Chapter 734: The Holy Sword of Earth Returns to Its Place

As Lingyun made a casual gesture, the great mountain beneath their feet suddenly shook, and a pillar of light shot straight into the sky.

"Th-that place, what is it?" Daiweina suddenly pointed to a spot on the mountaintop.

She had an extremely deep impression of that place, because that was where she had stayed when she was still a dragon egg. There was a stone platform there, and her dragon egg had been placed upon it. But now, the ground in that area was beginning to crack continuously. The stone platform was actually rising slowly.

However, the thing revealed beneath the stone platform left everyone present stunned. As the stone platform rose, people realized that it was no stone platform at all, but a massive stone sword. The so-called stone platform was merely the top of the sword's hilt.

"Th-this stone sword, could it be the Holy Sword of Earth?" Daiweina swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said.

"That's right, this stone sword is the Holy Sword of Earth." Lingyun nodded.

Countless cracks suddenly appeared on the stone sword, and finally, it shattered completely. Inside the stone sword was a Long sword wreathed in earthy-yellow light. The Long sword cut through the sky, landed before Lingyun, and emitted bursts of humming. No one present knew what the Holy Sword of Earth was expressing, but they could all feel its joyful emotion.

Lingyun reached out and grasped the Holy Sword of Earth, and his Source Power slowly seeped into it. The Demon Qi within the Holy Sword of Earth was also extremely frantic, but the Holy Sword of Earth was the one with the strongest defensive power among the Six Holy Swords; layers upon layers of protective barriers firmly blocked the Demon Qi's path. It could be said that among the Six Holy Swords, the seal on the Holy Sword of Earth was the most stable. Without external influence, even if these Demon Qi were given another ten years, they might not be able to break through the seal of the Holy Sword of Earth.

With the emergence of the Holy Sword of Earth, four sword hums suddenly rang out around Lingyun, and four streaks of light appeared beside him, transforming into four Long swords.

"Are these the other four Holy Swords?" The old man looked at the four Holy Swords beside Lingyun and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

During the Millennium Holy War, these Six Holy Swords had a fearsome reputation, and countless Demon Race powerhouses had fallen under these six swords. Now, five of the Six Sacred Swords had appeared, and the sixth was about to manifest as well. Coupled with the news regarding Demon Qi that had come from the Morning Light Forest earlier, the old man felt that the world seemed to be covered in dark clouds once again.

With five Holy Swords in hand, Lingyun said to Chen Jing and Nia beside him: "You two wait here for now; I'm going to go fetch our dinner."

"Our... dinner?" Chen Jing raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to find that Sea Devourer?"

"That's right. Now that that guy has taken the Water Holy Sword, it will inevitably cause a riot among the sea beasts. If this continues, the Sea Race will be in trouble." Lingyun waved his hand, the Wind Holy Sword landed beside him, and the other four Holy Swords automatically faded from view. "During this time, you two can go over there and test your skills to see how much you've improved recently."

Lingyun pointed his hand forward, toward the beach of Dragon Island. The originally calm beach suddenly began to boil, and one after another, massive sea beasts surfaced and launched a desperate charge toward the interior of Dragon Island.

"Strange, why do these sea beasts keep attacking Dragon Island like this?" Luweisi asked.

"Don't forget, there is also Demon Qi within the Holy Sword of Earth. The reason those sea beasts are attacking Dragon Island now is simply for the Demon Qi." Lingyun pointed to the Holy Sword of Earth beside him. "Of course, this doesn't rule out the possibility of a mastermind directing them from behind the scenes. After all, this kind of charge is just too orderly!"

"I understand. Daring to target our Dragon Island is the biggest mistake that mastermind has ever made!" A flash of anger crossed Luweisi's eyes as he transformed into a giant dragon and flew toward the beach.

"You two go as well; I'll be back soon," Lingyun said to Chen Jing and the other.

The Wind Holy Sword flickered in the wind, rapidly enlarging beside him until it became a giant sword one zhang long. Lingyun landed on the Wind Holy Sword, and together with it, he instantly transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

"Nia, do you want to go see those sea beasts below?" After Lingyun left, Chen Jing looked at the sea beasts below, her eyes showing a hint of eagerness.

"No, no, no, I don't like those things at all!" Watching the giant octopuses, giant jellyfish, and other strange sea beasts emerging from the sea, Nia shook her head frantically.

"You hopeless shut-in, what on earth are you thinking about right now!" A vein popped on Chen Jing's forehead; she grabbed Nia by the collar and charged directly toward the sea beasts, leaving behind a series of Nia's screams.

"This must be the place!" Standing on the Wind Holy Sword, Lingyun looked at the sea surface below and raised an eyebrow.

In his perception, the Water Holy Sword was directly beneath him, sending him a signal. Lingyun's Divine Sense swept out, probing the sea area below.

Under the effect of his Divine Sense, the situation in the sea area below appeared directly in his mind. The Sea Devourer that had swallowed the Water Holy Sword was currently inside a massive underwater stone cave, curled into a ball. Specks of blue light were overflowing from its body and being absorbed back into it. Lingyun could even feel its aura climbing bit by bit.

The most important point was that the half of the Sea Devourer's body that had been shattered by Mona's Sea God's Wrath had completely recovered. However, the newly grown half of its body was clearly not as powerful as the original. The Sea Devourer was also concentrating most of its power on this half, hoping to increase its strength as quickly as possible.

Around the stone cave, there were quite a few sea beasts; these sea beasts varied in strength, and the strongest one had already reached the God Domain. These sea beasts were constantly circling the stone cave, clearly having been captured by the Sea Devourer to guard the entrance. Being able to command these sea beasts infected by Demon Qi, the Sea Devourer had clearly mastered a portion of the Demon Qi within the Water Holy Sword. If one wanted to deal with the Sea Devourer, one had to first take out these sea beasts guarding the cave entrance.

Looking at the sea beasts guarding the entrance, Lingyun raised an eyebrow, and his right hand slowly lifted. Terrifying power gathered in his hand, causing the entire sea area to become turbulent.

The sudden anomaly made the sea beasts guarding the entrance instantly alert; several sea beasts suddenly burst out of the sea surface, scanning their surroundings.

Soon, they discovered Lingyun hovering in mid-air, and they bared their teeth, letting out threatening roars at him as various attacks surged toward him.

"Water Vortex Strangling!"

Facing the overwhelming attacks, Lingyun squeezed his right hand shut. A massive vortex appeared beneath every sea beast that had launched an attack at him. The vortex released a terrifying suction force, instantly tearing the sea beasts inside and grinding them into fragments. A pungent smell of blood spread, making the surrounding sea beasts even more restless.
