Ao Bing spurred the dragon into the depths of the ocean. When she turned her head back and saw that Nezha was already following on her wind-and-fire wheels, she inwardly sneered.
It honestly was too wasteful that this little girl had inherited the Divine Name. With just a few words, she had been tricked into entering the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array, unaware that karma tribulations were all intertwined with karma itself. Nezha wanted to sever her karma with conquering the sea, and the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace similarly wanted a resolution. If they killed Nezha, the Dragon Palace’s fortune would presumably be even more stable. As for Mother’s Dragon King Day, this would be Ao Bing’s gift to Mother.
As Ao Bing thought this to herself, she moved through the seas as swiftly as a fish back in water. Very quickly, the Dragon palace came into view.
The shrimp soldiers and crab generals had all fled into the water barrier, but the girl did not and turned around instead. She watched Nezha launch an attack. “Nezha, if you wish to destroy the Dragon Palace, you will have to break the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array first. If you can do so, Mother will not make things difficult for you. However, if you die in the array, do not blame my Dragon Palace for being merciless with your Elaborate Divine Name.” Nezha’s Divine Name was categorized as Elaborate and was known to be formidable in Primordial World. Although the Three Doctrines Divine Names were not of the same ilk, the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was, after all, one of the forces of the Middle Earth Divine Kingdom, so the Dragon Palace still had some reservations.
However, if Nezha were to walk to her own death, they could not blame the Dragon palace.
“Hmph, I do not value that doctrine or whatever.” Nezha scoffed as she raised the Huntian Ling.
The Huntian Ling tore apart the water like a club.
Ao Bing hefted her trident to defend. Water waves and the Huntian Ling’s crimson light clashed together, producing an immense jolt. After their brief entanglement, the Third Prince turned and entered the Dragon Palace. Nezha gave chase, but at this moment, Ao Bing shouted and activated the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array.
A pillar of divine light shot forth.
This light manifested countless magic circles around Nezha the moment it shone in the water. The Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array activated, and Nezha immediately seemed to be caught in a meat grinder. Whirlpools endlessly churned in her surroundings. Nezha circulated her Divine Energy, tread upon her wind-and-fire wheels, and she brandished the Huntian Ling.
The Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array was the Dragon palace’s protective formation.
The girl’s practical experience was too deficient. She was taken by the Ocean-calming Array after only last a few moments, unable to free herself. Seeing that the Great Deity Of Three Altars And Seas had been sucked into the array, Ao Bing inwardly sneered. She knew this Nezha would not survive. Thereupon, she went to the foot of that divine pillar. In it hung a Nightbright Pearl that glowed brilliantly. The Nightbright Pearl was not like other pearls. It emitted the faint aura of moonlight. This aura was ancient, profound, and mysterious. The seas seemed to be enveloped in a fog; clearly, it was a formidable magic treasure.
Ao Bing controlled this Nightbright Pearl, the light of which gradually constricted Nezha.
“Uh-oh.” The immature, doll-like girl only then realized she was caught in a trap. “You villain, if you have any skill at all, don’t use a magic treasure…”
Ao Bing did not pay her any heed.
Just at this moment, nine bright moons suddenly appeared in the mysterious fog. The nine moons were exceptionally bright, shining. In an instant, those moons outshone the mysterious light of the Nightbright Pearl, revealing a chance at life. A man suddenly appeared.
“Hm? A cultivator?” Seeing that a cultivator had intruded into the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array, Ao Bing was endlessly surprised. “Courting death.”
The array glowed with blue light.
“Destiny: Cleanse Nine Moons, Bathe The Heavens.”1
Changxi used her Destined Skill.
Nine moons glowed on Qi Lin’s body. The warm moonlight of each quelled the fury of the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array.
In the ten thousand li stretch of sea, even if Qi Lin’s soul was as powerful as a Primordial Infant, and even with the powerful constitution he forged with the Nine Yins Nine Yangs Fortune Heaven, it was a bit difficult to be here. Changxi’s “Cleanse Nine Moons” could allow Qi Lin to temporarily defy the pressure of the deep sea and even protect against the might of the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array. It could even eliminate some abilities and magical energy.
As expected of Changxi the Moon Mother, her Destiny left Qi Lin very awestruck.
Bang!!
Suddenly, the array let out an earth-shattering noise. The “Dragon Palace Nightbright Pearl” raised another eight halos. These eight balls of light about ten mu in size flew forth towards the nine moons as if to devour them.
The Nightbright Pearl’s eight divine lights shot out and immediately collided with the “Nine Moons.” The halos were instantly entangled with the light of the Nine Moons.
At the same time, the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array unleashed another thousand lights to attack. These were like the blades of celestial soldiers. However, these were aimed at killing Nezha. The Dragon King’s Third Prince was vicious; her first thought was to kill the Great Deity Of Three Altars And Seas, then attack the rest one by one.
“Cloud-piercing Arrow!!”
Qi Lin could not let things go as she pleased. If Nezha died, seizing the Ocean-calming Needle would truly fall beyond their reach. In the deep sea, Qi Lin acted with lightning speed. The Dark Heaven magic treasure flew forth; the Heaven-shaking Bow and Cloud-piercing Arrow were one, unleashing boundless magical energy at the same time.
The Heaven-shaking Bow shook the Nightbright Pearl’s eight divine lights, making the nine moonlights shine radiant once again. The Cloud-piercing Arrow sliced through the seawater, shooting into the glowing formation.
The arrow’s might was unstoppable. Those thousands of rays of light were disintegrated by the Cloud-piercing Arrow, opening a gap in the formation trapping Nezha.
“Millet Grain In Ocean!”
Ao Bing brandished her trident and used a technique.
The pervasive killing intent on the trident flooded the seas, transforming into three enormous water dragons that rolled through the water.
The Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array and Ao Bing were both troublesome, and Qi Lin did not want to get entangled with her. He saw her unleash a Destined Technique.
Thus, he activated the Great Earth Stele.
The Great Earth Stele floated out, blocking Ao Bing’s attack underwater like an immense mountain.
“Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array – Pearl Lost In Ocean!”2
Ao Bing used her trump card.
This ancient Nightbright Pearl glowed intensely, practically turning the deep night into day, “Annihilation Pearl!!” Qi Lin had no choice but to use another magic treasure. The Annihilation Pearl was refined by the Yayu using its own inner core. Having undergone the continuous refinement of the Ten THousands Beasts Unbounced Banner, it was finally barely in a state he could use.
When the Annihilation Pearl appeared, a gigantic black hole also manifested that unleashed black wind.
The black wind rampaged through over the seafloor, clashing with the Pearl Lost In Ocean.
“Huh, what is this magic treasure.” Ao Bing was agitated.
The Yayu’s inner core magic treasure was no ordinary magic treasure; the girl had never seen the like. This treasure contained the power that the Yayu had refined for millennia at Western Kunlun. It was incomparably powerful, and the ANnihilation Pearl’s black hole instantly severed the Pearl Lost In Ocean’s divine light. A corner of the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array was also sliced apart, revealing Nezha, who was already unconscious and covered int wounds.
Qi Lin activated the Escaping Heavenly Shuttle and the Heavenly Vertical Earthly Horizontal Escape, weaving through the Pearl Lost In Ocean’s magical energy, instantly arriving in front of her. He reached for the little girl’s tiny hand. “Come with me.”
Nezha saw a man’s face through blurry eyes. She had no time to think and could only search for a way to survive the array. The girl instinctively reached out, and her tiny hand was immediately gripped tight by Qi Lin’s large hand. He pulled the girl to his chest and used the Dual Modes Seal’s strength and softness to dispel the array’s oppression. Then, he quickly flew towards the surface.
“Thinking of running, are you!!”
Ao Bing was furious. She had tricked Nezha into the array after much difficulty and was unwilling to be taken advantage of by a man.
She rode the blue dragon and swung the trident at Qi Lin.
In the deep sea, the water pressure became increasingly heavy under Ao Bing’s control. Qi Lin retracted the Annihilation Pearl, but the Great Earth Stele was trapped by the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array and could not be recalled.
“Big Brother.” Changxi was above. Seeing Qi Lin appear, a Divine Crest glowed on her forehead.
The nine moon high above seemed to descend.
Although the nine moons were not the true celestial body, they were still created from Divine Energy and could not be underestimated. The nine moons descended simultaneously. Ao Bing blocked with her trident, but endless Divine Energy pounded her body, leaving her in agony beyond compare.
By the time she had repelled the nine moons, Qi Lin had already took Nezha and Changxi away from the vicinity of the Dragon Palace.
Ao Bing led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, riding the dragon out to the ocean’s surface, but as far as the eye could see, the seas were calm and empty. Any trace of Divine Energy was already lost. “Bastard, who was that man, that he actually could withstand the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array.” Ao Bing had suffered a loss and was infuriated over the humiliation.
“Your Highness, we had better return and deliberate with Her Majesty.” A subordinate suggested.
“Hmph, immediately dispatch people to investigate Dragon King Town clearly. That man has a Dark Heaven magic treasure and abilities that can withstand the array. There must be clues we can find.”
“As you command.”
“Return to the palace!!”

‘Shrimp soldiers’ and ‘crab generals’. It’s hard to take that imagery seriously…..
