Chapter 362: Chapter 361: The Gate of Heaven and Earth

Power, indeed Lin Hao already has a bit.

Song Family, Mingyang Sect, can be said to be Lin Hao’s forces now.

Plus the Atlantis tribe at the bottom of the sea, with such good resources, not to establish his own power would truly be a waste.

"The title of Great Witch is but a name, after all. If everyone follows me, it means they respect me; just calling me ’big brother’ will suffice."

Since he wanted to establish power, winning people’s hearts was necessary. Lin Hao, having lived two lives, calling him ’big brother’ wouldn’t take advantage of anyone.

Lan Tianhao looked at Lin Hao in surprise, momentarily unable to react.

Yet Lin Hao simply smiled and looked at Lan Tianhao: "As for the tribe’s Great Witch, you shall assume the role. I am merely a figurehead, while the actual management is in your hands."

"Yes! Your subordinate will do his utmost to assist my lord!"

Lan Tianhao was straightforward. ’Big brother’ couldn’t be said, but for Death Island, which had left behind countless legacies over thousands of years, calling out ’my lord’ from the era of the Three Kingdoms was quite appropriate.

"Good."

Lan Tianhao was on the right track, and Lin Hao was very satisfied.

Now with power, everything that follows must change.

That old man beneath the sea said it was simple to deal with the Half Mermaids—just acquire the Holy Artifact of the Atlantis tribe, and the Half Mermaid tribe would be easily shattered.

"I promised someone to help him clean house. Today’s victory is just a small one. Next, we need to act quickly, so I’ve decided, we attack the lair of the Half Mermaid tribe now!"

With three thousand Nagas on hand, as well as the cooperation of the people of Death Island, Lin Hao no longer considered the Half Mermaid tribe a threat; even if it was a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, he was determined to storm through.

"We’ve been waiting for this day!" Lan Tianhao was equally excited, their wounds no longer an issue, enough for a grand battle, to annihilate the Half Mermaids and to finally leave this sea—a hope passed down by generations of Death Island.

Now, hope was within sight. Who wouldn’t be thrilled?

"We’re going too, our Cultivation isn’t much, but we are still a force."

"Exactly, exactly, Mu Ri brother can’t forget us, we’re on the same path."

"I’ve disliked those Half Mermaids for a long time now, Mu Ri brother must bring us along!"

"That’s right, my blade has been starving for action!"

Even those nouveau riche second-generation rich kids were excited, circling around Lin Hao especially after Louis Diobus made his stance clear.

These were the people Lin Hao kept around to guard against the petty and deceitful; they were still useful.

Otherwise, given the previous every-man-for-himself attitude of these rich kids, not throwing them into the sea was already a show of respect.

On the other hand, Poison Rose and Lan Yue Yuxue, who had just been rescued, seemed to have not yet recovered from the fear. Both stood pale and unobtrusive to one side.

"Everyone’s going, we’ll leave this sea area together!" Lin Hao’s gaze withdrew from the two women, then he turned to Lan Tianhao: "I assume you know where the lair of the Half Mermaids is. Let’s set off now, so not to alert them. As for these two friends of mine, arrange for someone to take them back to the island to rest."

"No problem." Lan Tianhao immediately began to make arrangements.

Before long, the crowd boarded again.

It was still the same Ancient Ship of the Great Ming, with everyone on board and three thousand Nagas submerged around the ship in the waters, swiftly, the Ancient Ship entered the fog of Skeleton Islands.

The scope of Skeleton Islands was unknown; according to Lan Tianhao, these numerous massive beast bones circled Death Island.

The islands were always shrouded in heavy fog year-round, fraught with danger and many forbidden areas.

Entering the islands, the world once again returned to deathly silence.

The thick clouds in the sky almost pressed down to the top of the massive skeleton, and colorful, silent lightning streaked continuously, casting the onlookers in a ghastly rainbow light.

It was that same icy desolation again, a feeling as if the ancient ship had been sailing into Hell, growing stronger and stronger.

Lan Tianhao steered the ship, with the ancient ship weaving through the sea fog and between the remains of colossal beasts.

No one spoke; they couldn’t even hear the sound of the waves.

Lin Hao watched the dreamlike world unfold, not his first time seeing this scene, yet he was still chilled by the sight.

"Ahead lies the lair of the Half Mermaid tribe."

Suddenly, Lan Tianhao pointed ahead and whispered low.

"Prepare for battle!"

Following that, Li Qi drew his weapon, warily scanning the surroundings.

On the ancient ship, the hustle of footsteps finally shattered the peace of heaven and earth, as hundreds from the Death Island tribe took up arms, as if a maneating Mermaid could burst out of the fog at any moment.

But Lin Hao and his companions stood unfazed at the bow, Concentrating, and gazing out intently at the sea ahead.

They saw the sea ahead suddenly open up, with the fog-enshrouded carcasses of titanic beasts arranged in an immense diamond shape, seemingly parting to create a space in the center.

Yet, there was nothing in the middle of the sea area but billowing fog.

No...

There was something!

A glint of cold light flashed in Lin Hao’s eyes as he saw two towering stone monoliths rise from the sea bed into the clouds!

These two stone columns jutted from the seabed and stood amidst the sea fog, like a gate between heaven and earth.

Heaven as the gate’s lintel, the sea as the threshold, the sea fog as the wall, the lightning as curtains.

In the sea mist that surged skyward between the two columns, not a trace could be seen.

Between these stone columns appeared a different realm, a world unto itself.

"Impressed? We call this the Heaven and Earth Gate; within lies the lair of the Half Mermaid tribe," Lan Tianhao, who had appeared beside Lin Hao unnoticed, gazed at the ever-nearing Heaven and Earth monoliths, his face still full of awe.

The closer they got, the more astounding the two columns appeared. When the ancient ship neared the base of the columns, looking up revealed dark stones exuding an Ancient Aura, reaching high into the sky, like two giant gods standing firm between heaven and earth.

Even Lin Hao felt incredibly insignificant.

As they approached within ten meters of the columns, the sea fog disappeared suddenly, and the water became exceptionally calm.

No waves, the sea water was crystal clear!

"Stop."

Lin Hao gestured, and Lan Tianhao quickly brought the ancient ship to a halt, everyone channeling their Primordial Qi to the extreme, vigilant of the world within the giant stones.

"Remember, the Naga cannot enter this sea region until we have obtained the Holy Artifact of the Half Mermaid tribe. From now on, we can only rely on ourselves."

Lin Hao’s words were to Lan Tianhao and Louis Diobus and their companions. Without the Naga, these people were courting death by encountering the Half Mermaids.

But no one responded; they only nodded solemnly, like soldiers facing an enemy, daring not to breathe heavily.

"Let’s go."

Lin Hao said no more, leaving behind the three thousand Naga, only one ancient ship slowly sailed through the Heaven and Earth Gate.

Passing through the columns, Lin Hao felt as if he had crossed an invisible barrier, and the scene before his eyes changed once again. Following that, everyone’s eyes widened in disbelief at everything before them!
