"Everyone stand behind me, ready to activate the Myriad Life Curse at any moment!"
As the toad drew closer to the floating island, and Zhang Xiaoyao no longer saw Wang Xiaoyi, he prepared to lead the players on the floating island into battle.
After the spirit-gathering array was set up, all players on the floating island had changed their profession to cultivators.
Zhang Xiaoyao then taught the Vajra Mantra and the Ten Thousand Life Mantra to the newly-minted cultivators. Perhaps the Spirit Gathering Array had other effects, but these new cultivators developed divine consciousness in less than a day and were able to use the Vajra Mantra and the Ten Thousand Life Mantra very well.
"Now begin activating the Myriad Life Curse!" Zhang Xiaoyao shouted.
At Zhang Xiaoyao's command, nearly 2,000 cultivators simultaneously activated the Myriad Life Curse.
The scale of the Ten Thousand Life Curse formed this time far exceeds that of the one that dealt with the 108 Soul Devouring Avatars!
Firstly, Zhang Xiaoyao, as the leader, had advanced from the Golden Core realm to the Nascent Soul realm; secondly, the number of participating cultivators had greatly increased; and thirdly, the cultivation levels of the original 500 cultivators had all improved by a major realm.
With all three factors combined, the giant sword generated by the Curse of Ten Thousand Lives is now even larger!
A 40-meter-long giant sword appeared in the air!
Everyone jokes about 40-meter-long broadswords, and this time we actually saw a 40-meter-long greatsword!
The toad's speed increased, and just as it was about to reach the floating island's walls, it leaped up and pounced towards the floating island!
When the toad's body was at its highest point, Zhang Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and wielded a giant sword that seemed to be in reality, striking the toad's body.
Surprisingly, the 40-meter-long giant sword passed right through the toad without causing any damage.
"How is this possible!" Zhang Xiaoyao exclaimed in shock!
"That shouldn't be the case. Could it be that this toad is completely immune to mental attacks?" Zhang Xiaoyao muttered to himself.
With the toad almost upon them, Zhang Xiaoyao completely panicked. The Ten Thousand Life Curse had always been Zhang Xiaoyao's greatest reliance, and he never expected that he would fail this time.
In that instant, Zhang Xiaoyao felt utterly hopeless and had no idea what to do.
Fortunately, perhaps because the toad was exhausted from its long journey, it didn't jump into the floating island. Instead, it crashed hard into the city wall because it didn't jump high enough.
Zhang Xiaoyao and everyone else felt a strong tremor emanating from the city wall beneath their feet.
"What... what should we do?" Zhang Xiaoyao said with a worried expression.
"Hey! Are you guys welcoming me from the city wall? Why are you making such a big fuss this time?!"
When the familiar voice came, Zhang Xiaoyao felt that he had found his pillar of support again.
"Wang Xiaoyi, where have you been! Come back quickly, this big toad is not easy to deal with!" Zhang Xiaoyao shouted anxiously to Wang Xiaoyi.
"What's so hard about dealing with this? Besides being tough, eating a lot, and sleeping a lot, this toad isn't anything special!" Wang Xiaoyi replied, somewhat puzzled.
"Stop talking nonsense and come back right now!"
"You guys pack up, I'm going out for a stroll! You decide how to eat this giant toad yourselves, and remember to let me know when you're done using the [Spirit Rhinoceros Horn]!" Wang Xiaoyi said, then turned and left.
Zhang Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment after hearing Wang Xiaoyi's words, and didn't react.
Zhang Xiaoyao: (?′?ω?`)
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoyao had a big question mark on his little head.
"Clean up? Eat?" Zhang Xiaoyao scratched his head, not quite understanding what it meant.
After a while, Zhang Xiaoyao heard the whispers of the players behind him and realized what was going on.
"Um, do you think it's possible that this giant toad is already dead?" Simp #1 guessed.
"Are you blind?! If you don't want to use your eyes, you should just donate them! So many of us saw that big toad running away, how could it possibly be dead!" Simp #2 objected.
"Did you see that toad run away on its own?" Simp #1 retorted.
"With so much smoke and dust, how could I possibly see anything clearly!" The sycophant number 2's tone was clearly a bit weak.
"What if the boss came back carrying a toad?" The more the sycophant No. 1 spoke, the closer he got to the truth.
Zhang Xiaoyao was staying in Bengbu at the time, and went directly to the outside of the floating island.
At this moment, the corpse of the Heavenly Toad was outside the city wall, but Zhang Xiaoyao did not sense its presence.
Zhang Xiaoyao took a closer look and finally confirmed that the giant toad was definitely dead.
"Wang Xiaoyi, you big idiot!"
At this point, Zhang Xiaoyao finally understood why the Ten Thousand Lives Curse had failed. The toad had long since died, and without its divine consciousness, the Ten Thousand Lives Curse could no longer cause any harm.
The crowd followed Zhang Xiaoyao to the Heavenly Toad. Looking at the enormous Heavenly Toad, some players already had tears welling up in their eyes.
"This would taste delicious if it were braised!"
"I think hot pot would be better, especially spicy hot pot!"
"Such a big toad leg, it must taste so delicious!"
...
Thanks to the efforts of many foodies, the Tongtian Clam has begun to be transformed into various dishes.
"I'm so clever! Luckily I reacted quickly, otherwise Zhang Xiaoyao would definitely have scolded me again!"
When Wang Xiaoyi sensed the Ten Thousand Life Curse, he knew he was about to get into trouble again.
Sensing the danger, Wang Xiaoyi simply threw the corpse of the Sky-Piercing Toad out and decided that the best of the thirty-six stratagems was to flee, so he decided to leave this dangerous place first.
"I wonder how their progress is?"
"No, I need to go back and check it myself. What if Zhang Xiaoyao is being petty and deliberately doesn't tell me?"
Wang Xiaoyi sneaked into the floating island like a Japanese soldier entering a village.
The interior of the floating island was bustling with activity, as the enormous Sky-Reaching Clam had already been cleaned up.
In the very center of the floating island, tables were already set up, forming a long queue.
First up is the Tongtian Clam Hot Pot. The steaming hot pot is served, with its red spicy broth paired with snow-white clam meat, making it incredibly tempting.
Next up are dry pot clams, braised clams, and steamed clams!
The Sky-Piercing Toad died a worthy death, even in death it provided a feast for the players on the Floating Island.
Smelling the aroma, Wang Xiaoyi could no longer resist and immediately found a table to start eating heartily!
"This toad meat smells so good! I've never eaten such delicious meat before!"
"This is so much better than the bullfrog hot pot I've had before! This is what I call delicious!"
"Eating a bite of toad meat, I felt like my soul was about to ascend!"
"Hey, why is it dark already?"
"Uh, sorry, I think I accidentally broke through to a higher level!"
...
As if it were yesterday, clusters of lightning were gathering above the floating island.
