Chapter 819 - 538: The Abyssal Wall, Approaching Beast Tide
Just ahead in the distance.
A dozen or so kilometers away lies an unending gray fog that blocks out the sky.
The murky fog towers and spreads, extending infinitely to both sides like a rolling gray sea tide or a wall with no beginning or end, blurring the boundaries between sky and earth.
—The Wall of the Abyss.
A wall that seems to stand at the edge of the world.
From the deepest parts of the Eastern Sea to the highest heavens, it seems to be everywhere.
It’s so majestic that, by comparison, these warships look ridiculous, like children’s toys.
The gray fog churns chaotically, but remains relatively calm overall.
These warships have been anchored here for many days, seemingly waiting for something’s return or appearance,
Yet at this moment.
It seems to start boiling.
In an instant.
Sharp and bright colors burst from within the distant gray fog, quickly appearing and vanishing again.
There, brilliant blue flashes, pale lightning, and black flames spread across the massive scale of the gray fog, rapidly extending and pulling at the fog, fiercely stirring and churning, tearing open rifts that released roars and shockwaves.
On all the warships, the soldiers and commanders who could observe this scene all felt a thrill in their spirits.
—It’s coming out!
And then—
Rumble!!!
Dazzling brilliance poured over the world, tearing a large rift in the wall of gray fog.
In an instant, a dozen terrifying figures, akin to gods and devils, flew out with their Contracted Beast Kings.
All renowned powerhouses of Blue Star!
Jacob Vick, the Church Court’s Seven-Star Cardinal.
Federation Country’s Seven-Star Demigods, Doff Yazler, Luther Jelen.
European Federation’s Seven-Star Demigod, Augusta Middleton.
Sand Country’s Seven-Star King, Franz Schubert.
Great Xia’s Plague Division True Monarch, Qiu Yuan, and Fire Division Lieutenant General, Red Lady True Monarch.
The remaining Six-Stars were also all extraordinary.
Various resplendent lights seemed to shake the world, with terrifying etheric waves swirling around the true forms of those magnificent giant beasts, spreading alongside the true intents of the powerful ones.
—Seven Seven-Stars! Nine Six-Stars!
Perhaps occasionally a "mortal" might break through the Celestial Gate by luck and terrifying life-or-death moments to achieve True Master status, but a Seven-Star has no leeway, strictly requiring a True Master to possess three Dao Marks.
From Level 70 onwards, Spirit Masters and Beast Kings truly stand on the stage of Blue Star’s pinnacle, true legends.
Even within a world as vast as Blue Star, such prestigious existences are rare, second only to the Eight-Star Giants and the often unseen Nine-Star, the most powerful tier under the divine immortals and deities, each a major power leader or an influential figure in their respective domain.
Seven Seven-Star entities personally lead the team, bringing their main Beast Kings, while the remaining members are primarily at the Six-Star Peak level.
By rights, such a configuration for an exploration and observation mission wouldn’t even be overkill compared to using a planet-destroying cannon against a mosquito.
Yet at this moment, their status looked rather beleaguered, with some Contract Beast Kings even bearing injuries, their expressions extremely solemn.
The next moment, Red Lady True Monarch’s scorching, intense thought accompanied by a call that pierced the heavens reverberated throughout the fleet behind.
"Maximize the power of the protective shields!"
In the blink of an eye.
Led by the Fire Division’s [Goddess] ship, the dozen warships stationed here for years raised their crystalline barriers without a moment’s hesitation.
Yet the Six-Stars and Seven-Stars didn’t show any signs of relief, immediately turning around with a gaze that seemed to pierce the fabric of the world, looking seriously at the interior of that seemingly limitless [Wall of the Abyss].
The spot they breached from inside was not healing, nor did it calm, but continued to roll even more violently.
The next moment.
A tide enough to shock everyone present erupted from the breach in the gray fog.
Like the sea, like a giant wave, pitch-black energy spilled out as if material, slowly diffusing into the sky and earth.
Although at the very moment it appeared in Blue Star’s environment, this terrifying blackness began to decompose and dissipate by itself.
Merely witnessing this terrifying upheaval left all the steadfast minds of officers and soldiers on the warships feeling a catastrophic shock, even their innate talents within the Sea of Spirit trembling.
After just a few dozen seconds, the breach on the towering wall of gray fog began to slowly heal itself, no longer rolling.
However, the impact of that force...was far from minor.
In an instant.
Countless points of light suddenly emerged between heaven and earth.
Countless figures glowing in various colors appeared from both sea and sky, stretching all the way from their feet to the horizon of both sea and sky.
Some were small, some were enormous.
Some were splendid, some were fierce.
The dense array of light shadows formed a curtain, the chaotic sea and dim sky covered by a multitude of spirit beasts and magical beasts, blotting out the sun and sky, vast and overwhelming.
They stirred up towering waves and storms of lightning, bearing down with an overwhelming force.
Even just gazing upon this catastrophic, fearsome scene made one’s hair stand on end.
These were the endlessly deep creatures of the Eastern Sea, and those spirits and fairies in the sky mingling with the lightning.
