Stranger Danger

That’s right. The Sea Burning Demonic Fire did not break out from one region and spread to other regions only. It could emerge from several or even dozens of sea regions at the same time.

This was another reason why the Sea Burning Demonic Fire was so feared.

If the Sea Burning Demonic Fire only broke out from one area and spread to other regions from there, then it would have been easy to deal with. As long as the outbreak was discovered in time, the Profound Alliance absolutely possessed the strength to confine it to a certain area and prevent it from spreading. Even if they couldn’t, they would have more than enough time to evacuate the people and minimize the damage.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. The outbreak—especially a large-scale outbreak—usually happened at many different places at the same time. Not only did it happen suddenly, it affected large swathes of areas in very little time. It was simply impossible to defend against.

The infamous Sea Burning Demonic Fire incident from over four hundred years ago was one such case. It was estimated that the Sea Burning Demonic Fire had broken out of seven to eight hundred places at the same time and affected several million kilometers of sea. The Profound Alliance only had so many elites, and it was far too easy to attend to one thing only to lose sight of another. They simply did not possess the numbers to save everyone. That was why it ended up being one of the most tragic and epic disasters in the history of the Profound Alliance.

Learning from past mistakes, the Profound Alliance came up with a series of emergency measures and countermeasures. One of them was that an outbreak must be reported to the headquarters at first notice. This was so that the Profound Alliance could measure the scale of the Sea Burning Demonic Fire accurately and plan accordingly.

Besides that, the Profound Alliance had set up observation points in many places to keep an eye out for the Sea Burning Demonic Fire.

Thanks to this, one could find out roughly how big and serious the outbreak was just by contacting the Profound Alliance.

“Manshan, it’s bad...” It was at this moment Ming Yueying descended from the sky. Her voice reached them before her person.

Seeing his wife’s pale complexion and panicked gestures, Jin Manshan felt his heart sink to the bottom. He had a bad feeling about this.

“I just contacted the Profound Alliance. Their Fire Watcher told me that, as of the latest update, at least four hundred outbreaks points had been spotted, and over hundreds of thousands of kilometers of sea have already been affected by the Sea Burning Demonic Fire. This includes the sea regions surrounding the Southern Sea Sword Sect, the Floating Light Celestial Island, the Sun Worship Divine Kingdom, and the Profound Moon Dynasty.”

Ming Yueying spilled it all as soon as she landed on the tower. Her expression was fearful, and her body was trembling. She was so stunned and afraid she didn’t even notice Ye Qing and Feng Qingyou standing right next to her husband.
