However, Chen Xuanfeng's face showed no joy, only a heavy expression. His gaze turned toward the outside as he responded, "The Goblin Warship, capable of opposing deities, naturally wouldn’t fear ordinary magical beasts. But I can’t shake this bad feeling that’s lingering around. Even though the dragon beast is gone, that feeling remains and is getting stronger... Li Jia, is there anything unusual nearby?"

The artificial human girl shook her head, "There are no abnormal reactions in the vicinity."

Chen Xuanfeng frowned in deep thought for a moment but still couldn’t figure it out. He said, "Maybe I’m just being paranoid, but better safe than sorry. Li Jia, turn on all the ship’s energy shields, don’t worry about energy consumption, and switch all emergency systems to auto-mode to avoid any issues."

Chen Xuanfeng had died in his previous life due to a moment of carelessness, and after rebirth, he had also faced near-death experiences due to negligence. Thus, he gradually developed a habit of always being prepared, and this time, that habit proved to be very timely.

Just as Li Jia finished adjusting the systems, a sudden change occurred.

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle—"

Instantly, the seawater outside the ship’s portholes began to boil out of thin air, filled with rolling bubbles. This was just the prelude. Moments later, a red flash appeared, and everything became invisible. Simultaneously, all alarms on the Goblin Warship blared "woo woo," with countless warning lights flashing chaotically under the red light penetrating from outside.

"This is... damn it, it’s those brats!" Although caught off guard by the sudden change, Chen Xuanfeng immediately identified the attackers from the intense red heat penetrating from outside. Although he couldn’t figure out why the enemy’s attack was several times stronger than before, he had no time to delve deeper. The Goblin Warship’s outer defense shields were already on the verge of collapse under the scorching red light that seemed to boil the sea. He had to act immediately, with black mist surging from his left hand and white light radiating from his right, shouting, "Hmph, activate 'Saint Ice Thorn Aura'! 'Nine-Headed Dragon God,' come forth—"

Complex runic halos quickly spread from under his feet, rapidly enveloping the entire warship. At the same time, nine black dragon head and neck phantoms extended from the ship’s body, forming a massive black cocoon that wrapped around the warship, complementing the Goblin Warship’s energy defense shields to withstand the vast and mighty flame attack.

By now, the boiling in the seawater was no longer just a "gurgle gurgle" sound but a thunderous explosion. The red light attack, originally of the fire element, should have been suppressed in the seawater. However, the attacker used some secret method to concentrate all the heat within a few hundred meters around the "Ancient God," not leaking a bit outside. Thus, a large amount of seawater instantly vaporized in a narrow area, immediately triggering a violent explosion.

If viewed from a distance, one would see a white, scorching steam column shooting into the sky like a volcanic eruption from the area where the "Ancient God" was located. The force was so strong it even pierced the clouds. This process lasted for a full fifteen minutes. When the white mist dispersed, an even stranger sight appeared on the sea.

On the vast, azure sea surface, a square, well-like hole appeared, a hundred meters long and wide, extending straight down to the seabed hundreds of meters below. The edges of the hole had no barriers to block the seawater, yet the vertical water flow seemed to be held back by an invisible well, not a single drop falling into the central void.

The "Ancient God" Goblin Warship, originally beneath this sea surface, did not fall to the seabed due to the loss of buoyancy. Supported by Goblin alchemical power, this several dozen meters long vessel floated quietly in mid-air, slowly rising until it surfaced above the sea.

On the sea surface, the one behind this strange attack did not strike again, just watching quietly as the ship rose.

As the warship rose, Chen Xuanfeng’s white figure also stood on the ship’s bow, coldly staring at the three figures on the water: a red-haired mercenary youth standing on a red firebird, a desert-mixed prince sitting on a flying carpet with twin crescent moon scimitars on his back, and a beautiful black-haired Eastern girl.

The "Knight of the Flame Phoenix" Morova, master of flames.

The "Knight of the Desert Moon" Carol, master of the desert.

The "Knight of the Heavenly Maiden" Tan Yueer, master of water clouds.

Among the five strongest human Saint Realm warriors, three had arrived at once.

Tan Yueer stood quietly on the sea surface, her gaze slightly raised, staring at the floating green metal warship in the air.

The seawater within ten meters around her feet was as smooth as a mirror, this smooth water wall extending from her position to the edges of the massive sea hole. Clearly, the power maintaining this miracle of cutting the ocean was hers, or rather, the unique lunar attribute of her water-based combat technique "Cloud Water Heart Moon Art," the ability to manipulate and solidify water and water vapor, known as "Water Cloud Mirror."

"Cloud Water Heart Moon Art" is a unique combat technique of the "Moonlight Tower," ranked among the top eight human martial arts, originally created by the "Ancestor of Sword Saints" Leinster for his wife, a female-specific technique. Once mastered, this water-based combat technique not only allows the combat energy to transform like clouds and water, gathering and dispersing at will, with myriad changes, but its lunar attribute "Water Cloud Mirror" can also simulate the moon’s gravitational pull with the mind, manipulating clouds and water flow. When this combat technique reaches the Sword Saint level, this manipulation is strengthened to the point of being effortless.

Tan Yueer had just used this divine ability to completely solidify and restrain a hundred meters long, a thousand meters deep section of seawater, helping the "Knight of the Flame Phoenix" Morova amplify the power of that flame attack several times over.

Unfortunately, even with such a trick, they still couldn’t destroy the enemy’s warship as desired, and the subsequent attack by the third young Sword Saint, the "Knight of the Desert Moon" Carol, naturally couldn’t proceed.
