No one had expected that, one week after Yang Ming officially married, the first force to launch an offensive against the Heaven Dou Empire would come from the ocean.
In the world of the Douluo Continent, the ocean covered four times as much area as the land. So, although land soul beasts seemed numerous, sea soul beasts actually outnumbered them many times over.
