Could it really be over just like this?

Wrapped in an endless array of fleshy tendrils and enveloped once again by that sticky substance, Fei Fu Ma truly despaired!

Red Lotus Karma Fire was his last trump card, given to him by that woman in the Imperial Palace.

The original plan was to use it to burn down the Dragon Palace and the entire aquatic race, creating a massive amount of Ghost Domain and thereby allowing His Majesty and the power behind him to gain the latest and greatest amount of resentful energy!

Thus completely ushering in the era of the Ghost Domain...

He did not follow the original plan because he fundamentally didn’t want to be subordinate to anyone!

Therefore, he stored away the Red Lotus Karma Fire. Not using this trump card at the best spot in the sky at the first opportunity, once he saw that the monster feared his flames, he thought everything was under control.

Dominate the West Sea Princess, seize the entire military force of the West Sea, then take the opportunity to strike at the other three sea powers, taking the entire Dragon Palace into his hands. After that... he would become a god, the true god who commands the Human Race.

The Siao Family, the King of Qin—none would be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him. He... would be the king of the Human Race, the king who shelters the Human Race!!

Sizzle...

The immense suction and the power of the tentacles dragged him step by step towards the abyssal maw. In this moment... he was completely panicked...

"No... No!!!"

He had lain in wait for twenty years, living in constant anxiety under the threat of that evil god, having lost all dignity under the hands of that detestable woman, Siao Mingyue, yet he had survived all that. This shouldn’t be his end, it shouldn’t!!

It shouldn’t be... It shouldn’t be...

The abyssal maw, with its dense teeth, showed no intention of chewing him. Clearly, the Heavenly Ghost Octopus knew it couldn’t bite through this thing; it would require at least four layers of its stomach acid to corrode before it might have a chance to swallow this body.

But it wasn’t in a hurry. Countless years of hunger had endowed it with ample patience.

It could sense the creature’s unwillingness, but what of it?

The monsters that were just as unwilling as you, that were sealed in the sea for so long, the cold sea water, the countless torturous experiments, and finally having a chance to see the light of day again, weren’t they all eaten by it in one bite?

Unwillingness?

Does the world change because of unwillingness?

It never does...

"Regret it?"

Unexpectedly, in the darkness, the massive body of the Heavenly Ghost Octopus trembled.

The voice was very faint, but because it was within its own body, it could still hear it clearly.

Was there something else swallowed into its belly?

Fei Fu Ma’s eyes snapped open, for he heard a familiar voice—that was the voice of that woman from the court!!

In an instant, as if he had found a lifesaving straw, his eyes burst open, the fearsome stomach acid prevented him from opening his mouth, afraid that if the acid entered his body through his mouth and nose, he would corrode even faster.

"Save me..."

With his last Elemental Power, he emitted a thunderous voice.

"If you had used the Red Lotus Karma Fire in the sky, with the size of this creature, it couldn’t have possibly evaded it. Even its splitting would be futile; you would only need to target its vital parts. But you didn’t... you went against the original plan."

"I... I was wrong!" Fei Fu Ma instantly yielded: "I was wrong, truly wrong, Supreme One, give me one more chance!"

This time he was genuinely terrified. Compared to becoming a part of the digested slop, even being a lapdog was better, just as long as she would give him one more chance. He swore he’d never be so bold again!

"Where is the core of the Red Lotus Karma Fire?"

"In my heart, I’ve always protected it."

"Good... open your chest scales!"

"Supreme One, where are you?"

"I’ll say it one last time, open your chest scales!!"

The voice was ice-cold and brooked no discussion, making it clear that if Fei Fu Ma asked again, the consequences would be severe!

Fei Fu Ma clenched his teeth and struggled, but ultimately he took a deep breath, his chest scales slowly opening like a blooming flower.

The terrifying acid around him surged into his flesh in an instant, the intense corrosion causing Fei Fu Ma to let out an involuntary, pained grunt....

"Please hurry, Your Excellency!"

"No rush...."

The voice carried a trace of jest, yet it was completely different from before, causing Fei Fu Ma’s face to turn deathly pale in an instant.

That voice... he would never forget it, it was definitely not the sound of that monster from the Imperial Palace, but....

Boom!!

Red flames exploded, and a strand as thin as a hair burst forth, causing Fei Fu Ma’s pupils to constrict. That red thing, had it been lurking inside him all this time, waiting for this moment?

And though the adversary was incredibly tiny, he could see clearly that this hair-like thing bore the countenance and smile of the one he hated the most.

"Siao Mingyue!!!"

"Oh, don’t be so excited... you’ll die even faster that way."

A small red worm that had swallowed the core rapidly burrowed out and stood face-to-face with Fei Fu Ma. This time, he saw it clearly.

Crystal clear like a red gemstone, its body shone with a dreamy luster, resembling an insect but also not like one, because no creature in this world possessed such beauty.

"What is this?"

"Don’t you recognize it?" The Princess Royale said with a coquettish laugh: "It is the body from my Dragon Transformation."

"Your Dragon Transformation... wasn’t it the Dragon King Breed from the Southern Sea?" Fei Fu Ma asked sharply.

At this moment, he cared no more for the acid that might seep into his body, as towering rage overshadowed everything else.

He vividly remembered that Siao Mingyue had chosen the Dragon Kraken provided by Chen Qing, the Nanhai Dragon Kraken, which also carried the Celestial Roc Bloodline, a perfect match for the Golden Crow Bloodline of the Siao Family. That woman had been very satisfied at the time.

In the critical moment of her successful Dragon Transformation, he had used the secret technique of the Ghost Domain to be reborn from her womb, seizing all that was hers!

This plan had started from the day they got married.

He carried the Ghost Domain seed and had infused his ghost essence into her during their union, and to prevent discovery, he had exerted himself to the fullest to infuse his own yang essence too.

When Siao Mingyue got pregnant and gave birth to their eldest son, Fei Jun, he was a yang child.

There was another yin child hidden in her womb, waiting for the right moment.

This trigger was crucial, so Fei Fu Ma had never worried about failing, for from the moment the seed was planted, Siao Mingyue was already under his control. What remained was to see when the outburst would occur to reap the greatest benefits.

The original plan was to act when she tried to refine a hundred thousand living corpses, to directly take over her military strength.

Later, when he learned of the opening of the Dragon Palace, he continued to bide his time.

That woman indeed did not disappoint him, actually succeeding in her Dragon Transformation, thus allowing him to possess the body he now had.

Everything was meticulously planned, and he remembered clearly the rage and panic on that despicable woman’s face before her death, remembered leisurely conversing with her, inquiring about her thoughts then.

It was the most exhilarating moment in twenty years.

But everything before his eyes was telling him that the exhilaration, was nothing but a ruse!

"What in the world is going on??"

"Hehehehe..." The Princess Royale laughed exuberantly: "Fei Yan, out of all my male consorts, you are the one I found most amusing, especially the way you hid your feelings these past twenty years. It was truly delightful to watch; I almost couldn’t resist ruining it.

Ah, you have no idea how hard it was for me to hold back. ..."

Fei Fu Ma: "...."

"What is... really going on?"

He truly despaired. The outcome before him was even more hopeless than the terrifying acid surrounding him, and for the first time, he felt that perhaps death wasn’t such a bad option. At least then, he could end the humiliation of the past twenty years....

"I knew about the ghost fetus you planted from the first day," Siao Mingyue said coldly, "but I couldn’t resist, and that’s not you I’m referring to, but rather the Ghost Domain forces that already had their claws in things behind the scenes, my troublesome little brother.

I could only watch and wait for the right moment, until the Ancient Worm found me and I used its Blood Refinement Method to free myself. "

"The Ancient Worm can cause one’s body to undergo a strange transformation; your ghost fetus was actually born ten years ago!"

"What did you say?" Fei Fu Ma looked at her in horror, a possibility he dared not entertain slowly surfacing in his mind....
