A Visit, the Storm Approaches
Even after capturing the White Owl Arakawa Jiushu, there was still a long time before dawn.
Shisui, relying solely on Feather Powder and physical strength, approached the area where the Long-Life Elder was located at a steady pace.
To prevent his actions from being noticed by the Planetary Will.
He casually flipped through Arakawa Jiushu's Spatial Ring.
As an awakened being capable of manipulating Spatial Energy, Spatial Ring, a spatial attribute device in its early stages, is too easy to infiltrate.
It's like a locksmith encountering a safe locked with a regular padlock.
Picking the lock is a piece of cake.
It only activates a trace of Spatial Energy that the Feather Powder can completely conceal.
Shisui's consciousness did not stop, flowing smoothly into the Spatial Ring.
There wasn't much inside the ring.
There was only a Shisui- looking creature, some compressed rations and water, and a simple preservation device.
Shisui could tell from the smell of blood inside the device that this was probably where Arakawa Jiushu stored fresh "ingredients".
Clearly, Spatial Ring can only be used for storage at most, and cannot be divided into areas for different purposes like the Shisui and Alternate Space.
Of these few things, the only one that caught Shisui's attention was that creature.
Crimson threads and a swarm of writhing Insect Race.
This is clearly an Insect Hive.
"Oh dear," a wisp of Spatial Energy pinched the Insect Hive that was trying to send a message outwards, Shisui Ziju murmured with a hint of amusement, "This is quite a surprise."
He was just thinking about how to drag the Beast King into this mess.
It was 6:00 AM on June 14th, in the year 1042 of the Ruolan Star Calendar.
Sunlight shone through the clouds onto the sea, gilding the ripples stirred up by the gentle breeze with a silvery edge.
Deeper into the ocean, where the sun cannot reach, a small group of Sea Race soldiers escorted Yuanli toward the Moonfall Continent.
This force is different from the armies of the two sides that are still in a state of hostility.
They were Heaven Realm Awakened.
Therefore, even when they traversed the battlefield, no one could detect them except for high-ranking officers from both sides who were at the same Heaven Realm level.
The high-ranking officers, however, would ignore these uninvited guests because of the royal banners of the Sea Race.
The military has no spare capacity to provoke the royal guard, which includes several Heaven Realm Awakened.
Moreover, it's not even clear whether the Dragon King is watching them.
Even if those at the Heaven-Controlling Realm cannot act arbitrarily, annihilating them all would be a piece of cake.
Yuanli thus landed on the southern shore of the Moonfall Continent almost swaggeringly.
"Your Highness, what brings you here?"
The moment they landed, a Demon Race appeared silently a hundred meters ahead of the group.
Amidst the guards who surrounded and protected him, Yuanli's narrowed, blood-red vertical pupils met those of the Demon Race.
He secretly gestured for his guards to withdraw their ready-to-launch attack and instead remain on guard of their surroundings.
Given the opponent's strength, being able to suddenly appear not far from them meant they could also successfully assassinate him.
Therefore, their appearance now demonstrates the other party's attitude.
Yuanli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a polite smile used in public, and he spoke solemnly.
"I am the current Crown Prince of the Sea Race, and I have come here on the orders of His Majesty the Dragon King to pay a visit to that gentleman from the Demon Race Clan."
Upon hearing this, the Demon Race felt a chill run down his spine.
He immediately understood why Lord Jiqu had sent him to patrol the southern shore of the Moonfall Continent ahead of time.
He knew full well that the person who came was of noble status and was no ordinary person, so he had no intention of rashly leading the other party into the Moonfall Continent.
The Demon Race was finding the situation somewhat troublesome.
Nevertheless, the Demon Race did not reveal their inner impatience.
He maintained a gentle and polite demeanor, responding to the suddenly arriving enemy VIP with official jargon.
"I see. I apologize for not greeting you properly; I hope Your Crown Prince will not take offense."
At the same time, more Undying Cells surged within his body than those of ordinary Undying Legion soldiers.
Messages were transmitted to distant places via the Undying Cells.
A few seconds later, the command from the rear was transmitted back and quickly received by the Undying Cells within the Demon Race's body.
The order was largely in line with the Demon Race's suspicions: allow passage and ensure the safety of the Sea Race's Crown Prince.
Having received definitive instructions, the Demon Race felt more confident.
Immediately afterwards, he heard someone on the other side say, "May I ask if you can let me pass?"
Not intending to continue with polite formalities and delay, the Demon Race replied in a gentle tone.
"Then, Crown Prince Highness, please."
As the Demon Race's words fell, the group that had been standing still on the shore began to move again.
Following the Demon Race, Yuanli and his group sped deeper into the Moonfall Continent once again.
But Yuanli was getting closer and closer to the location that Shisui had set up for the start of the plan.
Jade Swallow Continent, at the ruins of Shen City.
The city, utterly destroyed by the Dragon Whisker, is now nothing but ruins and withered, dead vines.
Some surviving refugees, unable to reach other settlements, eke out a living here.
Every now and then, unintelligent, ordinary animals come here to forage.
There's not much of value here; the remaining dregs are just pitiful, abandoned remnants.
As soon as the Banshee Sea Demon arrived, a thick aura of death and resentment swept over them.
The chilling resentment formed a silent storm, sweeping across the pitch-black mist surrounding the resentful souls.
The Banshee Sea Demon adjusted the energy fluctuations within her soul to resonate with the resentment emanating from the outside world.
Then, the black mist that isolated the soul from the outside world was half-closed.
Instantly, dense resentment surged towards the soul of the Banshee Sea Demon, its sheer volume nearly bursting the vengeful spirit apart.
However, since its inception, it has visited the ruins of several settlements, dozens of small battlefields, and countless mass graves.
The vengeful spirits of today are no longer harmed by such an impact.
The soft soul perfectly inherited the shapeless nature of the Death Herald, allowing the resentment within to run rampant.
His absorption method was somewhat hasty, relying entirely on his already strengthened soul body to withstand the side effects.
Because he knew that he didn't have much time left to absorb energy.
Their plan will begin the instant the Sea Race Crown Prince arrives at his designated location.
The more energy you absorb and transform now, the higher your chances of winning when you clash with the Heaven-Controlling Realm.
However, the Banshee Sea Demon were unaware that it wasn't just their own soul that was drawing energy from their bodies.
And then there were the Shisui Rc Cells lurking within his soul.
On the other side, in the central part of the Lantiao Continent.
The Long-Life Elder, bound by cyan-gold chains, slumbers in the shackles of his soul.
Suddenly, a familiar scent began to spread through the forest on the wind.
The breeze gradually grew stronger, rustling through the dense leaves of the trees, creating a scene reminiscent of an impending storm.
