Chapter 26: Destroying the Wan Island Alliance

Above the Inner Sea, 4,000 pirate factions led by Tianfeng Fort were at war, destined to sweep away all existing pirate groups and achieve complete unity.

Within the Inner Sea, there were now four sea dominators. With a little assistance, their strength could be greatly enhanced. Coupled with the help of Tianfeng Fort, these four dominators could rule over all the sea beasts in the Inner Sea.

Qu Yi chose to come to the Inner Sea not only to find a new base for Tianfeng Fort but also to boost the strength of all its members at the Divine General level. Another reason was the resources available there.

The Inner Sea was rich in precious materials—countless treasures like Divine Blood Jade Ganoderma grew there.

Once he controlled the Inner Sea, Qu Yi would have a vast source of resources at his disposal, allowing him to amass wealth at an astonishing rate. At least, the materials needed for crafting would be readily available, sparing him the trouble of searching elsewhere.

“Thundereye Ice Crocodile, Four-Armed Water Ape, Earthshaking Crab, Nine-Headed Imperial Snake—cultivate here at the bottom of the sea. I’m going back to the surface,” Qu Yi said after taking control of the four sea dominators.

“Yes, master,” the four dominators replied in unison.

Qu Yi nodded and left the seabed, returning to the surface before entering the Dimensional Sphere.

Three space rings, three divine artifacts at the Divine General level, and one puppet artifact were placed before him—these were obtained from Yan Feng, Gongye Ping, and Gongye Jing.

“The Flame-Bearing Sword, the Water-Condensing Sword, and the Spirit-Soothing Sword—all three are of high quality. It seems these three held significant positions in the Yan and Gongye clans. Now that they’re dead, those clans won’t let me go easy on them.”

“The three space rings contain many items—divine pills, divine crystals, and divine artifacts. Unfortunately, they’re useless to me.”

“This True God Puppet is actually a divine artifact at the Divine General level, equivalent to a powerful warrior of that rank. It might be useful to me.”

Qu Yi inspected each item, assessed their levels, and decided how to handle them. He would keep the Flame-Bearing Sword, the Water-Condensing Sword, the Spirit-Soothing Sword, and the True God Puppet for himself. The crafting materials from the three space rings would be taken by him, while the rest of the items would be distributed among the members of Tianfeng Fort.

Immediately afterward, Qu Yi began extracting the life essence of Yan Feng and Gongye Jing, preparing to continue refining it to increase the number of spiritual entities in his body.

The four thousand pirate groups formed by Tianfeng Fort have been wiping out various existing pirate groups in the inland seas. Basically, those smaller and less powerful pirate groups have all been eliminated by Tianfeng Fort. Only a few larger pirate groups still exist in the inland seas, but their activity areas have been restricted by Tianfeng Fort, preventing them from roaming widely. Among these remaining groups are the number one powerful Sea Emperor Pirate Group, the number two powerful Devouring Sea Pirate Group, and the last remaining force, the Thousand Islands Alliance. Now, Tianfeng Fort’s four thousand pirate groups are ready to launch a final campaign to eradicate these surviving pirate groups. The first target, of course, is the Thousand Islands Alliance. In the waters around Beiyang Island lies the domain of the Sea Emperor Pirate Group, where all smaller pirate groups must submit and pay tribute regularly. The waters around Nanyin Island are under the control of the Devouring Sea Pirate Group, forcing smaller groups to submit and deliver supplies regularly, otherwise they will be eliminated by this group. The ten thousand pirate groups under the Thousand Islands Alliance are scattered across the entire inland sea, and only by uniting can they resist the oppression of the Sea Emperor and Devouring Sea Pirate Groups. Naturally, the headquarters of the Thousand Islands Alliance is located in the central waters of the inland sea. At this moment, out of the four thousand pirate groups from Tianfeng Fort, one thousand have already regrouped and arrived in the central waters, surrounding the headquarters of the Thousand Islands Alliance. With five thousand group leaders at the Divine General level and fifty thousand members at the Divine Human level, their momentum is immense. The flying sea ships in the sky form a circle around the headquarters, awaiting the attack order from their leader, Zhu Chen. The Thousand Islands Alliance’s forces at its headquarters include ten elders at the Divine General level, along with a hundred powerful warriors at the same level, plus ten thousand pirates at the Divine Human level. The ten elders—Yu Qiu, Xing Jia, Han Heng, Yu Shuqing, Yue Mingxue, Yun Yuqing, Yi Ziang, Xuan Qiming, Yan Jingwen, and Xuan Qinghui—are flying together in the sky, calmly observing Zhu Chen, their presence no less formidable than that of Tianfeng Fort’s forces. “You are the ones who have been killing relentlessly in these inland seas for hundreds of thousands of years, right?” asked the first elder, Yu Qiu, as he stared calmly at Zhu Chen.

Although facing over 50,000 men from Tianfeng Fort, Yu Qiu felt no fear at all. He had always been confident in his own strength and had already made up his mind: if he couldn’t scare those people away today, he would flee and take revenge on Tianfeng Fort later. As for the other members of the Wan Dao Alliance, Yu Qiu didn’t care much—after all, his own life came first, and he wouldn’t risk it for a mere nominal title.

Zhu Chen stepped forward from the void, smiling and saying, “The Wan Dao Alliance shall perish today. If you have any last words, speak now—after this, you won’t have another chance.”

He made his intentions clear right away!

Instantly, both sides exuded a deadly, grim atmosphere.

“Tianfeng’s heroes, sweep through the Inner Sea! In this battle, destroy the Wan Dao Alliance!” Zhu Chen shouted loudly, his voice audible throughout the entire headquarters of the Wan Dao Alliance.

“Destroy! Destroy! Destroy!”

The 50,000 men of Tianfeng Fort were filled with passion as they roared in response. They took control of their flying ships and landed on the island, ready to attack the Divine Being-level members of the Wan Dao Alliance.

Meanwhile, the 1,000 Divine General-level members of Tianfeng Fort flew in the air, grouped in teams of nine, and launched a joint attack on the 110 Divine General-level members of the Wan Dao Alliance.

Of course, the Wan Dao Alliance wasn’t going to sit idly by either—battle cries filled the air.

On land, the 10,000 Divine Being-level members of the Wan Dao Alliance, unable to fly, mustered their courage, wielding their divine artifacts to face the 50,000 men from Tianfeng Fort.

“Kill them! Slice those scum of the Wan Dao Alliance to pieces!”

“Brothers, let’s compete—see who can kill the most!”

“Haven’t had meat in days—let’s have our fill today!”

The 50,000 men of Tianfeng Fort stood before the Divine Being-level members of the Wan Dao Alliance, sneering and shouting, before unleashing a wave of collective spells.

A sea of spells covered everything—spells formed from elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. With howling sounds and violent storms, they all targeted the 10,000 members of the Wan Dao Alliance.

The 10,000 members of the Wan Dao Alliance didn’t dare back down. They knew that fear meant instant death. They also unleashed their own spells with all their might to counter those incoming attacks, barely managing to hold them off.

While the 10,000 members of the Wan Dao Alliance were blocking their spells, the 50,000 men from Tianfeng Fort took the opportunity to close in on them.

“Divine artifacts, explode!”

“Let the divine artifacts self-destruct—die now!”

“You bastards! I have plenty of divine artifacts—here’s one for you!”

Suddenly, 50,000 divine artifact-level weapons flew out from the hands of the 50,000 people in Tianfeng Fort and arrived directly in front of the 10,000 members of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, where they immediately exploded.
Yes, divine artifact-level weapons—for Qu Yi, he could obtain as many as he wanted at any time. Not only could Qu Yi himself produce a large number of such weapons, but the crafting center established by the Fangqi Pavilion in Bai Shou Village could also produce around 40,000 divine artifact-level weapons in just one day.
Therefore, when Qu Yi decided to start wiping out the last few major pirate groups in the Inner Sea, he had already acquired countless divine artifact-level weapons and distributed them to all the members of Tianfeng Fort who had reached the divine human realm, with each person receiving about ten such weapons.
Boom, boom, boom…
Fifty thousand loud explosions occurred simultaneously. In front of the 10,000 divine human realm members of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance, at least one divine artifact exploded for each of them, with its violent energy striking them head-on.
“Ah…”
“How despicable! I refuse to accept this!”
“What kind of force is this? How can they have so many divine artifacts?”
“I curse you! You already have the numerical advantage—why be so cunning?”
The 10,000 divine human realm members of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance cursed in anger, but it was merely their despair before death. With wave after wave of intense energy hitting them, how could these members resist? Their bodies shattered, and their souls were destroyed.
Ha…
The death of all 10,000 divine human realm members of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance immediately brought laughter to the 50,000 divine human realm members of Tianfeng Fort, who laughed with great satisfaction.
Undoubtedly, all the ordinary members of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance were now dead.
The 110 powerful warriors of the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance at the divine general realm, though aware that their 10,000 divine human realm members had died and filled with anger, none of them distracted themselves to intervene. They were already struggling to fend off the attack of 1,000 divine general realm warriors led by Zhu Chen.
Basically, in each battle, nine divine general realm warriors from Tianfeng Fort surrounded one warrior from the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.
Such battles were one-sided affairs.
“Attack!”
In almost every battlefield, several warriors from Tianfeng Fort would shout simultaneously, followed by a wave of spells. Their spiritual bodies merged to create blades and swords, along with winds and ice, which were mercilessly sent at the opponent from the Ten Thousand Islands Alliance.

There was no way around it; in each battlefield, the strong members of the Archipelago Alliance who were surrounded not only couldn’t counterattack but also struggled to defend themselves, barely managing to hold off attacks. Of course, the weaker members of the Archipelago Alliance had already been killed. Before long, among the Divine General-level members on the Archipelago Alliance’s side, only ten elders like Yu Qiu were still alive.
