Following the projection, beneath the Divine River airship, which was 1,200 meters long, was a biological entity exceeding 2,000 meters.
Worse still, this seemed to be only a partial display, not the whole creature.
"Damn, such a monster has appeared!"
Seeing this projection, Ye Yun's heart rate quickened.
Though he had encountered relatively large Xuan beasts on the continent before, compared to this, they were like ants!
This made Ye Yun suspect if it was a void beast of the legendary ghost's super Emperor tier.
However, at this moment, the nature of the monster was unimportant.
The black-feathered beasts surrounding them, having gathered in their thousands, launched a collective charge at the fleet.
"Everyone, prepare for battle!"
At this moment, all the cultivators on the airships began to condense their Xuan Qi.
As the black-feathered beasts completely penetrated the fleet, a fierce confrontation between humans and void beasts erupted instantly.
From the various airships, Xuan Crystal cannons and Xuan techniques flew out in unison, striking the black-feathered beasts head-on.
But the black-feathered beasts were far more resilient than expected; even those of the Xuan Immortal realm required a considerable barrage of attacks to bring down.
As for the Xuan Crystal cannon fire from the airships, it did little damage to them, at most slowing the advance of the numerous black-feathered beasts.
The only good news was that, so far, the cultivators on the airships remained calm, diligently resisting the onslaught of the black-feathered beasts.
The Divine River airship, being the largest target in the fleet, naturally drew the most black-feathered beasts.
As many as one to two hundred flew directly towards the Divine River airship, their sharp claws incessantly raking at the outer defenses.
"Elder Ye, hurry and act!"
From within the crowd, Zhao Wangsheng quickly reminded Ye Yun.
"We must quickly deal with these black-feathered beasts. With them here as guides, more void beasts will arrive soon! It's even possible a beast tide will erupt!"
Encountering a beast tide in the Void Sea was the most perilous thing, bar none!
At such times, one would face not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of void beasts.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun no longer hesitated and directly issued instructions to Delisa, who was beside him.
"Then let's resolve this quickly. Shoot down all the attacking black-feathered beasts!"
"Understood. This ship will engage in free attack."
Delisa nodded, and as her voice fell, the 108 Xuan Crystal converters, or more accurately, the floating turrets, located around the Divine River airship, began to launch continuously.
Zhao Wangsheng and the others had initially planned to go to the surroundings to help deal with the black-feathered beasts.
However, what happened next instantly shocked them.
They watched as streams of blazing beams roared from the crude cannon barrels, instantly forming a dense web of firepower around the airship.
The hundreds of turrets seemed to have their safeties disengaged; each shot accurately pierced a black-feathered beast.
Black-feathered beasts of Xuan Immortal, Earth Immortal, or even Heavenly Immortal realms were all instantly killed upon contact.
In just a moment, not only the black-feathered beasts surrounding the Divine River airship but also those in other parts of the fleet were rapidly being slaughtered.
This overwhelming suppressive power left the cultivators on other airships dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, this airship from Chaofeng Mountain is too overpowered!"
"What the hell, a single ship cannon killed a Heavenly Immortal realm void beast?!"
"It's too terrifying. If just one of those hit our airship, we'd be gone in an instant."
The cultivators on various airships were a mixture of shock and joy. On one hand, they were awestruck by the terrifying attack of the Divine River airship.
On the other hand, they were relieved that with the assistance of the Divine River airship, the pressure they faced was significantly reduced.
"My god... Elder Ye, this airship is too fierce!"
On the Divine River airship, Zhao Wangsheng was deeply impressed by the battle results.
In fact, Ye Yun also found it spectacular, but he calmly said,
"It's just alright. I haven't even used the more powerful functions yet."
"Good heavens..."
Zhao Wangsheng took a deep breath and nodded in admiration.
"It seems that with this airship here, we should be able to safely pass through the danger."
With such a powerful warship, coupled with his cultivation, it was enough to handle most situations.
However, Ye Yun's expression did not improve; he said grimly,
"I'm afraid this won't be so smooth. Didn't you see? There might be something else down there yet to emerge..."
At this moment, Ye Yao beside him also reminded,
"Master... Master? Don't you think the number of void beasts is increasing faster and faster?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yun, Zhao Wangsheng, and the others looked outside again.
Indeed, they keenly noticed that the number of black-feathered beasts, which had just been suppressed by the Divine River airship, had replenished.
In addition, various other, stronger void beasts were continuously emerging onto the surface and beginning to assault the fleet.
These later appearing void beasts were almost all Earth Immortals, Heavenly Immortals, and even mixed with a large number of True Saints, as well as a few True Immortals.
The appearance of so many powerful void beasts directly tore a hole in the fleet, and many smaller airships were directly overwhelmed under this assault.
The cultivators on those airships had ashen faces, continuously emitting screams.
"Help! Help!"
As the airships were destroyed, there was nothing left to protect them.
It was then that Ye Yun understood why cultivators below the True Saint realm would die miserably in the Void Sea.
After a main personnel transport airship was shattered, a void storm swept past within seconds.
Instantly, the void storm became like a death-grinder, tearing apart everyone caught within it alive.
For a time, piercing screams were incessant, making every listener's heart tremble.
On the Divine River airship, Lin Xueyan and the others saw this scene and pursed their lips, feeling a pang of sympathy.
"Damn it, this isn't good. I'm afraid we're really going to encounter a beast tide this time!"
Zhao Wangsheng, looking at his surroundings, cursed, his face grim as he looked at Ye Yun.
"As for that giant monster from before, it's very likely the mastermind behind this!"
Generally speaking, there were only two situations for a beast tide to erupt: either a powerful void beast was driving them from behind, or they were being driven by a powerful void beast.
And the situation encountered this time was likely the latter.
Ye Yun frowned and asked, "How strong do you think the monster down there is?"
"That... is hard to say."
Zhao Wangsheng took a deep breath and explained.
"Such a massive void beast, I've never seen one before. It's estimated to be at least Emperor tier!"
"Emperor tier?"
Ye Yun frowned. In fact, if it were truly Emperor tier, it would be easier.
But why did he always feel that what was coming from below was not just Emperor tier?
