"Let me greet our enemies first... with some lightning!" Saying so, Krune's figure shot into the skies, entering the clouds that were high up.
His actions were indeed noted by the cultivators that were fighting, but none were able to interfere for the time being. Those with the ability to do so were currently engaged in fierce battles of their own.
Suddenly, a grand voice bellowed throughout the battlefield. "Welcome to the Mountain Sect."
Boom!
A Semi-God Realm cultivator from the Mist Sect had just sent his opponent flying away when a bolt of lightning smacked him right in the face, paralyzing him, damaging his Spiritual Incarnation.
"What the hell?" He gazed at the sky in alarm when three more lightning bolts smacked him, directly killing him. After all, each lightning bolt had an aura at the God Trial Realm, something those at the Semi-God Realm couldn't defend against for so many rounds.
"Tribulation Lightning?" Divination Immortal was shocked as he noticed the clouds in the sky turning jet black as the power of tribulations continued to rise in them. One after another, lightning bolts with the power of the God Trial Realm began to target the cultivators of the Mist Sect, easily killing those at the God Trial Realm.
There were some unfortunate ones on the boats at the bottom that were targeted, directly dying in the process as their boats exploded.
Suddenly, countless screams resounded as Monster Geckos rushed out of the water and dragged the cultivators into it as countless of them pounced upon each, shredding them apart.
The Monster Geckos were the experts of underwater warfare, being born to fight there. It was not to mention they had tough bodies, not dying easily.
"Damn it! Why are they so tough?" A Mist Sect cultivator grunted as he condensed sword energy and slammed it into a Monster Gecko, only able to make a gash, shocked as he had assumed it would slash his opponent in half.
"Heh!" The Monster Gecko grinned before punching at him, shattering the energy shield he had erected, sending him reeling into the water.
"Take this!" a cultivator shouted as he condensed a pair of chains, coiling it around the bodies of a group of Monster Geckos, trapping them when another cultivator unleashed a fire beam, slashing them apart.
But in the next moment, their bodies exploded, spilling their blood everywhere, freezing everything that came into contact with them.
The two cultivators barely managed to break free of the layer of ice, gasping for breath when they turned around in shock, noticing a Monster Gecko that was almost double in size arriving before them.
Mutated Monster Gecko!
The two erupted with their strongest attacks, shocked to see the chains of the former be easily ripped apart while the fire beam of the latter was stopped by an ice shield. Grinning in response, the Mutant Monster Gecko punched them, pulverizing them with a single hit.
From there, it jumped over to the next boat, attacking the cultivators there.
As the regular cultivators were mowed down like grass, those with a Spiritual Incarnation fared better. However, the Monster Geckos they were facing were the King and Emperor versions.
A cultivator unleashed his Land Incarnation, turning a part of the water into a desert, establishing a domain of his authority. There, he and his comrades fought the Monster Geckos, using the terrain advantage to the best of their abilities.
Monster Geckos fell like grass before their powerful attacks as the group took charge attacking. And with every attack, they followed it by switching the groups, retreating to the back as they pulled out a Rank 4 God Stone and began to replenish their Godly Energy.
This way, they planned to hold out for as long as possible until their enemies were down for the count. Similarly, countless other cultivators with Spiritual Incarnations did the same, establishing their Land Incarnations to gain back their foothold.
A Monster Gecko King landed on the desert as its surroundings began to turn into ice automatically due to the chillness it was emitting. Condensing a sword of ice, it charged at the group, defending against the attacks using a shield of ice.
It deftly avoided the attacks and arrived before the closest cultivator, slashing him with the ice sword.
The cultivator screamed in pain as his body was cut into two. But immediately after, laughter resounded as the cultivator's body regenerated. "You monsters just have some physical strength, that's all."
"Let's see how many times you can regenerate." The Monster Gecko grunted as it hacked at him again, slashing him into countless pieces, maintaining a nonstop flurry before the other party could even begin to regenerate.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, a symbol flashed before the Monster Gecko King before a burst of Godly Energy slammed into it, disintegrating its body.
"Are you okay?" the one that had used the attack shouted in concern.
"Yeah, just give me a second." The other cultivator finished regenerating, groaning as he said, "Its attacks are heavy, and its speed is beyond what I could easily face."
"These monster bastards are strong," he uttered, frowning when two Monster Gecko Kings landed on the desert, grinning as they rushed at him.
Suddenly, just when they planned to go all out, the hairs on his body stood on end as the cultivator hurriedly turned around, noticing another Monster Gecko had arrived behind them at this point, its speeds beyond what they had anticipated.
It calmly clutched the head of the cultivator that had used mysterious symbols to attack, clenching to shatter his head like pulp.
His head hurriedly began to regenerate, though, but before that could happen, the Monster Gecko's hands relaxed and clenched a couple of times, turning his body into paste. A raspy voice resounded, "Just keep repeating the same. After a couple hundred times, they won't be able to endure it any longer. Just infuse the Law of Ice in them until they reach the breaking point."
Monster Gecko Emperor!
Even when attacks rained on it, it calmly resisted them, not even flinching at the powerful attacks. "Though, that's unnecessary for now. Let's retreat."
The moment it said so, all three Monster Geckos vanished from the desert, causing the cultivators there to look around in confusion as they finished regenerating.
The one that had created the desert gazed at the waters around the desert as his face paled. "Oh my god!"
Highlighted in the waters was a massive shadow as the cultivator saw a row of teeth appearing around the desert region before slowly being swallowed.
Whether it was the Land Incarnation or the Spiritual Incarnations of the respective cultivators, everything was swallowed up and digested as the mountainous beast jumped out of the water, arched in the air and retreated into it again, causing a tsunami along its wake.
Supreme Monster Gecko!
