Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"Strengthen the alert!" Lin Rui issued orders again, "Everyone, put on your armor, and have the mages apply 'Water Avoidance Spell' and 'Arrow Defense Technique' to everyone, then send two people to notify the two candidates for the Divine Envoy from the Demon Suppression Forest, and have them keep an eye on the river, ready to rescue at any time!" 'Water Avoidance Spell' and 'Arrow Defense Technique' are low-level magic spells, but very practical. One allows ordinary people to walk underwater freely, and the other provides protection against arrows, consuming very little energy, and everyone can benefit from them. Lin Rui and Ji Xueying also put on the Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor and Lin Rui cast a spell himself, applying magic to a few people around him. His magic was not comparable to the 'Water Avoidance Spell' or 'Arrow Defense Technique.' Lin Rui had exchanged for Dragon Stage magic spells, which also came from 'Ling Huan,' directly at the Grandmaster Level, costing him 50,000 points of Soul Power! Although Lin Rui's Primordial Spirit was currently too weak to use it, he could still draw parallels and elevate his high-level Grandmaster Level magic to a new height. Lin Rui then summoned his frequently used 'Spiritual Sky Dragon,' but just as he formed the hand seal, his eyes narrowed. The 'Spiritual Sky Dragon' had already been summoned by someone else who possessed the 'National Guardian Dragon Seal,' capable of summoning the National Guardian Dragon. Lin Rui could have forcibly summoned it, but with most of the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon's' power occupied, the summoned 'Spiritual Sky Dragon' would at best be at the Seven Realms Super Emperor level, not only significantly weaker in strength but also much reduced in sensing ability. Lin Rui thought to himself that he would have to find out who was using the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon' today. He promptly changed his approach and summoned Song Renzong's 'Infinite Emperor Dragon,' while also giving the order, "Alert underwater!" It was just a pity that the 'Detection Buoys' deployed by Xue Lingxue were limited in capabilities and could not accurately pinpoint the position of these stealth submarines. The video sent by Xue Lingxue was detected only when the stealth submarines passed nearby the 'Detection Buoys.' The Sky Suspension River was quite wide, its narrowest point still being about sixty miles across, and ordinary people standing on either bank would feel as if they were staring at an endless sea. The Sky Suspension River was also very deep, reaching over 1200 meters. Thus, Lin Rui had no idea where these stealth submarines were hidden, otherwise, he would let two Eight Realms imperial guard Generals release their Extreme Moves to destroy them all and prevent them from succeeding before their mission even started. After Ji Xueying put on the Dragon Armor, she reminded Shangguan Tianyi by her side, "Stay alert, and if you have any Extreme Moves, prepare them in advance! There's a ninety-nine percent chance something will go wrong while we cross the river." She too was in the battle group and had seen the video sent by Xue Lingxue. Ji Xueying had recently studied a lot of human knowledge and understood the detection devices in the video. Shangguan Tianyi's heart tightened, and she tightly gripped the sword at her waist. Her sword was also given to her by their lord, a spoils of war incorporated with Outer Heaven Demon technology, a 7SS grade sword weapon suitable for her, capable of handling her most powerful swordplay. Xianyu Yan was nearby, also watching underwater, then slightly furrowed her brows. There certainly was something underwater, but her 'Sky Vision Earth Listening' also struggled to determine the location. Lin Hao seemed to have noticed the problem, although Xianyu Yan didn't know how he detected it without the 'Spiritual Sky Dragon,' but since he knew there were issues underwater, why did he still decide to cross the river to the southern bank? Did he believe they had made thorough preparations, making it difficult for the enemy to do anything? Or was he trying to lure the Outer Heaven Demons into taking action? Indeed, those Heavenly Demons were bold. But if they dared to act under God's watch, they must have some confidence in their chances of success. Of course, there was also a possibility that these Outer Heaven Demons were merely bluffing. Was Lin Hao really so confident, effectively ensuring his guaranteed victory? At this moment, Lin Rui, clad in two Zhang high Dragon Armor, boarded a five-tiered warship and sat down at the command seat on the front deck. Due to the large number of people being escorted, they had to use three warships to cross the river. Lin Rui specially placed mage Zhu Tiantang and a group of Seventh Realm Heavenly Demons on the warship he was boarding, personally overseeing them. He propped his chin with his hand, thoughtfully observing Zhu Tiantang inside the prisoner's cart. "How strange, it seems like your hope hasn't faded, you're still expecting something! After boarding the ship, you seem particularly excited!" Zhu Tiantang's expression turned bewildered, wondering how this bastard figured it out. Since their prisoner's cart had left the South City Gate, Lin Hao had noticed something was off. Zhu Tiantang had adjusted his sitting posture, sitting upright and not even daring to close his eyes, his face expressionless. He had even deliberately controlled his heartbeat and the flow of his Blood Qi to avoid any leaks. The other Seventh Realm Heavenly Demons in nearby prisoner's carts were also glaring at Zhu Tiantang with wide eyes, furious. This guy was at least an Eighth Realm, reportedly in charge of numerous projects under that marshal, with extensive experience. How could he not keep his composure? It was because of this guy that the Luojing Estate's base was exposed. Lin Rui rubbed his chin with his steel-like hand, sinking into thought, "I feel that their target might not necessarily be you all. Think about it, what's the use of rescuing you? Your Battle Dragons are still suppressed in the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower, once the Battle Dragons are destroyed, your Primordial Spirits will be severely injured and your cultivations will inevitably suffer massive losses, risking so much to rescue you, what's the point? Unless they're also planning to strike at the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower simultaneously." "However, the Ten Thousand Dragon Tower is even more dangerous than the Demon Suppression Forest, without eight to ten Ninth Realms, don't even think about taking it down, and they must not alert the gods." Lin Rui narrowed his eyes, "So your real target is me, you want to kill me on this Sky Suspension River, right?" "But trying to kill me is not so easy; two Divine Envoy candidates are nearby, both the Divine Emperor and the Emperor are watching this place, would those Ninth Realms dare to show themselves? Aren't they afraid of being suppressed and captured by the Divine Emperor? Although the Divine Emperor lies high in the Divine Palace, in Divine Sleep, rarely interfering in the mundane world, the Ninth Realms of the Heavenly Demons are exceptions." Lin Rui then snapped his fingers, "I see, the real danger is from the people around me, only within fifty steps of me could they possibly kill me! That includes you lot as well." Zhu Tiantang couldn't help but twitch, thinking, what kind of brain does this guy have? Without saying anything, without any expression, how did this guy figure it out? And how did he come to that conclusion? Your reasoning is really helpless, isn't it? Without a shred of evidence. "Come!" Lin Rui tactically reclined back onto the commander's chair behind him, "Before we set sail, give them a dose of medicine first! Give them 'Samadhi True Essence Dispersing Powder'!" Hearing the words "Samadhi True Essence Dispersing Powder", Zhu Tiantang's heart suddenly relaxed. Thinking no matter how clever Lin Hao was, in the end, he still miscalculated. He snickered, about to say something, but then he saw several Seventh Realm colleagues beside him looking at him coldly. Their eyes seemed to say, try moving your mouth again! If you move your mouth, you might destroy our last hope. Reluctantly, Zhu Tiantang remained silent, feeling that Lin Hao's reasoning didn't much relate to his expression management, but he still shut his mouth and said nothing. Just then, Lin Rui's trusted aide, Wang Nianqi, came out holding several packets of medicine and dissolved the powder into the water. He exchanged a look with Lin Rui and then forced the medicated water down Zhu Tiantang and the others. Zhu Tiantang briefly sensed it and felt that it indeed was "Samadhi True Essence Dispersing Powder". His True Qi and Bloodline were already suppressed by the Suppressing Primordial Nail and Severing Vein Needle, unable to condense, and now it was even more scattered, unable to gather strength. Moments later, three large ships simultaneously started, heading toward the southern shore opposite. Lin Rui also shifted his gaze from these Heavenly Demon prisoners to the Demon Suppression Forest. People always wondered why Great Song insisted on building the Demon Suppression Forest on the southern bank of the Sky Suspension River rather than the north bank closer to Luojing. Inside the Earth Federation, there were many speculations; some guessed that the land on the north bank was more expensive, some thought that only the south bank had enough geomantic lines for the arrays. However, the most plausible guess was that something very dangerous was being fostered underneath the Demon Suppression Forest, a creature that Great Song's East Abyss was nurturing with the souls and Essence Blood of Outer Heaven Demons. As the ships reached the middle of the river, Wing Colonel Song Yingwu from the "Imperial Guards" suddenly exclaimed in surprise, looking down into the water. Gritting his teeth, he shouted fiercely, "Cunning villains!" Lin Rui's eyebrows also raised, as hundreds of bubble torpedoes and two hundred underwater missiles were simultaneously attacking the warship they were on.
