The dense fog quickly enveloped the entire sea surface, causing visibility to drop to its lowest instantaneously.

Meanwhile, the fleet below halted its movement at this moment.

Gigantic tentacles emerged from beneath the sea, winding around the ship's hull, striking great pits into it.

The ship soon began to shake.

Even though this ship had undergone special modifications at Silence Bookstore, it could not withstand such terrifying attacks. The sea monster's tentacles slapped against the ships, while a group of Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators desperately attacked these tentacles.

One tentacle after another was destroyed, severed.

But for every tentacle killed, more would stretch out, completely indefatigable.

Soon, more and more tentacles entirely enveloped the large ship, while the dense fog grew thicker, severely affecting the Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators, making flying within the fog extraordinarily difficult.

The large ship was covered by countless tentacles, dragged towards the deep sea.

A group of Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators, due to the fog, were unable to fly, submerging into the sea alongside the large ship.

Everyone hoped that the senior at the bookstore would cast the divine technique once again.

But it was evident.

On the island, the senior at the bookstore, after transforming into godhood, had fallen into a weakened state, finding it challenging to use the divine technique again.

Facing a deity.

Was already beyond human capacity.

No matter how strong the senior at the bookstore was, it was impossible to combat a deity.

This was clearly the true intervention of the Mirage King.

The Legendary Ship of Baiyu, and the Deep Sea Demon Whale of War Frenzy, these Eclipse Moon Realm cultivators with their own "transportation," were not caught in this attack.

However.

People like Baiyu and War Frenzy were ultimately a minority.

Most of the Eclipse Moon Realm still accompanied the large ship, plunging into the seabed together with everyone.

After Silence Bookstore's large ship was dragged into the seabed by tentacles, those tentacles reached out again from the depths of the sea, commencing moves on survivors like Baiyu and War Frenzy.

Baiyu certainly wouldn't sit idly and await doom.

However, the surrounding fog, like a giant hand, firmly seized the Legendary Ship, preventing it from leaving the area no matter how hard it tried.

More and more tentacles stretched out.

Baiyu could vaguely discern beneath the vast sea surface, a gigantic monster, its size equaled hundreds of blue whales, appearing endless at a glance.

"Is this the true form of the Mirage King?"

Baiyu's expression was shocked, fully operating the power of Black Moon Divine Power and the Power of Destruction inside, trying to break free from the restraints of this area for the Legendary Ship. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This sea surface was not the main battleground.

The true form of the Mirage King seemed to be a marine creature, leaving Baiyu with no opportunity to escape during water combat.

Previously on land.

Several encounters with the Mirage King, this fellow hadn't been this formidable.

Just.

After being enshrouded in the fog, Baiyu seemed to have lost all means of escape, unable to move within the fog even with his utmost efforts.

"Erza, now with this situation, do you have any way to break free from this fog?"

Baiyu asked Erza.

But the Ship Spirit could only shake its head: "Can't break free, the resistance transmitted in the fog is far too great, the forces there, like chains, I simply can't break loose."

Baiyu frowned.

Facing a divine spirit was indeed too insane, even though he hadn't seen the true form of the Mirage King yet, he was already caught in dire straits.

If things continue like this...

It seems he could only attempt to fully activate the Black Moon Power inside.

Just as Baiyu was about to go all out, fighting a decisive battle against these tentacles, the fog in the air suddenly boiled, quickly evaporating, a beam of sunlight shone onto the Legendary Ship.

"Mirage, you've crossed the line."

Up in the sky, a voice familiar to Baiyu echoed.

A woman emanating a dazzling divine light floated mid-air, countless rays of light radiated from her, dispersing the surrounding.

The fog immediately vanished where the rays shone.

Those tentacles also instantly disintegrated into powder and re-dissolved into the sea.

At this moment.

From the depths of the ocean came a roar of fury.

Huge storm waves suddenly surged on the sea surface, with gigantic waterspouts from each vortex shooting towards the sky aimed at the glowing woman, attempting to kill her.

"Quiet."

One word escaped her lips, freezing the turbulent sea as if a "pause" button had been pressed, with rising waterspouts and billowing waves frozen in the air.

Then, golden symbols floated around the woman.

These golden symbols formed a mysterious array.

She pressed down with one hand.

The array relentlessly descended onto the sea surface, on the Legendary Ship above Baiyu, clearly visible, the seawater evaporated at an observable speed, causing the sea level here to rapidly decline.

That golden sigil delved further into the sea.

Ultimately, crashing hard onto the buried deep-sea monster.

The surrounding waterspouts collapsed in this moment.

Fog instantly dispersed too.

After the sea monster was repelled, the woman reached out and summoned the ship previously dragged into the sea by tentacles from the Silence Bookstore.

"Guardian, Demons have already started combat, those Evil Gods are becoming restless as well, you must not be careless."

The woman admonished the senior at the bookstore, then descended onto Baiyu's Legendary Ship.

The opposite was indeed the City Lord.

However.

This time the City Lord was not a stone statue, but a human with flesh and blood, alive.

Her face was covered in blinding light, making her countenance indistinguishable, Baiyu attempted to look closely but was forced shut by the glaring light.

"Let's go, you've established connection with the Moon God, staying in the Silence Bookstore serves little purpose now."

The City Lord pressed Baiyu's shoulder.

Shortly after.

Light erupted from the City Lord, encompassing the entire Legendary Ship. Then this light rapidly shrunk, transformed into a light point, disappearing from the sea surface.

As the light enveloped the Legendary Ship and Baiyu, they vanished at this moment.

...

At the ancient and grand city, a crowd bustling non-stop.

Over the port of the Great City,

The Legendary Ship suddenly appeared above, scaring the people at the port momentarily, but soon after the Great City's guards arrived to maintain order.

Breathing deeply, Baiyu drew in a breath.

This capability akin to instant teleportation was truly astounding.

"Come on, let's discuss back at the castle."

The City Lord flashed a beam of light and vanished from the Legendary Ship again.

Even though Baiyu held numerous questions in his heart, he could only keep quiet for now.

After the Legendary Ship was docked.

Machima and Loloya quickly arrived beside Baiyu.

"You look in good spirits. How's the Silence Bookstore? I visited there myself, learned quite a bit."

Loloya flashed her trademark smile.

Beside her, though Machima didn't smile, her eyes still revealed joy for Baiyu's safe return.
