Demon Tide Incoming, Golden Flame Fire!

The fleet is on a northern patrol, heading north.

The further north they sailed, the colder the temperature became. Gradually, snowflakes began to fall, and small ice floes started to appear on the sea...

The warship, nearly a thousand feet long, resembled a terrifying sea monster in the sea fog...

Occasionally, it would collide with an iceberg, crushing it straight into dust; that was the mothership of the Qin Clan's Fourth Fleet...

Great Qin-04, the main warship!

Fourth-Tier super-large integrated warship, naval and air-based...

Built by the Great Qin Imperial Academy, it contains one main cannon and two auxiliary cannons, capable of drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to unleash a full-force attack comparable to that of a mid-to-late stage Golden Core cultivator...

The side panels are equipped with thirty heavy torpedo cannons!

By pre-charging the spirit-storing Law Treasure treasure, a high-powered lightning ball containing Lightning Dao energy can be released, which is effective against Dao Foundation cultivator...

It's basically a one-hit kill!

Meanwhile, a puppet engine room was installed on each of the left and right sides of the ship's cabin, in case of a naval battle or a landing operation...

The puppet cabin will then open, activating the puppet army within!

All of them are equipped with the Great Qin-06 Model, a comprehensive legionary puppet capable of underwater warfare and also adept at amphibious operations. Each puppet...

Comparable to Qi Condensation Middle Layers cultivator!

And each puppet cabin contains five hundred puppets...

Even the main warship of the Great Qin-04 has a small weapon-refining workshop inside, requiring only ten Rank-2 Artifact Refiner...

This allows for the continuous, mass production of magical Law Artifact and puppets!

It's practically a mobile sea fortress; the core area of the ship even houses dozens of magic array cores...

By manipulating the core of the formation.

It can be used in a multi-functional array, or it can be used to enhance a specific aspect, such as defense, attack, energy recharge, etc.

This is a unique technology of the Great Qin, developed by several fourth-rank and hundreds of Rank-3 Artifact Refiner, as well as many array masters, spirit builders, and painters...

And this is the symbol of the foundation of a powerful force!

The complete craftsmanship was acquired by the Qin Clan...

To accumulate technology for the future development of more advanced warships, the Qin Clan will continue to develop even more advanced weapons of war!

And behind the mothership—

It was a dense mass of warships of various colors, a dark, imposing sight, their black paint creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere...

at this time--

Qin Daoran sat in the cabin cultivating. As he continuously refined the crimson pearl within his body, his understanding of the Dao Rhyme became increasingly profound...

Immediately afterwards, a warm current flowed through my body!

He broke through the barrier effortlessly, advancing to the Qi Condensation Seventh Layer in one fell swoop. The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest obstruction...

There wasn't even that empty feeling of being forced to grow faster or achieve a forced improvement!

Qin Daoran opened his palm, and instantly a ball of golden flame burned and surged within it, emanating an aura of supreme yang and strength...

It's constantly transforming his physique!

Even his pupils subtly shifted from dark to golden-red...

"The Nether Fire is the most yin among fires and the most yang among souls."

"The path I have comprehended is the path of Yang Flame, the most Yang and extreme fire within fire, which is naturally contrary to the Soul Dao..."

"And the half-life flame of this precious pearl is a renowned and exotic spiritual fire: the Golden Flame Divine Fire!"

Qin Daoran filled with excitement. These past few days, he had put in a lot of effort and had finally achieved the initial refinement of the pearl, and had even made its accompanying spiritual flame work for him...

As for the precious pearl, it's like a Spirit Gathering Formation.

It can continuously transform Spiritual Qi into fire Spiritual Qi, thereby accelerating absorption, and gradually refining the treasure...

Qin Daoran felt that his cultivation speed was getting faster and faster!

At this moment, the initial refinement of the pearl is equivalent to adding three inches of spiritual light to its original form, comparable to a aptitude of four inches and two fen...

If it were completely refined, wouldn't its cultivation speed be comparable to those peerless prodigies with seven or eight inches of spiritual light?!

If that's true--

Let Dao Foundation Realm, even the Golden Core Realm might not be his final destination!

In the blink of an eye, a thought called ambition began to sprout in the heart of this unassuming young man who had always been unknown!

As the saying goes: If the enemy can go there, so can I!

Since fate has ordained him, why shouldn't he try to conquer all under heaven?

The gathering of three flowers at the top is but an illusion, and the soaring clouds beneath his feet are not real either. But today, he is favored by the Great Dao, and Heavenly Fate's mandate has been bestowed upon him. Therefore, he may not be unable to withstand this great trend...

Let us prove this great Dao!

Qin Daoran's mindset subtly shifted at this moment. Perhaps he had faded into obscurity, but his thoughts underwent a qualitative change...

The ambition and desires emanating from the Qin Clan bloodline are quietly awakening!

In just this short time--

The cabin suddenly jolted violently. Looking through the crystal porthole, countless enormous, dark shadows of beasts could be seen on the distant sea...

It's swimming beneath the surface of the sea!

Amidst the towering waves, the faint outline of a dragon could even be seen...

"Demon Beast?"

"It's a beast tide!"

Qin Daoran immediately reacted, and just as he stood up, the piercing alarm bell rang, followed by Qin Minghan's voice...

The sound immediately resounded throughout the entire Fourth Fleet!

"All personnel on high alert!"

"Everyone, do your job!"

"All Dao Foundation cultivator, ascend into the sky and fight alongside me!"

Upon hearing the instruction--

The Fourth Fleet immediately had a leader, and ten Third-Tier warships advanced, forming a semi-circular interception network in front of the Fourth-Tier mothership...

Then, the ten Tier Third-Tier warships, acting as key points in a formation, connected with the Fourth-Tier mothership, thus creating a massive defensive array...

Once the defensive formation is in place.

A full five hundred Second-Tier warships gradually filled the gaps in the formation, thus spreading out their firepower across the board, with countless naval cannons...

Pointing straight to the distant sea!

In the void, figures soared into the sky, twenty Foundation Dao Foundation cultivator taking up positions throughout the fleet, with the highest point...

It was Qin Minghan and Li Shan!

"We've encountered a beast tide before even entering the Northern Nether Sea..."

"Li Shan, can you sense the location of the Demon King?"

Upon hearing this—

Li Shan's eyes narrowed slightly, and his extremely sharp Sword Intent instantly pierced through the Vast Sea, as if trying to see through the great demon hidden within...

After merely glancing around, Li Shan's face darkened, and he said:

"Not found..."

"Within a radius of a thousand miles, there is no trace of any Demon King..."

"We were able to detect only about fifty Third-Tier great demons; the number of the remaining first and second-tier sea demons was extremely large..."

"It looks like a test."

Speaking of this--

Qin Minghan pondered for a moment, but didn't rush to make a move...

The ability to organize such a massive beast tide must mean the presence of Demon King, but the fact that it hasn't shown itself clearly indicates its fear of them...

Sending these low-level Demon Beast to block the road was simply a way to test their strength.

Having figured this out, Qin Minghan's lips curled into a slight smile. Things were getting increasingly interesting; it seemed a tough battle was inevitable...

"All troops, listen to my command!"

"All-around firepower strike!"
