Inside the cocoon, Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul smiled and said, "Xiaogu, how do you like my suggestion, huh?"
Gu Qingcheng gave a thumbs-up, "It’s awesome!"
"Only after hearing Xiao Ye’s praise did I realize, I, the Hang City Empress, was actually a thoughtful and caring woman after all."
Gu Qingcheng’s divine soul asked, "So, are you willing to be a thoughtful and caring woman?"
Without a second thought, Gu Qingcheng replied, "I am."
"For Xiao Ye, I, Gu Qingcheng, am willing to be a gentle and virtuous woman!"
"Earlier, I was nothing like when I go crazy fighting ferocious beasts, but I had my own special feeling—*it was a different kind of experience altogether*."
Outside the Bronze Hall, Jiang Xue’an followed two King Beasts and arrived above the only landmass on Sea Blue Star.
As soon as they got there, both beasts and the person all changed expressions.
This guardian species existed inside a Secret Realm.
But at the Secret Realm’s entrance, more than a hundred different types of Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts had gathered.
The Sea Beasts attacked together, unleashing a terrifying aura and blasted toward the sealed entrance of the Secret Realm.
After cracks appeared on the Secret Realm’s entrance, ten late-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts entered, while the remaining middle and early-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts attacked the entrance again together.
Once the entrance cracked open, all the middle and early-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts slipped inside, entering the land-based Secret Realm.
Jiang Xue’an watched those Sea Beasts enter the land Secret Realm, frowning as she said,
"Those Sea Beasts look really familiar."
"Aren’t those leaders and warriors under my command from the Sea Blue Star ocean?"
The Magma King Beast and the Ice Beast King changed expressions, looking grim as they said, "Ancestor, I’m afraid these Sea Beasts are trying to forcibly take the Dark God from the guardian land Sea Beast tribe."
"!" Jiang Xue’an felt a little embarrassed—those Sea Beasts had followed her orders to look for the Dark God in the first place.
Now that they were attacking the land Secret Realm that guarded the Dark God, it was basically her order behind the assault.
"Uh, let’s hurry up and get into the Secret Realm. With so many Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts attacking the Rock Guardian Sea Beasts, the Rocks won’t be able to hold out."
The two King Beasts nodded and said, "Ancestor, , we have access privileges and can go directly inside the Secret Realm."
"Back in the day, our three guardian tribes visited each other often. Once we got familiar, the Beast Kings could walk freely in each other’s territory."
The two beasts and Jiang Xue’an reached the entrance. The King Beasts wrapped their power around Jiang Xue’an, causing ripples at the boundary.
The three stepped forward together, entering without any obstacles.
Jiang Xue’an’s view shifted. She saw a world of swirling yellow sand and towering rocky peaks rising here and there.
From far ahead came the violent sounds of battle, as well as the roars of Sea Beasts.
The Magma King Beast and Ice Beast King immediately reverted to their terrifying ten-thousand-meter-long true forms—one radiating fiery red magma, the other exuding biting cold.
Jiang Xue’an landed atop the Magma King Beast’s head, holding the Bronze Hall in one hand and waving the other, saying, "Move out! Our destination, the Magma Guardian Sea Beast Palace."
The two different types of Beast Kings roared, dived into the void, and rushed rapidly toward the center of the small world.
Half a minute later, the three appeared over a massive stone palace.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Jiang Xue’an saw that ten late-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts were outside the palace, pummeling the Rock Sea Beast patrol squads.
A King Beast all-over in bright red and yellow stood at the palace gate, roaring angrily,
"This is a forbidden land—Sea Beasts keep out!"
The ten late-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beasts easily took on the rookie patrol Rock Sea Beasts who were only early-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm.
After hearing the Rock King Beast’s angry roar, the group burst out laughing.
"So this is a forbidden land—funny, it looks so weak! Only one late-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm Sea Beast!"
"Hey, we’re ten of the biggest ocean powers united, so of course they look weak. Whatever, let’s go."
Soon enough, the Rock patrols were smashed to the ground by the ten late-stage King Beasts, losing all ability to fight back.
The ten ocean King Beasts turned their eyes to the Rock King Beast and said with a mocking tone,
"Bring out the Divine Cultivation Treasure now or all your guardian beasts will be wrecked. There’s no way you can stop us!"
"Why bother talking, just snatch it."
By now, over a hundred mid-stage and early-stage Quasi-Emperor Realm ocean Sea Beasts had surrounded the rock palace outside.
Their enormous bodies packed tight, hemming in the Rock Palace on every side.
The Rock King Beast roared back, "Even if I die, I won’t let you take a single thing from the guardian forbidden land!"
"Magma King Beast, Ice Beast King, come help me!"
He had already noticed that the Magma Beast King and Ice Beast King had arrived.
The two Beast Kings, each ten thousand meters long and crackling with power, couldn’t possibly escape his notice.
The three Guardian Tribes were close friends, bonded for generations, jointly safeguarding each other’s Dark Gods, each shouldering their own mission.
In hard times, they could call on the other two tribes for help.
The Magma King Beast and Ice Beast King let out excited bellows, leaping to the Rock King Beast’s side, exclaiming,
"Hahaha, it’s been so long since my last fight. I’m stiff, my limbs are itching to move. Time to loosen up!"
"Yeah, let’s call our clan beasts too. I don’t believe these ocean Sea Beasts can breach our three-tribe defense!"
Standing atop the Magma King Beast’s head, Jiang Xue’an got a few black lines on her forehead.
She snapped, "Fight, fight, fight—is that all you know?"
"You’re all under my command. What’s the point in fighting until someone dies?"
"Knock it off, all of you!!!"
Her voice wasn’t loud, but as her divine sense burst out, it thundered in every Sea Beast’s ear.
All the Sea Beasts felt an explosive clap of thunder in their heads, making their brains buzz!
Jiang Xue’an was in her transformed state now, a tiny human body, but she was actually a Starry Sky Giant Beast—the only Apex Frenzy Beast at Quasi-Emperor Realm Perfection on Sea Blue Star!
Jiang Xue’an shot into the air, arriving at the palace gate, standing between the two opposing Sea Beast forces with her hands on her hips, saying,
"You ten meatheads, step back now."
"And you three Guardian King Beasts, if you want to fight, don’t do it in front of me."
"End the clown show. Rock King Beast, where’s the Dark God? Take me to get it!"
The ten ocean King Beasts were stunned. Why was the Ancestor here?
And walking out of the enemy camp?
The Rock King Beast saw Jiang Xue’an’s figure and sensed her aura. Its giant body shook.
"Sea God Ancestor, that’s the Sea God Ancestor!"
"Have you finally come to retrieve the Dark God?"
"Is my mission as Rock King Beast finally over?"
It was so excited, it cheered with joy.
"Hmph, I’ll deal with you ocean Sea Beasts another day. With the Ancestor here, our Rock Guardian Sea Beasts need to receive our guest. You all can leave!"
The ten ocean King Beasts withdrew their auras and smiled sheepishly.
"Turns out we’re on the same side, our bad! Retreat!"
"Big Chief, you take over, we’re heading back."
Jiang Xue’an nodded, "Mm."
The ocean King Beasts led their hundred-plus Quasi-Emperor Realm troops away, leaving the Rock King Beast to breathe a sigh of relief and say with respect,
"Ancestor, please come this way, I’ll lead you to the Dark God."
In the Rock King Beast’s memory, the Dark God was the Sea God Ancestor’s possession, entrusted to the Rock Sea Beasts to guard.
