Journey to the West: From Fish-Chasing Boy to the Boundless Heavenly Venerable of the Golden Palace

When surrounded by enemies on all sides, one can act without restraint.

With a crash, the anchor spun wildly, sending blood and flesh flying wherever it passed.

Li Yue's eyes were bloodshot from the fighting. One, two, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty-one... At first he was counting, but soon he couldn't count anymore, so he simply stopped counting.

Although there are thousands of spirits on the battlefield at this time, the vast majority of them are in the Qi Awakening stage and rely solely on their physical strength to fight.

Even those few in the Transformation Stage who refine treasures are still relying on their own scales and teeth; ultimately, they still depend on their physical bodies.

The anchorage weighs three thousand catties; how could these little demons withstand it with their physical bodies?

With a flick of his anchor, Li Yue charged through the waves as if they were nothing.

"Keep up with him!"

Seeing Li Yue slaughtering his way through the land, with everyone retreating in his wake, the struggling commander of the Mandarin Fish suddenly had a bright idea in his mind.

Immediately afterwards, they summoned and gathered the aquatic creatures of the Water Turtle to follow behind Li Yue.

As Li Yue moved across the battlefield, the group behind him grew larger and larger. In the end, all the aquatic creatures of the Water Turtle had gathered behind him, forming a giant cone.

Li Yue was like that drill, rampaging and crashing about at will, with the aquatic creatures, including the Water Turtle, following behind, also able to charge and kill at will.

In this way, the Water Turtle, which originally had the fewest troops and was in a weak position, turned the tide in one fell swoop. The three demon kings' forces all retreated, and in the end, they had no choice but to unite to resist.

Even so, they are no match.

It's like on a battlefield, where everyone on this side has rifles, but the other side has a tank. How can you fight like that? You can't fight at all; you can only run.

They fought like this from nightfall until dawn.

The area around Zhanhui Abyss was already littered with corpses, and all sides suffered heavy losses before finally stopping.

"Huff~! Huff~!"

Holding the Wave-Stopping Anchor, Li Yue stood in front. Not only did the soldiers of the Black Snake King, the Shrimp King, and the Whale-Swallowing Commander keep their distance, but even the aquatic creatures of the Water Turtle Domain dared not approach.

Gasping for breath, Li Yue felt a tingling, numb, and stiffness in his arms, shoulders, and back. After swinging the anchor all night, he felt like his wrists were about to break.

If the fight continues, he probably won't be able to hold on.

[Subdued the demon in Jingshui, fulfilling the divine duty of the Iron Anchor General, experience points +9620!]

After catching my breath, a notification sound rang out.

How many!

Li Yue's eyes widened instantly, and he froze on the spot.

He quickly came to his senses and checked again.

After repeatedly confirming, I was still shocked. There was no mistake, it was 9620 experience points!

Gaining nearly 10,000 experience points at once is simply outrageous.

However, if you do the math, he must have killed at least seven or eight hundred monsters that night by frantically swinging the anchor.

If a spirit has a cultivation level of one or two hundred years, wouldn't that add up to a hundred thousand?

Based on the principle of 10 experience points for 100 years of cultivation, it is not unreasonable to obtain nearly 10,000 experience points.

"I really didn't expect that."

After a moment, Li Yue came to his senses and couldn't help but shake his head with a smile.

His unexpected involvement in the war unexpectedly brought him a fortune.

Looking at the Yin Si Lu now, Iron Anchor General has already reached level three, and his experience bar is already more than half full.

Whoosh!

Chains wrapped around his arms, he gripped the anchor rod with one hand, and the wave-stopping anchor was anchored at the bottom of the river.

The experience points were good, but the killing was too much. Although the river was flowing, the stench of blood in this area never dissipated. Li Yue didn't want to fight anymore unless absolutely necessary.

Seeing Li Yue lower the anchor, the three opposing sides visibly breathed a sigh of relief. If Li Yue had continued killing like this, they would either have had to escape or be slaughtered before their king arrived.

On the other side of the Water Turtle's residence, the Great Commander of the Mandarin Fish and Princess Yuyao exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Although they had the strong support of General Iron Anchor, Li Yue was ultimately unable to protect all of their aquatic creatures. Even if they followed Li Yue into battle, casualties were inevitable.

Unlike the other three parties, they have fewer troops.

Although they had different ideas, none of them wanted to continue fighting, so they decided to temporarily cease hostilities.

However, they did not withdraw their troops, since the kings of each family were still below Zhanhui Abyss.

"General Anchor".

The situation stabilized for the time being. Commander-in-Chief of the Mandarin Fish and Princess Yuyao came over and greeted Li Yue with clasped hands and fists.

"We are extremely grateful for your help this time."

"You two don't need to be so polite, after all, I am also a member of the Water Palace."

"Hehe, it is truly our good fortune that the Water Mansion has gained such a master as you, brother."

The Kingfish Commander laughed heartily, and seeing that Li Yue was easy to talk to and knew how to be polite, he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.

Princess Yuyao remained silent, but inwardly scoffed. Clearly possessing such abilities, yet hiding her true power and acting as a lowly servant, she might have ulterior motives.

After their conversation, they became much closer, and the Kingfish Commander invited Li Yue to rest in the back.

Immediately afterwards, a small demon offered a large amount of blood food.

After this great battle, the dead and wounded were everywhere, and they had all become food for the survivors.

The saying goes, "The survivor is king." Whoever survives to the end will have the last laugh.

"General Anchor, please!"

The blood offerings presented to them were all carefully selected spirits in the Transformation Stage, and a fragment of their bodies could enhance their cultivation by one or two years.

The leader of the mandarin fish, with a hearty expression, gestured for Li Yue to enjoy the food.

Li Yue glanced at it but didn't move.

Although he may not have killed these monsters himself, they all died in this great battle.

Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor; all those who participated in this great battle are murderers.

If Li Yue were to refine these blood delicacies, he would inevitably be entangled by the resentment within them.

While it's good to rapidly improve one's cultivation level, a solid foundation for cultivation is even more important.

The main reason is that Li Yue can obtain offerings from mortals, so there is really no need for him to risk refining these blood offerings.

"Uh, haha, then I won't force you."

Seeing Li Yue's concerns, and knowing that everyone has their own ambitions, Commander Mandarin Fish smiled and stopped trying to persuade him.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up a large piece of flesh and stuffed it into his mouth.

Not only the Kingfish, but also Princess Yuyao did the same, only she ate in a much more refined manner.

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp. This has always been the law of survival in the water. If they don't eat, their cultivation will be surpassed by other aquatic creatures, and they will become food for others!

When faced with life and death, how can one care about harboring resentment?

At the same time, whether it was the water turtle or the other three parties, other monsters also began to devour flesh and blood.

What was just a life-or-death battle has now turned into a feast.

Li Yue shook his head inwardly; that's just how the demon realm is.

I only wish to cultivate quickly, reach the other side as soon as possible, find a blessed land to cultivate in peace and quiet, and perhaps even attain enlightenment so that I can escape this turbid world.

Boom! Boom!

As the demons were frantically devouring the blood, a series of booming sounds suddenly came from the bottom of the Zhanhui Abyss.

All the aquatic creatures were startled, and a fight broke out below!

Realizing this, everyone tensed up. In comparison, although the number of people below was small, they were the ones who truly determined the life and death of each party.

Whoosh! Boom!

Moments later, the commotion grew louder and louder, and suddenly, a powerful torrent of water gushed forth from the bottom of the abyss. Like a waterfall flowing backwards, the powerful flow almost split the river in two.

"My son!"

Just as everyone was filled with doubt, a mournful cry from an old man came from the bottom of the abyss.

"...It's Father!"

Princess Yuyao's expression suddenly changed drastically; it was her father's shout.

A mournful cry of "My son!" could it be that one of my brothers has met with misfortune?

In a moment of desperation, Princess Yuyao grabbed two swords and immediately charged toward Zhanhui Abyss.

Bang~!

But the gushing water was too powerful, like a city wall, and knocked her back.

Roar~!

Even after a low growl revealed its true form as a white turtle, it still couldn't break through.

Thump!

Just as Princess Yuyao was stamping her foot in frustration, a splash of water appeared, and a figure plunged headfirst into the Zhanhui Abyss.
