Chapter 1218: Declaration Of War From A Million Kingdoms (2/2)
The countless kingdoms had mobilized at the same time with billions of fish in their armies. In both the sky and the ocean, only Teeming Fish could be found.
There was no end to them, their ranks spanning as far as the eyes could see. Anywhere that light could reach was occupied by fish.
The troops of this tribe from all over the world gathered to form a mighty army.
“Oh mommy, the Teeming Fish are using all of their forces!” Many people nearly wet their pants after seeing this lineup. Those who came for the treasures no longer dared to linger behind and quickly ran away from this land of turmoil.
“d.a.m.n humans!” Some of the human cultivators who were already here wanted to escape. However, the perimeter of Peac.o.c.k Land was completely sealed by the Teeming Fish. These fleeing cultivators suffered attacks right away.
Even though they were quite strong, they still couldn’t escape death for they faced billions of Teeming Fish. With miserable screams, they were instantly eaten by them. Not even traces of their bones were left behind.
They died full of regret for not listening to Li Qiye earlier. If they had left as soon as possible, they wouldn’t have attracted this fatal disaster, resulting in a death without a burial.
“Take out the heavenly mirrors.” Many lineages were worried about this grand event. No one apart from top experts dared to personally come and watch. The majority of the lineages didn’t want to miss this unique battle, so they didn’t mind wasting refined jades to activate their heavenly mirrors.
Through the mirrors, they could watch the battlefield full of Teeming Fish.
Fish heads were bobbing back and forth. The ferocious army was armed with tridents and harpoons. The glint of their weapons illuminated the whole sea. This was not a friendly sight for cowards to watch.
Even the sect masters and royal lords were creeped out by this. The billion-strong army could tear through everything. Just a few bites from each of the soldiers could destroy an entire great power.
“Messing with the Teeming Fish is like playing with a hornet’s nest.” A sect master murmured while breaking out in cold sweat.
Another royal lord commented with anxiety: “Who would want to provoke these vicious fish alone outside of sea G.o.ds, treefathers, and Immortal Emperors?”
“They aren’t only trying to kill Li Qiye for revenge this time. This is a showing of their military might, deterring the world by showing their frightening strength, lest others want to suffer the fate of genocide.” An ancestor was quite discerning.
In fact, a few older ancestors knew this full well, especially those from experienced lineages like the Golden Isle or the Void Imperfection Three Schools. They had been around for too long.
Li Qiye had dealt a great blow to the Teeming Fish to the point of trampling on their reputation and prestige.
Eating dragon tendons publicly was humiliating to this tribe, but now, he even ma.s.sacred a million fish and killed the symbol of their race — their tribemaster. This was shaking the very foundation and status of their tribe in the Heaven Spirit World.
If they didn’t kill him today, they would never be able to regain their fierce reputation. Perhaps the world would start to think that they were easily bullied. Many lineages would want to seize their territories and people would want to eat dragon tendons.
Because of this, the tribe had united and managed to muster billions of troops. This was not only to kill Li Qiye, but also to show off their might and solidarity as a deterrent measure. Provoke them and face genocide!
The Teeming experts crowded the sky and the sea. The terrifying experts up there were all in human form.
These old men were dressed in gold and wore regal clothing since they were high elders and kings. There was no lack of Virtuous Paragons here.
Of course, it was difficult to find a G.o.d-Monarch in the Teeming Tribe. The fish were quite weak in terms of cultivation. Not to mention charming spirits, they were very far behind compared to even ordinary sea demons.
However, due to their large population, they still had quite a few Virtuous Paragons. The hard part was to have one of these paragons reach the G.o.d-Monarch level.
Despite the exaggeration in the rhetoric regarding their numbers, the ma.s.s ahead was indeed too immense. No other lineage could gather so many children. This magnificent scene was something only the Teeming Fish could produce.
Eventually, their kingdoms finished gathering their troops. At this time, the ophidian treants and Dual-Pupils Sect along with another dozen lineages had aggregated to form an alliance with the Teeming Fish to a.s.sault Peac.o.c.k Land.
