The young man in black was Nie Wuji, the crown prince of the Dark Sea God Realm. In the past, the Dark Sea God Emperor had a conflict with the Beyond Heaven King and was defeated thoroughly.
After hearing the news about the Beyond Heaven King's successor, he couldn't sit still and send his son over. If it wasn't for his injury, he would come here personally by now.
As soon as Nie Wuji's voice fell, two divine cannons on the Dark Sea Ark charged up and sent powerful bullets toward the moonlight barrier, causing another round of explosions to sweep the nearby area.
However, the moonlight barrier was still unscratched, and Nan Wuji signaled his people to continue without rest.
In the far distance, Xie Lang looked at the terrifying power of the cannons and said in shock. "What kind of cannon is that? I think its firepower is enough to erase any middle-realm stars in one blow."
"That's the Dark Sea God Cannon. It's a well-known divine cannon of the Dark Sea God Realm. I heard that it was made according to a cannon from the Primordial Era." Feng Xiang said with a solemn expression. Even though he was far away, the cannon's power could make his entire body shake involuntarily.
"My god! With this cannon, who would be their opponent?" Xie Lang exclaimed.
"Ignorant." Feng Xiang glanced at his soon-to-be-former friend and muttered to himself.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rounds after round, the moonlight barrier shook nonstop by the bombardment, and a small crack could be seen appearing in it.
"Oh? Finally, can't hold it anymore?" Nie Wuji said in surprise. He thought it would take a few days to pry open a crack in the barrier. "Come. Blast it away and go in."
"Young Master, I think there's something wrong with it. We shouldn't hastily go in." A middle-aged man on the side stepped forward and said. He was one of the Dark Sea God Kings, the strongest guardian under the Dark Sea God Emperor, Nie Xu.
"Give me a reason." Nie Wuji glanced at him and said calmly.
"Yue Hua's profound strength may not be great, but the barrier she created should not be this easy to break. I'm afraid she has deliberately opened it." Nie Xu said.
As one of the oldest Dark Sea God Kings, his understanding of Yue Hua was higher than anybody. He had witnessed her heaven-defying divination countless times. She possibly already knew about their arrival a long time ago.
"So, you're saying we should completely give up this opportunity and go back like a defeated dog?" Nie Wuji asked with a half-smile.
Nie Xu shook his head and said. "We naturally won't give up, but we should investigate the situation first. We have yet to understand why the Thousand Faces God Emperor mysteriously retreated. It would be too risky to go in without knowing."
Nie Wuji's brows raised slightly. He pondered for a moment and said. "Well, you're right… Go. Send the Violet Thunder God Emperor a message that I will visit his realm."
Nie Xu was relieved inwardly upon hearing this. "Yes, Young Master."
"Oh, at the same time. Send our people in. I want to see what that old hag is doing right now," Nie Wuji said further.
Nie Xu glanced at two black-robed men behind him, and the two immediately disappeared from the place, rushing into the barrier through the crack.
"Also, contact Nie Gu. Tell him to visit the Divine Moon God Realm." Nie Wuji said with a faint smile. "Since she doesn't want to go back, we will give her a reason."
Nie Xu hesitated slightly but still complied in the end. The Divine Moon God Realm might be declined, but their strength was not low. Especially their Moon Guardians. Nie Gu, who was also a Dark Sea God King, might be unable to handle them alone.
Nie Wuji took one last glance at the moonlight barrier and said. "Let's go."
Afterward, the Dark Sea Ark turned around and left for the Violet Thunder God Realm.
"Eh? Where did they go?" Xie Lang was puzzled when he saw this. The barrier was obviously breached, yet the Dark Sea Ark chose to leave just like that.
Meanwhile, Feng Xiang felt something was wrong. He glanced around the place and saw many people flock into the gap in the barrier. These people didn't want to let this chance go, even though they knew it was risky.
"Hey, do you want to go in?" Xie Lang turned around and asked.
Feng Xiang hesitated slightly and said. "No. We will wait here."
"What? Why were we here in the first place, then?" Xie Lang didn't understand.
Feng Xiang was too lazy to explain. He steered his profound ship toward the crack in the moonlight barrier but stopped tens of kilometers away.
Just as Feng Xiang halted his ship, the crack in the barrier suddenly closed, returning to its original state.
Buzz—
All of a sudden, a dazzling moonlight shone within the barrier. It was so bright that Feng Xiang couldn't look at it and had to turn his head away.
"Arghhhhh!" Following that, shrill screams could be heard from the inside. It was a scream of someone being obliterated in an excruciating way.
When the moonlight slowly disappeared, Feng Xiang slowly turned to look at the barrier and saw blood mist scatter all over the place, making him shiver uncontrollably.
Xie Lang, who stood far away, looked at the scene and whispered in trembling. "God… I've just escaped death."
Feng Xiang returned to his sense. He didn't care about anything now and turned the ship, rushing out without looking back.
"Brother Feng! Where are you going?" Xie Lang was startled by his good brother's sudden action. He quickly steered his ship and followed Feng Xiang.
A similar scene happened everywhere outside the moonlight barrier. They didn't dare to stay here anymore.

In the beautiful garden, Ren Yuan calmly read a book while sipping tea. It was as if the commotion in the Eastern Divine Region had nothing to do with him.
A moment later, he said. "Since you're here, why don't you show up?"
As his voice fell, a slender woman emerged from the void. Her face was extremely beautiful, but her gloomy eyes simply ruined it.
She looked at Ren Yuan coldly. "Is it fun?"
Ren Yuan closed the book and looked at the woman. "How many times have I told you before that I don't like this face of yours, Qian Guimo."
