Ice cave.

Zhu Yu suddenly noticed that the chill in the air had thinned considerably. Upon receiving the information from his "original body," he looked intently at the infant curled up on the stone bed.

"It crashed—"

Based on the information transmitted from the main body.

The distracted spirit could be said to have successfully taken over the infant's body, or it could be said to have failed, because the infant had no independent and complete logical memory, and the distracted spirit successfully took over its body the moment it entered.

But unlike previous invasions of the body.

The infant's physical structure, or rather its status, is too high, so that the distracting spirit cannot comprehend its bodily information and cannot fully integrate it into one. It can only be temporarily shielded by the "eye of true vision".

In other words.

It was successful, but due to insufficient knowledge of the "entity", the infant could only be forced into a frozen state and wait to be restarted.

"What the hell is this thing—?"

Zhu Yu frowned and looked him over a few times. He was certain that this guy was definitely not human, but he did not have any eerie aura, much less be a monster.

"Forget it, let the 'original body' worry about it—"

Unable to figure it out, he simply stopped thinking about it and gently shook the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner," and a black light enveloped the infant.

next moment.

A feeling of heaviness, as if a mountain had been pulled up, emanated from him.

"Tsk, it's like a mountain has sunk—"

Zhu Yu was secretly amazed. The black light emanating from the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" surged, and he forcefully lifted the long banner.

"receive."

The black light struggled to lift the infant, and it took a great deal of effort to finally send him into the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner".

And the moment it moved in.

The spirit of the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" immediately erupted, relentlessly conveying emotions of rejection, disgust, and panic to him.

"Um?--"

Seeing the usually silent "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" suddenly erupt in anger, Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment. He quickly tried to soothe it with kind words. After finally calming it down, he sensed the state of the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" and immediately felt a headache coming on.

Containing the "infant," the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" used 70% of its power to support it, while the remaining 30% was still guarding against it, ready to throw it out at any time.

"Well, the 'Ten Thousand Souls Banner' is useless now—"

This isn't discovering a treasure; it's finding yourself a living father.

Zhu Yu shook his head speechlessly. He released and then retracted the Ghost Domain, taking the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" into it. He glanced around, turned into black smoke, and surged into the glacier, returning to the glacier crevice along the path he had come from.

I don't know if it's just my imagination.

He remarked that the chilling cold emanating from the glacier seemed to be slowly dissipating, and with less obstruction, the speed had increased considerably.

When the crack returns.

Zhu Yu sensed it briefly, and his expression immediately turned serious.

The surrounding chill was like an avalanche; in a short time, it thinned by more than half. According to his perception, it would probably not be long before the chill completely dissipated, leaving only ordinary icy air.

It goes without saying.

His disappearance is definitely related to his hiding the "infant".

But once the chill disappears...

Ordinary cold air would probably be no longer enough to stop the monsters in the inner sea and the warriors of "Covering the Moon City".

Wait until it is discovered.

A war could break out at any moment.

"We need to leave quickly—"

With this in mind, Zhu Yu dared not linger. He glanced around, then transformed into a wisp of black smoke and fled towards the outer sea occupied by "Covering Moon City".

I don't know how long it has been.

When Zhu Yu emerged from the rift, he discovered that the number of lights in the sea above him was more than double what it had been before he left. He also found that there were more than one "Blood Realm" monster patrolling the area underwater.

Clearly, they are monsters that were reclaimed by the warriors of "Covering the Moon City".

Zhu Yu glanced around, thought for a moment, and decided to take the safest approach by burrowing underground to leave. Although this would be slower, it would greatly reduce the risk of being discovered.

Upon seeing a rare lanternfish swimming by, it did not hesitate, silently merging into the ground, going hundreds of feet deep, before using the "water ghost" as a means of communication to slowly escape towards the ghost field.

And not long after Zhu Yu left.

Suddenly, the glacier collapsed inward, and the seawater surged with turbulent waves. In a short while, a huge channel about a hundred feet wide appeared.

That is, at this time.

A deep, thunderous voice echoed across the surrounding seas.

"Enter the inner sea and slay the monsters."

"Ignite the blazing sun flames of my 'Moon-Covering City'!"

The words fell.

"Slay the monsters, ignite the 'Sun Flame'—"

Thousands of enormous ships resounded with powerful voices. On the top of each ship, the "Yang Flame" that had been hanging there suddenly swelled, and a bright orange-red halo slowly spread out, forming a protective shield that enveloped the ships.

Under the light.

As you can see, the deck of the boat is filled with warriors in dark armor, branded with flame patterns, and holding long spears.

As they shouted in unison, different blood-red pillars of energy rose above their heads, connecting with the "Yang Flame".

Streaks of flame shot into the sky, connecting with each other, and moved along with thousands of boats, one after another.

Ultimately, it transformed into an arrow burning with raging flames.

"Awesome!"

The silence was like thunder as the voice rang out again, and five thick plumes of blood-red smoke, each as thick as several people could encircle, rose one after another from within the fleet. As they poured in, the flames surged even more intensely.

The orange-red flames drove back the surrounding darkness that stretched for miles.

When the raging flames reach their peak.

"hit!"

Several different roaring sounds merged into one.

next moment.

This flaming arrow, a fusion of thousands of ships and tens of thousands of warriors, shot out like an arrow from a bow, transforming into a dazzling crimson rainbow as it plunged headlong into the glacial crevice.

Looking from afar.

A streak of crimson light flashed and pierced into the endless darkness.

After a dozen or so breaths.

Boom—Awooo—

Accompanied by a deafening roar like thunder, a piercing scream echoed throughout the land.

You can see it if you're close enough.

A fiery arrow, ten thousand feet long, pinned a toad as large as a mountain to an iceberg, and ink-black blood gushed from its wound like a waterfall.

But before the blood could even hit the ground...

It was instantly burned away by the raging flames attached to the arrow, turning into billowing black smoke that rose up and merged into the heavens and earth.

Meanwhile, Zhu Yu, who was underground, was so frightened by the burst of several scorching auras, like the sun, that he dared not move.

Until the breath disappears.

Only then did they dare to peek out from underground.

Then, following the further collapse of the glacier fissures, he saw tens of thousands of warriors connected by Yang Flame and arrows transformed from boats, pinning a colossal beast even more terrifying than the "Lord of a Thousand Eyes" he had ever seen to the glacier.

That overwhelming aura.

He could sense it even from thousands of miles away.

"Could that giant toad be the 'Sea-Swallowing King' from the fathead fish's memories? —"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yu subconsciously swallowed hard.

He suddenly realized that he didn't understand the "Ghost Realm". What was that flaming arrow? And the "Sea Devourer" was far too powerful. Wasn't it supposed to be a "Netherworld Rank" Great Ghost?

How does it compare to "Lord of a Thousand Eyes"?

The "Lord of a Thousand Eyes" looks like a little chick.

Just as he was thinking this.

A thunderous roar resounded.

"Humans, you're asking for death!"

Zhu Yu was startled and looked over. He saw that a silver pool of lightning had appeared on the ice mountain. Amidst the flashes of lightning, he could vaguely see a long, winding, and ferocious beast shadow.

"A dragon? The 'Lord of the Sea'? —"

Before he could think it through, under the light of lightning, the seawater on one side of the iceberg suddenly rose high, first with a pair of winding giant horns, followed by a bluish-green bull's head.

As the seawater recedes.

A colossal beast, even larger than the "Sea Devourer," resembling an ox with bulging muscles and bluish-green hair, appeared.

Then it raised its hoof and stomped hard.

The towering sea surged up from the ground, transforming into a curtain of water that blotted out the sky and poured down onto the iceberg.

at the same time.

The sky was filled with the roar of thunder and lightning, and a torrent of thunder crashed down.

next moment.

Zhu Yu felt the sea tremble several times, and then he saw endless colorful lights rising on the horizon, illuminating the surrounding world as if it were daytime.

A breath later.

Rumbling--

The deafening roar arrived late, accompanied by a rainbow-colored tide that roared in like a curtain of the sky.

"not good."

Zhu Yu's expression suddenly changed drastically. Without thinking, he transformed into a wisp of smoke and disappeared into the seabed. He continued to disappear a hundred feet underground, and then, not feeling safe, disappeared another hundred feet before finally stopping.

Before he could even catch his breath.

The pressure around the border increased dramatically, as if an invisible hand was forcefully kneading his area.

Zhu Yu hurriedly erected a protective shield to defend himself, feeling the demonic power within his body rapidly depleting. Not daring to be negligent, he directly refined the "essence blood" stored in the demonic domain to restore his demonic power.

Its effects were surprisingly good. As the "essence blood" was refined, a continuous stream of strange power surged out and was sent into the protective shield.

It lasted for the full time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The terrifying pressure finally dissipated like the wind.

"call--"

Zhu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, waited a moment longer, and then quietly left the ground, surfaced, looked around, and turned to look.

Looking through the glacial fissures that have expanded to thousands of feet.

In the distance, flaming arrows, thunder, and giant beasts all vanished, leaving only tiny specks of orange-red light flickering uncertainly.

"Are you done playing?"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yu dared not linger. He turned around and transformed into black smoke, fleeing towards the "ghost field".

They didn't get very far.

He suddenly let out a soft "Eh," and his form materialized as he looked over.

On the vast sea, one could see many broken and grotesque corpses floating scattered about.

And the aura it exudes.

Not a single piece of corpse fell below the "Blood Realm".

"Were you caught in the aftermath of the battle—?"

Still feeling a lingering fear, Zhu Yu immediately began collecting the remains of the monsters without hesitation. The further he went into the outer sea, the more monster remains he found.

Among them are many that contain "mysterious crystals".

This made his eyes light up.

He immediately summoned the ghost infant, the ghost bride, the blood arrow frog, and the ordinary monsters stored in the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner" to scavenge the remains of the corpses.

It's unknown how many pieces of corpses they collected.

When he noticed human ships starting to appear around him and the number of the monster corpses in the "Blood Realm" decreased, Zhu Yu gave up his desire to continue picking up bargains and put the monsters such as the monster infant and the monster bride into the "Ten Thousand Souls Banner".

His body transformed into black smoke and headed towards the eerie scene.

There were no major setbacks along the way.

When Zhu Yu returned to his home of ghosts, he saw a mountain of strange corpses piled up on the stone platform, some intact and some fragmented.

It was obviously collected by Bai Jingjing.

"This guy—"

Zhu Yu smiled, his mind focused on the "water ape," and before he could see the scene clearly, he heard Bai Jingjing's excited voice.

"We're rich! So many monsters! We're rich now!"

"Hehehe—"

As the image gradually becomes clearer.

Bai Jingjing's pale face turned even paler with excitement. She was soaking wet and excitedly urged the "Water Ape" to carry a large net and fish out the piled-up monster corpses outside the stone pillars of the eerie field.

Zhu Yu sensed for a moment and found that its location was not in the "Black Dragon Gang's" strange field, but in the "Sea Dragon Gang's" strange field. He shook his head slightly.

"This guy's got money to burn—"

Just as he was about to take control of the "Water Ape" and return with Bai Jingjing, he suddenly sensed a wisp of deeply hidden blood energy appearing in the water beneath his feet.

"A martial artist at the Ascending Sun Realm—"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhu Yu instantly took control of the "Water Ape". He did not rush to make a move, but pretended to follow Bai Jingjing's instructions to catch the monster's corpse. However, his senses were always focused on the person in the water beneath his feet.

We're just waiting for it to show itself so we can deliver a devastating blow.

Beneath the seabed.

A young man with a sinister face and disheveled hair, resembling a water ghost, stared intently at Bai Jingjing on the water ape's shoulder, listening to her commands to the water ape, a greedy glint in his eyes.

"What kind of opportunity did this water monster obtain to be able to control a 'Blood Fiend' realm monster? But it will be mine soon."

"With this 'Blood Fiend Realm' water ape, and the means to control monsters, Chief, hmph, I, Chu Da, might not be unable to do it—"

He forced down his excitement and didn't rush to make a move. Instead, he concealed his presence, circled the surrounding sea, and carefully determined whether the aquatic ape was truly controlled by Bai Jingjing.

Once he received a definite answer, Chu Da could no longer hold back.

Just as the water ape was about to catch the monster's corpse, it shot out from the seabed like a water snake, silently breaking through the water's surface and leaping to shoulder height with the water ape.

Chu Da looked at Bai Jingjing, who was jumping up and down on the water ape's shoulder, and a cold and fierce killing intent appeared in his eyes. He reached around his waist and a soft sword appeared in his palm.

He used all his strength, even when hunting a rabbit, holding his breath and concentrating, before aiming and stabbing at Bai Jingjing.

What he didn't expect was...

A pair of fists were already waiting for him. Before his sword could fall, a pair of huge, dark fists attacked from both sides.

When Chu Da realized what was happening, he found that the surrounding air was frozen solid, and he couldn't even dodge it.

"It's fake, she's acting against me—"

With a sudden thought, Chu Da glared angrily at Bai Jingjing, brandishing his sword. Strands of blood-red sword light, almost tangible, erupted, transforming into a sword wheel that circled around him.

next moment.

boom--

The water ape's tangible, unpredictable power and immense strength instantly shattered the sword wheel. Chu Da let out a scream before being crushed into a pile of minced meat by the combined attack of the two fists.

Before it could drip, it was absorbed by the water ape.

The pale white soft sword it used also disappeared into the water ape's body.

Bai Jingjing belatedly turned around, looked around blankly, and when she came to her senses, she saw a pale white soft sword floating beside her.

Zhu Yu's indifferent voice echoed in her ears.

"If you're not careful next time, you might die without even knowing how you died—"

The water ape turned around, carrying the large net of the monster's corpse, and with a few steps, it moved away from the "Sea Dragon Gang's" haunted area.

Bai Jingjing carefully picked up the pale white soft sword. When she saw the character "Chu" engraved on its blade, her pale face instantly streamed down her cheeks, and her legs unconsciously went weak.

She had been running a shady operation for a long time.

He had naturally heard of some of the experts within the "Sea Dragon Gang".

The gang has one dragon, three tigers, and twelve swordsmen, totaling sixteen masters.

Yi Long is the leader of the "Hailong Gang".

A martial artist of the Radiant Sun Realm, known as the "Sea Dragon".

The Three Tigers are the three hall masters, all of whom are peak "Ascension Realm" martial artists.

The Twelve Swordsmen were somewhat lacking, mostly consisting of martial artists in the mid-to-late stages of the "Rising Sun Realm".

The character "Chu" was on the sword in her hand.

He is Chu Da, one of the twelve swords of the "Sea Dragon Gang".
