252: Chapter 251 The Heavenly River Navy, a Roadblock?

Crossing the border of the White Jade Immortal State, the scenery of heaven and earth changed abruptly.

The originally azure sky was replaced by a vast, surging silver river. This river did not flow on the ground but hung high in the Nine Heavens, like the Milky Way hanging upside down, blocking the path between the mortal world and the Immortal Court.

This was the legendary—Tianhe!

The water of the Tianhe is known as Weak Water. A goose feather will not float, and even birds find it difficult to cross. Even more terrifying is that the water contains an extremely cold bone-eroding intent; if an ordinary Golden Immortal falls in, they will turn into pus and blood in a matter of moments.

At this time, on the opposite bank of the Tianhe, banners blotted out the sun and Killing Intent pierced the sky.

A full hundred thousand Tianhe Naval Forces, wearing bright silver Water Rhino Armor and holding Water-Parting Spikes, were already lined up in Formation. They stood on giant warships, as steady as Mount Tai amidst the waves. Every soldier exuded the aura of the True Immortal realm, and together, they formed a terrifying military force capable of shaking heaven and earth.

At the very front of the army, on a flagship that resembled a sea fortress, sat a burly general with a face full of scars and rough features.

He was bare-chested, revealing muscles like tempered steel, and held a Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand. He was the commander in charge of the eighty thousand Tianhe Naval Forces—Marshal Tianpeng!

Although he wasn't the Zhu Bajie from myths and legends, this man was a die-hard loyalist of the Seven Luminaries Immortal King. His cultivation had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Immortal realm, a powerhouse with half a foot in the Grand Unity realm!

"Report—!!!"

A scout riding a Flying Fish Beast rushed frantically to the flagship.

"Reporting to the Marshal! Lin Feng's Golden Chariot is less than a thousand miles from the Tianhe! The eighteen Sects that tried to block him along the way... have been, been completely wiped out!"

"What?!"

Marshal Tianpeng stood up abruptly, his Nine-Toothed Rake slamming heavily onto the deck, making the entire warship shake three times.

"A bunch of useless trash! Eighteen Sects couldn't even hold him back for a single day?"

A hint of wariness flashed in his eyes, but it was mostly the arrogance of being the Tianhe Dominator.

"Hmph! The Sects on land are nothing but a disorganized rabble. Once they reach this Tianhe, even if they are a Dragon, they must coil for me; if they are a tiger, they must crouch for me!"

"Pass down the order! Activate the 'Weak Water Formation'! Block the river surface!"

"As long as that Lin Feng dares to take one step into the Tianhe, this Marshal will let him taste the flavor of eternal damnation!"

...

"Rumble—"

The Golden Chariot stopped a hundred miles from the Tianhe.

Lin Feng stood at the front of the carriage, looking at the surging, bone-chilling Tianhe ahead, his eyebrows twitching slightly.

"This is the Tianhe? It looks like a sewer, a bit dirty."

"Master, this water isn't right."

Huang Fugui leaned on the railing, his tail flicking uneasily. "There are no fish, no shrimp, not even any water grass in this water. And there's a kind of... suction that wants to pull everything down."

"That is Weak Water."

Liu Ming stepped forward with a solemn expression. "Chief, this Weak Water cannot be flown across. There is a flight-prohibition Domain above the Tianhe. Unless one is a Grand Unity Golden Immortal, they can only cross by boat. But Marshal Tianpeng on the other side has blocked the waterway and even extracted the Weak Water Essence to set up a Formation. If our chariot tries to force a crossing, I'm afraid..."

"I'm afraid it will sink?" Lin Feng finished the sentence.

"Yes, not only will it sink, but this Weak Water is extremely corrosive. The chariot's Formations won't last long," Liu Ming said worriedly. "Should we... take a detour?"

"Detour?"

Lin Feng smiled, a very disdainful smile.

"A detour would mean traveling thirty thousand more miles and passing through several Forbidden Grounds. It's too much trouble."

"And..."

Lin Feng looked at the dense cluster of naval warships on the opposite side, his gaze becoming sharp.

"They've put on such a grand display to welcome me. If I don't go and say hello, wouldn't that make me seem very impolite?"

"You guys stay on the chariot and turn the Formations up to the maximum."

Lin Feng cracked his knuckles, making a series of popping sounds.

"Master, what are you going to do?" Huang Fugui had an ominous feeling.

"Go for a swim."

Lin Feng calmly spat out those four words.

The next second.

Boom!

His entire being was like a cannonball, ejecting directly from the chariot, drawing a golden arc in the sky, and then, under everyone's horrified gazes, he dived headfirst into the Tianhe's Weak Water, which was said to bring death upon contact!

"Chief!!!" Liu Ming and the others were scared to the point where their Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Splash!

Water splashed in all directions.

Seeing this, Marshal Tianpeng on the opposite side was stunned for a moment, then burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha! This idiot! He actually dares to enter the water with his Physical Body?!"

"Who does he think he is? An ancient god or demon? This Weak Water can even corrode high-grade Immortal Artifacts; he's seeking his own death!"

"All generals, hear my command! No need to attack, just watch him turn into a pool of bloody water!"

The hundred thousand naval soldiers also showed mocking smiles, their originally tense nerves instantly relaxing.

However.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Ten breaths passed.

The expected scene of Lin Feng screaming and melting did not occur.

On the contrary, the originally calm water surface suddenly began to churn violently, as if a giant beast was stirring underneath.

Crash—!!!

With a loud bang, the water surface exploded.

A bare-chested figure, his body flowing with a faint golden light, broke through the water and stood firmly on the crest of a wave!

It was Lin Feng!

Not only was he not dead, but his skin hadn't even turned red!

The Weak Water, which was enough to corrode the body of a Golden Immortal, was like a docile sheep before that layer of faint golden light, unable to erode him in the slightest!

The twelfth level of the Eternal Undying Sutra—Acquired Spirit Treasure level Physical Body!

Impervious to all techniques! Unharmed by Weak Water!

"Refreshing!"

Lin Feng wiped the water droplets from his face and grinned at the dumbfounded Marshal Tianpeng on the opposite side.

"The water temperature is quite cool, just right for a bath."

"What? Marshal Tianpeng, is this your only way of treating guests? Won't you send someone down to scrub my back?"

"How... how is this possible?!"

The smile on Marshal Tianpeng's face froze, and the Nine-Toothed Rake in his hand almost fell into the water. "Crossing Weak Water with a Physical Body?! This is a skill only a Grand Unity Body Cultivator has! What kind of monster is this kid?!"

"Impossible! It must be an illusion! Or he has some water-avoiding supreme treasure on him!"

Shame turned into anger as Marshal Tianpeng brandished his rake and roared:

"Kill him! Fire all arrows! Turn him into a hedgehog!!"

Swish, swish, swish, swish—!!!

The hundred thousand naval soldiers snapped out of it and instantly drew their bows and set arrows. Specially-made Armor-Piercing Crossbow Arrows were as dense as raindrops, carrying the sharp whistle of tearing air as they covered the sky and shot toward Lin Feng!

"Can't afford to lose, can you?"

Standing on the crest of the wave, Lin Feng neither dodged nor avoided the sky full of arrows.

He took a deep breath, his chest swelling high, and then he suddenly threw a punch at the water surface!

"Rise... for me!!!"

Rumble—!!!!

The terrifying punch force struck directly into the bottom of the water, triggering a chain reaction.

The millions of tons of Weak Water in front of Lin Feng were forcibly lifted by this brute force, turning into a giant water wall a thousand feet high. Like a tsunami, it slapped back toward the sky full of arrows!

Crack, crack, crack!

Those specially-made crossbow arrows hit the water wall like toothpicks hitting a steel plate, snapping and flying off one after another.

And the giant water wall's momentum did not decrease, carrying Lin Feng's violent power as it slammed heavily into the foremost naval warships!

"Not good! Get out of the way!!"

"Boom!!!"

Under the slap of the water wall, several giant warships were as fragile as paper boats, instantly shattering into pieces! Hundreds of naval soldiers fell into the water screaming and were instantly swallowed by the Weak Water, corroded clean before even a bubble could rise.

This was the correct way to use Weak Water!

Lin Feng stood on the crest of the wave like a demon god walking on water, pointing at Marshal Tianpeng and hooking his finger:

"Come down."

"Or, I'll go up and twist your pig head off."
