CHAPTER 679: CHAPTER 404: A NEW DIVINE ATTRIBUTE FRAGMENT

"From today onwards, our Mermaid Clan will follow you to the death!"

The echoing sound reverberated in all directions, with waves and bubbles tumbling.

Each and every Mermaid Warrior was taken aback, full of astonishment.

But very quickly,

after hearing Della’s oath and thinking of the power of that young man in black within the palace.

The countless rescues and aids provided by him, dispelling dangers, continuously surfaced in their minds.

Strangely, they found that there was no barrier or rejection in their hearts.

"I, Thor!"

"Am willing to follow Lord Feng Chen to the death!"

A Mermaid Warrior holding a spear came to his senses, quickly spoke up in support, eyes filled with excitement and hope.

Seeing this, the other mermaids also came to their senses and responded similarly in succession.

"I, Gred, vow to follow Lord Feng Chen to the death!"

"I, Pus, vow to pledge allegiance..."

Voices resounded one after another, with invisible ripples echoing through the seawater.

Upon witnessing this scene, the Grey Shark Saint on the deck of the colossal sea vessel slightly frowned, while the Fire Crab Saint behind him completely lost patience.

"Playing tricks!"

With a slight sneer, his figure vanished.

And when he reappeared,

Boom!!

The Mermaid Clan Territory quaked violently, and the scarlet coral clusters shook and trembled.

A straight stream of water, hundreds of meters long, turned into a deep scar, and a burly four-meter-tall half-human landed on the ground outside the palace door.

Boom!!

A deep pit erupted, and cracks spread across the solid reef floor.

The Mermaid Warriors’ faces changed drastically, their bodies swayed, nearly falling.

Jia Ta immediately manipulated the water currents to form a watery prison, intending to bind it.

However...

Boom boom boom!!

It was as if subterranean magma had emerged, and the half-human’s crimson crab armor surged with high heat.

The massive explosive power compressed to a point, and the robust crab claws suddenly thrust forward, piercing through the water barrier.

In the next moment,

he disappeared in a straight line, charging towards the palace.

Whoosh!!

The roaring sonic boom tore through everything, and the scorching blaze turned the water into a cloud of white steam.

Della and Lei Long, narrowly grazed by the rush, both had their pupils constrict and hurriedly turned to look.

Encased in crimson, like being wrapped in magma, the Fire Crab Saint had already dashed into the hall, but the young man in black still sat calmly, leaning against the silver Coral Throne.

"So it’s a human."

The Fire Crab Saint sneered, but a trace of wariness and vigilance flashed in his eyes.

The Mermaid Clan was not foolish. Since they dared to choose to follow him, it certainly indicated that his strength was not weak.

What he needed to do was to probe the other’s strength, making it easier to join forces with the Grey Shark to kill him later.

Whoosh!!

Instantly, the tremendous explosion brought by high-temperature compression surged once more!

Obviously still in mid-air, but he suddenly spun and accelerated, the overlapping crab claws like a drill tearing through all the resistance of the water flow.

"Die!!"

The intimidating roar pierced the Spiritual Will, the Fire Crab Saint’s sneer icy, with his claws directed straight at Chen Feng’s forehead.

At the moment when it seemed inevitable, in the final half-foot of distance,

Boom!!

An explosion of blood splattered, and his wide-open crab eyes rolled.

The circular water ripples expanded and swept, with bits of crimson crab armor debris flying backward, at a speed faster than when it came, smashing through the palace door and shattering the external reefs.

Crash crash!

Boom!

The sound of shattering reefs rose sharply, and the entire area around the palace fell instantly silent.

The Grey Shark Saint on the ocean vessel had his pupils constrict, and the hundreds of Fishman Warriors’ bodies stiffened, only feeling the crab shell remains amidst the rubble were so glaring.

"Dead... Dead?"

A strong being at the Saint Rank like the Fire Crab Saint, just died like that?

A sense of disbelief arose.

But the only response to them was the steady sound of footsteps.

Tap!

Tap tap!!

Chen Feng, clad in a black trench coat, walked out slowly, wisps of Fishman blood continuously evaporating.

Until at last,

he reached the palace entrance.

Every Mermaid was incomparably excited, possessing both reverence for the strong and loyalty to the master they followed.

Chen Feng was exceptionally calm about this, merely gazing indifferently at the colossal sea vessel above.

The Talent of the Sea Gate gave him more thoughts.

Therefore, he didn’t mind subduing the Mermaid Clan, gaining more subordinates and power in this world.

Immediately, he slightly raised his head.

Eyes meeting the shocked and doubtful Grey Shark Saint.

"Now, I give you a choice."

"Submit, or die."

The low voice landed, a chill of anger and coldness surged within the Grey Shark Saint’s heart.

"May I ask who you are?"

"This is a private matter between the Fishman Tribe and the Mermaid Clan..."

Whoosh!!

The threatening words were left unfinished, as the ocean water molded into a white vapor arrow.

The Grey Shark Saint’s heart trembled, with a sidelong glimpse sensing shadows blocking the sea’s light.

The Fishman Warriors were all shocked, the black-clad human had somehow already appeared behind him.

"I don’t like your answer."

"I..."

Boom!!

Fist strike.

Fishman blood surged and mixed with seawater.

The exploded Grey Shark half-human body turned into countless pieces of flesh flying everywhere, but soon absorbed and disappeared under an invisible force, leaving only specks of dust.

During this, a wisp of black mist seeped from the Grey Shark’s corpse, causing Chen Feng to narrow his eyes slightly.

It was the same situation as when the Fire Crab Saint died.

Thoughts flashed by, and he turned his head to look.

On the deck of the ocean giant ship, hundreds of Fishman Warriors were deeply fearful, some instinctively stepping back, no longer maintaining their previous iron-blooded solemnity.

For a moment, he glanced at those pairs of eyes gradually losing their color, changing from scarlet to normal Fishman eyes.

Chen Feng pondered, again sensing a faint trace of the Evil God’s power.

.....

Splash!

Waves rolled, ripples unseen.

In the huge gorge under the sea, dark rocky reefs like cliffs were situated on both sides.

Many holes spread like underground houses, and there were layers of rocky roads continuously spiraling upwards.

Hundreds, even thousands, of creatures with fish heads, crab heads, or possessing octopus tentacles roamed, all wearing sturdy scale armor, holding spears and sharp blades, patrolling the surroundings.

"The ocean tide has indeed disappeared."

"The reason hasn’t been identified, but it should be due to some energy mutation. Therefore, the Church people should arrive ahead of time."

A somewhat dignified voice sounded from the center of the gorge, where there was a black palace made of reef.

Several Saints of the Fishman Clan appeared here, either sitting in humanoid form on stone seats or transforming into massive orca and turtle forms.

"Then it seems we must hurry, we cannot let the Church people notice the seal problem..."

A Saint resembling a Centaur, with long gray whiskers, spoke in a deep voice.

Following his gaze, one could see a wide open space behind the palace exposed to the ocean.

It was a sea eye several hundred meters in size, deep and dark like a pit.

An invisible light curtain covered the surface, supposed to be flawless, but now a gap appeared, constantly releasing black mist.

The other two Saints nodded in agreement, understanding the massive consequences if this issue was discovered.

"No worries."

However, at the main seat of the palace, a Half-shark in black attire shook his head.

Slightly waving his hand, a black orb appeared out of nowhere, floating in front of him.

Inside, an angular dark light crystal flickered, continuously emitting a bizarre glow.

"The Upper Envoy has informed me of the situation, someone will block the Church people."

"Wait until Grey Shark and Fire Crab return, using the Mermaid Clan as a sacrifice, then the problem can be perfectly solved."

"Even, it may add another Saint to us."

As the words fell, several Saints present breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone glanced at the black orb, eyes filled with reverence, a hint of fervent devotion flashing by.

For a moment, the black palace returned to dignity and silence.

Fishman Warriors held spears, patrolling the exterior, the Sea Split Canyon swallowed the surrounding seawater like an abyss.

This scene lasted for quite a while.

Until.

"Why haven’t Grey Shark and the others returned?"

A Saint asked in confusion, the massive orca creature also opened its eyes.

"Could it be the Mermaid Clan has other foundations, holding them back?"

He thought of the previous fates of the two human Saints, Youren and Blood Sea.

"It shouldn’t be."

The gray-whiskered Centaur Saint calmly shook his head, saying confidently, "Grey Shark and Fire Crab were blessed by the Upper Envoy, their strength in the Saint Rank counts as strong."

"Their strength is not comparable to the likes of Youren and Blood Sea."

During the conversation, water flow fluctuations suddenly came from outside the Sea Split Canyon.

Several Saints sensed it, seeing a huge ocean giant ship slowly approaching.

The ship body seemed crafted from reefs, and its prow like a dragon.

Flags fluttered in the water, giant oars resembling fins moved up and down, pushing the large ship forward.

Hundreds of Fishman Warriors remained intact, surrounded by dozens of Mermaids.

"See, I told you."

The Centaur Saint stroked his gray whiskers, smiling.

Several Saints nodded in agreement, about to respond.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, a gaze fixed.

They quickly realized something was wrong, concentrating again on the increasingly closer ocean giant ship.

Fishman Warriors’ faces were stiff, Grey Shark and Fire Crab were nowhere to be seen.

The young Mermaid supposed to be branded as a slave showed no injuries, instead wearing armor, holding a spear and sharp blade, fully armed.

Furthermore, there was even a dark blue Octopus Giant Beast following the giant ship swiftly.

"What’s going on..."

"Where are Grey Shark and Fire Crab?"

Feeling something amiss, several Saints felt a chill, frowning in alert.

Massive orca and turtle creatures moved out, several Fishman Warriors were alerted, blocking the gorge entrance, and watching vigilantly.

As the ocean giant ship approached slowly, rolling waves rippled.

But unexpectedly, no matter how they searched.

They couldn’t find the two Saints, Grey Shark and Fire Crab.

Instead, a black-clad human stood at the forefront of the deck, looking down at them indifferently.

Slivers of black gas rose at the gorge entrance, all the Fishmen showed scarlet eyes and abnormal conditions.

Slightly narrowing his eyes, Chen Feng felt the Evil God’s power here was extraordinarily strong.

Even more, he gazed farther towards the black palace below.

In front of the cold-eyed Half-shark in black, the floating black orb continuously emitted bizarre light.

The angular crystal inside flickered, surprisingly making him feel inexplicably familiar.

It seemed... to be a Divine shard?
