The moon reflected its pale light across the vast ocean. Ships floated silently on the dark waters, their silhouettes drifting beneath the silver glow of the night.
A full day had already passed inside the Blue Earth Sea, yet outside only thirty minutes had gone by.
Time inside Spirit Lands often flowed faster than time in the outside world.
Beneath the surface of the sea, Lucifer and two other Rank 7 Feral Soul immortals approached a mid size ship. They attacked from below, striking the bottom of the vessel and causing water to enter and the ship began to slowly sink before the humans could react.
At that moment Lucifer activated his Feral Souls.
Rank 7 Dark Path Immortal Feral Souls Combination Move Assassination.
The core of the move was Rank 7 Assassin immortal Feral Soul. It was combined with Rank 6 Night Smoke immortal Feral Soul, Rank 6 Silent Night immortal Feral Soul, Rank 6 Multiplication immortal Feral Soul, along with many mortal Feral Souls as supplementary.
Combination moves normally required time to activate because of the number of Feral Souls involved and the mental energy needed to control them. Rank 6 combination move alone could require more than thirty mortal Feral Souls as support. Because of this, giving enemies an opportunity to attack before the combination move is complete.
But Lucifer had prepared everything in advance.
The moment the combination move was activated, it struck the humans completely off guard. It was essentially a perfect sneak attack.
The ship carried one Rank 7 immortal, two Rank 6 immortals, and thirty mortal cultivators. It was a mid size ship capable of holding more than fifty people.
Black smoke suddenly spread across the entire ship.
The humans inside instantly lost their sight as water flow under thier feet.
The combination move possessed four main abilities. It blinds multiple targets, created dense black smoke, filled the smoke with countless needles, and silenced every sound within the affected area.
Inside the darkness, mortals began to die every second.
The needles were fast and countless. Heads rolled from the fog and fell into the sea.
Suddenly a Rank 7 Feral Soul immortal burst upward into the sky.
The moment he moved, countless needles rushed toward him, repeatedly striking his defensive aura, yet none could pierce it. He flew above the ship, escaping the black fog.
Lucifer spoke calmly.
Immortal Feral Soul Combination Move Goodnight.
The Rank 7 human immortal cultivator suddenly lost consciousness and fell straight into the sea.
Lucifer immediately swam toward him.
Immortal Feral Souls Combination Move Dark Spiral.
A rotating iron spike pierced through the immortal's heart instantly killing him.
Lucifer grabbed the corpse and stored it inside his Spirit Land before flying upward again. He then controlled the black smoke and moved it toward the next ship and flew inside the sinking ship. He took the rank 6 immortals and stored thier corpse in his spirit land.
The next target was a small ship.
After quickly eliminating everyone on board, Lucifer ordered the two Rank 7 demons with him to attack only on small ships.
Then he moved toward the third ship.
This one was another mid size ship containing one Rank 7 immortal and two Rank 6 immortals.
Lucifer used the same technique again.
Within moments, all the cultivators aboard were dead.
However, this battle felt too easy compared to the first mid size ship. There had been almost no resistance.
Lucifer narrowed his eyes.
He flew into the fog and activated another Immortal Feral Soul.
Night Eye.
With Night Eye, he could see clearly through the dark smoke.
Boom.
The ship suddenly exploded.
A Rank 7 Light Path Feral Soul immortal shot into the sky. While Lucifer was sent flying into the sea.
He only lost a hand, he had managed to activate a defensive Feral Soul before the explosion, which protected his life.
The explosion alerted many of the demons nearby. Those who saw the flash from a distance thought their plan had been exposed and that the humans on the other ships would soon react.
However, that was only their assumption.
Since the combination move Assassination was still active, the area around the attacked ship remained completely silent. No sound could travel outside the black smoke. The ship itself had been the last one at the rear of the fleet, far behind the others. It was almost impossible for the people on the ships ahead to notice the explosion.
Undin's face turned pale as he sensed something was wrong.
"Senryanku, go rescue Lucifer," he ordered.
Senryanku hissed but still flew out of the Immortal Feral Soul War Ship Machine.
The machine had the shape of a house placed inside a ship. It was the demons' only Immortal Feral Soul Machine. War Ship.
Undin controlled the Rank 6 Immortal Feral Soul Machine and fired a blazing meteor. The attack rained down across the sea, destroying several small ships in succession until only one vessel remained.
A large ship.
Above the ocean stood a man in the sky with his arms folded.
Rank 8 immortal cultivator Andrew Jackson.
He had an average appearance and a muscular body. His brown hair moved slightly in the wind. He wore a formal Britain uniform and looked down calmly at the battlefield below.
He spoke.
"Immortal Feral Soul Combination Move. Seven Phantom Giant."
Seven enormous giants appeared in the sky.
Each one was fifteen meters tall.
One after another they fell toward the sea and crashed onto the Rank 6 Immortal Feral Soul Machine War Ship.
The first giant landed.
The second followed.
When the third giant struck the ship, the War Ship was completely destroyed.
Undin immediately suffered backlash from the destruction of War Ship Feral Soul machine.
The ship split apart, sinking into the ocean.
Undin and the other Rank 7 immortals quickly escaped from the wreckage and swam out of the broken remains.
Trion and Triton were the last to emerge.
Before they could move further, another phantom giant descended from above.
It crushed both of them instantly.
Undin witnessed the scene and roared in anger.
"Immortal Feral Soul Combination Move. Blazing Sun."
Suddenly a brilliant sunlight appeared within the night sky. The blazing light swept across the battlefield and erased the remaining phantom giants.
Andrew Jackson watched from the sky with surprise.
"A Rank 8 Feral Soul immortal."
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Interesting. I knew something was strange about the Blue Sea."
His smile vanished again as his thoughts deepened.
Defeating a Rank 8 immortal and killing one were two completely different matters. There was no guarantee that he could win.
Then his lips curved into a wide grin and he laughed loudly.
"A Rank 8 immortal i will not fight but anyone below Rank 7. Against them, I will show no mercy hahaha."
Meanwhile, in another part of the battlefield.
Light Path immortal cultivator Harry Grey flew toward Siren and Sirena, the two Rank 7 demons who had accompanied Lucifer earlier.
"Immortal Feral Soul Combination Move. Light Emperor."
Harry Grey's body was instantly covered in dazzling light armor. A radiant sword formed along his left arm, and two wings of light spread out from his back.
He had long black hair and an average appearance. Like Andrew Jackson, he wore the white uniform of Britain.
He rushed forward and sliced Siren's head in half.
Sirena, who was carrying the unconscious Lucifer, screamed in panic.
"I'll kill you. Damn you!"
Veins appeared on her forehead as rage filled her face. In her fury she dropped the unconscious Lucifer, and his body fell into the sea below.
Sirena flew toward Harry Grey while shouting curses.
Harry turned his head toward the noise.
He saw her rushing toward him from a distance.
He closed his eyes and laughed.
Pointing his finger toward her, he said mockingly,
"Wishing for death? Come then. I shall grant you your....."
Before he could finish speaking, his entire body suddenly erupted in flames.
Harry Grey immediately dove into the sea as smoke rose from his burning armor.
Senryanku laughed.
"You underestimate us too much."
His body was covered in flames as he shot into the water at full speed. He descended deep into the sea where Lucifer was still sinking.
Senryanku caught him and stored him inside his Spirit Land.
Then he flew back toward Sirena.
But when he reached the area, he saw something unexpected.
Harry Grey was already there.
Sirena had fainted from exhaustion, and Harry was holding her body in his right hand.
Suddenly the sea exploded with a massive splash.
Boom. Splash.
Boom.
Andrew Jackson descended from the sky and landed in the ocean between Senryanku and Harry Grey.
A furious voice echoed across the sea.
"Damn you!"
"You killed them all!"
Undin's voice came from a distance. His eyes were bloodshot with rage.
Senryanku looked at the scene with a frown.
Then he flew straight into the sky.
In the next moment, he vanished from sight.
