LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 130: Storm._2
...
Today, there's nothing to report.
Chen Qiu and the others went out for a stroll again, had some food, and then returned to the inn to continue their cultivation, ready for the Sea Clan invasion that was expected the next day.
Nobody foolish enough came up to provoke them.
Chen Qiu was not wearing a mask, and his face had already been spread throughout Da Xia via Memory Stones. Even though many had not seen Chen Qiu's Memory Stone recently due to his seclusion for cultivation, the murmurs from those who glanced his way made it clear they knew who he was.
In such circumstances, anyone daring to provoke must either be out of their mind or harboring a sinister plot.
Midnight came swiftly, and the Heavenly Dao Cultivation Pill reward arrived once again.
By dawn, his Cultivation had reached—
-
"Cultivation": Golden Core Stage second level (80.2%).
-
Dawn broke.
Chen Qiu sat in the inn, tilting his head to look out the window. Today, the sea was not as calm as usual. A thick blanket of dark clouds covered the entire sea, including the coastal areas, leaving no end in sight to the clouds.
The light dimmed significantly, and the mental pressure from the vast expanse of dark clouds was immense, giving an almost suffocating feeling.
Winds mixed with a foul stench roared incessantly from the depths of the sea.
Layer upon layer of waves continuously crashed against the coastal rocks, sending up sprays of water and making thunderous noises. What seemed like ordinary waves without any strength, squeezed upon the rock walls, could produce a sound akin to thunder.
The waves grew ever larger.
The wind too grew ever stronger.
Though it had yet not started to rain, the atmosphere already resembled that of an imminent storm.
By that time, there were no common people left in the town. Even the greedier and bolder ones had fled overnight; while they were daring, they were not fearless – there was a substantial difference between the two.
Not a single Sea Demon was seen, but everyone was aware that the Sea Demons were about to make their appearance.
...
Numerous cultivators stood on a seaside cliff, their expressions grave as they watched the towering waves below, tightly gripping their swords.
Chen Qiu also stood with his Heavenly Mechanism Umbrella on a deserted part of the cliff, calmly gazing out to sea without speaking, unaware of what he was thinking. Fat Long and a few others stood quietly behind him.
The coastline was not short.
Nearly ten thousand miles.
One-third of Da Xia Country's eastern territory was coastal,
No one knew from where the Sea Clan would invade, so most cultivators headed to locations closest to their sects and patiently waited for the Sea Clan to come ashore.
"BOOM!!!"
The waves grew larger and larger. The gigantic waves struck the cliffs, making them tremble slightly. Following the fierce winds, the sea level suddenly rose sharply.
The waves became higher.
Until a nearly thirty-foot wave surged from the sky and smashed down on all the cultivators standing on the cliffs!
Only then were the cultivators forced to leave the cliffs and circle in the air with their swords. However, the waves continued to rise, even towering as if to flood the coastal cities, causing many to frown slightly, indicating they would have to fight in the air.
But the spiritual energy of those at the Foundation Establishment Stage was not sufficient for them to fight in the air for too long.
"BOOM!"
Following a thunderclap, a dazzling lightning bolt flashed across the sky, instantly illuminating the dim world. The intense light caused many to look around and perceive the surroundings as even darker after the lightning faded.
This bolt of lightning seemed to have flipped a switch.
Countless bolts of lightning began to race across the sky, illuminating the whole world as if it were daytime amid the thunder and lightning.
The scene lasted only for a few moments before it suddenly ceased, plunging the environment under a blanket of dense clouds back into extreme darkness, lasting about four or five breaths.
A lightning bolt flashed across the sky once more.
All cultivators flying in the air momentarily held their breaths, only to see that, when the previous wave receded, an immense number of Sea Demons had already landed below, densely covering the entire coastline.
At a glance, there was no end in sight.
They had no idea where these Sea Demons had come from, only catching a glimpse in the afterlight of the lightning. When the next wave surged, these Sea Clan creatures disappeared from their original positions and once more emerged a few yards farther inland.

"KILL!!!"
Not sure which Foundation Establishment Cultivator suddenly roared, accompanied by a beam of sword light shooting downward, blowing the horn for the beginning of the battle.
Countless spells and circling flying swords all crashed down below.
Amid flashes of lightning and peals of thunder,
Blood sprayed everywhere.
...
"..."
Chen Qiu said nothing, just thoroughly unleashed his Divine Sense. After reaching the second level of Golden Core, his range of Divine Sense had reached one hundred forty miles.
Within the scope of his Divine Sense, these Sea Demons had spread out a battle line of more than ten miles, densely packed from the sea to the shore.
Among those Sea Demons,
There were 'Wolf Crabs' with enormous bodies and fierce light flickering in their pupils as they charged at the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the air on the waves.
There were also 'Green Poison Octopuses' with numerous tentacles, dripping continuously with fluid, spraying green liquid towards the air.
And there were 'Sea Demon Turtles,' several yards tall with massive shells on their backs, whose defense was so strong that they remained undamaged by flying sword attacks.
Numerous Sea Demons covered ten miles, rapidly advancing inland with the push of the waves.
Those Sea Demons with the ability to fly were already battling the cultivators in the air, those without flying abilities countered with their long-range attack methods, and those without any means of attack continued to advance further inland with the waves.
