Chapter 630: The space gate
Edits by akshaythedon
"Believe it or not, I personally saw your father emperor…" Long Yi suddenly paused. Originally, he wanted to say that her father emperor had personally killed his own wife in order to swindle his Blue Sea Divine Soul, merely, just when he thought about Blue Sea Divine Soul, he suddenly understood something.
Blue Sea Divine Soul, yes, Blue Sea Divine Soul. The Sea Emperor had personally ended the life of his own wife for this Blue Sea Divine Soul, in addition, he had also lost all the treasures in his treasury for it. In the past, Long Yi had yet to understand why the Sea Emperor wanted this Blue Sea Divine Soul – why he paid such a huge price without any complaint – but now, he seemed to understand. To activate the magic formation carved in the magic core that could control the Sea Swallowing Beast, he might need the special energy contained in Blue Sea Divine Soul. Like that, the Sea Emperor would be able to use the Sea Swallowing Beast as he willed.
If this truly was the case, then … Long Yi sneered in his heart, the Sea Emperor gave his enemy a wife and lose soldiers to the enemy as well.
"I don't believe it." Martha took a deep breath and faintly said. She neither wanted to know nor dared to hear the explanation of Long Yi. In addition, she felt bitter in her heart because she knew that a rift was born between her and Long Yi. Now, that feeling of her accelerating heartbeat just a moment ago when Long Yi appeared seemed like a good dream.
Long Yi just shrugged his shoulders and sighed in his heart. No matter what scheme the Sea Emperor had, he still needed to cooperate with him to oppose the Heavenly Demon King.
At that time, Iron Shark suddenly rushed over in a hurry and said, "Master, Demon Shark has returned."
The pupils of Long Yi shrunk, what the hell is the Sea Emperor doing? Didn't I tell him to delay Demon Shark as long as possible? I have just arrived here, but he is already back, could it be that Sea Emperor is doing this intentionally? Long Yi quickly tossed aside this thought. Although this old fogey Sea Emperor was an astute and deep schemer, there was no benefit for the latter if he was exposed at this time. Moreover, they must rely on each other. The Sea Emperor was not stupid enough to destroy himself.
"Iron Shark, go and help me look for a set of heavy armor. I will disguise as a heavily armored guard and stand at your side." Long Yi instructed as he guessed the reason for the quick return of Demon Shark.
"Yes, Master," Iron Shark replied.
When Martha saw Iron Shark addressing Long Yi as Master, her emotions became complicated for some unknown reason.
When everything was arranged, Demon Shark had already entered the restricted zone of the underground base.
"Patriarch, how come you returned so early? Did the Sea Race Convention go smoothly?" Iron Shark went to welcome Demon Shark and asked.
Demon Shark seemed to look and also not look at the two heavily armored guards behind Iron Shark and replied, "The Sea Race Convention went smooth. However, a problem occurred in Treasure Seizing Conference. I will tell you about it later. I returned quickly for a matter, but you don't need to care about it. Just speed up the manufacturing process of heavily armored guards. They might come in handy very soon."
"Yes, Patriarch." Iron Shark respectfully watched Demon Shark walking down the circular staircase and entering the central passage that only Demon Shark was qualified to enter.
"Iron Shark, does this passage Demon Shark entered directly lead to the place where Heavenly Demon King is sealed?" Long Yi asked.
"Replying to Master, I don't dare to confirm, but there must be something related to the Heavenly Demon King," Iron Shark replied.
"Lead me to the entrance of that passage," Long Yi instructed.
Iron Shark led Long Yi down the circular staircase. The manufacturing process of heavily armored guards was running in full swing. The slaves of various sea clans that were captured by Shark Clan were working desperately for their life. From time to time, physically weak slaves would collapse and the supervisor shark guards would kick them into a strange magic array emitting purple light below.
After walking down ten floors, Iron Shark pointed at a pitch black cave entrance and said, "Master, Demon Shark has entered this passage. There is a powerful barrier outside the cave entrance, and Demon Shark will detect even the slightest fluctuation in this barrier."
"You don't need to worry about it, I have my ways," Long Yi indifferently replied. When Demon Shark had entered the restricted zone, Long Yi had boldly attached his spirit power on him. He betted that the awakened section of the Heavenly Demon King's consciousness that was whole-heartedly focused on refining God's spirit was basically too busy to spare any attention to this factory. As it now seemed, his gamble succeeded.
When Demon Shark entered this passage, a section of his spirit power attached to Demon Shark remained behind to maintain the hole in the barrier. Because the barrier was opened using normal means and hadn't closed, no alarm was triggered. Therefore, Demon Shark was entirely unaware of it.
Long Yi entered the passage without any obstruction in front of the surprised gaze of Iron Shark. Because of the remaining section of his spirit power, Long Yi could sense his location. At this moment, he was not far away.
Inside the passage, it was not as dark as it was seen from outside. There was one illumination pearl every dozen or so steps. Perhaps these pearls were too far apart, the light of these pearls appeared dim.
Long Yi followed behind Demon Shark neither closely nor slowly. He discovered that this passage was surprisingly long.
After an hour, Long Yi suddenly could no longer sense his spirit power attached to Demon Shark. He was startled and quickly rushed forward.
"Eh … Is this a space gate?" Long Yi gazed at the milky-white light door at the end of this passage and muttered. Other than in Dragon Island's ancient battlefield of God and Demon, he was seeing this kind of space gate elsewhere for the first time. Merely, the space gate of Dragon Island required divine power to activate it, but he didn't know whether this space gate also had a similar restriction.
Long Yi reached out his hand. When his finger just came into contact with that milky-white halo, he was absorbed in. A black and white light shone in front of his eyes, and he unexpectedly appeared inside an undersea cave filled with seawater. He didn't know the source of this soft light, but he could clearly see even the lines on the walls.
Long Yi swam forward for a while and pressed his palm on the wall. He then felt a peculiar feeling which was also very familiar. He frowned and pondered.
Suddenly, Long Yi punched the wall. He finally recalled where he had felt this peculiar feeling before. At that time, when he, Yamei siblings, and Karl were passing through the undersea forest, they had discovered an undersea cave. The feeling of that cave walls was like this. He was absolutely sure. Later, because of the magic array of the cave wall, they were teleported to the Land of Holy Spirit.
"Could it be that this is Undersea Forest? Did Demon Shark come to see the Heavenly Demon King?" Long Yi thought and rushed forward.
Long Yi was inwardly annoyed with the complicated layout of this undersea cave, but he was suddenly able to sense his spirit power attached to Demon Shark again.
Chapter 631: Actually is Heaven Slaying Squid
Edits by akshaythedon
Long Yi was happy in his heart and swam forward, moving toward that spirit fluctuation.
After turning left and right, Long Yi got closer and closer to Demon Shark, but his speed suddenly slowed down.
"Something is wrong," Long Yi thought. In this undersea cave, he actually sensed the aura of the Heaven Slaying Squid. Could it be that big fellow was hiding here? Merely, could this small place accommodate that fellow's huge body?
Long Yi took the second turn and suddenly looked up. His heart involuntarily jumped. He saw that the ceiling of this cave was slowly wriggling. But, he still swam quietly as the corner of his eyes suddenly twitched.
"So that's how it is, I see…" A hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He finally figured out what was going on. If his guess was correct, then at this moment, he was within the Heaven Slaying Squid's body. These twisting and turning so-called undersea caves were, in fact, tubular passages within the Squid's body. It was very likely due to the seal; it had become rigid. But, some of its tentacles weren't affected, so they were still able to move freely. The wriggling ceiling Long Yi saw was the section where a tentacle and body were connected.
Fortunately, Long Yi was also a person who had experienced winds and waves. He immediately calmed down and continued to look for that spirit fluctuation.
Not long after, Long Yi stopped in front of a narrow cave entrance. He then quietly looked inside. The circumstances inside stunned him.
That was a huge flexible cavity. It was blackish purple in color with more than a hundred genitals-like holes around. Every once in a while, a small squid was "born" inside; presumably, they were used to manufacture heavily armored guards.
Within the cavity, there were over a hundred clansmen of Shark Clan busy bustling about. They would put just born squids into a water tank, then stand at one side. He could guess that after a certain amount was reached, they would be transported back to the underground base to manufacture heavily armored guards.
Long Yi scanned around. He could clearly sense that Demon Shark was inside, but he couldn't see his figure. It truly was strange.
Long Yi frowned, how could Demon Shark disappear without nary rhyme nor reason? He thought to use spirit power to probe around, but that might attract the attention of Heavenly Demon King, which would certainly be troublesome. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly retreated. He then found a completely rigid passage nearby and began to set up a transfer magic array. He linked this magic array only to that transfer magic array located at the outskirts of Sea Emperor City.
After setting it up, Long Yi carefully concealed it. As long as it was not activated, even if someone passed through here, they would discover nothing.
After everything was in its place and ready, Long Yi found the entrance to that cavity. Holding a transfer magic scroll, he let out his spirit power and cautiously began to probe inside.
When the spirit power of Long Yi made contact with the center part of this cavity, the lingering spirit power attached on Demon Shark began to react, and an image appeared in the mind of Long Yi. Demon Shark was humbly kneeling on the ground, and a ball of dark ink shadow was floating in front of him.
This illusory image just flashed for a moment and dissipated, but the entire body of Long Yi was already drenched with cold sweat. He then immediately retracted his spirit power and crushing the transfer magic scroll in his hand, he quietly disappeared from this place. Just after Long Yi disappeared, chilly and strange energy swept past this place. If Long Yi was even half a second slower, then he might have been discovered.
A magic array in a certain area of the sea imperial palace suddenly lit up, and a figure suddenly appeared at the center of this magic array. He was none other than Long Yi who had just escaped from inside the Heaven Slaying Squid.
At that time, for just in case, Long Yi had set up a transfer magic array before he went to the Land of Holy Spirit. Now, it truly became useful. Originally, he wanted to link some transfer magic scroll to that transfer magic array located at the outskirts of Sea Emperor City. However, after thinking of that terrifying divine sense of the Heavenly Demon King, he left behind a route of retreat. Even if the divine sense of Heavenly Demon King had the ability to trace back to Sea Emperor City, it was fine. As long as he didn't notice that transfer magic array linked to the main transfer magic array located in the imperial palace of Soaring Dragon City, everything else was fine.
"Long Yi, how come you are back alone? Where is my daughter Martha?" The Sea Emperor had come over after hearing the noise and asked urgently.
Long Yi looked at the Sea Emperor with displeasure and replied, "Your Majesty, I need an explanation, why did Demon Shark return to the underground base of the Land of Holy Spirit immediately after me? As for your daughter, we can talk later."
"Demon Shark said that he had an urgent matter, and he was determined to leave no matter how much I tried to stop him. Were you discovered?" The complexion of the Sea Emperor changed and asked.
"I shouldn't have, Your Majesty. I think we don't have much time. You should prepare your public and secret army, but you must not reveal anything. We much make a preempt attack," Long Yi faintly said.
"What did you discover?" Sea Emperor asked with deep concern.
"I have already found the location where the Heavenly Demon King is sealed. Now, he is wholeheartedly refining God's spirit to remove his seal. When he breaks out of his seal, we will immediately launch an attack and annihilate him." Long Yi clenched his fist, but his expression was very flat. The Heavenly Demon King must exhaust a large amount of energy to break the seal, so his strength would be greatly reduced the moment he broke out of the seal. That was the best chance to attack him.
The Sea Emperor nodded his head. His expression was also solemn.
"Oh, that's right, I met your daughter Martha. She is still alive and kicking," Long Yi said with a smile.
"That's good, that's good." The Sea Emperor sighed in relief and a hint of a smile appeared on his solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, I want to apologize for a matter. Because Martha was blaming herself for the death of her mother, thinking she had caused her death, I couldn't bear and told her the truth," Long Yi said with his face filled with a guilty conscience.
The corner of Sea Emperor's mouth twitched. He truly wanted to dismember this cunning man by five horses. Merely, he must endure now. After dealing with the Heavenly Demon King, see how he will torture this brat.
"Oh, in addition, after hearing this matter, Martha became even sadder for some unknown reason. She was also muttering something about some beasts, also about something magic core and so on. I didn't hear it clearly, but when I asked her, she didn't speak, I wonder if Your Majesty knows what she was speaking about," Long Yi shook his head and sighed.
The eyes of the Sea Emperor flashed with ominous light as he guessed how much Long Yi knew. He was very clear about the character of his daughter Martha. She will never speak that secret matter, merely after hearing the matter of her mother, it was hard to say for sure whether she revealed something or not when her mind was chaotic.

Long Yi didn't hang onto this issue with the Sea Emperor for long. He just spoke about it a bit to make the Sea Emperor paranoid.
Then, they discussed the details of their surprise attack behind closed doors and carefully deliberated over and over again, deciding the overall situation. The next stage was to secretly gather all their strength and achieve the result in one fell swoop.
"Long Yi, now it seems that you have to return to Blue Waves Continent to gather and bring all the experts over here. You also know the consequences of the Heavenly Demon King breaking out of the seal," the Sea Emperor solemnly said.
"That's natural, I also hope that during this great calamity, Your Majesty will not hide your private force," Long Yi replied to the Sea Emperor.
Long Yi left the imperial palace of the sea. Now, the overcrowded streets due to the Sea Race Convention were very spacious and also weren't as bustling as in the past. But, there were still many vassal forces of the Sea Emperor and the three strongest sea clans. Both sides were strategizing, and the Sea Race Convention ceased all activities quite early.
Long Yi wanted to go to the residence of Miluo Clan to see Bifei and Xiaomi, but thinking of the current situation, he rushed over to the abandoned mine located at the outskirts of the city where he had previously set up a transfer magic array. He then teleported inside the body of Heaven Slaying Squid sealed in the Undersea Forest and gingerly searched for the path he had used to come here to return to the space gate and then used the space gate to return to the passage of the underground base. Wearing heavy armor, he walked out of the barrier outside the cave entrance. Seeing Iron Shark was still guarding the cave entrance, he sighed in relief.
The reason why Long Yi had returned to the Land of Holy Spirit was to instruct Iron Shark and Golden Shark about something. Moreover, he also had forgotten to set up a magic array in the residence of Iron Shark. If he had used Bai Yu to fly over from Sea Emperor City to the Land of Holy Spirit, then he would have wasted a lot of time, so he returned the same way from inside the body of Heaven Slaying Squid.
"Iron Shark, let me take charge of all your shark guards; kill everyone that you aren't sure you can control." Returning to the residence of Iron Shark, Long Yi narrowed his eyes and instructed.
"Replying to Master, all the shark guards stationed here are my trusted subordinates, even if I make them commit suicide, no one will even frown and obey the order without question," Iron Shark confidentially answered.
"That's good." Long Yi smiled as dense, killing intent flashed through his narrowed eyes. He had not felt this kind of impulse for a long time.
"Master, how should we deal with the sea princess?" Iron Shark pointed at Martha, who was isolated inside the barrier and asked.
"Let her be. As for the magic core that controls the Sea Swallowing Beast, hehe, I will talk later." Long Yi smiled, but his eyes weren't smiling. The wishful thinking of the Sea Emperor, perhaps, was just making a wedding dress for someone else.
He set up another transfer magic array in the room of Iron Shark and then went to instruct Golden Shark.
After walking out of the residence of Iron Shark, Long Yi saw a row of shark guards bringing a hundred or so sea people to the front of that crater, and push them all down that strange magic array emitting a purple light without any hesitation.
Long Yi suddenly stopped and felt that he had ignored a crucial matter.
"Iron Shark, what is the use of this magic array? Why are they tossing these sea people into that magic array?" Long Yi frowned and asked.
"Replying to Master, this magic array is called Energy Gathering Magic Array. It is used to absorb the energy of sea people and supply that energy to the Heavenly Demon King," Iron Shark replied.
"Is this magic array directly connected to the Heavenly Demon King?" The nerves of Long Yi suddenly tightened as he asked.
"I don't know, but I guess it is like that," Iron Shark replied.
"Before launching the attack, at all events, destroy it," Long Yi ordered with unquestionable tone. To guard against all contingencies, this magic array absolutely couldn't remain.
"Yes, Master," Iron Shark respectfully answered.
After instructing Golden Shark, Long Yi returned to the abandoned mine via transmission magic array. Then, linking the transmission magic array of the abandoned mine to the main transmission magic array, he returned to Soaring Dragon City again.
The Dragon Race Convention was already nearing its end. Now, both Demonic Dragon Clan and Divine Dragon Clan had discarded their original forms of address. They called themselves just Dragon Clan, no longer attached demonic and divine in the front. They also had come into agreement about the merger details.
But, Blue Waves Continent's first Magic and Combat Conference was still progressing like fire. Many experts of the entire continent had gathered in Soaring Dragon City, even old monsters who were living in seclusion for several years had come to attend.
When Long Yi returned to Soaring Dragon City, Ximen Nu was watching the final stage of Magic and Combat Conference along with his wife and daughters-in-law.
One had to say that this idea of continental level Magic and Combat Conference was quite good. Generally, among mages and warriors of this world, who didn't like fame and wealth? In this Magic and Combat Conference, not to mention youth division battle competition, there was even a special division for already famous seniors. Because this Magic and Combat Conference also had free division, who didn't want to strive for the throne of the first under heaven? In the past, because three empires were fighting openly and maneuvering covertly against each other, no one was able to hold such a continental Magic and Combat Conference. But now, Ximen Nu had accomplished it. Not a single expert wanted to get trampled under the foot of others, so this conference was bustling like never before. There were numerous participants and not only humans, but the experts of other races had also participated. One could well imagine how enormous the scale of this conference was.
In a flower garden inside the imperial palace, a woman wearing a pure white gown was floating in a pavilion. She was staring at the dreamy drizzle in a daze. It appeared as if the bustling world outside had nothing to do with her.
"From now on, my home is your home." Unexpectedly, a boundless Huangmang Plain appeared in the mind of this woman, and a firm voice of a man resounded in her mind.
"Where is your home?"
"Higher than Condor could fly, have a son's place called home, and daughter can walk far away, have parents' place called home, and my home, at the end of the world…"
The woman seemed to be dreaming. She reached out her hand and feeling that cold drizzle, she muttered, "Without you, the end of the world is not home. Without you, Wushuang is just rootless duckweed."
"Big sister Wushuang." At that time, a sweet voice came.
The blurred eyes of Wushuang instantly returned to its usual indifference. She turned around and indifferently watched two graceful figures flying over. They were Mu Hanyan and Mu Jingjing.
Mu Hanyan was wearing a black skirt with purple edges, and Mu Jingjing was wearing an eye-catching skintight red outfit. One looked proud and the other looked hot.
It had already been half a month since these two sisters had arrived here. They didn't know the current situation of the war of Blue Moon Continent. Did Cyan Wind Empire still exist? Was their father emperor still safe and sound?
The great calamity of Blue Waves Continent was approaching, so Long Yi was busy with his matters, so where could he have free time to care about the existence of Cyan Moon Empire of Blue Moon Continent? Therefore, they had no other choice but to wait, and although it was bustling outside, they were not in a mood to participate in it.
Wushuang had come from the Lost City. The holy temple of that place was almost identical to the holy temple of Blue Moon Continent's Cyan Wind Empire. Even their script was also precisely the same. Mu Hanyan was sure that the person that built Lost City was someone who came from Blue Moon Continent. Merely, every time she asked Wushuang, Wushaung would just indifferently say she didn't know and also didn't want to know.
"Is there something for you two to look for me?" Wushuang indifferently asked.
Mu Hanyan shook her head and said, "Xiangyun and others went to see the competition, Jingjing and I were strolling around, and we just happened to see you. So we came to greet you."
Wushaung nodded her head and no longer spoke. Then, she continued to watch the drizzle outside. Thinking about the time she spent with Long Yi, she felt like she had a long dream.
"Big sister Wushuang, you miss Long Yi?" Mu Jingjing said.
"He is my everything." A hint of affection flashed through the eyes of Wushuang and recalled the words of Long Yi, from now on, your name is Wushuang, Wushuang (无双) – unparalleled in the world (天下无双).
He is also my everything, Mu Hanyan too muttered in her heart.
The three women strangely sunk into their thoughts without speaking. But, the man they were dreaming about was the same person.
Peng peng, peng peng
Suddenly, Wushuang grabbed her chest; her beautiful icy face seemed to light up, and a hint of excitement flashed through her eyes.
No matter if the seas run dry, the rocks crumble, or the blue seas turn into mulberry fields, my heart only beats for you.
"Long Yi." Wushuang rushed into the drizzle and searching for the origin of that peculiar sensation; she jumped into the bosom of that person who had just appeared.
Peng peng, peng peng
The chest of the duo stuck together. As if they shared a single heart, their heartbeat resonated. For Wushuang, this unified heartbeat was her home, the love she had waited for thousands of years.
Long Yi hugged Wushuang and kissed her tender lips. Then, he looked towards Mu Hanyan and Mu Jingjing standing in the pavilion.
Long Yi was aware that he owed Mu Hanyan a lot. The love of this woman for him was not inferior to any of his women. She gave her body, Bai Yu, Wind God's mark, and nearly even her own life to him.
A beauty's heavy affection!
He had so many unrivaled beauties, and Long Yi was very proud and delighted. Merely, he was only one, and there were many beauties. It was hard to avoid misgivings sometimes, and he felt very conscience-stricken.
After a good while, Wushaung looked up from the bosom of Long Yi and moved away from his chest. For her, having Long Yi around and feeling that rhythmic heartbeat was already satisfying enough.
Mu Hanyan rushed over to Long Yi and smiled happily.
"This little woman greets Your Majesty the Crown Prince." Mu Hanyan greeted him like a little girl, following the etiquette. But, she had an alluring smile on her face as if she had reverted to the time when they had ambiguous feelings between them. At this moment, she no longer wished to request Long Yi to give a helping hand to Cyan Wind Empire. She just wanted to find that feeling of the past, even if it was only for a trivial amount of time.
Chapter 633: Jade Blood illuminating the world
Edits by akshaythedon
With regards to the internal strife of Blue Moon Continent beyond Hengduan Mountains, Long Yi could only feel sorry. This moment was the perfect chance to annihilate the Heavenly Demon King. Which matter was severe – he believed that Mu Hanyan sisters could also understand.
Indeed, Mu Hanyan was very understanding. Seeing Long Yi had returned, she just accompanied him to her heart's content while chatting and laughing, despite the bitterness and pain hiding behind this smile.
The light rain didn't stop, but the sky was already dimmer now. Long Yi chatted with Wushuang and Mu Hanyan sisters for a good while and decided to go to the continental conference hall to watch today's finals.
On an arena shrouded with a powerful barrier, two figures locked in an intense fight looked dazzling. They neither used douqi nor magic. They were using just pure skill and ability.
"Eh, Murong Bo, that old fart also likes to vie for fame and wealth?" Long Yi looked at the arena and saw that one of those two fighters was Sword God Murong Bo. As for his opponent, he was an emaciated old fogey he had never seen before. Long Yi guessed that he might be an ancient expert living in seclusion.
"Brother-in-law, why aren't they using douqi?" Mu Jingjing pulled the sleeve of Long Yi and enquired.
"I think that old man is also an expert who has already reached Sword God realm. If two Sword God used douqi to fight, then let alone this continental conference hall, the entire Soring Dragon City will turn into a pile of debris. Now, they are only using pure skill and ability to fight." Long Yi replied as he frowned a little. He was able to tell that these two were evenly matched in strength; merely, these two people seemed to be fighting with vigor. Their every move was fiercer than the other. Although they weren't using douqi, after reaching this realm, they could kill people without using douqi.
Sure enough, just after Long Yi had spoken, that emaciated old man roared and jumped. The massive sword in his hand dazzled as he directly thrust it towards the chest of Murong Bo.
Murong Bo brandished his sword and his sword scrape past the opponent's sword tip at lightning speed and slashed towards the opponent's neck.
"Clang!" The cross-shaped hilt of that emaciated old man's sword blocked the sword of Murong Bo.
These two Sword Gods, flushed with agitation, were locked onto each other. Suddenly, they heard a shattering sound, and their swords simultaneously broke. Since Murong Bo was the main attacker, he was in an advantageous position. Even after their swords broke, he continued to slash his broken sword towards the neck of this emaciated old man. As for that emaciated old man, he caught the broken tip of his sword with another hand and stabbed it toward the heart of Murong Bo. Seeing both sides were about to suffer, all the spectators cried out in alarm.
The heart of Ximen Kuang and Ximen Nu in the referee seats jumped. Even if they wanted to intervene, they were already too late. They, however, were Sword Gods, if either one or both of them died on this arena, then that would be a tremendous loss.
At that moment, a blurred figure flashed over, and the powerful barrier around the arena instantly shattered. Then, along with the sound of crashing, everyone saw Murong Bo and that old man retreat a few steps back with a deathly pale complexion. They were also gasping for breath. At the center of the arena, a handsome youth wearing silvery white silk gown with his unruly black hair tied up on his head had appeared.
"His Majesty the Crown Prince, it's His Majesty the Crown Prince," the spectators cheered.
"He is deserved to be called His Majesty the Crown Prince. Even two Sword Gods aren't his opponent; I think it is basically unneeded to compete for this seat of first under heaven. His Majesty the Crown Prince fully deserves it." Someone from the gallery shouted, and others chimed in.
Long Yi waved his hand and spread his spirit power all around. The scene immediately quieted down. He then looked at these thousands of spectators and spoke in a clear, loud voice, "Today, in this hall, there are chiefs of their respective powers including the experts from all over this Blue Waves Continent, so I want to announce something. As for who is the first under heaven, it is not important at the moment. A great calamity is right around the corner, so our most urgent priority is for all of us to unite and jointly decide our fate. I know many people don't believe it, but I can confidently say you all that my words aren't just an exaggeration to scare. As for the specific circumstances of this great calamity, the specialists will resolve your doubts."
In the imperial palace of Soaring Dragon City, all famous experts of the continent had gathered. Ximen Nu had already dispatched specialists to explain the entire story of the great calamity.
And at this moment, Long Yi, however, was in the inner palace. He looked solemn. Only the people he trusted were around him. The clansmen of Dragon Clan, his wives, family members, Barbarian Bull, and Li Qing were also among them.
"I have already found the location where the Heavenly Demon King is sealed, and the entire Shark Clan is also almost in my grasp. I observed that the Heavenly Demon King is about to break his seal and come out. Our mission is to annihilate him the instant he breaks out of the seal. Otherwise, the entire world would become a bloody hell." Long Yi frowned and narrowed his eyes.
"Boy, we'll follow your orders, now we have gathered the entire power of the continent and also the Sea Race, I cannot believe that we cannot annihilate that Heavenly Demon King," Murong Bo said.
Long Yi retold everything he and the Sea Emperor had arranged and emphasized that they must kill the Heavenly Demon King with this attack.
The rain got bigger and bigger, and now the sky was completely dark.
Late at night, all experts completely understood what was going on. They then gathered in twos and threes and discussed intensely. They had never thought that the war of God and Demon 100,000 years ago was actually so tragic. Seven Main Gods were cursed, the Heavenly Demon King was sealed, more than half of the continent sunk, and the entire brilliant civilization was destroyed to near extinction.
"Eh, what is this smell?" A middle-aged man wearing the attire of Earth Master Magician asked one person beside him in surprise.
Having heard the question, the people beside them also noticed a faint smell of blood blowing inside the hall from outside.
Like this, everyone noticed this situation. Moreover, the smell of blood was getting stronger and stronger.
Everyone moved to the entrance of this hall and looked outside, borrowing the light of a magic lamp swaying in the wind. Then, they saw that the heavy rain was blood-red in color now.
A water magician waved the magic staff in his hand, and the raindrops condensed into a red water ball and floated in front of him. Then, a Great Swords Master reached out his hand and poked this water ball, then he smelled his finger and lowered his voice, "What a thick smell of blood."
Everyone was surprised and bewildered. Magicians launched light balls outside in succession, and under the illumination of several light balls, the scene they saw stunned everyone. They saw that blood-red clouds were floating in the sky, and blood red heavy rain was falling everywhere.
"Blue waves in chaos, Lightning God descends, jade blood illuminating the human world, cleaving the firmaments relying on the sword. Jade blood illuminating the human world, jade blood illuminating the human world, is this it?" Long Yi suddenly recalled the prophecy of Xiao Yi looking at the blood red sky and muttered.
Chapter 634: Charging into Undersea City

The bloody rain finally stopped at the dawn of the next morning, and the bloody clouds in the sky also dispersed slowly. However, the thick smell of blood in the air and puddles–resembling a pool of blood on the ground–were still there.
At the moment, the entire Blue Waves Continent was in a panic. Bloody rain was the sign of the doomsday. Some old people spoke about it to other people.
Ximen Nu, the Blue Waves Emperor, quickly gave a speech in public to prevent the rumors from spreading, saying this bloody rain was a normal phenomenon. Numerous scholars also supported him in succession, and jointly made an announcement, making people feel at ease a little. This was the use of a powerful unified nation.
In the imperial palace of Soaring Dragon City, Long Yi was caressing the stomach of Nangong Xiangyun that had not clearly protruded yet. But, he could clearly sense his bloodline inside.
"Kid, stay properly in the stomach of your mother, don't toss and roll around. Wait for your father to return with victory, then your father will stay close to you." Long Yi said with a smile.
"My husband, our baby will still be in my stomach, so how will you stay close to him?" Nangong Xiangyun asked with a smile. Her entire body was emitting a kind of gentle motherly radiance.
"I will stay close to my little Xiangyun, isn't that also staying close to this kid?" Long Yi said with a bad smile.
"So hateful." Nangong Xiangyun pounded Long Yi with her soft fist, but her breathing was getting rapid. Because of pregnancy, she was a bit more eager to ** than before, but she knew that the first three months of pregnancy was the most dangerous time. So, she didn't dare to mess around. As for Long Yi, he just smiled and hugged her. Currently, she was gentle like a virtuous woman, but in the past, she used to be an infamous fierce miss. Just thinking about how wild, unruly, and full of pride she was in the past, Long Yi couldn't help sighing with emotion; years truly flow like water.
Hearing the sigh of Long Yi, Nangong Xiangyun looked up and asked what happened.
Long Yi told her what he was thinking, and Nangong Xiangyun burst into laughter, then her gaze looking at Long Yi turned tender and soft like water.
"Yes, so many years have passed. At that time, Nu'er was still a child, but now, he has become a General. Thinking about it, it truly feels like a dream." Nangong Xiangyun replied with a smile.
"Life is but a dream. As long as we grasp the present, we will definitely be happy." Long Yi affectionately kissed the forehead of Nangong Xiangyun.
When these two people were deeply attached to each other, Ximen Nu had sent someone over to call Long Yi.
......
"Yu'er, I leave everything regarding this matter to you," Ximen Nu said.
Now, the hall was filled with first-rate experts of the entire Blue Waves Continent.
Long Yi stepped onto the platform of this hall. Looking below at everyone, he started, "This mission concerns the survival of the entire world. That bloody rain is the sign of the doomsday, we must kill the danger when it is still a bud. The Heavenly Demon King is about to break out of the seal, do you all dare to go with me to kick the butt of a tiger?"
"There is nothing we don't dare, the Heavenly Demon King is just a **, if anyone is afraid, then you might as well return to your mother's womb and stay there." A middle-aged man who had already reached the Sword Saint realm loudly replied.
"Hehe, if a tiger comes across us, it will obediently turn into a cat."
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince, just say what we need to do, if this father even frowns a little, then this father is a coward."
Hearing the rough words of people below, Long Yi smiled and replied, ��Since no one is afraid, then listen to my arrangement. We will teleport to Undersea City in groups, then we will see who is a hero and who is a coward at that time."
In the group that was going to Undersea City, there were Li Qing, Barbarian Bull, Tyrant Bear, Mercenary King Mo Yan, Wushuang, Sibi, Long Ling'er, Ximen Wuhen, Sui Ruoyan, Leng Youyou, Feng Ling, Linna, the Shaman of Winged Clan Ou Yala, Patriarch of Fox Clan Bertha and others. Most of Long Yi's women were going because they were extremely powerful. Nalan Ruyue who still needed to manage Nalan Empire and Beitang Yu who had to stay behind to bring up the rear with the army, however, were not participating in this mission.
"Since you all are going to Undersea City, how can this big sister be absent?" Suddenly, a pleasant voice resounded as a woman wearing fiery red skintight clothing and carrying a fiery red huge bow on her shoulder walked in. She, however, was none other than Red Lady Long Yi had not met for a long time.
"It turned out to be elder sister! This younger brother has been searching for you for a long time, but there was no news of you." Upon seeing Red Lady he had not seen for a long time, Long Yi was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but he went over and welcomed her with a smile.
"It seems this younger brother is not admitting a fault, didn't you forget this big sister after you became the Crown Prince?" Red Lady chuckled, causing her big bosom to shake. This, in turn, attracted the eyes of all men that were present.
Come to speak of it, Red Lady had already disappeared from public eyes for several years, but everyone in this place, in addition to hermits, was a senior of Blue Waves Continent, and many of them had enjoyed talking about the legend of the first S-ranked female mercenary.
Mercenary King Mo Yan and Red Lady were both S-ranked mercenaries, so they naturally exchanged pleasantries.
"My husband, my mother, and I also want to join!" Yet another voice resounded in the hall, and Lu Xiya and her mother Elf Queen wearing elven armor came in. The Elf Queen was carrying a longbow on her back – it was the Great Nature Sigh found in Lost City.
"Lu Xiya, Your Majesty the Queen, I thought that you were not coming." Long Yi held the hand of Lu Xiya and glanced at the Elf Queen with shifty eyes. His ambiguous expression made the maiden heart of Elf Queen jump.
But, before Long Yi had time to speak more with this cute Elf Princess Lu Xiya, he heard a little girl shouting "father", and immediately afterward, a little chubby girl had already rushed into his bosom. All the experts of Dragon Race who had returned to Dragon Island to make preparations had arrived. Among them, there were Liuxu, Midi'er siblings, Crystal, and Sharman. Even Fandi husband and wife duo who had yet to completely recover had also rushed over to cheer.
When everyone had arrived, the sound of war drums resounded throughout Soaring Dragon City and all the soldiers of major legions were neatly lined up in rows. In the huge square of the imperial palace, more than 10,000 experts of various races of Blue Waves Continent were given a farewell dinner.
"Young Master, Liuli also wants to go." A beautiful mermaid said with a firm look.
"Although God's spirit might have already been refined, you have to stay behind for just in case." Long Yi caressed the beautiful hair of Liuli and replied.
"But…"
"Listen to me, Liuli."
"Oh."
Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content. Some were excited and some were serious, but all of them walked toward the hall where the main transmission magic array was set up under the lead of court magicians without any hesitation.
Long Yi had enlarged this transmission magic array, so it could teleport one hundred people at a time. Even like that, to send these more than 10,000 people, this transmission magic array should be used more than one hundred times. This made Long Yi think: if I could set up a transmission magic array that could teleport 10,000 people at a time, then wouldn't it be a lot easier in the future wars? This was a good idea, but it was simply impossible to truly set up this kind of ultra large magic array because of the fact that the combination of magic array's lines should be very precise. If a magic array should be enlarged a hundred times, then the lines should also be expanded a hundred times without a single error. A single person couldn't do such work.
The first group that was teleported to Undersea City was Long Yi and the best experts of all races.
Because Long Yi had set up the magic array of Undersea City at the enormous abandoned mine of Miluo Clan, it was not difficult to accommodate more than 10,000 people.
"Undersea City is really mystical." Murong Bo watched the blue sea and various fishes swimming in it outside the isolation barrier and sighed with emotion.
"Old man, wait until we annihilate the Heavenly Demon King before you sigh. Now, I will go to contact the Sea Emperor, the rest will continue to guard this place," Long Yi spoke to Murong Bo and the others.
When the experts of Blue Waves Continent were coming one group after another from the transmission magic array, Long Yi was already sitting face to face with the Sea Emperor in the sea imperial palace.
"Did you bring the experts of Blue Waves Continent?" Sea Emperor enquired.
"Of course, I wonder how Your Majesty's arrangements are," Long Yi asked a question in reply.
Sea Emperor waved his hand and a map appeared in his hand. He spread out this map on the table and said, "This is the map of Undersea City. Look, these are the territories of Shark Clan, Whale Clan, and Shihun Clan. When we launch the attack, my people will besiege the territories of these three clans from these directions. As for the clans affiliated to these three clans, I will dispatch another army to impede them."
"Your Majesty, the Land of Holy Spirit is already under my control. We have to separate a portion of experts to ambush the underground base below the Land of Holy Spirit, and another portion should directly enter via the transmission magic array I set up, and the rest should go to Undersea Forest and destroy the physical body of the Heavenly Demon King," Long Yi pointed at the Land of Holy Spirit and then at Undersea Forest and put forth his ideas.
"Okay, let's do that!" The Sea Emperor nodded in agreement.
"Then, I will go and arrange our experts first. Your Majesty should also arrange yours as fast as possible," Long Yi said and left the secret room.
Sea Emperor looked at the disappearing back view of Long Yi and suddenly smiled coldly as a pallid light flashed through his eyes. He then opened his mouth and a ball of dark green light flew out from his mouth and floated in front of him.
"Long Yi, why didn't you just obediently hand over Blue Sea Divine Soul? This emperor's empress died. Moreover, you emptied this emperor's treasury. Now, how do you think this emperor should treat you?" Sea Emperor muttered with a cold face. He then spread open his right hand and the Blue Sea Divine Soul floated above his right palm. Under the illumination of the green light, he looked very sinister.
As for Long Yi, after he left the secret room, he paused and a hint of a sneer appeared on his face. He then disappeared from inside the sea imperial palace.
Chapter 635: Heavenly Demon King (1)
Edits by akshaythedon
After Long Yi walked out of the imperial palace of the sea, his steps slowly stopped, and after thinking for a bit, he walked towards the residence of Miluo Clan.
Long Yi discussed with Miluo Patriarch for a long time. As for what they discussed about, no one knew. Long Yi then met Bifei and Xiaomi and rushed back to the discarded mine at the outskirts of Sea Emperor City.
At this moment, the discarded mine was crowded with people. They were more than ten thousand experts of Blue Waves Continent. For them who had never been in Undersea City, everything here clearly seemed mystical.
"Your Majesty the Crown Prince." Seeing Long Yi had returned, the experts greeted him in succession.
Long Yi divided these more than ten thousand experts into three groups. One group went into hiding in the underground base below the Land of Holy Spirit and waited for the opportune moment to go into action. There were roughly one thousand people in this group. The second group would follow Long Yi to enter the body of the Heavenly Demon King and attack his spirit the instant he breaks out of the seal. There were roughly one hundred experts in this group, but all of them were peak experts. The final group consisted of all the rest, roughly ten thousand experts. They were to enter Undersea Forest to destroy the physical body of the Heavenly Demon King.
After the arrangement, Long Yi led the first group into the underground base below the Land of Holy Spirit via transmission magic array.
"Iron Shark, did anything unusual happen?" Long Yi asked Iron Shark after making these one thousand experts go into hiding wearing the heavy armor.
"Replying to Master, after Demon Shark returned, he mobilized some shark guards. It seems he wants to make the move," Iron Shark replied.
Long Yi smiled. Perhaps, since the Heavenly Demon King was about to break out of the seal, Demon Shark was preparing to cooperate with the Heavenly Demon King to clean up the entire Sea Race.
"Iron Shark, guard this underground base properly and follow all my instructions to the letter. You must not make any errors," Long Yi gave orders to Iron Shark.
"Master can rest assured, this Iron Shark will accomplish the task Master instructed even if I need to give up my life," Iron Shark pledged.
Long Yi nodded his head. He then looked at that crater where people were still busy about doing their task and frowned unconsciously. He didn't know why but there was an inexplicable and obscure feeling of stifling in his heart.
After returning to the residence of Iron Shark, Long Yi thought to use transmission magic array to immediately return to that abandoned minefield, but upon seeing the restricted Sea Princess Martha, he thought to undo her restriction. In the beginning, he had planned to use her as a bargaining chip, but since the Sea Emperor had even killed his own wife for Blue Sea Divine Soul, how could his daughter be precious enough? He could sacrifice her for benefit without a second thought.
Martha saw Long Yi, but she continued to indifferently watch the stone wall in a daze.
"After the matter of the Heavenly Demon King, I will release you," Long Yi said to Martha.
Martha, however, didn't utter a word as if she basically didn't hear his words.
Long Yi raised his eyebrows, but said nothing, and then prepared to enter the transmission magic array.
"I can give you the method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts, but I hope you will be magnanimous and let my father emperor off." Martha suddenly opened her mouth. There was no emotional fluctuation in her voice and also didn't look at Long Yi as if she was speaking to the empty void.
Long Yi slightly narrowed his eyes, the method to controls Sea Swallowing Beasts? This was a tempting offer. But, he had to admire the wisdom of Martha, and he was even surprised. It seems it was not that she didn't understand the nature of her father, rather she had never dared to believe it.
"How did you know that your father emperor will be defeated by me for sure?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"Intuition, my father emperor is not your opponent," Martha indifferently replied.
"If your father emperor is willing, then I can spare his life, but before that, you first have to tell me the location and number of Sea Swallowing Beasts," Long Yi sat opposite to Martha and said with a smile.
"I don't know," Martha replied without hesitation.
"I find it very hard to believe. If you don't know, then how were you able to create the method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts?" Long Yi enquired.
"If you don't believe it, then I also can't do anything about it," Martha indifferently responded.
Long Yi stared fixedly at Martha and said with a smirk, "You are very intelligent. If I can't find Sea Swallowing Beasts, then it's useless even if you tell me the method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts, but here, you are also presenting a condition for it. Moreover, if the method you gave me lacks some details, then when your father attacks with Sea Swallowing Beasts, then the method you gave me will be even more useless than a fart. Martha, you always have some hope for your father. You hope that he would be the final winner. Hehe, but I am afraid you will be disappointed."
A hint of fluctuation finally appeared in the indifferent expression of Martha. She then looked at Long Yi as if she was trying to see through Long Yi.
"Long Yi, I still underestimated you," Martha said.
"Don't overrate me, otherwise, I will be shy," Long Yi rather complacently laughed.
"Long Yi, does the condition mentioned now still hold? I promise to give you 100% real method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts," Martha said.
"Okay." Long Yi said with a smile. There was no loss for him in this exchange. If the Sea Emperor was stubborn on bringing about his own destruction, then that wouldn't be him breaking the promise.
And after obtaining the method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts, Long Yi instructed Iron Shark to properly look after Martha. He then returned to the discarded minefield via transmission magic array.
"Boy, he captured this sea person. He answered that he is your friend." Murong Bo carried a sea person and threw him in front of Long Yi.
"Karl, how come you are here?" Long Yi helped Karl up and a hint of happiness flashed through his eyes.
"My father made me come here. He instructed me to guide your experts to Undersea Forest to attack." Karl winked his eyes to Long Yi as he replied.
Long Yi smiled. Sure enough, it was like this. He knew that this Miluo Patriarch who was neutral publicly but had already joined the Sea Emperor's camp in secret was unwilling to be a mediocre patriarch. He also had wild ambition. Moreover, it was a very big wild ambition, merely, he had hidden his ambition very well.
"Did your father say something?" Long Yi asked in a low voice.
"Father said that you can rest assured. He has a sense of propriety," Karl also lowered his voice.
"It's naturally the best to have a sense of propriety. Otherwise, it's just the road to ruin." Long Yi smiled while talking, but Karl felt an indescribable chill.
Chapter 636: Heavenly Demon King (2)
Edits by akshaythedon
In Undersea Forest, the clear blue seawater appeared transparent; the treetops were swaying left and right along with the current. It was a very magnificent scenery. In addition, with various colors fishes swimming back and forth, the entire Undersea Forest had a peaceful and joyous atmosphere.
Long Yi and Karl quietly swam over to the periphery of Undersea Forest and secretly set up a transmission magic array. Once the Heavenly Demon King awakened, all the experts of the sea and continent would quickly come here via this transmission magic array and destroy the physical body of the Heavenly Demon King.
After everything was laid out, they two quietly left.
"Your Majesty, I wish to enter the body of the Heavenly Demon King, but everyone should heed my command in this operation." Long Yi looked at the Sea Emperor and over a hundred experts wearing sea cloak standing behind the Sea Emperor and requested. Just from their momentum, one could see that they were indeed not weak.
"You are more familiar, so naturally, everyone should heed your command." The Sea Emperor didn't refute.
"That's good, now we will enter the body of the Heavenly Demon King. No one is allowed to act presumptuously without my orders. This concerns the safety of the entire world. I hope no one will be swayed by their personal feelings." Long Yi looked at those over a hundred experts standing behind the Sea Emperor with a baleful look and warned coldly.
At that time, the entire space suddenly shook violently and the seawater outside the barrier that shrouded Undersea City also fluctuated violently. Then, a strange evil and sinister aura drilled straight into the bones of everyone present, making these experts shudder.
"Not good, the Heavenly Demon King is about to break out of the seal!" The Sea Emperor exclaimed.
"Blue Waves Second Team, follow me," Long Yi yelled loudly. Niur transformed into her dragon form and wrapped around the waist of Long Yi. She then watched Long Yi with her beautiful eyes without blinking.
In this team of experts that was going into the body of the Heavenly Demon King, there were several women of Long Yi. No need to mention Barbarian Bull and Li Qing, Murong Bo, Aunt Ou, Holy Priest Judith and Karen, PuXuisi who had already advanced to Fire God realm, more than thirty old experts that lived in seclusion, and numerous experts of Dragon Race were also present. Altogether, there were 110 peak experts of the continent. Among them, the lowest realm was Master Archmage or Swords Saint, so one could well imagine how luxurious and formidable this line up was.
Just when Long Yi was about to lead everyone to the transmission magic array, a peculiar feeling suddenly appeared in his heart. He frowned and looked back, only to see a graceful figure shrinking back in the midst of his women. Seeing Long Yi had turned back, she timidly looked at Long Yi.
"Liuli?" Long Yi glared at her. This girl truly was too disobedient. She actually followed secretly.
But, sensing that evil and sinister aura was getting denser and denser, Long Yi had no time to teach her a lesson. He directly led everyone into the transmission magic array.
In a passage within the body of the Heavenly Demon King, a dazzling white light flashed and the experts of Sea Race and Blue Waves Continent appeared in succession.
"Everyone, restrain your aura and follow me." Long Yi lowered his voice and led everyone to the cavity where the Heavenly Demon King's soul was sealed.
In the boundless dark region, the soul of the Heavenly Demon King was floating. It was concentrating all of its energy to arouse God's spirit to break the divine seal that had already trapped him for no less than 100,000 years.
100,000 years was a very long period of time. He couldn't wait to make both divine and mortal worlds to pay the price for what they did. He wanted to completely extinguish all life of this heaven and earth. There was no benefit in letting these races exist.
Feeling that his majestic power was gradually recovering, the Heavenly Demon King's soul that was full of resentment got excited. He laughed voicelessly. Once Heavenly Demon befalls, not even a blade of grass will be left! He had never thirst for the taste of blood like this before.
At this moment, more than 200 best experts who had retracted their aura had surrounded the entrance to this cavity. Their nerves were stretched taut by looking at that layer of golden light at the center of this cavity. Demonic qi was seething out from it. Even before Long Yi said anything, they understood that this was the place where the soul of the Heavenly Demon King was sealed.
"Crackle!" "Groan!" A strange ear-piercing sound wave burst out and several experts with the lowest level of power immediately paled.
Gradually, that seething demonic qi began to condense into a form, and that layer of golden light slowly disappeared.
The pupils of Long Yi suddenly shrunk, and he clenched his right hand. After that, the momentum of over 200 experts suddenly congealed.
The instant that golden light disappeared completely, Long Yi suddenly waved his right hand, causing countless sword qi and magic spells to fly toward that condensing demonic qi.
When the Heavenly Demon King was just about to inhale the air of freedom after such a long period of time, he suddenly suffered powerful attacks. He roared with rage and transformed his demonic qi into a huge claw. Then, waving this claw, a bone-piercing chill spread all around.
The barrier Long Yi had prepared in advance was unexpectedly unable to withstand even for a second and shattered into pieces. Ten experts were too late to dodge and instantly melted into a pool of blood on the spot under this demonic qi attack.
"So powerful…" Long Yi gritted his teeth, wore Lightning God Armor, and summoned Long Two, Fire Qilin and other god beasts.
"Divine Thunder Destroys Demons!" A silverish purple lightning flickered all around Long Yi and the huge Lightning God Hammer transformed into more than ten-meter-thick lightning and struck the Heavenly Demon King who had yet to condense completely. Long Two, Fire Qilin, Little Three, and Violent Lightning Beast also attacked like crazy.
The Heavenly Demon King miserably screamed, and the demonic qi blocked by that lightning suddenly rose. Long Yi just felt like his qi had stagnated. He was hit on the chest and the radiance of Lightning God Armor dimmed.
"Inheritor of Lightning God, very good!! Today, all of you nobodies will be buried here." The Heavenly Demon King's sinister and strange voice resounded.
"I return those words back to you," Long Yi smirked. He then put away Lightning God Armor, and a seven-colored light circulated around his body, then six spirit tablets shot out from his glabella, trapping the soul of the Heavenly Demon King at their center.
That demonic qi surged crazily, wanting to struggle free from the encirclement of these six spirit tablets, but was unsuccessful in the end. In addition, that large amount of divine power made the Heavenly Demon King feel fear. In the past, it was those seven Main Gods that had sealed him for 100,000 years.
"Still not attacking quickly." Long Yi shouted loudly and the other experts came back to their senses as if awakening from a dream. Then, powerful attacks cascaded down like heavy rain on the Heavenly Demon King.
Niur flew over and floated above the Dark Spirit Tablet. She then began to crazily absorb the energy of the Heavenly Demon King. Little Three, Fire Qilin, and Violent Lightning Beast were also standing in front of their respective spirit tablets and were attacking with all their might.
The remaining experts also displayed their skills in succession, vowing to destroy the Heavenly Demon King here.
Since the Heavenly Demon King had just broken out of the seal, his current strength was just twenty to thirty percent of 100,000 years ago. In addition, he was restricted by these six spirit tablets, and these lowly creatures were attacking him like crazy. Although their strength was low, just as how a lot of ants could bite an elephant to death, he could feel that his energy was being depleted little by little. He roared and struggled fiercely. As for those rapidly spinning six spirit tablets, they trembled.
.....
At this moment, several tens of thousands of experts were using all their strength to attack the huge physical body of the Heavenly Demon King in Undersea City. When the huge body's disgusting tentacles slammed on the ground, those experts who were unable to dodge in time would have their bodies smashed and bones crushed.
Now, everyone had discovered that the entire Undersea Forest was just growing on the physical body of the Heavenly Demon King. In other words, the physical body of the Heavenly Demon King was as big as the entire Undersea Forest.
This battle was very tragic. The blue seawater was already dyed in a variety of colors and there was a dense stench of blood. Every minute, someone would die a tragic death. The Heavenly Demon King's tentacles weren't left unscathed either – some were smashed into pieces.
Today was destined to be a bloody day in the annals of Undersea City.
......…
When many experts were having a tragic battle against Heavenly Demon King who had broken out of the seal, the various places of Undersea City were also having a bloody drama.
Shark Clan, Whale Clan, and Shihun Clan, these three strongest forces of Undersea City were under the siege of the army composed of various sea clans. The war had spread throughout the entire Undersea City. The number of casualties was increasing.
As for within the underground base below the Land of the Holy Spirit, Demon Shark, the patriarch of Shark Clan, was already killed under the joint attack of Golden Shark, Iron Shark and over one thousand experts. The trusted subordinates of Demon Shark were also killed, not even their corpses remained. At this moment, Iron Shark and Golden Shark were controlling all the available heavily armored guards, preparing to enter the war.
At that moment, the neatly organized armored guards suddenly roared and went to the restricted area in succession. That strange magic array Iron Shark had buried using sand and stones dazzled with purple light again, then those heavily armored guards jumped into the magic array and disappeared instantly as if they were being called by someone.
Iron Shark felt dizzy. His Master had ordered him repeatedly to destroy this magic array, but he was unable to destroy it whatever means he used, so he just used sand and stones to bury it completely. But, to his surprise, it was still useable.
There was a group of shark guards that jumped into this magic array, but they just screamed miserably and died.
And at that moment, the experts that were crazily attacking the Heavenly Demon King suddenly noticed many heavily armored soldiers appearing out of thin air in this cavity. They rushed into this deathtrap without any hesitation.
"Divide into a group of ten and create a barrier. As for the rest, continue to attack." The eyebrows of Long Yi jumped up as he loudly instructed.
The barrier was erected quickly, but under the continuous appearance of heavily armored soldiers out of thin air inside the barrier, more and more experts needed to separate themselves to attack these heavily armored soldiers inside the barrier. Like this, the attack on the Heavenly Demon King decreased by nearly one-third.
In the underground base, Long Yi had placed over a thousand experts with Red Lady and Mad Lion Mo Yan as leaders.
"Iron Shark, what is going on here?" The sturdy big hand of Mo Yan grabbed Iron Shark and asked ferociously. At this moment, he could only watch these heavily armored soldiers recklessly jumping into that magic array and disappearing. He was basically unable to stop this. If such a number of heavily armored soldiers attacked them, then they basically wouldn't be able to withstand.
"I also don't know." Iron Shark was also very depressed.
"Mo Yan, release him first." Red Lady made Mo Yan release Iron Shark, then asked, "Is there a magic array that is engraved inside the body of the Heavenly Demon King?"
Iron Shark nodded his head. Long Yi had indeed set up a magic array that was connected inside the body of the Heavenly Demon King in his residence.
The beautiful eyes of Red Lady shone. If her guess was correct, then these heavily armored soldiers should be summoned by the Heavenly Demon King for help. She knew that there were only 200 or so experts within the body of Heavenly Demon King, so they must be needing help.
Within the body of the Heavenly Demon King, over a thousand experts and several thousand shark guards–under the lead of Iron Shark and Golden Shark arranged in underground base by Long Yi–appeared in succession via transmission magic array to help Long Yi and others to withstand the attacks of those heavily armored soldiers.
That cavity where the soul of the Heavenly Demon King was sealed wasn't big. Therefore, after Red Lady and others joined the battle, those experts who had separated to block those armored soldiers immediately returned and began attacking the Heavenly Demon King again.
The Heavenly Demon King struggled crazily. He was absolutely unwilling to fall under the attacks of these no names. Long Yi who was directly enduring the struggle of the Heavenly Demon King had already gone pale. His mouth, ears, eyes, and nose were already bleeding. Even his sweat had blood in it. One could well imagine how much pain he was enduring.
"Boss." Barbarian Bull frantically brandished his Greenstone Rule seeing the current appearance of Long Yi.
"Young Master." The phantom outside the body of Li Qing was also clear as he continuously brandished his ice sword using his divine power.
"Father." Niur also opened her dragon mouth wide and crazily absorbed the energy of the Heavenly Demon King. Although she already felt like her body was swelling and was about to explode, and even felt like vomiting, she still crazily absorbed the energy of the Heavenly Demon King.
The women of Long Yi were even more anxious. They were all attacking desperately.
The golden hair of Liuli was fluttering chaotically as she forcibly used the Sixth Note of Soul Locking Seven Notes. She was enduring pain while gritting her teeth.
Leng Youyou, Wushuang, and other women of Long Yi were also squeezing out all their powers. They would rather suffer pain by themselves. They were unwilling to see their beloved suffering so much.
The six spirit tablets under the control of Long Yi were shaking violently, but they didn't collapse in the end. As for the restricted Heavenly Demon King, he sensed his energy was depleting rapidly and the attacks of these nobodies were hurting him. If this were to continue, he knew that might truly fall here.
"Lowly creatures…"
Suddenly, the demonic qi of the Heavenly Demon King shrunk and exploded. All the experts as well as the heavily armored soldiers within his body were sent flying by this bone-piercing, sinister, demonic qi explosion. The six spirit tablets also swayed and transforming into light rays and automatically returned to the sea of consciousness of Long Yi.
As for Long Yi, he spat out a mouthful of blood, coughed, and sat on the ground. He then looked at the direction where the Heavenly Demon King had disappeared with bloody eyes in a daze. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Father!"
"My husband!"
"Young Master!"
"Crown Prince!"
Different kinds of addresses resounded almost at the same time. Numerous exhausted experts of Blue Waves Continent gathered around Long Yi. Many were severely injured due to overexertion.
"The soul of the Heavenly Demon King is annihilated, but his physical body is recovering. We must attack from the inside. We must completely destroy him!" The Sea Emperor screamed with blazing eyes.
Chapter 637: Sea Swallowing Beast is mine!
Edits by akshaythedon
The internal organs of the Heavenly Demon King quickly reverted to rigidness. Under the continuous assault of 200 peak experts along with more than one thousand experts of Blue Waves Continent under the lead of Red Lady and Mo Yan, accompanied by several thousand shark guards, the body of the Heavenly Demon King was quickly torn to pieces and numerous huge holes appeared. Now, they could see those magic and douqi attacks along with wave after wave of arrows outside.
This battle no longer had any suspense. The massive Heaven Slaying Squid was smashed into pieces. The seawater within the radius of several hundred li was dyed with different colored blood, and one could see broken pieces of limbs and other parts of the body everywhere.
After Long Yi adjusted his breathing, he felt a lot better, but he had indifferent expression. No one could discern what he was feeling. For this operation, he had brought more than ten thousand experts of Blue Waves Continent. Among them, more than one thousand had fallen. They were peak experts, so how could Long Yi not feel heartache losing them?
Conversely, the Sea Emperor looked excited. He was giving a speech in front of the experts of the Sea Race, using extremely provocative language.
"Boy, do you think the soul of Heavenly Demon King has been truly annihilated?" Demonic Dragon King Sha Qingyin asked.
"He said that he would come back again. You say, is he truly annihilated?" Long Yi faintly said. The final words of the Heavenly Demon King before his demonic qi had exploded, everyone had just heard just "lowly creatures," and they hadn't heard anything beyond that. Only Long Yi had heard everything.
Everyone around Long Yi was speechless. Everyone knew the consequences of letting the Heavenly Demon King escape. Now that the best chance to annihilate him had slipped through the gap in their fingers, in the future, this world will truly become a bloody purgatory.
"My husband, should we tell the Sea Emperor?" Leng Youyou asked.
"Tell him? Hehe, don't be so impatient, wait to see a good drama." Long Yi replied with a cold smile.
This moment, the battles all over Undersea City were also gradually coming to an end. The army of Shark Clan, Whale Clan, and Shihun Clan was wiped out. These three powerful forces were eradicated from the Sea Race in one day.
Because the number of people was too high here, Sea Emperor left first with the experts of Sea Race, leaving behind only Long Yi's group of ten thousand experts from Blue Waves Continent.
"Wu… wu…" Suddenly, a sound that resembled an infant crying entered the ears of everyone. At first, this sound seemed to be coming from far away, but in the next moment, it seemed near.
"Look, what is that?" Liuxu exclaimed pointing at a large shadow that bolted to the sky and surrounded them.
Everyone here was first rate experts. They instantly prepared to fight as they could already feel the dense killing intent.
Soon, the shadow tightly surrounded Long Yi and others. At this moment, they were able to see what those creatures surrounding them were. They looked very strange. Their body resembled a fish, was roughly twenty meters long, and their entire body was covered with scales, but they had four limbs with sharp claws. In addition, they also had thin folded wings. Still, the strangest aspect was their big mouth. The opening of their mouth occupied more than half of their body. Now, they were emitting violent qi and strong magic fluctuation. These strange creatures stretched as far as the eye could see. No one was able to tell how many there were.
"Are they magical beasts of undersea?" Divine Dragon King asked in confusion.
"To be specific, they should be Sea Swallowing Beasts." Long Yi faintly smiled.
At this time, Sea Emperor was standing on the largest Sea Swallowing Beast. He looked at Long Yi and other more than ten thousand experts as if they were mere corpses and roared with laughter, "Long Yi, you truly shouldn't have offended me."
"If I hadn't offended you, would you have let us go?" Long Yi wasn't surprised at all. He was calm.
The Sea Emperor thought for a bit and shook his head, "No."
"That's it, regardless of whether I offended you or not, you will not let us go. Since that's the case, why don't I offend you thoroughly?" Long Yi smiled faintly.
"Long Yi, do you know? I hate this expression of yours as if everything is under your control the most. Don't tell me you aren't afraid, but even if you aren't afraid, don't you fear that so many elites of Blue Waves Continent will be buried here?" The Sea Emperor hatefully said.
"You should have the ability to do that first," sneered Long Yi.
"Long Yi, you have never seen the strength of Sea Swallowing Beasts. There are more than 500,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts here. How will you save these more than 10,000 people? After all these elites die here, will Blue Waves Continent be able to stop this emperor's march? Regardless of the sea or land, this emperor will become the number one under heaven, hahaha…" The Sea Emperor laughed like crazy. He had been preparing for a long time, so he no longer needed to hide his wild ambition now.
"Your ambition is enormous enough. According to my principle, I wouldn't have tolerated it, but since your daughter has begged me to spare your life, I, as a person who keeps his words, don't want to go back on my words. Don't force me to make a move," replied an indifferent Long Yi.
The Sea Emperor, however, glared at Long Yi and laughed crazily, pointing at him, "Long Yi, you spare this emperor's life? Haha, you spare this emperor's life!"
"All Sea Swallowing Beasts, slaughter them for me!" Sea Emperor suddenly stopped laughing, and with a cold expression, he waved his hand, and his hand shone with green radiance. At the same time, the eyes of Sea Swallowing Beasts also shone. They then opened their mouth, which resembled a black hole with a strange aura.
"What is this ghastly feeling?" All experts couldn't help shivering. They felt as if they would be swallowed by the big opened mouths of these Sea Swallowing Beasts at any time.
"Let this emperor show you all the might of Sea Swallowing Beasts," the Sea Emperor shouted.
Suddenly, a powerful and vast suction came from all directions, and the seawater in the middle instantly boiled over. Meanwhile, Long Yi and other ten thousand experts of Blue Waves Continent simultaneously created a defensive barrier. With so many defensive barriers created by many experts overlapping each other, one could well imagine how solid the defense was, but in the blink of an eye, the defensive barriers were on the verge of collapse on all sides.
"Hahaha, let this emperor tell you something, this is the might of only 100,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts. If this emperor were to make all 500,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts attack at the same time, then just you ten thousand people would be torn into pieces by the suction force." The Sea Emperor complacently laughed as if he had already grasped the heaven and earth.
"These Sea Swallowing Beasts are indeed powerful, hehe, so they are mine hereafter. I thank the Sea Emperor for granting such a generous gift," Long Yi laughed all of a sudden. His complacent look was even more rampant than the Sea Emperor.
Sea Emperor had yet to react, but the connection between him and Blue Sea Divine Soul in his sea of consciousness was suddenly cut off. The next second, the Blue Sea Divine Soul was already floating in front of Long Yi, and the suction attack of 100,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts also stopped immediately.
"Impossible, impossible!" The Sea Emperor didn't dare to believe. He had never expected this kind of unforeseen event.
"Your Majesty, you should believe in facts. Not only you can scheme in this world, do you think you can obtain Blue Sea Divine Soul so easily? If I hadn't make some arrangements beforehand, then how could you have acquired it so easily?" Long Yi instructed others to remove the barriers, and looking at those countless Sea Swallowing Beasts, he felt like a big piece of meat pie had fallen in front of him from the sky.
Sea Emperor suddenly looked up and asked with a ferocious expression, "Even if you have Blue Sea Divine Soul now, do you know the method to control Sea Swallowing Beasts?"
"It's very simple. Your cute daughter has already told me." Long Yi ambiguously smiled and added, "You also know, when a girl is of age, she must be married off, and it's very normal for her to turn her arm outward."
"Martha … Martha! This wretch actually betrayed this emperor … actually be … trayed…" The Sea Emperor shouted like a madman. Suddenly, his expression stiffened, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth and nose. He then began to float up with his eyes wide opened. He unexpectedly died from excessive anger.
"Martha, ah Martha, don't blame me saying I didn't keep my words. Your father emperor, however, was infuriated to death by you. It has nothing to do with me," Long Yi muttered and laughed. The experts from Blue Waves Continent were pleased after witnessing this scene. His Majesty, the Crown Prince, was worthy of being His Majesty the Crown Prince. Every one of them laughed heartily.
Long Yi arranged these 500,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts and returned to Undersea City along with the experts of Blue Waves Continent. Now, with these ferocious beasts that could freely roam in both land and water under his control, he had a bit more confidence in dealing with the upcoming bloody calamity.
Undersea City, Sea Emperor City.
There was a thick smell of blood and corpses all over the streets. The Sea Race army was busy dealing with the aftermath.
In the imperial sea palace, all former imperial guards were already changed. Now, most of them were fully armored guards of Miluo Clan. Today, something that no sea clans residing in Sea Emperor City dared to believe happened. Miluo Clan who had always maintained neutral position had unexpectedly rebelled. They seized Sea Emperor City and massacred several tens of thousands of trusted guards of the Sea Emperor. If Shark Clan, Whale Clan, Shihun Clan, or even Scorpion Clan had done so, they wouldn't have gotten so surprised, but beyond their imagination, it was the courteous Miluo Clan with a gentle temperament.
At this moment, Miluo Clan's Patriarch, who now claimed to be the new Sea Emperor, warmly welcomed Long Yi and over ten thousand experts of Blue Waves Continent. He knew that, although he had already seized Sea Emperor City, when the troops of various sea clans other than annihilated Shark Clan, Whale Clan, and Shihun Clan return, many sea clans would refuse to accept him as the new Sea Emperor. At that time, he could only rely on Long Yi.
For Long Yi, placing Miluo Clan's Patriarch on the throne of Sea Emperor had many advantages and no disadvantages, so there was no reason not to support him. As for the opposition of other sea clans, Long Yi didn't take them seriously. With 500,000 Sea Swallowing Beasts under his control, which sea clan would dare to act rashly? Of course, military force can only deter for a while. Everything would rest on the capability of Miluo Patriarch. If he did poorly even after Long Yi paved the path, then Long Yi didn't mind replacing him and let another person sit on the throne of Sea Emperor.
Chapter 638: Dark God is female?
Edits by akshaythedon
The sky was very clear without any impurities. Once in a while, some goshawks would streak across this clear sky towards the distance while chirping.
In the afternoon, Soaring Dragon City was very quiet. After the bloody rain of last time, the temperature had suddenly risen. Even the air seemed to emit faint smoke. In such weather, there were very few people in the streets. It was in stark contrast to the previous Soaring Dragon City that was bustling with activity.
At this moment, Long Yi was on the outskirts of the city, sitting under a willow tree beside a river. His thoughts were flying all over. The matters of Undersea City were already brought to a temporary close. However, since Heavenly Demon King had succeeded in escaping, the situation hereafter was very critical. However, he could do nothing except making preparations for all eventualities at this moment.
"Long Yi." Someone called from behind. The voice was very faint, but it still had a fascinating charm.
Without turning around, Long Yi knew the owner of this voice. Other than Mu Hanyan, who else had this kind of fascinating charm? He reached out behind and grabbed a soft waist, then with a pull, a fragrant figure fell into his bosom.
"Mmm…" Just when Mu Hanyan wanted to open her mouth, her pink lips were already sealed by Long Yi's big mouth. His tongue then roughly opened her teeth and captured her little fragrant tongue. She could only let his bad fellow have his way.
Only after they started feeling suffocation, their kiss ended. The bewitching eyes of Mu Hanyan were already watery. Her bosom rose and fell along with her rough breathing as she leaned on the chest of Long Yi. She had missed this feeling for a long time.
"Let's set out today." Long Yi held the slender waist of Mu Hanyan with his one hand and fondled her towering breast with his other hand.
"Really?" Mu Hanyan's voice didn't show any pleasant surprise. Her gaze looking at Long Yi was blurred. She truly wasn't greedy; she wanted just a little bit of prominent position.
"Really." Long Yi nodded his head. Then, his big hand that was fondling her breast suddenly stopped, and with a flick, unexpectedly undid her belt.
"Long Yi, you… you want…" The heartbeat of Mu Hanyan that had just calmed down accelerated again. It had already been a long period since she had last gotten intimate with him.
Long Yi pulled open the lapel of Mu Hanyan, and a pair of snow-white plump ** jumped out. On her left breast, there was an ugly scar, which appeared unusually eye-catching.
Long Yi watched this scar in a daze. He then gently caressed this scar as he softly asked, "Does it still ache?"
Mu Hanyan held the hand of Long Yi and smiled. But tears flowed out of her eyes as she shook her head and replied, "Doesn't ache, truly doesn't ache." She knew that Long Yi wasn't asking about the wound; instead, it was her heart below the wound.
The two people quietly hugged each other. At this moment, there was no one else other than them in this world. Both of them knew that they had already suffered enough. Now, only happy days were left.
....
Long Yi and Ximen Nu sat opposite to each other and discussed the matter of Blue Moon Continent.
"Yu'er, will you truly not change your mind?" Ximen Nu frowned and asked. Whether it was for political considerations or out of concern for his son's safety, he was unwilling to let his son leave at this time.
"Father, the Heavenly Demon King succeeded in escaping. We are about to face a catastrophe that might annihilate the entire world. Blue Moon Continent is the legacy left behind by the war of God and Demon. Their civilization is far developed than ours. With regards to the principle of magic and douqi, they are far ahead. Now, since they are limited to the small Blue Moon Continent, their civilization had already fallen into shambles. If we connect Blue Moon Continent and Blue Waves Continent, then our Blue Waves Continent can research their principles. The civilization of the entire world will take a qualitative leap. Although time is tight now, if we can pull Blue Moon Continent to our side, then the chance of being able to deal with the Heavenly Demon King successfully will also increase a bit." Long Yi spoke out his thoughts. This was a win-win situation. As long as the Blue Moon Continent and Blue Waves Continent were linked, the resources crisis of Blue Moon would be readily solved.
Ximen Nu pondered for a while and sighed, "It's still Yu'er who thinks thoroughly, the sight of your father, however, is too narrow. You can rest assured and go to Blue Moon Continent."
After obtaining the consent of Ximen Nu, Long Yi naturally went to discuss with his numerous wives.
In the hall of the harem, women were either sitting or lying while chatting and laughing. The magic array made this hall very cool. They were eating cold fruits while talking about the gossips of the continent.
"Where has our Lord husband went to have an affair?" Feng Ling laughed immediately upon seeing Long Yi.
"Hehe, Ling'er, can it be that you are blaming our husband for not coming to your quarters yesterday to have an affair?" Nangong Xiangyun teased with a smile.
"Big sister Xiangyun, yesterday, our husband served you the whole night, so you will naturally speak on behalf of our husband." Leng Youyou opened her mouth to assist Feng Ling.
Several beautiful women blabbering with each other was naturally the best, but they seemed to have forgotten that the Elf Queen and the Phoenix Matriarch were also present here. No matter what one said, they were regarded as seniors. Now, they were blushing a little upon hearing their words.
Long Yi just smiled. But, he noticed the Elf Queen glaring at him, so he shrugged his shoulders and made an innocent expression. These girls having a loose tongue had nothing to do with him.
Speaking about his relation with Elf Queen, sometimes, Long Yi thinks that it was a headache. Although the Elf Queen avoided him as much as possible, sometimes, how can the matter between men and women be restrained? Besides, Lu Xiya had already spoken. Hence, as long as he was capable, she wouldn't object to getting together with her mother. But, her mother was not cooperating with him.
Long Yi looked around and walking forward, sat between Mu Hanyan and Mu Jingjing, and opened his mouth, "Actually, there is something I want to talk with everyone today. I guess you all already know the reason why Mu Hanyan sisters are looking for me. Now, since the matter of Undersea City is dealt with, the war of Blue Moon Continent cannot be delayed. Today, I plan to go to Blue Moon City with Mu Hanyan sisters."
"My husband, I also want to go." Just after he spoke, Yu Feng hastily replied, "I will go too, I will go too!"
Instantly, his wives expressed their willingness to join in succession. They argued that since the matter of Blue Waves Continent was not as dangerous as that of Undersea City, they also wanted to follow him.
"No, no, I forbid anyone to go. Be obedient and wait for my return. Whoever doesn't listen will be punished according to the family law," Long Yi pulled a long face and said. But, when he mentioned the family law, the beautiful faces of all women involuntarily reddened. They naturally knew what the family law of Long Yi was.
At that time, Long Yi felt two unusual gazes on him. One was Elf Queen; she was rolling her eyes at Long Yi. The other was Matriarch Phoenix, there, unexpectedly, was a hint of heat in her gaze.
Could it be that these two mothers-in-law also know the meaning of his family law? Long Yi couldn't help thinking so. Was it normal to chat about private matters among women?
After Long Yi spoke, no one dared to oppose him. In proper business, Long Yi always stood by his words. As his women, they naturally wanted to comply with his wishes. If they dragged him behind in a proper business, then they were not worthy of being his women.
"When do you intend to leave?" Sibi softly asked.
"Immediately," replied Long Yi.
"So fast." The women showed unwilling expressions. They honestly didn't know when they would be able to stay together with Long Yi without any care in the world, going wherever they wanted to go, and doing whatever they wanted to do without bearing the burden of the clan, nation, and even the survival of the world on his shoulders. Unfortunately, they all knew that their husband was not an average person. Since his birth, he was destined to become the master of this world, and that wouldn't change just because of their will.
Long Yi also understood the feelings of his women. He also was conscious that he owed them too much over these past few years. When he had just arrived in this strange world, he had thought to pass his life unrestrained without any care in the world. But, the blood of Ximen Clan flows in his body; slightly exaggerating it, the blood of this world flows in his body. He also breathed the air of this world and loved the women of this world, so how could his everything separate from this world?
At that time, Dongfan Wan rushed over after hearing the news. She was anxious. Although her son was already mighty, when all was said and done, she was still his mother. In her eyes, her son will forever be that drooling little fellow who called his mother for everything. She also understood that the more things she got, the more she had to pay.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Long Yi along with Mu Hanyan and Mu Jingjing teleported to Huangmang village via transmission magic array. This was the only village with transmission magic array around here because of its unique geographical position and environment.
Even in such hot weather, adventurers were still coming in and going out of this village in an endless stream. After Ximen Clan unified the entire Blue Waves Continent, the research of magic and douqi had flourished like never before. This significantly increased the consumption of various ranked magic cores. As a result, the price of magic cores rapidly increased. This, in turn, greatly increased the motivation of adventurers.
When Long Yi and the Mu sisters arrived at Huangmang Village, it was already dusk, and strong winds were blowing in the grassland, making the weather pleasantly cool. Outside the Bounty Hunter Bar, rows of tables were neatly set. Mercenaries and hunters of various professions were chatting idly. This place was vivacious.
"You all know that His Majesty the Crown Prince is first under heaven. He charged through the Lightning God Forbidden Area and crossed Undersea City. But do you know what he had done when he had just become a mercenary ten years ago? This Humangmang Plan became the first step of His Majesty the Crown Prince's mercenary life. Think about it, when we just became a mercenary, if not E rank, we were doing F ranked missions at that time, but His Majesty the Crown Prince took the A ranked mission of Lost City. All along the way, he broke through all the blockades…" Outside the bar, a tall bounty hunter was surrounded by people. He was speaking as if he had first-hand experience of the events.
Long Yi was pulled over by Mu Jingjing and forced to listen for a while. After hearing this bounty hunter, he just shook his head with a smile. He had never thought that he would become a legend someday. Even his short mercenary life of ten years ago was turned into praise. Now, how many people still remember that he was the infamous sex fiend of Blue Waves Continent ten years ago? Occasionally, when some people mentioned it, they would immediately attract the ire of a crowd of people. Now, all people say that Ximen Yu and Long Ling'er were a harmonious couple at that time, it was just that the previous emperor of Violent Dragon Empire, Long Zhan, was spreading false rumors, wanting to decrease the power of Ximen Clan.
This world was like this. If you win, naturally, people would sing your praises, all the evil deeds done in the past would be covered up, and all accusations would be pushed to the dead. Naturally, this might also be caused by the intentional guidance of Ximen Nu.
"Long Yi, you already stand at the peak of the world now, people can only look up to you." Mu Hanyan said with a smile.
"It's lonely at the top." Long Yi smiled, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile. Standing too high, he could look down on all creations, but it was also lonely. This kind of loneliness had nothing to do with a lonely mood.
Mu Jingjing was puzzled. Mu Hanyan, however, understood a little. Still, she couldn't help him. When all was said and done, she and he were already people on a different level. Moreover, how many of his women could reach his level?
"Let's go. We should return to Blue Moon Continent as soon as possible. I hope we are not too late," said Long Yi faintly.
Hearing Blue Moon Continent, the Mu sisters became serious, and along with Long Yi, they entered Huangmang grassland that stretched as far as the eye could see.
Long Yi summoned Bai Yu, and they flew towards the destination riding on its back.
Looking down at the vast Huangmang Plain, Long Yi couldn't help recalling the scenes of the past. Encountering Little Three, the great battle against Silver Backed Earthworm, passing through the sea of blood insects, surrounded by undead creatures, everything appeared as if it were a lifetime ago.
The speed of Bai Yu was very fast. On the second day, they arrived at Lost City before dawn. Therefore, Long Yi was able to appreciate that magnificent scene of blood insect sea again. Now, nothing could block his path, but ten years ago, he had to rack his brain to cross this place. Thinking about his past achievements, he couldn't help becoming complacent.
The ruins of Lost City was already buried after the mechanism of city lord mansion was triggered. Only the shrine that was excavated stood alone here.
"As a matter of fact, Lost City was established by the people of our Blue Moon Continent. Several thousand years ago, a great general of our Cyan Moon Empire tried to usurp the imperial power, but he failed. He then unexpectedly used a seven attributed energy stone to split open space and arrived at Blue Waves Continent and established Holy City here, i.e., the so-called Lost City." Mu Hanyan slowly narrated while standing behind Long Yi.
"So, it was like that, when I learned that the script of Lost City and Blue Moon Continent was the same, I suspected it," Long Yi nodded his head and said.
"Things didn't just stop there; the ancestor of our Mu Clan is the younger brother of this great general. Because he had turned against one's own side at the final moment, this great general failed, but not long after this great general fled, after his younger brother gained the trust of the emperor of that time, he launched a coup d'état, forcibly seizing the throne, and then changed the name of the nation to Cyan Wind Empire. Later, this great general split opened the space and returned again, but he was captured and was killed after interrogating the method of splitting space. Afterward, no one knew what happened: the younger brother of this great general established a shrine. In the shrine, there was a magic array that led to Blue Waves Continent, but he set up an ancestral instruction, and this secret was to be passed only to the contemporary emperor. Moreover, no one is allowed to use this transmission magic array. I was unable to find out why," Mu Hanyan added.
"Putting it that way, Wushuang also has the bloodline of your Mu Clan?" Long Yi said.
"It should be," Mu Hanyan nodded her head.
"But why are you telling me these secrets?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
"Just, in any case, you will learn it sooner or later," Mu Hanyan smiled and winked.
Long Yi was stunned and looked at Mu Hanyan with a peculiar gaze. She had said that this secret was only passed down to the contemporary emperor, but how did she know it? Moreover, why was she telling him? What she meant was worthy of discussing. Could it be that her father emperor wanted to pass down the throne to this girl? Does this girl want to entrust Cyan Wind Empire to him? That wouldn't do, he didn't even want to take over Blue Waves Empire, let alone Cyan Wind Empire.
When he was thinking so, a cloud of black smoke suddenly blew over. The Mu siblings weakly collapsed on the ground as a shadow covered in a black robe appeared indistinctly in front of Long Yi.
"Jie jie jie, boy, we meet again after such a long time." A burst of familiar, ear-piercing laughter resounded in the ears of Long Yi.
"Dark God?" Long Yi was dumbfounded for a bit. He then cursed, "You old b*****d, at that time, if you had bluntly told me everything, then wouldn't that have been better? Beating so much around the bush, were you seven Main Gods too embarrassed to tell that all of you were cursed by Heavenly Demon King and were dragging on for 100,000 years in the half-dead state?"
"Stinking kid, are you looking for a fight?" That shadow flashed, and a spectral pale hand instantly appeared in front of Long Yi and flicked his forehead.
Long Yi immediately moved his head and dodged the flick. The current Long Yi, however, wasn't his former self.
"You have improved greatly." The shadow said, then flicked his sleeve. Long Yi suddenly felt his sea of consciousness shaking, and Dark Spirit Tablet unexpectedly shot out from his glabella and flew to the hand of Dark God.
"Now, I will see how you will dodge." The Dark God suddenly disappeared, and a knocking sound resounded. Long Yi felt his forehead. He had seen the hand of Dark God, but he was unable to dodge. Dark God with spirit tablet was the true Dark God.
"Old man, answer honestly, I suddenly suspect that you are a woman. Look, your little hand is so slender." Long Yi remained silent for a while and suddenly enquired with a strange smile.
"Didn't I already mention that I am not a woman?" Dark God answered with a hoarse voice.
"Heh heh, whether you are a woman or not, let this Young Master confirm it," smiled Long Yi sinisterly. Suddenly, he flashed forward, and his palms reached out straight toward the chest of Dark God.
