Chapter 2301 - 2299: Dongting Lake

Chapter 2301: Chapter 2299: Dongting Lake

Before a great battle, tranquility must come.

This time is no exception; within the Mangdu Mountain, it’s so quiet that even the fall of a needle can be heard.

Especially the black river, even more so.

Apart from the raging waves, one wave after another, crashing over the river surface, no other sounds can be heard.

However, with each wave crash, a terrifying black poison emanates from these waves, forming tornadoes of poison that block the sky and sun, striking towards the surroundings.

No matter how fierce the surrounding waves are, on the river surface, a golden spirit boat ten zhang long, quietly rests on the water, unaffected by the surrounding waves’ rolling and roaring, remaining steady.

On the golden spirit boat, two figures sit on chairs, drinking and watching the surrounding waves.

The two are none other than Zhang Xiaohao and Hong Yi.

A week has passed since the last great battle.

After the battle, Zhang Xiaohao used some small methods to spread the word of Hong Yi’s presence here.

He also spread rumors that a peerless Innate Xuantian Treasure is about to emerge here, disseminating the information together.

"Young Master, it’s been a week already, why haven’t they arrived yet?" Hong Yi asked worriedly.

"No matter! We simply wait and watch, no matter how they calculate, they must come here inevitably. There’s no fear that they won’t come! If they don’t come, they wouldn’t be who they are!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.

"But are you really confident that you can keep them all here?" Hong Yi asked again.

On her exquisite and stunning face, there was a hint of nervousness.

"How would we know if we don’t try?" Zhang Xiaohao said playfully.

"Hong Yi believes in you, Young Master!" Hong Yi nodded.

"The scenery here is nice, and the river is great too! Let’s call it Dongting Lake! Miles upon miles of Dongting, miles upon miles of lake." Zhang Xiaohao pondered for a moment and said.

Taking out a panda, Hong Yi used two fingers to flick it; a flame appeared at her fingertips, lighting it up, then squinting her eyes, she started smoking, one puff after another billowing from Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth.

"Dongting Lake? A good name!" Hong Yi praised.

"Of course." Zhang Xiaohao smiled and nodded.

Boom, boom, boom...

Gradually, muffled thunders echoed in the sky, massive dark clouds enshrouded the sky, stretching for countless miles, enveloping the entire Dongting Lake. At least everywhere the eye could see was covered.

Small rain gradually fell from the sky.

Fierce winds whipped up black waves, creating giant waves in the air, roaring wave after wave on the river surface.

The whole world fell into darkness.

Only Zhang Xiaohao’s boat stood steady as Mount Tai, countless golden rays poured from the spirit boat, illuminating it, making it conspicuous in its surroundings.

"Wind is rising, rain is falling, getting less calm!" Zhang Xiaohao exhaled a puff of smoke and said.

"Indeed, Young Master, the calm before the storm! They may not come, but once they do, it will be a storm!" Hong Yi nodded earnestly.

"It’s time to act." Zhang Xiaohao stood up from his chair, murmuring.

"Young Master, what are you going to do?" Hong Yi asked in confusion.

"Wait for me here! I’m going to prepare a grand gift for those guys! This time, I want to capture everyone within tens of thousands of kilometers, slaughter them all." Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes turned cold, murderous intent skyrocketing as he spoke.

"Alright." Hong Yi nodded in agreement.

Zoom!

In the next moment, Zhang Xiaohao’s body flickered, disappearing on the spot, within a few blinks, he had traversed five million kilometers.

Though the speed was fast, the cost of spiritual power was astronomical; fortunately, Zhang Xiaohao had strong reserves, the expenditure of spiritual power for him was merely minor.

He slapped his storage bag on his waist with his right hand, and instantly ten super formations appeared in the palm of his right hand.

Among them, eight were obtained from the Bi Mu Divine Race, and the remaining two were from some True Spirit patriarchs.

Centered around that spirit boat, at a radius of five million kilometers, these ten super formations were consecutively laid down.

It took a full three days; although the formations were laid down, the consumption of top-grade spirit stones was astronomical, using a hundred billion top-grade spirit stones, for others, even those at the Great Mahayana Extreme Realm, could hardly produce so many in one breath, but Zhang Xiaohao’s wealth was truly profound; he wasn’t even clear how many tens of thousands of supreme spirit stones he possessed.

Having killed so many cultivators and True Spirits, wiping out the entire Bi Mu Divine Race’s foundation, and a round of slaughter in Mo Yun Divine City, the supreme spirit stones and others on his person were too abundant! All piled up inside the Shennong Ring.

Luckily, the Shennong Ring contained infinite space, able to store countless treasures and more.

The consumption of these hundred billion supreme spirit stones was merely trifling rain to him.

Looking at the ten super formations arranged around him, Zhang Xiaohao’s mouth curled up with boundless murderous intent.

"With these super formations here, no matter how many of you come, combined with these black rivers, it’s only a dead-end outcome! But, I will turn your True Spirit blood essence into True Spirit Fruit!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly.

His body flickered as the Space Law Silk operated again, moving above the black lake.

Magic formulas continuously fell from Zhang Xiaohao’s hand, settling around, firmly covering the surroundings centered on the spirit boat.

A quarter of an hour later.

"Phew! Finally succeeded, almost exhausted me." Zhang Xiaohao standing above the Nine Heavens exhaled deeply and said.

Glancing at the horizon, he then retracted his gaze, not wanting to waste time, his body flickered, reappearing back on the spirit boat.

"Ah! Young Master, you’re back!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao return, Hong Yi immediately greeted him respectfully.

"Follow me inside!" Tossing out a sentence, Zhang Xiaohao turned and walked towards the interior of the spirit boat.

Seeing Zhang Xiaohao enter the spirit boat, Hong Yi bit her silver tooth, quickly following.

"Young Master, gentle now! It hurts Hong Yi..."

Only to hear a series of beautiful sounds emanating from Hong Yi’s mouth.

The spirit boat rocked, outside the storm stirred, the sky like ink, reaching out without seeing one’s fingers, the fine rain carrying poison fell from the sky, landing on Dongting Lake, splashing waves that spread outward...
