Boom boom boom—
From high above the horizon, bursts of deafening noise rang out without cease.
As the thunderous roars erupted, towering waves surged outward in every direction like cascading waterfalls.
In an instant, torrential rain blanketed the sky. Mountains and boulders were pierced clean through. Cities were reduced to rubble. Even the many cultivators who had positioned themselves outside the city were forced to retreat again and again, not daring to step any closer to the fray.
It was the Red Lizard. Its physical body had already merged perfectly with that martial technique, transforming it into a truly colossal creature — a sky-reaching behemoth.
Even the half-forged Ancestral Weapon had undergone a change, morphing into a blood-red monstrous beast resembling a demon, fighting side by side with it.
The beast formed by the half-forged Ancestral Weapon had no fixed form; its body shifted and morphed constantly. Yet those twin eyes, brimming with murderous intent, were enough to freeze one's blood with a single glance.
Its strength was nearly on par with the Red Lizard's.
Right now, the Red Lizard was practically unstoppable. It was driving Elder Liu Chengkun into a relentless retreat.
The strain was etched plainly across Elder Liu Chengkun's face.
Everyone could see that he wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.
"Imperial Forbidden Sacred Spirit Army!"
In this dire situation, Liu Chengkun suddenly roared and unleashed yet another Imperial Forbidden martial technique.
As the technique activated, a full eight thousand shimmering bodies of light shot forth — but they weren't aimed at the Red Lizard. Instead, they flew straight toward Chu Feng.
"Hah!!!"
As those luminous bodies drew near, they began to transform, taking the shape of soldiers three meters tall, clad in armor and wielding long spears.
Every one of these soldiers possessed the cultivation of a Ninth-grade Half Ancestor. The moment they appeared, they began a massacre against the Lu Yang Pavilion members who had surrounded Chu Feng.
In the blink of an eye, the Lu Yang Pavilion cultivators around Chu Feng could barely protect themselves. Those below the Ninth-grade Half Ancestor level had already been slain to the last.
"Chu Feng, run!!!"
And just then, a voice transmission reached Chu Feng's ears. It came from Liu Chengkun.
"You think you can let him go? You won't get the chance."
Seeing this, the Red Lizard let out a cold laugh. He had seen through Liu Chengkun's plan. With a thought, the blood-red beast formed by the half-forged Ancestral Weapon turned and hurtled toward Chu Feng.
Boom boom boom—
The blood-red beast broke free from the waves and bore down on Chu Feng. In its wake, the void itself turned blood-red, as though a reaper demon had come to claim Chu Feng's life.
Splash—
However, before the blood-red beast could reach Chu Feng, an enormous wall of ocean waves crashed down from behind it, engulfing and trapping the beast.
It turned out the waves had been summoned by Elder Liu Chengkun's half-forged Ancestral Weapon. Not only had the waves arrived, but the weapon itself had joined the battlefield. Now the two half-forged Ancestral Weapons were locked in combat with one another.
At that moment, Chu Feng's consciousness had just returned to his body. Seeing the scene before him, he couldn't help but be startled.
After releasing his half-forged Ancestral Weapon, the power of Liu Chengkun's Imperial Forbidden Ocean Tsunami had diminished significantly.
Yet even though the Red Lizard had also lost the support of its half-forged Ancestral Weapon, it remained as ferocious as ever. It was now closing in on Liu Chengkun — less than a hundred meters away.
"Haaaah!!!"
Liu Chengkun roared, gritting his teeth, and managed to empower the towering waves, barely managing to hold off the Red Lizard. But anyone watching could tell that he wouldn't be able to withstand this for long.
Pfft—
Suddenly, Liu Chengkun spat out a large mouthful of blood, staining the front of his robes.
This scene confirmed everyone's suspicions — Liu Chengkun truly could not hold on any longer.
"Chu Feng, run!!!" Liu Chengkun bellowed.
