Ch. 757Sea Water

After sealing the eight Sea Beast Kings, Zhao Fu discovered that the Fish Scale Clan was flooding the human world with seawater as an extermination plan. He and the others reached the rift but found a billion Fish Scale Clan members defending the magic formations, while the Earth Realm Mark still could not grant Zhao Fu the power to stop them.

  • Zhao Fu celebrated gaining enough invasion points to reach halfway toward exchanging for a capital city, though Great Qin had lost half its fortune.

Humanity united to build defenses and coordinate forces, but more than four hundred regions were submerged as the Fish Scale Clan began infiltrating the flooded territory.

  • Fish Scale Clan members dismissed Zhao Fu’s group and discussed their plans to conquer the human world and exploit its people.

  • Zhao Fu arrived at the meeting, where the humans agreed to build a second dam and debated how to break the Fish Scale Clan's barrier.
  • Fish Scale scouts found the place where the eight Sea Beast Kings were sealed, and several inheritors went to investigate.

  • As the water rose and the human forces' resolve weakened, both sides decided that humanity had to attack the rift.
  • The human fleet set out for the rift, but Fish Scale Clan members attacked from underwater, shooting arrows at the soldiers and damaging the ships.

Ch. 761Great Battle

Human forces battled the Fish Scale Clan underwater, where the clan’s superior aquatic movement and cavalry inflicted staggering losses. The humans formed a shield wall and used arrows to halt the cavalry’s charge, easing the pressure as the battle continued.

  • The larger Fish Scale force overwhelmed the human defenders until Fish Scale soldiers began dying from poison in the water.
  • A Fish Scale City Lord identified the poison, but the soldiers could not resist it or escape the water, and one and a half billion died.
  • Zhao Fu arrived with several thousand City Lords and poured more poison into the water, revealing that the Southern Alliance had lured the Fish Scale Clan into a prepared trap.
  • The poison killed all but three hundred million Fish Scale people, and their City Lords abandoned the survivors and attempted to flee.
  • Human City Lords charged after the Fish Scale City Lords, and Zhao Fu transformed into a streak of light and joined the pursuit.

Ch. 765Spoils of War

Ch. 767Capital City Stone

  • Golden Dragon explained that ruined City Lord Seals could become special equipment or be fused into beasts, so Zhao Fu offered to buy them from other City Lords.
  • Arthur Tina, Geluofei, and Zhen Yi gave Zhao Fu City Lord Seals, while he paid them gold; he collected 3,500 seals in total and refused to force the remaining City Lords to trade.
  • After the Fish Scale Clan invasion ended, Zhao Fu returned to Great Qin and exchanged for a golden Capital City Stone.
  • Zhao Fu considered making Bai Qi or Tuoba Qing the capital city's City Lord, but Golden Dragon urged him to wait for the Wild Blood Mask's restoration and said Bai Qi was the better choice.
  • Golden Dragon advised Zhao Fu to fuse the Seven Killings Stele with the Capital City Stone for Bai Qi, and Zhao Fu began the fusion as the two objects' lights resisted each other.

Ch. 768Ferocious Beast

  • Zhao Fu kept the remaining 2,160 City Lord Seals for future Wyverns and corpse soul commanders rather than using them on ordinary corpse soul guards.
  • Poisonous water drained from the dam into the Fish Scale World, forming a vast ice island and leaving more than four hundred regions barren and toxic.
  • Zhao Fu grasped the black spear and entered the God-Locking Space, where the eight chained Sea Beast Kings struggled and roared at him.

Ch. 770Eight Sea Beasts

Zhao Fu tortured the eight Sea Beast Kings in an attempt to force them to submit, then abandoned the idea of invading the Fish Scale World with Great Qin. He later entered the Fish Scale World alone to scout its system main cities for a planned surprise raid.

  • Zhao Fu demanded that the eight chained Sea Beast Kings submit, but several refused while others offered promises and swallowed City-Building Stones in exchange for release.
  • Zhao Fu activated a magic formation that tormented the eight Sea Beast Kings with lightning, fire, wind, ice, and metal needles, then warned that he would repeat the punishment daily.

  • Zhao Fu killed Fish Scale city lords, relocated their cities, and destroyed seven System Main Cities across three regions before fleeing when dangerous auras approached.

  • Akhenaten learned that an unknown human force had destroyed twenty-seven Fish Scale regions, and he realized Great Qin was responsible.

Ch. 772Golden Eyeball

Zhao Fu reviewed Great Qin’s spoils and decided Peacock City would become its next Capital City. After reshaping the Crown of Kings into a golden eyeball and fusing it with his left eye, he gained the God-Locking Beast’s power, though the eye became permanently altered.

  • Zhao Fu decided not to use the Initial Potions on the eighty-five Fish Scale Clan system main cities and instead planned to cultivate Fish Scale Clan members for Great Qin’s future navy.

Ch. 773Level 4 Capital City

Zhao Fu used the invasion rewards to strengthen Great Qin and bring Great Qin City to Level 4 Capital City, leaving it two upgrades away from becoming a royal city. Back in the real world, he rescued his former teacher Dong Suzhen from men at South Lake Hotel and reassured her as she arrived shaken and injured.

  • Zhao Fu found that the exchange monument no longer allowed him to exchange for a capital city, so he chose the Ten Thousand Blood Divine Stone over the Dragon-Shooting Ballista blueprint.
  • Zhao Fu placed the stone in the Corpse Soul Blood Pool, allowing it to nurture one hundred Corpse Soul Guards and five Corpse soul commanders each day.
  • Conquering eighty-five system main cities gave Great Qin City enough experience to become a Level 4 Capital City, two levels short of a royal city.
  • Zhao Fu tested whether Fish Scale natives could live underwater, then gave them system main cities to rebuild beneath the water.
  • Zhao Fu received a distressed call from Dong Suzhen at South Lake Hotel and sent people to rescue her.
  • Dong Suzhen arrived with Zhao Fu's bodyguards, tearful and injured, and Zhao Fu reassured her that she was safe.

Ch. 774Nan Shi

Zhao Fu spared Young Master Xiao and the six men who had followed him after Dong Suzhen asked him to lock them up instead of killing them. Zhang Hongmei failed to secure her son's release, and the chapter ended with her warning him in the dungeon to stop causing trouble.

  • Zhao Fu learned that the Spirit Light God Clan had forcibly opened a World Gate and invaded Demon Profound World's Demon North Continent.

Ch. 776Power of the Night Dynasty

Zhao Fu weighed the Spirit Light God Clan’s invasion of the Demon Profound World against opportunities to gain benefits, while deciding not to sacrifice the Night Dynasty’s royal city for a capital city. As Ye Cang, he prepared to act amid the conflict and concealed his possession from Demon Enchantress.

  • The Spirit Light God Clan opened a thousand golden world gates and slaughtered every living creature across more than a hundred regions of the Demon North Continent before retreating to guard the gates.
  • The Demon Profound World activated an invasion-point event, and Zhao Fu noticed that its Turbulent Times Stele offered a capital city in exchange for an enormous number of points.
  • Zhao Fu decided that upgrading the Night Dynasty’s royal city would waste the greater value of its population and troops, and planned to exploit the war between the two clans instead.
  • Ye Cang became king of the Night Dynasty, gained the Demon Night Physique and Night Art, and awakened a King profession through Zhao Fu’s blood essence.
  • Demon Enchantress asked Ye Cang whether his master had returned, and Zhao Fu, controlling Ye Cang, told her he was busy and could not come back yet.
