Chapter 897: Chapter 888: The Situation
Within the territory of West Barbarian Mountain.
The side facing the sea, as well as the direction surrounding the mountains, near the passage leading to other regions of Golden Dawn Island, has long been completely transformed into a battlefield.
There, the flames of war blaze endlessly, cries of battle almost never cease.
Every moment, it is unclear how many Eight-Armed Monsters or human cultivators perish in these two regions that have been turned into battlefields.
Within the battlefield area, the land has long been ravaged beyond recognition, with the soil stained crimson red.
The thick smell of blood permeates the entire battlefield, newcomers who take deep breaths will likely feel nauseated and greatly uncomfortable.
Divine Sense swept over the two battlefields, Chen Hai can clearly see the Black Water Mysterious River Array, composed of numerous disciples of the Black Water Lineage, moving across various areas of the battlefield.
That day, when the Sect Alliance led by Ling Canghai reached the foot of Black Water Immortal Mountain, it was the obstruction of the Black Water Mysterious River Array that bought countless disciples of Black Water Lineage ample time, allowing them to last until Chen Hai’s return.
Although such an array is not perfect and has some flaws, there is no denying its immense power.
To fully exert the power of this array, eighty-one people are required, but the most basic Black Water Mysterious River Array requires only nine people.
In the Emperor Pan Palace within the outer chaos, Chen Hai listened to the teachings for a hundred years, then spent several decades emerging from the gray fog of chaos, and over these years, the scale of Black Water Immortal Mountain has multiplied several times.
With the current number of disciples of Black Water Lineage, even arrays composed of eighty-one people can easily set up more than ten formations.
Whether on the coastal side or in the endless mountains connecting West Barbarian Mountain to other regions of Golden Dawn Island, the battlefield formed there ensures that human cultivators create defensive lines where Black Water surrounds them.
Those Eight-Armed Monsters, though bloodthirsty and brutal, fight with sheer ‘recklessness’, making it difficult for them to find ways to break the Black Water Mysterious River Array.
Due to this reason, the numerous human cultivators on the defensive line have been able to maintain the upper hand, keeping the many Eight-Armed Monsters outside the defensive line.
Within the territory of West Barbarian Mountain, the cities where numerous humans reside have not suffered much damage for the time being and remain relatively intact.
Only a few isolated Eight-Armed Monsters manage to breach the defensive line and enter the depths of this region.
However, their fate is either to be slaughtered by human cultivators or to cower in some corner barely surviving.
Over the years, many within the Black Water Lineage have successfully entered the Golden Immortal Realm.
With such strength, coupled with their ability to form the Black Water Mysterious River Array, those Eight-Armed Monsters at most possessing Golden Immortal strength,’ ‘in this territory of West Barbarian Mountain, naturally struggle to gain any advantage.
The performance of numerous disciples under the Black Water Lineage greatly satisfies Chen Hai.
Sweeping through the high sky above the battlefield, he has no intention to intervene, transformed into Thunder Light, he swiftly descends, reaching the foot of Black Water Immortal Mountain within just a few breaths.
“Master, you have finally returned…”
Due to lack of strength, unable to pass through the Thirty-Three Layers of Heaven, ultimately returning disheartened to Wan Zhongshan of Black Water Immortal Mountain, with his head lowered, in a listless manner, clearing leaves near the mountain foot.
Although he seems lost, a wandering soul, his Daluo Golden Immortal strength is evident, and as Chen Hai just descended, he sensed it immediately.
With his head lowered, his eyes twinkle brightly, raising his head, he instantly looked towards the spot where Chen Hai landed.
Recognizing Chen Hai, he beamed, his spirits lifted, he hurried toward Chen Hai.
Nodding, Chen Hai added, “The lecture of Emperor Pan Ancestor ended decades ago. It’s just that, due to certain matters, I was delayed for quite some time, which is why I have returned to Black Water Immortal Mountain today.”
“Put aside sweeping for now.”
“Come with me to the peak of Immortal Mountain, and tell me in detail about the matter of the Eight-Armed Monsters.”
With his brow still furrowed, after greeting Wan Zhongshan, Chen Hai strode towards the mountain gate entrance.
As a Daluo Golden Immortal, although Wan Zhongshan’s strength is far inferior to his own, with his capability, while sweeping at the foot of the Immortal Mountain, merely paying slight attention, he can capture the situation within a ten-thousand-mile radius.
Regarding the matters related to the Eight-Armed Monsters, what Wan Zhongshan knows surely surpasses that of others like Ye Fangxian and Sun Daniu.
For this reason, Chen Hai directly consulted him on these matters. Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝕟𝕖𝕥
Leading the way, within just a few breaths, they appeared inside a grand hall on the peak of Black Water Immortal Mountain.
“Master, those Eight-Armed Monsters you mentioned, claim to be from the Pan Spider Clan.”
“Those nasty things emerged in the territory of West Barbarian Mountain forty to fifty years ago.”
“However, at that time, I merely considered the Pan Spider Clan as a group within the Demon Clan. Although I noticed their presence, I did not pay much attention.”
“Until more than ten years ago, this Pan Spider Clan truly revealed their ferocity.”
“Within the endless sea, amidst the continuous mountains, countless Eight-Armed Pan Spiders emerged, and in merely a few years, this Pan Spider Clan swept across the entire Golden Dawn Island.”
“I even personally acted, attempting to slay those monsters, but unfortunately, when the Pan Spiders I had slain reached a certain number, a Daluo Golden Immortal-level Pan Spider charged forth from the vast sea.”
“In that battle, although I succeeded in slaying that Daluo Realm Pan Spider, I too was severely injured and it took over half a year for my injuries to completely heal.”
“Over these years, overseas cultivators fled into our territory of West Barbarian Mountain, claiming that the Endless Sea is equally plagued by Pan Spiders, occupying billions of miles of ocean.”
“Besides their vast numbers, there were occurrences of Quasi-Saint-level Pan Spiders within the Pan Spider Clan.”
“After this incident, to avoid provoking truly powerful beings of the Pan Spider Clan, I merely guarded the foot of Immortal Mountain and did not act rashly.”
“The only consolation is that the young ones on Immortal Mountain have performed well, with their actions, the territory of West Barbarian Mountain remains stable and has not fallen into the hands of those Pan Spiders like other regions!”
After saluting Chen Hai, Wan Zhongshan found a chair beside him and sat down, slowly explaining the matters related to the Pan Spider Clan that he knew, recounting them to Chen Hai.
Learning these matters from his mouth, Chen Hai’s tightly furrowed brow did not relax but instead tightened further.
If he remembers correctly, after those mutant Gu Cangsheng departed from Emperor Pan Palace, if they hadn’t fallen into chaos but directly appeared outside of the primordial world, then the emergence of the Pan Spider Clan coincides with the time those fellows returned to the primordial world.
If earlier, he merely vaguely speculated that the matter of the Eight-Armed Monsters might be somewhat related to Emperor Pan Ancestor, now he has at least sixty percent certainty to confirm this point.
