Although none of them in the room could figure out what Chen Xiaobei was going to do, they were all in full cooperation since Chen Xiaobei was the one who devised a plan.

The holy emperor had personally prepared the map of the ocean floor, a blueprint of the altar, the sealing formation, and a total of 100 million Spiritual Stones for Chen Xiaobei.

Subsequently, all the Wangyes of the merpeople and all the adult princes put on their armor and stocked up their weapons, before leading 100,000 elite merpeople soldiers to march out of the imperial city!

Never before had there been such a huge formation in Neptune for the past 10,000 years.

Every core member of the imperial family, with the addition of elite troops of burly soldiers amounting up to 10,000 strong were involved in the campaign.

The Neptune townspeople who were uninformed of the truth thought that a huge war was about to unfold!

It would never occur to them that this flamboyant line-up, this huge setup, was a convoy for a twenty-plus youngling, one whose cultivation was only moderately high!

What was more surprising, was that it would never have crossed their minds that the survival of the entire Neptune Starfield was entrusted under the care of this very young man.

If this young mans plan failed, an irreversible apocalyptic doomsday would fall upon Neptune.

If this young man succeeded, however, Neptunes crisis would be successfully overturned. Then, the great reputation of Childe Chen would be known throughout every corner of Neptune Starfield. Hundreds of millions of people would call him their savior, revere him, worship him, and enshrine his feat for all eternity!

Neptunes capital city was very big. It was roughly thousands of times bigger than the Earths landmass!

While the troops traveled at the fastest speed they could across the ocean floor, it took them a good three days and three nights to reach their destination.

Childe Chen, the ocean currents here are very unpredictable, and the waters in front are filthy. If Im right, well be able to see the Demonic Beast about one thousand miles ahead! the holy emperor of Neptune said, his eyes squinting. His vision and his perception allowed him to make a somewhat precise deduction.

Chen Xiaobei nodded. I have seen the map. After I see the beast, its a one-day and one-night journey to the holy altar!

Thats right! The emperor nodded. The Demonic Beast can travel very quickly. It will be able to reach the imperial city within two days!

Mm, I understand! Chen Xiaobei said. Starting from now, until the successful completion of my plan should not exceed 48 hours!

Yes The holy emperor bobbed his head up and down heavily. We can only send you this far. You will have to complete the rest of the journey on your own!

Dont worry! One person is enough! Chen Xiaobei was calm and confident in his own plan.

Some words although not very pleasant to hear, they must be said The emperor said ceremonially. Childe Chen is heading towards fierce and tempestuous dangers! If you succeed, our people will thank you lavishly! But if you fail, no one will be able to collect your body and you wont receive a proper burial

Chen Xiaobei shrugged in response.

The emperor continued, But! If Childe Chen dies, all of the soldiers of Neptune will also fight to the death! Not one of us will live an ignominious existence! We will use our blood and our lives as a sacrificial offering for Childe Chen! In life and in death, the people of Neptune will remember the brave and honorable Childe Chen!

The emperor raised his hands, hand-in fist, and bowed to Chen Xiaobei.

All the Wangyes, the princes, and the massive wave of 100,000 soldiers followed their emperors lead and did the same.

Alright! You should all go back! You should see the holy ray light up within 48 hours! Chen Xiaobei said one final line and then continued forward, alone.

The troops remained where they were until they could no longer see Chen Xiaobei before turning back.

The troops too only had two days. They would probably be halfway through the journey then.

There, they would form the imperial citys last line of defense.

If Chen Xiaobeis plan fails, the entire troops would continue the struggle against the Demonic Beast, buying some time for the people in the city to retreat to other planets.

While Chen Xiaobei was brimming with confidence, many of them lacked any confidence at all. They even expected that they would surely die on the battlefield.

Chen Xiaobei pressed ahead at full speed. It did not take him long to travel the thousand miles.

Like the holy emperor had anticipated, Chen Xiaobei could see a monstrous silhouette lying on the ground a few hundred meters away, resting.

What a strange thing Chen Xiaobei muttered to himself.

He could not tell what species that creature belonged to. It had a carapace of a tortoise which was shaped like a rock, barbed legs like insects, a head like a giant python, and a giant tail like a scorpion!

The beast was neither fish nor fowl.

The weirdest thing about it was the thick black smog spraying from the cracks of its carapace like the fumes from burning shoddy briquettes.

That thick smog was at the peak of God-Ascension cultivation level toxin!

Cultivators at the peak of God-Ascension cultivation like the Neptune royal emperor could take on the damage of the toxin with their robust health. Unfortunately, for a cultivator at Earth-God cultivation, coming into contact with this toxin would only result in death.

The Demonic Beast had bulldozed its way here, covering a large portion of the starfield in its putrid poison.

It was for this reason that the people of Neptune were unable to get to the holy altar.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei was different!

With the protection of the Cleansing Bodhi, he was immune to the toxin and could pass through the black smog without taking any damage.

Chen Xiaobei continued to move forward. When he was about a few hundred meters away from the beast, there was a sudden movement!

Boom!

The resting beast raised its head, and a pair of giant blood-red eyes looked directly at Chen Xiaobei.

Crap! It saw me! Chen Xiaobei cried. It can sense me with its Primordial Spirit, I cannot hide from its extrasensory perception!

Primordial Spirits biggest usage was inducing the sixth sense that went beyond sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. It was also named the divine sense!

When the divine sense was in effect, the cultivator could sense the slightest movement from the whistles of the wind to the quavering of grass within the vicinity.

The divine sense could also be used to detect other peoples cultivation and to search for items with Spiritual Attributes within proximity!It had many wondrous uses!

Buzz

Suddenly, an Ethereal Force gathered inside the beasts eyes, and without the need fora gesture or movement, it shot right at Chen Xiaobei.

Before this God-Ascension cultivation Earth-God level Demonic Beast, Chen Xiaobei was just an insignificant little ant that could be squashed like a grape without so much as a flick of a finger.

But then, Chen Xiaobei had come prepared.

He smiled back at the best and said, You want to kill me? Its not going to be that easy!
