Chapter 643: Chapter 370: All Suppressed and Killed
Boom boom boom!!!
Radiant platinum plummeted from the sky, like a celestial comet.
The vast sea surface compressed to the limit, eventually unable to withstand it, erupted into a towering water column.
Boom boom boom boom boom!!
The already fractured multi-masted ship could no longer hold, and the enormous Blood Sea Admiral’s fleet collapsed into splinters.
Sails shredded, flags fluttered.
Sailors and crew, or even low-level Sequences, all widened their eyes in horror, bleeding from their orifices, their bodies shattered.
Even those few who were lucky to survive could only watch helplessly as the gigantic monster approached closer.
Until.
Boom!!!
The platinum light finally fell, crashing into the sea.
Bang!!
The fleet was annihilated, the immensely powerful Ghost Blade Admiral exploded into scattered blood.
The sea turned gradually red, the splinters dyed with blood.
In the distance, the Blood Sea Admiral’s body trembled, his octopus-like face filled with horror, frozen in place, eyes wide open.
In his shocked and angry gaze, the seawater sank to an extreme level, almost creating a vacuum zone.
The large fleet disappeared, revealing the gray-black sea mud below, with shattered algae and seaweed, and the blood splattering like rainfall.
The platinum-colored winged Giant Statue hovered over the sea, wearing a crown crafted from crystal and gold, majestically overseeing.
A black-haired youth in a black coat stood on its shoulder, gazing indifferently.
All the blood rain rapidly evaporated into a blood mist.
A powerful Saint just died this way, almost instantly?
In an instant, he shivered inside.
The Blood Sea Admiral was terrified to the extreme, pale with trembling.
He no longer considered anything else, only wanted to escape immediately, regardless of breaking the deal with the Half-Shark Clan.
Bang!!
The blood and flesh exploded, the Fake Saint’s Blood Sea Admiral voluntarily self-destructed.
Shredded blood and flesh fell into the sea, seemingly dead.
But.
"A little trick from the Crimson Series?"
Chen Feng squinted, clearly sensing the remaining life.
The blood chunks that fell into the sea seemed alive, drilling into the mud, hiding everywhere, or eroding and controlling other small marine creatures, quickly fleeing from here.
Boom!!
The rock-carved right fist suddenly struck, hitting the ocean from afar.
Everyone felt a tremor underfoot, even sand on the distant island trembled.
The next moment.
Crash!!
Seawater surged again, violently pushing to both sides.
A several hundred-meter vacuum zone appeared again, revealing the gray-black mud and green seaweed below.
Fish and shrimp struggled, and blood chunks wriggled.
But soon.
A flash of golden light, the punch mark finally descended.
Boom!!
A huge pit appeared in the sea mud, the most primitive and violent force poured out all around, almost creating a marine gorge.
All hiding, escaping life completely vanished, everyone in the distance turned pale, shocked and stiff.
Indifferently perceiving all this, Chen Feng did not strike again.
The vacuumed seawater below finally lost the mountain-like pressure, starting to slowly fill.
The pit was covered, the blood scattered.
Boom!
The cubic water cage in mid-air shattered, restoring movement to Jia Ta who returned to the ocean.
Splash.
The seawater rippled, waves rising.
The nearly twenty-meter octopus body froze in place, its dark blue eyes rolling, a human-like shock flashing.
When did that big guy become so strong?
"L-Lord."
The rescued Lei Long finally regained his senses, his flushed face filled with shock and excitement.
Not far away, Della nearly doubted she was hallucinating, the surrounding mermaids also had stiff, dazed expressions.
For a moment, though the sea had waves.
The ocean was unusually quiet, the sound of heartbeat and breath audible.
....
...
Splash.
Over ten minutes later, seawater churned.
All blood residue sank to the seabed, mingled with gray-black sea mud.
Every pirate in the attacking group was buried here, and once symbolizing peace and harmony, Fishman Bay now swallowed many lives like a grave.
Scattered wood shards and the destroyed fleet sank, and the crisis that the Mermaid Clan saw as life and death ended simply.
Shock, awe, admiration.....
Various emotions from different sources, Chen Feng leaped down from the Holy Shield Giant’s shoulder, landing on the white-gray sand.
After leaving Hurricane Island, he rushed straight here.
Overall, it was timely, not too late.
He then steadied his steps.
The panel flashed briefly, the weak nourishment not worth mentioning.
On the contrary, Della, coming back to her senses and questioning for answers and guesses, somewhat surprised him.
"Thank you, Lord, for saving my clan."
"According to what those pirates just said, Ghost Blade Admiral and Blood Sea Admiral have reached some sort of deal with the Half-Shark Clan."
"They came here to enslave our Mermaid Clan, making us vassals of the Fishman Tribe."
Della’s expression changed, her tone complex.
There was both lingering shock and sincere gratitude, astonished at the man’s rapid rank advancement, grateful for his aid again.
At the same time, there was worry and bafflement about the Mermaid Clan’s future.
The Fishman Clan’s pressure came quicker than she imagined, and if Lord Feng Chen hadn’t arrived in time, it might have been a disaster.
Numerous thoughts churned in her mind, she fell into silence and dilemma.
Seeing this, Chen Feng’s gaze flickered, but he did not say much.
Just sensing movement, he turned his head slightly, looking at Jia Ta swimming over the sea.
A huge body of full twenty meters, visibly growing another segment.
Its aura reached the Fake Sixth Order level, quicker progress than he expected.
"Sa!"
Dark blue tentacles cautiously extended, Chen Feng gently raised his hand to stroke, meeting those giant dark blue eyes.
The Soul Fire’s link let him clearly know Jia Ta’s memories during this time, without any major surprises.
Just methodically hunting sea beasts, devouring and growing.
The time until the maturity phase was drawing closer, and it had awakened certain bloodline talents.
The ability to control water flow was enhanced again, gaining significant amplification in the ocean, with a strong affinity for water elements.
Additionally, it received a boost in its devouring effect.
"Devour Sea Beast Life Essence to accelerate growth?"
"Moreover, if a large number of oceanic creatures are devoured, it can accumulate essence marks, perhaps breaking through bloodline shackles?"
Somewhat unexpectedly, Chen Feng once again sensed Jia Ta’s extraordinary bloodline, living up to the panel’s description of its origins.
[Deep Sea Creature: One of the rulers of the deep sea, a special Star Realm creature]
He suspected that at this rate, even becoming a Saint might not be Jia Ta’s limit?
"Sha!!"
Jia Ta waved its tentacles, making a sound as if to prove it still had its uses.
Then, it swam to the side of the Holy Shield Giant, extending a tentacle and offering a gold coin to it, as if treating it as an older brother.
This scene made Chen Feng smile wryly, and finally, he looked toward Lei Long and the others.
"My lord!"
Lei Long spoke respectfully, his brown jacket somewhat tattered and charred, his face a little pale, clearly having suffered some injuries.
Trin and others also came forward, speaking excitedly, addressing him with respect, while offering the two boxes of rewards from the Mermaid Clan, as well as various treasures salvaged near the pirate fleet.
There was gold and silver jewelry, but most of it didn’t interest Chen Feng much.
Instead, there were two extraordinary items among them, one resembling a scarlet hand, the other a silver crescent scimitar.
The panel displayed various information corresponding to them, and Chen Feng nodded and took a glance.
"Well done."
He only accepted the Blue Heart Stone and the extraordinary items.
As for the other treasures, he showed no interest and signaled them to distribute and handle them by themselves.
"Thank you, my lord!!"
Lei Long and the others were extremely grateful, feeling that following him was the greatest opportunity and honor of their lives.
Soon, witnessing them treating and bandaging the injured, Chen Feng looked down at the spoils in hand.
He temporarily stored away the two extraordinary items, as the Blue Heart Stone was what concerned him at the moment.
Instantly, Steel Bone activated.
[Metal Essence +1!]
[Metal Essence +1!]
[Metal Essence +1!]
The cracking sound quietly echoed, and the thirty Blue Heart Stones were quickly drained of all essence, leaving only gray fragments.
[Steel Bone Level 5: 97/100]
"Just a little more."
Glancing at the progress, Chen Feng wasn’t surprised.
This could only mean the number of Blue Heart Stones wasn’t enough.
"In fact, our clan still has nearly a hundred Blue Heart Stones."
"If Lord Feng Chen requires, I can fetch them for you."
Della suddenly spoke, having already noticed his great need for the item.
Though only able to pick up a small number of Blue Heart Stones near the seabed cliffs each time, over time, their clan indeed accumulated some, stored in their treasury.
Looking at her deeply, Chen Feng knew the previous scene had left a massive impact on her.
It was power exceeding a Saint’s might, something the Mermaid Clan found hard to comprehend.
Not to mention, they were still in a crisis.
"Speak, what are your terms?"
After trading for a long time, they had developed somewhat of a favorable relationship, so Chen Feng was willing to show respect.
"I dare not ask for terms."
"If it weren’t for Lord Feng Chen’s assistance this time, my Mermaid Clan might have long fallen to slavery."
Della said with a bitter smile, her tone sincerely grateful.
Chen Feng was a bit surprised, then saw her speak again.
"If my lord doesn’t mind, please come to our clan’s territory for a brief stay."
Della politely invited him, and one could see the surrounding sea surface roiling with waves.
A large coral chariot drawn by several adult-sized sea horses appeared, along with many merfolk casting grateful glances, ready to lead the way.
Seeing this, Chen Feng pondered for a moment, not refusing.
.....
"Youren, that guy, actually died?"
In the dark seabed, dark reefs stood like mountains.
An ominous voice suddenly echoed, tinged with suspicion.
If one looked closely, they could see a massive crack running across the seabed, tearing open the reef mountain and the soil below into a giant chasm.
It looked like an enormous wound exclusive to the ocean.
Unable to heal, it occasionally emitted black gas from within.
"He was truly a Saint, how could the Mermaid Clan possess such power?"
The space within the seabed fissure was vast, resembling a gorge.
Someone queried in confusion, but soon received a confirmatory response.
It was a shattered black crystal, with its Soul Fire extinguished.
"It was a miscalculation!"
"Could it be the Mermaid Clan has powers and depths unknown to us?"
The water within the fissure gorge rippled continuously, as if representing the speaker’s restless heart.
Unless the gap was overwhelmingly huge, no one could easily kill a Saint.
"What about that Blood Sea guy?"
"He journeyed with Youren, with especially secretive escape methods, it’s impossible he’s also..."
"Also dead."
The previous ominous voice echoed again, under the gaze lay another black crystal with an extinguished Soul Fire.
The atmosphere inside the fissure gorge turned eerily silent, until after a few moments, a voice broke the silence again.
"I knew these humans were unreliable, all a bunch of worthless beings."
"What a waste of our efforts...."
Someone grumbled, but was quickly interrupted by another voice.
"The Mermaid Clan has a long heritage, having survived numerous disasters and remaining immortal."
"Their ancestors also produced several Saints, even following Angels alongside us, it’s normal to have unknown depths."
The voice carried comfort, while affirming: "However, such depths surely cannot be easily used, and the price must be significant."
"Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so passive, even not daring to easily leave their territory."
"Makes sense."
A voice of agreement spoke, then someone asked what should be done next.
"Recently, to meet the Upper Envoy’s demands, we’ve been raiding fleets on the sea surface, attracting the Church’s attention."
"By estimating the time, soon it will be the critical period of the sealing node, with tides about to erupt. Church members will definitely appear, coming to our territory...."
"Let’s wait a bit longer, wait until this matter fully passes, then completely resolve the Mermaid Clan."
As the words fell, the atmosphere within the fissure gorge returned to darkness and silence.
Some opposed, but they remained the minority.
In the end, the gorge returned to a state of eerie quiet.
In the gurgle of water bubbles, only wisps of black gas floated upward and dispersed, like a layer of mist.
