Eternal Tale

Chapter 270: Familiar Strangers

On the western coastline, an unending line of warships stretched out, with the roaring waves crashing against the shore, echoing their fury into the distance.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Massive warships plunged into the sea, sending towering waves skyward. It was impossible to distinguish which faction they belonged to, as they formed a dense, seemingly endless fleet that would make anyone's scalp tingle with unease.

In the sky above, colossal warships loomed, where the true battle-hardened cultivator armies stood. They would forge the path ahead, confronting the sea beasts in their way.

The vast expanse of the sea was filled with an unbroken line of warships, their cultivators standing in silence, their auras rising as killing intent surged around them.

The wind howled, merging with the crashing waves. The foamy white crests surged from the horizon, growing taller and louder as they drew closer, like the thunderous roar of thousands of galloping warhorses.

Amid the large warships were countless small boats caught in the gaps between them—some were manned by rogue cultivators, some by wanderers, and others by lone warriors.

Among them were Chen Xun, Black Ox, and Xiao Chi, sitting on a small, swaying boat. The massive shadows of the warships loomed over them, the sense of pressure almost overwhelming.

"This is exhilarating... brothers," Chen Xun’s face was slightly flushed, his hand gripping his Mountain Splitting Axe. "This is the real battlefield!"

"Moo moo!" Black Ox shook its head excitedly as they maneuvered between two massive warships, surrounded by other small boats, all hoping to stay afloat amidst the chaos.

"Humans... truly, truly impressive," Xiao Chi muttered, his voice trembling even through his spiritual transmission. "Brother Xun, how did we go from wandering aimlessly to... to going to war?"

"You know nothing. This isn’t just a battle; it’s about paving the way forward!"

Chen Xun’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he nodded in unison with Black Ox. "War doesn’t compare to this—it’s about opening new paths. You’re still young; you don’t understand."

"Moo!" Black Ox glanced at Xiao Chi, as if to say, "You lack experience; you're still far behind."
