Time gradually passed, and the night gave way to day.
But the battle still raged on.
The vitality of legendary creatures was terrifying; such life-and-death struggles did not conclude quickly.
At this moment, a vast amount of seawater was annihilated, and the sea level seemed to have dropped by tens of meters.
The once black water was now tinged with a faint crimson, dyeing the sea for tens of thousands of meters. Yet, there was no trace of a bloody stench; instead, a peculiar fragrance wafted through the air!
This was the blood of legends!
The fierce beasts at the periphery looked on with fervent expressions, lowering their heads to lick the seawater as if the blood before them were a rare treasure.
"Bunny, aren't you interested?"
Chen Shu, noticing this scene, gently stroked his contracted spirit.
The Bunny looked down at the seawater below and shook its head proudly, utterly unmoved.
Chen Shu's other contracted spirits were similarly indifferent to the blood-mixed seawater.
Only Dali cautiously collected a small amount in a bottle, contemplating its use for culinary research.
At this point, all nine legendary creatures were wounded, but their combat escalated even further.
What had initially been three separate battlefields now saw all combatants converging, plunging into a chaotic free-for-all!
"Night Emperor, what do you think?"
The Bat Emperor's body was covered in horrific, blackened wounds, but it managed to suppress them with its toxic mist.
The faces of the three Beast Emperors were grim; Old Qiao's combat strength was even greater than they had anticipated.
Although they held a significant advantage, they would likely have to pay a price to end the battle.
"This is our only chance; we can't retreat now!"
Night Emperor's eyes were filled with killing intent as it gazed at the six powerful legendary contracted spirits before them.
"Implement Plan B!"
The next second, the three Beast Emperors surveyed their surroundings and then let out a collective roar.
Instantly, the fierce beast hordes at the edges of the battlefield received the command from their Emperors and resolutely charged towards the center of the fight.
Old Qiao's expression grew solemn, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
But in the next moment, his expression turned furious, his eyes brimming with murderous intent.
The three Beast Emperors had turned and plunged into the sea, heading straight for the spatial channel below!
Clearly, they intended to target the remaining individuals within the stronghold!
Old Qiao, leading his six contracted spirits, immediately surged forward, intercepting the spatial channel's entrance.
"How long can you hold?"
Night Emperor's eyes were like ink, and simultaneously, it spread its arms to either side, unleashing a torrent of terrifying dark element.
*Boom, boom, boom—*
In an instant, two colossal shadowy hands appeared, forcibly separating the seawater for tens of thousands of meters and revealing the spatial channel below!
The next second, the three Beast Emperors unleashed their attacks in unison, bombarding Old Qiao's six contracted spirits.
Old Qiao dared not leave the channel even a step, forced to squarely block the opponent's onslaught.
And at this moment, a dense army of fierce beasts appeared above!
All the subordinates of the three Beast Emperors had gathered, numbering at least several hundred thousand!
Each fierce beast was powerful, at least of the Gold tier, and their gazes now fixed upon Old Qiao below, filled with icy killing intent!
A monstrous aura began to condense, and the surrounding elements seemed to rage uncontrollably.
"This is bad… Old Qiao is being pinned down…"
Chen Shu's expression shifted slightly as he instantly grasped the fierce beasts' plan.
"What do you mean?"
Dali asked, confused. "What purpose do the other fierce beasts serve?"
Just then, hundreds of thousands of fierce beasts shifted their expressions in unison and began charging their skills with perfect coordination.
Their target was Old Qiao below!
Even though legends had transcended ordinary life, and even kings would be instantly annihilated by them, a quantitative change could still lead to a qualitative shift.
The combined assault of hundreds of thousands of Gold-tier fierce beasts was something even a legend could not afford to ignore!
"…"
Old Qiao's expression was grave; he, too, realized the enemy's objective.
If he chose to evade the onslaught from above, the three Beast Emperors would undoubtedly endure the attack and seize the opportunity to enter the spatial channel, slaughtering the surviving alliance members.
He could not retreat even a single step!
*Roar!*
The stone giant, tens of meters tall, transformed once more, becoming a thousand-meter-long city wall, enveloping the entire spatial channel!
Concurrently,
The auxiliary contracted spirit, resembling a phantom, detached itself from the giant python's body and merged with the stone giant, amplifying its defensive capabilities.
Instantly, hundreds of thousands of terrifying skill attacks rained down!
The sky appeared as a flowing, colorful waterfall, skills densely fused together, their dispersed energy intensity akin to divine might!
The scene was breathtakingly beautiful, yet imbued with deadly intent!
Qiao Na clenched her fists, her heart seeming to seize, but she could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
Chen Shu also swallowed hard.
The intensity of this attack, could even a legend withstand it?
And at this moment, the three Beast Emperors continued their assault from the side, their focus absolute.
If the opponent's six contracted spirits were to somehow evade, they would immediately charge in.
While their primary target was Old Qiao, destroying the alliance survivors first and crushing the opponent's morale was also a viable strategy.
*Boom, boom, boom!*
In the blink of an eye, the energy waterfall descended, striking the city wall formed by the stone giant with tremendous force!
The terrifying impact reverberated,
Nearby creatures were deafened, and only this sound remained in the heavens and earth.
Blinding light scattered everywhere, dimming the morning sun. Day seemed to transform into night in an instant.
Upon initial impact, space itself began to crack, unable to withstand such terrifying intensity.
Subsequently, seawater thousands of meters away was forcibly annihilated, and within tens of thousands of meters, a vacuum zone seemed to form, where any substance would be utterly destroyed.
Time gradually passed.
The energy waterfall continued to descend with unwavering intensity, showing no change.
Qiao Na's fists were almost crushed as she watched the scene unfold, feeling utterly suffocated.
"Alas…"
Chen Shu remained silent, unable to help but sigh for Old Qiao.
Under normal circumstances, all below the legendary tier were ants; an attack of this magnitude would never have touched him.
But now, with those he needed to protect behind him, he could not retreat!
