"Boom--!"

With a deafening roar, the surface of the Canglang Ocean suddenly seemed to be blown apart.

On the shore, a dozen or so sea creatures, each about 300 meters long, burst out of the water.

Despite their enormous size, they leaped directly into the air.

Then, their scale-covered bodies crashed into the lush, wall-like mangrove forest in front of them!

The towering waves, hundreds of meters high, also crashed heavily against the mangroves on the mudflats.

The mangroves in the front row all fell down, crashing onto the other mangroves behind them.

Immediately afterwards, the forest collapsed like dominoes, with a large section being knocked down by these giant sea monsters.

The mangrove forests in this area have been affected, with their stems and leaves broken to varying degrees.

However, the mangroves here have existed for at least several decades.

The tree roots are firmly embedded in the sand and silt of the shallow sea, and it will take some time to clear them all.

This bought time for the Human Race army.

The three legions that were lying in wait outside the mudflats reacted immediately.

Among them, the generals of the Third Army, responsible for artillery support, were the first to issue the orders.

"Psychic Energy Cannon Ammo Loading!"

"Aim!"

"Fire from the first rank!"

The first rank of the Third Army's Psychic Energy Cannons fired in unison, targeting the giant sea monsters wreaking havoc in the mangrove forests along the coast.

"Bang!"

"Roar--!"

After a series of synchronized cannon shots, the roars of the sea monsters rose and fell in waves.

The sea creatures that were hit cried out in pain, and dark blue fluid, almost the same color as their skin, oozed from their open wounds.

After the first round of fierce bombardment, the giant beasts' advance was successfully delayed for a moment.

The shelling had barely subsided when the first row of Psychic Energy Cannons entered their cooldown period, and the next order followed immediately.

"Second rank, fire!"

"Bang!"

The sound of cannons roared again.

Under the cover of intense artillery fire, the First and Second Armies dispersed into large three-man squads and charged toward the enemy in the mangroves.

Just as the Human Race army was planning to divide these sea beasts and defeat them one by one...

The sea began to churn again.

"Um?"

Shisui flew through the air, his senses, which had spread out, seemed to have suddenly collided with something and were bounced away.

He immediately adjusted his Ukaku, raising its hovering position with the help of the sea breeze.

This was just in case; he wanted to make sure he wouldn't be detected by the Sea Race legion's scanning equipment.

Just as he ascended to the highest point in the sky, the Sea Race fleet broke through the waters not far from the shore.

Along with them came tens of thousands of small and medium-sized marine mammals.

The next moment, the ship-mounted Psychic Energy Cannons, which had been prepared in advance, aimed at the enemy on the shore.

Reflection!

Shells grazed each other as they passed.

The Human Race third army's powerful artillery fire tore through the giant sea monster's scales.

Many sea creatures that were hit in vital areas such as the heart, neck, or head died instantly.

The Sea Race army's artillery barrage was equally fierce, with the first salvo shattering the protective net above the Third Army.

During the clash of Psychic Energy Cannons, the Human Race's lowest-ranking soldiers only encountered the Sea Race monsters that had just landed.

It's like two torrents of colors colliding, converging in the scarred mangrove forest.

Immediately afterwards, the smell of blood in the air suddenly intensified.

The fierce battle between the two sides completely tore apart the struggling mangrove forest, revealing the seawater and mud beneath the canopy.

Shisui observed from above with his Kakugan, witnessing the Canglang Ocean instantly transform from crystal clear to a deep, vibrant red.

In that instant, the entire coastal mudflats were covered with blood, flesh, and shattered bones.

At this moment, the Radiant Feathers hidden throughout the battlefield began to work.

A continuous stream of flesh essence and Psychic Energy was collected.

The two armies clashed in close combat.

Initially, the Human Race had a slight advantage due to their familiarity with the terrain.

But as the Sea Race fleet approached the shore, more and more sea monsters swarmed towards it.

They showed no fear whatsoever, fighting relentlessly against any enemy attempting to stop the Sea Race.

The corpses of the sea creatures were so numerous that they paved a flat road and covered part of the blood-soaked mud.

After laying down a barely passable surface, the Sea Race fleet finally reached the shore.

The ship's metal hull stretched out, and a wriggling, gelatinous substance oozed from its surface.

These warships, like slimes, crawled onto the land.

The moment they came ashore marked the beginning of an even more brutal battle of attack and defense.

On the other side, at the Spirit Resonance River Basin.

A large number of sea creatures rushed into the river channel against the surging river waters, and this vanguard quickly reached a certain point downstream.

Then, they split into two groups and landed at the same time.

The Left Army is responsible for Yin City, while the Right Army is responsible for the Lingyun River Rainforest.

"Enemy attack--!"

The alarm sounded the instant they emerged from the water.

The Human Race army retreated to the newly constructed trenches, made a final check on the Psychic Energy Cannons, and continued reloading ammunition.

Moments later, the roar of artillery fire echoed along both banks of the Spirit Resonance River.

Conversely, the Beastfolk army that remained behind quickly withdrew and disappeared into the dense rainforest.

Thanks to the intricate forest terrain, the Beastfolk were able to hunt small and medium-sized sea beasts with minimal casualties.

But would Shisui, who was waiting to reap the Flesh Crystals, agree?

In the rainforest, thin mists rose everywhere, enveloping the Sea Race army.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of Feather Powder in the air was absorbed into the bodies of these sea creatures.

"Bang!"

After the first one absorbed the Feather Powder, it was rapidly eroded by the Rc Cells, and then its internal Psychic Energy was forcibly activated, causing it to explode.

One, two... ten... a hundred...

Then, thousands of sea monsters exploded, almost leveling the outer edge of the rainforest.

This is uprooting the Beastfolk; they simply cannot stand idly by.

The Beastfolk immediately adjusted their tactics, taking the initiative to attack and kill the sea monsters that were about to explode.

As a result, many Beastfolk soldiers missed the opportunity to retreat.

The Sea Race fleet slowly emerged from the river, thus beginning the massacre targeting both banks of the Spirit Resonance River.

Shisui felt quite satisfied as he continuously collected energy from Radiant Feathers.

He distanced himself from the front lines of the battlefield, keeping his distance from the massive command ship that was the only one with a few Earth Realm.

Now is not the time to provoke it. Being outnumbered and confined to its Earth Realm will give many prey a chance to escape.

It would be better for him to advance to a more distant position first, reaching the Earth Realm Fourth Realm, to ensure a swift victory.

Thus, above the meat grinder-like battlefield, a biological cocoon was rapidly taking shape under the cover of Spatial Energy.

The Psychic Energy Barrier was not removed by Shisui, but was instead hung inside the outer shell of the biological cocoon.

The Psychic Energy fluctuations from the ascension were mostly masked by the spatial barrier and Rc Cells.

With the addition of the Psychic Energy Barrier, not a single trace will leak out.

Outside the battlefield, the monsters that will sway the course of the war are frantically reaping the spoils of war.
