290: Mermaid Goddess

“Who dares disturb this Commander's slumber!”

The next moment, the Immortal-Rank Flame Demon sleeping within the ruins was startled awake, suddenly letting out a furious roar filled with malevolence.

Hearing this low growl, a large number of survivors in the city immediately collapsed, their legs turning to jelly, their faces filled with terror.

No one expected that this “Heavenly God,” who had just saved them from their sea of suffering, would instantly wake up the most terrifying Devil King here.

One must know that the Flame Demon Commander was far more vicious and brutal than the ordinary members of the Flame Demon Clan before.

Was this person here to save them, or to harm them?

“It's over. We have absolutely no way out now...”

Despair arose in many hearts, and the last spark of hope in their eyes slowly extinguished.

“Lord Heavenly God, if you are not confident, please leave this place quickly.”

The young girl was also terrified at this moment, but she still mustered the courage to say this to Lin Yang.

At the same time, Lin Yang looked at the terrified expressions of the crowd and shook his head, feeling somewhat amused and helpless.

It seemed his image as a Savior was not yet deeply rooted in their hearts; he needed some substantial battle achievements to truly stabilize their morale.

Just right. The Flame Demon Commander currently in a state of fury ahead, according to Lin Yang's perception, should have strength equivalent to an Earth Immortal Early Stage of the Human Race.

This level of strength was perfect for establishing dominance.

“To dare kill my clansmen! This is an act against Heaven! Today, all of you shall pay for your crimes with death!”

After the Flame Demon Commander woke up, he discovered many newly deceased Flame Demon corpses in the city, instantly flying into a rage.

The next moment, he locked onto Lin Yang, erupting with ten thousand feet of fiery light from his body, transforming into a sea of fire, and charging towards Lin Yang with the speed of thunder.

“Noisy!”

Lin Yang shouted sharply, his gaze suddenly becoming fierce. Immediately, he clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched out, a Divine Light of World Cleansing bursting forth between his fingers.

Bang!

As this punch landed, stars fell and the earth shook instantly, the space violently trembling, and the ten-thousand-foot sea of fire immediately fragmented and disintegrated.

Moreover, accompanied by a sharp, miserable scream emanating from the blast, many people watched with wide eyes as the entire Flame Demon Commander spat blood and flew backward.

Swish!

Looking at the figure flying backward, Lin Yang reached out and grabbed, instantly unleashing a tremendous suction force that pulled the flying Flame Demon Commander back.

He slowly lowered his head, looking at the gradually cooling corpse in his hand. The Flame Demon Commander's face still held a lingering expression of shock and disbelief, while Lin Yang couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly.

He never expected this Flame Demon Commander to be so weak.

After all, it was a being that had stepped into the Immortal Domain, yet it was directly killed by his punch containing the Power of Purification.

“Trash. I was hoping to get some intelligence out of you.”

Shaking his head irritably, Lin Yang tossed the Flame Demon Commander's corpse onto the ground nearby like trash, where it landed with a heavy thud.

And at this very moment, the surroundings were terrifyingly silent.

The expressions on the faces of those who had previously fallen into despair due to the awakening of the Flame Demon Commander were now incredibly spectacular.

“Damn it, have I been tortured into hallucinating?”

Someone frantically slapped their own face, trying to wake themselves up from this unbelievable illusion.

This was too unreal. Having been enslaved for too long, they simply couldn't imagine that one day such a powerful Overseas Visitor would appear, who could not only kill Flame Demon Clan experts as easily as slicing vegetables but could even slay a Flame Demon Commander in a single strike.

They wouldn't even dare to imagine such a scene in their everyday fantasies.

“Within the Flame Demon Clan, what Rank of existence is this Flame Demon Commander considered?”

However, soon Lin Yang's question brought everyone back to their senses, realizing that everything currently happening was real.

Yet, upon hearing this question, everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads in confusion.

Although Lin Yang had anticipated this reaction, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

After all, these people couldn't even defeat ordinary members of the Flame Demon Clan. The Flame Demon Commander was an unmatched existence to them, so asking them to Rank these unconquerable opponents was indeed difficult.

“Young Lord Heavenly God, although we do not know, our Mermaid Goddess certainly will.”

Seeing Lin Yang's slightly disappointed expression, the delicate young girl quickly spoke up.

“Mermaid Goddess?”

Lin Yang paused upon hearing this. Who was that deity?

Could it be that the natives of the Sea of All Things still had gods they worshipped?

“The Merfolk were once the true masters of the Sea of All Things, and the Goddess possesses the most ancient and pure Merfolk Bloodline...”

“The current Mermaid Goddess is the last deity of our Sea of All Things, and the Holy City she rules is the last pure land in this world...”

Under Lin Yang's questioning, the girl and the others quickly spilled out information about the Mermaid Goddess in a flurry of voices.

They learned from the crowd that the Sea of All Things was not entirely controlled by the Flame Demon Clan.

There was also an ancient Holy City that had not been occupied.

Under the leadership of the Mermaid Goddess, that Holy City gathered the last remaining strength of the entire Sea of All Things world and fought the final resistance against the Flame Demon Clan.

If they could escape to the Holy City, they could receive the protection of the Mermaid Goddess and thus gain true safety.

“Lord Heavenly God, please, we beg you to take us to the Holy City!”

However, the mountains were high and the road long. This place was hundreds of millions of miles away from the Holy City, and with their abilities, they couldn't possibly reach it before being discovered by the experts of the Flame Demon Clan.

What awaited them then would either be immediate death or becoming captive Blood Sustenance—there were no other options.

At this moment, only by pleading with the young Lord Heavenly God before them could they possibly find a path to survival.

“Do you know the location of that Holy City?”

Hearing the crowd's pleas, Lin Yang pondered for a moment and nodded.

Because according to the guidance given to him by the Dragon God, the three lives stone was originally guarded by the Merfolk Tribe of the Sea of All Things.

If that were the case, the Mermaid Goddess mentioned by the girl and the others was highly likely to know the whereabouts of the three lives stone.

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Lin Yang took the girl and the others and swiftly flew towards the Holy City, following the direction they provided.

However, these people clearly knew the Holy City more by reputation than by sight. Their directions nearly caused Lin Yang to get lost.

Fortunately, after circling around, Lin Yang personally sensed a special fluctuation emanating from a city deep underwater, finally bringing everyone safely before a majestic great city.

The city walls before them were hundreds of feet high, practically stacked like small mountains, and the surrounding area was tremendously vast, with the walls extending to the limits of sight without disappearing.

According to Lin Yang's senses, the number of living beings within this Holy City reached at least fifty million!

Compared to the city of ten thousand people where the girl and the others were previously located, this was definitely a magnificent great city.

What Lin Yang couldn't quite understand was: since the Mermaid Goddess mentioned by the girl and the others had the ability to protect a great city of this scale, why couldn't she genuinely drive out the Flame Demon Clan?

But if she didn't have this ability, why would the Flame Demon Clan be willing to allow such a large-scale native city to exist?

“We're here! We're here! We've reached the Holy City!”

While Lin Yang was feeling surprised and doubtful, the people who had successfully reached the Holy City cheered excitedly and rushed toward the city gates, vying to be first.
