The Sea King was utterly flabbergasted as he was sent flying again.
As far as he could remember, Tao Wu’s power was second to none in the Void Ocean, but it was now being punched by someone else.
Who is that red figure? The power he possesses is frightening! The Sea King exclaimed to himself.
Nevertheless, that was no longer important. Staying alive was now the most vital goal.
He wanted no part in this scary battle. He might be squashed to death if he participated in it.
Turning around, he jumped into the water and quickly dove deep toward the seabed of the Abyss.
He decided to set aside his plan of invading Beiqi for the time being. After all, he had the Death Abyss, which was an inexhaustible source of creatures, as a countermeasure. Thus, his Army of Death would take shape again very soon.
To the Sea King, it was just a matter of time when Beiqi would be his. As for Beiqi’s forces, he would exterminate them in the most brutal way possible.
As he thought of this, a cruel smile appeared on his face.
He looked forward to that day…
…
To the players, the Sea King’s disappearance put a damper on the battle between the Demonic God and Tao Wu.
The players were disappointed that the Sea King didn’t come out for a good beating. It was outrageous! Did he even have respect for them?
Anyway, the speculation carried on.
The battle between Tao Wu and the Demonic God lasted for another two hours before it ended.
During the final phase of the battle, Tao Wu seemed like it had succumbed to the Demonic God. While enduring blows, it managed to catch a spiritual fish similar to the one that the Demonic God had fished, and only then the latter stopped punching. He took the red spiritual fish and swept away with glee.
Meanwhile, Tao Wu floated on the water and let out sounds as though it was crying.
After it stopped its depressing cries, the humongous Tao Wu dove once more into the sea.
The players were exuberant as they witnessed this epic battle. Even though the battle was over, the discussion was not.
They still sat under the moonlight feasting and drinking while chatting away. It was a lively scene.
Lu Wu was observing them from behind the scenes and was at a loss for words.
Didn’t you guys promise to work hard, level up, and earn soul coins to take care of me?
You guys have changed. You’re no longer as diligent as you were before.
Alas, the melancholy!
Although the Death Clan’s control over the sea was relinquished, they still had an endless army at the seabed of the Abyss. Thus, Lu Wu believed that the battle was not over.
However, the players did not level up with enthusiasm after their gathering at night had ended. In fact, they had their focus entirely directed toward this battle.
Posts analyzing the battle were everywhere.
There were even talented players who drew a humorous comic about the Demonic God and Tao Wu’s battle, which even earned them a good amount of soul coins.
Lu Wu could not stand seeing the players this carefree.
As the creator, he decided to unleash the ultimate move that he had long prepared for.
The information for counter attacking the Death Clan was released.
[Game Update: Death and Calamity]:
The invasion of Beiqi had the King of the Mu Te Sea Nation, Mu Zhiguang, battling to his death in the war. The Sea King barely made it out alive, but he has not given up his evil plan of colonizing Beiqi. He was willing to embrace death and therefore became the Ruler of Death, releasing the Death Clan buried deep in the Abyss.
Endless kinds of Creatures of Death will be unleashing their terror on the Void Ocean. This sea next to our land awaits our conquest. History shall propel and the battle shall begin once more!
[Update Details]:
Update #1: Complete Launch of the Prestige System.

Update #2: The Launching of the Guild Station System.
Details: After this update, guild stations at the Liuli Coast and the borders of the Mansion of the Dead shall be available for auction.
Station Details: The space within the guild station and the world is separated. There will be a portal placed outside, while the inside will be used for the development of the guild.
Specific Features:
Assembly Hall (Core): The core building of the guild station. Decides the maximum level of a guild. After upgrading, it expands the area of the station’s land and improves the features of various buildings. Contribution points are required to upgrade.
(Contribution points are earned when members of a guild donate spiritual material, spiritual ore, or any other valuable materials to the station keeper!)
Tavern (Entertainment): Entertainment for members of the guild, alcoholic beverages provided within, purchasable with soul coins. Free drinks available every Sunday. When the size of the tavern increases as the guild levels up, more entertainment facilities will be installed.
Guild Warehouse: Guild members can store their personal items here (the initial storage space is twice the size of a personal storage space).
Residential Area: This area provides the accommodation for the guild’s NPC (initial accommodation space of five people).
Training Area (Important): Guild members can use their contribution points to exchange specialized cultivational skills:
Specialized Attack Skill (1%): Increases damage by 1% (attack and spells combined)
Specialized Defense Skill (1%): Increases defense by 1% (endurance and vitality combined)
Specialized Speed Skill (1%): Increases attack speed and movement speed by 1%
Lessons for Special Fighting Specialization.
Lessons for Special Mechanical Specialization.
…
Note: The higher the percentage of the specialized level, the more the amount of contribution points required.
Astronomical Pavillion: Guild members can spend 300 contribution points for a random ten hour blessing (limited to once a day). After leveling up, it increases buffer types and chances of getting rare buffers.
Additional features in the guild’s later phase: Processing Workshop, Equipment Workshop, Playground, Farm, Spiritual Field, Hall of Fame, Guild Shop, etc.
150 stations are available at the moment, where the winner of the Hundred Fortress Hegemony City of Beiqi will be awarded a free station. The remaining 149 stations will be put up for auction and the Tournament’s City Mayor will have the priority for auctioning.
Update #3: New Shopping Items.

Death Coffin (Level 1): Can be activated offline. The player’s character will be in an idle state and can earn little amounts of experience.

The points can be used to level up, and with each level up the amount of experience will also increase slightly.
Price: 1,000 soul coins
…
The game update made everyone go nuts.
Not only had the long-awaited flying equipment launched, but also an offline, idle state equipment that aided in leveling up. As for the major guilds, the most attractive part was the multifunction guild stations.
Wu Guoyi, Ye Xue’er, Gu Yu, and some of the other guild leaders were ineligible for the purchasing privileges because of the City of Beiqi tournament. Their regret could not be put into words.
They did not expect guild stations to have so many functions.
Not only could they learn specialized skills, but there was also an astronomical pavilion that provided a ten hour buffer. These were all great for the development of a guild, and other facilities made them even more envious.
Due to this, the official forum of Battle Online became lively. Everybody was discussing the new information.
Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers: “The guild stations are awesome, but it seems like I don’t need to participate in the auction. Sigh~ I feel like competing with you guys! That’s so sad!”
Strike_Gold replied to Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers: “(bleeding knife emoji)”
Ye_Xueer_Is_The_Cutest replied to Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers: “(bleeding knife emoji)”
Invincible_Loneliness replied to Commander_Of_Demolition_Officers: “(bleeding knife emoji)”
Watermelon_Taro: “My hands are shaking. This means the fight between Tao Wu and the Demonic God yesterday wasted us a good amount of death points. Now I feel like strangling them!”
Crayon_Shinchan replied to Watermelon_Taro: “You didn’t say so when you were spectating and applauding yesterday (laughing emoji)!”
A_Large_Wolfdog: “No one dared to go to the Void Ocean back then, but now I think the Death Clan is at the brink of extinction. Please take care of the new inhabitants and refrain from endangering them (laughing emoji)!”
Xueli_The_Strongest: “How careless of the Death Clan to offend the game developers! The latest update is the proof that they want them extinct. That’s so evil, but I like it (laughing emoji)!”
Junior_Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “My hands are shaking, too. Now that I think of it, yesterday’s epic battle was a complete waste! I’ve lost at least a few hundred million death points! What a pain! If I had all those death points, I could have grown a world tree! I could have afforded a pair of wings that could take me around the world and also a supreme coffin that could level me up whenever I lie in it (exasperated emoji)!”
Crayon_Shinchan replied to Junior_Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers: “Why don’t you ask the boss of Battle Online to give you his address and force him to give you an official god-transformation cheat code (laughing emoji)?”
Peppa_Boar: “I strongly condemn the wasteful acts of Tao Wu and the Demonic God. Please make up for the players’ loss (laughing emoji)!”
Lost8kToOnlineDating: “Yesterday you enjoyed the show, but today you regret it. This is definitely referring to you guys! Don’t fret though, let us cheer for our good old enmity the Sea King to produce more Creatures of Death. Please seek revenge as soon as possible, because the evil forces of the players can’t wait anymore. They’re bursting (laughing emoji)!”
A_Mammoth: “Good luck Sea King +1”
Assassin_Creed: “Good luck Sea King +2”
Grateful_Person_Who_Drinks: “Good luck Sea King +3”
…
Everybody realized that they started to like their old enmity, the Sea King. He was so generous to give them such a huge gift.
The Void Ocean once again became a favorite destination for the players.
Before that, it had creatures swarming around it and it was hard to survive there. Moreover, going out to sea had little harvests. It was all different now, though. To the players, the Death Clan was a treasure and they absolutely loved them.
Under the temptation of great rewards, the players were preparing to head out to sea. The Sea King probably hadn’t planned for that.
One hour after the update, loads of guild ships departed for the Void Ocean.
However, almost all of the Death Clan were slaughtered by Tao Wu and the Demonic God. The newly appeared Creatures of Death were simply not enough to share amongst the players.
There were some guilds who even fought over the allocation of the Creatures of Death during extermination operations.
Everybody was upset. Many of them strongly requested in the forum to improve the Sea King’s skills and the reproductivity of the Death Clan. How could they be so weak?
The players’ requests amused Lu Wu.
For now, he wanted to expand the area of Beiqi’s land and the Void Ocean was a major problem. Initially, he wanted to wipe out the Death Clan before expanding. But now, not only was this problem solved, even the players were not happy about the power of their opponent.
He could not fulfill the player’s requests, however. It all depended on the Sea King himself.
Anyhow, the passion of the players was exactly what he needed. As he saw the soul coins grow exponentially, even Lu Wu wanted to cheer for the Sea King.
“Good luck, Sea King!”
The Sea King was utterly flabbergasted as he was sent flying again.
As far as he could remember, Tao Wu’s power was second to none in the Void Ocean, but it was now being punched by someone else.
