--- Chapter 294 ---

A morning sun fell onto the Sea God Island, painting the land with warm sunlight.

Yunlong opened his eyes and felt the warm sunshine piercing his retina. Usually, one would feel hurt from doing this, but he was comfortable for some reason. Well, obviously.

He was meditating on the top of the Nine Heavens Staircases and refined his spirit energy more.

The quality of Yunlong's energy is higher than anyone in this world, but it's not enough to face off an individual with a wild god's strength level.

After going through Sea God's first and second trials, Yunlong realized quantity didn't matter to him anymore. There weren't any significant changes in how he fought, besides some limitations on skill usage.

A drop of refined spirit energy is better than Yunlong's usual spirit energy and could enhance spirit skills to become more powerful.

An example of that was his first spirit skill, which was [Fluidity] to change the texture of his martial soul, enabling him to shape the handkerchief into different shapes.

When Yunlong used refined spirit energy, his spirit skill became more substantial in changing the handkerchief texture to water-like.

"The way of immortal qi is work wonder, huh." He commented while shaking his stiff neck.

"Daddy, good morning." Little Saixi suddenly hugged Yunlong from behind, pushing her bosom against his back.

"Are you ready for the third trial?"

"I'm So Excited for today!!!"

Yunlong smiled wryly because Little Saixi's child energy was too high. It's such an odd contrast with Bo Saixi's adult body, but making her more adorable for some reason.

"Where is Kaguya, Little Saixi?" He asked naturally.

"Hmm, Mommy is talking with a water blob right now." Little Saixi answered with a displeased expression. "She seemed to dislike me now."

"Hmph, she didn't even hug me to sleep last night."

"I woke up with on her lap, though..."

Yunlong chuckled and responded, "That water blob is Kaguya's son."

"Well, not in an orthodox way."

"Orthodox?" Little Saixi tilted her head in confusion.

He patted her head and added, "Don't overthink it."

"That water blob isn't a bad guy or anything."

"I see, hmm." Little Saixi rested her head on top of Yunlong's head. "Mommy told me not to eat any candy in the morning."

"But I'm hungry."

"Is that so?" Yunlong brought out an instant cup of ramen from MHA's world. He has some varieties packs of it inside his inventory.

(An: He bought it before fighting AFO)

He collected the water in the atmosphere and heated it with True Solar Flame, killing any bacteria inside it.

"Little Saixi, look at this." He flicked his finger, and the warm water disappeared.

"Eh, where is the water?" She asked with a curious pair of eyes.

Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle inside because he teleported the warm water inside the ramen cup, obviously bringing out the plastic fork outside stimulatingly.

After a few moments, He opened the cup in front of Little Saixi and saw her surprised expression when sniffing the cup ramen's scent.

She stared at the cup of ramen and whispered, "Woah, Magic."

Since Yunlong and Little Saixi are still at the 999 steps of Nine Heavens Staircases, he teleported them near Sea God Temple.

Little Saixi landed on her butt and complained, "That's hurt! You shouldn't do that all of a sudden, daddy!"

"Mou~!"

"Here." Yunlong placed the plastic fork and ramen cup in Little Saixi's hand.

"Eat while it's still warm."

Little Saixi lowered her gaze to the ramen cup and felt the warmth through the plastic. A tempting aroma of the instant broth entered her nose, causing her to stare in awe.

She gradually picked up the plastic fork and scooped the noodle, twirling it like a small whirlpool.

"This..." Little Saixi tasted the noodles with a happy look on her face. "THIS is Tasty!"

"Yeah, I know," Yunlong casually commented while patting her head. "I ate this regularly in the past."

Kaguya walked out of the Sea God Temple and saw Yunlong patting Little Saixi.

"What are they doing?" She smiled a little and approached them with a curious gaze.

"Mommy, this tastes so good!" Little Saixi lifted her body and jumped to Kaguya, who caught her gently.

"Here, have some." She picked the noodles and shoved them into Kaguya's mouth.

(An: Children aren't chill)

.

.

A few hundred kilometers away from Sea God Island, a fleet of battleships arrived with almost no noise.

"According to the data, Sea God Island should be 370km ahead of us, but our drones couldn't detect it for some reason."

"Well, I supposed the last attack triggered the island's defensive mechanism." A man in a white admiral suit inhaled his cigar and stared at the boundless ocean.

He's in his late thirties with a sharp face, golden eyes, and wild red hair. He possessed a solid physique similar to Zhao Wuji from Shrek.

"Tch, what a waste of manpower."

"We lost an entire fleet because of an unknown person."

The admiral's room suddenly was opened by a beautiful woman in her early thirties. She possessed a pair of green eyes and striking long brown hair.

"Admiral Kong, we have received the black box recording of the 5th fleet." Lu Yufeng said while placing a notepad on the table.

"Please observe this video carefully."

Admiral Kong frowned and looked down at the notepad, seeing a silhouette floating in the sky with a black sword in his hand.

The silhouette's hand flickered, and a crimson energy sword slash swallowed the entire fleet into nothingness, leaving him speechless.

An unknown display of power shocked them.

The drone that caught this recording was swallowed by the void a moment later, and what they could see was a black screen.

Admiral Kong slumped on his seat and questioned, "How could someone replicate our Spirit Guidance 10th class cannon, Void Devourer's effect, with such a simple sword slash?"

Lu Yufeng shook her head and stated, "No, I heard the cannon even in the developing process right now, sir."

"What we had was merely an unstable tool compared to this sword slash."

"Sir, I know this sounds weird, but something is not right with Sea God Island now." She continued while crossing her arms.

"The priestess should have fallen to our hand with Sea God's inheritance, but no."

"What we had in hand is a mysterious individual with 10th class soul guidance weapon's strength."

Admiral Kong puffed his cigar and commented, "How about the rest of the fleet?"

"They should arrive soon." Lu Yufeng replied immediately.

"Is there more information about this unknown individual?" He added with a solemn tone.

Lu Yufeng fidgeted with her notepad and showed the zoomed picture of the mysterious individual, but everything around him became fuzzy for some reason.

"As you can see, we cannot zoom into his face." She weirdly answered because something like this had never happened before.

"The data also becomes corrupted when we try to pry more into this man's identity. Well, almost everything inside the black box got destroyed by the sword slash and virus."

"Secure the perimeter and send the 9th unit to the former location of Sea God Island." Admiral Kong instructed while tapping the table.

Lu Yufeng smiled and ran out of the admiral room, giving instructions to the 9th unit.

However, a few seconds later, she returned with a somewhat nervous look and said, "Admiral, we have detected an unknown flying object in the sky!"

"Huh?" Admiral Kong opened his room's balcony and raised his gaze to the sky, seeing a flash of golden spear approaching their fleet.

"What the fuck is that?!"

--- Sea God Island ---

Yunlong watched the sea and commanded, "Drown them, Pisces."

Since the Twelve Zodiacs shots weren't part of Yunlong's active skills, he could use them anytime he wanted. He used Leo when fighting Tang Xiao, causing him to have 11 shots left in his arsenal.

(An: He can use Leo again when charging it in the space)

A pair of golden carp materialized in the sky and released a dreadful pressure on the Sun and Moon Fleet.

"ACTIVATE SKY BARRIER!" Admiral Kong shouted at Lu Yufeng.

Lu Yufeng grasped her notepad and clicked a series of things on the screen, causing blue light to explode from the entire fleet.

A translucent blue shield formed around and stacked up to 7 layers, but Yunlong could only smirk at their futile resistance.

"Even though Pisces is not the strongest shot, did they think one of my Zodiacs was that weak." He whispered while crossing his arms.

"Well, let's find out, shall we?"

Pisces fell from the atmosphere and clashed with Sky Barrier from Sun and Moon's fleet.

BOOM!

A shockwave occurred and swept over the sea, creating several tornadoes.

Admiral Kong gritted his teeth and used his martial soul. A wild roar of a dusky-gold furred bear echoed in the sea, manifesting into a frightening golden claw.

"Heh, that's rare," Yunlong commented while looking at the golden claw. "What a waste of a good martial soul."

"Huh?" Admiral Kong noticed his golden bear claw somehow was devoured by the twin fish.

Unlike Leo, Pisces doesn't have the most destructive attack power out of the 12 zodiacs. However, it possessed the ability to absorb energy in its way, growing more powerful to destroy any energy-based defense.

It's a complete bane of energy-based defensive technique or formation.

Pisces opened their mouths and swallowed Admiral Kong's golden bear claws, striking the entire fleet with the momentum from the space itself.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!

"How-" Admiral Kong's eyes widened in shock, and he saw his entire fleet swept by the twin golden carp.

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony Activated]

[You have killed a spirit emperor]

[You have killed a spirit ancestor...]

[You have killed...]

[You have killed...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

[...]

"Half of them survived," Yunlong glanced at Little Saixi, who absolutely was fascinated by the sight of his Pisces.

"Come here, Little Saixi."

Little Saixi nodded and approached Yunlong with an adorable set of steps, like tiptoeing left and right on the concrete floor.

"You need to hug me from behind, okay?" He instructed while patting his back. "This is part of my trial, after all."

"Okay!" Little Saixi jumped onto Yunlong's back and hugged him like a koala.

Yunlong patted her and applied any surface-walking technique on Little Saixi's body, which meant she wouldn't slip out of his back.

"Are you guys ready?" He looked back at his companions, who had prepared for themselves.

"Yes, we are." They answered simultaneously.

He smiled at them and said, "Like what we had planned last night, secure your location first."

"Don't let anyone go past your territory."

Yunlong teleported them to different sections of Sea God Island's seashore, which he had marked last night.

"If you're in danger, contact me through your rings." He added lastly, to which they responded with a nod.

.

.

.

The Southeast of Sea God Island.

Kaguya opened her eyes and saw an open sea with a fleet of battleships in front of her. She frowned because this was more than she expected last night.

"This would take a while..." She activated her byakugan.

The North of Sea God Island.

Chu Xiaoyu landed on the water surface and used the water-walking technique.

"Fire!"

A series of cannonballs suddenly was launched at her.

"Huu... Frozen World." She stared at the sky calmly and drew her sword out.

The entire scenery was stagnant because everything around Chu Xiaoyu turned into a frozen world, including the ocean.

Chu Xiaoyu watched the cannonballs crumble into small pieces and pointed her sword at the incoming battleship.

"My condition is perfect." She commented calmly.

The West of Sea God Island.

Xue Nu floated above the sea surface and gently flicked her hand, creating an extreme snowstorm.

Even though she couldn't use more than 70% of her power, with the newly created Spirit Core, every technique she used would be so much stronger than before.

A drone flew into the snowstorm, which Xue Nu destroyed immediately.

"Destroy every strange object you see." She moved her gaze to a group of humans in an armor-like suit.

The Northwest of Sea God Island.

Zhu Zhuyun played with her fingers and looked at the sky with a yawn.

"Oh, a fly entered my trap." She moved her gaze to people floating on the sea with bubbling mouths.

The entire northwest of Sea God Island was full of hallucination gas. It's colorless, odorless, and tasteless, produced from Zhu Zhuyun's martial soul after receiving Yunlong's blood essence.

"Well, they should have checked the area." She chuckled while covering her mouth.

The East of Sea God Island.

Yu Ning'er stood on the sea surface with a thunder spear in her hand. She closed her eyes and sensed several Sun and Moon agents approaching her.

"Charge..."

She stabbed the spear into the ocean and electrocuted them to crisp with her golden lightning. "That's the second wave of them." She stared at the horizon.

"They are strong but not strong enough."

The South of Sea God Island.

Bai Xue vomited because Yu Ning'er teased her to oblivion last night and forced her to drink a few cups of alcohol.

"Kuuh... I shouldn't have told the young master the truth." She wiped her mouth. "Now that rat can tease me."

"Blergh..."

"Uugh."

Bai Xue slowly flicked her broom and heated the south seashore with a terrifying golden flame. The ocean becomes warmer because of it.

"Damn it." She didn't notice Sun and Moon's agents fainted on the sea.

The Northeast of Sea God Island.

Chu Yunxi breathed naturally and created dense icy windstorms in the area, repelling some incoming cannonballs.

She picked her martial soul and chanted, "Maelstrom."

A violent cold breeze swept over the northeast seashore and launched back the cannonballs at Sun and Moon's battleships.

"Hmm?" Chu Yunxi saw a familiar figure in the storm.

A man in his late thirties stood with an ice spear in his hand. He possessed a cold complexion with a pair of dangerous yellow eyes.

"I see... This trial is not a coincidence." She sneered indifferently.

"Yunxi, what are you doing here?" The man frowned at her.

Chu Yunxi pointed her staff at him and returned, "I should be the one who asked that."

"Why are you here, trash?"

"You're running from my house and spouting nonsense," The man activated his martial soul, manifesting enormous blue-scaled snakes.

"How dare you call me, your husband, trash."

Chu Yunxi shook her head and replied casually, "I don't have a husband anymore."

"He died a long time ago."

The Southwest of Sea God Island.

Zhu Zhuqing was facing a group of people at once and frowned because each one of these Sun and Moon's agents was at Soul Saint level.

Some even possessed a higher strength, equal or slightly inferior to Soul Douluo.

ROAR!

A terrifying golden bear claw suddenly flew to Zhu Zhuqing.

BOOM!

Admiral Kong stood on the ocean with one arm missing.

After receiving Yunlong's Pisces, he got injured with several fatal wounds.

Nonetheless, Admiral Kong still possessed a title douluo strength, alas weaker now.

'What is this feeling?" Zhu Zhuqing puffed her chest and coughed blood from her rosy lips.

"My body felt weird."

Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and pressed the scar on her left arm from Admiral Kong's attack.

"I'm angry?"

Dum! Dum! Dum!

Zhu Zhuqing's Hell Beast was furious because someone with a lower-class beast bloodline injured her host.

"...Hell Incarnation."

Zhu Zhuqing's right arm becomes monstrous with dark crimson fur and incredibly sharp claws.

ROAR!

A beastly roar escaped her mouth.

Admiral Kong stabilized his condition but suddenly was welcomed with an enormous dark claw on the face.

BOOM!

"Hell..." Zhu Zhuqing's left eye released an intense dark light.
