Chapter 1 The Long-Standing Grudge

The feud between Li Tianran and the Sea Demon had been brewing for a long time, ever since the birth of the Beast King race. Back then, the Sea Demon's understanding of the human world was still in its infancy, and it used massive beast tides to attack cities in an attempt to gather information about the human world.

Li Tianran's first act was to input a large amount of ultra-modern information into the Sea Demon's planarian worm, causing the Sea Demon's worldview to collapse. It was so frightened that it led its clan to cower under the seabed silt for a long time, missing the best time to attack the human world.

At that time, the human world had not yet built tall refuge city walls. Faced with the invasion of the beast tide, humans could only use the entire city as a battlefield, suffering heavy losses.

After being frightened by Li Tianran, the Sea Demon shrank back into the seabed silt. During that time, the human world consolidated a large number of people and troops, transforming cities originally used for economic construction into shelters suitable for war defense. Tall steel walls were erected, the population was evacuated in an orderly manner, and the army was deployed!

When the Sea Demon woke up again, it found that the price and difficulty it would have to pay to invade the human world was at least several times, even dozens of times, higher than before the shelters were built!

In this situation, how could the Sea Demon not hate Li Tianran to death?

So, even if many other countries later caused great damage to the beast tide, killing hundreds of millions of sea beasts, the Sea Demon's hatred for them could never compare to that for Li Tianran.

This was the first time Li Tianran and the Sea Demon became enemies.

The second time was when Li Tianran first arrived at Kuangxi Island. After seeing the "human chimes" on Kuangxi Island, he madly hunted down the Beast Kings around Kuangxi Island and created a "Beast King Drying Field" on the sea wall. Then, he used tricks to annihilate all the Overlords, Beast Kings, and mutated beasts in the waters near Kuangxi Island.

The third time was when Kuangxi Island fully appeared before the world. Li Tianran led the Pioneer Legion to slaughter the monsters in dozens of cities, and planted his own blood-colored banner on their corpses.

The Sea Demon's attacks on Li Tianran were also swift.

After discovering the exact location of Kuangxi Island, the Sea Demon sent out 300,000 sea beasts for the first time, trying to destroy Kuangxi Island, but they were all crushed by the Mecha Gladiators.

However, less than three days later, the Sea Demon's second attack came. More than six million beast tides attacked again, along with a large number of fleets from the beast nest cities!

If Li Tianran hadn't recently acquired a large amount of supplies and used a self-destructive method to stop these large beast tides, he might have really run away from Kuangxi Island with his farm tonight.

Indeed, he could use the "transfer" function of the Lv3 Sanctuary to shrink everything on Kuangxi Island into a sand table and take it away, but large warehouses and nuclear weapons laboratories were also built on the Kuangsha Islands, which were not included in the farm's range. If he wanted to leave, he would inevitably have to abandon these things.

So, although Li Tianran had been showing a very calm demeanor, his heart was actually a little虚 (xū, uncertain), he could not accept the consequences of defeat.

Combining the above encounters, although the Sea Demon and Li Tianran had never met, deep down, they had already regarded each other as mortal enemies that they absolutely had to kill!

Although this large beast tide had been blocked, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be a next time? Next time, how many beast tides would come to invade?

Sixty million?

Li Tianran found it hard to imagine what it would be like to face even more terrifying and unknown dangers as the Fourth Era of Destruction approached, while also being wary of a Sea Demon who hated him to the core and was ready to devour him at any time!

Besieged on all sides, attacked from both directions.

So, before that day came, Li Tianran had to do everything in his power to eliminate this danger in its cradle.

Rumble!

Twenty Mecha Gladiators appeared in front of Li Tianran, they were scarred and battered. The damage caused to them by the beast tide was secondary. The main thing was that in order to interfere with the beast tide's entry into the seabed, they had carried out interference and expulsion in the shallow sea layer. The huge temperature and pressure generated by the explosion of nuclear missiles on the sea surface caused them to withstand extreme pressure. In order to maximize the killing power of the nuclear weapons, ten of the Mecha Gladiators persisted for three seconds in an ultra-extreme state.

Within three seconds, there were multiple damages on their bodies. Mechanical arms, waist engines, chest energy shields, and heads all suffered severe dents and tears. Although mechanical insects were working hard to repair them, they still looked extremely miserable.

Looking at these twenty Mecha Gladiators, Li Tianran picked out the ten most severely damaged, and then, for the remaining ten relatively intact ones, he bought new energy cores in the store to replace them, so that their state returned to their peak.

"Aoo! Aoo! Aoo!"

In the distance, a giant Beast King was pierced in the body by heavy steel hooks and dragged ashore by two battleships.

The giant Beast King struggled non-stop, trying to break free from control and return to the sea, but after the Pioneers gave it a few fierce cuts, it became obedient.

Rumble!

Rumble!

The giant Beast King was dragged ashore, and a Mind Pioneer forcibly read its memory. Soon, the giant Beast King stopped trembling. Its neural center was destroyed by the Pioneer's brutal invasion of brainwaves. In the memories within its brain, everything about the Jiyuan (Abyssal Domain) and the Sea Demon was obtained!

The location of the Jiyuan and the Sea Demon was not a secret among the Beast King race. The other party didn't seem to want to deliberately hide it, because according to the technology currently possessed by humans, the Jiyuan, which is more than 10,000 meters below the deep sea, is itself a forbidden zone. Humans do not have any armed forces that can reach this location.

Even if some high-density alloy nuclear bombs could resist the pressure and reach the sky above the Jiyuan, the Sea Demon was always surrounded by Beast Kings. They were the most loyal guardians. They would use their lives to form a line of defense, so that even nuclear bombs would be blocked by them and unable to harm the Sea Demon!

Under these circumstances, the Jiyuan had become a temple for the Beast King race. The Sea Demon sat firmly on the Jiyuan throne, allowing its location to be exposed, and no matter how much the human race hated it, it could not pose the slightest threat to it.

"How arrogant!" Li Tianran sneered.

Although in several encounters, Li Tianran seemed to have taken all the advantages, the Sea Demon had never suffered any substantial harm. It just coldly and gracefully sat on the Jiyuan throne and gave orders, while Li Tianran had to deal with the surging beast tide in a disheveled manner.

It was like an emperor fighting a commoner. With a single word from the emperor, the army would surge forward, and the commoner would have to fight covered in blood. Even if the commoner finally killed the army in a mess, the emperor would not even ruffle a hair!

"This feeling is really infuriating." Li Tianran took a deep breath: "You think no one can pull you down from the throne? That's why you're so unscrupulous?"

"Today, I'll let you feel what is called the most direct pain from the depths of your soul!"
