Chapter 973: Burn the Heavens and Boil the Seas
Aboard the flagship of the Donghai Fleet, the Chief Admiral stood upon the bridge, gazing toward Fenglin through a telescope.
Before long, several dark specks appeared within the circular lens of his scope. They grew larger and clearer with each passing moment. They were the flying ships departing from Fenglin’s Mutsu Province.
The Chief Admiral muttered, “They’re coming.”
He lowered the telescope and commanded, “Proceed according to the original plan.”
A subordinate bowed in assent and hurried off.
The Donghai Fleet began dispersing outward to avoid being caught in the coming upheaval.
For this operation, the Daoists had deliberately transferred the Killing Stone—Tamamo-no-Mae’s true body—to Mutsu Province, ensuring that she could move beyond Fenglin’s bounds and wield her full power at the Longevity stage.
In a flash, the flying ships reached the designated waters. The four Longevity-stage Immortals circled around the Yinglong Warship, each casting one of Izanagi’s limbs into the sea below.
With each limb striking the waves, a colossal pillar of fire roared skyward. When all four touched the waters, the surrounding sea for hundreds of kilometers erupted into a blazing inferno. After all, it was the unknown fire of an ancient god.
Sage Qingwei stepped onto the deck of the Yinglong Warship, gazing down at the sea of flames.
A phantom voice seemed to whisper in his ears. It was Izanagi’s yearning call for resurrection.
However, Sage Qingwei was not like the amateur Qi Xuansu. His mind was untouched, utterly unmoved.
