Chapter 537 Aquatic Beasts Attack the Island (1/2)

News of the ten thousand foot aquatic beast had not been made public by the Chosens previously, fearing that it would cause alarm and panic. Only when all seven peaks were gathered on the island, was the information finally allowed to spread.

As the news spread, things unfurled like the Chosens had predicted. A giant commotion instantly erupted on the island, as countless disciples began to panic like victims of a disaster.

“My god, did I mishear? A ten thousand foot aquatic beast?!”

“Why is this happening. The previous time a ten thousand foot aquatic beast was a hundred years ago. I’ve heard that all seven peaks were ultimately wiped out that year!”

“We’re finished. A ten thousand aquatic beast is not something we can hope to resist!”

“Is all our hard work going to end up being wasted due to the ten thousand foot aquatic beast?”

“Don’t panic, the seven peaks were only eliminated a hundred years ago, because each peak was kicked out by one by one. But it’s different this time. The Chosens discovered the creature in advance, and gathered all of us here. As long as we work together, what can a ten thousand foot aquatic beast possibly do to us?!”

“That’s right, if we’re united, I refuse to believe that a ten thousand foot aquatic beast will take us all on!”

“If it dares to appear, the Chosens the seven peaks will surely subdue it!”

“……”

Similar conversations were held in every corner of the island. Fortunately, the Chosens and chief disciples were secretly guiding the conversations, preventing the morale of the disciples from crumbling. Instead, the fear of the ten thousand foot aquatic beast slowly began to unite the disciples of the various peaks.

They knew that if they did not join hands, no one would receive any benefits this time!

Of course, the main reason was still the presence of the Chosens, who were the greatest source of confidence in the hearts of the many disciples.

After all, the Chosens represented the strongest power amongst this generation of disciples.

Two days passed in a blink of an eye amidst this pressuring atmosphere.

When the third day arrived, nearly every disciple could clearly feel the Genesis Qi of the entire Genesis reservoir suddenly turn berserk at a certain moment.

Woo woo!

Sharp wails sounded across the island.

The ten Chosens and the chief disciples were currently standing on the tallest peak, their gazes peering towards the edge of the sea, where the waters seemed to be boiling.

They could faintly hear the roars of countless aquatic beasts.

Li Qingchan gravely watched this scene as she said, “There are countless aquatic beasts swarming towards us. They appear to be under the ten thousand foot aquatic beast’s command.”

“Tell the disciples to retreat into the boundary and take up their defensive positions. Kill any aquatic beast that manages to enter.”

As her voice faded, disciples immediately rushed off to spread her instructions. The disciples from all seven peaks quickly began to withdraw into the many boundaries in a nervous and orderly manner.

These boundaries had been constructed by the Spirit Rune Peak disciples led by Yaoyao and Ye Ge over the past two days.

Li Qingchan watched the various disciples retreat into the boundaries, before she turned towards Zhou Yuan and the rest of the chief disciples. “If any thousand foot aquatic beast appears, you guys will lead groups of elite purple sash disciples to kill them.”

A thousand foot aquatic beast was extremely powerful, and was not existence that a chief disciple could face alone. Hence, they needed to work together with others.

“As for us…” Li Qingchan’s gaze shifted towards Chu Qing, Kong Sheng and the rest of the Chosens as she took in a deep breath. “If the ten thousand foot aquatic beast appears, we’ll meet it with our full power.”

She paused for a moment, before she continued in an earnest voice, “We’re the last hope of the seven peaks. If we fail to defeat the beast, this Genesis reservoir ceremony shall end with all of us returning empty handed.”

“As Chosens, we get to enjoy the best cultivation resources, status and respect. And now, it’s time for us to play our part.”

Her beautiful face appeared cold and stern, but also gave off a certain heart-stirring charm.

The expressions of the other Chosens turned a little more solemn as they faintly nodded in silence.

They understood that all the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect were currently watching them.

Rumble! Rumble!

Not long after Li Qingchan gave the order, the waters around the island began to churn violently as enormous aquatic beasts of all shapes rose from the water with deafening roars.

So many that there was seemingly no end to them.

Around the island, fear rose on the faces of the disciples when they saw this.

It felt as if all of the aquatic beasts in the entire reservoir were currently gathered here, a rather terrifying line-up indeed.

Countless aquatic beasts broke out from the surface of the water, not stopping for even a split second as they charged towards the boundaries all over the island. Berserk Genesis Qi erupted, the beasts clearly intent on drowning the island.

Rumble!
