Ringwater's Great Counteroffensive

"Call--!"

The flames rose from the darkness, but were restrained and kept at a level that was neither fierce nor dazzling.

The remaining tents of that legion in the Moonfall Continent Southern Military Region were all burned to the ground.

The flames seemed to possess a consciousness.

It merely swallowed up the traces of their presence and behaved quite docilely.

Although it was frantically devouring the tents, it carefully avoided the surrounding flowers, plants, and trees.

The delicate flowers still swayed gently in the breeze, and the green leaves still shimmered in the moonlight.

It was as if the fire had never raged among them at all.

Then, the flames obediently flew back into the [Fire Thief]'s innate vessel.

Shisui tossed the [Fire Thief], which was glowing with fire, into his hand, fed it a crystal, and then put it back among Snow Spirit to keep it.

In just a few minutes, a Human Race legion was wiped out.

That's at least 30,000 high-level Profound Realm cultivators and hundreds of low-level Earth Realm, giving Shisui's little warehouse a huge boost in crystals.

However, "It's not enough."

The Ghoul's position in the food chain, coupled with its innate talent [Predator] and Shisui's own inherent qualities.

With each advancement in his cultivation level, his strength is destined to experience a qualitative leap.

This means that the Psychic Energy required for [Metamorphosis] will increase exponentially.

The amount of Flesh Crystals collected so far is barely enough to advance even a minor realm.

Moreover, what about breaking through the Earth Realm bottlenecks?

Relying solely on one's own harvest is absolutely insufficient to sustain the advancement in one's cultivation level.

Fortunately, the relationships between races in this world aren't very harmonious.

Through the Radiant Feathers, Shisui heard the sounds of flowing water, fighting, clashing swords and spears, and exploding firearms.

The sea monsters and the allied forces charged towards each other, like two ribbons rapidly approaching and about to merge at sea.

The silk was instantly stained with vibrant colors the moment the vanguards of the two armies clashed.

Puffs of blood mist exploded on the sea surface, scattering a red rain of flesh and bone fragments.

This scene was enough to terrify ordinary people of all ethnic groups.

However, this could not shake the morale of either side present.

The controlled sea monsters were fearless of death, and their numbers were several times that of the allied forces.

Therefore, at the very beginning of the battle, both sides briefly entered a stalemate of mutual attrition.

However, while their fearlessness could hold off the local garrison, they couldn't stop the allied forces, which consisted largely of Earth Realm Awakened.

Moreover, the soldiers in this hastily assembled army were all recruited from the front lines of the battlefield.

They may need to adjust to the new players at first, so slow down the frequency of their attacks.

But once they get used to their new companions, they become like harvesters, sweeping towards the enemy.

The swarming herd of sea monsters was being slowly pushed back by the allied forces.

With the reserve troops arriving later, they continuously built stone walls to prevent the water from receding, and the seawater, which had been stained red again, slowly retreated.

On the seabed, countless Radiant Feathers roam the dark waters, constantly feeding on the fresh flesh and blood brought by the war.

These flesh and blood, along with the free Psychic Energy, were gathered, filtered, compressed, and then crystallized and precipitated.

Finally, the crystals will be transferred to a small Alternate Space warehouse in Shisui's universe for safekeeping.

The fierce fighting between the two sides resulted in the corpses being torn to pieces, so the loss rate during the crystallization process was extremely high.

But the battlefield could supply raw materials just as quickly!

At this moment, this sea area is like a high-speed meat grinder.

Every second, no fewer than ten creatures—whether sea beasts, Human Race, or Demon Race— perish here, their bodies completely torn apart.

The Radiant Feathers only spent a little over two hours, which was the same amount of time it took for Shisui to intercept and kill the retreating army.

They had already collected nearly 100,000 Flesh Crystals.

Shisui was in a good mood. He sensed the crystals gradually piling up into a small mountain in the Alternate Space, and became more and more certain of one thing.

He wants to start a war, not a small-scale skirmish, but a real war that will result in mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

This way, he can easily gather enough food.

On Ruolan Star, nobody cares how many fallen soldiers are missing their corpses.

Each race will only ensure that these remains do not cause a plague; as for anything else, sorry, you'll have to pay extra.

Therefore, before he had the power to indiscriminately slaughter the city.

This is the fastest and most discreet way to obtain Flesh Crystals.

As for building your own team?

Don't be ridiculous, he worked himself to death managing his army and influence in his previous life.

In the end, it's still just a matter of facing the opponent's trump cards head-on.

He only has one brain, and he's not confident enough to think he can rival the staff of all races.

Increase your strength, then just sweep through and be done with it.

Having made up his mind, Shisui opened the Wormhole and disappeared into thin air once again.

After sending another batch of Radiant Feathers to the waters off Mao City, Shisui headed directly towards the Ringwater Continent.

He needed to arrange for Radiant Feathers, who diligently produced crystals, to be ready before the combined forces of the Human Race and Demon Race races took action.

Meanwhile, the Sea Race of Mao City are already under attack by the Human Race and probably won't be able to hold out for long.

A Sea Race soldier sacrificed an arm in the battle to repel the enemy.

Then, taking a couple of seconds to press the distress signal and some pre-prepared frontline intelligence, he pressed the button.

The next moment, he was beheaded by Human Race soldier who rushed in from the side, and died on the spot.

Sea Race risked their lives to buy time and relay messages to the rear were a common sight.

In fact, they had been sending messages back even before the battle began.

Therefore, the temporary command center of the Sea Race located deep in the Tianpiao Ocean had also applied for support early on.

However, the nearest herd of marine mammals on the edge of the Pacific Ocean has not responded at all.

"What's going on? Why is there no sound?"

"That shouldn't be! There are a million sea beasts in that seaweed forest, and at least 70% of them are mature individuals above the Profound Realm!"

Inside the command center, communications officers were frantically receiving the bad news and intelligence coming from the front lines.

All orders issued to the outside world went unanswered, and not a single sea creature responded.

In other words, without support for the front lines, Mao City will be captured.

"Chief of Staff, we can't delay any longer; the front lines can't hold them off any longer."

The chief of staff stood in the center of the command room, his face grave, and gave instructions to a communications officer during a break in the command.

"Report to the Third Prince, and dispatch another scout team to check on the situation at the seaweed forest."

"Go borrow troops from next door! We can't let Mao City fall!"

"Yes!"

The messenger accepted the order and immediately began contacting the Third Prince.

Before the communication could be established, a loud buzzing sound came from above.

No, not above, but the more distant Ringwater Continent.

As the sound rang out, an ominous premonition swept over me.

Before the communications officer could even process what this feeling was, the usually composed chief of staff let out a shrill roar.

"Underwater Psychic Energy guided weapon!"

"Boom--!"

The command center was instantly blown to pieces!

The allied forces of the two tribes fired the first shot in their counterattack against the Sea Race's territory at the Ringwater Continent.
