Chapter 1507: Reunion

Qing Huanxiang and his companion finally caught a moment to catch their breath, and they couldn't help but glance back behind them.

To their surprise, they saw another giant turtle standing there. Although it wasn't as ancient and towering as the old turtle, it radiated an overwhelming aura of bloodline power!

After a quick glance, Qing Huanxiang was the first to speak up.

"Thank you for your assistance..."

"May I ask who you are?"

Before he could finish, the old turtle suddenly exclaimed!

"Hai'er?!"

Hearing this, the newly appeared giant turtle nodded and moved closer, its eyes red as it spoke to the old turtle.

"Father..."

"I've been searching for you for years, but there was no trace of you. I never thought we would reunite on the battlefield today. It must be the heavens' blessing!"

Hearing this, the old turtle's eyes softened, and it seemed as if his entire body was revitalized! Even as more shadowy figures attacked, he managed to blow away hundreds of them with a single breath of mist!

Then, the old turtle laughed heartily, his gaze filled with emotion as he looked at the giant figure that was almost as tall as himself.

"Hai'er!"

"I never imagined you would reach such a level. Your father is truly proud! Today, let us fight side by side and eliminate these invaders!"

Qing Huanxiang was also stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at the old turtle.

"This... is your son?"

Hearing the surprise in his tone, the old turtle couldn't help but show a hint of pride.

"Haha."

"This is my son, Gui Wanhai, whom I haven't seen in many years. He's still young, and his cultivation might not be up to par. Please forgive his shortcomings!"

Hearing this, Qing Huanxiang's face darkened, and he was momentarily speechless.

"You..."

He had personally experienced the power of that earlier attack and knew better than anyone how profound the young turtle's cultivation was. His bloodline power was even more terrifying!

To put it bluntly, even the old turtle in his prime might not have been this powerful!

This old guy was really showing off!

It was infuriating!

Seeing the two old comrades glaring at each other, both covered in wounds from the long battle, Gui Wanhai quickly stepped in to mediate.

"Father, Uncle."

"Both of you are injured and have been fighting for a long time. Please step back and rest for a while. Leave the rest of the battle to me!"

With that, Gui Wanhai unleashed a surge of ancient power. His massive body seemed to be surrounded by surging tides, charging straight into the sky toward the horde of shadowy figures!

Under the lead of this giant figure, the shadowy horde was split open, creating a bloody path of blue!

Seeing this, the cultivators from all sides followed closely, charging forward with renewed vigor. Even the sea clans joined in the fight!

"Kill!"

"Follow the Sea Lord and charge!!!"

Watching the majestic figure from afar, the old turtle and Qing Huanxiang gladly retreated, transforming back into their human forms and sitting down to rest.

After just a few moments of watching the battlefield, they saw the tide of the battle shift.

The demonic invaders were being pushed back!

Gui Wanhai couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, laughing heartily.

"Hahaha..."

In his pride, he even glanced at his old friend with a smug look.

"My son is still young and has only just begun to grasp the divine abilities of our sea clan. Please forgive his shortcomings!"

Seeing that smug face, Qing Huanxiang snorted and turned away.

"Hmph!"

Just moments ago, he had been worried about the old turtle's demise.

But now, the old turtle's son had appeared, so powerful and turning the tide of the battle. It was truly infuriating to see the old turtle showing off like this!

Although the battle had taken a turn for the better and Shadow Island now had hope, which should have been a joyous occasion, Qing Huanxiang couldn't help but feel a pang of frustration.

For years, they had been rivals, evenly matched. But now, he had lost to the old turtle's son!

Look at that son of his, exuding such majesty, already the Sea Lord of this generation!

Even the green hair on his head looked so dashing.

And then look at his own demon clan. Forget about having any promising descendants, they didn't even have a single decent ally. Just a bunch of small fry shouting in the crowd...

It was truly infuriating to compare!

After a few moments of frustration, Qing Huanxiang had no choice but to let it go. However, he noticed something unusual.

"Ah..."

"Old turtle, your son's cultivation is indeed profound, and his bloodline power is incredibly strong. It's a great thing that he came to aid Shadow Island, but I can't help but wonder... How did he become so powerful while being outside?"

Hearing this, the old turtle's smile faltered.

After a moment of thought, he also looked puzzled.

"In just a few years, he's reached such a level."

"This kid's progress is indeed astonishing. It's a bit strange..."

Looking closer, they realized it wasn't just Gui Wanhai. The other prodigies from various stars were also unexpectedly powerful.

Some even used abilities they had never heard of, like a devouring technique! With a single move, over a hundred demons were devoured without a trace!

Such terrifying abilities had never been seen among the demon clans, not even by someone as ancient as Qing Huanxiang. His eyes widened in shock.

Even Master Lu and the others, who were resting on the ground, were startled by the extraordinary abilities and exchanged glances in silence.

"These reinforcements are truly formidable..."

"I never expected so many fellow cultivators to come to our aid, and I certainly didn't expect them to be this powerful!"

"Indeed, they are far stronger than we were when we first arrived on Shadow Island."

"Has the outside world become so powerful?"

"All these years, we've been holding our ground on Shadow Island, completely unaware of what's been happening in the outside world."

"I don't know either..."

"It seems we'll have to wait until the battle is over to ask them about it."

After a few words, the leaders of Shadow Island focused on recovering their strength.

Soon, more people rejoined the battle. Although they hadn't fully recovered, their terrifying power was enough to make the cultivators from other stars gasp in awe!

With the combined efforts of Shadow Island and the reinforcements from various stars, after a full day of intense fighting, they finally managed to hold back the tide of shadowy invaders!

By the time Lu Qingshan had recovered and, with the help of Wu Yonghong and the others, they barely managed to repair the expanding cracks and fissures.

With the support of almost the entire star system, this catastrophe was temporarily averted.

Shadow Island finally returned to the state it had been in a few days ago.

Unfortunately, this peace was only temporary, and the sacrifices had been immense. If another bloody battle were to break out, who knows how many more casualties there would be.

The cracks in the sky's barrier were like a ticking time bomb, hanging over everyone's heads.

Even though they had won this battle, no one was overly joyous.

The entire Shadow Island was immersed in a heavy atmosphere of sorrow and exhaustion. The reinforcements from other stars also felt the weight of the situation, their expressions grave.

To discuss the next steps, apart from those guarding the cracks, everyone gathered at the central city for a meeting. The leaders and high-ranking officials from the various stars were naturally invited as well.

By the time the battlefield was settled and the shifts for guarding the cracks were arranged, it was already deep into the night. The experts from the various stars were invited to leave, and the night was quiet once more.
