Chapter 966: Invincible Navy Fleet

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The Yinkang Clan’s fleet split the waves apart as they sailed back to their clan on the Heavenly River. The upper course of the river belonged to the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s domain; in every thousand miles, there would be a huge army camp and a dock surrounded by countless warships.

Throughout the journey, camps were everywhere and the soldiers were practicing hard; their ships sailed at lightning speed as they engaged in a training battle.

“Halt, King Yi!”

A warship sailed towards them and the commander of Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Lou Zhengshi stood on the bow. When the ships came close, Lou Zhengshi greeted, “King Yi, Zhengshi had benefited a lot after hearing your lecture about the seventh secret realm. I really admire your generosity. As such, I’ve excused myself from my duty for a moment to have a drink with you.”

The divine generals then set up a bridge between the two ships before Lou Zhengshi headed to the center of the bridge while several gods holding wine followed behind. Zhong Yue then walked forward as well and Yin Fukang as well as Fu Li quickly followed behind him.

Behind Lou Zhenghi, the gods served them a cup of wine, which was then accepted by Zhong Yue and Lou Zhenghi.

“To King Yi.”

Lou Zhengshi raised the cup and before he drank it all, he said, “After this drink, King Yi will not be my friend anymore and because of my duty, I will not have mercy on you if we ever fight on two different sides.”

Zhong Yue drank the wine, handed the cup back to the gods and replied seriously, “Understood. Thank you for this fine wine. Take care.”

“You too.”

With one final glance exchange, the two returned to the ship and as the ships parted, Lou Zhengshi bowed at Zhong Yue far away, to which Zhong Yue bowed back.

“Father-in-law, please be prepared. Imperial Emperor Lou Zhengshi might attack anytime,” said Zhong Yue after the Yinkang Clan’s fleet sailed away.

Yin Fukang immediately had the fleet to raise the guards up and when Fu Li turned around, instead of the Heavenly River Navy Fleet’s massive and grand warships, he saw many Mengchong Warships, each with a thousand paddles that torn the calmness in the water, sailing away with relentless speed like ferocious dragons.

Yin Fukang let out a relieved sigh and said, “Lou Zhengshi had come with the Mengchong Warships instead of the Louchuan Warships. It seems like the Heaven Court is not planning to go to war with Xian Tian Palace yet since the army Lou Zhengshi brought this time is not that strong.”

Zhong Yue, however, disagreed, “Father-in-law, if you really think so, then we will all be dead. Though Heaven Court has yet to start the war, they can still start it anytime.

Yin Fanxuan nodded, “If they could strike down Xian Tian Palace’s King Yi, sever a trusted and reliable vassal of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, then what is wrong with starting a war right now? Father, if we are not careful enough, we might all die here.”

Yin Fukang burst out laughing hearting the two comments and he said proudly, “Die here? Daughter, you’ve underestimated we Yinkang Clan’s navy! Men, full sail, roll the wheels and prepare for combat!”

The gods in the fleet immediately lowered the sails, while another hundred of them rolled the wheels, spinning them quickly; there were a total of four wheels, two at each side of the ship.

As the wheels spun, they added more power and greatly heightened the speed of the ships massively!

With incredible speed, the fleet sailed even quicker, but as warships designed for sneak attacks, the Mengchong Warships were much quicker.

On the Mengchong Warships, with the thousand paddles, they split the water apart and chased after the Yinkang Clan’s fleet with a speed faster than flying.

However, Yin Fukang did not feel uneasy at all and he laughed, “Son, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet is undefeatable. It is hard to find another navy on par with them. They possess various warships and on the water, no one could win against them but only us, the Yinkang Clan is the only race that can rival them. After Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan sealed our bloodline, trapped us in the State of Heavenly River for years but this morphed us into a race that lived with the water. This is also the reason why Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept on trying to recruit us.”

Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up, “Father-in-law, you mean that you have already arranged the Yinkang Clan’s navy to escort us?”

Yin Fukang nodded, “As the clan master, I have to take care of everything. Before I left from our clan, I’ve already had them stationed here to escort us, and to ambush the Heavenly River Naval Fleet!”

Zhong Yue praised silently. Those who were able to become the clan master were all talented in their own ways; Yin Fukang had always behaved like a child, speaking in a foul manner and loving to brag. In truth, his frivolous facade was so that he would not be taken seriously, which was undoubtedly an advantage.

But can the Yinkang Clan’s navy rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet?

Zhong Yue was a little worried.

“While you are talking on the Martial Saint Stage, I’ve already notified the elders in the clan to station the navy here.”

Yin Fukang said, “They should be here by now.”

Fu Li frowned, “Then where are they? I don’t see anything.”

Right now, as they stood at the bow, they had a clear vision onto everything ahead; the Heavenly River was extremely vast and as the waves toppled onto each other, stars enlarged and descended onto the air luminously.

On the surface of the river, there was not even a tiny ship, let alone a massive fleet that could rival the Heavenly River Naval Fleet.

The State of Heavenly River located right in the Heavenly River above Zi Wei Imperial Star, somewhere not far away from the Heaven Court and they should have been here by now. However, everyone felt uneasy when the Yinkang Clan’s naval was nowhere in sight.

“They are here,” confirmed Yin Fukang calmly.

“Halt!”

He suddenly raised his hand and ordered, “Drop the anchors! Let them witness the might of our Yinkang Clan’s naval!”

The banner officers waved the flags, giving out complicated flag codes and the Louchuan Warships stopped right away in the middle of the river.

Yin Fukang then smiled, “Son, take a look at the Yinkang Clan’s naval might.”

Zhong Yue looked around and just as he was puzzled after seeing no ships still, he suddenly realized something and he was shaking when he looked right into the water beneath them.

Hundun Yu, Fu Li, and the others also looked towards the bottom and they were all surprised.

Under the water, one after another massive warship traveled swiftly and charged towards the Mengchong Warships.

These were the Yinkang Clan’s warships. Outside of these ships, there was a half-sphere that covered the ships’ deck, which blocked off the water and the Yinkang Clan’s gods were all standing up straight on the deck.

They all wore black armor, and in their hands were dangerous divine weapons that made no noise at all.

Impressive!

Zhong Yue praised in his heart.

One after another, these warships sailed underneath the water and the Mengchong Warships were also sailing forward in hight speed without knowing what was about to happen.

Hong long—

The river surface exploded as the massive warships emerged, knocking the Mengchong Warships up, and even splitting them in half.

Countless gods immediately fell right into the water, which was the Star Water that contained endless stary and metamagnet rays as well as various universe lasers. When they all fell into the water, they were all grinded into pieces before they could even let out a scream.

At the same time, cannons were fired. Hundreds after hundreds of cannons unleashed hell onto the Mengchong Warships, evaporating the Heavenly River Naval Fleet. Not even top graded armor donned onto the gods could withstand a strike.

After the rammings and cannon firings, the spheres on the Yinkang Clan’s warships faded while the Yinkang Clan’s gods hurled chain hooks, immobilizing the Mengchong Warships and the Yinkang gods set up bridges before they charged towards their enemies!

The reason behind why they had to set up bridges was because of the abnormally powerful metamagnetic force in the Heavenly River that prevented anyone from flying; if someone tried to fly, he would be dragged into and swallowed by the river by the metamagnetic force.

These bridges were all specially forged divine weapons to resist the dangers coming from the Heavenly River.

Due to the distance, Zhong Yue could not hear any noises but he could see the figures engaged in battles and the blood slattering everywhere!

More and more Yinkang Clan’s warships emerged from the water and the outcome was decided since the start. In order to catch up to Zhong Yue and the others, Lou Zhengshi’s force traveled using the Mengchong Warships, which were all very tiny compared to Louchuan Warships.

Soon, the Mengchong Warships sank, devouring the Heavenly River. There were a dozen of them there were captured and they surrendered quickly.

Lou Zhenghis is more than this, he surely wouldn’t let me win that easily.

However, Yin Fukang was a little restless and he squinted as he looked towards the far.

Far away from the other side, one after another Louchuan warship appeared and they could only be seen vaguely given how far they were.

And as an Imperial Emperor, if he couldn’t see clearly, then neither could the others.

Don’t even think of catching up with us now that the distance is so far.

Yin Fukang let out a relieved breath and said, “Once they catch up with us, we are probably already in the State of Heavenly River. Lou Zhengshi may be powerful in the Heavenly River but things are different in the State of Heavenly River.”

Zhong Yue suddenly opened his divine third eye, looked towards the newly appeared fleet and he could vaguely see muscular gods pushing huge eggs into the river. As the eggs fell into the water, they opened up and disappeared without a sign.

He then asked Yin Fukang about that, which had Yin Fukang’s expression changed drastically while shouting, “Incoming! The Heavenly River Naval Fleet has unleashed the Star Beasts! Raise the defensive cloak right away!”

The banner officers immediately gave out the flag codes, and the banner officers from the other warships quickly did the same and passed the order to the other warships.

Weng—

The defensive cloaks were activated, protected the Louchuan Warships and Yin Fukang looked around nervously.

Ka cha—

The Heavenly River split apart as countless huge tentacles grabbed onto a warship and dragged this warship whose defensive cloak has yet to be fully activated into the water along with the soldiers in it!
