Chapter 480: Visitors From a Foreign Land

The South Sea, with its vast expanse of misty waves and boundless expanse.

Within the Mermaid Kingdom, beyond the southernmost underwater Great Wall, lies a desolate sea where hardly any living fish swim in the waters.

And at the heart of this enormous underwater Great Wall, lies the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom, where the Mermaids have dutifully guarded this territory throughout the ages, faithfully following the commands of their ancestors and defending against the enemies further to the south.

Although not far to the south lies the living beings' forbidden land, the Extreme Hell Black Water, even cultivators are unable to enter its depths, as it serves as an absolute boundary of the world.

However, the existence of this colossal underwater Great Wall for many years is by no means a random act.

Above the underwater Great Wall, at regular intervals, communication stations and contact points are established. These contact points also serve as crucial nodes of the defensive formation. This vast underwater Great Wall serves as not only a barrier, but also a terrifying defensive formation against the south.

Underneath this massive defensive formation that shields the north and south, no living being can pass through the Marine Great Wall without escaping the watchful gaze of the Mermaids.

…Of course, there may also be exceptions present.

Now, near a section of the Great Wall that is over two thousand miles away from the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom, there is a group of unfamiliar figures arriving from further south.

These figures arrived by wading through the water, and their origin remains unknown as their names are not recorded in the official documents of the Mermaid Kingdom. This serves as proof that they don't come from the north.

However, to the south lies the treacherous Extreme Hell Black Water, a realm uninhabitable by any living beings. Cultivators are unable to fly over it or traverse its depths. In theory, it is impossible for anyone to emerge from the Extreme Hell Black Water.

Yet, this group of individuals defied conventional wisdom and appeared nonetheless.

They were not numerous in number, comprising both men and women, totaling approximately twenty individuals. Though cloaked in garments that concealed their true forms, if one were to uncover these robes and reveal their cultivation levels, each person's profound cultivation would be enough to awe the world and secure them a position among the celestial ranks in the Heavenly Court.

However, this group of individuals with formidable cultivation levels has now chosen a stealthy approach, silently approaching the city walls that are currently unattended by any Mermaid patrols.

After nearing the towering Sea Great Wall, someone emerged and retrieved a certain magical artifact, affixing it onto the city wall. In a glimmer of faint light, an impenetrable arch-shaped gate materialized out of thin air upon the unassailable walls of the Mermaid Kingdom's Sea Great Wall.

These twenty figures filed in one by one, easily infiltrating the other end of the city wall, yet the powerful formation that covered the entire wall didn't give any alarm.

It is evident that the intricate formations set up by the Mermaids were unable to detect the anomaly occurring in this location.

Upon entering the northern side of the city wall along with the twenty figures, the arch-shaped gate behind them vanished. The individual who had retrieved the magical artifact earlier securely stowed it away before turning to their leader who was at the forefront.

"Supreme God, what should we do next?"

The person humbly inquired, without daring to show the slightest hint of disrespect.

The person referred to as the Supreme God chuckled softly, emitting a melodic sound reminiscent of silver bells.

"Since we have entered, let's first go and rendezvous with Annihilation Venerable One. In this era of the Celestial Desolation Realm, unlike before, the Human Emperor Palace is no longer a worthy target of attention."

"It is said that a top cultivator, imitating the ancient Tianmo Fu Xi, has established a so-called Heavenly Court, consolidating the power of the entire Celestial Desolation Realm."

"If we act recklessly and expose our identities, it would be a great pity to be outnumbered and surrounded, resulting in our demise."

"And with Ban Qi present as well, it is likely that someone here is yearning for their lover with great intensity. It would be beneficial to allow them to reunite sooner rather than later."

The gentle laughter of the Supreme God instantly caused everyone around to burst into laughter.

Only a lowered-headed woman with a reddened face remained silent and unable to speak.

Just at this moment, a squad of Mermaid patrol soldiers happened to pass by, and from a distance, everyone could sense the repulsive aura emitted by the Mermaids.

That is the aura specifically designed to expel this group of foreign visitors.

Even though the cultivation of this patrol of Mermaids was quite low, they still managed to evoke genuine repulsion from the crowd.

In the crowd, someone raised their hand, intending to casually wipe away these nauseating Mermaids.

However, the supreme god intervened and stopped him.

"Do not act rashly," the supreme god said with indifference, "Drawing their attention will only bring us no benefit. Our purpose for coming here this time is merely to observe the current state of the Celestial Desolation Realm and evaluate the worth of the so-called Heavenly Court. If we truly intend to engage in a major conflict, let us save it for another time."

"If it is possible to avoid taking lives this time, then we shall spare them,"

"The wolf mentioned in the intelligence, although it has vanished for many years, still has the possibility of lurking in the depths of the Celestial Desolation Realm."

"Killing a few Mermaids is a trivial matter, but if things escalate and provoke that wolf, I can still escape unscathed, but the rest of you will find it difficult…"

The few words spoken by the supreme god in a seemingly casual manner sent a shiver down everyone's spine, compelling them to suppress the disgust and murderous intent that lurked within their hearts.

The wolf mentioned in the intelligence…

That rumored terrifying entity capable of wielding heavenly thunder is currently casting a dark cloud over the hearts of cultivators in all realms.

Even those top-notch ancestors in all realms would be reluctant to come across that wolf, which is why they dispatched two teams to investigate the situation.

Otherwise, following the usual cultivate, once the time comes, the elite beings from all realms will directly emerge and exterminate the malevolent creature in this realm, there would be no need for any prior investigation…

Observing from a distance as the patrol guards of Mermaids strutted by, enduring the repulsive aura emanating from those Mermaids, the cultivators' expressions were all grim.

In their respective sect territories, they were all dominant figures, possessing formidable strength. Wherever they went, they were treated as honored guests. Never before had they endured such humiliation as they do now.

To my astonishment, they could only watch helplessly as a group of repulsive-smelling Mermaids passed by right in front of their eyes, unable to take action…

After the departure of the Mermaid patrol guards, the supreme god let out a sigh before saying, "Let us go and meet Annihilation Venerable One in the Lava Mountains."

Speaking thus, twenty figures instantly transformed into a pitch-black streak of hidden light, heading towards the north from the icy waters.

Concealing their forms and completely veiling their own auras, even the most eminent cultivators would find it exceedingly challenging to perceive their existence.

Moreover, on their journey, they hardly encountered any top-tier cultivators.

Even the ancient methods left behind by the Heavenly Court in the South Sea could not detect their arrival, thus ensuring the absence of any military conflicts.

Little did they anticipate that the very White Wolf which instilled fear in them would now be located in the heart of the Lava Mountains, beneath the magma lake.

Within the bloody underground lava lake, the air carries a tremendously intense scent of blood and a foreboding aura of death.

In the void stands Lu Heng, adorned in a rare white garment stained with fresh blood, his countenance icy and indifferent, as he stands with hands clasped behind his back.

Amidst the countless splattered celestial and divine remains before him, the final surviving visitor from a distant land now trembles and fearfully kneels before him, desperately pleading for mercy.

"Heavenly Lord, have mercy! Heavenly Lord, have mercy!"

Ban Qi, the cultivator, was known to be the weakest in strength among the group, and also the last one to meet his demise.

The tragic deaths of those ancestral cultivators, especially the scene where the renowned and esteemed Annihilation Buddhist Venerable One, who was proclaimed to be the pinnacle of superiority across all realms, was torn into pieces and suffered a miserable demise, deeply engraved itself in Ban Qi's eyes. It robbed him of all courage to resist, rendering him incapable of ever being conceited again.

He knelt before Lu Heng, weeping in anguish, begging for mercy, "I promise to wholeheartedly repent upon my return! I shall never set foot in the Celestial Desolation Realm again! Oh, Heavenly Lord, have mercy! Heavenly Lord, please spare me!"
