Chapter 663 The Ancient Heavenly Court, Zhenhai Guard
The leader of the Spirit Array Beast Taming Division, Xuan Cheng Golden-Winged Roc, swooped down, flicking out three thousand jade talismans inscribed with wind and thunder from his sleeve: "The remnant array of Tianhai Pavilion has been reactivated, and the five hundred Golden-Winged Riders of the Spirit Array Division have sealed off the airspace!"

Thunderwing Tiger Rider roared in the clouds, and starlight fell as its claws trod on the clouds. "Reporting to the Marquis, the remnant array of the Zhou Tian Stars covers the entire island, and the escape route of the Xuanjia Turtle horde has been blocked. Forty-nine Grandmaster-level Beast Tamers can launch a beast tide counterattack at any time!"

Unbeknownst to them, the cooperation between the three departments became increasingly smooth.

Zhang Yuan waved his hand.

"All troops, attack!"

Yu Wanjun let out a long shout and ran forward with his knife in hand.

The 50,000 new soldiers roared in unison, their shouts causing thousands of water columns to erupt from the sea.

The three departments of the Zhen Tian Division have already sealed off Zhenhai Island. The new army will be harvesting water monsters once they land on the island. What are they afraid of?
In this kind of battle situation, the new army only felt the will to fight, not the fear.

"boom--"

The runes at the base of the bronze pillar lit up one by one, and the entire Zhenhai Island began to sink into the lava cave.

This hunt seemed to be a blood sacrifice designed by Zhang Yuan to activate the ancient Zhenhai Pillar!
As the army charged forward, Zhang Yuan's gaze fell upon Zhenhai Island ahead, as if he could see through the illusory barrier at a glance.

"My lord, the ruins beneath Zhenhai Island are..." Yin Jiuyou lowered his voice and spoke softly.

--------------

As the dark blue seabed rock layers peeled away, ancient seal script emerged like a swimming dragon.

The base of the bronze pillar reveals a twelve-zhang square underwater altar, and the six-zhang ancient seal script characters "镇海卫戍疆处" (meaning "Guarding the Sea and Garrisoning the Frontier") are clearly engraved on the mottled rock wall.

"Zhenhai Guard!" Seven golden rays suddenly burst forth from the star-fixing disc in Zhen Xuan's hand. "The ancient Heavenly Court's coastal defense force mentioned in the 'Commentary on the Waterways Classic of Qin'!"

The six characters "镇海卫戍疆处" (Zhenhai Weishu Jiangchu) on the mottled base of the bronze pillar emitted a faint starlight, and the demon blood in the lava cave boiled and surged as if it had encountered its natural enemy.

The Corrupting Heavenly Poison Banner thrown by Yao Puti was thrown back and reversed. The seventy-two elites of the Secret Medicine Division simultaneously spat out blood. The six ancient seal characters actually drained all the poisonous miasma across three thousand feet of rock!
Suppressing demons, and suppressing mystery!

This is the power to suppress the sea!
"This inscription..." Zhen Xuan's fingertip star chart cracked in a spiderweb pattern, and he exclaimed in a low voice, "It was actually forged by the divine craftsmanship of the ancient Heavenly Court!"

Zhang Yuan pressed down on the trembling scabbard of the Dragon Sparrow Blade at his waist, his eyes reflecting the illusion of the thirty-six heavens slowly gathering in the void.

The fragments of memory that had been suppressed by the bronze pillars for 100,000 years finally awakened, piecing together the shattered truth of the ancient catastrophe into a breathtaking picture.

At that time, the heavens were divided into four poles, and a great demon from the primordial era, carrying the miasma of the Nine Netherworlds, invaded and devoured the Nine Continents.

The 365 star lords of the ancient Heavenly Court forged 36,000 "Buzhou Iron" pillars, which were made by melting meteorites from outer space and the poisonous fire from the earth's lungs.

The Great Sage Yu, wielding the Mountain-Driving Whip, is none other than the eighth-generation Halberd Bearer of Zhenhai Guard!

Thirty-six bronze halberds covered in coral were stuck diagonally among the ruins. When Yuchi Changshan pulled them out, he found that the "Dividing the Sea" rune on the blade lit up on its own.

Where the tide swept by, the rust-removed tip of the halberd suddenly shot out three feet of dark blue energy, cleaving through the surging waves as if cutting fermented bean curd.

"This is the Zhenhai War Halberd!" Yuwen Guyang, the master craftsman of the Ministry of Works, stroked the bronze patterns with trembling hands. "Legend has it that the halberd was soaked in the heart blood of a black tortoise, which can resonate with the ocean tides!"

As the group ventured deeper into the collapsed earth veins, they discovered seven imposing Xuanwu armored figures in the center of the nest where the nine-headed Xuanjiao was located.

The bronze armor plates were covered with water-controlling talismans from the Dragon Palace, and the water-repelling beads inlaid on the shoulder armor were emitting starlight.

"Try it on!" As soon as Chen Dahu, a fierce soldier of the new army, fastened the Lion Barbarian Wristguards, the underwater undercurrents suddenly condensed into a vortex of armor that enveloped his entire body.

The eight-clawed demon general, thirty feet away, suddenly shrieked and retreated, its wrists and feet oozing a sticky, fearful liquid.

Chu Zhaonan lightly flicked the crevice in the rock with his sword, revealing half of a broken stone tablet.

The moment the Nine Yang Sword Qi was injected, tens of thousands of Zhenhai Guard training array diagrams exploded in the sea of ​​consciousness.

"Starry Sky Formation!"

He staggered back half a step, just in time to see the Sea-Covering Pearl in Nie Duanqiu's palm resonating mysteriously with the Sea-Suppressing Halberd. "Xiao Chuan, intercept its right flank!"

Chen Dahu roared and threw out the Demon-Locking Chain, and the poisonous spider patterns that appeared on the surface of the Xuan Turtle Shield suddenly came to life.

Zhao Xiaochuan spun rapidly using the "Xuanji Step" taught by the Spirit Array Division, the newly acquired Zhenhai Halberd trailing a dark blue tail, scraping sparks in an arc across the sea monster's belly armor.

Just three days ago, the rookie was being chased by the Bone-Eating Fish and crying for his parents, but now he can use the horn of his shield to block the iron claws of the Demon Crab.

As the eerie light of the Sea-Covering Pearl swept across the compound eyes, the two threw out a poisonous fire thunderbolt that rolled precisely into the gap in the carapace.

"boom!"

As Chen Dahu ignited the specially made explosive talisman of the Demon Suppression Division, the new recruit sergeant Wang Tiezhu led his three brothers to form the "Three Talents Formation" and press forward.

The five Xuan Turtle Shields, arranged in a pattern on their shells, emitted a blue light, which flipped the eight-zhang-tall Xuan Turtle of the Sea onto its back.

"The vast ocean divides!"

Seven illusory stars surrounded Chu Zhaonan, and the sword intent he had comprehended from the Zhenhai Stele last night poured out like a waterfall.

As the sword flashed, the lightning-attribute demon core of the Nine-Headed Black Dragon clone suddenly went out of control and exploded, creating an excellent opportunity for Nie Duanqiu's Overturning Sea Triple Slash.

With trembling hands, the young swordsman Li Yunye formed a hand seal, using the "Star Lock Poison Dragon Technique" that Elder Lin had hastily taught him to condense the Corrosive Heaven Poisonous Mist of the Secret Medicine Division into the shape of a sword sheath.

When the first wisp of poisonous miasma entangled the natal sword "Azure Frost," the entire Nine Yang Sword Formation suddenly turned emerald green, turning the three Xuanhuo Flood Dragons that were trying to break through into glass statues.

"Pay attention to the direction of the lightning pattern!"

Elder Pei Lie's voice echoed across the boiling battlefield.

Nie Duanqiu discovered that the runes on the Zhenhai Halberd in his hand were in harmony with the Sword Sect's "Nine Yangs Spreading Across the Plains" technique, and thus poured the pure Yang sword energy he had cultivated for thirty-six years into the halberd.

Mu Changchuan, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Works, walked briskly, accompanied by several craftsmen and demon-suppressing guards from the Demon-Suppressing Bureau.

They were going to repair the Zhenhai Bronze Pillar on Zhenhai Island.

"Master craftsman, why are the spirit patterns here similar to those on the artifacts forged in the weapon-refining hall a while ago?" Master craftsman Li Yu looked around and murmured in confusion.

The other craftsmen beside him also nodded.

“That long spear seems to be... it seems to have been recently made by the forging camp…” another craftsman said in a low voice.

Mu Changchuan turned his head and glanced at it, then said calmly, "Don't overthink it. The Marquis's arrangements all have a deeper meaning."

The two craftsmen beside him exchanged a glance, bowed slightly, and smiled.

Why was Tuoba Guyang willing to accompany Qingyang Hou on a hunting expedition in the East China Sea?

Wasn't it the things sent to the weapon-refining hall a month ago that attracted him?

In fact, Marquis Qingyang had already visited Zhenhai Island a month ago.

“That is the Zhenhai Stele.”

A demon-suppressing envoy pointed to a mottled stone tablet in the ruins ahead, the inscription on which was already blurred and illegible.

The Demon-Locking Tower on Mo Xuan's shoulder whistled and rose upside down, as eight hundred demon souls transformed into streams of light and surged into the inscription.

Everyone could clearly see the image of Zhenhaiwei that appeared in it: those armored warriors wearing star and moon armor stood on the giant Bixi beast, with bronze chains extending from their spines straight to the seabed.

Using their own life essence as a guide, they forged 3,600 islands and 36,000 pillars in the East China Sea to suppress the Nine-Headed Xuanjiao Ancestor, who was about to transform into a dragon, and sealed him in the Guixu Abyss.

This is Zhenhaiwei.
