Chapter 1127  Unfortunate East Sea General

Boom-!

As the two powers collided with each other above the flying ship, a terrifying shockwave was created that swept out through the nearby illusory beasts. Instantly forcing them back and preventing them from continuing their attacks on the flying ship.

Even if all of them were in the Earth Immortal Realm, it was clear just how big the difference between them and someone at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm was, as even the shockwave from the clash was enough to force them back and prevent them from continuing their attack on the flying ship.

Roar-!

Roaaar!

Instead, all they could do was retreat to a safe distance before surrounding the flying ship and start to roar threateningly towards the people on top of the flying ship. Ensuring that they would not be able to use this opportunity to try and escape.

Of course, none of them dared to get any closer in case they ended up getting caught up in the fight between the human and illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm.

Boom-boom-boom!

Not too long after this, the East Sea General and the powerful illusory beast began fighting each other seriously. Leaving the soldiers on the flying ship shivering in fear as the battle in question happened to take place almost directly above the flying ship.

Even with the countless formations protecting the ship, it still took the 11 Earth Immortal Realm cultivators on top of the ship everything they had to ensure those formations didn't end up breaking when faced with the terrifying residual power from when the two pinnacle level Earth Immortals clashing with each other almost right above them.

Roar!

It was at this moment, the illusory beast at the pinnacle of the Earth Immortal Realm exploded with a terrifying aura before it began to forcibly push the East Sea General back towards the ground. Showing just how powerful it was at it gained the upper hand in the battle-

Crack!

At the same time, the increased pressure from the battle getting closer to the flying ship became too much for the formations on the ship to endure, as they began cracking apart visibly under the terrifying might of the illusory beast.

Roooar-!

Rooaaaar!

Roar!

Seeing this, the illusory beasts who had already retreated and were currently surrounding the flying ship from all sides began to happily cheer on as they watched the fearful and strained expression that appeared on the faces of the different soldiers on top of the flying ship.

"To think the general can't win… Just what kind of beasts are these illusory beasts?"

Filled with both doubt and disbelief, one of the soldiers in the Domain Lord Realm could not help muttering this to himself as he stared up at the peerless general in his heart being suppressed by the illusory beast.

"Who knows!? Even if the general is stronger, he won't be able to fight with all his strength as long as we are around!" Overhearing what he said, another Domain Lord Realm guard was unwilling to accept the premise that the general couldn't win against an equal opponent as he said this.

"Indeed… Maybe the general is worried about implicating us and is holding back?"

"Yeah, the general is kind and wouldn't do anything that could end up killing us!"

"Haha, indeed, the general is too kind. Even in this kind of situation, he thinks about us before himself!"

Not to be beaten, the rest of the soldiers jumped in on the conversation as they all began praising the general.

No matter whether or not the East Sea General was really being suppressed by the illusory beast, it had already turned into a fact among the soldiers on the flying ship. Even the Earth Immortal Realm Experts observing the battle taking place above while also doing their best to try and stop the defensive formations breaking felt that this was the case.

Among everyone present, only a small guard in the Nascent Soul Realm had noticed the small bit of blood that had begun trailing down the side of the general's mouth. "…"

However, given how energetic and spirited everyone became after they concluded that the general was just holding back so as to not implement them, he decided to not say anything about it. Understanding that his fellow soldiers wouldn't take well to the news. Especially considering that their current situation was less than optimal with the defensive formations growing weaker with each passing second.

"Ah! That all makes sense, but… If that is the case, we need to find a way out of here as fast as possible, before more illusory beasts appear and before the general ends up in an even worse situation due to our presence!"

With all of this in mind, the small Nascent Soul Realm soldier decided to speak up and suggest for them to try and find a way to escape from the battle so as to help out the general and give him a chance to unleash his full strength.

Of course, his true motive behind saying this was simply to survive the current dangerous situation. Compared to the rest of the soldiers present who had almost all grown up inside the East Sea Army and had lived together for a long time, he had only just recently joined the East Sea Army through the recommendation of a friend…

"Huh? Escape!? How can we leave the general to fend for- Wait it might be a good idea…" "Hm… Indeed… If we can leave, the general should be able to fight without having to worry about us."

"Only by leaving will the general be able to show these beasts his might!"

Following the suggestion of the Nascent Soul Realm soldier, the rest of the soldiers on the ship began discussing among each other-

"Newcomer, great idea! Everyone, prepare yourselves, we are going to forcibly break through the encirclement!" In the end, one of the leading Earth Immortals caught wind of the situation and agreed that it would be their best course of action.

Even if the general couldn't beat the illusory beast before another similarly powerful illusory beast appeared, he would at least have a better chance to escape if they weren't around. After all, so far, only forty or so of the close to one hundred illusory beasts had appeared!

Rumble-!

Not even a second following the command of the leading Earth Immortal Realm Expert, the flying ship sprung into action and charged towards the weakest point in the encirclement that was only guarded by a little over five of the illusory beasts-

BOOM-!

Roar!?

Roar!

Managing to forcibly break through with the help of the flying ship's offensive formations before any of the nearby illusory beasts had the chance to rush over.

Whoosh-! ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Having escaped from the encirclement, the formations covering the flying ship disappeared as it was covered in countless small formation symbols-

Swish-!

And in the next second, it turned into a stream of light that disappeared into the distance, having activated some kind of escape formation engraved into the flying ship for escaping just this kind of dangerous situation.

The reason for not using this escape formation before breaking out of the encirclement being rather simple, as they would have to disable all of the other formations to use it. Not really something they would be able to do inside the encirclement with the constant barrage of residual power from the battle taking place above them.

…

At the same time that the flying ship carrying the soldiers of the East Sea Army disappeared into the distance, the East Sea General grimaced as he blocked the illusory construct of the illusory beast in front of him. Different from what most of his subordinates were thinking, what the Nascent Soul Realm soldier had thought was indeed accurate, his situation wasn't that good.

However, the reason for this was not that the illusory beast was stronger than him, but because the illusory beast happened to be perfectly suited for countering him and his particular fighting style that focused on the strength of his physical body that had grown to a level comparable if not superior to a demon beast in the same realm as him.

Specializing in the Dao of Illusions and a soul-based lifeform? Just how bad is my luck…

To be more specific, his physical attacks did less damage to the illusory beast because it was a soul-based lifeform that didn't really have a physical body in the same way a normal human or demon beast did, while at the same time also specializing in soul based attacks- And with one of his main weaknesses being his soul that was weaker than other Earth Immortals around his realm, the illusory beast could truly be considered the worst kind of opponent for him…

As he thought about this to himself, the East Sea General silently lamented over his bad luck. For the first time in a long time, he wanted to run away from a fight-

ROOOOAR-!

However, before he could do this, another roar equal in strength to the illusory beast he was currently facing echoed out in the distance...
