Within the Bloodline Heavenly River, inside the teleportation tunnel leading to the Seven Realms Heavenly River.
A massive ship bearing the banner of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace was sailing at tremendous speed.
The people aboard were all Spirit World Masters from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace who had previously assisted the Prison Sect in setting up formations within the Immortal Star Domain.
Even Jie Tianran was among them.
According to Jie Tianran's original plan, he had wanted to further stabilize the formation within the Prison Sect's sacred artifact before departing.
But the changes in the Age of Gods had forced him to leave ahead of schedule.
After all, anyone could tell that the power the Age of Gods had directed into the Seven Realms Heavenly River was extraordinary — most likely a monumental opportunity.
As for Jie Tianran's departure, the Prison Sect could understand it.
He had come to help in the first place. One couldn't very well expect him to assist them while neglecting his own affairs, could they?
Besides, before Jie Tianran left, the sacred artifact had already been almost fully stabilized. At the very least, there appeared to be no issues.
Moreover, Jie Tianran had not only left behind a number of Spirit World Masters from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace — the formation he had set up also looked extremely reliable.
Originally, the Spirit World Masters of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace had believed that an extraordinary opportunity awaited them within the Seven Realms Heavenly River.
They had been extremely excited and thrilled, believing their cultivation would advance even further.
After all, under the leadership of their Palace Master, their cultivation had already reached heights they had never dared to imagine before.
Though they had paid a considerable price for it — shortened lifespans.
But they believed their Palace Master had a solution for that as well.
Their future prospects were limitless.
Yet at this moment, they were staring at a tray with grave expressions.
Jie Tianran included.
On the tray sat six beads.
One of them had already shattered.
These were the life beads of the six Dragon Level Spirit World Masters who had been sent to investigate the Immortal Sea Heavenly River.
"Wasn't Xiahou Jue traveling with them?"
"How could this have happened?"
"Could it be that there's treasure in the ancestral land of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, and Xiahou Jue tried to take it all for himself and turned on our people?"
The Spirit World Masters began speculating among themselves.
Their first reaction was not that the group had encountered a powerful enemy, but rather that Xiahou Jue had attacked them.
In their hearts, they looked down on the Immortal Sea Fish Clan completely.
Even though the anomaly in the Immortal Sea Heavenly River had most likely been caused by the Immortal Sea Fish Clan, they still didn't believe the clan could kill a Third Level Dragon Level Spirit World Master.
As for Jie Tianran, he remained silent.
…
Meanwhile, at the ancestral land of the Immortal Sea Fish Clan.
Xiao Yu'er was collecting the Dragon Level Spirit World Master she had just slain into a special sphere.
Everyone present was staring at Xiao Yu'er.
Her appearance had undergone a dramatic transformation.
A layer of blue aura resembling ocean waves coiled around her body.
Her eyes had turned a deep ocean blue — no less beautiful, but now carrying an additional air of mystery and majesty.
Behind her, a pair of wings had even appeared.
But they were no ordinary wings. They resembled fish fins, yet their shape was exquisitely beautiful, as though they had been crafted specifically for Xiao Yu'er — a perfect match.
And under the blessing of this transformation, Xiao Yu'er's cultivation was no longer at the First Level God realm.
It had reached the Fourth Level God realm.
"Advancing three levels within the God realm?"
Looking at Xiao Yu'er as she was now.
The Madwoman and the President of the Warriors Trading Company were both deeply astonished.
The Dragon Level Spirit World Masters from the Seven Realms Sacred Palace, as well as Xiahou Jue, were equally stunned.
Even advancing a single level within this realm was exceedingly rare.
Yet Xiao Yu'er had managed to advance three levels.
The gulf in talent was so vast.
It felt like a dream.
Swish— However, just at that moment, Xiao Yu'er swept her sleeve, and the blue aura surged toward the remaining Dragon Level Spirit World Masters of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace.
Boom— But following a piercing boom, the blue aura dissipated like steam.
It was Xiahou Jue, who had appeared not far from Xiao Yu'er, blocking her killing blow.
"It seems the anomaly was definitely caused by you."
"The Immortal Sea Fish Clan has actually produced a monster like you."
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it."
As Xiahou Jue carefully studied Xiao Yu'er, the pressure of a Fourth Level God realm cultivator ravaged the surrounding area.
As if to tell Xiao Yu'er— The fish may be strong, but he was no weaker.
Swish— However, Xiao Yu'er thrust out her palm, and a martial power hand instantly materialized, shooting straight toward Xiahou Jue.
Its speed was so great that Xiahou Jue had no time to dodge.
Boom!
With a tremendous shockwave, Xiahou Jue was sent flying backward.
At the same time, Xiao Yu'er casually waved her hand, and the blue aura transformed into a scythe that swept across the void.
The remaining five Dragon Level Spirit World Masters of the Seven Realms Sacred Palace were all slain by Xiao Yu'er.
