I was going to use my second cultivation technique, opening a portal between this world and my shadow world.

I planned to suck away all these waves and move them all inside my shadow world. For a moment there, I got the feeling that I treat my shadow world as my own backyard, throwing anything and storing everything in there.

After all this, I had to pay a long visit to my world. I had to sort things inside, see what was the current situation inside, and also try to upgrade my cultivation base as well.

But would my technique be able to devour all these waves? That was the question I was going to answer very soon.

My technique was formed fast while I held the pillar with my right hand. Even if I was going to absorb waves, I had to make use of the temporary effect of my shield here.

It was currently dividing up the waves into two parts. Despite the two being connected, they sent two ends to envelop my shield.

And I wanted to aim at these two parts..

If I did, then I could try again and use the same skill to expand my shield. I’d have to pay lots of coins for that, but it was worth it.

I just had to see how my technique would do in front of these waves.

My portal appeared as big and wide as it used to be. Once it appeared there, tentacles came out from it, twisting around and trying to get attached with anything.

Like thick arms, the tentacles spread around without much control of mine over it. I didn’t hurry to try merging the first and second technique together, waiting for the result of this one.

“It’s working…” I watched a few tentacles getting in touch with the waves that were covering up my shield from all sides. Once they touched water, they started to absorb it madly, emptying a zone from water in a blink of an eye.

This worked! But the scale of its effects was still little to cause a desired effect.

“Time to merge the two together then,” I stored away my pillar, and started to make my first technique with my right hand. Then I started merging them together, ending with a grand black ball that was connected to my first technique’s circle by threads.

And with these threads I started to own total control over the tentacles.

“Come out!” I felt the lack of energy to expand the present tentacles and create even more.

If I needed energy, then my bones were the answer.

I filled my chariot with bones, before going all out and started to absorb their energy. I channelled them to go to my right arm, where they bypassed my secondary dantian and sphere energies there to go out towards the first technique.

I also spared part to go out to my left hand to support the second technique.

Like this I managed to create much more of these thick tentacles, and expand each to reach anywhere I wanted.

The shield covered an area of ten miles radius around my chariot in the centre. So I had to extend the tentacles close to five miles in each direction.

At first things looked hard and stressful over me. But gradually I managed to get used to such tasks, making a better job in controlling the tentacles.

I controlled them to work as spears, but then I thought about broadening their ends and letting them sweep the shield outer surface off water.

This helped in increasing the speed of absorbing salty water and making these waves lose most of their momentum and destructive powers.

Yet just when things started to stabilise, the second series of waves arrived with a big rumbling noise coming from the direction of that damn distant pillar!

A third wave was launched at this moment!

I controlled my technique and tried to release more tentacles from it. Standing in wait and trying to absorb any wave coming proved to be slow and pointless.

In the end, the series of waves would link together and I’d be trapped in such a dangerous situation for so long.

The little change here was that no wave would manage to bypass my shield and technique and go towards the land.

It might be a small detail but it made all the difference here. At least I wouldn’t have to worry about my kingdom getting buried under water.

Now I had to focus on how to end these waves in the most efficient and fastest way.

As I created more tentacles, I didn’t just stop at the edge of my shield like before. In exchange, I sent them like vanguard spears, moving towards the incoming waves and vanished deep in them.

I kept pushing them to exceed ten miles in length before I stopped, controlling them to start twisting fiercely around, as if they were big and mighty fans.

The effect of this didn’t show up early once I did that. But I was sure they were decreasing the amount of water in each coming wave. That would help my defending tentacles to clear water as fast as they could.

The effect of my vanguard tentacles showed after half an hour. When the fifth series of waves were created, and the fourth wave linked with my shield, the intensity of the waves became small and weak.

I could see the fourth series merging with what remained from the first three groups of waves. But even so, the waves at the front didn’t show the same fierce and roaring nature, looking much smaller and calmer.

My vanguard tentacles were finally showing results. Like this, the waves wouldn’t last until the arrival of the fifth wave.

As I anticipated, before the arrival of the fifth series of waves, the previous four crushed down and fell into the raging ocean surface.

And with this, I only had to deal with the fifth attack of waves. It meant I would be able to clear one wave at a time, relieving lots of pressure over my shoulders.

How are things going?
