Chapter 1186: Breaking Your Tortoise Shell


    Ao Lu chose for the decisive battle to take ce at night; he decided tounch a preemptive attack.


    If he did not attack, the human army would kill all the low-level demons. Since the decisive battle was going toe sooner orter, he might as well attack first; he could then choose the best time and ce for the attack to take ce.


    Tens of millions of demons were lying in wait at the deepest parts of the sea, not emitting any noise or aura at all. Of course, many Demon Sovereigns were clear that their movements were being tracked by the formidable martial artists of the human race; it was near impossible tounch a sneak attack.


    Just above the seafor a five thousand kilometers area, it was covered with thickyers of ice; snow was also falling heavily from the sky. The temperature was frightening cold. However, all the human troops were inside the Heaven Fate Ships; and with the ships shields, the temperature was still bearable. Furthermore, all that hade were Heaven Monarchs; the cold was still tolerable.


    The North Thearch andpany indeed knew where the demon race was hiding and located; they had too many scouts that were very well-hidden. The demon race wasnt able to find and kill all of them. Every single movement of the demon race army was within the grasps of the Battle Thearch, the North Thearch, and others. This night, all the soldiers on the Heaven Fate Ships had their weapons at ready to attack at any time!


    As it became steadily darker and darker, the temperature became lower and lower!


    Night time in the Endless Deep Sea was very dark; the sky was overcast with only a minimum amount of moonlight. The few hundred Heaven Fate Ships floating above the sea felt like a few hundred ferocious beasts; it was a scary sight.


    The Battle Thearch, North Thearch, Beast Thearch, Evil Thearch, Sword Thearch, Tang Shenji, andpany sat inside their Heaven Fate Ship as they closed their eyes and sat quietly. Only the Battle Thearch was silently drumming on the table, creating a rhythmic sound. It sounded rather abrupt in the otherwise quiet room.


    Suddenly


    The Battle Thearchs drumming stopped as all the Demigods opened their eyes; their eyes were filled with killing intent!


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    At that moment, theyers of ice above the sea cracked open as numerous huge beasts flew upwards. From beneath the Heaven Fate Ship that the Battle Thearch andpany were in, a huge metal tail that was a few hundred feet long and as thick as an ox, together with a few dozen streams of white light shot up towards the Heaven Fate Ship.


    A bang sound came from the ships shields as they broke apart; the Heaven Fate Ship was turned into fine powder as the Battle Thearch and others stood up in mid-air. There was no shock or panic on any of their faces; in fact, they emanated murderous energy.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    From beneath, simr attacks wereunched at the same time and at that moment, all the Heaven Fate Ships nearby lit up with the light from the attacks. That was followed by a wave of banging noises as many shields of many Heaven Fate Ships were pierced through. Numerous martial artists shot forth from the wooden remnants of their ships. They were also not shocked or fearful at all. Their divine shields had long been activated as light lit up their weapons; they have been preparing their powerful dao pattern attacks for a long time.


    Kill


    The Battle Thearch waved his hand and gave the order to attack as if knowing long beforehand that the demon n had already arrived; they had not made a move first as they wanted the demon race to attack first. Their strategy was to use their Heaven Fate Ships to block the first wave of attack before retaliating. This way, they could hit the enemy before they had time to react again and kill a huge number of the demon race in one fell sweep.


    Their strategy was pretty well-executed!


    Any attack required time to be charged up and executed. Althoughfor powerful demonsthe time needed to charge and release their demonic arts was very short, this was still longpared to the two or three seconds that formidable martial artists required to attack numerous times; many from the demon race were bound to be killed!


    Tsk! Tsk!


    Tens of millions of dao pattern attacks wereunched at the same time. If the previous wave of attack from the demon race had lit up the surroundings, the attack by the humans this time had utterly made the surrounding five-thousand-kilometer radius as bright as day. Furthermore, the human races attacks were sharper and were more powerful.


    No matter how strong a demon was, demons could not cultivate dao patterns. They could only rely on their huge and strong bodies as well as the demonic arts that they were born with. However, the human race could actually borrow heaven-and-earth powers to release all types of scary dao pattern attacks.


    Lightning bolts, burning mes, meteorites, wind des, holy light, spatial palm prints ck fog


    All types of dao pattern attacks rained down continuously. At that moment, the seawater in the sea region was evaporated; and a huge hole was formed. Huge waves surged to fill in that hole. The iceyer had long been melted into a fine powder and revealed the savage faces of the many demons hiding inside the sea.


    This time, none of the demon race had transformed into humans; they had retained their original forms. They were the strongest within their original forms. They did not dare to underestimate their enemy for such a huge battle; they were going to give it their all.


    Roar! Bang! Wu


    The wailing sounds from all the demons rang out as their flesh flew everywhere, and their blood sttered. Their limbs had been torn apart as the seawater tossed and turned. Just a single wave of attacks had killed a few million demons while the normally deep-blue seawater had utterly turned red with blood.


    Pong! Pong! Pong! Pong!


    In all directions, the iceyer was continuing to crack as the waves surged into the skies and formed numerous water dragons and surged forth. Numerous water swords were being formed by the seawater and pierced through the sky as mist spread into the sky and enveloped the human races martial artists. The mist was not white in color but was a ck-brown color; it was evident that it was lethally poisonous! These were all formed by a demons demonic arts. As the sea demons lived in the water, the sea itself was an advantage that they had; their powers were amplified by it!


    The demons from the sea continued to rush out; there seemed to be no end to them. The horrific beast-like auras from them enveloped all the martial artists. The auras from the hundred-odd Demon Sovereign especially made many Heaven Monarchs feel suffocated; their flying speed was severely lowered.


    Hmph!


    The North Thearch andpany had been observing thus far; at this moment, the Battle Thearch waved his hand andmanded, Demigods, attack!


    Demons, die


    The Beast Thearch did not activate his divine shield. He had long transformed and became a dragon as he surged forth. His aura was simrly slowing down many of the Demon Kings and Demon Thearchs movements. He did not bother himself with the low-grade Demon Kings and Demon Thearchs; he was only focused on a huge Demon Sovereign. His dragon ws glistened with a cold glow that made many Demon Kings and Demon Thearchs tremble inside.


    Kill!


    The Sword Thearch held a ck ax in his hand as he split the air; he locked on his attacks on a Demon Sovereign. All the Demigods from all the ns present also started their attacks. They started to look for their targets as they entered the fray. Before long, the battle was underway.


    Roar!


    From far away, a huge ck dragon roared and emerged. That dragons eyes were bigger than humans and even colder as well; it spat ck phlegm from its mouth and instantly turned almost a thousand Heaven Monarchs into ashes; no one could block its power.


    The ck Deity had appeared!


    The North Thearch revealed a teasing look at he nced at the Battle Thearch and said, Do you want to go, or should I?


    The Battle Thearch smiled broadly as he replied, Wu Shang, I will leave this huge worm to you; I will personally take on Ao Lu that old thingter on!


    Alright!


    The North Thearch was happy to leave the strongest enemy to the Battle Thearch. He gently waved both his hands as his body became a bolt of lightning and pierced through many martial artists and headed to kill the ck Deity. He looked very rxed. The ck Deity was actually not that strong; from the looks of it, he was around an eight-star martial artist. It was very easy for the North Thearch to kill him.


    Rustle!


    A ck shadow surged orth from afar; he had even transformed and taken a human form. A huge purple-gold battle wagon appeared behind him and stopped a few hundred kilometers apart. The Shadow Emperor bowed and opened the door to that wagon as a green-haired elder came out.


    Ao Lu and the Battle Thearch eyed each other from that huge distance as Ao Lu smiled and said, Battle Thearch, I heard youre the strongest in the East Imperial Continent? I have not fought anyone in more than seven hundred thousand years, and I am itching for a battle. Shall we y?


    Ao Lu, I heard that only the Mystic Thearch could break through your defenses back then?


    The Battle Thearch ced his hands behind his back as he also smiled slightly. He nodded and said, It has been more than seven hundred thousand years; has your tortoise shell decayed?


    Hahaha!


    Ao Lusughter rang out in the sky as he stopped in mid-air and said, You can find out yourself if it had. If you can break through my defenses, you would really live up to your number one title on the East Imperial Continent. If you cant, go back and hide inside your Battle Thearch City.


    Alright!


    The Battle Thearchs silver battle armor shook as his ck-hair yed. His body soared into the sky as he flew all the way up into the high skies. He smiled broadly and said, Today, I will break your tortoise shell.


    Swish!


    Almost at the same time, the Shadow Emperor be a ck shadow and headed into the midst of the battle. His figure became a blur as he locked onto one of the Concealed Sects Demigods and floated towards him, entering the fray.


    Snowkes were still falling from the skies as the Endless Deep Sea was destined to be dyed red this night.
