For a long time, the relationship between Qi Country and Diao Hai Lou, located in the nearby archipelago, has been one of both competition and cooperation.

Facing the Sea Race, they have worked together shoulder to shoulder in the Maze World. Amongst themselves, they have contended for dominance in the nearby seas.

Diao Hai Lou’s advantage lies in its history, in its ancestors fishing in the nearby seas from ancient times until the beginning of the new calendar era. It lies in the fact that for thousands of years, they have always stood before the Maze World, becoming a concrete symbol of resistance against the Sea Race.

The only entity comparable to Diao Hai Lou in this regard is Yang Valley, which does not count sacrifices and is more desperate than anyone else. Wearing the residual glory of the former Great Yang Empire, it represents a spirit of defending the sea border to the death. And Qi Country’s advantage lies in its power. And its increasing power.

The so-called legacy of the Great Yang Empire, the once magnificent “Sunrise Nine Countries,” has either been turned into smoke in war or offered tribute and declared subservience. No matter how great that former Great Intestine Empire was, all traces have been wiped away.

Today, the flag that shines in the East Domain is the Purple Micro Midheaven Supreme Emperor Flag of the Great Qi Empire.

Especially in recent years, having conquered Yang and destroyed Xia, they have already swallowed ten thousand li in one gulp! With both name and reality matching, they can truly grasp the world in their fist.

Qi Country has long since freed up its hands, so why has it endured so much, limiting the struggle for hegemony in the nearby seas within the framework of the Zhen Hai Alliance assembled by Wei Xun?

Except based on global thinking, except wanting to win over more sea people, it probably also lies in that Diao Long Ke, who is unknown whether he still exists, and who once fished a thousand ancients with a single rod!

If Wei Xun, with the honor of a True Monarch, was willing to adventure with Qi Xiao, even wanting to lead away two Emperor Lords before his death, it was an embodiment of the pattern of absolute peak powerhouses.

Then Qi Tianzi’s promise of support to Diao Long Ke demonstrates even greater breadth of mind. By his side, he actually allowed someone to transcend!

If Diao Long Ke once stepped out the last step and truly achieved transcendence, Diao Hai Lou’s position in the nearby archipelago would be unshakable. Qi Country would also forever lose the possibility of unifying the nearby seas. If it weren’t for the overall situation of the human race, why would Qi Tianzi make such a choice?

When Diao Long Ke stepped towards transcendence on Tianya Tai, the Qi people sat and watched, which was already support. At this moment, with the national decree delivered and the imperial edict adding its weight, it is, of course, even more support!

Given today’s world pattern.

Qi Country dominates the East Domain, and having annexed South Xia, its national power has already accumulated to a historical peak, and will not be inferior to that of the Great Yang Empire of yesteryear. Or rather, after Jiang Shu sat on that dragon throne… every year of the Yuan Feng era, Qi Country has reached a new peak.

With such national power adding its weight, Xuan Yuan Shuo’s fishing rod is already an unbreakable peak supporting the heavens.

At this time, in the Maze World, the vast sea, and the nearby seas, three terrifying powerhouses infinitely close to transcendence contend in three spatial locations, and the intersection point of their power lies in that ‘fish hook’, that bright moon in the round sky dome.

If Gao Ji successfully unhooks, supporting the Sea Race in completing the final leap, he will immediately step out the last step and achieve great success.

If Gao Ji dies, the Sea Race’s leap will fail, and Diao Long Ke Xuan Yuan Shuo will also immediately achieve transcendence.

Only Tianfu Elder Ji Lan Xian, the former body of Fu Hai, although having re-ascended to the absolute peak and possessing the eye realm of someone who once approached transcendence, has not temporarily shown the possibility of transcendence.

At this moment, the three of them contend in the bright moon, reaching a stalemate for a time.

Could the key to breaking the situation still lie in the victory or defeat of the several Sea Race Emperor Lords and Human Race True Monarchs?

Of course not!

Moreover, even if Zhong Xi and the others are already spent forces and fundamentally unable to contend with the Human Race True Monarchs, Ji Lan Xian himself will never place his hope in the hands of others!

It was the same when he explored the path to transcendence in the past, and it was the same when he was initially forced into a life-and-death battle by Xuan Yuan Shuo.

Abandoning his Dao body was not an easy decision, and walking towards the absolute peak with a human body was even more like walking on thin ice.

But he always firmly believed that the future was in his grasp!

His great contributions on Xian Shi Dao, his dazzling talent in spell creation, his cold cruelty or tolerance or greatness… the Fu Hai in the eyes of myriad beings depicts not one ten-thousandth of him.

Gao Ji always holds up the race group, unwilling to let go. This is precisely the reason he is being fished by Xuan Yuan Shuo, and also his fundamental difficulty in resisting.

Ji Lan Xian does not hope that Gao Ji will continue to exert force. Because Gao Ji holds up not only the future of the Sea Race, but also his possibility of transcendence, and will absolutely not let go easily.

And he also understands Xuan Yuan Shuo very well, or rather, he is already the person in this world who understands Xuan Yuan Shuo the most, just as Xuan Yuan Shuo understands him the most in today’s world! Xuan Yuan Shuo understands him very well, and even while fishing Gao Ji, he still guarded against him, who had been dead for thousands of years. Xuan Yuan Shuo’s heart holds an indissipable hatred. He was unable to succeed three thousand eight hundred years ago, and will take ‘Diao Long Ke’ as his title, specifically to slaughter dragons.

But what of hatred?

That year, Xuan Yuan Shuo fished for dragons with a single rod, killing too many dragon race, oppressing his Dao heart, forcing him to make a move. This led to that life-and-death decisive battle without certainty. It caused his path to transcendence, which was originally ten to nine certain, to be hard pushed back to now.

How could he not have hatred towards Xuan Yuan Shuo!

At this moment, he is bound on the crescent moon, his body in a cocoon, and his voice outside the cocoon—’Fu Hai East Come!’

Boom boom!

Heaven and earth shook, the Maze World trembled.

Those below Dong Zhen were difficult to know, but those above Dong Zhen were all aware.

From the depths of that East Sea Dragon Palace, a crystal palace jumped out. Illuminated by moonlight, it appeared before the eyes of all beings.

Crystal clear, beautiful beyond words. Extremely beautiful, with carvings like makeup. At a certain moment, this crystal palace suddenly exploded, and from it a venerable dragon body advanced!

Baring its teeth and brandishing its claws, a dragon roar echoed in all directions, actually chasing the moon and coming.

This dragon’s whiskers and tail were all complete, its scales and claws flowed with glory, its eyes like red agate, its horns like coral clusters!

It possessed an incomparably powerful physical aura, but its essence was not residing in a soul. Wherever it passed, Dao principles rippled like water patterns!

On Tianya Tai, Xuan Yuan Shuo sighed for a long time, as if waking up from a great dream: “So this is your Dao!”

The human body named Ji Lan Xian, still contending with the Dao principle fishing line, constantly unraveling and binding, but his voice was steady, fully demonstrating his composure: “Xuan Yuan Shuo, you think you are invincible below transcendence, pursuing me relentlessly, yet you don’t know how much preparation I have made to fight with you!”

“Raising in the Dragon Palace and borrowing Dao from the Middle Ancient era is indeed an extraordinary conception.” Xuan Yuan Shuo’s voice also slowed: “That decisive battle that year, why was it delayed for several decades? Was it because you were preparing this Dao body?”

“You forced me to do so!” Ji Lan Xian shook his head and laughed self-mockingly: “Ha… I didn’t expect to wait for so many years. In the past, a hundred boats contended for the flow, and now only you and I are left.”

The human body and the dragon body corresponded, stemming from the same source, tracing back to the power of the great echoed, making his whole body shine, making him expose his head from that Dao principle cocoon, his black hair suddenly flying: “Let you and I… come to end all this!”

From being intimately close to a life-and-death struggle, until being driven to a harsh environment like the vast sea to suffer hardship. The hatred between the Sea Race and the Human Race, especially, surpassed all others. It could be called a racial great enemy, an eternal enmity, where seeing each other meant dividing life and death. For a very long time, the Sea Race regarded human civilization as the source of ten thousand evils, believing that the human body flowed with the dirtiest and most poisonous blood, and even a piece of cloth would pollute the vast sea.

This was solidification of hatred, and also the need to help the Sea Race quickly adapt to life in the vast sea and condense racial confidence. But in fact, it also confined the thoughts of many Sea Race talents.

And Fu Hai, when he was still very weak, already had his own thinking. He thought that the Human Race, being able to drive the Sea Race to the vast sea and become the victor of the Middle Ancient war, must have its superior aspects. To defeat an opponent, one must understand the opponent.

Hence, he abandoned racial prejudice and learned Dao from the Human Race… even finally, wanting to become a Human Race!

He not only wanted to become a true human, but also needed a human body talent sufficient to match his Fu Hai Emperor Lord Dao body.

Because this was the unique path to transcendence he saw in his hard pursuit of Dao.

He needed to penetrate the learning of both the Human Race and the Sea Race, fuse the bodies of both the Human Race and the Sea Race, grasp the fate of two generations of world masters, have both bodies become absolute peak, and let the two Daos merge and advance, infinitely colliding and sublimating. With this, he would take another step beyond the superhuman absolute peak and establish transcendence!

But becoming a Human Race, how easy is that? The source sea is hard to measure, not only for Emperor Lords.

To do this, his layout was not just three thousand eight hundred years! Moreover, let’s not mention how he obtained a human body before being forced to his death by Xuan Yuan Shuo.

Just say that after activating this body of Ji Lan Xian, the effort he put in cannot be described in just a few words.

For example, the historical great event of the destruction of Yang Country.

Participating in the collapse of the Heaven Construct Wood was not just the work of one place’s insects. Yang Country, from extreme prosperity, walked towards dissipation like smoke. Of course, one cannot attribute it all to one person. But he, as a member of the Ji surname imperial clan, indeed made a not insignificant contribution… finally also plundering sufficient rich provisions to lay the foundation for deriving Dao.

For example, in order to make himself a more perfect human race and gain more human race recognition, he painstakingly created war records, propagated momentum, and only left the name ‘Tianfu’. Before him, divine powers, a power greatly related to talent, would not be held in the highest regard. After him, the human race’s emphasis on divine powers reached a fanatical degree.

For example, how he completely peeled off the Mirror Flower Water Moon, making it receive a seed and transform into the Tianfu secret realm.

For example, how long he waited thereafter for Zhu Su Yao and Zhu Bi Qiong, this pair of twin Mirror Flowers…

Including letting Zhu Bi Qiong return to Diao Hai Lou, to further understand Xuan Yuan Shuo by understanding everything Xuan Yuan Shuo left behind…

And how could Xuan Yuan Shuo see all of this?

Xuan Yuan Shuo was on guard against him, but what he wanted to say was that this level of guard was still far from enough!

Xuan Yuan Shuo was unclear whether there was any aftermath after his death that year. As the one who was killed, he always knew that Xuan Yuan Shuo was still alive. For today, how many years of preparation had he made!

He always waited. He waited until Xuan Yuan Shuo fished Gao Ji, and then he would step onto the moon hook. He waited until the Qi Country’s national decree was issued, and then he would summon the dragon body.

Gao Ji plotted the race group’s leap, Xuan Yuan Shuo plotted Gao Ji, and he plotted Xuan Yuan Shuo.

Dying first in the former year, and with death, getting the first!

Now, he just wanted to step on Xuan Yuan Shuo’s moon hook, utilizing the great firelight collided from the transcendence paths of Xuan Yuan Shuo and Gao Ji, two venerables approaching transcendence powerhouses, to forge his own two Dao bodies and complete the fusion of his human body and dragon body.

Xuan Yuan Shuo was precisely the Human Race’s transcendence, Gao Ji was precisely the Sea Race’s transcendence, and he was now precisely at the intersection of the race fortunes of the Human Race and the Sea Race? There was no more suitable time, no more appropriate position.

He willingly went on the hook, precisely for this moment!

Heaven’s timing, earth’s advantage, everything was exhausted. The Mirror Flower Water Moon had already become true! The seemingly virtual, seemingly real power would divide the great battlefield again.

At this time, as Ji Lan Xian, his long-prepared dragon body just flew in, and in the bright moon, it reflected the former face of Fu Hai!

Rich in spirit and handsome, with boundless charm.

Xuan Yuan Shuo and Gao Ji’s transcendence paths were in a stalemate, and he would first prove his greatness. At that time, he would extinguish Xuan Yuan Shuo with a flip of his palm, and send Gao Ji on his way with a lift of his palm. The so-called great trend of the Human Race and the Sea Race would be just between his palm flips.

This was the intersection of three transcendence paths. That bright moon hung high, dazzling white and not allowing direct view, like suspending ten thousand worlds, like illuminating ancient and modern times.

At this moment, no matter Zhong Xi, Rui Chong, Xi Yang, Zhan Shou, or Cao Ji, Yue Jie, Zhu Sui, Yu Li Yang, Peng Chong Jian, it was very difficult to interfere with it again.

Because they stood at the absolute peak of this world, and these three paths were all above the absolute peak!

The Ji You realm where various Emperor Lords and True Monarchs were entangled connected on one side to the broken Saha Dragon Domain where mountains and rivers were broken, and on the other side to the border defense complete Fotu Pure Land. The other two boundary rivers connected to insignificant small places.

The confrontation of Dao-level powerhouses had almost washed this realm several times over. And this bright moon in the high sky shone in this place, yet was no longer in this place.

“Jiang Wang!” Cao Ji shouted angrily from the peak of Tai Yi Mountain.

This sound suddenly turned the nine heavens, it was the sound of Great Qi’s military horn. Vaguely, killing sounds arose from all directions, metal spears breaking formations, and the sound of flags fluttering!

The sound that awakened the spirit directly penetrated the ear.

That Jiang Wang who lay on the ground was still lying on the ground, his body had residual warmth, but his breathing had stopped, and his divine intent was gone. Zhuo Qing Ru, who had been busy beside him for a while, had long since stopped her futile rescue, her expression quite sorrowful. This body was already divinely dead, even Cao Ji’s calling could not bring back the divine!

Who would have thought that the story of Diao Hai Lou’s true transmission and Great Qi’s heaven’s proud son would end so hastily?

One had already become a mirror in a flower, and the other was merely a person in a dream.

Cao Ji, on the mountaintop, finished his shout and wasted no time. He顺势 raised his military horn again, gathering military power!

Earlier, he had let Jiang Wang command the great army, simply wanting to give Jiang Wang the opportunity to grasp merit during victory, to fulfill the Tianzi’s intention. It was also considered adding blessings to his so-called blessed general.

But disaster was born from his elbow and armpit, and there was no longer a smooth wind.

Jiang Wang transferred power to Shang Feng Chen and faced Ji Lan Xian, who stepped out of the water mirror. He fell with a single touch.

Shang Feng Chen’s military ability naturally surpassed Jiang Wang’s, but he also lacked the ability to instantly unify so many warriors of different origins and training into one formation.

At this moment, wanting to truly use army power, Cao Ji heavily grasped military power.

With the military power gathered, a phantom of an ancient battlefield instantly appeared behind him. One could see corpses everywhere, knife edges still forward. One could see broken flags stained with blood, still facing the setting sun!

His Dao principles were directly consuming against the Dao principles of Xuan Shen Emperor Lord Rui Chong. A person with a broken arm against a person with a broken arm, it was quite complementary.

However, although he had Tai Yi Mountain under his feet, in this field of origin consumption, he actually fell into a disadvantage.

Originally, this wasn’t considered anything. Xuan Shen Emperor Lord was extraordinary, and he had made a judgment from the beginning. A soldier’s victory lies in the overall picture. The advantages on other battlefields would necessarily feed back. He only needed to wait.

Just like waiting for the Sea Race to be bold and empty, just like waiting for Gao Ji to make his move and sacrifice the imperial edict.

An outstanding military family must possess outstanding patience. But at this moment, he could not wait any longer.

Qi Xiao should have already fought and died with Wei Xun. Therefore, he was now the highest commander on the battlefield.

He must bear the responsibility and ensure victory!

The battlefield at the intersection of the three transcendence paths was indeed difficult to interfere with. But difficult to interfere with does not mean impossible to interfere with.

Ji Lan Xian, Gao Ji, and Xuan Yuan Shuo were walking towards transcendence, and had not yet become transcendent.

They still had half their bodies in the human world, and this was the enemy’s throat!

At such a moment, Cao Ji still stood on the peak of Tai Yi Mountain, killing against Rui Chong, who was spread across the sky.

But the phantom of the ancient battlefield behind him “lived” at this moment. This was the divine power, Battlefield Autumn Pointing Soldiers!

Everyone said that Cao Ji had no famous battles, but in reality, not many people had seen him make a full force move, because great military families never had their commanders charge into the formation. Nor had there ever been an opponent that forced him to personally don armor and fight in blood when the mountains were bare and the waters were exhausted.

Everyone said that bitter-faced Cao Ji fought wars without much excitement. But his every victory would adorn this battlefield. The more victories he had, the stronger he became. What kind of appearance did he have today?

He was conferred the title of Duke Du with military merit, extinguished Xia and Jin True Monarchs, traced Dao principles with divine power, and was a master of the Soldier Dao absolute peak.

Under his command, the Human Race’s great army, although having gone through a great war, maintained its military appearance. With Chong Guang, Yang Feng, Qin Zhen, and other contemporary True Persons entering the formation, the military appearance became even more flourishing.

At this moment, divine power was in his grasp, and at this moment, the great army was assembled. A Soldier Dao cultivator’s most powerful time was precisely this time.

The Human Race’s great army, located in the Ji You realm, gathered into a military formation, soldier evil rushed into the sky, killing into the phantom of the ancient battlefield.

Soldier evil entered divine power.

The real battlefield and the divine power battlefield summoned and reflected each other as one.

The spring wind blew, shaking the white paper lanterns. Yu Li Yang and Zhu Sui also entered the formation.

Those broken flags were erected one by one, and those corpses lying on the ground grasped their bloody knives one by one and stood up. Without a sound, they helped up warhorses and flipped onto them. Without a sound, they raised their war knives high and gazed at the war flags.

The corpses and broken flags on the battlefield were originally also millions strong, with flags like a forest!

And under the leadership of a team of armored generals forming a sharp arrow formation… Charge! Charge! Charge!

To command millions of talents is rare in the world, moreover, True Persons and True Monarchs were all in the formation. Cao Ji’s eyes, ears, nose, and mouth were all bleeding.

But the iron cavalry of the great army commanded by him stepped on mountains, stepped on seas, broke passes, broke cities, and boldly killed into the bright moon at the intersection of the transcendence paths!

What is a great Soldier Dao family? Now let the Sea Race know!
