Chapter 280: Chapter 278: The Final Round of the Sea Emperor Festival! Resisting the Ocean Demons Invasion! The Longest Survivor Wins!

Since he hadn’t anticipated the terrifying power of Canghai Wanxiang yesterday, Lin Tianming spent all his time comforting Ye Qingxue’s emotions.

Even though Ye Qingxue was clingier than usual yesterday, Lin Tianming stayed with her throughout to soothe her injured little heart.

Even when Ye Qingxue made the excessive request for him to hold her while sleeping, Lin Tianming did not refuse.

Thanks to Lin Tianming’s relentless efforts, Ye Qingxue, who woke up naturally today, recovered her usual cheerful and lively demeanor.

"Brother Tianming, get up quickly, we have to participate in the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival today!"

Yesterday, Ye Qingxue finally experienced Lin Tianming’s meticulous care, which truly made her happy.

However, Lin Tianming had been worn out by her all night, barely getting any sleep at all.

It’s not like you can sleep well in that situation!

This was the worst night’s sleep Lin Tianming had since crossing over.

He was groggily dragged out of bed by Ye Qingxue, yawning as he left the room.

Seeing the two of them come out, Tianshui, who had prepared breakfast for them, called out to them with a gentle voice.

"Come on you two, hurry over for breakfast, so you’ll have the energy to attend the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival later!"

"Okay, Teacher Tianshui!"

Compared to the bleary-eyed Lin Tianming, Ye Qingxue, who slept until she naturally woke, was full of energy.

After sweetly thanking Tianshui, she started eating straight away.

After breakfast ended, Tianshui, as usual, saw Ye Qingxue and Lin Tianming off to the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival.

On the way, Tianshui was preparing to explain the content of this final Sea Emperor Festival trial to Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue in advance.

"Tianming, Qingxue, you two must be prepared. This last round of the Sea Emperor Festival will require you to face Demons."

Lin Tianming, who was dozing in the car, immediately became alert upon hearing this.

"The last round will be facing Demons? Isn’t it said that Awakeners in Jiuzhou should be at least Level 60 to venture into the Land of Calamity?"

Tianshui patiently answered Lin Tianming’s question.

"Brother Tianming, the situation you mentioned refers to someone entering the Land of Calamity alone, but this time you have the Sea Emperor’s protection, and you won’t be entering the Land of Calamity on land, but will be teleported by the Sea Emperor to the edge of the Jiuzhou Sea Area, to combat Ocean Demons attempting to invade our Jiuzhou Sea Area."

Ye Qingxue had experienced it in her past life, so she had no questions.

Lin Tianming, after digesting the information provided by Tianshui, asked, "Teacher Tianshui, even with the Sea Emperor’s protection, us bunch of low-level Awakeners would still be in great danger if we encounter top Ocean Demons at the edge of the Jiuzhou Sea Area, how will the Sea Emperor ensure our safety?"

"Don’t worry; the Sea Emperor will block all Ocean Demons above Level 40 for you, you only need to stay within its Barrier and not run out. As long as you properly participate in the trial, there won’t be any danger.

If someone can’t withstand an attack from Ocean Demons of Level 40 or below, the Sea Emperor Power Protection will directly teleport those who can’t hold on back to the shoreline."

Hearing further information from Tianshui, Lin Tianming frowned and said, "Defending against Ocean Demons’ invasion within a Barrier?"

Tianshui nodded affirmatively, "Yes, this final round involves resisting the invasion of Ocean Demons below Level 40 within a Barrier set by the Sea Emperor. Whoever lasts the longest will be the winner."

"What’s the reward? Is there a time limit?"

"The reward is the Demons you kill while defending against the Ocean Demons’ invasion! The Sea Emperor will use its power protection on you to purify the Demons you’ve killed, transforming them into pure superpower energy for you to absorb directly. The more Demons you kill, the faster your leveling progress in this round."

In past years, the student who lasted the longest in the final round advanced three levels directly, and because it was the Sea Emperor Power assisting in the absorption and cultivation, there were no issues with unstable foundations at all!

As for the time limit, theoretically, the last round is one month long, but since the beginning of the Sea Emperor Festival, no one has ever lasted more than half a month, so you don’t have to worry too much about the time limit."

Having learned about the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival from Teacher Tianshui, Lin Tianming also gained a general understanding of it.

"Brother Tianming, keep it up, Qingxue believes you can definitely last more than half a month, and at least advance three levels in this final round!"

[In my past life, I only lasted half a month and advanced three levels. Now that I’m reborn, I conservatively estimate that I can advance at least four levels!]

Listening to the words and thoughts of Ye Qingxue by his side, Lin Tianming gained some understanding of the difficulty of the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival.

If Ye Qingxue could advance four levels, then he certainly could advance at least four levels too.

He’s now at Level 29, and advancing four levels would bring him to Level 33.

No wonder why, despite higher levels being harder to cultivate and advance, many people still manage to maintain efficient cultivation after reaching high levels.

As long as there are trials like the Sea Emperor Festival, and one has enough ability, there’s no fear of not being able to advance in level.

It didn’t take long for Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue to arrive at the site of the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival under the escort of Teacher Tianshui.

Not long after they arrived at the scene and the last twenty participants were all gathered, the host of the Sea Emperor Festival started introducing the content of the final round of trials.

Lin Tianming and Ye Qingxue had already heard about it from Teacher Tianshui, so they didn’t need to listen carefully.

Once the host finished introducing the content of the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival, he also declared the official start of the final round.

"All that needed to be said has been told to you. What achievements you can gain in the final round’s trial against the invasion of Ocean Demons is now up to you!

Now, I announce the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival officially begins!"

Following the resounding words of the host echoing across the nearby sea area, the depths of the ocean also transmitted the ethereal response of the Sea Emperor.

Subsequently, including Lin Tianming, all of the last twenty participants were protected by the Sea Emperor Power.

Accompanied by a flash of light, those who received the Sea Emperor Power Protection were directly teleported to the boundary deep sea area of the Jiuzhou Sea Area.

This place is the first line of defense of the Jiuzhou Sea Area, usually guarded by the Sea Emperor himself.

As Lin Tianming and the others were teleported here, they also directly entered the Barrier set up by the Sea Emperor to protect them.

The vast Barrier had twenty small outposts, each equipped with enough resources for them to squander for a month, ensuring they wouldn’t starve to death.

Although in theory, they had resources to last a month, when faced with the relentless assault of Ocean Demons, they would soon realize that even with these provisions, once their strength was exhausted, they would lose the possibility to continue surviving here.

This is also why, in the history of the final round of the Sea Emperor Festival trials, the person who lasted the longest also only made it for half a month.

Following another ethereal sound from the Sea Emperor, a portion of the Demons originally blocked by its power broke through the deliberately relaxed defensive lines and barged in.

These Ocean Demons were, without exception, between Level 1 and Level 40, just as Teacher Tianshui had said to Lin Tianming.

And those Ocean Demons above Level 40 remained isolated by the powerful Sea Emperor Power outside the outermost defensive lines of the sea area.

As more and more Ocean Demons poured in, they quickly gathered into a daunting dark tide of Ocean Demons, surging towards Lin Tianming and the others.

With the thought of the longer one persists here, the faster the level cultivation speed – as said by Teacher Tianshui – and with the Sea Emperor Power Protection upon him, Lin Tianming felt not the slightest fear.

It was time to go on a killing spree!
