

In an instant, a dazzling Star Giant, bearing a pentacle, appeared in the scene.

It was the True Form Release!

The Star Giant waved a hand, releasing a star that flew out, striking the Yellow River hand with resplendent star light!

”Boom boom boom...!”

The star light roared continuously, its mighty power shattering all the approaching Yellow River hands.

Until finally, the Star Giant clapped its hands, sending a large star flying straight ahead, smashing onto the Yellow River water.

In a flash, the star light blazed, the Spirit Light soared to the heavens, and with a ”boom,” it broke the Yellow River!

Taking advantage before the Yellow River waters could heal, the Star Giant Arman transformed into sneered and jumped in!

But when crossing this Yellow River, he saw another mighty Yellow River winding ahead...

Arman’s expression turned completely grim!

...

Outside, Taiger and others watched the constantly explosion of the star light inside the formation.

”He’s already in True Form Release, doesn’t bode well...” Taiger, arms crossed, turned his head to look at Tisa, ”You sensed ’misfortune’ when he rushed up earlier, didn’t you? Why didn’t you stop him then?”

Tisa’s eyes seemed to have red light moving in a certain trajectory. Hearing Taiger’s words, she said expressionlessly:

”Stopping him, how would you break this barrier then?”

Taiger’s expression stiffened, asking, ”Is this barrier very strong?”

Tisa slowly said, ”This barrier is simple yet extraordinary, hard to understand completely, even I might not be able to get out after going in.”

Taiger clicked his tongue, ”It’s said Arman of the Astrea Family sought you out due to his admiration for you.”

”And now, it’s time for him to demonstrate his value.” Tisa’s expression was indifferent.

The maid behind Tisa heard this and stiffened her expression.

However, the mature silver-haired butler in a suit next to her remained unfazed.

As Arman ventured deeper, completely out of view, only the faint explosions of the star light were visible.

After a long time, the commotion within the Great Formation subsided.

The star light dissipated, and the roaring ceased.

The maid and middle-aged butler changed expressions, knowing that Arman was dead.

But none of them, nor Taiger beside them, disturbed.

Because Tisa’s eyes tracked movements faster and faster, until finally, she reached out and placed her hand on Taiger’s shoulder.

In an instant, the gold light behind Tisa flourished, and a golden shadow of the Divine Balance appeared, as if something was tilting towards Taiger.

”Go, Taiger,” Tisa said.

Taiger said puzzled, ”What do you mean? I don’t understand anything about barriers.”

Tisa replied, ”No need to understand, this barrier, your strength alone is sufficient.”

”I can go alone. Aren’t you going to explain to me? I’m clueless now.”

”No need, just go, destiny will guide you.”

”Won’t die, right?” Taiger uncertainly asked.

Tisa said, ”I don’t know if you’ll die in the dragon vein contention, but you won’t die breaking this barrier.”

”Very well.”

Hearing Tisa say this, Taiger relaxed.

No more questions, he flew swiftly toward the Yellow River Formation...
