Chapter 1811: Suppressing the Power of the Earth (2)
Qin Renyue asked with a smile, “Miss Conch, do you plan to place the Heaven Suppressing Pestle here?”
Conch nodded and said, “Before we parted, Seventh Senior Brother said that he wanted to place the Heaven Suppressing Pestles at places where the earth meets the shadow. I don’t really understand those things so he marked the place on a map for me. So it can’t be wrong. This is the place.”
“That’s unfortunate. It won’t be easy for us to drive these sea beasts away,” Qin Renyue said.
At this time, Bai Zhaoju said, “There’s no need to worry with me around.”
Everyone was filled with confidence. After all, the White Emperor, a divine emperor, was personally taking charge. Even the rebels from the Great Void would have to think twice about making a move. With this, the cultivators of the green lotus domain only had to focus on dealing with the fierce beasts.
Unexpectedly, Conch said to Bai Zhaoju, “Senior, please let me try.”
Bai Zhaoju looked at Conch and said, “You’re one of the Unholy One’s precious disciples. If anything goes wrong, how am I going to explain it to him?”
Conch said, “Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong. I’m confident.”
Then, Conch stepped forward resolutely.
Bai Zhaoju looked slightly troubled. After all, there was not only the Unholy One, but there was also Shang Zhang. However, he still said, “Very well. I’ll watch from the side.”
As the countless sea beasts approached, Conch flew out and sat in the air before she brought the Ten-Stringed Zither out.
As music rang from the zither, a large number of energy seals wreaked havoc in the air, killing the sea beasts that were slowly approaching.
......
Upon seeing this, Qin Renyue sighed, feeling rather inferior. “I’ve long heard that the tenth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion is skilled in music. Indeed, she’s extraordinary.”
Conch was already close to becoming a supreme being. She had also comprehended the Great Dao and the great law.
Let alone the others, the sea beasts that were beast emperors were no match for Conch at all.
The sea was dyed red with blood as carca.s.ses floated on the surface of the sea.
After stopping a wave of sea beasts, Conch put away the Ten-Stringed Zither and asked proudly, “What do you think?”
Bai Zhaoju nodded. “Not bad, not bad.”
“Then, I’m going to place the Heaven Suppressing Pestle in its position now. Senior, please protect me.”
“Go,” Bai Zhaoju said as he flew forward.
The tens of thousands of cultivators did not dare to breathe loudly as they looked at Bai Zhaoju in awe. There were very few cultivators in the world who had seen divine emperors. Now that one was in front of them, how could they not be in awe?
Conch brought the Heaven Suppressing Pestle out before she gently stroked it. She could feel the runes on it and sense its faint power.
“Seventh Senior Brother said that each Heaven Suppressing Pestle corresponds with each of the Pillars of Destruction… I should embed it into the earth now…” Conch muttered to herself
At the moment Conch finished examining the Heaven Suppressing Pestle, another wave of sea beasts began to approach again.
Bai Zhaoju looked over, raised his hand, and pushed it out.
Splas.h.!.+
The water splashed into the sky, forming a wall of water. Following that, it froze into an ice wall.
Everyone was filled with admiration.
“Thank you, senior,” Conch said as she landed on the ground. She looked around, and when the Heaven Suppressing Pestle began to thrum at a certain place, she quickly pushed it into the earth.
Boom!
As soon as the Heaven Suppressing Pestle made contact with the earth, its height and diameter grew by almost 10,000 feet.
Then, the world began to shake.
The cultivators watched in astonishment as the Heaven Suppressing Pestle slowly drilled into the ground.
Conch mobilized the great law and used its power to push the Heaven Suppressing Pestle into the ground as well.
Then, everyone saw a shocking scene. They saw streaks of light on the ground like spiderwebs, weaving a painting as they swiftly gathered around the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.
Suddenly…
Boom!
The ice wall shattered.
A powerful sea beast broke the ice wall and wasted no time in charging toward Conch at lightning speed.
“Saint slayer!”
Bai Zhaoju brought out three light disks and appeared in front of Conch in just a blink of an eye. The three light disks immediately sent the Saint slayer flying.
Boom!
The Saint slayer’s body was oval and long; it was little like a s.h.i.+p. Its body also seemed to flow with electric current. It looked rather ferocious.
Bai Zhaoju turned to Conch and asked, “Are you okay?”
“Yes,” Conch said as she flew up.
Bai Zhaoju followed suit.
“Why did a Saint slayer appear?!” Qin Renyue felt more and more incredulous.
“Perhaps, it’s due to the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. The gathering of energy here might have attracted it,” Bai Zhaoju said.
The Saint slayer fell back into the sea. It swam quickly, shocking everyone. It kept trying to get close to the Heaven Suppressing Pestle.
At this moment, Conch asked, “What do you want to do?”
Bubbling noises rang out. The Saint slayer seemed to be speaking.
After that, Conch said again, “That’s impossible. You can’t touch the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. Return to the sea. It’s not dangerous in the sea.”
Needless to say, Conch was unaware that the Great Maelstrom was stirring the wind and the clouds, causing the sea to become restless.
At this moment, loud splas.h.i.+ng noises rang in the air.
Conch saw countless sea beasts surfacing in the sea. They looked like a million-strong army.
Qin Renyue and the tens of thousands of cultivators behind him inhaled sharply upon seeing this.
Previously, the sea beasts had attached in waves so they could still deal with the sea beasts. However, how were they going to deal with so many sea beasts?
Conch flew up again and brought her Ten-Stringed Zither out. Her ten fingers plucked the strings, and music began to ring in the air.
The soundwave swept toward the sea, causing the sea beasts to pause in their movements.
Bai Zhaoju nodded. Considering the number of sea beasts, it would be best if they could force the sea beasts to retreat. After all, it would be difficult to kill all of the sea beasts.
Seeing that the sea beasts had stopped, Conch flew over and said, “The churning of the sea is only temporary. If you come ash.o.r.e, you’ll bring about an even greater disaster.”
The sea beasts roared thunderously.
Conch frowned and said, “No one can get close to the Heaven Suppressing Pestle. Otherwise, they’ll die.”
