Chapter 854 – Foreign Races Appear
Zhao Hai was currently inside the Space’s villa. In front of his tea table was the Hell King’s ship. At the same time, displayed on the monitor was the scene of the transported Divines inside the Space.
Zhao Hai looked at this people not because they were acting well. On the contrary, he discovered that the Divines were really good at destruction.
It’s not wrong, they were good at destroying things. Ever since they entered the background, they started to destroy everything inside it. There were some bread trees inside the background. Zhao Hai had these trees on those backgrounds so that these people would survive. He also sent some magic beasts inside.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t expect the Divines to destroy everything upon entering the background. They wiped out the bread fruits and kicked the fruit trees down. They also killed all of the magic beasts they came across. Probably this was because they wanted to vent their anger.
Laura and the others were also in front of the screen, shocked at what they saw. After some time, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, if they destroy things like that, won’t they starve to death?”
Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and coldly said, “Yes, if I don’t save them, then they would definitely starve. But I don’t have the mood to save them right now. It’s fine to be angry, but being foolishly angry is stupid. I left them a way to live, but they instead chose to destroy it.”
The women looked at the screen and smiled faintly. They didn’t know what to say. What were these Divines thinking? Do they want to be slaves? Or are they tired of living? If they don’t want to love, then they might as well kill themselves. They didn’t need to anger Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn’t want to stop the Divines. In any case, there was nothing good in that background. Even if they destroy everything inside, Zhao Hai’s losses wouldn’t be that great.
Zhao Hai changed the image to Holy Light City. Although there were some damage to the city, most of the buildings were still intact. There would be enough room for Fei’er and the others to stay.
Moreover, since Zhao Hai didn’t take any supplies away, Fei’er and the others were living in relative comfort. There were even some people boiling water in order to take a bath.
Zhao Hai looked at their situation and nodded. Then he turned the image to the Atlanta Plane. Zhao Hai wanted to know what preparations they had done. To be honest, Zhao Hai wanted them to attack the Ark Continent as soon as possible. He wanted to get his hands on those mechas as soon as possible.
Currently ,the education of the Goblins had gone smoothly. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but recognize the Goblins’ astonishing learning capabilities. The undead creatures that Zhao Hai sent had already taught them about the words of the Ark Continent. They had also been given books about magic formations to study from.
One must know that manipulating magic formations wasn’t easy. Some formations needed special materials to activate. Some needed metal, some worked better with wood.
Because of this, magic formation research doesn’t only involve the formations themselves. The materials and the methods to make them were also crucial for success.
It can be said that magic formation study was a comprehensive field. Aside from magic formations, one also needed to have studied other subjects such as alchemy and botany.
However, the Goblins were innately skilled on these matters. While they started to study fundamental formations, there were already Goblins who proceeded to study medium-grade formations used by the Ark Continent. It seems like their progress was doing very well.
Zhao Hai was very happy with this development. With the innate talents of the Goblins, they would be able to manufacture magic armors later on. For Zhao Hai, this was great news.
After looking at the Goblins, Zhao Hai shifted his attention to the Fishmen. To be honest, the Fishmen were living very comfortable lives. This was especially true for the Mermaids, they were extremely thankful to Zhao Hai.
This was because the Mermaids had a flaw in their bodies. It was because of this flaw that they were unable to produce God-ranks. Now that Zhao Hai had given them God-rank potions, they finally had a God-rank expert. For the Mermaids, there was no greater gift.
Most importantly, it seems like the God-rank potion was a key to the Mermaids. Their bodies were like treasure chests filled with riches. But since they had no key, they had no way to access it.
Now that Zhao Hai gave them the key, this treasure can now be attained. Once this treasure was opened, the God-rank Mermaids had discovered that their cultivation speed had skyrocketed.
On the same day the two God-rank Mermaids drank the potion, they were immediately able to establish a Domain without the need for combat. This caused Zhao Hai to have some envy towards them.
However, this also made Zhao Hai happy. Now that the Mermaids had this potential, he now had another strong race in his arsenal. This was definitely a good thing.
Then Zhao Hai looked at another race that he had neglected for a long time, the Sea Dragons. Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to them after he transferred them to the Space. Now Zhao Hai wanted to see how they were doing.
Once he changed the display, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be surprised. There were several God-ranks among the Sea Dragons. This was beyond his expectation.
Zhao Hai didn’t give them any God-rank potions. This meant that they had reached God-rank on their own. Although they were still Demigods, this was already quite remarkable. They haven’t entered the Space for long, only about a year or so. Having this result in that short time was already great.
The Sea Dragons were also very earnest. Those who hadn’t reached God-rank were working hard to break through. Those who have risen to God-rank were also working hard. It seems like the sight of the Divine Race had lit a fire inside them.
This was good for Zhao Hai. After looking at the other places for a while, Zhao Hai had discovered that he had nothing to do.
They were currently fighting the Divine Race, but they were also waiting for the news coming from Fei’er and the others. They needed to know about the situation before they could proceed to the next step.
Originally, Zhao Hai thought that he would need to expend his strength in order to defeat the Divine Race. But now that he has the Hell King’s ship, he was fully confident that he can win against the Divine Race with his own power.
In this plane, the Hell King’s ship was definitely a cheat-like existence. Currently, the most powerful weapon in the Space were the Domain Weapons. But now, those Domain Weapons no longer held importance to Zhao Hai.
Currently, the only thing Zhao Hai has curious with were the mechas of the Atlanta Plane. Were they better than Domain Weapons?
Because of this, Zhao Hai didn’t worry about attacking. He just had his undead go to the hell background to train themselves.
While Zhao Hai was being carefree, Fei’er and the others were actually worried. After seeing the strength of the Hell King’s ship, they knew that maintaining an equal standing with Zhao Hai was impossible. Even if they can defeat the Divine Race, the three races still couldn’t beat Zhao Hai’s ship.
Naturally, Fei’er and the others knew that the most fearful thing wasn’t the ship, but Zhao Hai himself. They had seen the ship before, and had felt how strong it was. But in the hands of Zhao Hai, the ship actually improved by a lot. This was a huge blow to Fei’er and the others.
Zhao Hai defeating the Divine Race’s Deity was already beyond Fei’er’s imagination. Then They were even more startled by the fact that Zhao Hai was able to upgrade the ship.
Upon seeing the Hell King’s ship dealing with the Divine Race, Fei’er and the others couldn’t help but feel their hearts surrender.
In the past, Fei’er wanted to get in touch with their people in order to express Zhao Hai’s abilities. They wanted Zhao Hai to have a good image in their people’s mind.
But now, Fei’er and the others chose to withhold Zhao Hai’s information. This was because they were afraid of the Divine Race knowing about the Hell King’s ship. The ship was their ultimate weapon, the later it gets revealed the better.
The reason they thought about this was because the Divine Race still didn’t know about the ship. They were successful in conquering Holy Light City, not allowing anyone to escape. At this point, the Divines had no idea about what happened inside the city.
Shan and Yue held the same sentiment as Fei’er. The Barbarians and Winged Pegasus had some hatred towards Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai had apologized to them many times, there was still a small lump in their hearts.
But after they saw the ship, this lump immediately vanished. They didn’t want to offend Zhao Hai, or else they would just be courting death.
Zhao Hai didn’t know about what Fei’er and the others were thinking about. He was now being relaxed and carefree. All of these was because of the Hell King’s ship.
The ship was too formidable. Although Fuwa had vanished due to the fusion between the pagoda and the ship, Zhao Hai discovered that he didn’t lose anything. The Hell King’s ship seemed to be internally connected with him. As long as he gave an intention, the ship would do his bidding. This was enough for Zhao Hai.
Three days after Holy Light City fell, Fei’er’s messengers had come back. Moreover, they had brought good news. It seems like the Taurus Divines were short on military strength. Although they weren’t like Zhao Hai who managed to take Holy Light City, they were still able to hold a stand-off against the Divine Race. The Taurus Divines seem to lack troops to deal with them.
Upon hearing this information, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but feel relief. It looks like there’s no plot from the Taurus Divines. Instead, they were really short on soldiers. This allowed Zhao Hai to boldly deal with the Divine Race.
After reporting the state of their people to Zhao Hai, Fei’er and the others immediately sent another letter. This letter informed them about the Hell King’s ship. They expressed their request to fully cooperate with Zhao Hai.
Just when Zhao Hai was preparing to attack the Ark Continent, the arrival of some guests stopped him from going forward. These people weren’t Divines, they were from the foreign races.
After hearing the reports from Fei’er and the others, Zhao Hai prepared to attack the Taurus continent the next day. Before Zhao Hai went to sleep at night, it was already his habit to look at the monitor. But this night, he suddenly spotted a small team appearing on the monitor. This wasn’t a squad of the three races, instead it was a team of the Foreign races.
The foreign races of the Ark Continent had already entered the Space. Without Zhao Hai, it would be impossible for them to leave the Space. Moreover, the ones on the monitor had different mounts and were evidently stronger than the ones in the Ark Continent.
There were about a thousand people in this team. Beastman Race’s Wolf cavalry numbered 500, Elven Race’s unicorn cavalry numbered 200, and Dwarf Race’s Iron Armor beast cavalry numbered 300.
Although they weren’t many, one could see that they were elite. Their strengths reaching God-rank.
Upon seeing them, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but be curious. One must know that Holy Light City was not on the edge of the Taurus Continent. So how did this cavalry team sneak in? Did the Taurus Divine army let them go? Are they that incapable of blocking troops in their border?
Zhao Hai’s guess was both right and wrong. The Taurus Divines were indeed lacking in troops. Therefore they could only guard important places in the continent. This was because they were afraid of the attacks coming from the foreign races.
At the same time, these Foreign races had the ability to sneak into the Taurus Continent. This was because of the lack of manpower from the Taurus Divines. And the other reason was the foreign races’ meticulous preparation. Even during the Taurus Divines’ heyday, they were still able to sneak in, much less now.
Chapter 855 – Arrogant Foreign Race
However, before he decided to meet these foreign God-ranks, Zhao Hai decided to bring the Beast King, Elf Queen, and Dwarf Patriarch along.
They were the leaders of the foreign races in the Ark Continent. Now that the foreign races of the Divine Realm had appeared, Zhao Hai decided to have them meet. At the same time, Zhao Hai also had them bring their Divine Artifacts.
After the three leaders heard Zhao Hai, they immediately went along and appeared in Holy Light City. The three were now 9th ranks. With their Divine Artifacts in hand, their expressions were somewhat excited.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and said, “Don’t be too anxious. We’ll see your people soon. Your people in the Divine Realm.”
The Beast King, who held his Beast God’s Spear, smiled faintly and said, “I’m somewhat excited. I don’t know what kind of life they lived in here. But they shouldn’t be very different compared to us.”
The Elf Queen smiled as well as she said, “I didn’t think we would meet in this manner. Meeting our clansmen from the Divine Realm, hehe.”
Billy was also excited, but he didn’t say anything. Zhao Hai smiled faintly as he summoned a Bone Dragon. Then the group stood on the dragon’s head before they flew outside the city.
Zhao Hai already knew where these foreign God-ranks were. Therefore, he didn’t pretend to be clueless and just went directly straight towards them.
Before long, Zhao Hai can see a team in front of him. This team was no other than the group of foreign race God-ranks that he saw on the monitor. The other party was also alerted. Upon seeing Zhao Hai, they immediately got into formation.
Zhao Hai slowed the Bone Dragon’s speed. He didn’t want them to misunderstand his approach. At this time, conflict was the last thing that he wanted. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, Zhao Hai can clearly understand this line.
The opposite party, seeing that Zhao Hai didn’t have any hostility, relaxed their formation. However, they didn’t lower their guard.
When Zhao Hai was about a kilometer away from them, he smiled faintly and said, “Hello. Are you the foreign God-ranks of the Divine Realm? My name is Zhao Hai, and I’m from the Ark Continent. These three are the Beast King, the Elf Queen, and the Dwarf Patriarch.”
The three leaders immediately gave these God-ranks a salute. On the other hand, the Foreign God-ranks were looking at them with a blank stare, they didn’t know what to say.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “There’s no need to be startled. We made a counterattack on the Taurus Continent and had seized Holy Light City. Might I know why you’re here today?”
The Foreign God-ranks looked at each other, they were still silent. In the end, they can affirm that these people were indeed from the Ark Continent. These rulers were all 9th rank, and being leaders despite being 9th rank was rare in the Divine Realm.
At this time, A Beastman God-rank said, “You’re deceiving us. The Beastman Race’s Royal Tribe are the Diamond Apes. When did the leadership change to the Tiger Tribe?”
Zhao Hai looked at the Beastman God-rank and smiled, “This needs explanation. You haven’t contacted with the Ark Continent for a long time, so you might not know about the continent’s situation. The Diamond Apes are certainly the Beastman Race’s Royal Clan, however, they managed to lose the Beast God’s Spear on the Northern Icefield. Because of this, they were sent to exile by the Beastman Race. Currently, the Lion and Tiger Tribes take turns in leading the Beastman Race.”
The Beastman God-rank looked at Zhao Hai and said, “And who are you? I’m speaking to my lesser clansman. What does it have to do with you?”
Zhao Hai gawked, he looked at the Beastman God-rank’s eyes and could see disdain. It seems like he was looking at him as though he was an enemy.
Zhao Hai wrinkled his brows, but his voice remained gentle, “You, let me ask. What do you mean by lesser clansman?”
The Beastman God-rank revealed his disdain as he said, “Human, you’re not qualified to speak to me. You, little tiger. You are just a lower grade clansman. How dare you look at me with those eyes.”
This shocked not only Zhao Hai, the Beast King and the others were stunned as well. This was because they discovered how their Divine Realm clansmen look at them. Their gaze was no different than the look the Divine Race had.
The three were staring blankly. They expected to be received warmly by their people in the Divine Realm. But instead they were met with this look, it was very difficult to accept.
Zhao Hai saw the three’s change in expression, so he stopped being polite as he looked at the Beastman God-rank and said, “You, I think you have misunderstood. We’re not any lesser than you. All these years, you’ve been suppressed by the Divines and can only huddle up in your three continent. On the other hand, the Ark Continent not only defended ourselves, we also mounted a counter attack on the Taurus Continent. We did all of these without your help. You have no qualifications to talk like that to us. If we didn’t defeat the Taurus army, you wouldn’t have sneaked in this easily.”
Zhao Hai’s impolite speech stunned these Foreign God-ranks. Meanwhile, it made the Beast King and the others vent some of their anger.
Zhao Hai was not wrong. When the Divine Race invaded the Ark Continent, Zhao Hai alone led the continent to defend. At that time, what help did these races give? And now they had the gall to be arrogant? They’re too shameless.
These Foreign God-ranks had ugly expressions as they looked at Zhao Hai. Then an Elf came forward and said, “Sure enough, Humans are indeed arrogant and conceited. My lesser clansman, what do you want to do now? Will you stay with this Human, or will you join us and return to the Virgo Continent. The true home of our Elven Race.”
The Elf Queen looked at the God-rank Elf and then gave a smile as she calmly replied, “I’d rather stay with mister Zhao Hai. The Virgo Continent is not the home of the Elves. As far as I know, anywhere in the 13 continents can be our home.”
The Beast King and Billy smiled since the Elf Queen wasn’t wrong. As long as Zhao Hai was present, then anywhere in the 13 continents would be their home. To be honest, they really didn’t care about the Divine Realm.
The Foreign God-ranks were stunned. They didn’t expect the Elf Queen to be refute the Elf. The God-rank Elf’s face turned blue as she berated, “Do you know what you’re talking about? The might of the Divine Race is beyond your imagination. Do you want to be enslaved by the Divines? Are you crazy?”
The Elf Queen couldn’t help but smile, she looked at the God-rank Elf and said, “I’m not crazy. The Divines are indeed very powerful, but the current Taurus Divines aren’t. After a few days, the Taurus Continent will fall into our hands. Moreover, we have no interest in the other continents.”
When Zhao Hai heard the Elf Queen, he looked at the Foreign God-ranks and said, “I don’t know what you’re doing in the Taurus COntinent, but this information might help you. The Taurus Divines doesn’t have the means to deal with your team. Rest assured, the Divine Realm will soon hear the news that the Taurus Continent have been conquered by the alliance of the Ark Continent, the Thunder Clan, the Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus.”
When these God-ranks heard this, their complexion couldn’t help but change. They knew about the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus. They were enslaved by the Divine Race so they had a few tussles with the Foreign races. Although these people weren’t born in the Divine Realm, one couldn’t deny that their might was quite strong.
Now, Zhao Hai actually said that the three races were their allies. This divided the foreign God-ranks between those who believed Zhao Hai and those who didn’t.
Zhao Hai looked at their eyes and said, “You don’t have to be as careful as you are now in the Taurus Continent. Besides some big cities, I believe there won’t be Divines in other places. Well then, we will be returning to Holy Light City. By the way, Holy Light City is now under our control. If you need any help, you can find us there.”
After that, Zhao Hai steered the Bone Dragon to head back towards Holy Light City, not paying anymore attention to the Foreign race God-ranks. The Beast King, Billy, and the Elf Queen all had disdainful expressions as they looked back at their kin in the Divine Realm.
Once they arrived back at Holy Light City, Zhao Hai released his Hell King’s ship and welcomed the group inside to sit. After being offered some tea, Zhao Hai looked at the others and said, “It looks like we don’t have to count on the Foreign God-ranks. But it’s somewhat strange for them to be in the Taurus Continent.”
The Beast King and the others didn’t think that their clansmen would treat them that way. At this time, the one who calmed down first was the Elf Queen, she knit her brows and said, “Mister, it might be because of the Thunder Clan and the others.”
Zhao Hai stared, he understood what the Elf Queen meant. Fei’er said before that they would coordinate with the Foreign God-ranks once their operation began. In the end, this prior cooperation wasn’t needed because of Zhao Hai. This means that Fei’er and the others already had contact with the Foreign Races before and they had reached an agreement. But after not being in contact with Fei’er and the others, these Foreign Races decided to send a team to the Taurus Continent to see the situation.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That is possible. I’ll deal with this matter, you can go back to the Space. There’s no need for you to take refuge with your kin.”
The three didn’t decline. To be honest, they had been used to living inside the Space, they now preferred it compared to outside.
After Zhao Hai sent them off, he immediately called the Great Demon King, the Demon Dragon King, as well as Fei’er’s group. Upon embarking on the ship and seeing Zhao Hai sat there with tea and some snacks, they didn’t become polite and immediately took their seats. At this point, they were used to Zhao Hai’s behaviour.
Chapter 856 – A Place to Train In
Zhao Hai looked at the group and smiled faintly, “I just saw a group of Foreign Race God-ranks earlier in the Taurus Continent. They appeared not far from Holy Light City. I took the leaders of the Ark Continent’s Foreign races met them. However, those people didn’t look good to us, so I didn’t invite them back here. Fei’er, did you have a prior agreement with the Foreign Races?”
Fei’er remembered the attitude of those Foreign God-ranks, his face turned ugly as he nodded and said, “We did have an agreement with them. We planned to cooperate and split what we gained. I think they came here since we haven’t sent some people since we came out of the Ark Continent. To be honest, I really don’t like those guys, they’re too arrogant. If I could say, the Divines didn’t like them because they were also too proud.”
As soon as the Great Demon King and the others heard Fei’er, they couldn’t help but laugh. Zhao Hai laughed as well. Fei’er liked to joke, especially now when they didn’t have too much to worry about.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Those people are truly arrogant. I think they will stay in the vicinity in the next few days. We need to proceed with our plan and clean the entire Taurus Continent.”
Fei’er and the others nodded. They were now quite eager to try conquering the Taurus Continent. They understood that with the Hell King’s ship, cities would be easily taken care of.
Zhao Hai looked at the group and smiled, “Good. Then go and prepare your army. We’ll move tomorrow. Right, after you head back, have your people clean the entire city. We’ll take them with us inside the Hell King’s ship.”
The group nodded before they turned around to leave. The Great Demon King, along with the Demon Dragon King remained. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, “How’s life in the Space doing? Are you satisfied?”
The Great Demon King laughed and said, “Satisfied, beyond satisfied. To be honest, this is the dream of the entire Demon Race. Our people are now properly settled down, we’ve even started to learn how to farm. Mister can rest assured that we won’t disrupt the Space’s environment.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “That’s great. Let me tell you something. I’ve also given the same environment to the Divines we captured. I want to leave them there and see where they’ll develop. But who would’ve thought that they would proceed to frantically destroy everything inside, including the Bread Trees I’ve prepared for them to eat. Without those fruits, I don’t believe they would last for long. It’s a pity, I’ve given them a chance, but they decided to throw it away.”
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King stared blankly, disbelief written on their faces. Then the Great Demon King said, “Did the Divines really do that? Why?”
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, “They must have thought that I would enslave them. In any case, their Space is completely different to what it used to be. They’re different from the Demons who lived in the Demon Realm. The Divines in the Divine Realm hardly encountered anything bad. They’re used to being proud, looking down at those different than them. They had completely lost their judgement. And they call themselves Divine Race, hahahaha!”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King proceeded to laugh as well. However, the two Demons can understand Zhao Hai’s underlying emotion. Zhao Hai was angry. The Divines were unappreciative to what Zhao Hai gave them. The opportunity that was offered to them was completely trashed.
The two were stuck not knowing what to say. They couldn’t help but think about the Demon Race. If the Demons were defeated by Zhao Hai, what would they do after being sent to the Space? Would they do the same as the captured Divines?
The two thought that the outcome would just be the same as right now. Demons were simple beings, and living in the Space had given them great comfort. They would still take care of the grass and the trees there. This was because the environment was much better compared to the Demon Realm.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled, “Right, later on, I want the Devil Legion to go to a Space to train. That way, maybe they can break through to God-rank.”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King were stunned. They looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I’ll take you to another Space, but you might not like it very much.” Then he waved his hand as they disappeared from the ship. The next moment, the three of them appeared inside the Hell background.
The two Demons couldn’t help but stare blankly at the surroundings. It was quite similar to the Demon Realm, no, it was much worse than the Demon Realm.
The Great Demon King looked around him before turning his head to Zhao Hai and asking, “Mister, this place is?’
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “This is my Hell Space. It isn’t very different compared to the Demon Realm. Here, I can promote the level of my undead and can plant some special plants. These special plants will be used to make my God-rank potions, allowing 9th ranks to become God-ranks. But it’s a pity that I can’t make much of the potion at this time, otherwise I would’ve given them to the Devil Legion.”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King looked at each other and saw the amazement on their eyes. Breaking through from 9th rank to God-rank was very difficult. There were countless 9th ranks in the Demon Realm, but there were only few God-ranks due to the suffering and hardship that came with it. It can be said that in ten thousand 9th ranks, it would be lucky if one of them were able to break through.
Who would’ve thought that Zhao Hai would be able to make a potion to make 9th ranks to God-ranks. This was too astonishing. It seems like they were still underestimating Zhao Hai’s capabilities.
Zhao Hai looked at the two and said, “This is one of the most recent backgrounds I’ve gained. Although its environment isn’t good, Demons can certainly cultivate here. In fact, I will send some people from the Ark Continent here to train. I want the Devil Legion to train here as well. What do you think?”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King looked at each other before nodding. Although this background was quite treacherous, the Devil Legion still needed that final push before breaking through. Once they upgrade their strength, their accomplishments would surely be limitless.
Zhao Hai looked at the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King and said, “I opened this Space before. It was during the Demon Realm’s beast tide. At that time, I had them sent here. With fierce magic beasts inhabiting this place, I believe that it would be the best training ground there is.”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King stared, but they also nodded in the end. The magic beasts of the Ark Continent and the Divine Realm were totally different compared to those in the Demon Realm. Magic beasts of the Demon Realm had the savagery found nowhere else. In terms of training, the magic beasts of the Demon Realm were indeed the best.
Originally, the Great Demon King was worried that the Demons would lose their tenacity after living in a good environment. But now that this place existed, the worry vanished into thin air.
The Great Demon King nodded and said, “Alright, I agree to mister’s plan. When I head back, I’ll let the Devil Legion train here.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “There’s no need to be anxious. It’s fine if we don’t send them all at once. Let’s do it in batches. What do you think?”
The Demon Dragon King gave a nod, “Alright. If we send them in all at once, then we might experience a shortage of people. We’ll just move slowly and have them slowly accumulate experience here.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Then it’s settled. Let’s have the first batch be 100 thousand people. They can come in at any time.”
The Great Demon King nodded. Then Zhao Hai waved his hand as they returned to the Hell King’s Ship in the Divine Realm. At this time, Fei’er and the others were preparing for tomorrow’s attack. Zhao Hai looked at the two Demons and said, “Your Majesty, Demon Dragon, you go and prepare as well. When the time comes, I’ll call you over. Right, inform the Devil Legion about the Foreign God-ranks. Have them be vigilant. If those guys decide to attack the Devil Legion, then don’t hesitate to fight back.”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King gave out a short laugh before they turned around and left. At this time, Laura and the others walked out of the cabin. Meg cleaned the table and placed some snacks. Meanwhile, Laura said, “I didn’t think the Foreign Races in the Divine Realm would be that disappointing.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “It’s possible that they had gone dull after living in the Divine Realm for some time. They had become arrogant. Hehe, let’s stop caring about them. If they aren’t doing well, they will surely beg us for help.”
Laura shook her head and said, “I hope they won’t ask us for help. Or else Brother Hai would surely give a hand.”
Zhao Hai smiled, then he drank some of his tea as he looked at the horizon. After some time, Zhao Hai said, “To be honest, the Divine Realm looks very good. I’m not cruel enough to come and just destroy it.”
Laura and the others also looked at the scenery. Then Lizzy sighed and said, “It would be nice if we weren’t enemies. Unfortunately, the Divines are too ambitious for their own good.”
Laura smiled and said, “Brother Hai, there’s no need to worry over it. Remember the Divines in the Space? They’ve brought this onto themselves.”
Zhao Hai bitterly smiled. To be honest, he was indeed thinking too much about this matter. He didn’t understand why the Divine Race were too arrogant. Was it because they thought that they were invincible? They didn’t expect to be defeated by someone other than their own kin? Perhaps this was why they couldn’t accept their current defeat.
Chapter 857 – Shock!
Early next morning, Fei’er and the others took all of the things inside Holy Light City and sorted them out before taking them into the Hell King’s ship. Everyone who went on board the ship were curious about everything inside. However, they were left disappointed upon seeing that the cabins were just empty rooms.
However, the Hell King’s ship was still able to surprise them. They didn’t think the ship would have enough of a capacity to take in everything inside Holy Light City.
To be honest, they don’t need much when they advance. Bringing daily necessities was useless since everything was supplied by Zhao Hai. However, both the Demons and the Goblins needed these things.
All of those involved were strong so it didn’t take too long for them to take everything inside Holy Light City. After that, Zhao Hai urged the ship forward as the rest followed behind.
Zhao Hai also noted the Foreign God-ranks not far from the ship. However, Zhao Hai didn’t care about them too much. Them following along was doing him a favor.
The Great Demon King and Demon Dragon King weren’t inside the ship. Instead, they were on each of their Domain Weapons, flying on both sides of the ship. As for the two recently acquired Domain Weapons, Zhao Hai didn’t give them to anybody else. He just had their undead owners keep them for now.
The large army advanced towards the Taurus Continent. Their speed wasn’t fast since Zhao Hai was looking after Fei’er and the others. He was afraid that flying too fast would diminish their fighting strength.
Their current enemy was the Divine Race and Zhao Hai didn’t want to eliminate them by himself. The merit of this action was too big. In this operation, Fei’er and the others also need to do feel like they were significant. This would be good for the alliance’s future development.
The Foreign God-ranks weren’t too far from the army. They wanted to see how Zhao Hai plans to deal with the Divine Race. At this point, they still didn’t believe that Zhao Hai was able to mount a counterattack against the Divine Realm.
Just like Zhao Hai thought, they didn’t meet any other Divines. It seems like the Divines did indeed evacuate to the big cities and were preparing to fight against the alliance army.
Although Zhao Hai can affirm that nobody was able to escape from Holy Light City, the other cities should still be able to sense something wrong judging by the fact that Holy Light City had been silent for quite some time. Therefore, those cities would surely make corresponding arrangements. Not seeing any other Divine on the way was a normal scenario.
Ryder’s complexion was heavy as he looked at Zhao Hai’s army. Ryder was a Dwarf. To be honest, he was quite happy when he saw Billy. However, Billy not giving him a salute the moment they met angered him. Therefore, he can only give a negative look towards Billy and the others.
As Zhao Hai said, they had been in the Divine Realm for too long that they had developed some arrogance deep within. They started to think that they were superior, especially compared to those back in the Ark Continent. They thought that those from the Ark Continent don’t deserve to have equal footing with them. Actually, they didn’t intend to offend Billy and the others.
Although Ryder was somewhat arrogant, we wasn’t heartless. He had the same temperament as the Dwarves back in the Ark Continent. For him, good was good and bad was bad. In his mind, there was no such thing as a grey area.
And even if he didn’t like Billy’s conduct, and sees the Ark Continent as inferior, he still wanted to look after the Dwarves, the same was true for the other two races. At the same time, they followed also because they wanted to see whether Zhao Hai did indeed have the ability to fight against the Divine Race.
Just like what was suspected, Ryder and the others came to the Taurus Continent in order to contact the Thunder Clan, the Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus with regards to their prior agreement.
The Thunder Clan and the others didn’t reach out. Therefore the foreign races decided to send this team to take a look. They wanted to see if a problem had cropped up.
But they didn’t expect that upon arriving at the Taurus Continent, they would actually meet Zhao Hai’s group. Moreover, Zhao Hai even said that they would deal with the Divine Race themselves. This evoked the curiosity of Ryder and the others. Because of this, they decided to follow behind Zhao Hai’s army.
The situation on the road made Ryder and the others understand that Zhao Hai wasn’t lying. It seems like they did have a way to deal with the Divine Race. Otherwise, the Taurus Divines wouldn’t have acted like this. They had been flying for so long and they had yet to meet a single Divine. All of the citizens from the villages and towns had been evacuated.
They certainly didn’t believe that the Divine Race had gone on a mass vacation. The reason of the move was certainly Zhao Hai and the others. In other words, the Divine Race knew that Zhao Hai was coming, and they were currently increasing their defenses by clearing the fields!
This tactic of increasing defenses by evacuating everyone had also been used by the Foreign Races. Moreover, they haven’t only used it once. When the Divines proceeded to attack their three continents, they had to use this method to deal with the invasion. In the end, they were able to endure long enough to reclaim the three continents.
Even during their strongest period, when the Foreign Races attacked the Taurus Continent, they still weren’t compelled to use this tactic. However, Zhao Hai managed to force the Divines to do so, this explained Zhao Hai’s strength.
It was because of this that Ryder and the others had unlikable expressions right now. They understood that Zhao Hai was telling the truth. They were indeed capable of attacking the Divine Realm. This meant that their kin in the Ark Continent were now in equal standing compared to them. And this thought left a bitter taste in their mouth.
At this time, they turned their heads back to Holy Light City. They had noted that the city’s walls had all vanished.
Before long, Zhao Hai and the others arrived nearby a medium sized city. There were Divines defending the city, majority of them being civilians.
Zhao Hai inspected the city. It was a city that contained roughly more than 1 million people. It couldn’t be considered as a big city even in the Ark Continent, it can only be regarded as average.
The city didn’t have any Domain Weapon experts guarding it, its defending troops weren’t much either. The only troublesome thing in the city was the defensive formation. But this wouldn’t be a problem for Zhao Hai. At this time, Zhao Hai decided to have Fei’er and the others deal with the Divines in this city. As long as he breaks the city’s shield, then everything will be left for them.
When the Divines in the city saw Zhao Hai and the others, they immediately manned the magic cannons and ballistas. Zhao Hai didn’t care about them as he just made the Hell King’s ship crash into the city’s barrier, immediately breaking it’s protective shield.
Zhao Hai didn’t use the ship’s cannons this time. The magic cannons were too powerful, using this on this small city would be overkill.
After Zhao Hai destroyed the shield, Fei’er and the others immediately made their attack. Fei’er and the other had long waited for this day. To be honest, they felt great fighting with Zhao Hai since every troublesome thing was already taken care of.
But at the same time, this was also a problem. This meant that they had no chance to show their strength. This made them look like toadies following Zhao Hai just for the sake of it. This made them feel quite terrible.
Now that they had the opportunity to perform, the three armies immediately overran the city. The Divines in the city were also going all out in defending themselves.
Zhao Hai stood on his ship as he gazed calmly at the ongoing fight. He reeled his sympathy right now, the Divines didn’t deserve it. Even if you feel bad for them, they certainly don’t feel to bad for their previous victims..
Ryder and the others who followed behind were all shocked at what happened. A city with 1 million Divines and was defensively prepared wasn’t a good place to attack. Taking such a city would take more than 18 million troops, and might even need a Domain Weapon expert.
The most troublesome thing in attacking a Divine Race city was its defensive shields. Powering these shields were crystals. Crystals were naturally growing ores and some even form inside the bodies of magic beasts.
Magic crystals also exist this way in the Ark Continent, but the energy they contain was completely inferior compared to those in the Divine Realm.
A magic formation in a city of 1 million needed about ten thousand crystals to activate. Moreover, a Domain Weapon expert would have to make ten full attacks to dispel the shield.
Also, magic crystals can be added as the damage was dealt. This meant that with enough crystals, a city would be close to impossible to break through.
However, this powerful shield was actually turned to trash in front of Zhao Hai. He only used his ship to crash the shield into nothingness.
This was the first time they had seen something like this. To be honest, this scenario only happened in their dreams.
The battle inside the city was very intense. The Divines were very tenacious in their defense. However, their morale was constantly declining. This was caused by none other than Zhao Hai.
The Great Demon King, the Demon Dragon King, and the two undead Domain Weapon experts were making moves as well. They would use their Domain Weapons to destroy any strong resistance in the city. It didn’t take too long before the Divines were pushed into a defensive stance.
Zhao Hai’s was still the same, he didn’t want Fei’er to lose too many people lest the three races would blame him. They knew that Zhao Hai was strong, so if he didn’t offer any help, then these people would surely blame him afterwards.
Zhao Hai had a fair understanding regarding a person’s nature. These people would rush to battle in the name of military merit, but once their losses mount up, they would immediately forget why they rushed in. In the end, they could only blame Zhao Hai for not helping them by eliminating the enemies.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t want to use the Hell King’s ship. This ship shouldn’t exist in this plane. Compared to the Divine Race, it was too strong, the Divines simply had no way of countering it. But Zhao Hai still released his undead to help Fei’er and the others.
There was an important reason for this move. Zhao Hai was afraid that if he used the ship too many times, then it might provoke a response from the laws of the heavens and the earth, kicking him out of the plane. This was not a good outcome, and Zhao Hai still had a lot of things he needed to do. Because of this, Zhao Hai chose not to use the ship’s might as much as possible.
After the undead joined the fight, the battle soon came to an end. All those rebelling were killed while those who surrendered were thrown inside the Space. Whether they would survive or not wasn’t something that Zhao Hai cared about.
After taking care of that, Zhao Hai immediately had the battlefield cleaned. Then with the city at the center, the army proceeded to take a rest. At this time, Zhao Hai paid attention to the team of Foreign race God-ranks.
These Foreign God-ranks were closely behind them, but they were also at a fairly safe distance away. Zhao Hai didn’t care too much about them as he shifted his attention to Fei’er and the others’ victory as well as their casualty count.
The battle was intense. The Thunder Clan lost about 3000 people while both the Barbarians and Winged Pegasus lost about 2,000 people each. The losses were still in their acceptable range.
Standing on the ship was Fei’er as he gave Zhao Hai today’s report. Zhao Hai’s mood was quite heavy, to be honest, he didn’t want the fight to continue like this. However, he didn’t have a way to stop it. The were too far in to halt their advance.
If he decided to stop, then the Ark Continent and the Demons might not have problem, however Fei’er and the others surely will. Fei’er and the others already went all-in in this operation. Besides Fei’er and the others, the Foreign God-ranks were also aware of the situation here. Once they get involved, the Divines from the other continents would surely make a move. This would certainly ignite a fire in the entire Divine Realm.
Most importantly, the Atlanta Plane and the Underworld were yet to be dealt with. Zhao Hai believed that the Underworld wouldn’t be too simple. It’s possible that their population was much more than the Divine Realm. In this case, didn’t this mean that they would also have more God-ranks? It was because of this that Zhao Hai couldn’t just withdraw. If he retreats, then nobody would be able to deal with the Divines. Also, there were also the other planes. No matter where he went, the fate of battle will always meet him.
After Fei’er and the others gave their report, they remained standing there looking at Zhao Hai. They saw that Zhao Hai was thinking about something. After some time, Zhao Hai was still silent. Finally, the Great Demon King opened his mouth and asked, “Mister, is there something wrong?”
Zhao Hai recovered, he looked at the group and discovered that they had worried looks. He couldn’t help but smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. I only thought that the casualties from this fight is not small. From what I can see, how about we have the undead lead the charge from now on? Let’s reduce our casualties as much as possible.”
Fei’er and the others remained silent. To be honest, they really wanted to elevate their standing in front of Zhao Hai. However, they were still sane enough to not gamble with the lives of their people.
At this time, a Thunder Clan member flew towards the ship. Then he gave his report to Zhao Hai, “Mister, I have a report to make. Several Foreign race members are outside. They said they wanted to see you.”
Chapter 858 – Ultimate Weapon!
Zhao Hai stared. One of the reasons he had Fei’er and the others attack today was to show these foreign God-ranks that they were indeed in an alliance.
Showing one’s strength was one of the effective ways of gaining allies. These foreign races in the Divine Realm were potential allies for Zhao Hai, so he needed to show them what he got.
Although Zhao Hai had this intention, he didn’t expect the Foreign God-ranks to be this quick to react.
Zhao Hai looked at the Thunder Clan member and said, “Lead them here.” The Thunder Clan member turned around to get the Foreign God-ranks. Zhao Hai looked at the others and said, “It seems like those arrogant guys had seen our strength. Hahaha. How about we act arrogant as well?”
When they heard Zhao Hai, the group stared for a moment before they laughed. At this time, the Thunder Clan member had led the foreign God-ranks to the side of the ship.
Zhao Hai bowed to the three leaders and smiled, “Please come up and have a seat. How about we drink a few cups?”
The three leaders gawked, then they looked at each other before flying over to the ship. Zhao Hai waved his hand as additional tables and chairs appeared.
Zhao Hai gestured to the chairs and said, “Everyone, please.”
The three paused for a moment, they didn’t know what to say. They looked around them and saw, Fei’er’s group along with the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King. However, they didn’t see the people they wanted to see, which was the Beast King and the others.
Upon seeing the look on the three’s faces, Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Are you looking for the Beast King and the others? They’re not here. In fact, they wouldn’t participate in our counter-attack against the Divine Race. Although they had already consumed a potion to reach 9th rank, their strength still couldn’t contend with the Divines. Therefore, I didn’t allow them to participate.”
Ryder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Mister, you mean they aren’t in the Divine Realm?”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Right, they’re not here. Last time, I just took them in order to meet you. In any case, you are of the same race. Also, you’ve sent them their divine artifacts, so they wanted to show them to you. Hehe, what a pity, you didn’t give them the opportunity.” When they heard this, Ryder and the other couldn’t help but feel awkward. Zhao Hai looked at the three people and laughed, “Anyway, come sit down. May I know the reason for your visit today?”
The three immediately took their seat at the table upon hearing Zhao Hai. Fei’er and the others also sat back down. Zhao Hai looked at the three and then smiled, “Right, I forgot. This is Fei’er, a member of the Thunder Clan. This is Barbarian Shan, while this is Yue from the Winged Pegasus race. These two are the Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King.”
Ryder looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Dwarf Race, Ryder.”
The Beastman then said, “Bingya, Wolf Tribe.”
Then the Elven person said, “Elven Race, Yehta.”
Zhao Hai nodded and asked, “What matter did you come here for?” The three looked at each other before Bingya said, “We followed mister today to see your fight against the Divine Race. To be honest, you’re battle was far from what we expected. We didn’t think mister was this strong.”
Bingya’s conduct made Zhao Hai stare. Before, Bingya and the others were so arrogant, looking like they won’t accept defeat. He didn’t think that Bingya would become this poilite.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “I was just lucky. You have lived here in the Divine Realm for a long time and had many contacts with the Divine Race, so you must know about their Deity. This ship wasn’t mine initially. The Divines summoned their Deity in order to deal with me. In the end, I defeated him and took this ship for myself.” When Bingya and the others heard this, their complexion changed. They had been fighting with the Divine Race for a long time, so naturally they were aware of their Deity. They didn’t expect Zhao Hai to have the ability to defeat the Deity’s projection.
After seeing the expression on Bingya and the others’ faces, the Great Demon King smiled and said, “And it’s not only a single time. Mister has defeated the Deity twice. The first time happened back in the Ark Continent. At that time, the Divines summoned the Deity to kill mister, but in the end, he ended up gifting his pagoda artifact to mister. The second time, he gave mister a ship. Moreover, the current ship looked way better than it used to be.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “This ship is the combination of the pagoda and the ship from before. An improved version.”
Bingya and the other two looked at each other, shock evidently plastered on their faces. They didn’t think that it would be like this. Zhao Hai’s abilities startled them.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and smiled, “Let me just ask, do you want to form an alliance with us and deal with the Divine Race together?”
Bingya and the others nodded. Zhao Hai smiled and said, “That’s great. Being in an alliance just makes things easier. But I think it would be best if you send this information to your territories and discuss it with your people. If you agree, you can just tell me. I’ll use this period of time to deal with the Taurus Divines.”
As soon as Bingya and the others heard Zhao Hai, they nodded. They knew that what Zhao Hai said was correct. An important matter such as forming an alliance wasn’t something they themselves can decide. Moreover, it seems like the Demons were with Zhao Hai while Fei’er and the others were already taken in by him. Adding Zhao Hai’s incalculable strength, the team leaders definitely needed to report this matter to their people.
Zhao Hai looked at the three and smiled, “Everyone, not involving you in our attack of the Taurus Continent was my idea. The hatred between your three races and the Divine race is too deep, you should already know this. If you participated in our attack, then the entirety of the Divine Race would counter. At this time, we have yet to capture the Taurus Continent, if that happens, then it would be disadvantageous for us. Therefore, I planned to deal with the Taurus Divines first before informing you. An enemy of an enemy if a friend. As long as we eliminate the Divines, only then could we relax. Because of this, I’m willing to form an alliance with you.” Bingya and the others kept silent. But their faces couldn’t hide their awkwardness. Their conduct last time was indeed too poor. They had treated Zhao Hai and the others as lesser people. Now that they were facing the strong Zhao Hai, they couldn’t help but feel disgusted by themselves.
They didn’t think that Zhao Hai would still propose an alliance. Zhao Hai looked at the three and smiled, “I won’t hold you here for too long. I hope that you can contact your people and give me a reply as soon as possible. If you agree to the alliance, then preparations would be needed.”
Bingya and looked at the others and then the three simultaneously stood up. They gave Zhao Hai a salute before they turned around to leave. After seeing that Bingya and the others had left, Fei’er chuckled and said, “To be honest, I’m getting tired of seeing arrogant people. Mister, I think after seeing the battle today, they will definitely start to behave.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “I truly hope that they will agree to the alliance. But to be honest, I also wouldn’t be bothered if they decline.”
Fei’er laughed. When they contacted the three foreign races before, it seemed like they were at a disadvantage. This made him feel terrible. Now that Zhao Hai said this, he realized that what they felt might be the same as what those three team leaders must have felt right now. They felt that if they don’t ally with the foreign races, then they would have no way to contend with the Divine Race. In the end, they would have to be compelled to enter the alliance.
Zhao Hai was different, whether the foreign races wanted to become allies or not, his strength can still take him to his destination. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Hai could have the initiative to propose the alliance. He would hold an equal position to the
Fei’er looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Mister, since our attacks had been smooth, I have something to tell you. I heard that the Divines of the 13 continents had their ultimate weapons. Once their continent met a critical situation, they would us it. I heard that the might of this weapon is enormous. But as to what degree, I don’t know.”
Zhao Hai said, “Ultimate Weapon? Hmm, perhaps this is the reason why the three races are yet to eliminate the Divines on their own continents. Hehe. It doesn’t matter, now I want to see how strong these Ultimate Weapons are.”
After seeing Zhao Hai so relaxed, Fei’er couldn’t help but caution him, “Mister, being careful of this point is important. I heard that this weapon can even move mountains. It’s extremely strong!” Zhao Hai nodded, “Rest assured, I will pay attention. No matter what, we need to take the Taurus Continent for ourselves. So sooner or later, we would have to meet this weapon. We’ll strengthen our offensive from now on. We’d rather have the Divines use this weapon on us compared to your people.”
Chapter 859 – Nibbling at the Taurus Continent
As soon as they listened to Zhao Hai, Fei’er and the others couldn’t help but stare blankly. Then they soon understood his point. If the Divines decided to use their ultimate weapon on their people, then they would no doubt be defeated.
Zhao Hai looked at Fei’er and the others and comforted them, “It’s going to be fine. Don’t worry, we’ll quicken our advance tomorrow. I also want to see what this ultimate weapon looks like.”
Fei’er and the others stayed silent. Then Zhao Hai said, “Fei’er, after you go back, send a letter to your people. Tell them to refrain from pushing too hard against the Divines, let us take care of it.” The three nodded, then they stood up and said their goodbyes before leaving.
After seeing their reactions, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but smile. The Great Demon King smiled as well, “Mister, you really scared them. To be honest, if I was the ruler of the Taurus Continent, I would definitely use that ultimate weapon to eradicate their three clans first. Only then would they have no extra worries when fighting a decisive battle against us.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “That’s true. That’s the reason I decided to remind them. But it’s quite strange that Fei’er only told me about this ultimate weapon now. Did he forget about it?”
The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King looked at each other. They felt strange as well. It seemed like Fei’er forgot, but he didn’t express his lapse in memory. Zhao Hai looked at the two and smiled, “It’s fine, don’t worry. It doesn’t matter if they forgot or they withheld it from us. The result is still the same.” The Great Demon King smiled and said, “Perhaps they didn’t want mister to gain another weapon.” Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai laughed.
Zhao Hai being relaxed wasn’t because he was looking down on the Divine Race’s ultimate weapon. It was because he was confident with the Hell King’s Ship. If the ship couldn’t defeat this ultimate weapon, then Lu Wei had no qualifications to become the Divine Race’s Deity.
If Lu Wei wants to become the Deity of the Divine Race, then he would need to establish his dominance. Both the pagoda and the ship were very powerful artifacts. Although they hadn’t undergone Zhao Hai’s upgrades, they still allowed Lu Wei to subdue the Divine Race. In other words, these two treasures should be more formidable compared to this ultimate weapon. Otherwise, the Divines wouldn’t have submitted to him.
If Lu Wei’s two weapons were more powerful than the ultimate weapon of the Divine Race, then how strong would Zhao Hai’s fused treasure be? This was the reason behind Zhao Hai’s confidence.
But although he was confident, he still didn’t want to take his enemy lightly. Even lions go all out in wrestling rabbits. Zhao Hai was also the same.
After Fei’er and the others returned to their own camps, they immediately sent letters to their people. They were afraid that Zhao Hai’s words would come true.
The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others carried on with their attack. Zhao Hai had changed their way of fighting against the Divine Race. He asked Fei’er about their location and it seems like they were now in the southeast part of the Taurus Continent. Their direction yesterday was headed towards the continent’s northwest. This meant that if they continue, then they would slash through the continent in a diagonal line.
Zhao Hai didn’t want this to happen. Therefore, he changed their heading. To minimize being attacked in the rear, he decided to clear the southeast of the continent first before heading forward.
The current military strength of the Taurus Divines wasn’t a lot, but their southeast didn’t cut back on their defense. Almost all armies were centralized on large and small cities. This had given Zhao Hai the opportunity to pick them out one by one, just like how one removes one nail at a time. At the same time, the Space’s map of the Taurus Continent would expand as well.
After only three days, Zhao Hai cleared dozens of cities in the southeastern side of the Taurus Continent. Every Divine that was alive were thrown into the Space.
Zhao Hai didn’t really want to starve these captive Divines. Although they had destroyed a very large area in the background that they were in, that space was still very big. As long as they calm down, they should be able to understand that they shouldn’t destroy their environment. But as for how long they come to terms with their situation, Zhao Hai didn’t know.
At the same time, Zhao Hai wasn’t counting on them to provide him with Faith Power. He only threw them to the Space so that he wouldn’t have to deal with the nuisance of killing them.
After clearing the whole southeast of the Taurus Continent, Zhao Hai’s group started to advance further. However, Zhao Hai didn’t blindly go forward. Instead, he directly headed towards the largest city in the Taurus Continent as well as their capital, Divine Will City.
Their advancement went quick, going forward almost at a straight line. Every city they encountered was captured. Zhao Hai’s army was just like an unstoppable force.
Zhao Hai’s speed of attack made the Taurus Divines panic. There were even some people in the continent who started to prepared their ships, intending to seek refuge on the other continents
At this time, Fei’er and the others got some news from their people. It seems like they had stopped the Taurus attack. Moreover, they were sending over some people to meet Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai wasn’t anxious to fight with the Divine Race. He just chose this method so that the Taurus Continent would focus on him. Zhao Hai knew that he can’t push the Taurus Divines too much. It would be troublesome if they were to ask for help from the other continents.
Because of this, after Zhao Hai received information from Fei’er about the state of their people, he slowed his advance.
He slowed down, but that didn’t mean that he did nothing. Instead, he dealt with the areas he went through. If his previous advance was a straight line, his advance now was like a flat uniform plane.
Although he has slowed down, the area he conquered had gotten bigger and bigger. Zhao Hai did this to first, get a bigger territory, second, to give the Thunder Clan and the others a place for themselves, and third, to wait for the response from the Foreign Races.
Zhao Hai also paid attention to the response of the other continents. He already had Fei’er send a letter to their people. After they stopped the attack from the Divines, Zhao Hai asked them to have some of their elite troops monitor the state of the other continents. They need to make sure that the Taurus Continent doesn’t ask for reinforcements.
This request was unexpectedly accepted by the Thunder Clan and the others. Originally, they were feeling quite terrible for not being able to help deal with the Divines. The third day after Zhao Hai had occupied the southeastern part of the Taurus Continent, the representatives of the Thunder Clan, Barbarians, and the Winged Pegasus finally arrived.
This time, their lineup could be said to be extravagant. The Thunder Clan sent 200 thousand elites, the Barbarians sent 500 thousand, and the Winged Pegasus sent a million elites; all of which were God-ranks. Their leaders were quite remarkable as well. The Thunder Clan and the Barbarians sent their Great Elders, a position only surpassed by the Patriarch. Meanwhile, the Winged Pegasus sent their Council Speaker. In the Winged Pegasus race, besides the Patriarch, there was also a council participating in ruling the people. The power that a Council Speaker held was about the same as the Great Elders of the Barbarians and the Thunder Clan. It can be said that the three races had sent their 2nd highest ranked official.
Their status, compared to Fei’er and the others, was certainly much higher.
Their collective army arrived where Zhao Hai was. At this time, the Hell King’s ship was parked inside a medium grade city. After Fei’er and the others overran the city, they immediately set some huge camps. After the army arrived, they immediately settled inside their respective areas.
Zhao Hai didn’t care too much. In any case, they were just allies and he wasn’t their king. The newly arrived army weren’t required to see him after they arrived. They would visit their people first to get briefed about the situation before they go and see Zhao Hai. However, the three races didn’t make Zhao Hai wait for long. Immediately after settling down, the leaders came together to see him.
Zhao Hai stood on top of the Hell King’s ship as he looked at the three leaders arriving. These people were fairly old, they were also wearing traditional clothing from their clans. The Barbarian Great Elder was wearing a fur robe. His build was quite stout and on his hand was a staff. Although his robe made him look like a formidable warrior, he actually let out a scholarly vibe.
The Thunder Clan’s Great Elder was quite tall and big. He was also wearing a long robe and had a stick on his hand. This stick was like the totems the other Thunder Clan members had, but it was smaller, about the size of a cane.
The Winged Pegasus’ Council Speaker had magnificent clothes. He had a pure white staff and had a bearing of a Great Noble from the Ark Continent.
Zhao Hai went to greet the three leaders as he gave a bow and said, “Zhao Hai has seen the leaders. For you to see me this early makes me feel honored. Please come on board and have a seat.”
The three immediately returned the bow as the Winged Pegasus Council Speaker smiled and said, “Winged Pegasus Fang has seen mister. Mister is too polite, it’s given that we would need to pay a visit.”
The Barbarian Great Elder also gave a salute as he said, “Barbarian Jiang greets mister. Thank you for helping our fellow Barbarians.”
The Thunder Clan Elder gave a salute and also introduced himself, “Thunder Clan Wushuang has seen mister. Fei’er had told us about mister’s abilities, I couldn’t help but admire mister’s strength.”
Chapter 860 – I’m Quite Disappointed
Zhao Hai smiled at the three and said, “There’s no need to be polite, come and have a seat. I’ve prepared quite a lot of food.”
It wasn’t only Wushuang and the others who were present. Fei’er and the others also came. The Great Demon King and the Demon Dragon King were already with Zhao Hai.
After the group sat down, Laura and the others immediately delivered the prepared food. Zhao Hai served Chinese dishes, something that cannot be found in the Ark Continent, or anywhere else.
The Great Demon King and the other guests gawked at the table. Although they were people with high status, they hadn’t seen a magnificent feast before. Everyone was speechless.
Zhao Hai raised his wine glass towards his guests and smiled, “Everyone, these are unique dishes of the Buda Clan. There aren’t a lot of people who have eaten it. I’m glad that everyone came here today. Please, join me in this toast!”
The others immediately raised their glasses to return the courtesy before downing it in one go. Then Zhao Hai refilled his glass, but this time he didn’t make a toast. Instead, he looked at the group and said, “Please have a taste of our dishes, there’s no need to be polite.”
Defeated by their curiosity, the guests decided to have a taste of the food. Let alone it’s tasty appearance, it’s aroma was quite outstanding as well. They couldn’t help but look at Zhao Hai and express their praise by raising their glass. After drinking a few more liquors, Zhao Hai looked at the three newly arrived leaders and said, “You came to see me this time, do you have something to ask?”
Barbarian Jiang looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, “We’ve been ordered by our Patriarchs to express our gratitude to Mister Zhao Hai. Not only did you forgive us for attacking the Ark Continent, you even allied with our group. We’re also grateful that you consider our people whenever you fight against the Divine Race.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “You’re too polite. We’re allies, that’s what an ally is for. Moreover, the Divines are our common enemy. It’s only appropriate to deal with them together.”
Jiang smiled as well and stayed silent. At this time, Thunder Clan Wushuang opened his mouth and said, “Besides expressing our gratitude to mister, we also brought an army to support the war. Naturally, we know that mister didn’t lack in military strength, but since we’re allies, we still need to contribute in one way or another.”
Winged Pegasus Fang nodded and said, “Right, although Mister is taking good care of us, we still need to help in the fight against the Divine Race. Otherwise, we will feel restless.”
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, “You’re all being very polite. It’s really fine. Having your people charge instead of my undead isn’t something that I would do. We’re allies, it’s not like I want to control your people by exhausting your strengths.”
Winged Pegasus Fang didn’t think that Zhao Hai would be this frank. Winged Pegasus Yue smiled upon hearing Zhao Hai as he said, “Speaker, Mister is always this frank. He talks like this to all his friends. Only when speaking to his enemies would mister change his tone.”
Fang nodded, he gave an appreciative look at Zhao Hai as he raised his glass and said, “Let me offer this cup to Mister. You’re a genuine friend. Also, this wine is really good.”
Zhao Hai laughed and said, “If you like it that much, then I’ll give you some when you head back. I also have some Beastman milk wine as well as fruit wines. At this point, the Ark Continent already has many types of liquor. All of them taste very good.”
What Zhao Hai and the others were drinking was Rice Wine. It’s not very strong so even those who hadn’t drunk any liquor could still bear a few glasses.
After the group drank another glass, Zhao Hai said, “I’ve already talked to the Foreign Races in the Divine Realm. I’ve proposed an alliance and hoped that they won’t begin attacking the Divines. Does anyone have any opinion on this?”
Fei’er and the others had already written about this matter. Therefore, when the three Elders heard this, they shook their heads. Then Winged Pegasus Wushuan said, “Mister, we’ve also considered this before. However, we were afraid that our allies wouldn’t be strong enough. Therefore, we needed to ask for their help in dealing with the Divine Race. But now that Mister is here, we can change our plan. Otherwise, things would be disadvantageous for us. Also, I need to thank Mister for reminding us about the threat of the Ultimate Weapon. Ever since we have been enslaved by the Divines, we had never seen that weapon before. Therefore, we aren’t even sure if it existed or not. Mister, we apologize for not telling you about it before.”
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. You’re not even sure of it so I can’t blame you. Don’t worry about it. Right, I’ll give you messenger fishes later. This way, it would be more convenient for us to communicate. You should also give some to the people monitoring the seas so that they can notify us as soon as possible.”
Thunder Clan Wushuang nodded and said, “Fei’er also wrote about those messenger fishes to the clan. To be honest, those things are convenient to use.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, “This fish is actually found in the Ark Continent. The Fishman Race has been using this fish to communicate with each other. But since the Radiant Church started to suppress the different races of the Ark Continent, the continent never knew about the existence of this fish.”
Wushuang and the others nodded. They have some understanding regarding what happened in the Ark Continent. The means used by the Divine Race were more sinister than what was done on the three races. If it wasn’t for Zhao Hai, the Ark Continent might have been enslaved a long time ago.
Then Zhao Hai said, “But these fishes also has a weak point. A fish can only talk with one other fish. This isn’t very good. I’m still finding ways to improve on it. I hope that it would be more useful in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Winged Pegasus Fang asked, “So Mister is saying that, later on, the fish can communicate with multiple people? If that’s the case, then that would be very good. Right, let’s go back to the current situation. I’m afraid it wouldn’t be long before the Taurus Divines use their Ultimate Weapon. Does Mister have any plans?”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “In my opinion, there is no need to be afraid of that ultimate weapon. It’s quite obvious that the Divines couldn’t use it easily, they surely will pay a huge price whenever it goes out. Instead, I’m quite curious about this weapon. Not only for the Taurus Divines, I’m interested in the ultimate weapons of the other continents as well.”
Fang and the others smiled. They were appreciative of Zhao Hai’s self-confidence. The group continued to chat for some time. After everyone was full and had drunk to their heart’s content, Fang and the others proceeded to leave.
After the guests had left, Laura and the others went out and looked at their departing backs. Then Laura asked, “Brother Hai, what did those guys come here for?” Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “They wanted to see what kind of person I am. Then they asked me about how I plan to deal with the Divine Race. Not too complicated, just normal stuff.”
Laura nodded, “It looks like they’re quite satisfied. So Brother Hai, what do we do?” Zhao Hai replied, “Earlier I expressed my interest on these ultimate weapons. I can’t wait to meet them in the battlefield. I wanted to see if they can add more functions to the ship.” As soon as they heard this, Laura and the others chuckled.
The next day, Zhao Hai still kept advancing into the Taurus Continent. Although their speed wasn’t as fast as before, their stable advance caused the Divines to get a headache.
On the other hand, Fang and the others felt their horizons expand. The Hell King’s ship was more powerful than they imagined. Although they already received reports from Fei’er and the others, witnessing the ship themselves was a completely different thing.
Five days after Fang and the others met Zhao Hai, information arrived from the Foreign God-ranks. The ones delivering the message were still Ryder and the others. They told Zhao Hai that they agree to the alliance. They also agreed to Zhao Hai’s proposal of not attacking the Taurus Continent in order to prevent the other continents from joining the war. But if the other continents sent their troops, then the Foreign God-ranks would send troops to their continent, supporting Zhao Hai in the background.
After Ryder and the others reported the details, Zhao Hai began to attack the Taurus Continent according to his original plan. This time, he didn’t advance slowly. He sped his movements to force the Divines to use their ultimate weapon.
Zhao Hai’s plan was successful. On the tenth day after he formed his alliance with the Foreign God-ranks, the Divine Race dispatched their ultimate weapon.
At this time, Zhao Hai was attacking a Divine Race City. The shield of the city was broken in an instant as the undead started to pour in. Zhao Hai stood at his ship while looking at the battle, the Foreign God-ranks were at his side.
After giving their report to Zhao Hai, Ryder and the others didn’t leave. Instead, they followed Zhao Hai at the side. They saw Zhao Hai breaking defensive shields one after another. The Divines who weren’t taken away were turned into undead.
In the beginning, they were shocked upon seeing this. But after a few more cities, they began to become numb to the scene. Only one thing remained in their hearts, it was to never have Zhao Hai as an enemy.
At this moment, Zhao Hai suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from the distance. Aside from Lu Wei, Zhao Hai hadn’t felt a stronger presence like this one before.
A light flashed inside Zhao Hai’s eyes. Then he turned his head to Ryder and the others and said, “Everyone, it seems like the Taurus Divines had sent their ultimate weapon. Please disembark from the ship. I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of you once the fighting starts. Moreover, it’s likely that you would get injured if you stay here.”
The status of Ryder and the others wasn’t low, so they were privy to the information about the Divine Race’s ultimate weapons. Therefore, once they heard Zhao Hai, their expression changed. Then after giving him a salute, they proceeded to leave the ship. After that, Zhao Hai urged his ship to go forward and meet the powerful aura.
Zhao Hai thought that the ultimate weapon of the Divine Race must be very large and powerful. But when he saw it, he couldn’t help but feel shocked. The ultimate weapon was too small!
There was a normal cow sized metallic bull, its four hooves solidly stepping on the air. On the back of this bull was a person. The person’s clothes, hair, and beard were all white. He was quite big and tall. Although he looked like an old person, one could still feel a ferocious aura coming out of him.
Zhao Hai stopped the Hell King’s Ship and looked at the approaching bull-riding person. At this point he was doubting whether this was the ultimate weapon or not.
The old person stopped about a hundred meters away from the ship. He looked at Zhao Hai and calmly asked, “Are you Zhao Hai?” Zhao Hai looked at the old person and smiled, “Correct. I am Zhao Hai. And who are you?”
The old person replied, “Kid, you actually dared to cause trouble in my Taurus Continent. Now that I’m here, it’s time to make you understand that someone from a lower realm had no right to do whatever you want in this place.” ZHao Hai looked at the old person and smiled, “Cause trouble? From what I know, it’s the Divines causing troubles in places where they shouldn’t be. And you want to teach me a lesson? And how would you do that? Using your ultimate weapon? To be honest, I have been waiting for this day. But I didn’t expect you to come this late, I’m very disappointed.” The old person’s expression didn’t change. But Zhao Hai can see a slight disturbance in his beard. It seems like his ego was pricked.
Zhao Hai can guess why this was the case, it must be because of the ultimate weapon. There weren’t many people in the Divine Realm who were aware of these artifacts. Moreover, those who knew would keep it as a secret. And now, Zhao Hai even dared to insult it. It’s no wonder the old man was affected.
Zhao Hai did it intentionally because he was still unsure if the old man with the metal bull was the ultimate weapon. Because of this, he probed to see if his speculation was true. And it seems like he hit the mark. Zhao Hai can confirm that the metallic bull was indeed their ultimate weapon.
The old man looked at Zhao Hai and said with an ice cold voice, “I didn’t expect to see the day where a person from the lower realm would insult me like this. Since there’s no use in talking further, it’s time for you to die!” Then the old person waved his hand. Zhao Hai saw a very small formation plate appear. At the same time, Zhao Hai was suddenly found himself surrounded with nearly 20 Domain Weapon experts.
The Domain Weapons were ten spears, five swords, and five shields. Although their size was nothing compared to the Hell King’s ship, they were still Domain Weapons, their strength couldn’t be weak.
