“These are a group of Fishman warriors conducting a battle formation drill!”

“Their numbers are no less than a hundred thousand. The male mermaids are tall and strong, brandishing weapons such as fish spear battle swords and the like.”

“The female mermaids have graceful figures and snow-white skin. They wear simple clothes to cover their modesty or garments made of strung pearls or skirts woven from seaweed. Or just colorful shells strung across their chests to hide their blushing tips!”

“However, these mermaids may appear either lithe or delicate, but their strength is nothing to scoff at, especially when such a vast number is gathered. Their presence is powerful and intimidating!”

“Even though these mermaids are dressed simply and their skin shimmers under the sun’s rays, the sheer number is still quite astounding.”

“What’s more, not far from these Fishmen roam several with a powerful aura, having already condensed their Divine Status.”

“Who dares to intrude upon our army’s formation?”

“Hey? They look a lot like those invaders!”

“No matter who they are, daring to barge in at this time, they’re surely up to no good. Capture them first and ask questions later!”

As several powerful mermaids issued commands, the tens of thousands of Fishmen began to unleash potent spells under the direction of their fellow powerhouses, hurling them toward them!

“Damn it!”

Qin Feng cursed under his breath.

While casting Divine Skills and deploying Defensive Magic to fend off the mermaids’ spell attacks, he pulled the Spirit Turtle out of the Demon Refining Pot again, “What’s going on? How have we encountered so many attacks in less than half a day?”

At this moment, Qin Feng seriously wondered whether the Spirit Turtle was inept since it had failed to detect the actions of that deity skilled in manipulating destiny!

“Impossible, right?”

The Spirit Turtle was also somewhat surprised at the suggestion.

Then the Eight Trigrams Divine Pattern on its back began to flicker with Spirit Light, and a moment later, it suddenly lifted a paw to slap its head, “That’s it! Master, the deity wielding the Destiny Principle surely hasn’t manipulated your destinies. Even if she wanted to, it would be impossible.

Because the Qi Fortune upon you is too strong, even though it is not native to this world and not under the favor of the local Heavenly Dao, the dense Qi Fortune upon you will protect you from the influence of those destiny threads. If the other party wishes to meddle with your fortunes from a distant place, the energy expended would be too great, making it somewhat counterproductive!”

“Then why are there still so many beings that have successively tried to obstruct us?”

Qin Feng inquired.

“That Destiny Goddess may not be able to control your fortunes, but she can manipulate the destiny of these Water Clan members.”

The Spirit Turtle extended a claw to point at the mermaid army ahead and explained, “Among this group of Fishmen, a considerable number are connected by destiny threads. Even the leading Fishman Gods are no exception!”

With that explanation, Qin Feng suddenly realized that he and his companion had been ensnared by that Destiny Goddess’s scheme.

Although she hadn’t manipulated their destinies directly, she could use the destiny threads upon them to determine the direction of their departure and then direct these mermaids, fire-breathing monsters, and flocks of strange birds to block their path.

This was why the Destiny Goddess Clotho was so confident that she could catch up with them.

Admittedly, they could change direction to foil some of Clotho’s plans, but this would also delay their return.

Even with the Destiny Goddess, Clotho, manipulating the destinies of these beings to block their path in this direction, she could just as easily arrange obstacles on their new escape route.

Unfortunately, they did not have the luxury of constantly changing their flying escape route, especially since the pursuers behind them were much more powerful than they were at the moment, and any delay would make it easy for them to be caught up.

Looking at the dense mermaid army formation ahead, Li Miao Zhen snorted coldly and waved her White Tiger Saber, “Why bother with so much fuss? No matter how many tricks that guy sets up to block our way, we’ll just cut through it. As if these fish demons could stop us—wishful thinking!”

Before her words even faded, she charged forward as the leader, splitting the sea with a majestic sword energy nearly a thousand feet long, forcibly parting the Fishman war formation, and dashed ahead like lightning.

“Stop them, don’t let these invaders from another world escape!”

With a chorus of calls, several graceful mermaid gods fluttered their tails gracefully, swimming lightly to the front of Li Miao Zhen, blocking her path.

They each manipulated the water currents, conjuring waves, whirlpools, and water blades to attack Li Miao Zhen all at once.

One mermaid reached to her waist and took out a palm-sized conch, putting it to her lips and blowing into it melodiously.

Yet, this sound, which should have been very pleasant to listen to, was able to stir their spirits when it reached the ears of the two escapees, causing an abundance of illusions to appear before them!

Fortunately, they were from the Beast Taming Sect, and cultivators of the sect focused on Divine Sense from the very beginning to control a large number of Spiritual Beasts, making their Divine Souls much stronger than ordinary cultivators. Moreover, they had already achieved Longevity and their Primordial Spirits had evolved into Immortal Souls, so they were not greatly affected and quickly calmed their spirits!

However, even a moment’s delay meant that the vast mermaid army had already surrounded them, and under the command of some powerful Fishman generals, they stirred up towering waves to engulf the two.

“Hmph!”

Qin Feng let out a cold hum, “Just because you have numbers, you think you can bully me for not having followers?”

He waved his hand and released several Spiritual Beasts.

“Ribbit…”

With a croak, the Swallowing Sky Toad’s figure flashed and vanished, jumping through space to appear behind a Fishman general, extending its long tongue to swallow the robust Fishman in one gulp!

“Roar…”

The White Dragon roared, its formidable Dragon Power spreading out, intimidating all directions. With a flick of its tail, it charged into the Fishman crowd.

As a Giant Dragon, and one that grew up on Dragon Island—accustomed to diving into the sea to hunt giant sea creatures for food—it was very familiar with sea battles.

“Roar…”

The Hellhound, now with three Dog Heads, roared and stomped its sturdy limbs in the water, suddenly lunging forth, opening three huge mouths to exhibit its Devouring Divine Power like three black holes, swallowing several powerful Fishmen in succession.

It didn’t even need to paddle; the sheer force of its presence scattered the water around it, and it rampaged through the Fishman crowd with a ferocious aura, causing many Fishmen to flee in terror.

A flash of lightning sparked underwater as the Spring and Autumn Cicada, fast as lightning, took advantage of its speed to dart through the mermaid crowd. Even without using Magic Divine Power, the sheer sharpness of its cicada wings was enough to decapitate countless mermaids!

Behind Qin Feng, the Spirit Turtle, which had been obediently following, suddenly let out a bellow and flicked its limbs, shooting forth rapidly. It then tucked its head and limbs into its Turtle Shell, using its hard carapace to smash through a large part of the formation, causing chaos in the Fishman ranks.

While previously not adept at direct combat, it had since merged with the Dragon Turtle Bloodline, not only gaining the Innate Divine Ability of Water Manipulation from the Dragon Turtle but also infinite Divine Power. What’s more, it had now advanced to the Primordial Spirit Realm. Aside from feeling a little down due to Qin Feng’s Becoming an Immortal, it was quite smug about itself.

Seeing Qin Feng summoning the other Spiritual Beasts to battle, it refused to be outdone, not wanting to be looked down upon by these Spiritual Beasts.

Moreover, by this time if it didn’t make an effort, would Qin Feng ever think of it again when there are bounties in the future?

So this guy charged into battle with zeal.

In fact, relying solely on its brute strength and formidable defense, it was already capable of cutting through the Fishman army in and out seven times.

After all, even Fishmen who have achieved divine status are unlikely to easily break its sturdy turtle shell. With its safety assured, it could easily cause chaos amongst the Fishmen, who hadn’t anticipated Qin Feng’s Spiritual Beasts forming an independent War Formation.

And within a disordered formation, ordinary Fishmen were simply incapable of inflicting any damage on it!

Besides summoning several Spiritual Beasts, Li Miao Zhen also released a few that specialized in naval warfare.

They did not summon all the Spiritual Beasts; for example, the Undying Qingluan and the Ghost-Faced Spider would have their combat abilities significantly reduced in the sea.

Nevertheless, it was enough. Whether they were in the Primordial Spirit Realm or Dharma Image Realm, the sudden appearance of these Spiritual Beasts immediately threw the Fishman army into chaos!

However, this was still a vast army, and it quickly steadied itself under the command of several powerful demigod Mermaids, attempting to counterattack and surround these Spiritual Beasts!

Upon seeing this, Qin Feng’s heart stirred, and he then released the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon.

“Roar…”

With the casting of Fatian Xiangdi, the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon’s figure suddenly swelled, turning into a grand dragon eight thousand zhang in length. Along with its nine colossal heads, it easily covered a vast space in the sea, sending tremors of fear through the numerous Mermaids below.

Before they had a chance to escape, all nine dragon heads opened their jaws wide and began to devour like whales, swallowing all the Mermaids in that large area of the sea in a flash!

Of course, Qin Feng didn’t make a habit of eating people, and even though Mermaids had human upper bodies, he had no intention of consuming them as food. Instead, he had the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon use its Space Divine Power to swallow them into its vast internal space, planning to send them into the Demon Refining Pot to cultivate a usable army for himself.

Although the Mermaids were part of the Sea Clan and their combat abilities on land definitely fell short compared to in the sea, what he needed was a navy.

The previous performance of this Mermaid army had been quite impressive, capable of regrouping and reforming their War Formation so quickly. If their numbers grew to a certain extent, they would undoubtedly play a significant role.

Within the Void Ten Thousand Realms, many have sea areas, and some worlds are purely oceanic. Preparing a navy now was indeed necessary.

As for other categories of forces, he could slowly allocate them in the future when the opportunity arises!

However good his intentions were, the Mermaid powerhouses were not willing to sit by and watch.

Discovering a large number of their people being devoured by this suddenly emerging monster, they felt both shocked and immensely enraged.

While the Mermaids were a very large group in the sea domains, this Fishman Kingdom was merely a part of that group. If they allowed that nine-headed beast to continue devouring, it would inflict severe damage on their strength, and the kingdom might not even survive.

Therefore, several of the Fishman powerhouses immediately took action, attempting to stop the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon.

“Boom…”

An explosion echoed throughout the entire sea area. Sёarᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With numerous opponents gone, Li Miao Zhen felt significantly less pressure. Her saber force surged, unleashing a Sword Energy Storm and fending off the two Fishman Gods in front of her, leaving them covered in wounds and too intimidated to obstruct her path again.

The remaining Fishman powerhouses were caught in a quandary upon seeing this, unsure whether they should first handle Li Miao Zhen, to avoid her slaying their Godly comrades, or to stop the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon that was wreaking havoc within the Fishman army formation!

Becoming a god was the foundation of their foothold in the sea area, and the clan members in those armies were also their means of deterring all sides. Neither could be spared!

“Ha ha ha ha…”

Qin Feng’s laughter rang wildly.

He did not target the few powerful Fishman, but instead singled out the Demigod and Dharma Image Realm Fishmen in the military formations, knocking some unconscious and injuring others, then one by one, he collected them all into the Demon Refining Pot.

An army, of course, had to have strong commanders, and these Demigod Realm powerhouses were originally the mermaid commanders. Since he wanted to form an army, of course, he could not do without them.

The mermaid ranks included both male and female, and once taken into the Demon Refining Pot, with the level of Spiritual Energy and the abundant resources of the second layer of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, he believed that, in less than a hundred years, without natural enemies or competitors, they would breed countless offspring and then train a vast army for him.

However, the lack of natural enemies and competitors might not be an entirely good thing, Qin Feng felt that he would have to introduce some other Water Clan demons and some powerful aquatic Spiritual Beasts later, otherwise, he really feared that a too comfortable environment would not produce a real army.

Perhaps, after returning to Biluo, he could also learn from the ways the East Sea Dragon Clan trained their navy.

Of course, the Beast Taming Sect itself also bred many Water Clan Demon Soldiers, so he could ask the Sect for some to supplement the species variety in the Demon Refining Pot.

Under the rampage of several Spiritual Beasts and the crazed devouring by the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon, the military formation remained in chaos.

Qin Feng, swift as lightning, continuously captured a large number of high-ranking mermaid commanders, and soon the great mermaid army could no longer bear such losses and began to disperse.

Of course, the main reason was that the mermaid gods were not strong enough; they not only failed to stop Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen, but one of the mermaid gods, thinking itself mighty, directly charged at the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon. In its Fatian Xiangdi state, the dragon swiped its tail and sent the mermaid god flying, causing it to spit out three liters of blood.

Such a scene instantly became the last straw that broke the camel’s back, causing countless mermaids to flee in disarray.

With even the gods unable to match the opponents, staying there meant waiting for death, right?

This made it even easier for the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon; with its massive body, a simple movement was enough to catch up with the direction of the most mermaids fleeing. Apart from those who dispersed and escaped deeper into the sea, which it directly spared, any clusters were its targets for devouring.

After several attempts, it devoured nearly half of the mermaid troops and then stopped, called back by Qin Feng.

“Sister, it’s time for us to leave!”

Qin Feng called out to Li Miao Zhen.

This grand battle had delayed them quite a bit. Although he also wanted to take all the mermaids into the Demon Refining Pot and even thought about suppressing a mermaid who had amassed Divine Status to lead these mermaids in the pot, time did not permit.

After all, there were masters skilled in the Destiny Principle chasing them from behind, and if they stayed here too long and were caught up by the opposition, escaping later would not be easy.

He waved his hand to recall all the Spiritual Beasts, and the Nine-Headed Ghost Fire Flame Dragon also entered into the Demon Refining Pot, sending all the mermaids it had devoured into the sea area of Beiming Immortal Mansion.

These mermaids were still in shock, originally thinking they would be eaten by the ferocious nine-headed monster, surely not to survive. Unexpectedly, not only were they not digested, but they were also sent to this fertile sea area, leaving them looking at each other in bewilderment, as if in a dream.

Where is this?

Although it was still a sea area, it was definitely different from the one they had been waging war in before, even the smell of the sea was different.

The Spirit Turtle floated above the water, shaking its bald little head and squinting its eyes as it sized up the group of mermaids, then suddenly chuckled hee-hee and with a sway of its body, transformed into human form.
