The Merman King was stunned.
What was going on?
What in the world was happening?
It was bad enough that thirty undead creatures had died inexplicably.
As if things couldn't get any worse, an even more catastrophic event struck.
The Death Triangle exploded, unleashing unimaginable power that swept through his ten million strong army.
The sea in this area seemed to boil. Laws shattered, light rained down, and terrifying energy easily destroyed everything.
Most of the ten million strong marine army was instantly vaporized, leaving not even a speck of dust.
The rest were instantly turned into cooked seafood, floating densely on the surface of the sea.
The remaining few survivors, having never experienced such a terrifying scene, were so scared they lost their minds. They flipped onto their backs, collapsed in the water, trembling, and completely lost their fighting spirit.
Most incredibly, all the misfortune befell only the Merman King's side.
On Ponyo's side, there was no impact whatsoever; they were completely unharmed.
"You traitors! You dared to attack His Majesty Ponyo, and now you're facing divine retribution. This proves that Ponyo's position as Sea Emperor is destined by heaven. Those who defy will perish."
The Silver Flood Dragon King was covered in bloody wounds, but at this moment, he was incredibly excited and thrilled.
Indeed, they were favored by the gods. They had managed to turn the tables in such a situation and achieve ultimate victory.
"No, it shouldn't be like this..."
The Merman King was driven to madness. "There is no such thing as destiny in this world. There is only the victor becoming king and the loser becoming a captive. As long as I kill you, everything can still be salvaged."
Black flames ignited on his body, and an aura of undeath permeated the air. The trident in his hand erupted with divine light, unleashing immense power as he crushed towards Ponyo.
He was determined to go all out, to kill Ponyo at all costs and turn the tide.
As long as he could kill Ponyo, he could still make a comeback.
*Bang!*
The waves on the sea suddenly exploded. The charging Merman King was struck, let out a scream, and was sent flying backward, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. Countless bones were broken.
Ji Hanhan, holding Luna, emerged from the seabed. It was a sheer coincidence that he almost split the unfortunate Merman King in half.
The Chaos Bell had shrunk to the size of a thumb and was re-attached to the tip of Ji Mo's hair.
Luna's pretty face was pale, and she held tightly onto Ji Mo's embrace. She looked up at the bright sun in the sky, a sweet smile on her lips.
Finally, she had escaped the dark and lightless Land of Buried Gods. The feeling of freedom was truly wonderful.
"It's my Mo Ge! He's not dead. Could all of this be Mo Ge's plan? He deliberately risked his life to enter the Land of Buried Gods, using it to set up an astonishing scheme to deal with the Merman King in one fell swoop."
Nangong Chou's eyes widened. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that things were not simple. It was a chain of events, and everything seemed to be within Ji Mo's calculations.
Thirty undead creatures, an army of ten million marine creatures – such terrifying power, yet it was so easily annihilated by Ji Mo.
Otherwise, this battle for the Sea Emperor would never have ended so quickly.
"So insidious. Fortunately, I didn't go against him back then, or I wouldn't have known how I died."
Ao Cheng sighed with emotion and then looked at Nangong Chou with a lovesick expression, filled with gratitude.
If he hadn't been coveting Nangong Chou's beauty back then and pretended to submit to Ji Mo, his grave would probably be covered in several meters of grass by now.
He felt that Nangong Chou had saved his life and that he must repay him with all his heart.
Yes, to show his sincerity, offering himself would be the best.
His gaze towards Nangong Chou became increasingly inappropriate.
"Mo Mo..."
Seeing Ji Mo's figure, Ponyo, excited, leaped towards him.
But she suddenly saw a peerless beauty tightly embraced in Ji Mo's arms, and her little face instantly fell.
"You... you're seeing other women behind my back..."
Ponyo's face turned red with anger, and her nose felt a little sore.
In her impression, Ji Mo had never been so intimate with any other woman. Even she herself only had the chance to be in Ji Mo's embrace when she was in her clownfish form.
Now, a woman who was impossibly beautiful was so close to Ji Hanhan, causing Ponyo's jealousy to boil over.
"Ponyo, don't talk nonsense. This is not some random woman, she is..."
Ji Mo was speechless, then lowered his head and asked Luna softly, "Miss, what's your name?"
"Hmph, you're still trying to trick me? You don't even know her name, yet you're holding her so tightly? From now on, you can't cuddle, hug, or lift me up anymore."
Ponyo pouted, feeling very angry in her heart.
She had rushed over as soon as she heard he was in trouble, but this scoundrel had gone to find a mistress.
"Cuddle? Hug?"
Luna heard Ponyo's words and then noticed her ambiguous posture with Ji Mo, her expression immediately turning displeased.
Men, as expected, were all bad.
She extended her fair hand, pinched Ji Mo's soft flesh on his waist, and twisted it a full 180 degrees.
"Hiss..."
Ji Mo gasped in pain.
Even though he had thick skin, he couldn't withstand this real damage.
It really hurt!
I'm kindly saving you, and not only am I not thanked, but you're also pinching me so hard?
Hmph, women, so unreasonable.
"Hmph,渣男!"
Luna snorted coldly and then said, "I am too weak and need to sleep for a while to recover my depleted origin. Don't bother me if there's nothing important."
With that, she transformed into a beam of moonlight and entered the Moon God Ring in Ji Mo's hand.
However, she was not ungrateful. Before disappearing, she scattered a ball of light.
This ball of light spread out like flowing water, containing unimaginable life essence and divine healing power.
The flood dragons and deep-sea behemoths that were injured in the previous battle, no matter how severe their injuries, were instantly healed.
Even some who were on the verge of death were jumping around lively in an instant.
"My heavens, this is a goddess!"
Nangong Manyin's eyes shone with golden light as she discerned Luna's true nature.
She was stunned. Did Mr. Ji pull a deity out of the Land of Buried Gods? It was simply unimaginable!
...
In the vast starry sky, a broom-shaped meteor streaked across, heading towards the galaxy-shaped star domain.
Tian Tu's true form was within this broom star.
Suddenly, he sensed something, and his face turned ashen.
"The wisp of divine consciousness I left in the Land of Buried Gods to fish has actually disappeared. It seems a big fish took advantage of my absence to cause trouble. Let that little grasshopper jump around for a while. Once I harvest that Blue Star, I'll come back to deal with him."
Tian Tu muttered, not taking the matter to heart.
The most important thing now was to find a way to eliminate that heaven-defying race with the Yanhuang bloodline. He didn't want any more monsters like Venerable Kongxu to emerge from there.
Suddenly.
Tian Tu trembled and couldn't help but rub his right eye, murmuring, "My right eyelid has been twitching lately. What does this omen mean? Could it be hinting that I'm going to strike it rich this time and obtain unimaginable good fortune on the Blue Star?"
After pondering for a moment, Tian Tu revealed a look of ambition, believing that this harvest would surely bring astonishing gains.
"Haha..."
He couldn't help but laugh heartily.
