Chapter 40: Chapter 39: Four Seas Overlord·Ancestral Dragon—Human-Dragon Tribulation!

The writing on the Celestial Derivation Volume paused at "The great tribulation is upon us."

Ning Xunqiu was not in a hurry; similar situations had also occurred in Returning Void Heaven before.

"I’ve been at peace on Purple Bamboo Mountain for two hundred and seventy years."

"Three hundred years later, there will be a great tribulation... So if I don’t leave the East Sea in three hundred years, will I be doomed? Or will the disaster still come if I leave the East Sea?" He flipped through the Celestial Derivation Volume.

"Zizhu Demon Master wanted us to flee the East Sea before falling—is it because of the death of the Three Immortals of Jade Sky?!"

Ning Xunqiu pondered, "The Three Immortals of Jade Sky—Linglong, Liuli, Caiyun—all became enlightened as different beings... The Dragon Palace and Star Sea joined forces, dispatching twelve True Immortals to deploy the [Nine Dragon Divine Fire Array], first targeting the Three Immortals of Jade Sky."

"Did their fall immediately inaugurate the great tribulation?"

"The Three Immortals of Jade Sky joining forces could resist so many True Immortals..."

Ning Xunqiu grasped the key points.

"For at most three hundred years, one can peacefully cultivate on the East Sea Purple Bamboo Mountain."

Ning Xunqiu rubbed his brow, "It’s really frustrating..."

He quite enjoyed the days of peaceful alchemy on Purple Bamboo Mountain, exchanging treasures with loose cultivators, living in harmony.

This was the cultivation path he envisioned—with a few friends, brewing tea and discussing the Dao. Later, when Ah Qing and his younger disciple Gao Fei Xue were able to protect themselves, the three of them would venture out across the East Sea to "seek treasures."

Then continuing the secluded cultivation,

But plans can never keep up with changes...

Ning Xunqiu pondered for a while, and the writing on the Celestial Derivation Volume finally continued to emerge.

[The entire East Sea sky resounded with a tyrannical voice.]

["Four Seas Human Race, leave not a single one!"]

[Wenren Hong raised his head with anger on his face but dared not speak.]

[The voice appeared, and in everyone’s mind, his information would surface; he is the [Sovereign of the Four Seas·Ancestral Dragon], at the pinnacle of Qi Cultivator’s "Water Technique," mastering the laws of the wind and rain, creating countless beings such as the "Dragon Race," "Flood Dragon Race," "Sea Race," "Cloud Race," "Snake Race."]

[One of the initial Innate Spirits of the Qingxu Realm, the first dragon of Heaven and Earth, forged the body of the Ancestral Dragon, seven parts Water Fortune incarnation, Dao Practice of unknown height, Immortal Divine, attainment of "Great Dao of the Supreme, Great Divine Techniques User"!]

[The "Ancestral Dragon" order, unknown how many Human Race will perish at sea because of it, the vast East Sea with islands scattered like stars, an island thirty thousand miles would have a country, a country of five to six hundred million people, seemingly, Heaven and Earth feel as if an endless bloody sea is sweeping over.]

[Wenren Hong, Bailing, Panda, Big Bull, Bi Ji desire revenge for Zizhu Demon Master, but facing the colossal Dragon Race, they are all as insignificant as ants.]

[And I am just a slightly bigger ant.]

[Seven days later, Zhiyu Country’s general came seeking assistance from the Seven Immortals of Purple Bamboo Cliff Mountain; mad sea beasts relentlessly landing, Zhiyu Country is nearing extinction.]

[We two and five eccentric ones went down the mountain, within Zhiyu Country’s borders could only see blood-colored great rivers flowing slowly, frenzied sea beasts rampaging unchecked, Wenren Hong and Monkey immediately took action, slaying sea beasts.

We rushed all around rescuing the surviving Zhiyu Citizens, six hundred million population in short time, only three million remained.]

[We the Seven Immortals used our methods to construct a large ship, accompanied by the three million Human Race across the sea, within ten years, various sea beasts, Dragon Palace shrimp soldiers, Crab Generals attacked, Wenren Hong and Monkey barely coped, mentally and physically exhausted.]

[The following year, the large ship left nearing the nineteen continents·Li State.

A hundred-foot Juvenile Flood Dragon suddenly blocked the path. Monkey decisively revealed the "thirty-foot Stone Ape True Body" to fight it, while Wenren Hong used his magical artifact "Feihong Sword" to strike.

One man, one ape, one flood dragon battled fiercely for three days and nights, all severely injured.

Finally, the hundred-foot Juvenile Flood Dragon sank into the sea.

"Qingyun, Panda, let’s hurry and leave."

Monkey and Wenren Hong let out a sigh of relief, urged Ning Xunqiu and Panda, who were protecting the large ship, to quickly depart.

"The little bug is really interesting..."

Just then, the Juvenile Flood Dragon slowly emerged from the water, its wounds rapidly healed under the nourishment of the sea, as if never injured.

"This Crown Prince was just amusing you, next feel despair..."

Before finishing the words.

Monkey swiftly jumped forward, fiercely kicked the flood dragon’s head, causing a huge splash: "Despair? Do you have that capability?"

The Juvenile Flood Dragon soared into the air again, utterly furious: "This Crown Prince played very interesting, but you insignificant bugs don’t know your place!"

He roared to the sky:

"Ang—"

As this roar echoed, a light streaked across the sky, a Spirit Pearl like a meteor rapidly flew.

In an instant transformed into a woman dressed in armor, of extraordinary elegance, with a pink lotus quietly blooming on the hairpin atop her head.

Star Sea Divine Palace·Ye Qingyao.

"Ye Qingyao, kill them for this Crown Prince!!"

The Juvenile Flood Dragon roared the order, "No, injure them heavily, destroy their cultivation, I want them to witness these bugs dying one by one!!"

His gaze sharp as a sword, overlooking the Panda, Bailing, Big Bull, Bi Ji on the large ship, anger and resentment overflowing from expression:

"And you different kinds, Aquatic Race, actually betrayed Dragon Race, ally with Human Race, disrespect Ancestral Dragon, outrageous behavior—revolted! Revolted!"

"Not a single one left, kill them all!!"

"In line with Ancestral Dragon Order."

Ye Qingyao expressionless.

With a raise of hand, a Treasure Pearl was thrown.

Bang!

Bang!

Two sounds resounded.

The "Vajra Indestructible Stone Ape True Body" of the Monkey shattered on the spot, spitting blood as it flew backward. I stepped forward to catch him.

Wenren Hong was even slower to react. Fortunately, the Feihong Sword protected her in time, but with a crack, it snapped into two pieces. Panda and Bailing reached out to catch her.

"Golden Core True Cultivator?! Magical Treasure?!!" Wenren Hong’s face was pale as she looked up at Ye Qingyao, her eyes full of despair.

"If you scatter and flee, you might have a sliver of hope!" Wenren Hong knew she couldn’t escape this calamity and said to Panda, Bailing, and the others.

She stood up, summoned the broken Feihong Sword, and flew into the air, prepared to face death.

The Juvenile Flood Dragon had come all this way, hunting the fleeing Human Race, delighting in watching Qi Cultivators of the Human Race struggle desperately before revealing such looks of despair.

At this moment, he felt a thrill throughout his body:

"Hahaha, where do you think you can go?"

The Juvenile Flood Dragon stopped Ye Qingyao from intervening further, ramming Wenren Hong away, ready to continue the "cat and mouse game."

"Ye Qingyao, don’t kill her yet, first kill those Qi Cultivators below!"

"You!" Wenren Hong emerged from the waves, hearing these words, her face suddenly turned pale.

Ye Qingyao closed her eyes, wanting to end it all quickly. Her Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Splendid Celestial Wind Spirit Pearl, turned into a brilliant stream of light, striking the large ship.

Panda, Bailing, Bi Ji, and Niu Da’s pupils contracted sharply; they closed their eyes, waiting for their fate.

Magical Treasures, beyond mortal power.

Even if the "Zizhu Demon Master" were resurrected, they would die here.

At the critical moment, the Monkey shouted:

"Second Brother!!!"

"Block——"

The Spirit Pearl was rebounded by a tremendous force.

Silence fell over the heavens and earth.

Ye Qingyao, holding the Spirit Pearl, looked solemnly at the man below holding the "Glazed Long Spear."

Panda, Bailing, Bi Ji, and Niu Da waited for a long time, sensing something amiss, opened their eyes, and followed Ye Qingyao’s gaze.

They saw a green figure proudly standing, his "Crimson Glazed Long Spear" opposing Ye Qingyao’s Splendid Celestial Wind Spirit Pearl.

"Second Brother?!"

Panda stammered, his eyes widening almost in disbelief.

He actually knew Second Brother Qingyun knew a bit about the "Guardian Skill," but didn’t know it was this exaggerated.

"How... how is this possible? That’s a Magical Treasure!?" Bi Ji and Niu Da were equally shocked. Second Brother Qingyun enjoyed alchemy, had a peaceful nature, and clearly was not skilled in Magical Combat.

Bailing opened her mouth wide, unable to speak for half a day. Among the seven, only she and Second Brother Qingyun didn’t practice Guardian Skills.

She was obsessed with Escape Techniques, and Second Brother was obsessed with alchemy; ranking top three in Dao Practice was no issue.

But in terms of Magical Power, Magic Arts, she always thought the two of them were the weakest. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"Sigh——"

A soft sigh echoed through the heavens and earth.

The green figure raised his spear, passed over the crowd, and slowly rose, the Power of the Heart and Mind spreading, a massive shadow covering the eight hundred-zhang firmament.

He was the ruler beneath this firmament, existing like a "god!"

Sword Demon Heart Eye - Undying Divine Intent!

Ye Qingyao felt a piercing chill, her body involuntarily trembling slightly. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, trying to calm the storm in her heart, her voice tinged with a slight tremor:

"Fellow Daoist, all this is a misunderstanding..."

"Boom!!!"

As she spoke, a rainbow light shot skyward, penetrating Ye Qingyao’s body with a speed that defied the ear’s reach, flames rising fiercely, mercilessly devouring her body.

Intention severing Primordial Spirit, fire burning Flesh Body.

Ning Xunqiu’s "Undying Heart Spirit" tightly grasped the "Splendid Celestial Wind Spirit Pearl," watching Ye Qingyao, whose Primordial Spirit was annihilated, gradually turn to ashes, and he spoke calmly:

"Fellow Daoist, there is no misunderstanding between us now."

The Juvenile Flood Dragon turned his head in terror, his voice trembling: "You, you, you can’t kill me... my father is the Third Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace... he is a True Immortal! He is the Linyuan Water Mansion Dragon Monarch!"

"If you dare to kill me, you won’t be able to leave the East Sea alive..."

"Don’t be afraid... I never bully the weak."

Ning Xunqiu’s voice remained gentle.

Whew.

Just at the moment the Juvenile Flood Dragon’s Heart and Mind relaxed——

"Boom!!"

With a loud bang, a rainbow light even brighter than before directly pierced through the Juvenile Flood Dragon’s body.

Ning Xunqiu coldly watched the Juvenile Flood Dragon’s Primordial Spirit vanish in the blazing flames, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"I thought your father, who is so endowed with Divine Techniques, would leave you some means to save your life..."

Truly...

Gave me a scare.
