Immortality begin with Alchemy Grandmaster Chapter 2835 - 1048: Black King Shatters the Mountain, Divine Creation Palm (Part 2)

He himself, making use of his abundant Qi Power, traversed the eight hundred miles of Liobo Mountain with ease.

Wherever he went, even the lowliest Demon Beasts that crossed his path met their demise instantly.

This applied even to Third-Order Demon Kings!

On the primary battlefront, the Mountain Protection Array began to falter, and the contingent led by Zhou Yuwei, dispatched for reinforcement, found their advance halted.

They then witnessed the ocean churn with waves of demons, and three colossal entities, each standing forty to fifty zhang tall with seven or eight legs, strode forward in a furious charge.

Such immense scale and palpable Demon Qi struck everyone present with profound awe.

"Three Third-Order Demon Kings in total!"

"They're King Crabs!"

"We can't possibly hold them back; we must flee!"

Just as widespread panic began to set in, the sky abruptly darkened.

Streams of dark airflow erupted, engulfing the battlefield ahead; all the Demon Beasts charging the front lines, including the three King Crabs, were enveloped within this miasma.

This spectacle left everyone in stunned silence.

Unable to observe the events unfolding within the shrouded area, they could only discern a chorus of agonizing screams.

Time passed slowly, second by second.

As the desperate cries gradually ceased, a lone figure emerged from the darkness; behind him lay a gruesome tableau of blood pulp and a stark landscape of white bones.

The keen-eyed Lin Qingtong immediately identified the person who had appeared.

"It's Cousin!"

A wave of cheers erupted from the others.

"Elder Zhou is here; we are saved!"

"Every single Demon Beast has been eliminated."

"The main battlefield defense holds!"

Zhou Fuqiu's white robes remained pristine, untouched by even a trace of blood, as he descended gracefully before the assembled group.

His voice resonated with gravity as he declared:

"Reinforce the Array, re-establish our defensive perimeter, and prevent any further advances by the Demon Beasts. Should you face a major Beast Tide, dispatch a signal for immediate support!"

Unanimous agreement echoed from everyone present.

Zhou Fuqiu approached the squad of four and, observing Zhou Yuwei and her companions breathing heavily, inquired calmly, "Is everyone alright?"

Zhou Yuwei shook her head; her exhaustion stemmed merely from an excessive expenditure of Spirit Power, a temporary strain on her Meridians that would mend with rest, but she would be fine.

The sole injured member among this four-person unit was Zhou Yuqi.

Possessing the least formidable talent, his time spent in Foundation Establishment was the shortest, and during the recent conflict, even his Ascendant Grade Magic Tool had been obliterated, the catastrophic backlash from their linked consciousness inflicting severe wounds upon him.

Gazing at Zhou Fuqiu, who had single-handedly repelled the Beast Tide and annihilated the three King Crabs, Zhou Yuqi's expression was a complex mixture of emotions.

His childhood friend had long since outstripped him, leaving a gulf between them as vast as that between the heavens and the earth.

Lin Qingtong, in contrast, gazed at Zhou Fuqiu with eyes sparkling like stars, overflowing with admiration.

"Cousin, you are truly incredible!"

"Incredible?" Zhou Fuqiu responded with a slight shake of his head. "They were merely a collection of low-level sea demons, acting solely on ingrained instinct. Their power diminishes drastically once they set foot on land. Avoid direct confrontation; employ hit-and-run tactics, and victory will be easily achieved."

Could it be that simple?

Lin Qingtong and the other three contemplated these words.

Zhou Fuqiu had not concealed his voice earlier, meaning numerous cultivators in the vicinity had overheard his explanation.

Having been stationed here for an extended period, these individuals were naturally familiar with such combat scenarios; however, executing these strategies effectively amidst the chaos of battle presented a considerably greater challenge.

Moreover, Zhou Fuqiu had not employed any hit-and-run maneuvers himself—he had simply overwhelmed them with sheer force.

A hearty laugh echoed from a distance, and another figure swiftly approached.

"My good friend Zhou, you are far too humble. It is one thing for lesser Demon Beasts to fight with instinct, but those three King Crabs were Third Order Middle Stage Demon Kings, yet they could not withstand even a single engagement with you. Truly remarkable! Among your contemporaries in the Daoist Palace, you must undoubtedly be counted amongst the elite!"

Zhou Fuqiu acknowledged the newcomer. "Ah, Friend Ji."

Master Jidu surveyed the chaotic battlefield and let out a subconscious sigh of relief.

"It is fortunate you arrived promptly and secured the defensive line, preventing that wave of Demon Beasts from breaching Liobo Mountain. Allow me to handle the remainder; Friend Zhou, you should proceed to assist other regions requiring aid."

Zhou Fuqiu nodded and turned, leading the four-person squad away.

The ferocity of the Beast Tide today far exceeded all projections.

And this was merely the comparatively remote and serene Liobo Mountain. If such dangers were present in areas where Second Senior Brother and the others were stationed, the peril would surely be immense.

Their Master must have entrusted Second Senior Brother with his protection; otherwise, he would not have assigned him the mission for Liobo Mountain.

But if the Demon Beasts assaulting the defensive lines were only at this level...

Zhou Fuqiu’s lips curled slightly, his expression devoid of any significant fear or panic.

Empowered by his immense Qi and employing the technique "Qi Sea Floating Sky," he was effectively a lethal weapon on this kind of battlefield, his survival utterly assured.

While Zhou Fuqiu was contemplating the situation, his steps on the return path suddenly faltered.

"Cousin, what troubles you?"

Lin Qingtong, holding her cousin in high admiration and reverence, had kept him in her sight throughout. Seeing him halt unexpectedly, she was perplexed as to the cause.

Zhou Fuqiu rigidly turned, his gaze extending from the mountain's base into the far distance.

His vision was somewhat obscured, discerning only a distant, city-wall-like wave surging towards them from a hundred li away.

He gulped, a raw sound, and shrieked, "Flee!"

Abandoning all else, he shot skyward, ascending to the peak of Flowing Wave Mountain.

From his vantage point, the colossal wave, resembling a city wall, soared a thousand zhang high or more, relentlessly advancing and obliterating all in its path.

Islands spanning several li vanished without a trace, ancient reefs that had endured for millennia were pulverized, and even the lesser sea demons obstructing the way were engulfed, transforming into crimson spray.

The speed was astonishing; the distance of a hundred li was covered almost instantaneously.

There was no escape!

Zhou Fuqiu watched, his eyes wide with disbelief, as the frontline defense they had just painstakingly re-established disintegrated in moments.

Master Jidu transformed into a streak of Liuguang, hurtling towards the heavens. However, his Divine Consciousness lacked the acuity of Zhou Fuqiu's, and his belated discovery meant he fled a beat too slow.

That solitary beam of Liuguang was helplessly swallowed by the gargantuan, thousand-zhang-high wave, akin to a city wall.
