!"My lords, I... have returned."The voice of the Immortal King rang out clearly from within the cave."Supreme King... Welcome home!"Every immortal being bowed their heads, none daring to meet the gaze...After communicating with Fang Yu, Cang Yu raised her head and looked at the four commanders in front of her.

"Let's go back," Cangyu said.

"...Your Highness, the bodies of the three princes...do they need to be..." A commander hesitated and asked.

"No need, the battlefield is too chaotic now. We can't transport their bodies back." Cangyu looked towards the distance where the towering black dog was slaughtering thousands of alien creatures, a hint of fear in his eyes.

This black dog... must also have been released by Fang Yu.

Such a fearsome beast is actually controlled by a human cultivator.

As you can imagine, just how terrifying this human cultivator truly is.

"Understood."

The four commanders, of course, dared not disobey Cang Yu's order now and immediately bowed their heads in response.

"We should leave this place soon," Cangyu said, flying northward first, her speed incredibly fast.

The four leaders glanced at Cang Yang lying dead on the ground, then looked at the other two princes who were also lying there.

Then, they gritted their teeth and set off to follow Cang Yu.

……

Not long after Cangyu and his party left, Fang Yu returned to the original location.

He came to the spot where Li Yuan died, and on the ground he found an object similar to a bamboo tube.

This is exactly the meditation chime that Li Yuan used to conceal the aura of the Saint Fruit.

"Even the frigid essence combined with the power of the jade soul wasn't able to shatter it, seems like a good thing." Fang Yu held the Wuzhen chime, brought it close to his eyes, and observed it carefully.

Soon, he realized that this bamboo-like meditation bowl was actually a storage pouch.

But it has a characteristic that ordinary storage bags do not, namely, it isolates all scents.

“No wonder it can block the aura of the sacred fruit. It's really a good thing, and it will definitely come in handy later.” Fang Yu put away the Wuzen Chóng.

Then he looked up, and saw some of Liuyuan's remains.

To be honest, Li Yuan really has bad luck.

After Fang Yu saved him, he discovered that his motives were impure.

But at that time, Fang Yu didn't intend to do anything to him either.

Unexpectedly, while he was acting with Cangyu later on, Li Yuan barged into the set and even tried to steal the crucial prop, the Sacred Fruit, from the play.

There's no other way, Liuyuan can only die.

As for Cangyu, taking the sacred fruit back means the first step of the plan is a success.

After that, as long as Fang Yu takes it step by step, he will definitely be able to push Cangyu to the position of crown prince.

After obtaining the throne, how to become the Sea Emperor

This is a very simple thing.

All we need is an opportunity to take out Emperor Shenhai. Then, as the Crown Prince, Cangyu will naturally inherit the throne.

Fang Yu chose to do this, rather than a direct confrontation, for a very simple reason.

He didn't want to waste time endlessly dealing with these massive hordes of alien creatures.

Bear in mind, these alien creatures are nothing to the feathered ones, but a disaster for ordinary human cultivators.

Therefore, once alien creatures attack, Fang Yu will still have to take action to solve the problem.

Fang Yu couldn't waste too much time on such pointless things.

And if the Sea God Dynasty could be controlled, this trouble would be solved completely.

The Divine Sea Dynasty could be a major asset in the fight against the various alien races.

As for whether the creatures within the Divine Sea Dynasty were willing... that didn't need to be considered at all.

Fang Yu, from his interactions with Cangyu, roughly understood the power structure within the Shenhai Dynasty.

The supreme power belongs to the Emperor, followed by the Empress.

And below the emperor and empress were the various princes within the imperial family.

Below the prince are the regional governors.

And the territories ruled over by the territorial lords... were all sorts of alien creatures.

Therefore, one only needs to grasp the emperor's power and purge the imperial family. Then, all the lower levels will have no choice but to obey orders.

Of course, Fang Yu's current idea is still rather idealistic.

Specifically implementing it will definitely encounter quite a few troubles.

But to be honest, Fang Yu wasn't worried.

This was just a plan he had thought up on the spur of the moment.

Even if we fail, at worst we just return to the old path and confront the Divine Sea Dynasty head-on.

Although it might be a bit more troublesome, it's not fatal.

"Boom..."

Fang Yu was still lost in thought when a sudden roar echoed from behind him.

Fan Yu turned around and looked back, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The current Void Devourer is already several hundred meters tall.

It roared, and with a sweep of its foreclaws, it could disintegrate thousands of alien creatures that charged at it, sending them to their deaths in screams.

Its mouth opened wide, swallowing thousands of alien creatures flying in the air.

To the creatures of other races, the Void Devourer at this moment was like an ancient demon god, impossible to resist.

Therefore, it is clear that the number of alien creatures rushing towards the Void Devourer is dwindling.

Though those low-ranking alien creatures are mindless, with the disappearance of the aura of the holy fruit, their fanaticism has naturally vanished as well.

Once the fervor subsided, fear took over.

Faced with the terrifying behemoth before them, they instinctively wanted to run away!

"Boom..."

Behind, smoke and dust billowed up, a sign of the alien race desperately fleeing.

And right now, the Void Devourer is still rampaging and killing indiscriminately, seemingly enjoying itself.

Fang Yu decided to leave it alone for now and flew to Dahuoshan by himself.

The tree that bore the sacred fruit was located on the eastern slope of Mount Da Zhou, close to its summit.

Fang Yu quickly found the tree.

This tree grew so crooked, its bark was a dull yellow, and there wasn't a single leaf or other fruit on its branches.

Its roots were in the cracks of the rock face.

Just like a holy fruit, this tree looked like an ordinary withered one with no special aura emanating from it.

"Could it be that in order to bear the sacred fruit, all the nutrients of the tree were absorbed, which is why it became so withered"

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then reached out and grasped the not-too-thick trunk with his hand, pulling hard.

"Bang!"

The whole tree was pulled out of the ground by Fang Yu with brute force, and the rock face where its roots were embedded exploded directly.

Once the entire tree was uprooted, Fang Yu was stunned.

This tree doesn't have any roots at all.

The base of the trunk, or the tree trunk itself.

It seems... this tree wasn't grown gradually, but rather was directly inserted into the rock face.

Given the tree's location, this is a strong possibility.

After all, there are no nutrients in this rock face. It's impossible to imagine a tree growing here, let alone bearing fruit.

But, the Holy Fruit also has what is called a ripening day.

This tree and the sacred fruit, did they grow slowly... or were they forcefully inserted into the rock face by some kind of power

Fang Yu thought about it, but didn't come up with a satisfactory conclusion.

But he had no intention of investigating further.

Since the Spiritual Awakening, there have been too many things that cannot be explained by past common sense and cognition.

Now, he only needed to know that gathering six sacred fruits would bring him great benefits, and that was enough.

"Boom..."

Before Dahu Mountain, the Void Devourer was still slaughtering those alien creatures who hadn't had time to escape.

"It's time to wrap things up."

Fang Yu originally wanted to just throw the tree in his hand away, but after thinking about it... he still put it into his storage space.

After that, he was ready to return to the Void Devourer.

But just then.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud boom echoed through the air.

Fang Yu looked up, his eyes flickering.

He then remembered that the Devourer King of the ancient clan was still trapped by him in the Starfield.

And now, the Devourer finally breaks through the starry expanse and emerges.

"The Devourer King... could he be related to the Half-Spirits" Fang Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, his figure moving as he shot upwards.

At this moment, above the clouds.

The ash-white body of the Devourer King was revealed.

It turned its head, looking at the fading black sphere behind it. Its gray-white pupils showed no sign of emotional fluctuation.

However, its aura was incredibly cold.

It had actually been trapped by a human cultivator within an array for such a long time!

Now even the aura of the sacred fruit can't be sensed.

The battle below... seems to be over.

Damn it! Damn it!

The Devourer King was usually calm, but at this time he couldn't suppress the anger and killing intent in his chest.

It came this time, intending to seize the Holy Fruit.

But now, its time has been delayed.

Even the whereabouts of the holy fruit are unknown.

This means... it came away from this trip empty-handed.

Although it had prepared itself for utter ruin beforehand.

But now things are different.

It already had the holy fruit in its grasp, but was forcefully taken away by a human cultivator!wo walked side by side, quickly leaving the banquet hall behind and onto a pedestrian walkway."Sannin, should we leave immediately" Haku asked."Well, I need to take this document back as soon as possi...
