Chapter 1301: Dawn Has Broken

A wild wind howled, whipping up layers of sand and stone.

At this moment, outside the entrance to the Buried Immortal Valley, the scene was one of surging clouds and flying sand and stones!

Mo Junchen held up the sky with both hands, tearing open a piece of the void and releasing thousands upon thousands of blades, crazily bombarding a giant sea turtle the size of a mountain!

Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning stood at the entrance, their Dharma spells weaving into a giant array, turning into streaks of killing orders that pierced through the Sea Race constantly charging forward.

The Eight-Headed Serpent returned to its true form, leading the rest of the Zha Tian Bang members, responsible for holding the line at the rear, constantly channeling spiritual energy into the array to maintain its operation.

However, compared to the million-strong Sea Race army, what they had killed was merely a drop in the bucket.

This chaotic battle had been going on for more than two hours and was extremely intense.

When several Sea Race generals led a million-strong army to attack, Mo Junchen and the others had already noticed and left the Buried Immortal Valley directly, blocking the entrance.

The sea turtle discovered that experts like Mo Junchen were present and couldn't sit still, so it immediately killed its way over, starting a solo battle with Mo Junchen.

Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude had originally thought that relying on their own strength would be enough to suppress the entire scene, but among the opponent's several generals, there were actually Earth Immortal Realm experts, and their strength was abnormally fierce.

Having no other choice, Liu Jingning and Duan Jiude could only choose to defend and counterattack, occupying the entrance of the Buried Immortal Valley and using the terrain, which was easy to defend and hard to attack, to contend with the million-strong Sea Race army and several Earth Immortal Realm generals.

It was precisely because of this that in the two full hours of fighting, the number of Sea Race troops they were able to kill was very few.

"You ants, why don't you get lost? The Buried Immortal Valley is the territory of my Sea Race, how dare you covet it!" In the clouds, the giant sea turtle roared.

The reason it was angry was purely because the sky was about to brighten. If it couldn't let the million-strong Sea Race army enter the Buried Immortal Valley, then everything it had laid out for many years would be wasted, and that "Guardian Deity" of the Sea Race would also be unable to resurrect as wished!

"Presumptuous! Since the Buried Immortal Valley is already on the ground, it is the territory of my Human Race. Moreover, this place has long been the turf of my Zha Tian Bang. You mere Sea Race, how dare you invade?" Mo Junchen was extremely imposing, shouting sternly.

Having once been a Sect Master of the Artifact Sect, how could his aura be weaker than the opponent's?

"Stupid things, how can the great cause of my Sea Race's revival be hindered by you ants!" The giant sea turtle roared, shaking the heavens and the earth.

Its massive body covered a large part of the sky like a giant mountain, making people feel terrified, and its aura was even more terrifying, sweeping across the entire scene like a tidal wave.

Mo Junchen was also shaken by this aura for a moment, secretly shocked in his heart. He knew very well that although this sea turtle's realm was similar to his, its age was probably several times higher than his. It was an old turtle that had lived for many years, especially that size—it was huge!

So, it was no wonder it had such an aura!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the giant sea turtle suddenly flashed backward, breaking away from the battlefield and shaking off the entanglement with Mo Junchen.

Following that, it thrust its head forward, suddenly pointing toward the sky with a domineering air that seemed to want to pierce the heavens, and roared, "Sea God above, I, Gui Qiangao, am willing to use five thousand years of my lifespan in exchange for the use of a secret technique!"

Boom!

As soon as the words fell, a muffled thunder instantly exploded from above the clouds.

Mo Junchen was instantly shocked, looking up at the sky in horror, feeling incomparably shaken. Could this sea turtle communicate with gods? It actually had thunder responding after saying it?

"Hahaha, you ignorant ant-like humans, you have caused me to lose five thousand years of lifespan. This debt, I will soon collect from you!" At this moment, the sea turtle stared at Mo Junchen and laughed angrily.

"Now that the secret technique is complete, let's see how you can stop my clan's army from stepping into the Buried Immortal Valley!"

It shouted loudly, and the thick, giant turtle shell on its back actually appeared with strands of runes, colorful and brilliant, as if countless stars were flowing and flickering. A beam of light also fell from the sky, covering the million-strong Sea Race army below.

"Not good, this is the Void Teleportation Technique, retreat quickly!" Mo Junchen's expression changed, and he shouted at Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning, feeling incomparably horrified in his heart.

This old sea turtle actually possessed the legendary Void Teleportation Technique; it was simply terrifying!

Duan Jiude and Liu Jingning below heard this and also chose to retreat without hesitation, moving away from the coverage of the light beam and quickly retreating to the edge of the entrance inside the Buried Immortal Valley.

The battle suddenly ceased at this moment, and the several Sea Race generals also stopped attacking. The million-strong Sea Race army looked up, staring at the giant sea turtle with awe and piety.

"Stop, you are harming them! The Buried Immortal Valley has already become a Heaven and Earth Furnace. If you send them in now, it is undoubtedly making them all become sacrifices!" Mo Junchen frowned and shouted in a deep voice.

The sea turtle's expression changed upon hearing this, "Shut up, you ant of the Human Race, what do you know?"

After speaking, its gaze swept toward the million-strong Sea Race army below, and it shouted, "Listen to my order: after entering the Buried Immortal Valley, rush to the central area immediately. No matter what happens, you must not retreat, otherwise, you will be executed on the spot!"

"Yes!"

The million-strong Sea Race army shouted in unison, their momentum surging, completely fearless of sacrifice.

"It's over. Throwing a million lives in to be sacrificed like this, once that Sea Race expert awakens, it will at least be an Immortal Emperor!" Duan Jiude's face was bitter. In the current situation, he was powerless to stop it even if he wanted to.

Liu Jingning also had a grave expression. They had stopped the Sea Race from entering the Buried Immortal Valley out of fear that the Sea Race would disrupt Xu Que's grave-digging plan, but now it was truly impossible to stop them.

And…

Liu Jingning looked up slightly, her gaze fixed on the sky that was beginning to brighten, her heart becoming increasingly uneasy.

Dawn was almost here, but Xu Que hadn't come out yet. Once the Heaven and Earth Furnace was in full operation, I'm afraid…

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a sharp voice shouted; it was the little yellow eel in Duan Jiude's hand.

It looked at the sea turtle in the sky with horror and shouted sharply, "My Lord, I can testify, they are not lying! The Buried Immortal Valley has already turned into a Heaven and Earth Furnace. If we go in, we will really all die!"

"Presumptuous, who gave you the right to speak here?" The sea turtle was suddenly enraged, and a gaze swept down.

With a "bang," the little yellow eel exploded on the spot, bursting into a mass of bloody, mangled fish meat in Duan Jiude's hand.

"Damn, are you crazy? Old man, I just changed my clothes last year, and they're dirty again!" Duan Jiude stomped his feet in anger, pointing at the sea turtle and cursing.

But the million-strong Sea Race army was stunned, staring blankly at the sea turtle, unable to believe it.

"My Lord, Xiao Huang was the most loyal scout of our clan, it…" a general said, cupping his hands.

But before he could finish, the sea turtle swept another gaze down and interrupted coldly, "Do you think a scout captured as a prisoner still has any loyalty? No more nonsense, it's time for you to set off!"

Boom!

As the white light on the turtle shell on the sea turtle's back flashed, the light beam falling from the clouds instantly whipped up a powerful air wave, and following that, the void twisted.

The million-strong Sea Race army in the light beam, along with several Sea Race generals, all had shocked expressions, unable to accept the fact they had just discovered.

This Lord actually wanted them to go to the Buried Immortal Valley to be sacrifices!

"No…"

Finally, accompanied by the unwilling roars of countless Sea Race troops, the light beam in the clouds suddenly tightened, and together with the million-strong Sea Race army, turned into a speck of light and disappeared without a trace.

Outside the vast Buried Immortal Valley, peace was quickly restored.

The sea turtle in the clouds laughed loudly, "Hahaha, the ancestor's great plan is complete. The inheritance of generations has been waiting for this day to come. The hope for my Sea Race's revival is right before my eyes! You ant-like humans, wait for the descent of my clan's Guardian Deity. Your doomsday is coming!"

Mo Junchen, Duan Jiude, Liu Jingning, and the others felt their faces turn pale at this moment, just like the sky that had begun to brighten—pale and powerless.

Dawn had broken!

The Heaven and Earth Furnace was finally going to be activated!

……

At the same time, inside the Spirit Eye mountain range of the Buried Immortal Valley.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong stared at Xu Que and Er Gouzi, who were already sitting cross-legged in the palace, her brows tightly locked.

Many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were buried underground in the Buried Immortal Valley, and many mountain ranges were even spirit stone mines. Coupled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the momentum of heaven and earth, once refined by the furnace, it would turn into an extremely terrifying Immortal Yuan Spiritual Energy, instantly irrigating and gathering at the Spirit Eye location.

She found it hard to believe that Xu Que and Er Gouzi could withstand this Immortal Yuan Spiritual Energy.

"Dong!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded from outside.

Xuan Yuan Wanrong was startled, and her divine sense immediately probed toward the outside.

The next moment, her expression changed, and she couldn't believe it, "These million Sea Race creatures, entering at this moment, wouldn't they all become blood sacrifices? Once these million creatures are smelted, there will inevitably be a million vengeful spirits and evil energy…"

Oh no!

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly looked at Xu Que in the palace, shouting loudly, "Come out quickly, you cannot use this Spirit Eye…"

Boom!

Before she could finish, a loud noise like the destruction of heaven and earth instantly shook from all directions, sweeping across a thousand miles!

Xuan Yuan Wanrong's voice was completely drowned out within it!

The Heaven and Earth Furnace had begun!

……

【Second update delivered! So terrifying. When I was writing until four o'clock, I was so sleepy I couldn't take it anymore. I wanted to go to sleep, but I accidentally clicked on the chapter comments from the previous chapter and saw a bunch of people leaving countdown messages. It scared me so much that I quickly threw away the tissue, put on my pants, and finished writing this chapter!】 ===== CHAPTER 1302 =====
