Chapter 2546 The Great Ocean Hippocampus's Rise!

chapter 2546 the great ocean hippocampus's rise!

the people watched as the haima tribe conducted their rite.

with each passing second, their voices grew louder and louder, while the waves began to dance. it was as if the ocean itself was joining them in the rite and began to dance!

waves swirled in unique patterns while they rose and fell in a repeating chorus.

pillars of water rose and exploded, as if fireworks were lit, reaching a great crescendo.

"marvelous," was all that everyone could utter as they witnessed it.

five minutes later, the rite was completed, and the ocean turned still.

it was as if time itself had come to a standstill, and no one took a breath. an encompassing aura spread throughout the ocean before it began to divide.

the divide was clean, and there was no flow of water as a deep ravine formed.

two incredibly tall walls of water now existed within the ocean, with the ocean bed visible at the bottom. lin mu and his companions stood on the eastern side of the ravine, while the haima tribe stood on the other side.

~huala~

a few moments later, incredibly strong spatial fluctuations spread that could be felt by everyone.

"this is almost on the level of the bridge plane!" crown prince feng shun assessed.

"what is happening? is a grand teleportation gate opening?" ziran wondered.

it wasn't just those present here, either; all across the rust sky world, similar reactions occurred. emperor feng looked to the west and narrowed his eyes, feeling apprehensive.

"what else is trying to intrude in the world now?" the man muttered aloud, gripping the fan in his hand.

"dammit, what the hell is that bitch up to now?" the holy topaz emperor cursed, no longer referring to his niece properly.

"more foes?" huiqing emperor looked to the northeast, a deep frown on his face.

"we'll fight whatever comes our way, emperor," the steel-horned general niu juo stated, not feeling afraid at all.

back at the temple of the guardian beasts, the four guardian spirits were shocked.

"this... how is another spatial rift opening?" the black tortoise wondered.

"this isn't from the bridge plane... where is this rift linking to?" the white tiger wondered.

"there aren't any realms or planes in the rust sky world that would cause such strong fluctuations," the azure dragon stated. "it isn't the time for any of them to open, either. there are no inheritance grounds or hidden grottos that open at this time," he added.

other than the major planes like the bridge plane and the desolate blood battlefield, there were other minor spatial realms and planes in the rust sky world, too. these were either hidden grottos of experts or inheritance grounds laid down a long time ago.

while not all powers and cultivators would know about them, the guardian beasts had been here long enough to know about pretty much all of them.

lin mu and his companions watched as what looked like an entire mountain range rose from the giant ravine!

the first to rise were two small hills, which turned out to be the ears of a horse.

connecting the two hills were tens of thousands of streams, which flowed and became the mane of a horse.

soon the head of the majestic horse could be seen, with eyes so blue that they looked like the very soul of an ocean.

its head rose as its long neck became visible, fully covered with scales so huge that each of them looked to be lakes!

the horse's long forelimbs were muscular, with each bulge and curve looking like rolling hills. its hooves were tough and black, as if made out of volcanic rock.

but this was the extent of its horse features, as the other half of its body was that of a fish!

tall and sharp dorsal fins extended from its neck that grew taller on its back, before finally ending at its tail. the dorsal fins gleamed in an iridescent light while lightly fluttering in the air. the tail was several kilometers long, ending in a wide caudal fin, the edges of which shone like opals.

"heavens be blessed... what is this beast?" everyone wondered.

"we pay respects to the great guardian! o great ocean hippocampus!" the haima tribe said out loud while kneeling.

the name was like a thunderclap to many, with only a few managing to recognize it.

"that's a great ocean hippocampus?!" ziran fell to his knees in shock. "they can grow this big?" he had read about them before, and while he knew they could grow very large, it was never on this level.

"this is a hundred times bigger than the biggest recorded great ocean hippocampus," lady kang marveled at the majestic beast.

~neighhhh!~

the guardian beast let out another neigh, this time lighter, before glancing at the haima tribe.

there was acknowledgment in its gaze, which almost made the haima tribe tear up. they had been waiting for the return of their guardian beast for ages, and it had finally appeared.

~shun~

the great ocean hippocampus closed its eyes for a moment as a beam of energy was released from its forehead. the energy covered the haima tribe and seeped into their bodies. its purpose was unknown, but the haima tribe's people seemed to feel enlightenment from it.

"we thank the great guardian for this priceless grace," head elder haima said as he kowtowed.

the great ocean hippocampus then glanced at the humans for a moment before looking at the bridge plane above.

~neigh~

it let out a cry of disapproval as it gazed at the bridge plane before flying up.

~huala~

streams of energy suddenly rose from the bottom of the ocean and surrounded the great ocean hippocampus as its aura began to change. lin mu, who saw these energy streams, was surprised as he actually recognized them.

"the world's will?"
