Let's do: "An Long Zun did not dare to move, for fear that, like the lecherous man, his fleshly body would be destroyed and his divine fetus devoured. The divine fetus is the aggregation of a cultivator's entire essence, energy, and spirit; if it is devoured, then the soul and spirit scatter, leaving no hope of revival."

outlaws' second and third armies

Master, I have raised them for so many years, living in debauchery and ease; now it's time for them to risk their lives… Just in case, bring three fox tails from the Nine Fox Tails over. Keep them aside; don't use them unless absolutely necessary.

Master Hu's body trembled slightly; the fat on him seemed to sag downward, his outline showing signs of shifting from bloated to stalwart. The next instant, Master Hu exhaled, and his tensed fat suddenly loosened, returning him to his usual rotund, portly figure.

Several Hu family youths standing beside him sprang into action, continuously issuing orders from their sound-transmitting talismans.

Master Hu narrowed his eyes, turned his head, and glanced toward the rear flank of the massive warship. There, a colossal ultra-long-distance spatial gate was under frantic construction. However, this location lies far beyond the borders of Great Jin, requiring an extraordinarily long transmission distance, so the gate's structure is immensely complex, incorporating some techniques that Great Jin has never seen before.

Consequently, this spatial gate has consumed considerable time yet remains unfinished.

Once the spatial gate is successfully established, the power of the Fox Tails, their outer fringe cannon‑fodder forces, and even the cannon‑fodder forces assembled by those outer fringe units will flow in incessantly, arriving at this coffin‑shaped great island at the utmost speed to seize every resource useful to the Linghu clan.

Moreover, the technology for this ultra‑long‑distance giant spatial gate comes from the heavens!

By mobilizing the nation's strength and the tribute merits accumulated by Great Jin over nearly ten thousand years, the new technology obtained from the heavens… only a tiny fraction of these peripheral techniques is used to reform Great Jin's Divine State's official spatial‑gate system; the essential core, however, has been wholly monopolized by the Linghu clan, becoming their family's paramount secret.

Using Great Jin's resources to profit the Linghu clan… whenever Master Hu thinks of it, he feels delighted.

He lightly patted his belly, waves rippling across his pallid flesh; Master Hu smiled until his eyes narrowed to slits, then gently, tenderly stroked the tabby cat the maid handed him.

On the island, over a thousand outlaws had gathered, gritting their teeth and staring fixedly at the woman in red.

Everyone knows who Dark Dragon Sovereign is; among the assembled leaders, his strength ranks in the top ten. That such a master could be slapped to death by the woman in red is clear to all.

But when Master Hu's order arrived, everyone understood even more clearly what defying him entails.

"Even a tiger fears a pack of wolves… charge!" a gaunt, stick‑thin old man brandished a strange curved blade, shrieking hysterically: "Master, as long as you capture her alive, I don't care if she's still a maiden… heh heh, such a lovely lass with such formidable power—I must taste her!"

His evil words, his hysterical roar, instantly ignited the cruelty and savagery in everyone's hearts.

Hundreds of outlaws simultaneously expanded their bodies, each growing to tens or even hundreds of zhang tall, transforming into giants that charged at the woman in red. Wu Tie stared wide‑eyed beside them; the ability to manifest Heaven and Earth as one's form is a tremendous divine power, rarely achieved in folk cultivation. That every one of them could wield it shows they have received sufficiently advanced arts from Master Hu.

Even mighty beings have directly implanted divine‑power seeds into them!

Wu Tie drew a deep breath. Then he remained hidden, motionless in the rear. The parasitic worm on his heart posed no threat; he had only been ordered to deal with the Fox Tails, not to serve Master Hu. He wondered what mysteries this island held that warranted such a grand mobilization by Master Hu.

After manifesting Heaven and Earth, various Dao manifestations fused into their divine embryos. The giants the outlaws had become let out low roars, waving their hands to summon light‑dragons of heavenly‑earthly primordial energy, stirring seas of fire and water, whipping up hail and gales, accompanied by thunder and lightning; the terrifying primordial‑energy tide swiftly engulfed the woman in red.

The woman in red furrowed her brow.

She seized Dark Dragon Sovereign's divine embryo, without even having time to knead it into a meatball to swallow, and simply lifted him, shaking him left and right in the void to deflect each fierce strike. Her movements were marvelously ethereal; despite hundreds of outlaws attacking with all their might, not a single strand of her hair was touched.

The next moment, at least thirty‑odd binding cords—dragon‑binding ropes, golden‑shimmering cords, immortal‑binding ropes and other sealing treasures—shot into the air, turning into streams of light that wound toward the woman in red. Moreover, more than ten treasure towers, dozens of imperial seals, a dozen great mountains, over a hundred archways, and assorted heavyweight treasures came crashing down upon her.

Furthermore, dozens of divine pillars flashed with multicolored light as they burst from the ground; hundreds of various pearls, treasure pearls, divine pearls, and spirit pearls shimmered and rained down in succession. Even dozens of array diagrams unfurled in mid‑air, projecting countless illusory small‑world halos that showered onto the woman in red.

Among them were vast quantities of flying knives, flying swords, spears, staffs, arrows, crossbow bolts, thunderclap bombs, yin‑thunder grenades, and the like—countless attacks fell like a violent storm, howling toward the woman in red.

Many of these outlaws have served Master Hu for a thousand years, committing countless shameful deeds—raiding, burning, killing, looting—filling their purses handsomely. Now, urged by Master Hu, they all fight desperately, naturally unleashing every hoarded treasure.

A mere force of a few thousand managed to project a menace more terrifying than that of a million‑strong elite army.

Off‑guard, the woman in red was first bound tightly by a dozen or so sealing cords, then bombarded round after round by hundreds of heavy treasures; thereafter a frenzy of blows rained down, setting her body ablaze with sparks, her red robe tearing open in threads to reveal large patches of pallid flesh.

With a "wah", she spat a mouthful of pure white blood; the plasma hit the ground and instantly turned into white flames that spread rapidly, in an instant burning a pit several li wide into the earth.

"I… I… it's hateful; I still lack a bit of timing, needing the death‑and‑rebirth divine power to fully exert myself. If I succeed, I'll not only heal my wounds but also break through my former bottleneck, advancing my cultivation… how hateful!" The woman in red screamed hoarsely: "If my natal spirit treasure from back then were still here, you ants…"

Mid‑speech, a pitch‑black mountain‑shaped treasure smashed down, slamming into her forehead and staggering her; she collapsed in utter disgrace, and the Dark Dragon Sovereign's divine embryo in her hand lurched forward, letting out a "hu" as it turned into a dim light that struck into the body of a Green Willow Manor outlaw.

That outlaw merely gave a miserable yell, then his body began to writhe rapidly, and in the snap of a finger he took on the form of Dark Dragon Sovereign.

"Hahaha, brothers, this old dragon is back!" Dark Dragon Sovereign snarled through gritted teeth: "Hateful, hateful—my painstakingly forged demon‑dragon body destroyed by this woman, thousands of years of bitter effort, thousands of years of bitter effort!"

"Heh heh, give this woman a good thrashing; once I capture her alive, I'll be the first to have her!" Dark Dragon Sovereign howled hysterically.

The woman in red struggled to rise, but her body shuddered and the sealing treasures on her snapped apart one after another; she howled, trying to stand, her pallid palms repeatedly blasting the sky as heavy treasures kept falling, only for her hands to smash them to pieces.

But the assault was too dense, and hundreds of outlaws unleashed chaotic divine powers; the rips in her red robe widened, her body continually took heavy blows, and she kept spitting blood. Though she had just devoured that lecherous man's divine embryo, gaining much vigor, it swiftly waned. As she herself said, her strength had not returned to its peak.

Outside, ever more outlaws arrived, silently joining the siege, as ever more divine arts and heavy treasure weapons kept raining down.

The woman in red was beaten until she couldn't get up, and where she lay a huge pit was blasted out.

Frustrated and furious, she suddenly let out a long whistle to the heavens, and then from the black pool where her original form resided, a strand of black-and-white intertwined divine light shot up into the sky.

In the next moment, a half-black, half-white lotus flew out of the black pool, slowly rotating as it landed at the feet of the woman in red. Black and white qi surged around her; numerous attacks and secret treasures fell down, and upon being stirred by the black and white qi they were instantly crushed to powder.

The woman in red stared blankly, then burst into hysterical laughter.

"Hahaha, Heaven has not doomed me; this place is actually a cave-heaven spirit aperture of acquired creation, and an innate spirit treasure born here has become my natal spirit treasure! Hehe, hehe, hehe, my fortune from back then hasn't run out yet!"

The woman in red laughed wildly insane, then she waved both hands; the black-and-white lotus several feet in diameter beneath her feet burst forth a great sheet of light, transforming into countless light swords that shot out in all directions.

With just that strike, the over two thousand outlaws gathered here, including dozens of strong cultivator chieftains, were all blasted by the black-and-white condensed light swords into blood mist; over two thousand divine fetuses appeared, each letting out terrified screams.
