98 Sea God Island
As Xue Long and his maids proceeded to walk towards the Sea God island they finally saw the island itself in the distance.
Though they soon were greeted by packs of Sharks as they rushed towards them with intentions to slaughter their numbers.
"Girls, you may reveal your cultivation bases."
The moment the order was given the moment they all revealed their cultivation.
One by one the incoming sharks sensed cultivation between rank 92 to Rank 97. This made them all slightly hesitant as such force was something they never sensed before!
"Begin."
The Crown Prince ordered the attack and everyone rushed forwards to engage the sharks. One would say that this battle was not fair because they are on water and sharks have enormous advantage as they erupt from the water from hard-to-defend angles.
But, this was not the case as there are multitude of maids who control water and they can fly…
And the biggest advantage the girls have is the multitude of different Martial Spirits.
Though before seven people met Xue Long, they all radiated cultivation that of Titled Douluo.
"I am disappointed, Dong'er said that there is an array of Super and Hyper Douluos in Sea God Island. It appears she has hyped this place too much." The Crown Prince said that as he looked at his 'opponents'.
"Tell us the reason for your invasion, stranger." The one who was leading the group said with a serious tone.
"...Stranger? So you are clueless about who rules the continent. No wonder. Let me show you who I am." The Prince said that as he merged with his Martial Spirit that moment it felt like the whole reality shifted as the merger happened. The merger was extremely strange to people who are used to seeing people gain animal-like traits or obtain a weapon. That kind of thing.
But not this time, what they saw was a change of clothes, six wings manifested on his back and a golden red spear appeared in his hand!
There was a dragon mask on the side of his face as well. And that's it! No beast characteristics apart from the wings… they would say that this was Tool spirit since he has a spear but clothes and wings manifested…
So what kind of Martial Spirit is this!?
"Crown Prince Xue Long, Martial Spirit Martial Dragon God, Rank 99 Quasi-Demi-God, shall we begin?"
"R-R-Rank 99!?"
"There is another Rank 99!?"
Before they could get over their shock the prince was already in front of the one who asked him who he was. The speed was something that the Rank 95 could not even understand. Next moment he was smacked with force which sent him sailing away right into the inland in the distance. Then the next moment the other six were hit at the same time as well as it looked like he was in front of them at the very same time!
And just like that, he dealt with all the 'Children of Sea God!'
'Dong'er lied to me… I will punish her later for hyping me this much!'
For a second he frowned and looked inland before turning around to look at how the girls were dealing with the sharks.
"Hmm?" His gaze ended up on his Fiance fighting a woman who had silvery blue hair, Xue Long can pick up that this was the Queen of all the Demon Spirit White Sharks. A Great Beast with age being above 100 Thousand years.
'It appears she is quite powerful enough to resist Renxue who is a Hyper Douluo.'
Though the blonde quite easily overwhelms the Shark Queen after delivering several powerful slashes. This caused the shark to be sent back into the sea.
"That was the final one. I can sense that she was called back. Should we proceed?" The blonde floated over next to Xue Long after seeing her enemy retreat like that.
The maids didn't kill all the sharks, only a few unlucky ones died, this was after all a conquest, not a massacre.
"Yes, the Sea God Priestess recalled her. Let's move forward. We need to see this woman in person."
Qian Renxue nodded as they all continued to advance.
~~~
"Priestess, why did you recall me!?" The Shark Queen asked with a frown as she was breathing heavily.
"You will die fighting against them."
"It doesn't matter! We need to protect the Sea God Island!"
"They are not coming here to destroy the island, they are coming here to conquer us."
The Shark Queen frowned for a bit before slightly calming down.
"I see, and what now?"
"The only option I have is to summon the Sea God. I doubt I could beat all of them."
Soon enough the Sea God Priestess Bo Saixi was face to face with Xue Long. She had confidence that she could fight him and most likely get a draw while fighting in the ocean. Though… that was before she saw him personally. Now… she is not that sure anymore.
"So… you are the Priestess of Sea God Island, a Rank 99, my name is Crown Prince Xue Long and this island of yours will be falling under my Empire's rule."
"No such thing will happen. We only follow the guidance of the Sea God and Sea God alone." The Shark Queen said furiously as she was once again ready to fight. This time the Crown Prince.
But, once again Bo Saixi stopped the Shark lady by putting her hand on her shoulder.
"No, he is too powerful for you. I will be the one to face him."
As the silver-haired Priestess, she took a step forward and got in front of Xue Long.
"We shall fight and if you win the island will be yours."
"Oh, so you are stronger than that whale? Good, let's see how you fare against me." For a second the Crown Prince said that in quite an 'excited' tone. He was pretending of course since he knew she was weaker than the whale he dealt with, he only needed to sense her once to know the truth.
Hearing about the whale made Bo Saixi start to sweat nervously as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale was stronger than her.
Without wasting much time she summoned her Spirit Rings which had impressed the maids to a small degree. This lady had 8 black ones and one red! So this was the configuration of a Priest to a God? Quite impressive by regular people's standards.
Yet, the next moment she and the Shark Queen dropped on their knees as crushing pressure descended on them.
This made their eyes bulge out as sweat started to roll down from their foreheads. This guy's cultivation alone made their power inconsequential.
'He…he can rival a God while being a Rank 99!?'
Seeing that this was not working at all, there was only one way to deal with this situation with hopes that Sea God Island would retain their independence.
And that was to summon the Patron God itself. Bo Saixi can do that for a short while.
Thus a pillar of light exploded from the Priestess body as a towering being, a God manifested in front of Xue Long.
The Prince slightly frowned when he sensed an actual God in front of him.
'His power is heavily confined in the mortal realm, just like mine is. Though…he doesn't look like he wants to fight.' Xue Long thought to himself as he looked at the being in front of him.
All of his maids were shell-shocked to see an actual God in front of them! The Priestess can summon her God!?
"Successor to Dragon God, my name is Poseidon the God of Sea. I wish to discuss the terms of surrender of my God Sea Island."
His words made the Priestess and the Shark Queen mouths open wide as they heard what the Sea God himself had said!
"Oh? Do speak, I doubt you can stay in a mortal plane for long." Xue Long motioned for him to continue.
"Yes, then I will keep this short. My Island has a higher purpose, the pillars granted by me are keeping the Oceans calm, and the majority of Sea Spirit Beasts are using this place to gather as well. As long as all of those functions are allowed to continue then the island will be yours." The Trident wielding God said with a simple tone.
"This is all fine. All I want is the harbour, the city and the docks. All the Temple-related things can continue how they were before." The Crown Prince revealed what he wanted.
"Good. In faith of our deal, my descendant is yours, train her well." After saying that the Sea God simply disappeared.
The blonde Prince chuckled when he heard the last words, even as a God the man still finds a way to play politics…
Though after thinking that he looked at Bo Saixi who looked at him with wide eyes. Her cheeks were heavy pink. Did her ancestor just throw her at the conqueror to please him? Or what!? What's the point in all of this!?
Yet, she won't say no… she can't go against her God…
"It appears the last conquest has ended without even starting. *sigh* well whatever." Xue Long realised that there is not that much to do now before he is going to ascend to Godhood.
"No! This can't be happening! Are we going to obey the land dwellers' wishes now!?" The Shark Queen got quite furious when she realised that the Sea God won't do anything!
"If you don't like it then try to change it. I don't mind spanking you into obedience." Xue Long said without caring a shrug.
With a growl, something snapped in her and she tried to attack him. Bo Saixi was too slow to stop the Proud Queen. she would rather die than obey someone from outside the Sea.
"Wait! He won't touch the temple!" The silver-haired priestess was too late as the Crown Prince already had the Queen in his hands. The whole sequence made the Priestess confused and horrified. How quick does he move to make the Shark Queen so ineffective!
"I always wanted to have a pet from the sea. You sure fit nicely, I already have a dragon, a lion and a shark would fit nicely." The Crown Prince said while holding the blue and grey-haired Demon Spirit White Shark Queen.
He was holding her by the neck as the woman could not ever raise her limbs from the sheer presence he was releasing.
"W-Wait! Can we discuss this!? Xiao Bai is the guardian of the Sea God Temple!" Bo Saixi walked over and tried to negotiate with the Prince.
"She is doing a bad job, by this point. As you can see." He said that while his other hand went up touched the distinctive hair of this Shark Queen.
He was curious how the Great Beast from Sea feels compared to that from the Great Beast from the land.
"B-But…"
"She will be fine. I take care of my own. I helped a 270 thousand-year-old to become a 300 thousand year old Great Beast. I could help Xiao Bai become a 200 or even 300-thousand-year-old Great Beast. By this point, I am quite a talented pet owner." Xue Long quite proudly said that as he has quite a good list of achievements.
"I-I-I am not a…Pet." The Shark Queen said with some difficulty as she was struggling with a hand around her neck.
"Oh? And what are you then? A fish for dinner? I still have a maid who needs her Ninth Ring. You could do it." The Prince said with a smirk when he called her fish for dinner.
"Wait! I could offer you an even better deal! Do you want a pet? I have sealed away a 100 thousand-year-old Nine-Knot Ichthyosaur! It's a huge Sea Dragon!" Bo Saixi said that with a sweaty forehead as she was pulling straws here!
That moment the Crown Prince dropped Xiao Bai and looked at the Priestess with wide eyes.
"Sea Dragon? I think… I like it much better! Yes, it appears the true conquest is not the island but the Priestess." As he said that he completely forgot about the Shark woman and instead fully focuses on the Silver-haired Priestess!
Such a good girl already has a pet prepared for him! He is pleased!
