[Your speed is impressive; at full speed, you arrived at the Wind and Thunder Sword Pavilion in less than ten minutes, and by then, their protective formation had already shattered!]

The message for help said it could only last for a maximum of 15 minutes, but that wasn't the case.

After the formation broke, countless sea monsters at the first and second realms surged into the Sword Pavilion, engaging in a chaotic battle with the disciples.

[It was described as a chaotic battle, but faced with dozens or even hundreds of times more sea monsters, it resembled a massacre.]

[Sword Pavilion has fallen to the last major enemy. At the forefront, countless Innate Disciples and Celestial Elders are desperately resisting the sea monsters, protecting the elderly, children, and weak behind them. They are suffering heavy casualties, falling one by one.]

However, sea monsters of the second realm would still occasionally break through their defenses, leaping into the rear and wreaking havoc. A sea serpent nearly a hundred meters long would whip its tail, sending dozens of people flying and coughing up blood.

A grandmaster, his entire body surging with inner energy, charged towards a peak-stage Innate Mantis Shrimp, only to be blasted to pieces by a punch that broke the sound barrier countless times over.

[The Shrimp River of the Three Realms did not make a move. Its enormous demonic body, over a hundred meters tall, watched everything with great interest from behind the demonic tide. Today was a feast for its children, and as the ancestor, its only responsibility was to remove bones and thorns from the main dishes.]

[For example: A celestial being, in a state of extreme despair and rage, actually completed the remaining short spiritual journey, giving birth to a domineering intent!]

The disciples and elders, who were still desperately resisting the demonic tide, were just beginning to rejoice, feeling that hope was about to arrive and they could launch a counterattack—

Xia Jianghe leaped forward first, snapping the celestial being in the process of breaking through with a single pincer, then shoving the two halves into his mouth.

Human breakthroughs take time; with it present, how could the enemy possibly succeed?

[The members of the Wind and Thunder Sword Pavilion were utterly desperate. Many who were fighting on the front lines lost their will to fight. In the short few dozen seconds after that Celestial Being was killed, their casualties increased tenfold.]

And you... finally arrived.

"The overlord of the human race? Interesting?"

Amidst the vast and powerful fluctuations of primordial energy, Xia Jianghe's eyes darted about in the air, yet he showed no sign of alertness.

This is because it knows that many human overlords lack a sacred body, but it, being a sea monster, is different; it possesses the "True Armor of an Ancient Giant Shrimp"!

This means its armor defense is three times that of a regular shrimp!

[Don't be fooled by the fact that it's still some distance from the mid-stage of the Third Realm; even a newly ascended mid-stage Overlord would find it difficult to break through its armor in a short time!]

[Xia Jianghe participated in the demon tide so that he could be rewarded for his contributions later, allowing his two large claws to evolve into "Ancient Giant Shrimp True Claws," which would triple his attack power.]

[Let's imagine it evolving its tail into an "Ancient Giant Shrimp True Tail," causing its jumping ability to skyrocket again. Then its strength wouldn't be considered bottom-tier in the mid-game!]

[But... Shrimp River suddenly feels like you're rushing over a bit too fast!]

[And the sheer force of this fluctuation in the天地元气 (heaven and earth's energy)... it feels like it's more than just the mid-stage of the Third Realm?]

[Suddenly, a red glow appeared on the shrimp's dark blue-green shell. It was terrified: it was a warning—the spontaneous red glow that signaled when its tyrannical shrimp clan encountered an insurmountable opponent!]

It ignored the shrimp and crabs, turned around, and leaped off!

The surrounding air suddenly froze, but you were still over 600 miles away. Your control over the air was too weak, and the air itself, containing vital energy, wasn't very strong. It only hindered the Xiajiang River for a moment before being torn apart.

[But you have come ever closer, the Shrimp River's tail whips out five lightning-fast strikes, blasting giant craters into the land and sea beneath it... yet it is still no match for you!]

"Overlord's Battle Technique - Heaven-Splitting Blade!"

[Your Yuan Power, condensed into a three-hundred-meter-long giant blade, could easily slice through Mount Huangshan in your past life without sustaining a scratch. And before this shrimp demon, whose defense far surpasses that of its peers, it is equally unstoppable!]

[Shrimp River sensed the overwhelming power behind it; its entire shrimp shell turned crimson—this was a hopeless situation!]

It began desperately burning its bloodline, burning the blood of the ancient giant shrimp, causing its defense to surge once again. However, if it survived this ordeal, its "Ancient Giant Shrimp Armor" would degenerate due to the blood burning, and its centuries of refining its bloodline would vanish.

But it's okay, it won't survive this time, so there's no need to worry about the future.

The Heaven-Opening Blade slashed down, cleaving the hundred-meter-tall shrimp in two!

[The crimson shrimp armor, enhanced by burning blood, explodes!]

It crashed into the sea with a deafening roar, creating a massive crater. The impact was absorbed by the ocean, sending waves surging outwards!

"A third-realm demon... its life is truly tough!" You paused for a moment. Although the shrimp demon's shell was shattered, and even the translucent shrimp meat inside was cut ten meters deep, it ultimately wasn't cut in half.

Although the shrimp's head was also cut off, its remaining vitality still caused its body to spasm and twitch underwater, creating undercurrents and waves.

"Although it's not dead yet, it's practically dead." You added a burst of Yuan energy, shattering its halved brain. Now it's just a shrimp corpse with residual life, with no chance of escape.

[Come back and collect this loot later. Your current task is to wipe out the demon tide of the Wind and Thunder Sword Pavilion.]

[After defeating the powerful demon Xia Jianghe, a third-realm monster, you finally noticed the devastation at Fenglei Sword Pavilion. Blood and limbs were everywhere, and on Fenglei Island, where Xia Jianghe was located, all the villages and towns that couldn't be evacuated into the pavilion were destroyed.]

[Serpents ranging from several meters to tens of meters in size bared their fangs and claws, hunting down the fleeing humans.]

[You flew along, gathering all the living people you saw and suspending them behind you, before returning to the Wind and Thunder Sword Pavilion.]

[Just now, Xia Jianghe was frightened and retreated, and your appearance did not cause the sea monsters to panic. They know that Xia Jianghe is much stronger than the newly promoted ones among the three realm sea monsters, and they believe that Xia Jianghe is just changing battlefields and does not want to involve them, these shrimp and crab offspring.]

Only a small number of other demons belonging to the Tyrant Shrimp clan felt uneasy, as they saw their ancestor's appearance turning red... This meant that a formidable opponent had appeared who posed a great threat to their ancestor!

Some of the giant shrimp claimed they had urgent business to attend to and had to leave, leaving the humans to be killed by their fellow sea monsters.

But they still couldn't escape; you came back too quickly!

[From the moment you leaped away from the shrimp river to your return, only thirty seconds had passed!]

The primordial energy of heaven and earth, spanning over six hundred li, and the immense quantity of matter resounded with your arrival!

Thousands of second-realm demons, and hundreds of thousands of first-realm demons... appear as fragile as a sandcastle facing a surging tide before you!

They could slaughter the Wind and Thunder Sword Pavilion several times, and were invincible enemies to the remaining disciples, but before you, they were like willow catkins, drifting away in droves.
