The tables were turned on the Sea King Navy from being the informidable party that dominated the battle initially to the current neck and neck situation. The Sea King knew he had blundered as he did not expect the forces of Beiqi to all join them in this battle.
What surprised him more was that the Xiao Tian Army’s leader that he once thought to be dead was still alive. He even led the Xiao Tian Army in this blatant betrayal.
Under these present circumstances, the strength of the two sides was not far apart.
When the battle came to the third hour, it was a scene of great carnage with corpses of the Sea King Navy all over the Mansion of the Dead’s border.
Meanwhile, the first batch of respawned players began to log in one after another, maneuvering the forces of Beiqi from an unfavorable position to ascendancy.
The Sea King seemed to know that his side would lose if the situation kept on this way. With a howl of rage, his body was engulfed by beams of blue energy before it started to expand.
The players were familiar with this ability. It was the Sea God Figure, the sacrificial ability Liu Chai gained after swallowing the famed Son of the Sea.
However, Liu Chai’s Sea God Figure could not be compared to the Sea King’s, be it in either size or vigor.
Huge waves suddenly rose from the Mansion of the Dead’s border as the Sea King swung his icy blue trident.
“Oh no, he’s making a realm!” the Rock Ghost King yelled in fury.
Seeing this, the Hydra King promptly turned sideways and charged toward the Sea King, trying to ruin his realm construction.
The Sea King Navy was unable to fully display their combat strength on land. Nonetheless, the forces of Beiqi would definitely be weakened if he were to build a Realm of Sea here. On top of that, the Sea King Navy’s power would grow immensely.
“Leave now!”
The Sea King swung his trident hard upon the sight of the charging Hydra King. The enormous wave that rolled ahead of him was subsequently transformed into a roaring water dragon. It then swept across the horizon and sent the Hydra King flying.
The Mansion of the Dead’s border was soon flooded with water. As the water level rose, countless beasts of the Sea King Navy started to bellow and all the water-controlling sea creatures began to cast their water spells.
“Your Daddy Tong Gua is here!” it was then that a silhouette descended from the sky with his wings slapping the Sea King violently in his face, interrupting his spellcasting.
“Tong Gua!” the Sea King’s pupils shrank.
In this Land of Beiqi, he feared Tong Gua the most. But now that he knew Tong Gua’s strength was fully predestined, he dreaded him no more. He immediately swirled his trident and sent three rogue waves thrusting upward as they rolled Tong Gua up and smacked him into the water.
“Hmph, paper tiger!” the Sea King snorted as he watched Tong Gua struggle out of the water and flutter his feathers.
“Sea King, you brat, you’re just lucky this time that your daddy Tong Gua was predestined to the Ghost King Intermediate Realm’s strength. Don’t let it get to your head… with three of us fighting you now, you’ll be knocked out in any second!” as Tong Gua spoke, he threw both the Hydra King and the Rock Ghost King a significant glance.
Both of them took the hint and hurried to Tong Gua’s side. All of them had their gaze fixed on the Sea King who was in his Sea God Figure from afar.
“Three of you can’t beat me either!” sneering, blue lights gleamed on top of the Sea King’s trident before he plunged it into the sea.
Within a split second, the seawater in the newly-formed sea realm began to surge vigorously. The turbulent waves slammed on every side and greatly hindered the players as well as the various forces of Beiqi on the battlefield.
On the other hand, the Sea King’s soldiers took the advantage to attack the players. Their attacks became progressively brutal.
“Kill them!” the Rock Ghost King let out a wail, followed by his body rising into the air before it went crashing down on the Sea King’s head with overwhelming momentum.
At the sight of this, the Hydra King dove into the water and began to attack the Sea King from below.
At the same time, Tong Gua flapped his wings and lunged at the Sea King as he kept on screaming, “Tong Gua’s eighteen smashing styles!”
“Sea God!”
A blue armor precipitated out of the seawater and covered the surface of the Sea King’s body. The bluish glow made him appear godly as he shone bright like a diamond.
Attacks from three directions hit on the Sea King’s body simultaneously. Right then, cracks appeared on the Sea God Armor.
“Hmph! Pay for the lives of my dead men with your blood!”
As the Sea King’s voice died down, his trident sank into the water. Following that, the seawater rapidly converged as it revolved around the trident. It morphed into a giant water dragon, raising the Sea King up into the sky.
Although this water dragon was made up of seawater, it had a sturdy body. Despite being crushed by the Hydra King, it did not succumb to his attacks and scatter. Instead, it stretched its claw out to pin him down. It then lifted its head and bit the Rock Ghost King who dropped from the sky again, throwing him into the water.
…
On the other side of the battlefield which was now enshrouded in the Sea God’s Realm, the players were drifting along in the water. They were once again the weaker party fighting the Sea King Navy.
“Everybody summon your warship! Fuck it! They think they are the only party who can do a naval battle, huh?” Liu Chai yelled in that zone’s live chat channel.
Almost instantly, numerous warships began to take shape in the realm.
“A naval battle on land is so fucking exciting! It’s time to test out these newly evolved energy cannons. I will only admit defeat if I don’t kill a thousand sea creatures!” Lu Zhan from the Slayer Alliance stood in front of the warship discharge outlet and shouted excitedly while holding the energy cannon’s handle.
“Come out! Wandering Spirit!”
“Fight! Spirit of Desperation!”
“Growl! Guardian Spirit!”
The spirits of warships in their virtual forms were summoned by the players. They detached from the warships and pounced on the snarling sea creatures from afar.
The players, previously in a disadvantageous state, were now able to compete with the enemies after summoning their warships!
“Hahaha, secret weapons, as expected from a secret weapon! Sea King, looks like your realm is just for show!” the Rock Ghost King laughed jeeringly at the Sea King.
“Go to hell!” the water dragon made by the trident dashed forward to bite him, pushing the Rock Ghost King underwater.
At this moment, innumerable vines emerged from the water and trapped the water dragon before dragging under the water.
“I’ll take care of it. You hold the Sea King down and don’t let him engage in the war. The longer you drag it on, the better it is for us. It seems that these secret weapons can be reborn!”
Hearing this, the Hydra King threw an astonished glance at the player who was standing on the warship amid the battle with the Sea King Navy. He then nodded hard and charged at the Sea King again.
The Sea King’s Ghost King Peak Realm strength was undoubtedly the mightiest. Regardless of the merged attacks from the Hydra King and Tong Gua, the two elites in their Ghost King Intermediate Realm, the Sea King still had them under his thumb. Both of them ended up being continuously attacked by the Sea King.
However, they could not afford to care about all these anymore. They had gambled their every asset the moment they chose to enter the war. If they were to lose this battle, all the forces of Beiqi would be destroyed and the Sea King would fully take over Beiqi.
“Roar!” the severely wounded Hydra King tensed his hideous face up and let out another battle cry as he sprang forward relentlessly.
…
When the battle lasted till the sixth hour, the Sea King started to sense that something was wrong.
Although the number of players in the Beiqi main army force was sharply reduced, a portion of people would rejoin the war from time to time.
This gave him a sense of foreboding.
If this force had sufficient backup, they could have joined the battle at the beginning. What was going on with this bizarre situation where they would come in batches?
Being completely in the dark and not knowing the players’ respawn ability, the Sea King’s face was ghastly pale.
Nevertheless, he was being kept in check by the Hydra King and Tong Gua. He could not possibly rush forward to aid the battle, and this led to his frustration.
“Brothers, keep fighting! The Sea King Navy is declining in numbers!”
Seeing that the bodies of the Sea King Navy’s soldiers were continuously floating to the top of the water as time went on, the players realized that they had regained their advantage and burst into excited cries.
Though this was just a game, the players could feel the passion and excitement rushing through them once again. This was what they couldn’t get from the bustling city life as they unleashed their beastly instincts, hence it fueled their impetuousness.
“We’ll grill sea creatures for dinner tonight, so let’s work harder! If we don’t beat the crap out of the Sea King, count this as our failure, the Fourth Disaster Army’s failure!”

“Nothing can stop us today. Since you guys are here, don’t leave! As the heir of Beiqi, I would like to welcome you warmly! So, take that!”
“Haha, we’re getting the upper hand now! Kill them! Push forward!”
…
The tide was turning in their favor.
As the flocks of support arrived, their strength gradually expanded. The Specter Warships that had cost them millions of soul coins to cultivate were currently repaying the players with their artillery fire and powerful Warship Guardian Spirits.
Seeing the light of victory at last, the players got more exhilarated as they fought. On the contrary, the Sea King Navy began to get exhausted in the incessant war and slowly, their fatigue showed.
“Go away!” the Sea King knocked the Hydra King down with a punch. He tried to rush to their rescue, but the Hydra King threw himself at him again with his eyes gleaming with determination. Constraining him tightly, he prevented him from heading to the main battlefield.
As he sent the Hydra King sprawling with another punch, the Sea King knew he could not continue fighting like this. The constant support of Beiqi’s new backup forces was beyond his comprehension. If this went on, his side would definitely suffer a disastrous loss.
This consequence could be so serious to the point that he might lose ground and get chased out of the Void Ocean completely.
After all, there were many forces outside the Void Ocean keeping their eyes on him, so he could not afford to lose.
“Retreat!” the Sea King growled unwillingly to the sky. As his words rang out, the Sea God’s Realm began to dissipate.
“Dumbass, don’t just come and go as you please, stay right here!”
“Wanna go? Leave your head!”
“Fuck you! You killed me twice! Let me kill you just once before you go!”
…
Shouting excitedly, the foolish thought of letting the dying foes go never once crossed their minds as all of them were thinking of just one thing right now, “Fuck!”
Meanwhile on the Sea King’s side, the Rock Ghost King leaped out of the water and landed on the Sea King after the Hydra King was sent flying once again.
“Change… give him to me!”
The Hydra King nodded tiredly and dove into the water to fight the water dragon.
Having fought to this point, the Rock Ghost King could clearly see that the new forces of Beiqi wanted to wipe out the entire Sea King Navy.
They never had this notion even when Lu Yan was here. Seeing the players who held sway over their enemy and counter-attacked crazily, the fire of passion within the Rock Ghost King was lit up again.
Annihilate the Sea King Navy! It was something that he did not even dare to dream of back then, but now everything seemed to be steering toward the impossible.
The memory of being oppressed by the Sea King after Lu Yan disappeared was still fresh in his mind. All the rage erupted at this moment and was converted into his power to battle.
He began to throw himself around the Sea King at the risk of his life and restricted him from leaving. The way he did it with all his might showcased a madness peculiar to the players!
With the help of the Rock Ghost King and other Ghost Kings, the players continued to widen their strength and fought on bravely. Their aggressive attacks somehow made the Sea King Navy tremble.
The enduring battle, exhaustion, and the ceaseless death of their comrades had taken a toll on their mental health. The Sea King Navy was now certain to be at a complete disadvantage.
They were now on the horns of a dilemma. Just as the Sea King ran out of ideas, a black silhouette appeared from the East. Looking at the Sea King, he then shifted his gaze to the Cliffs of Desperation. A tinge of perseverance shone in his eyes as he pressed his hands downward.
A giant veil of black light swept across the entire area like a shock wave, engulfing the battlefield.
What happened next stunned everyone.
Those floating bodies of the Sea King Navy soldiers in the Sea God’s Realm suddenly moved. In the next second, they stood up and charged toward the forces of Beiqi fearlessly.
Under the control of Mu Zhiguang, the Sea King Navy’s dead soldiers were infected by death energy and became zombie fighters! Their transformation once again helped the Sea King Navy to even up the odds of the battle
This time, the players could also feel how troublesome this was.
It was because these zombie fighters could be respawned under this black light even if they were killed.
Unless they were completely smashed into pieces, they could still attack the players even with a single arm left.
“Dumbass! Report the bug, and what an overwhelming respawning bug this is!”
“What the heck is this? Cheating, darn him!”
“Who’s that up there who fucking came straight away with the bug?”
“Motherfucker, come down if you dare. I promise I won’t fucking kill you!”
…
Staring at Mu Zhiguang who was high up in the sky, the players could hardly hold back their curses.
Right now in the left region of the battlefield, Hu He was fighting his way out through the enemy with his strengthened zombie spirit, Cha Na.
In this battlefield where everyone was fighting against the enemy, Hu He was forgiven by other players despite being the public enemy of the whole server. The players around him no longer attacked him when they saw him fighting tooth and nail. In fact, some of them even shielded him from attacks.
Hu He had also met the bounty couple that he feared the most, but they spared him as well.
Being deeply touched, Hu He felt that his name could finally be cleared after this battle and he would never have to hide himself like a street rat anymore.
“Hu He, your zombie soul is very strong. Let it follow our fighters to the front line later,” a guild leader shouted at Hu He.
“Okay, no problem!” this acknowledgement caused tears to well up in his eyes.
Is this friendship? It’s been such a long time!
Hu He’s emotion rose under such a circumstance as he put his heart and soul into the battle.
Just then, Mu Zhiguang’s Aura of Death enveloped the land and the Sea King Navy soldiers respawned as zombies.
While the players were cursing Mu Zhiguang, they could not help but scan him with their analyzing ability.
[Mu Zhiguang (Ghost Emperor Peak)]:
Character Information: He was the previous king of the Mu Te Sea Nation and his people fell under the invasion of the Death Clan. Since then, he aspired to seek revenge by guarding the abyss under the ocean in order to restrain the Death Clan. He was later awakened by player Hu He and returned to the Void Ocean with the determination to assist the Sea King in rebuilding the Mu Te Sea Nation.
Character State: Handicapped (Absence of right arm).
When the players saw the Analysis Menu of Mu Zhiguang, they were all dumbfounded.
Especially for those who fought in the same zone together with Hu He, their intentions to forgive Hu He collapsed right away.
Hu He raised his head with awkwardness written all over his face.
“Believe it or not, this really had nothing to do with me. I just took a stroll down there and then he suddenly woke up. I think the analysis has a bug!” Hu He tried to explain with a solemn expression as he looked around.
“Why don’t you just say that the analysis menu is slandering you!” a cute girl beside Hu He pointed her sword angrily at him.
“Fuck us for believing you! Again? We were already winning, you fool!”
“Malignant player, what a fucking malignant player! We tried so hard and were just a step away from defeating the Sea King, yet you created such a super big boss. Let me beat the shit out of you!”
“Hu He, leave the game and get lost! Fuck your ancestors!”
…
The same went for the other parts of the battlefield with scoldings of Hu He filling every corner. This malignant player had left them speechless. He was such a troublemaker! Was he trying to take down the entire legion of players before he called it quits and settled down?
