"Cai is very laborious . Our voyage has been smooth so far, and it's all thanks to him," Liu An said with a mild smile .

His words had emerged from the bottom of his heart . Cai's gaze could penetrate through the water and see the depths of the sea . In fact, his vision was far more effective than the magic tools that they had originally prepared for exploring the surrounding area .

"Bother Liu is very modest . Oh, by the way, I just heard Cai say that the number of nearby marine beasts has significantly reduced over the past few days . Could it be possible that we are very close to Western Continent?" Shi Mu asked .

"It should be the case . Our cult had some records related to the Western Continent . And, those records suggest that we should be close to the coastal area of Western Continent at this time," Liu An seemed to be recalling something while he was speaking .

"We will reach soon . " Shi Mu's eyes brightened-up as he heard Liu An's words .

"Brother Shi, what's your plan after reaching the Western Continent?" Liu An asked .

"I haven't planned anything yet . I'll make the plans once I reach there," Shi Mu replied .

The two exchanged a few more words . After that, Shi Mu found an excuse to return to his room .

Liu An's words soon came true . A black line had appeared in the front horizon after the fleet had sailed for three days .

All the people on board burst into cheers and acclamation . After all, people who were familiar with the sea area knew that it was a coastline .

Shi Mu stood at the prow of the ship . His eyes were smeared with a faint golden gleam . He gazed straight ahead, and a hint of excitement flashed across his eyes .

A brand-new world was slowly unfurling its veil of mystery to him!

The seventeen Gigantic Vast Sea Boats were stimulated to rush to the front with full speed .

Everyone was able to see a faint trace of green color on the coastline as the fleet continued to approach it in a gradual manner .

"Transmit an order to everyone that they must not lower their guard before they have reached the shore!" Liu An shouted in a sinking voice at this time .

The cheering and shouting sound of the people on board suddenly died down . Liu An's current status as the leader of this fleet had already obtained everyone's approval .

"Well, what is that?" a Dark Moon Cult's disciple who stood beside Shi Mu pointed his finger at something in front, and shouted .

The surrounding people also looked in that direction . They saw a black bulge on the surface of the sea . That thing was in front of them . But, it was very far from the fleet .

"Is that an island?" someone made a guess .

The bulge grew bigger as the fleet moved closer to it . It indeed looked like an island, but there were no trees on its surface .

"Wrong! That's not an island . That's a marine beast!" a golden gleam flashed in Shi Mu's eyes, and he shouted at top of his voice .

The people on board were thunderstruck as soon as these words surfaced in their ears . Liu An was present in the vicinity . However, Shi Mu's words had stolen away the color from his face!

Whish!

The black bulge didn't wait for the rest of the people to respond, and suddenly moved . This stirred-up the sea's surface, and the area within the radius of thousands of feet from the bulge surged up in a violent manner . Then, numerous whirlpools emerged on the sea's surface . The sea water seethed with excitement .

The fleet fell in the range of this chaos . And, it was thrown into total disorder!

"Transmit an order to turn the ships to the right as sharply as possible! Quick!" Liu An shouted aloud .

The more than a dozen ships exerted their full strength to steady their hulls . Simultaneously, they tried to turn their helms to the right side .

Bang! The surface of the sea suddenly burst open with a loud exploding sound!

A monumental tentacle which was as thick as a building stretched out of the sea surface, and pounced toward Ship No . 2 which was nearby .

The vast-stretched shadow almost blotted out the sky as it moved . The people on that ship saw this, and their complexion profoundly changed . This horrifying sight threw them into panic, and they burst out screaming and shouting .

But, some people possessed a rather firm resolve . So, they immediately moved into action . They unleashed their sword Qi and various other magic techniques on the massive tentacle in an attempt to block it .

However, these attacks weren't able to resist it even for a moment . They collapsed and dispersed as soon as they fell on the massive tentacle . In fact, they couldn't even leave the slightest trace on that tentacle .

The gigantic tentacle was about to slam down onto the ship . But then, a layer of white light dazzled on the ship's surface, and condensed into a light-curtain to resist the tentacle . However, it could resist the tentacle only for an instant before it shattered into pieces . And, the tentacle fiercely pounded on the ship as a result .

Bang!

The Gigantic Vast Sea Boat was supposed to be incomparably sturdy . But, it crumbled like an egg, and turned into countless pieces the next moment .

The disciples on-board didn't even get enough time to issue screams before they got swallowed up by the mighty wave that approached them .

This large ship vanished from the field of vision of the surrounding people in a fleeting moment .

The bulky tentacle had just crushed a Gigantic Vast Sea Boat . After that, loud "bang" sounds continued to be heard as it continued to pound on the surface of the sea . In fact, this issued thunderous sounds that were even louder than the sounds of thunderbolts .

Consequently, a mountain peak appeared on the surface of the sea, and set off a mighty tidal wave .

The ship that Shi Mu was on-board was beside that mighty tidal wave . But, it looked no better than duckweed before the enormous wave . Suddenly, the ship got rolled up by a huge wall of water, and pushed to another side . And, the hull of the ship was sent flying in the air by the impact .

The people on that ship were also sent flying by this impact . Then, they fell heavily back on the ship . There were many people who had been standing at the edge of the boat . Those unfortunate people were thrown off the ship, and into the sea .

Shi Mu grasped onto the ship's railing with one hand, and held on to it like a magnet . He had held onto the ship in such a firm manner that he hadn't gotten thrown off the ship even though the hull had been rising and falling in a crazy manner .

"What is this monster?"

There was an appalled look in Shi Mu's eyes at the moment . He had seen many gigantic sea beasts during this voyage . However, he hadn't seen such an unimaginably huge one .

Bang!

The surface of the sea burst open again, and another bulky tentacle stretched out . It darted toward ship No . 1 where Shi Mu was located .

Shi Mu's facial expression changed . He was about to take an action…

But then, a long and loud shriek spread from beside him . And, Liu An shot up to the sky . Then, a huge blood-red bolt of silk flew out of his body, and hacked at that bulky tentacle .

Puff!

A huge wound got split open in that tentacle, and blood puffed out . However, Liu An's body had also received a powerful jolt, and had been sent flying back toward the rear .

A roar which was permeated with anguish spread from the surface of the sea . After that, the wounded tentacle withdrew, and returned to the sea with a "Whiz" sound .

Then, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and the surface of the sea tumbled in a violent manner . After that, a massive silhouette emerged from the sea surface in a slow manner . The size of this beast was beyond imagination . Also, this gigantic marine beast had a strong resemblance to an octopus .

The massive body of this beast looked like a gigantic mountain peak . Innumerable whirlpools emerged on the sea surface whenever it brandished its ten thick tentacles . Its mighty spiritual pressure was similar to the oppression of a mountain .

Shi Mu was profoundly shocked . His eyes went wide open .

Whoosh!

A series of silhouettes flickered in the air one after another the next moment . A total of seven silhouettes had appeared in midair in a short period of time . And, Liu An was among them . These seven people were the remaining seven Palace Lords of the Dark Moon Cult .

Apparently, the octopus sea beast had sensed the powerful spiritual pressure that was being released by these seven people in the air . Hence, its dancing tentacles had stopped their movement with a low roar from its mouth .

The complexion of the seven Palace Lords looked pale at the moment . Their group comprised of seven people, but the size of the monster in front of them was insanely large . Therefore, there was no certainty that these seven people would be able to get hold of this beast even if they joined forces against it .

"We will have to act together to pin down this gigantic black beast so that the fleet can escape!" Liu An shouted in a loud manner . Then, his Heavenly Ghost Banner released a splendid blood-red light as he wielded it toward the octopus beast .

The other six Palace Lords also moved into action . Some of them released their spirit tools, and some summoned their spirit pets from the Dead Spirit World . Then, they pounced toward the octopus in unison .

As for the remaining sixteen Vast Sea Gigantic Boats… could they dare to stop here even for a second? They immediately fled toward the coastline in front . A disciple on Shi Mu's ship turned his hand, and took out a green magic charm . He then mumbled something, and flung that magic charm high up in the air .

A "Puff" sound was heard .

The green magic charm ruptured, and generated a gust of wind . The wind inflated the huge sail of the ship, and accelerated the sailing speed of the ship by two times . After that, the ship dashed toward the coast .

The people on other ships also exhibited a similar action, and the sixteen ships sailed away at a lightning speed .

Shi Mu heaved a sigh of relief . He then looked toward the rear .

Waves of loud sounds were constantly spreading like a muffled sound of thunder . Also, the water on the sea's surface seemed to be flaring up and raising mighty waves every now and then .

The octopus had been tied up in a battle by Liu An and his team . However, it brandished its ten thick tentacles, and set off bursts of hurricanes and strong winds at this moment . The winds were so powerful that they suddenly blew away all the Palace Lords even though all of them were either an Earth-ranked or a Moon-ranked powerhouse .

Only Liu An and Huo Qing were able to resist its blow . The other five Palace Lords didn't even dare to touch the tentacles . They could only take advantage of their small stature to move swiftly, and dodge the attacks . In addition, they would launch attacks from time to time to hold down the octopus as much as possible .

Liu An's whole body was enveloped in a layer of blood-red light at the moment . The spiritual power of the Heavenly Ghost Banner had suffered a severe damage in his battle with Old Man Wu Chen . However, its power seemed to have recovered after it had been nurtured in warmth for a period of time . Suddenly, it transformed into a large blood-red horse-whip, and started to hit the tentacles of the octopus in a continuous manner .

Consequently, several huge wounds appeared on the tentacles of the octopus, and it started to bleed from those wounds .

These wounds were fairly large, but they still couldn't stop the octopus . These ordinary wounds were good enough to render acute pain to the octopus . However, this rather infuriated the octopus even more, and it issued bursts of furious roars . Then, its tentacles started to flutter in the air at even faster speed in an attempt to kill these despicable people .

These seven people were either Earth-ranked or Moon-ranked powerhouses . Each of them had their own means for self-protection . Consequently, the octopus couldn't hit even a single person even though it continued to thrash at them in a frenzied manner .

But then, two clusters of dim lights suddenly appeared in the depth of the octopus's tentacles… as if two eyes of the sea beast . These lights were several feet in size .

"Be careful, it might be planning an attack . " Liu An shouted .

His voice had barely faded when a hole split open under the octopus's eyes . After that, a big ball of pitch-black liquid was shot out from there . It sent forth a pungent odor that felt very unpleasant to the nose . The black liquid then spread out in all directions, and shrouded the surrounding area in the range of hundreds of feet .

Liu An and the others were startled since this attack couldn't be evaded . But then, various kinds of rays of light lit up on the surface of their bodies, and condensed into a Body Protecting Halo .

However, this black liquid's corrosion quality was extremely powerful . So, it easily contaminated the Body Protecting Halo of these people . A "Chi Chi" sound was issued as the Halo started to weaken at an alarming speed .

The octopus issued a hissing roar, and waved its tentacles . Its tentacles blotted out the sky as they whipped towards the people .

Liu An and the others jumped out of the way at once . However, the movement of a black-faced Palace Lord among them was a little slower than the others . Consequently, he was struck and sent flying by one of the tentacles . And, a large amount of blood gushed out of his mouth as a result .

The tentacle stretched out again, and clung to the black-faced man .

"Palace Lord Lu!" it seemed as if Liu An's eye sockets were about to burst when he bellowed .

The black-faced man was still alive since he had received only a few serious injuries till now . He had an alarmed expression on his face since he was desperately struggling to break free from the octopus's clutch . However, there was no way he could shake off the clutch .

The tentacle returned to the octopus while rolling the black-faced man toward it . Then, the tentacle slipped him into the octopus's mouth .

The octopus opened its big mouth, and swallowed the black-faced man . The painful screams of the black-faced man gradually subsided… and then disappeared .

Liu An and the other people flew into a fit of anger . But, they neither had the courage nor the strength to take revenge from this vigorous and terrifying octopus beast .

The octopus had just devoured one person . And, it was apparently thinking of spouting a mouthful of foul odor once again . It seemed to be in a state of elation as it waved its tentacles in the air .

But then, its vision congealed, and swept across these six people to see the dozens of ships behind them in the distance .

It had been in a tangle with Liu An and the others for a long time . And, the ships had sailed far away during this time .

The octopus bellowed, and its gigantic tentacles started to dance in a wild manner . Then, it pounced in the direction of the fleet . And, its massive body seemingly turned into an enormous shadow as it pierced through surging waves .
