Late at night, Old Turtle brought two ocean overlords to the Imperial Shelter in Lingjiang City.
The two ocean overlords were a tiger shark, an apex predator, and a dragon serpent. Both were rare Calamity-tier beings with few equals, and they were at the mid-seventh-tier level.
There were countless sea creatures for them to devour, so they had advanced incredibly quickly.
"What did you say? Mu Yuxin was forcibly taken away by the Black Dragon Emperor?"
When Old Turtle heard from the elderly man and woman stationed at the shelter that Mu Yuxin had been taken by Gu Qijue, his face darkened at once.
"And there's more bad news."
The old man gave a bitter smile. "We humans can't unite..."
"Heh!"
Old Turtle was so angry he laughed. "I should've taken Mu Yuxin away when I had the chance. Now we don't even know if she's alive or dead... If she's dead, then we might as well wait to die, because only her power can destroy that Main Star-Sucking Tree. Apart from her, even the three seniors in the deep sea, powerful as they are, can't damage it in the slightest."
"Is the Black Dragon Emperor really that powerful? I'll go take him on!"
Beside them, the Dragon Serpent Emperor wore a black leather outfit. Little snakes flicked their tongues from his hair as he spoke with a hostile look in his eyes.
Even he only dared call himself a dragon serpent. That guy was actually called a black dragon, and it seriously rubbed him the wrong way.
"Let's go. Together!"
The Whale Shark Emperor gave a sly laugh, and he and the Dragon Serpent Emperor quickly disappeared into the night.
Old Turtle didn't stop them. Instead, he said to the old man and woman, "Your satellites can see what's happening over there, right? It wouldn't hurt to let those two test the Black Dragon Emperor's strength first."
The old man nodded. "They can. Come on, let's go to the Satellite Department!"
If Gu Qijue had trouble dealing with the Dragon Serpent Emperor and the Whale Shark Emperor, there'd be no need to summon the three powerful beings from the deep sea.
Three in the morning on the fourth day of the apocalypse. Yun City, Imperial Shelter.
The warehouse was piled high with Star Fruits.
Ji Shang, Zhu Hongyu, Meng Bao, the Scarlet Emperor, Xu Qing, Zhang Rui, and Situ Bao were all busily eating Star Fruit after Star Fruit.
Meng Bao and the Scarlet Emperor had both transformed into their true forms, allowing them to swallow many fruits at a time.
They'd already eaten a quarter of the hundred thousand Star Fruits.
"I feel like I'm about to break through to the seventh tier!"
Meng Bao was thrilled and swallowed four or five more in one gulp.
"Me too... This is amazing. Even better than riding a female gorilla..."
The Scarlet Emperor grabbed five or six and wolfed them down.
They wouldn't eat themselves to death.
Once the fruit pulp entered their stomachs, it turned into a warm current and didn't need to be digested.
Ji Shang ate one in a few bites and said, "I'm so jealous of you! I wish I had a few more mouths."
They needed several bites to finish one, while the others could swallow several at once...
Roar!
Before long, Meng Bao let out a mighty roar as a terrifying aura burst from within him.
"Hahaha! I'm seventh tier..."
Meng Bao laughed excitedly. He'd been at the peak of the sixth tier, and it had taken more than three thousand Star Fruits to break through the barrier to the seventh tier.
"I'm about to break through too..."
The Scarlet Emperor gulped down dozens of fruits, then let out a triumphant roar. He and Meng Bao had both entered the seventh tier.
"Congratulations!"
Ji Shang, Xu Qing, Zhu Hongyu, Zhang Rui, and Situ Bao all congratulated them with smiles.
"Come on, Scarlet Emperor. Let's go outside and have a fight!"
Meng Bao changed back into a human boy, rubbing his fists together as he looked at the Scarlet Emperor.
"Who's afraid of you?"
The Scarlet Emperor also transformed into a burly man, and the two went outside, each refusing to back down.
"Black Dragon Emperor, come out and meet your death!"
But just as they stepped out of the warehouse, a furious roar came from outside the shelter.
"Who's being so arrogant?"
"What nerve!"
"Come on, let's see!"
The Super Martial Artists in the shelter heard the shout and stormed out, heading for the wall where it had come from.
"Brother Ji Shang, you guys keep eating. The Scarlet Emperor and I will go see who dares come here and provoke us."
Meng Bao called into the warehouse, then raced with the Scarlet Emperor toward the wall outside the shelter.
By the time they arrived,
several hundred Super Martial Artists from the shelter were already there, glaring hostilely at two figures hovering hundreds of meters above the ground outside.
Anyone who could fly was clearly beyond their ability to fight.
But when they saw Meng Bao and the Scarlet Emperor arrive, everyone eagerly went forward to greet them.
Meng Bao and the Scarlet Emperor nodded to them, then fixed their eyes on the Dragon Serpent Emperor and Whale Shark Emperor hovering outside, looking down at them with mocking expressions.
"They're strong. They don't seem to be land creatures..." Meng Bao said, frowning slightly.
"Who gives a damn? One for each of us!"
The Scarlet Emperor was hot-tempered. He laughed and activated his electric field, a black, heavy staff appearing in his glowing palm. Then he charged ferociously toward the Dragon Serpent Emperor.
Boom! Boom! Boom—
But just then, a series of rumbles came from the distant earth.
They looked up.
A woman in a red dress leaped hundreds of meters into the air with ferocious force. After a few bounds, she had already reached the shelter.
The Scarlet Emperor, who had just charged out, was startled by the commotion she made and stopped in his tracks.
"You're here for a fight? I got here just in time..."
The newcomer was Huolin Nana. She glanced at the people inside the shelter and at the Scarlet Emperor, then turned her gaze to the Dragon Serpent Emperor and the Whale Shark Emperor.
"Who are you?"
The Scarlet Emperor watched Huolin Nana warily. He could feel a powerful pressure coming from the human woman.
Compared with her, the Dragon Serpent Emperor and the Whale Shark Emperor were like children next to a grown man.
Huolin Nana smiled and said, "I was invited by Mr. Gu. Are these two beasts here to cause trouble?"
The Scarlet Emperor nodded. "That's right. I was just about to deal with them."
"Good. Let me handle it! Consider it a greeting gift."
Huolin Nana gave a dangerous smile, then attacked with a BOOM!
She was astonishingly fierce.
She shot straight into the sky, appearing right in front of the Dragon Serpent Emperor in an instant.
Her flawless, crystalline fist smashed through the air.
BAM! She moved so fast that, in less than a second, in a flash, her fist had pierced the Dragon Serpent Emperor's chest.
Huh?
The Dragon Serpent Emperor only reacted then.
But it was already too late.
Huolin Nana's arm trembled.
SPLAT!
The Dragon Serpent Emperor's entire body burst apart like a watermelon, painting a gruesome scene.
An invisible force field around Huolin Nana stopped all the blood from splattering onto her.
"Hiss!!!"
The Whale Shark Emperor, nearby, was so terrified that he nearly pissed himself. He sucked in a sharp breath and turned to flee without a word.
"Don't go! I'm not done playing!"
Huolin Nana smiled faintly. The moment she landed, she charged again. The ground exploded with a BOOM!, and she appeared behind the fleeing Whale Shark Emperor, raising her long, snow-white leg to kick him apart.
This...
Huolin Nana's ferocity left everyone on the shelter wall with dry mouths, unable to say a word.
After finishing off the two little beasts, Huolin Nana clapped her hands. They weren't stained with blood, thanks to the invisible force field surrounding her.
She looked at the Scarlet Emperor and asked, "Where's Mr. Gu? Is he back yet?"
She'd made the journey on foot, and it had taken five hours. The three hundred subordinates traveling by combat helicopter would arrive at least several hours after her.
The Scarlet Emperor shook his head. "Boss Gu is outside the Star Tree in the city center right now."
"Good. I'll go find him. My three hundred or so subordinates will arrive in a few hours. Please receive them."
Huolin Nana left those words and went straight to find Gu Qijue.
She was extremely battle-hungry.
She couldn't wait to spar with Gu Qijue.
She wanted to see if he really was as powerful as they said.
