It took ten days for the Spirit Siphon Continent to merge completely with the Spirit Shimmer Continent. The two lands were separated by ocean and from the scouting surveys it was found that the ocean was filled with a lot of new ocean spirit beasts.
The location of the Spirit Siphon Continent happened to be directly in line with the Crescent Moon Empire. Han Lingshi had been monitoring the array repair over the days. The entire southern continent had been changed into a bunker it seemed.
Hao Ren was cultivating the new technique that he devised to break through to the higher realm, Dao Being level. Although he had to squeeze his brain out into mush he managed to reach the level he desired.
At this moment, he was consolidating his realm. Suddenly, the young man sensed something in the void and opened his eyes. He stood up from the ground and walked out of the room. He found that all the Ye generals and Han Lingshi along with Hao Mei had gathered together. He asked, "Did you also sense it?"
Hao Mei nodded and replied, "It would be hard to not sense their approach."
Han Lingshi said, "Shall we go over and see what they intend to do?"
Hao Ren nodded and held her hand to fly ahead. It didn't take them a long time before they arrived at the edge of the southern continent. Raising their heads, the two of them saw massive flying vessels in the void moving towards their territory.
The vessels slowly stopped in the distance and then a loud voice sounded, "Aim."
A moment later the loud voice said, "Fire."
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Hundreds of spirit attacks were sent at Hao Ren and his people. The young man, however, stood calmly in the void. The attacks were a hundred meters away when they collided with a barrier in the void, and caused the array barrier to manifest.
The attacks vanished and the surroundings were filled with silence. Hao Ren took out his battle suit and then said to Han Lingshi, "Our turn. Are you coming?"
Han Lingshi also put on her spirit armor and they both moved forward holding hands. Hao Mei sighed and asked, "Can't you let us attack them?"
Hao Ren replied, "I will take one vessel, you all can handle the rest."
The Ye generals took out their spirit armors as well.
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi appeared in the void and the two of them came outside the array barrier. They heard a few voices, "Old Tiger, these kids came out in armor, do you think they want to fight with us?"
The people chuckled, and Hao Ren and Han Lingshi raised their right and left hands respectively. Then they channeled their spiritual flames outside, and the two flames merged. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel✦fire.net
Someone from the spirit vessels yelled, "Don't let them prepare, attack."
Another person commanded, "Aim."
At this moment, a couple of sword energies shot from behind Hao Ren and Han Lingshi, the energies bypassed them and hit the spirit vessel on the flank of the entourage.
That was all, and then the people saw the gigantic spirit vessel cut in two halves as it fell from the void. The cultivators tried to abandon ship when Ye Jian appeared in the void and said, "To dare and eye the Crescent Moon Empire, your sins are punishable by death."
He didn't take out his sword but only hit the back of the hilt with his little finger, and the sword energies devoured the cultivators in the void completely, leaving behind only bloody mist.
Someone exclaimed, "Sword Saint!"
Followed by the sword saint they met a saber saint, Ye Peng, then Ye Jill, Ye Lan, and Ye Yue, with the five primes, Ye generals scared the shit out of people.
Hao Ren looked at them and yelled, "Fucking, leave some for us."
Han Lingshi sighed and shook her head, as she said, "Focus, and release already, how big do you want it to be?"
Hao Ren sighed and looked at the fist sized flame ball floating before the two of them and said, "Fine this is enough."
From a distance, Gram Family scouts were also watching the scene unfold under the lead of Mala Gram. They wanted to confirm that Hao Ren was really as strong as he claimed to be.
They saw a fist sized flame ball condense before the couple and then it slowly moved towards the biggest vessel in the fleet. Mala said, "Are they targeting the General Ship?"
As they were still figuring things out the orange and blue flame ball came in contact with the general ship. The contact caused the defense array to light up and then the entire battlefield was covered with a glow followed by a deafening sound and a visible shockwave in the void.
The impact caused a few of the Gram family scouts to cough up blood. They were standing at least twenty kilometers away and yet they were impacted. Mala looked at the battlefield which was now clear of everything, even a piece of debris wasn't left behind.
She sucked in a cold breath and said, "I hope that you have recorded the scene in detail. Hao Ren is not the only person we need to avoid, but every person in his team is a monster. They all settled the Biron Dynasties naval forces with such ease as if it was a child's play. Even a speck isn't left behind."
The people nodded while shivering, they didn't expect to witness such a situation as soon as the two continents merged.
On the battlefield, Hao Mei smacked the back of her brother's head and said, "Couldn't you learn to warn us? That attack would have killed us along with the enemy."
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "I gave you all the protection amulets. What do you think it was? Token of love?"
Hao Mei grabbed his ear and said, "Let's go home, and I will tell you what it was."
Hao Ren wailed, and begged for mercy, and the rest of the people chuckled. He couldn't do anything to the people he loved and would accommodate them as much as he could.
Hao Ren said, "Meimei, I am the wandering dragon. I am a King for heaven's sake, let go of me. Arghhh, it will come out. Lingling! Look at her, she is deafening your husband! Help me!"
The young man dramatized the situation and amused everyone. Then suddenly he stopped and looked in the direction where the Gram family scouts were stationed and said, "Miss Mala, long time no see. If you are going back to report this incident, I hope you tell them to come at their own risk. If they even looked at us in a wrong way, I will go over and settle them down."
Mala nodded and then she vanished from the place. Hao Ren and the rest returned to the Crescent Moon Palace and the young man said, "Ask the rest of the people if they want a world protection array. We will give it to them at a cheap price."
Maya Okudera said, "I had Xiao Mei record the battle just now and send it to all the different experts and forces. They will be replying soon. I think they will accept it easily because if they don't then some other Spirit Siphon Force will attack them."
Han Lingshi nodded and said, "I have dispatched a platoon of shadows to go and establish a network there. So the information input might activate in a few days."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Good, now that we have showcased our power, it would give us some buffer and recognition on their side of the world. However, I am curious what it feels like there."
Hao Mei narrowed her gaze and said, "Don't you dare to play hands-off shopkeeper this time."
Hao Ren wanted to say something when the system said, *Bitch, they wanted to kill you, and you are going to stay here like a good daughter? Gear up and go beat the shit out of them. Showcase your power, defeat ten experts of the same realm in duel and gain the physical strength boost of ten dragons.*
Hao Ren frowned and said to Hao Mei, "I am not going to be hands-off, but since they brought this battle home, I will go ahead and reciprocate the gesture. I want them to feel the might of the Crescent Moon Empire."
Ye Jian stepped up and said, "I also want to go."
Hao Ren frowned and was thinking when Han Lingshi said, "You aren't taking my kids with you. They have a hard time keeping up with your tricks. Take Ye Jian and Ye Peng."
Hao Ren flinched and said, "These two? They will kill each other before fighting with the enemy."
Ye Peng held his saber close to his chest and said, "Just say that you want to hog the spotlight."
Hao Ren clenched his fist and asked, "Are you rebelling against me, damn you, Peng!"
Then he chased after Ye Peng who ran out of the palace and the people sighed collectively.
