Above the sea.
The Deep Sea Merman King, holding a scepter, frowned and said, "It hasn't been taken yet?"
A minister replied, "My king need not worry. The human race is adept at defense, but once their formation is broken, we will surely win this battle!"
Another minister chimed in, "That's right, the human race is merely a race that relies on external forces. Once the formation is shattered, they will surely perish."
The Deep Sea Merman King sighed, "Since you are so confident, then go to the front lines and supervise the battle!"
The two ministers were stunned.
What was going on?
Had they said something wrong?
Why were they being sent to the dangerous front lines?
But the king's order had been given, and they had no choice but to obey.
"Yes, my king!" The two ministers bowed and retreated.
After they left, the Deep Sea Merman King said, "Follow them. I will personally take action and break the human formation as quickly as possible."
"My king, it is too dangerous for you to personally venture into danger. It would be better to remain behind the scenes."
The Deep Sea Merman King shook his head, "No, I have a bad premonition. We must break through the human defenses as soon as possible."
He felt a sense of suffocation, as if some great disaster was imminent.
He cultivated the power of the mind and had always had precognition of crises.
This time, the crisis he felt was even greater, as if the opponent could crush him.
Could it be that the human demigod was coming?
Thinking of this, he shook his head again. He had thoroughly understood the Battle of Guixu during the half-day he had dispatched troops to the human race.
He discovered that the Sword God had already been severely wounded and could not continue to fight in a short period of time.
So, where did this danger come from?
He looked around but found nothing unusual.
Was he overthinking it?
He gazed ahead and suddenly saw a huge dragon flying from afar.
A minister shouted, "My king, that is the human void train! Their reinforcements have arrived!"
The Deep Sea Merman King was greatly alarmed. He stared at the void train with a grim expression.
It seems my crisis is within the void train! he thought to himself.
As soon as the void train appeared, the human defensive formation completely shattered!
Boom!
Crack!
The formation broke and dissipated into starlight.
Fuyaozi sighed, "Since the formation is broken, then follow me out of the formation to kill the enemy!"
Suddenly, the adjutant exclaimed with joy, "Sir, reinforcements have arrived! Look~"
He pointed into the distance, and Fuyaozi followed his gaze, indeed seeing the silhouette of the void train.
He quickly opened his wristband and saw that the internal council group was very lively, with many people calling out to him.
Unfortunately, he had been too worried before to pay attention to the group.
Elder: "Fuyaozi, Lord Yan and the others have arrived. The next steps are up to you."
Lord Yan: "Elder, we are here, but aren't there a bit too many sea beasts? Have you considered sending more people?"
Charioteer: "Damn, you have no idea, the area outside Donghai City has turned into a sea of water. The sea beasts alone are countless, not to mention how many are in the sea."
Divine Monk: "Amitabha, this poor monk also feels that our forces are insufficient."
Chi Yu: "Wait, I'm coming to help you!"
Elder: "If you leave, what about Beijiang City?"
Chi Yu: "I almost forgot. The undead in the north are also poised to attack Beijiang City. Once I leave, they will show their fangs."
Lord Yan: "This is too difficult. Is Guixu alright? Can't South Xinjiang City send any support?"
Elder: "Stop calling out. South Xinjiang City is just for show. There isn't even a single Ninth-rank person there, and they haven't joined the council!"
The original purpose of establishing South Xinjiang City was to defend against the beasts of Guixu. However, since the Sword God had been guarding Guixu, South Xinjiang City had become a mere decoration.
South Xinjiang City no longer held the status of a border city and naturally did not require high-ranking officials to guard it.
The strongest was only at the Eighth-rank.
Elder: "You hold the line for a while, and I will go support you!"
Jian Ku: "Your lifespan is not long, so you should remain in the center. I will go this time!"
Charioteer: "Welcome, welcome! Don't forget to bring everyone from your academy."
Jian Ku: "I go alone this time."
Divine Monk: "Welcome Jian Ku. We await your arrival."
Jian Ku: "I have a sword that travels a hundred thousand miles a day and can reach the East Sea in an instant."
Charioteer: "Oh, come quickly!"
Jian Ku: "I am already on my way."
Elder: "With Jian Ku gone, you can rest assured. Can any of you three defeat him? Although he is not a demigod, he is still at the peak among Ninth-ranks. You will surely win with him there."
"Also, I will mobilize troops from the surrounding cities."
Charioteer: "How many troops can you mobilize?"
Elder: "A million!"
Charioteer: "Alas, it's better than nothing."
Lord Yan: "Be content. Alright, we need to go fight the enemy. Logging off!"
Everyone logged off.
At this moment.
Above a vast expanse of ocean, dozens of void trains flew through the air.
The doors opened, and Seventh-rank humans flew out.
Those below the Seventh-rank wore flying gear and soared through the sky.
As soon as they appeared, the sea beasts turned their attention and diverted half of their forces to attack them.
The Deep Sea Merman King roared, "Go, kill those human leaders!"
"Yes!"
The Deep Sea Merman clan was a major clan among the sea races, with a high proportion of Ninth-rank experts.
However, their numbers were small, only tens of thousands.
As the two armies clashed, a fierce battle erupted instantly.
A deep blue merman faced Lord Yan.
Water and fire, incompatible.
The merman grinned and said, "Petrification Ray!"
A beam of light shot from his eyes.
The light was too fast, and in an instant, it struck Lord Yan.
As soon as the light touched him, Lord Yan began to rapidly petrify.
Seeing this, the merman laughed heartily, "Is this the human race? Utterly laughable, utterly weak!"
However, the next moment, his laughter froze.
A seemingly weak orange-yellow flame suddenly ignited.
This flame melted the petrification power.
"Kitchen God's Fire, go!"
The flame was not fast, but it had a tracking effect.
The merman sneered, manipulated seawater, and said, "Extinguish it for me!"
However, the next moment, the Kitchen God's Fire lunged forward, and the seawater was as if it didn't exist, having no effect at all.
He only felt countless whispers in his ears, his mind in turmoil, and countless worries flooding his heart.
"Ah!"
He roared loudly and, in his confused consciousness, was beheaded by Lord Yan, who wielded a flaming sword.
"Hmph, having just experienced the Battle of Guixu, I find you all to be far weaker than the alien races."
He sneered and turned his attention to the next opponent.
At this moment.
The Merman King's face was contorted with anger.
In the brief moment of engagement with the human race, he had already lost three great generals.
These were all Ninth-rank high-ranking officials, the foundation upon which the Merman clan stood in the deep sea, yet they had now perished at the hands of humans.
He was enraged!
"Humans, you deserve to die!"
"Wrath of the Sea God!"
He struck the void hard with his scepter.
Instantly, a strange light swept across the battlefield.
In an instant!
Countless humans flying in the sky were struck by the light, their eyes rolled back, and they fainted, falling downwards.
However, humans at the Eighth-rank and above could still resist.
"Mind Tremor!"
The Merman King brandished his scepter again.
As the scepter swept down, another wave of light spread out.
At this moment, even Eighth-rank humans could not withstand it.
They felt their hearts pounding, their faces flushing, their limbs growing weak, their strength draining, and they fainted.
Only the remaining Ninth-rank humans could still resist this light, but their expressions changed drastically.
The Charioteer's mouth gaped open as he stared at the scepter in the Merman King's hand.
"That scepter must be a treasure!"
"Forget about that, retreat quickly!"
However, before they could retreat, the next moment.
The Merman King raised his scepter again.
The scepter fell.
"Kingdom of God!"
Sacred light spread out in all directions.
Everyone felt a warmth spread through their bodies, and they could no longer muster any strength.
Lord Yan and the others' eyes changed, becoming pious and gentle.
Only Fuyaozi, with his eyes capable of piercing illusions, was unaffected.
Everyone else was lost in the beautiful dream of the kingdom.
At this moment, the human race was in peril!
