In truth, strength was secondary to Fang Chen's strength. Loyalty was the most important thing.
Loyalty was the only thing that could truly help him.
Fang Chen had only told Little Mouse about his idea. Who would have thought that the three of them would join hands and capture a seahorse alive?
"Boss, what do you think of this seahorse?" asked Little Mouse as he pointed at the seahorse he had captured.
"Although it's a little stupid, its cultivation is pretty good. It's at the Divine Spirit Realm."
Fang Chen was a little surprised, but he still nodded.
He had seen seahorses on Earth before. Who would have thought that he would encounter one in the Divine World?
This seahorse was not something the seahorses on Earth could compare to. Simply put, this seahorse was already a Divine Spirit Realm expert.
"You have two choices. Submit to me, or die," said Fang Chen.
"You want me to submit? That depends on whether you have the strength to do so," said the seahorse malevolently. It was unwilling to submit.
"Oh, so you're saying that if I defeat you, you'll submit to me?" asked Fang Chen with a smile.
"We'll talk about it after you defeat me," said the seahorse.
Fang Chen waved his hand, indicating for Little Mouse to release the seahorse.
"Make your move."
The seahorse's bloated body charged at Fang Chen with all its might. At the same time, a terrifying energy surged out of its body.
"The Law of Water has actually reached such a level."
Fang Chen's eyes lit up. Although the seahorse was only at the Divine Spirit Realm, its usage of the Law of Water was even worse than his.
Crash.
The Law of Water was gentle and unceasing.
The seahorse's attack was a continuation of the Law of Water's power. It was like the water of the East Sea, unceasing.
However, Fang Chen was a Divine Ancestor Realm expert. Dealing with the seahorse was easy.
Bang.
After exchanging a few blows with the seahorse, he threw out a punch and sent the seahorse flying.
"You've lost," said Fang Chen as he stared at the seahorse.
"Hmph, if you agree to a bet, you must accept your loss," the seahorse said in a low voice.
Fang Chen nodded and took out a Spirit Breaking Fruit from his chest. He handed it to the seahorse and said, "Since you have decided to follow me, this Spirit Breaking Fruit is for you." Fang Chen said.
When the seahorse saw this, it was stunned for a moment before it was overjoyed.
He had been stuck at the bottleneck for a long time. If he could consume the Spirit Breaking Fruit, he would definitely be able to break through to the Divinity Ancestor Realm.
The seahorse looked at Fang Chen in a daze, then nodded heavily.
"I pledge my life to follow you, Master." The seahorse took the Spirit Breaking Fruit and said in a deep voice.
Then, the seahorse signed a contract with Fang Chen and recognized Fang Chen as its master.
"Swallow the Breakthrough Spirit Fruit first," Fang Chen said.
The seahorse transformed into its human form and sat down on the ground with its legs crossed as it began to digest the effects of the Spirit Breakthrough Fruit.
At this moment, Xiao Huang came over to join in the fun. "Boss, let's call him Xiao Hai from now on."
"Xiao Huang, are you still sad that I gave you this name?" Little Mouse asked.
Xiao Huang rolled his eyes and was speechless.
Just like that, the three of them happily decided that the seahorse's name would be Xiao Hai from now on.
With Fang Chen's help, the seahorse successfully broke through to the Divinity Ancestor Realm and its aura skyrocketed.
"Thank you, Master." The seahorse cupped its fists and thanked him.
"You don't have to thank me." Fang Chen waved his hand.
Suddenly, the seahorse seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly said, "Master, there's something that I don't know if I should tell you."
"What is it?"
"There's a Divine Lord Realm sea demon in the sea near Jadewave Island. He's extremely powerful.
This is his territory and we're all under his control.
If you take me away, he won't let you go. "The seahorse was a bit worried.
After all, its master's cultivation was only at the Divinity Ancestor Realm.
"Divine Lord Realm?" Fang Chen muttered to himself as a faint smile appeared on his face.
"If he dares to come, he can forget about leaving."
After breaking through to the Divinity Ancestor Realm, Fang Chen's strength had increased tremendously.
However, now wasn't the best time for revenge. Fang Chen was preparing to break through to the Saint Realm in the Dao of Formations and return to the Easternmost Land. That would be the time for his revenge.
Finally, Little Mouse and the other three often went to the bottom of the sea to fight with the sea demons.
Of course, they wouldn't just randomly catch some sea demons. It depended on the potential of the sea demons.
The seahorse's potential was very strong. Not long after it broke through to the Divinity Ancestor Realm, its natural ability had awakened and its strength was comparable to a Divine Lord Realm expert.
Time passed. Fang Chen accompanied Star and Moon while studying formations.
This was the happiest time that Star and Moon had spent in the Divinity Realm.
However, behind the peace, there were always some waves.
On a dark and windy night, the waves in the East Sea were turbulent.
A strong gust of wind blew the waves onto the beach, stirring up waves after waves.
A crescent moon hung in the sky and shone on Emerald Ripple Island, making it look white and flawless.
Emerald Ripple Island was very quiet at night.
In addition, Fang Chen had set up a Saint Realm formation. Even if someone approached, they wouldn't be able to easily enter Emerald Ripple Island.
Splash!
A wooden sword suddenly appeared on the dark surface of the sea.
The wooden sword glided so quickly that it couldn't be seen with the naked eye.
If one looked carefully, they would discover that there was a man in green standing on the wooden sword.
The man's eyes were deep as he stared at Emerald Ripple Island in front of him. He couldn't help but smile.
"Has it finally arrived?"
The man in green said in a deep voice, "Successor of the Destruction Series, are you ready?"
For so many years, the man in green had been working hard on his cultivation.
Ever since he became a Heavenly God and awakened his inherited memories, he had been paying attention to the movements of the other five successors.
Through his tireless efforts, he had successfully found the three successors, killed them, and seized their power.
Now, the fourth successor had finally appeared. Moreover, it was the successor of the Destruction Series who was said to have the strongest attack power.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, the wooden sword whistled and arrived at the edge of Emerald Ripple Island.
When the man in green was about to step onto Emerald Ripple Island, he exclaimed softly. His consciousness had discovered the Saint Realm formation that enveloped Emerald Ripple Island.
"I didn't expect the successor of the Destruction Series to be a Saint Realm formation master." The man in green sneered. He took out a piece of rune paper from his chest. A wisp of flame appeared in his palm and instantly ignited the rune paper.
Hiss!
The burning rune paper floated in the sky, illuminating the surrounding sea.
Whoosh!
When the rune paper was about to burn out, a beam of light instantly shot into the Saint Realm formation.
Buzz!
A huge ripple appeared on the formation. The man in green put away the wooden sword and entered Emerald Ripple Island as if there was no one there.
"After seizing the power of the successor of the Destruction Series, I can become the strongest below the True God level."
The man in green licked his dry lips. He had a heart in his body that was exactly the same as Fang Chen's golden heart.
Dong!
The moment he stepped onto Emerald Ripple Island, the golden heart throbbed, as if it had sensed the successor of the Destruction Series.
At night, Emerald Ripple Island was very quiet. Fang Chen and the others had already fallen asleep.
Dong!
Suddenly, the beating of the golden heart woke Fang Chen up.
"What's going on?"
Fang Chen frowned. His expression was grave as he looked inwardly at the golden heart. He didn't know what had happened, but the rhythm of its beating was extremely chaotic.
"I've never experienced something like this before," said Fang Chen.
He glanced at the sleeping Star and Moon, then gently stood up and walked out of his immortal cave.
Looking up, he saw that the crescent moon in the sky was gradually covered by dark clouds. The entire world was pitch-black.
Fang Chen jumped onto a piece of bluestone and sat down cross-legged, sorting out his chaotic emotions.
"It's a very strange feeling."
He couldn't describe what he was feeling, but Fang Chen had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.
Fang Chen carefully sensed for a while. There was no problem with the Saint-level array.
This meant that no one had snuck into Emerald Ripple Island.
He shook his head and muttered to himself, "Maybe it's an illusion."
During this period of time, he had been concentrating intensely, so it was inevitable that he would hallucinate.
A cool breeze blew past, blowing on Fang Chen's face, making a rustling sound.
After trying hard to calm down for a while, Fang Chen stood up and prepared to return to his immortal cave.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, in the dark night sky, a sword light suddenly cut through the dark void and appeared in front of Fang Chen.
Almost at the same time, Fang Chen's figure disappeared, hiding in the void.
"Interesting."
The man in green appeared in the darkness. With a thought, the wooden sword returned to his hand.
Crash!
