Fang Yu escapes through a space passage opened by the mysterious Xu Yuan, who was blocking Chongyuan. Xu Yuan, a cripple with intimate knowledge of Space Law, intervenes due to a past betrayal and current interest in Fang Yu's potential. Chongyuan is trapped by Xu Yuan's powerful spatial abilities, leaving Fang Yu and his crew to reach the Southern Island Sea Region.
Could a top-tier captain make a move? The crew aboard the Salted Fish might have been the very first Blue Star Navigators to witness a peak captain in action. "Did you just feel that? It was incredible; I felt like the sky itself was collapsing, crushing down." "How could the sky collapse? What were you thinking? But yes, Sovereign Lanyun’s physical prowess is truly unmatched. It’s astounding what can be achieved when one’s physical body reaches its zenith," Du Ran expressed, his eyes wide with surprise and a deep sense of longing. Luo Kuan repeatedly shook his head, responding, "No, no!" "I actually saw Sovereign Lanyun in action; thousands of artillery roars erupted, the entire world was painted red by the flames of war, battle songs echoed, and ethereal soldiers began their fight. It was simply overwhelming!" Luo Kuan was also profoundly impressed. Luu Yuan and Ma, witnessing the spectacle, could not help but interject: "Why did I see Sovereign Lanyun controlling the entire ocean? Every drop of seawater transformed into a powerful weapon, attacking Mr. Zhao?" "Huh? I saw Sovereign Lanyun create a mental illusion realm, where illusions became reality, and words held the power to reshape existence?" The crew members began to discuss amongst themselves. Yet, their accounts did not align; each person perceived entirely different scenes, completely unrelated to one another. Fang Yu, listening to the crew’s chatter, softly sighed. In his assessment, neither at the soul level nor the life essence level could anyone present truly comprehend the peak actions being displayed. From Fang Yu’s perspective, the clash between the two peak experts wasn't about substantial abilities or direct assaults. Instead, it was a contest of deduction speed and innovative capabilities. However, the crew’s understanding was too rudimentary to grasp the full scope of the battle. Each individual could only perceive fragments based on their own strengths and comprehension. Luo Kuan saw fiery warfare and the thunder of cannons. Luu Yuan perceived dominion over the boundless sea, while Du Ran witnessed an indestructible, unyielding flesh, and Ma saw a mental illusionary domain where speech could bend reality. No one could see the complete picture; it was akin to gazing at the sky from the bottom of a well, discerning only familiar elements while failing to fully grasp the might of two peak-level powerhouses. Nevertheless, as Fang Yu observed, everyone gained valuable insights. Each crew member glimpsing even a sliver of these peak actions was sufficient inspiration, allowing them to learn immensely from the engagement. It was a positive outcome. However... At this precise moment, Fang Yu’s eyes narrowed, and he declared with firm resolve, "Everyone, cease your discussions and focus." "The danger has only just begun!" Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the crew’s expressions turned serious. They fell silent, their gazes fixed forward. Indeed, soon they beheld, on the sea ahead, ships whose shadows shimmered and gleamed, gradually solidifying from illusions with the play of light, effectively blocking the path for Fang Yu and Kong Huaao. Seeing this, everyone was startled. How was this possible... Their current location was near the Lanyun Sea Country’s border, an unknown distance from the capital, Blue Sky City. Yet, pursuers had still appeared before them. How had they managed such a feat? "It's not surprising!" Fang Yu’s voice boomed, resonating through the Brain Domain Sharing Channel as he addressed the crew: "Brothers, we are currently facing a Sea Country-level power." "They possess numerous experts and boundless secret treasures. If they were to simply let us pass now, that would truly be surprising." The crew subconsciously nodded in agreement with Fang Yu’s assessment. Truly. This was their first encounter with a Sea Country-level entity. Given the foundational strength and resources of a Sea Country, it was entirely plausible for them to appear anywhere within the strait at any given moment! As the approaching armada grew clearer and more defined, the crew members on the Salted Fish wore expressions of grave concern. The peril was far from over! Yet, strangely, a fierce flame of fighting spirit ignited within their hearts! Throughout their ordeal, they had been confined, framed, and misunderstood. Then, they were almost sacrificed as scapegoats to appease public anger. Ultimately, Zhao Chenlin had laid down his life to extricate them from a desperate situation. These experiences had bottled up a potent force within them! A force yearning to be unleashed! "I want to fight! I’m not afraid to fight!" one crew member whispered. Hearing this, many others straightened their postures, their eyes fixed on the blocking armada, determination blazing within them. Fight! For themselves! For Zhao Chenlin, who had ignited his life to save them. No retreat, no yielding, or Zhao Chenlin’s sacrifice would have been in vain. "Huh?" Sensing the surge of morale among the crew, Fang Yu’s expression changed, and he glanced back at them. Strangely, he detected a faint trace of the Law Enforcer's aura emanating from his crew members. This aura was unlike Zhao Chenlin’s inherent desire to protect and shield people.It was a manifestation of unity, a shared belief. As this sentiment grew, Fang Yu sensed an unusual power stirring within the ship.
