Blue waves rose and fell endlessly on the vast sea.
In the past, the waters had been conquered by humans. Ships would traverse the oceans busily, connecting the different continents.
Countless marine products were developed by humans. Some of them became industrial materials, some became delicacies on their tables.
It could be said that there weren’t many secrets left in the seas of Mercury for humans to discover, before the arrival of the new age. Only outer space was left to conquer.
However, following the arrival of the new age, all kinds of powerful exotic beasts occupied the waters. Almost all ships were destroyed by those powerful exotic beasts. Even the aircraft carriers and submarines, great weapons of war, weren’t spared destruction.
At present, the vast and endless seas had totally become a paradise for exotic beasts.
An endless supply of food was available in the sea, so the exotic beasts who could survive in the waters did not have to worry about their source of food. Here, they reproduced and developed, fighting one another. The seas had become their true territory.
At this moment, an unusually majestic subdued beast flying above the waters hundreds of kilometers away from Xinfan City, stopped in mid-air. He Luotu was sitting on it, looking back coldly at the pursuing deep blue figure.
“You have guts. Since you dared give chase, I’ll grant you your wish and let the vast seas be where you meet your end!” The corners of He Luotu’s lips drew back into a faint, cold smile, not showing any hints of fear.
He admitted that Zhang Che was indeed stronger than he had expected. On land, the strength he possessed truly might not be a match for him. However, they were above the sea; the paradise of exotic beasts!
Here, he’d have endless helpers waiting to give him a hand. Naturally he wouldn’t be afraid of anyone!
Flying on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, when Zhang Che saw He Luotu had stopped running, he wasn’t afraid, although he knew He Luotu might have some tricks up his sleeves. He ordered the dragon to bring out its fastest speed and instantly closed the distance between them.
“You won’t get away, He Luotu. You’d better surrender obediently. If a battle breaks out, it wouldn’t be nice if my subdued beast tore you apart!”
Zhang Che didn’t expose that he knew He Luotu’s identity as a demon. He pretended to be unaware, and treated him like a mere cult member putting up his final resistance.
He Luotu froze for a moment before bursting out into laughter. “Surrender obediently? Hahahaha…” He stared at Zhang Che, who was hovering a few hundred meters away, disdainfully, then mocked him, “Kid, you’re really too naive. Do you really think you’re my opponent, with only an epic-quality subdued beast?
“You’re taking me for a sick cat, when this tiger only chose not to show its ferocity! I’m a person who treasures talents. Seeing you have great potential and will surely become a top expert, you won’t have any lack of benefits in the future if you are willing to pledge loyalty to me. If not, you will die here today!”
As he finished speaking, a chilly aura erupted from He Luotu. The weak exotic beasts nearby went into a panic and swam far away.
Just his aura alone was enough to make the exotic beasts feel heavily pressured, not daring to remain here any longer. That was the pressure emitted by those on the higher end of the food chain. How could those weak exotic beasts possibly dare to provoke him?
Zhang Che felt that familiar aura from back then once more.
That’s right, that was the aura only those powerful demonic warriors had. Not only that, compared to the auras he felt when he slaughtered demons, although He Luotu’s aura wasn’t strong, it was many times purer!
-Could this fellow actually be a huge figure among the demons?- The thought flashed through Zhang Che’s mind, and his expression became much more cautious.
If that was true, the strength He Luotu had shown so far was most likely not all he had in his arsenal. Perhaps this guy had some fearsome methods he still hadn’t used.
However, on second thought, Zhang Che felt that wasn’t very likely.
After all, back when the demons invaded Mercury, there wasn’t a single overly powerful warrior among them. It had proved that there was an extremely powerful restriction on Mercury in effect against the demons. It was impossible for those super powerful demons to infiltrate the human world.
Perhaps the demon possessing He Luotu had only remained in Mercury through some method, and could no longer display his strength. In that case, there was nothing to be afraid of.
Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, the brief thought he had was actually incredibly close to the truth.
He Luotu thought Zhang Che was tempted when he saw him hesitating. He said sternly once more, “Kid, I’ll give you one last chance. If you don’t submit to me, I’ll have you die without a proper burial!”
Zhang Che came back to himself. A disdainful smile flashed on his face, and he said loudly, “Hahahaha, He Luotu, or should I say, the demon’s spy, on what basis are you trying to bribe me? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely not let you leave today. You demons’ plans will never succeed in the end!”
He Luotu felt a chill in his heart when he heard Zhang Che expose his true identity. His pupils shrank, a boundless killing intent showed on his face as he said savagely, “Where did you learn of that? Looks like I can’t leave you alive today!”
Done speaking, He Luotu sent out another mental attack.
This time, his mental attack didn’t spread in a wide area. Instead, it focused on one point, directly sweeping towards Zhang Che. The intangible mental sword streaked through the air, leaving a ripple behind in space, showing how mighty it was.
Zhang Che’s heart skipped for a moment at the sight.
-Freaking hell, this fellow is indeed worthy of the name of the demons. He actually displayed this ability of He Luotu to this extent! The big boss rainbow crystal should be able to handle this, right?-
Zhang Che no longer had a path of retreat, no matter if the rainbow crystal could resist the mental attack or not.
The mental attack was incredibly fast. At almost the same time as He Luotu made his move, it had already arrived before Zhang Che.
The enormous force directly invaded Zhang Che’s brain, and his thoughts fell into momentary paralysis.
Fortunately, the rainbow crystal was a reliable support at the crucial moment!
Rainbow light burst out in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea instantly. The rainbow crystal emitted intense light, enveloping the invading mental force completely.
Afterwards, the mental force directly crumbled in Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, like residual snow meeting the bright sun. There was no resistance at all before it disappeared without a trace.
Seeing Zhang Che becoming sluggish from his mental attack, He Luotu suddenly felt his soul tremble before he could even grin. He spat out a mouthful of ink-black fresh blood. His body staggered, nearly falling off from his flying mount’s back.
“How is that possible!? That is… the Axis of the Spiritual World!”
A terrible look of shock, as well as a hint of ecstasy, flashed in He Luotu’s eyes. He could no longer care to continue dealing with Zhang Che. Instead, he ordered the subdued beast under him to erupt its speed to the maximum and fly further into the open sea.
At that moment, the Freemasons, or connecting the two worlds to bring forth the demonic army, no longer counted for anything in He Luotu’s heart.
It would be a great merit as long as he managed to transmit what he had just discovered. As such, he definitely couldn’t afford to die here. At the very least, he had to find a way to relay the information to his other clones. That way, he would receive the greatest reward during his infiltration into the human world!
“Want to escape? I’ll see where you can run off to!”
Seeing He Luotu trying to escape after suffering a mental backlash, how could Zhang Che possibly allow things to go as he wished? He immediately ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to erupt his potential and brought his speed up to twice that of his maximum during normal times. His body turned into a deep blue ray, streaking off in the direction He Luotu escaped to.
“Damn it, this brat is like a maggot clinging onto my bones. I can’t shake him off no matter what! Looks like I have no choice but to use my ultimate skill!”

Seeing Zhang Che not letting up in his pursuit, He Luotu realized he wouldn’t be able to escape if things continued like this.
Suddenly, a powerful demonic aura erupted from his body, spreading out in all directions.
This demonic aura was different from the pressuring aura he emitted earlier.
Almost all of the exotic beasts within the surrounding dozens of kilometers stopped whatever they were doing, regardless of their strength. Their eyes emitted a bloodthirsty light, looking in the direction of He Luotu.
To those exotic beasts, this aura was unique to the mortal enemies deeply engraved in their souls. They immediately went incredibly berserk, madly chasing in that direction at the same time.
Zhang Che also felt something was off.
At the start, Zhang Che had thought He Luotu was about to use some big move and had prepared himself mentally. However, the berserk aura that came didn’t bring any threat.
While he was doubting things, Zhang Che noticed the strange movements of the nearby exotic beasts.
“Bloody hell, this fellow can actually control exotic beasts, too! Looks like he’s a very important figure among the demons for sure. How could he have such an ability otherwise? All the more I can’t let him escape!”
Zhang Che had misunderstood, thinking He Luotu was able to control the nearby exotic beasts. He had no idea that those exotic beasts were actually drawn to the berserk aura He Luotu was emitting and were coming for him.
All the exotic beasts within the surrounding dozens of kilometers closed in on them at the same time. It became an extremely dense spread of beasts instantly since they were above the seas where exotic beasts were abundant. They couldn’t see the end of them in sight.
Cold sweat poured from Zhang Che’s forehead.
This time, it seemed the matter had really blown up.
Although those exotic beasts weren’t very powerful, their numbers were huge. Naturally there was no lack of legend and epic-quality exotic beasts among them, too!
Not only that, they weren’t on land. With the exception of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon, his other capable subdued beasts and pets were pretty much unable to display any combat strength. It’d be really dangerous if he was surrounded by those exotic beasts!
“Hanming, kill off He Luotu that demonic dog first!”
Zhang Che resolved himself at the crucial moment, wanting to take down He Luotu before the exotic beasts surrounded him. That way, he’d be able to retreat easily.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon responded with a loud roar. A stream of deep blue air erupted from his body. His speed became even faster, drawing the distance between them and He Luotu even closer.
At that moment, he suddenly opened his mouth. A deep blue ray shot forth like a bolt of lightning, accurately striking He Luotu’s back.
“Ah, damn! Zhang Che, you really deserve to die!”
He Luotu didn’t have it easy despite being a high-tier beastmaster after he was struck by the Extreme Yin Ray. He was almost frozen into an ice sculpture. His expression was incredibly savage. As his facial muscles moved, his frozen skin cracked open, inch by inch, and fell off his face.
He Luotu’s soul was incredibly strong. If it was any other ordinary high-tier beastmasters in his place, they would have been killed instantly, no matter how good their physiques were.
Even Zhang Che was shocked inside when he saw He Luotu could still speak.
-As expected of a demon. He can’t be measured by normal standards. He’s actually still alive after that!-
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Che waved his hand and summoned out the Gluttony Monkey. At the same time, he brought out the Falling Star Mk III bow and handed it to him, commanding, “Kill him for daddy!”
A hint of excitement shone in the frisky monkey’s eyes. He immediately nocked an arrow and drew the bow. Moments later, a custom-made alloy metal arrow shot out.
A sharp whistle went off. The arrow left a white streak in the air, crossing several hundred meters almost instantly and penetrated He Luotu’s back.
An explosion boomed. A bowl-sized hole suddenly appeared on He Luotu, who had yet to recover from the cold. Countless dark red ice shards were swept along by the momentum of the arrow shot by the Falling Star Mk III, streaking dozens of meters forward
“Ah…! You have to die today! You must die!”
He Luotu went berserk. The phantom of a demon nearly emerged from his body. He looked back savagely at the pursuing Zhang Che, a layer of black air trying to come out of his body.
Zhang Che’s expression grew serious at the sight. -As I had expected! That is probably the demon possessing He Luotu’s body. It indeed looks different from the ordinary demon warriors I killed before. He’s definitely a powerful figure of the demon realm, but who knows how he managed to slip through the restrictions on Mercury and infiltrate our world?-
“Hahaha, I do want to see who’s the one dying!”
Zhang Che had a clear idea of that fellow’s background now. He knew He Luotu was only a paper tiger. Of course he wouldn’t be afraid of him. Zhang Che sneered at him, then ordered both the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and the Gluttony Monkey to attack at the same time.
Another Extreme Yin Ray, together with an arrow, struck He Luotu one after another.
A deep blue luster flashed. He Luotu’s body was frozen into an ice sculpture, immediately followed up by an arrow, bringing with it a terrifying momentum. He instantly shattered into countless pieces and fell into the sea.
A sorrowful cry rang out. The subdued beast had lost its master and instantly turned into a mass of glowing light, dissipating.
From that moment on, He Luotu no longer existed in this world.
“No matter if you’re a cult member or a demon spy, you’re still easily killed by me in the end-” a faint smile showed on Zhang Che’s face as he watched He Luotu’s body shattered and scattered into the sea. Afterwards, his pupils shrank. He saw a phantom almost indiscernible by the naked eye suddenly shot out, flying off towards an extremely faraway place.
“Not good, that demon is actually still alive and is trying to escape!”
Zhang Che quickly focused his mind onto his spiritual sea and cried out urgently, -Big Boss Rainbow Crystal, please show your might quickly. Don’t let that demon escape!-
It was like the rainbow crystal had really heard Zhang Che’s cries. A ray of rainbow light suddenly shot out from his brow, instantly catching up to the phantom that had flown thousands of meters away, and melting it cleanly, like the rays of the sun wiping away residual snow.
In the empty skies, a miserable cry rang out, “Damn it, how could he possess the Axis of the Spiritual World? That’s impossible..!”
The voice faded. Zhang Che let out a very long breath in relief, knowing that the demon spy had completely disappeared from this world.
-This won’t do. I have to inform father-in-law about this situation when I get back, and have him warn the top brass. I assume he’s not the only one to have infiltrated our world. In order to prevent the others from causing chaos, we have to further intensify our efforts in striking at evil cults.-
The thought flashed through his mind as a bitter smile showed on Zhang Che’s face.
Although He Luotu was completely eliminated, the exotic beasts he had provoked earlier had also completely surrounded Zhang Che.
Going forward, there was another bitter battle to fight to successfully leave the sea.
“Come on, then! I’m not afraid of you!”
Zhang Che was full of confidence in the blink of an eye. A powerful aura erupted from his whole body as he faced those exotic beasts closing in on him.
