I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2522 - 1133: Earth-Shattering (Part 2)
Previously on I Have A Cultivation World...
Even such formidable might would likely leave him gravely wounded if he were caught in its epicenter; at best, he could resort to hidden arts to desperately escape with his life.
Simultaneously, two streams of Spiritual Light shot out from deep inside Bright Mirror Immortal City at the distant back of Eastern Yi, reaching Da Kong True Monarch's location in just a handful of breaths.
The Escaping Light streaked through, unveiling two more Deity Transformations belonging to the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao.
Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi.
Yet these two had barely stepped into Deity Transformation not long ago, and seeing the unfolding events, their faces displayed even deeper shock compared to Da Kong True Monarch.
"Sect Master Chen’s strength is truly terrifying!"
For the first time, Shenxi laid eyes on Chen Mobai’s prowess after reaching Deity Transformation, watching him positioned over the sea, repelling the ancient Flood Dragon adorned with the Sea Suppressing Bead from coming onto land; he felt completely overwhelmed.
In this form, the Flood Dragon stood as a supreme force within the Tianhe Realm, commanding infinite Mana across the Mysterious Sea—even the former Yuan Qingque would have backed away repeatedly before it.
Nevertheless, Chen Mobai was holding the Flood Dragon at bay in a direct clash right in the heart of the Mysterious Sea.
The three observers understood that the Flood Dragon’s dominance stemmed entirely from its home turf advantage; should it venture beyond the Mysterious Sea, the Sea Suppressing Bead alone wouldn’t make things simple for it.
After all, a peak Deity Transformation Yi Yuan Avatar paired with the Primordial Clock offered extreme suppression against Five Elements attributes.
Without the superior quality of the Sea Suppressing Bead, it could well have been subdued by the Primordial Clock from the very start.
"Let’s strike together; we must drive back the Flood Dragon. If it is allowed to rampage like this, the land of the Eastern Continent may suffer further loss."
Da Kong True Monarch directed, and both Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi gave their assent with nods.
With three Escaping Lights shimmering, the group had already touched down next to Chen Mobai.
"Little friend, we are late."
Da Kong True Monarch uttered with a sense of remorse on his face, though Chen Mobai simply shook his head lightly, feeling a quiet sense of ease inside.
The Primordial Clock’s quality fell short; during the prior clash with the Sea Suppressing Bead, its Artifact Spirit had issued an alert, warning it could withstand no more than three additional impacts.
Meanwhile, the ancient Flood Dragon coiled above the Mysterious Sea, its True Spirit aura seemingly inexhaustible and even intensifying.
Had Da Kong True Monarch and the others not shown up, once the Five Elements Sect evacuated the Eastern Yi Coast's inhabitants under the guard of the Myriad Sword Dharma Body Sword Star, Chen Mobai would have pulled back to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation as well, using the landscape to battle the Flood Dragon.
"A few youngsters coming won’t change the battle’s circumstances."
Upon spotting Da Kong True Monarch’s group, the ancient Flood Dragon’s demeanor stayed unmoved. As the Tianhe Realm’s most ancient surviving True Spirit, it was fully justified in calling the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao’s Deity Transformations mere youngsters.
"You depraved dragon, after today, your Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court will be the greatest enemy of our Eastern Continent Righteous Dao. It seems you’ve prepared to follow the Golden Lion Royal Court’s downfall."
Ni Yuanzhong declared coldly, as a vision of the Tongtian Refining Road Tower surfaced in his gaze, projecting a force that stirred unease in even the Flood Dragon’s True Spirit Bloodline.
"Golden Lion Royal Court is nothing and doesn’t deserve to be mentioned alongside my Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court. My Mysterious Sea is boundless and will one day entirely swallow your Eastern Continent."
With a scornful huff, the Flood Dragon scanned its surroundings. The Sea Suppressing Bead, now released from the Primordial Clock’s hold, floated back above its crown.
"If you want to engulf Eastern Continent, then we shall intervene to fill up the Mysterious Sea. At that time, regardless of the Sea Suppressing Bead in your possession, your path will only lead to death."
Shenxi stated, releasing a Spirit Talisman radiant with Immortal Light from his sleeve, which carried a dense aura of peril that even made Chen Mobai wary.
Is this a Sixth Rank Spirit Talisman?!
But that wasn’t everything; a rectangular bronze cauldron emerged from Shenxi’s Storage Bag, its three legs shaped like True Dragons, and its handles also portraying True Dragons with heads lifted high.
With one look, Chen Mobai identified the six dragon motifs of the Yi Yuan Avatar drawn from the Eastern Emperor Court’s Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture.
"The Dragon Capturing Tripod?! Indeed in your Dao Morale Sect’s hands, you hypocrites!"
For the first time, the ancient Flood Dragon’s expression shifted at the sight of the cauldron, and it spat curses at Shenxi.
Even Da Kong True Monarch and Ni Yuanzhong showed faint odd looks on their faces.
During the Eastern Emperor Court’s dissolution, the Dragon Capturing Tripod, as a pinnacle heirloom treasure, naturally attracted the Holy Lands’ attention. Multiple Deity Transformations had stepped in, but proved powerless against the enigmatic True Dragon, and could only witness helplessly as the Dragon Capturing Tripod vanished.
"Merely an imitation, a Dan Cauldron the Empress of Eastern Emperor Court constructed from Five Continents and Four Seas’ Heavenly And Earthly Treasures for refining the Immortality Pill."
Shenxi’s tone remained steady as he explained the origins of the Sixth Rank Dan Cauldron.
In the Eastern Emperor Court’s prime, Dao Morale Sect’s line of Deity Transformations had acted as imperial Alchemists. This Dan Cauldron was crafted specifically for their purposes.
And following the Eastern Emperor Court’s collapse, the cauldron rightfully passed to Dao Morale Sect.
Upon realizing it wasn’t the actual Dragon Capturing Tripod, the ancient Flood Dragon immediately lost its sense of danger.
With another cold snort, it assessed the field again, invoking the Sea Suppressing Bead’s might to summon the vast Mysterious Sea waters around itself, readying to retreat.
Although its Mana flowed without end over the Mysterious Sea, shielded by the Sixth Rank Peak Treasure Bead for near-invulnerability, its Divine Sense and vitality remained limited.
In the end, it wasn’t in its youth anymore, unlike the opponents who stood at their peak.
Besides, be it the Primordial Clock, the Tongtian Refining Road Tower, or Shenxi’s Sixth Rank Spirit Talisman, each one aimed straight at its Sixth Rank strength. One misstep could truly spell doom for the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
It was wiser to preserve strength for slow erosion over time.
These four Deity Transformations couldn’t linger in Eastern Yi forever, after all.
With the binding Sun God Tree now absent, the Eastern Yi Coast lay exposed; it could enter and exit freely whenever it pleased.
There was no hurry.
Still, a final taunt was called for.
"From now on, your Eastern Continent shall live under constant fear, as I wield the Mysterious Sea’s force to gradually drown the lands your ancestors lived on."
At the ancient Flood Dragon’s declaration, Ni Yuanzhong let out a cold snort first, the Tongtian Refining Road Tower in his eyes materializing fully, unleashing a Mysterious Nether Immortal Light infused with the potency to bind all True Spirits, enveloping the enormous black-scaled golden-eyed Flood Dragon.
However, the Sea Suppressing Bead rotated, its azure glow already intercepting the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light.
Da Kong True Monarch’s eyebrows knit together briefly, the gold and silver rings in his grasp gleaming as the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light, almost nullified by the azure radiance, dissolved into the void and surprisingly bypassed the Sea Suppressing Bead’s barrier, striking the Flood Dragon’s neck.
"You bastards from the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace always know how to ambush!"
Sensing the tightening around its neck, its True Spirit Bloodline apparently locked down, the Flood Dragon roared in fury, parting its jaws to engulf the Sea Suppressing Bead.
Azure light exploded from its maw, swiftly cloaking its entire form and purging the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light from the Tongtian Refining Road Tower.
By now, Shenxi gripped the Sixth Rank Dan Cauldron, slamming it forcefully against the Flood Dragon’s backbone.
Da Kong True Monarch radiated silver luminescence, channeling every ounce of power into the Void Lock.
Just as the veteran Flood Dragon prepared to counter, it abruptly froze above the waves.
A muffled snap echoed, as scores of dark scales cracked under the Dan Cauldron’s impact. Yet underneath, the Flood Dragon’s body had long been shielded by the Sea Suppressing Bead, so the cauldron merely arched its spine, forcing it downward into the depths and stirring colossal swells.
Then, akin to a bowstring released from utmost strain, the Flood Dragon’s sinuous frame snapped back with a jerk, hurling the cauldron into the skies.
But in that instant, threads of prismatic light danced across the Flood Dragon’s scales, ripping open a gash at the prior strike point, shedding over a thousand ebony scales along with a hefty slab of hide.
