179: Destroy the sea beasts! Highly recognized!
The dream created by the origin fragments was far less powerful than Demon Lord Yan, and Shi Feng and Sea Emperor awoke after not too long of a stalemate.
However, their attitudes towards Ye Ze were vastly different.
Shi Feng looked at Ye Ze, his eyes filled with regret.
He had never imagined that Ye Ze would possess the ability to kill Demon Lord Yan! This led him to easily believe the Sea Emperor's deceptive words, ultimately landing him in such a predicament.
“Lord Ye Ze, I shouldn’t have trusted this guy, please… no, please forgive me!”
Shi Feng changed his tone in an instant.
Ye Ze merely glanced at him: “If an apology worked, what would I need strength for?”
Shi Feng’s eyes suddenly filled with extreme terror: “Lord Ye Ze, no!”
The Panda slowly raised his hand, not even needing the Kunpeng Art, but relying solely on his own strength, striking directly at Shi Feng’s thick body.
The Shi Yue Clan was known for invincible defense, but at this moment, the Panda’s attack directly caused Shi Feng’s flesh to shatter into flying stones.
“I hate it!” Shi Feng roared, looking up, but was powerless to change anything.
“Boom!”
Shi Feng’s massive body crashed straight into the sea, and his enormous size alone crushed many Sea Beast Clan members.
The Sea Emperor moved swiftly the moment Shi Feng was killed, instantly flashing into the sea.
“I didn’t expect you could kill Lord Demon! It seems I truly underestimated you!”
The Sea Emperor’s gaze swept over Ye Ze, as streaks of blue aura condensed around his body, forming a protective barrier.
“World Power?” Ye Ze’s heart stirred when he saw the blue aura around the Sea Emperor’s body.
“Hehe! You have some discernment!” The Sea Emperor’s complexion instantly became radiant, as the World Power continuously healed his injuries.
“Ye Ze, you are indeed strong! But this is the Shan Hai World! And I… am an existence comparable to a World Master!” A hint of triumph flashed in the Sea Emperor’s eyes.
Beneath him, countless sea beasts roared in response to the Sea Emperor’s words.
The Sea Beast Clan would never lose!
“I truly didn’t expect you to have so much World Power!” Ye Ze looked at the Sea Emperor with some emotion.
The Sea Emperor threw his head back and laughed: “Hahahaha! Did you just realize? Do you know why the Sea Beast Clan is so powerful? Even under the invasion of demonic aura, they still maintain their sanity?”
“Because we ate the Kunpeng!” A gleam flashed in the Sea Emperor’s eyes.
“Although the Kunpeng was a World Master, he was too arrogant! When Lord Demon dragged him into the dream world, everything was already fated!” The Sea Emperor spread his hands: “So he died, fulfilling our Sea Beast Clan!”
“And you, you cannot change this!” The Sea Emperor raised the trident in his hand and pointed it at Ye Ze.
The Sea Beast Clan had no retreat!
Even if Demon Lord Yan was killed, what then? Now he possessed most of the World Power, and the Sea Beast Clan was also protected by the World Power. With this alone, how could they be defeated by an outsider human?
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Ye Ze’s face showed a look of realization, but his expression showed no panic at all; instead, he nodded and said, “So that’s how it is!”
No wonder the Kunpeng simulated by Yan in the dream world was so real and powerful; it turned out to have been killed by Yan!
However, the Sea Emperor probably didn't know that Ye Ze had already killed the Kunpeng; would he still be afraid of him?
The Sea Emperor’s lips curled slightly: “Accept the judgment of fate! Sea Beast Clan, attack! Kill the human before you!”
The blue aura around the Sea Emperor’s body dispersed into the sea.
The morale, which had been severely damaged by the killing of elite sea beasts, instantly recovered, and they charged towards Ye Ze with crimson eyes.
Such a large-scale charge had a powerful momentum.
“Simon!” Ye Ze waved his hand, directly summoning the Demon Dragon.
The Demon Dragon stood before Ye Ze, its sturdy body proudly upright, its dragon claws directly stepping on the ground, and it roared with its head raised.
Tyrant!
The Demon Dragon’s deterrence was incredibly powerful, especially in such large-scale battles.
The Demon Dragon truly had the aura of a demon king, and facing these charging sea beasts, the Demon Dragon roared, and black flames directly covered the area in front of him.
“A bunch of weaklings dare to challenge the great Demon Dragon Simon, you are seeking death!”
Simon showed no panic; at this moment, he was even somewhat grateful to have become a summoned beast!
As long as Ye Ze did not die, he could be reborn infinitely!
Moreover, in this kind of battle, his strength would improve very significantly.
[Violent Rule - Tyrant - Simon, current number of controlled units 3420, obtained attribute: 800 points!]
When he saw this number, Ye Ze was also shocked.
But looking at the dense Sea Beast Clan, the Sea Beast Clan controlled by Simon was not that obvious.
“Sea beasts that submit to me will receive my protection! Kill!” Simon was very clever; seeing that the intimidated sea beasts had surrounded him, he immediately commanded these Sea Beast Clan members to turn their attacks and begin a counterattack.
The Sea Emperor was furious at this sight.
But no matter how angry he was, he was currently preoccupied.
The Panda’s movements seemed effortless, yet they left the Sea Emperor flustered!
No matter how sharp the Sea Emperor’s attacks were, they would be easily resolved by the Panda.
“Damn it! Damn it!” The Sea Emperor brandished his trident, wanting to force the Panda back and escape this strange situation.
The Panda responded to all changes with constancy, continuously depleting the Sea Emperor’s strength.
On the other side, Zero and the Fox cooperated, instantly killing the elite of the Sea Beast Clan with a single strike, to prevent these guys from interfering with the Demon Dragon’s rule.
Ye Ze, relying on his summoned beasts, withstood the Sea Beast Clan’s attack.
When the situation fell into such a state, the Sea Beast Clan had already lost.
Seeing the situation becoming increasingly unfavorable for him, the Sea Emperor no longer hesitated and detonated the World Power protecting his body.
The violent explosion caused spatial turbulence, and the Sea Emperor changed direction, attempting to dive into the seawater.
But what he didn't expect was that the Panda was waiting for this opportunity!
Martial God Form!
Martial God Domain!
Kunpeng Art!
The Panda, who had been constantly maneuvering against the Sea Emperor, went all out, taking a single stride and directly charging through the spatially turbulent area caused by the World Power’s eruption, arriving directly in front of the Sea Emperor.
“Not good!” the Sea Emperor exclaimed.
At this moment, he had already sensed his attributes rapidly decreasing. Although the seawater was within reach, he felt as if he had fallen into a quagmire, unable to escape no matter how much he struggled.
“No!” the Sea Emperor roared.
But it was too late!
The Panda’s fist directly smashed into the Sea Emperor’s back, and a crisp cracking sound rang out.
With one punch, the Sea Emperor’s spine was completely shattered! Even a pseudo-World Master would need a long time to repair such an injury.
However, with such an attack, a hint of joy flashed in the Sea Emperor's eyes.
Using the force of the Panda's punch, he was rapidly approaching the seawater!
As long as he entered the sea, it would be his domain!
But soon, a flash of blade light streaked past.
The Sea Emperor’s eyes showed a hint of confusion; clearly, he hadn’t realized what had happened. That fleeting blade light had already severed his head!
[Killed Sea Beast Clan Sea Emperor, gained experience: 1,000,000 (+20%)!]
Looking at the prompt that popped up in front of him, Ye Ze knew that everything had settled.
At the same time, a large wave of World Power surged into his body.
But after absorbing this World Power, Ye Ze saw that the quest prompt was still a little short of completion.
[Shan Hai World World Power, recognition level: High!]
To complete the advancement quest, he would need the Shan Hai World to fully recognize him, meaning he would obtain the title of true World Master!
Although there were still many Sea Beast Clan members who had divided the World Power, it was still impossible to achieve full recognition.
“World Tree!” Ye Ze immediately figured out the way to make the Shan Hai World truly recognize him.
If he could completely purify the World Tree, he would gain enough World Power!
“First, clear the array, then purify the World Tree as quickly as possible!” Ye Ze immediately instructed Simon: “Have the sea beasts take us to the array!”
Simon roared, his head thrown back, as the Doomflame fell, clearing out another large area before he responded to Ye Ze: “Master, I already know the location of the array!”
“Let’s go!” Ye Ze leaped directly onto his back.
When the Sea Emperor was killed, the Sea Beast Clan had completely collapsed, and many sea beasts had submerged into the deep sea.
Ye Ze had no interest in chasing them; instead, he wanted to purify the array as quickly as possible!
The World Tree had been infected by the array, and if time was delayed, it could lead to the World Tree becoming completely demonic, which would be troublesome.
The Demon Dragon gently flapped its wings, soared into the air, and rapidly flew towards the Sea Beast Clan’s array.
In the vast ocean, a solitary island floated on the surface.
And this island was already enveloped by demonic aura.
The familiar demonic array appeared, and Ye Ze wasted no words: “Clear this place!”
Simon opened his large mouth and attacked the demons on the array.
The Fox was not to be outdone, and with a single hand, her Samadhi True Fire instantly killed the demons that had just reacted.
Ye Ze took out the origin fragment of Chi and directly crushed it.
[Consumed “Origin Fragment - Chi”, gained 100,000 points of Origin Power!]
The jade purification bottle, which had been nearly depleted, once again made the sound of sweet dew shaking, and the Fox also carried the jade purification bottle above the demonic array.
“Consume 10,000 points of Origin Power to purify the demonic array, confirm?”
Without hesitation, the purification began!
The demonic aura began to dissipate, and the island, once shrouded in demonic aura, revealed its original appearance.
But just as the purification was about to end, the World Tree on the other side of the array suddenly erupted with a powerful demonic aura.
“Oh no!” Ye Ze realized something was wrong; the World Tree might have truly been demonized!
Demon Lord Yan had been planning in the Shan Hai World for a long time, especially regarding the World Tree. After ambushing and killing the Kunpeng in the dream, he began to use arrays to infect the World Tree, and during this period, he had already gained partial recognition from the World Tree!
This meant that the Spirit Demon Clan guarding the World Tree was likely in great trouble!
Fortunately, Ye Ze had already prepared.
Squirrel Clone, spatial shift!
----
Below the World Tree.
White Lin looked at the surrounding Spirit Demon Clan with a gratified expression. Although he had lost his status as a pseudo-World Master, having Ye Ze lead the Spirit Demon Clan filled him with hope.
The area around the World Tree had been purified by sweet dew, and with abundant spiritual energy, it quickly returned to its original state.
The members of the Spirit Demon Clan were even more joyfully playing here, enjoying the long-lost sense of tranquility.
With Ye Ze’s presence, they finally no longer feared demons!
“If only the World Tree could recover! Everything in the Shan Hai World would return!” The Moon Rabbit propped her chin, looking at the only slightly discordant place, the World Tree.
The two white Squirrels lying beside her nodded quickly, clearly agreeing with her opinion.
White Lin said with a chuckle, “Soon! With Lord Ye Ze taking action, the World Tree will be purified quickly!”
But at this moment, a powerful demonic aura suddenly erupted from the World Tree.
White Lin’s expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he immediately raised his hand: “Alert! The World Tree has mutated!”
The worst fear had come true.
The World Tree had originally been still, but as the demonic aura erupted, it suddenly swung its trunk and smashed it onto the ground. Several Spirit Demon Clan members who couldn't dodge in time were directly smashed into meat paste!
“Roar!” The World Tree roared, shaking its body violently.
Countless leaves scattered down, but they transformed into lethal blades, frantically harvesting the Spirit Demon Clan around the World Tree.
White Lin reacted relatively quickly; under his protection, many Spirit Demon Clan members were saved, but the Spirit Demon Clan members who had just been roaming around the World Tree were instantly slaughtered.
Moon Rabbit’s eyes welled up with tears: “H-how could this happen!”
“Quickly use the Moon Spirit Pearl to form a temporary barrier to protect our clansmen! Lord Ye Ze will be back soon!” White Lin said urgently.
Upon hearing this, the Moon Rabbit hastily took out the Moon Spirit Pearl.
The Moon Spirit Pearl had been used many times without replenishment, and its internal power was already very scarce, but at this moment, she could not hesitate.
A temporarily formed Moon Spirit Barrier protected the Spirit Demon Clan.
However, each attack from the World Tree made the protective shield continuously tremble, as if it would shatter in the next second.
“Oh no! The Moon Spirit Pearl’s energy is almost depleted!” the Moon Rabbit said urgently.
Upon hearing this, a hint of despair flashed in the eyes of many Spirit Demon Clan members.
“No, why is this happening? We were about to win, World Tree, why are you slaughtering your children!”
“Where is Lord Ye Ze? We need you!”
Countless shouts rang out, and under the World Tree’s terrifying attacks, except for a few stronger Spirit Demon Clan members, the other Spirit Demon Clan members began to pray in their own ways.
A solemn look flashed in White Lin’s eyes.
Although his strength had just recovered at the moment, he was unwilling to sit idly by. He was just waiting for the Moon Spirit Pearl shield to break; even if it meant risking his life, he would stall until Ye Ze returned!
“Crack!”
A cracking sound rang out, and a hint of despair flashed in the Moon Rabbit’s eyes.
A crack had appeared on the Moon Spirit Pearl in her hand: “It’s over!”
White Lin took a deep breath, and the power within his body began to surge.
But before he could make a move, a light shield directly enveloped them.
Spiritual Splendor Protection!
The Fox held the spiritual radiance xuan yuan pearl in one hand, directly transforming the ice spiritual energy into a huge protective shield, protecting the Spirit Demon Clan.
“It’s Lord Ye Ze! Lord Ye Ze is back!”
“Wuwuwu! We’re saved!”
Many of the Spirit Demon Clan cried tears of joy.
Ye Ze also quietly breathed a sigh of relief: “Fox Fairy, well done! We weren’t too late!”
