Soon, everyone got a hold of the plan. Of course, they mainly relied on Li Nianfan, everyone else only needed to nod and be astounded.

The first step of the plan was for Ao Cheng to instigate the Black Eel Lair of the Western Sea with 100 sea soldiers.

The insolent lines were taught by Xiao Chengfeng. He did a great job of making the enemies hate them.

An angry roar and maniacal laughter could immediately be heard from the Western Sea. The Eel Demon with a Steel Trident in hand rushed out. He looked like he was ready to kill someone as he sprinted toward Ao Cheng.

The person was in human form but he was covered with black snakeskin. He also had a long tail behind him. It was hairless like a snake's tail.

A bunch of Sea Demons followed him and fought the army that came with Ao Cheng.

Ao Cheng had the Purple Golden Hammer in hand. Electric current flashed every time he waved it around. The electric current followed the water's current and destroyed the Sea Demons in groups.

However, the Eel Demon with the trident was unaffected. He seemed to be immune to electric attacks. He fought back and forth with Ao Cheng.

Ao Cheng was able to kill a lot of Sea Demons with the power of the Purple Golden Hammer. It finally pissed the Eel Demon off. He called for backup.

Ao Cheng acted like he was defeated. He yelled, "The enemy's too powerful. Retreat! I'll be back."

Then, he retreated with his army.

The Eel Demon chased after him with more confidence.

"Dragon, where will you run?!

"I let a Dragon escape the last time and it was a shame. This time, I won't let you escape. We'll taste your Dragon meat, haha!

"You came here for vengeance? You shouldn't even have come here in the first place. You won't escape!"

…

"Soldiers of the second round. Follow me, attack!"

The Eel Demon was too pleased with himself. A bunch of soldiers suddenly ran out from the side. Lord Taoist Taihua was leading them. He seemed to be very excited as he charged toward the Eel Demon while holding the Sun Sword.

Lord Taoist Taihua was surrounded by golden sun flares. He looked like a person on fire. He was blinding. The Eel Demon was more of an idiot. He did not expect there would be an ambush at all. He was stumped at the moment.

However, he was not going to just sit there and do nothing. He saw that Lord Taoist Taihua was going to attack him with the sword. He hurriedly raised his Steel Trident and fought him!

Clang!

As expected, the Steel Trident broke.

The Sun Sword was an Intermediate Heavenly Spiritual Treasure. It was also improved with Deluxe Merit. It was very powerful. A small Steel Trident was not able to stop it.

The Eel Demon was so shocked that he became a reaction meme. He backed off horridly.

"I'm a Daluo Golden Immortal with a Deluxe Merit Treasure. How dare you ambush me? That's so inhumane!"

The Eel Demon had a mental breakdown. His hair stood on end as he ran and screamed, "Save me, my King!"

"Demon, I'll kill you!"

The Jade Emperor… No, wait, Lord Taoist Taihua, was having fun. He did not allow the Eel Demon to escape. He stepped out and moved wonderfully to keep the Eel Demon by his side. The sun flares surrounded him like a fire dragon, circling the Sun Sword as he attacked!

Fume!

The Eel Demon was killed. Fire rose and instantly burned him into nothing.

The Jade Emperor felt good with the Sun Sword in his hand. He said goodbye to the boring days of being sealed. His life finally started to become interesting again.

He shouted with excitement, "You daring Demons, I'll defeat you all today!"

Li Nianfan and Dragin stood on the other side of the sea to watch the show. They were inside a huge water ball shield cast by Dragin. It did not affect their viewing pleasure and it was a great defense.

Compared to the steady Dragin, Nanan could not wait to get her battle on. She joined the soldiers and attacked.

The sudden appearance of Lord Taoist Taihua was not only unexpected to the Eel Demon, but it was also unexpected to Li Nianfan.

'What's going on? Isn't this fella supposed to be in the third round? He couldn't wait and changed the plan?

'He was supposed to be the termination soldier, why did he reveal himself?'

However, it surprisingly worked well. He instantly killed a powerful Eel Demon. That was a pleasant surprise.

"How dare you?! Do you really underestimate the Black Eels?"

Just when Lord Taoist Taihua was going in for the kill, an angry roar could be heard from the bottom of the sea. Then, a black dagger suddenly shot out from the water's surface. It flew toward Lord Taoist Taihua.

Something came out from the sea but the situation was calm like nothing happened. The black dagger was extremely fast and silent. It was as if it merged with its surroundings, hard to detect but…extremely powerful!

Lord Taoist Taihua calmly cast a spell. The Sun Sword flew out along with the sun flares. It clashed with the black dagger.

A three-foot-long sword and a short black dagger fought mid-air like they were alive.

Every clash they made caused explosions in the sea. Seawater kept splashing, and the people nearby kept being blown away. The two Spiritual Treasures fought in the air. They started to leave the battlefield.

Then, a huge black eel came out from the sea along with a loud noise. The giant eel head straightened up and glared at everyone. Then, it opened its mouth and spat out black water that drowned everyone.

Lord Taoist Taihua cast another spell. Sun flares were dancing on his palms. Then, he raised his hands and formed a sea of fire. It clashed with the endless black water.

Sizzle—

The black water clashing with the sun flares formed a distinct contrast. The battlefield was transformed into something new. Suddenly, the scene became visually impactful. No words were needed to describe how powerful it was.

"Scary, terrifying!"

Li Nianfan looked at it without blinking. As an outsider, a lot was going on on the battlefield. Endless black water and sun flares covered the area, various Sea Demons fought with the soldiers and the seafood soldiers, and spells were constantly being cast.

It was too majestic. A large area was affected. He could only say that Immortals were unimaginably powerful.

"Dragin, let's back up more."

The duration of the battle was not long. However, there were countless dead bodies on the surface of the sea. There were also a lot of…golden beans.

It was very awkward. 'All those soldiers were made from beans?'

"You evil eel that conquered the Western Sea, I'm the Northern Heavenly Lord. Today, I shall defeat you. What are you waiting for? Why don't you come here and surrender?"

Xiao Chengfeng and Ye Liuyun advanced with the third group of soldiers. They caused commotions and attacked from both sides.

The giant eel circled Lord Taoist Taihua and laughed coldly. "This is the army of the Heavenly Palace? It's not nearly enough!"

A huge amount of figures came out as the eel said that. However, the figures were not Sea Demons, but instead, they were all sorts of Demons from the land. For some reason, they were hiding in the Western Sea and working with the evil eel.

Lord Taoist Taihua did not look happy at all. He did not expect them to have an ambush, too. He realized that battle strategies were indeed important.

However…something was clearly off.

"For the glory of the Demons, minions, follow me and kill them!" roared a Tiger King with a golden tiger head. He sprinted towards Xiao Chengfeng.

At that moment, the Demons were powerful. The battle instantly became intense. Spells and weapons were flying around everywhere as lights flashed in the sky.

Meanwhile.

At the Above Immortal Realm.

A black Pekingese dog leisurely strolled around while scrunching its nose. The confused little black eyes were concealed underneath its hair.

'What's going on? Why do I smell so many Dog Demons around here?

'Perhaps it's because I haven't been out for many years? Did the dogs of the world gather together as a family?'

The Pekingese dog was confused and curious. It started to walk toward the source of the smell.

Soon, it arrived at the bottom of a mountain.

The place was full of dog figures of various kinds. Some were in full dog form, some were half-dog half-human. A few of them were in full human form. The Pekingese sensed that some of them were at the peak of being True Immortals.

There was a table at the bottom of the mountain. A yellow Dog Demon sat at the table with papers and brushes. He was recording the check-ins of the Dog Demons.

"Awesome. The Dog Demons really gathered here."

The Pekingese dog looked pleased. It thought to itself, 'If that's the case, I shall be their leader. The Dog Demons will be powerful under the leadership of me and my Master. We can finally be as powerful as the Phoenixes. The Dogs…will rise!'

It stepped forward and slowly walked over.

"A new face. You must be new here, right?" The yellow Dog Demon inspected the Pekingese dog and asked, "Name and cultivation?"

The Pekingese dog replied, "Deified Dog."

The yellow Dog Demon looked at the Deified Dog and pouted, "This name's taken. Please, use another."

Deified Dog was puzzled. "Taken? There's another dog called Deified Dog?"

"A lot. You're the fifty-sixth Deified Dog. You can be called Deified Dog fifty-seven."

The yellow Dog Demon was very familiar with how things worked. It suggested, "You must've taken the name from the stories, right? There's no need to do that. Like, our Lord Dog's name is Blackie. It's ordinary but it's a hundred times better than the Deified Dog. Blackie's like a Dragon or a Phoenix amongst us Dogs."

"Lord Dog? A hundred times better than the Deified Dog?"

The Deified Dog did not look happy. A hint of danger emitted from its aura as it glared and shouted, "What a bunch of nonsense! Bring me to meet this so-called Lord Dog!"

The Dog Demons could sense the dangerous aura of the Deified Dog. They jumped and looked fearful. The yellow Dog Demon also went silent. It quietly brought the Deified Dog toward the mountain.

Blackie was laying on a giant rock on top of the mountain. It grinned with its eyes closed.

A female dog servant fanned Blackie on the side. On the other side, a servant fed Blackie Spiritual Fruits. Another Dog Demon laid at the side to massage Blackie's legs.

'Sigh. Since the Master doesn't want me anymore, I can only numb myself by living sinfully.

'I'm actually not happy at all. My happiest days were when I was an ordinary dog, being next to the Master.'

Suddenly, the Deified Dog slowly walked over from the bottom of the mountain. It looked at Blackie with rage and contempt.

'Luxurious, rotten, and sinful!

'The debauchery of Dogs!

'This is the Lord Dog that would lead the Dog Demons? I shall be the one to replace him!'

It energetically asked, "Are you the Lord Dog of this place?"

Blackie yawned. It opened its sleepy eyes and glanced at Deified Dog. Then, it shut its eyes without caring. "New dog? You could probably be my massager. You should guard the door over there first."

Deified Dog frowned. His tail straightened up from rage. It gritted its teeth and said arrogantly, "Lord Dog, the capable shall replace the weak. Since I'm here, you should back down and retire."
