Chapter 1325: Chapter 1326: Godzilla Approaches the Southern Continent

The farce on the Western Continent had come to an end, and the cultivators of the various Super Sects heaved a sigh of relief, each leaving with their own thoughts.

They had arrived using Formations, and naturally, they were leaving through Formations as well. With Xueshenzi still on the Southern Continent, their Sects could face danger at any moment. Despite the fear in their hearts, they had to return.

However, what truly made them feel conflicted was the tribute for the Villain’s Guild. Li Xiaobai had never explicitly stated how much tribute was needed, which meant they had to decide for themselves, risking giving either too much or too little.

Giving too much could burden and hurt the Sect financially; giving too little and Li Xiaobai would not accept it. Thus, the amount of tribute to be given was a matter worthy of contemplation.

Meanwhile.

On the other hand, in the coastal regions of the Southern Continent.

Waves towered into the sky and crashed against the shore as if a terrible horror had occurred at the sea’s bottom, countless Demonic Beasts of the Sea Clan rushed to the surface, fleeing chaotically. Not only were there weak beasts of a low Immortal realm, but also numerous beasts of the Half-Saint Realm, which began to swarm towards the shore in a frenzy, attempting to come ashore.

On the mainland of the Southern Continent, many cultivators witnessed this scene. The events of the Western Continent had not yet spread, and these cultivators were unaware, only knowing that the Blood Demon Sect had set out to attack the Buddhist Sects.

“What is that?”

“This is the nearshore, close to the ports of the Southern Continent, where Sea Clan Demonic Beasts almost never appear. Even if they do, it’s only a small cat or two occasionally. How could so many Sea Clan Demonic Beasts burst forth all at once?”

“Could it be that they’re seizing the opportunity while the Blood Demon Sect and the other Great Sects of the Southern Continent are away to invade our Southern Continent?”

The cultivators looked anxious, their eyes wide as they stared at the coastline, feeling that their speculation could very well be correct. With all the Super Sects of the Southern Continent having dispatched their troops to support Wuyuzi and others within the territory of the Western Continent Buddha Nation, and the Blood Demon Sect leading their Sect Disciples out in full force to seize the Buddha Sects.

The Southern Continent could be considered virtually empty now. It wasn’t unreasonable for the Sea Clan to come over at such a critical time; there must have been premeditation.

“No, look at those Sea Clan Demonic Beasts. Their movements are random, even chaotic. It doesn’t seem to be a premeditated, organized action but more like they’re fleeing for their lives!”

A cultivator furrowed his brow and immediately pointed out.

“Hiss!”

A colossal black serpent shot out from the sea and leapt into the port, frantically fleeing. With a flick of its tail, all encountered Sea Clan Demonic Beasts were torn in half by it in a blink of an eye, including many of the Half-Holy Level ferocious beasts, which were slain in just one encounter.

“Holy shit, that’s a Saint Realm Demonic Beast, the Black Water Mysterious Snake! Isn’t that a terrifying creature that lives in the deep-sea regions? Why has it appeared here?”

An elder cultivator recognized the giant serpent and without a second word, ran away with their Disciples.

It was the Black Water Mysterious Snake, a king among the aquatic beasts, usually residing in the deepest parts of the sea, rarely seen surfacing even once in hundreds of years. It would not come ashore unless disturbed by something significant, and from its panicked, frenzied rushing, it was clearly escaping. What kind of terrifying creature could make such a top predator from the deep sea flee in fright?

“As you can see, it does look somewhat panicked, as if it’s afraid of something, as though there’s something chasing it?”

“What’s that sound you all are hearing?”

On the mainland, cultivators from various Sects remaining behind watched the towering waves at the coast with a sense of unease, but soon a loud thumping sound reached their ears. It was the sound of footsteps, and they were getting louder, closer, as if some massive creature was approaching step by step.

“Roar!”

Just as everyone hesitated, a terrifying roar from the heavens above thundered, and figures of black rose to their feet, reaching to the sky. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and swirling vortexes of fire danced, evaporating a vast expanse of seawater.

“Is this also a Sea Clan Demonic Beast?”

“Never seen it before, could it be a king among the Sea Clan?”

“Damn, I knew it! The Sea Clan Demonic Beasts are taking advantage of the chaos to invade. The ones that fled earlier were just small fry; this is the real big shot! Demonic Beasts are coming to occupy our human lands, hurry back to your respective Sects and families to report!”

The cultivators, upon seeing this scene, shook their forms and without a word, began to run for their lives.

They had never seen such a terrifying beast, but its ferocious and raging demeanor made it clear that it meant no good. And if even the Saint Realm Demonic Beast, Black Water Mysterious Snake, was fleeing, what reason did they have not to run?

Change was coming; the Demonic Beasts would soon launch a large-scale attack on the Southern Continent. With no powerhouses to defend it, their fate seemed grim.

On the coastline.

One by one terrifying beasts came ashore, striding through the buildings directly towards the Blood Demon Sect, their time was running short and they needed to quickly ascertain the true identity of Xueshenzi.

“Roar!”

The lead Godzilla roared, detecting the trace of Blood Demon Sect. This Demon Path leader was too easy to detect, the sheer amount of Blood Qi underscoring the cliffs was unparalleled, a clear sign of a Demon Sect where death was commonplace.

In the void, dark clouds clustered densely, the power of thunder covered the area, instantly enveloping that small mountain valley.

In the void, countless cultivators stopped to watch as one terrifying beast after another landed on the coast, almost filling the route from the port to the Blood Demon Sect, a massive dark and pressing swarm under the overcast sky.

They couldn’t imagine where these Demonic Beasts had come from, all they remembered was that the Saint Realm Demonic Beast Black Water Mysterious Snake had to flee at the sight of these creatures, and at this moment, there were more than two hundred such terrifying beasts.

How could they possibly cope with this?

Would they be able to muster up two hundred Saint Realm cultivators in the Southern Continent?

“It seems that they are targeting the Blood Demon Sect?”

“As the forefront of the Demon Path, it is natural to be targeted. However, even the Sea Clan couldn’t likely pull off such a feat. Where did these Demonic Beasts come from?”

The cultivators watched as one terrifying beast after another leaped from the cliffs, then disappeared from sight.

“This is not something we can know. We must quickly contact the Sect Elders and higher-ups. Report the situation here and let them make a decision!”

…

Within the Blood Demon Sect.

The Blood Qi surged, and the entire Sect was shrouded in a layer of blood-colored fog. The place was vast and now seemed eerily empty, as every single disciple of the Blood Demon Sect had gone to war and none had returned, leaving the whole Sect plunged into a strange silence.

The Godzillas looked around, beginning their search for Xueshenzi’s whereabouts.

What they did not know was that dozens of eyes were secretly watching them…
