Once the Dragon Realm is destroyed, Lord Ancestor Dragon will be free to easily deal with these Blue Star ants...

...

At the same time.

At an underwater base, a shadowy figure sits atop a high platform, with a skeleton bird and an extinguished flame rock giant standing below.

The shadow’s voice is leisurely, yet carries a sharp edge:

"Are you saying that the Purgatory Divine Master wants to cooperate with our master to help him retrieve some kind of banner?"

The rock giant felt stifled underwater, and the skeleton bird cawed loudly:

"There’s no need to trouble Lord Ancestor Dragon, as long as you, Lord Mo Jue, are willing to lend a hand!

Retrieve the Red Refining Banner, and the Divine Master will surely reward you generously!"

The monster bird wasn’t foolish. It knew the mention of Lord Ancestor Dragon was intended to raise the "reward," and it understood this clearly.

The physical form of Ancestor Dragon is invincible in the Cosmos, but he is not proficient with soul techniques, and his forced condensed clone is trapped in the dimensional interlayer realm.

Therefore, even if Ancestor Dragon is troubled, he doesn’t have many means to exercise in the mortal world...

Shh—

A giant claw pierced through the black mist, slowly rising.

Mo Jue rubbed his chin, staring at the two demons below the great hall.

He grinned and pretended to be generous:

"Fine, I’ll first let my human subordinates search for it."

The skeleton bird flapped its bone wings, carefully saying:

"Could you... act personally?"

Mo Jue possessed a divine power exceptionally suited for finding the Red Refining Banner, and he also held the status of a Divine Son.

This was the key reason the two demons had traveled such great distances.

Mo Jue smiled secretly, having known long ago that these two characters would be unable to hold back.

He rubbed his hands, chuckling:

"I can...

But the price needs to increase, I require plenty of emotional power."

Came to Blue Star just for resources!

He also wanted to break through the sixth and shatter the mundane shackles to achieve the immortal body of a god!

...

Around four in the afternoon.

The sky along the lower course of the Weishui River had turned a dense leaden gray.

Especially on the water’s surface, it looked like ink, filled with an unyielding darkness.

Bang—

The searchlights of large machinery lit up, casting on the water’s surface, where the scarlet eyes of the pig-dragon group reflected a bloodthirsty gaze.

Their bodies were submerged underwater, with only their backs floating on the surface.

Under the searchlights, they resembled a continuous mountain of darkness.

Bang bang bang—

In the distance, countless Defense Army soldiers wielding hot weapons drew their guns and fired, while distant artillery rumbled and bombarded, creating a barrage that prevented these monsters from landing.

A person resembling an officer stood by the searchlights, shouting to the martial artist crowd below:

"All below the Martial Arts Family personnel who came to support, go to the munitions office to receive pills to replenish physical strength and energy potions, as well as guns!

Follow orders to shoot from a distance behind the troops, do not go into the water, I repeat, do not go into the water!"

Among the arriving teams, nine-tenths of the people hearing his words naturally turned right to receive supplies and weapons from the munitions office, willingly becoming members suppressing the crocodile group from landing.

Only a small portion continued forward, standing below the officer’s high platform.

These people each wielded weapons, armored and helmeted.

Fully armed, they exuded an extraordinary aura.

Some even had fire emanating from their bodies, and others had the shadow of a giant ape appearing behind them, beating their chests and roaring at the heavens and earth.

[Shaking Mountain Ape·Long Jiu] as an official personnel among the support, carried a medicine barrel and walked briskly from the end to the front of the line, distributing suitable martial family pills.

"When it’s our turn to go into the water, remember to keep the Water-Closing Pill in your mouth, remember, don’t swallow it!"

The Water-Closing Pill is a pill that works when held in the mouth, continuously producing oxygen.

No martial arts grandmaster present, those not adept in the Water Attribute cannot hold their breath underwater for long, making this pill particularly important in countering water monsters.

Everyone took the pill, some clutching it in their palm, while those with storage treasures stored it in their waist belt, all looking solemn.

The sound of artillery roared, countless pig-dragons were blasted belly-up, followed by precision laser bullets that gutted them.

Among these celestial demons, the middle rank ones sank in fear to the bottom of the water, while the upper rank ones bared their fangs but dared not advance.

Only the three long pig-dragons, each a hundred meters long, in the rear took over the front position, pressing towards the shore under heavy fire.

Someone was directing these unwise celestial demons...

The officer held his breath and concentrated but could not locate the mastermind causing the rapid rise in demonic qi concentration.

These three third-rank great demons were formidable, but not enough to raise the demonic qi concentration to approach the fourth rank.

Therefore, he did not give the order, silently waiting.

The crowd under the platform was silent, tension permeating the air.

With great power comes great responsibility, these hundred or so martial arts families were today’s main force in removing underwater demons!

Long Jiu cleared his throat, breaking the silence:

"When we go into the water later, everyone should do what they are capable of. Most of you are students, remember, do not fight to the death, save that last breath; it might save your life!

Target middle ranks with your first limit, deal with upper ranks with the second limit, Cui Kai, Chen Jing, Xu... those of you in the third limit, follow me, see those three large crocodiles?"

Long Jiu extended his furry ape arm, making a throat-cutting gesture.

Several people nodded, among them, the youthful figures of Cui Kai, Chen Jing, and others from United University stood out with different auras, contrasting sharply with the society’s martial arts families.

As time slowly passed, the three great demons were about to land, and the deluge of firepower could only crack their scales and leave bullet marks.

Achieving lethal damage was not something these light hot weapons could accomplish.

The officer seeing this, it was time to call these martial arts families in "trial" to go under the water.
