Chapter 145: Sea Spirit Beast Attacks, Imperial Concubines Take Action

The Holy Spirit Empire's invincible fleet, consisting of thirty-six ferocious steel behemoths, set sail from the empire's eastern coast, like a peerless, unsheathed sword, heading straight for the legendary divine realm deep in the vast sea—Seagod Island!

The bow of the flagship "Shihuang" was cast from a single piece of ancient black iron and engraved with an incomparably domineering ancestral dragon totem.

Xue Lingxiao stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a black and gold imperial robe with dragon patterns. The sea breeze blew his long black hair, but it could not dispel the supreme majesty of his reign.

Beside him, Qian Renxue, dressed in a pale gold palace gown, her phoenix crown adorned with shimmering pearls, stood quietly by his side. Her sacred and majestic golden eyes reflected only the man's profile.

The fleet had been sailing for seven days and had already ventured deep into the open sea.

The color of the seawater here changed from the azure of the nearshore waters to a deep, inky black, as if concealing countless unknown terrors.

Beneath the calm surface of the sea, turbulent currents surge and deadly dangers lurk.

"Your Majesty, signs of a large number of soul beasts have been detected in the sea ahead, and the scale is enormous."

Zhao Zilong, clad in silver armor, walked up behind Xue Lingxiao and reported in a deep voice. His hand rested on his spear, his expression solemn, and his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Xue Lingxiao didn't turn around, but simply gave a faint "hmm".

To him, mere sea spirit beasts were nothing more than a few stumbling blocks on his journey, not even worth a second glance.

Suddenly, the seawater a hundred meters below the Zhenyuan, the lead ship of the fleet, began to surge violently without warning, like a pot of boiling water!
A colossal shadow rose rapidly from the depths of the sea!
"Roar--!"

A terrifying roar filled with savagery and violence came from the seabed, stirring up towering waves that crashed against the sturdy Xuanjing iron armor of the "Zhenyuan" ship, producing a deafening roar!

Immediately afterwards, an incomparably ferocious and enormous head suddenly burst through the surface of the sea! It was a terrifying sea spirit beast with a body length of over thirty meters, its entire body radiating a gray-black metallic luster.

Its two enormous eyes, like two blood-red suns, were filled with bloodlust and madness!
"It's a 100,000-year-old demonic tiger whale!" an Imperial Soul Master standing on the deck, on guard duty, exclaimed in horror.

This demonic killer whale clearly saw the steel fleet that had intruded into its territory as prey to feast on.

It opened its gaping maw, large enough to swallow a small boat whole, and a blue beam of light containing terrifying water energy, like a divine light of judgment, crashed down on the "Zhenyuan"!
The captain of the Zhenyuan, an experienced Soul Warrior, changed his expression drastically in the face of this sudden and devastating attack, but did not panic.

He shouted sternly, "Attention all ships! Activate defensive formations! Prepare soul-guided cannons!"

"Om-!"

On the Zhenyuan's Xuanjing Iron Armor, countless runes suddenly lit up, and a thick energy shield instantly opened, enveloping the entire warship.

boom!
The blue beam of light slammed into the energy shield, creating towering waves!
The shield flickered violently, but it ultimately withstood the terrifying blow that was enough to severely damage or even sink an ordinary warship!
"You ignorant beast!"

Seeing this, the captain of the Zhenyuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He waved his hand sharply and shouted, "Fire! Blast it to pieces!"

On both sides of the warship, the muzzles of dozens of soul-guided cannons simultaneously flashed with blinding light! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Dozens of thick beams of energy, trailing long tails of flame, intertwined to form a net of death, completely covering the massive body of the demonic orca!

"Ow—!"

The demonic orca let out a shrill scream. Its proud and sturdy shell was as fragile as paper in front of these specially designed armor-piercing soul-guided cannons, and was easily torn and pierced!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and blue blood gushed out like a fountain, dyeing a large area of ​​the sea an eerie color. This overlord, who had been ruling the sea for many years, hadn't even had time to unleash more of its innate soul skills before being brought to the brink of death by a volley of fire, its massive body writhing in agony on the surface of the sea.

However, this is just the beginning.

The screams of that demonic killer whale seemed to be a signal.

The sea around the fleet began to explode one after another!

One after another, massive and uniquely shaped powerful sea spirit beasts emerged from the deep sea! A swarm of ancient demonic great white sharks with sharp, razor-sharp teeth!
A thousand-year-old ghostly octopus with dense tentacles that can release highly toxic ink!
There were even a few other terrifying beings whose size was comparable to that of the demonic orca, and which were also at the level of 100,000 years old!
They formed a massive sea spirit beast legion, completely surrounding the entire Holy Spirit Fleet, each one eyeing the others menacingly, exuding murderous intent.

"Well done!"

On the flagship "First Emperor", Ma Xiaotao looked at the magnificent scene before her, but instead of showing any fear, her beautiful phoenix eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.

She volunteered, saying, "Your Majesty, why should you personally deal with these mere sea monsters? I am willing to clear away these obstacles for Your Majesty!"

Before Xue Lingxiao could speak, Shui Bing'er said coldly, "Sister Yanfei is absolutely right. Let us handle these beasts."

Xue Lingxiao remained silent, only nodding slightly in tacit agreement.

Having received permission, Ma Xiaotao could no longer contain herself. With a delicate shout, she transformed into a blazing phoenix flame and soared into the sky!

"Seventh Soul Skill, Phoenix True Form!"

A colossal fire phoenix with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters materialized in mid-air! The terrifying heat even caused the seawater below to boil!
"The sixth soul skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!"

With a flap of its wings, the Fire Phoenix unleashed countless fireballs burning with raging flames, like a meteor shower, crashing down upon the sea spirit beast army below!
boom! boom! boom!
Explosions rang out one after another. Each fiery meteor that fell blasted a huge hole in the sea, killing or severely injuring several or even dozens of sea spirit beasts!
Shui Bing'er's figure also floated up, and her first and second spirit rings lit up at the same time!
"Frozen!"

"Ice Ring Armor!"

The extreme cold emanated from her and spread wildly in all directions!

The sea surface began to freeze at a visible speed, and countless sea spirit beasts that were preparing to attack the fleet were instantly frozen into lifelike ice sculptures!
At the same time, icy blue halos spread out from her body, precisely enveloping each Imperial Soul Master in the fleet who was preparing for battle, providing them with powerful defense.

"Sisters, it's our turn!" Kadan shouted, exchanged a glance with Fengling, and the two attacked at the same time.

In an instant, thunder and evil fire intertwined, and sword energy and spear light crisscrossed!

On the fleet, thousands of Imperial Soul Masters, who had been eager to fight, unleashed their Soul Skills under the leadership of the Empresses, launching a merciless massacre against the sea Soul Beasts trapped in the ice or scorched by flames!

This is no longer a closely contested battle.

It was not a one-sided military exercise showcasing the powerful military might of the Holy Spirit Empire!
Just then, a fleet of more than a dozen simply designed ships flying skull and crossbones flags appeared on the distant horizon.

"Big brother! Look! There seems to be a big fish ahead!" a one-eyed pirate shouted excitedly to his ship's leader.

The burly pirate leader, with a face full of scars, picked up a monocular telescope and looked into the distance.

When he saw the massive steel fleet, as large as a moving mountain, and the hellish carnage surrounding it, the greed and excitement on his face froze instantly, replaced by endless fear!
