The air seemed to freeze in an instant as powerful ice crystals rapidly spread out.
Bloodmoon Crescent continuously struck the advancing ice crystals, but it couldn’t slow their momentum.
Soon, the Bloodmoon Crescent attacking Claudia was covered and contaminated by the terrifying ice crystals.
Although the power of Bloodmoon Crescent’s attack wasn’t significantly affected, its speed was slightly reduced.
This slight delay gave Claudia enough time to dodge.
Finally, the Bloodmoon Crescent barrage fell into the sea like cannonballs.
With a series of terrifying explosions, the seawater was torn apart.
A few seconds later, centered around the spatial rift, the sea within a radius of five or six kilometers began to boil. Countless fish corpses floated up, and the seawater was dyed red with their blood.
The smell of the sea mixed with the stench of blood permeated the area.
Under such powerful attacks from both sides, even the ships that had retreated far away were not spared, sinking one after another into the deep sea. Almost no one on board survived.
While dodging Bloodmoon Crescent, Claudia quickly closed the distance to the giant tiger. With a wave of her left hand, an icy short sword appeared again, multiplying into thousands. The sword energy surged as she aimed to assassinate the giant tiger.
The giant tiger roared towards the sky, spitting out a golden battle axe from its massive mouth.
The surface of the battle axe was covered with dense blood-red runes. As the runes lit up, a terrifying aura of slaughter spread out.
The giant tiger’s upper body transformed into a human form, holding the battle axe. It charged towards Claudia, meeting the thousands of icy short swords head-on.
A life-and-death battle unfolded once again on the vast sea.
The fight triggered wave after wave of enormous waves, stacking up into a terrifying tsunami.
On the Atraria West Sea coast, the seawater suddenly rose.
“Tide’s coming in. Leave the shore. It’s dangerous!”
Someone shouted loudly on the beach.
Some slower-reacting tourists were directly swept into the sea by the surging waves.
The waves grew not only larger but also higher, producing deafening crashes.
“What’s going on? This doesn’t seem like a tide!”
“Tsunami, it’s a tsunami!”
“Run! Hurry up!”
People were terrified and fled desperately from the shore.
Soon, the tsunami engulfed the entire coast and buildings close to it.
Everything in its path was destroyed.
After the first wave of the tsunami subsided, a second, even more ferocious wave followed.
The second wave caused more destruction to city buildings and resulted in more casualties…
At Seven Stars Sect’s rear mountain, Spirit Crocodile Cliff.
After returning from an exhibition in the United States, Leo came to Spirit Crocodile Cliff for training.
Sitting by Spirit Crocodile Pond, Leo suddenly opened his eyes from his meditation and looked westward.
For some reason, he had an intense premonition that something significant had happened in the west.
The west… West Sea… Westsea Sanctuary!
Could it be that something had gone wrong with the spatial rift over West Sea?
Before long, Jennifer and Violet appeared before Leo.
Jennifer spoke directly, “Leo, there’s been a massive tsunami on the West Sea coast, causing severe damage.”
“Tsunami?” Leo’s calm expression shifted slightly.
It was well known that tsunamis were generally destructive waves caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or meteorological changes.
Tsunamis moved quickly, capable of crossing oceans in hours with wavelengths reaching hundreds of kilometers, causing immense destruction.
As far as Leo knew, there had never been a recorded tsunami on Atraria West Sea coast throughout history.
Leo had a rough guess in his mind.
Violet handed a tablet to Leo and said, “Leo, look at this.”
The tablet displayed footage captured by a drone of the tsunami.
The tsunami had caused severe damage, and the scene was extremely tragic.
Jennifer’s face was solemn as she continued, “I think the tsunami on West Sea is very unusual and probably not caused by natural factors.”
Given such circumstances, how could Leo ignore it? Looking at Jennifer and Violet, he decisively said, “Jennifer, Violet, I need to go check out West Sea.”
Jennifer nodded and said, “Go ahead, be careful.”
“Stay safe, Leo,” Violet added.
Leo summoned Dragon Sword. In a flash, he stood on Dragon Sword and soared into the sky, flying directly towards West Sea.
Flying at high speed on Dragon Sword, it took less than half an hour for West Sea coast to come into view.
The towering waves had not subsided and continued to rage wave after wave.
Whether it was skyscrapers or trees and cars, everything was vulnerable under the impact of the waves.
On the streets of coastal cities, screams and cries filled the air.
Leo flew directly over West Sea coast. Seeing another terrifying giant wave approaching, his expression turned grave.
He couldn’t let these tsunami waves continue their destruction!
Without any hesitation, Leo stood proudly in mid-air facing the incoming giant wave.
One man and one sword might seem lonely but showed no fear.
A sharp sword intent burst from Leo’s body as if he himself were a razor-sharp longsword.
Extending his right hand with fingers spread open, Leo focused his mind. A lotus made of ice appeared in his hand.
This ice lotus was none other than Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus, a spiritual object nurtured by heaven and earth that Leo had refined.
The appearance of Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus caused the surrounding temperature to plummet and snowflakes to fall from the sky.
Leo channeled his internal spiritual power into Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus flew from Leo’s hand and rapidly expanded in size.
A terrifying cold aura erupted from Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus.
Leo pointed his right index finger at the incoming giant wave.
Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus, carrying its horrifying cold aura, flew towards the giant wave.
When Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus was thirty meters from the giant wave, its overwhelming cold aura had already enveloped it.
Then came freezing. The entire giant wave froze at a visible speed.
Soon, the giant wave turned into a white glacier stretching for several kilometers.
To ordinary people witnessing this scene, it was truly unbelievable.
Leo knew this was only a temporary solution because more giant waves were coming behind this one.
He needed to find the source of these tsunamis to solve the problem fundamentally.
Leo transformed into a stream of light and flew towards where the spatial rift was located once again with Dragon Sword.
His intuition told him that everything originated from that spatial rift.
Of course, during his flight, Leo continued using Nine-Petal Ice-Soul Lotus to freeze subsequent waves.
