Chapter 1133: One Yuan Avatar

Chapter 1

A bell chimed, and the thousands of crashing waves the old dragon controlled, similar to the million flowing-water swords of the Seafixing Sword just moments before, instantly dispersed as they reached the skies above Dongyi.

"Primordial Bell!"

Above the Profound Sea, the old dragon gazed at the grayish-white stone bell above Chen Mobai's head. He felt the power of the four seas, which he had previously commanded entirely, suddenly begin to slip from his grasp, and his golden pupils narrowed slightly. Although he had long heard of this supreme treasure from the One-Yuan Dao Palace, known for suppressing all Five Elements powers in the world, this was his first true confrontation with it.

Nevertheless, the old dragon remained confident. This was his territory. Moreover, the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl was invincible!

With this thought, the coldness in his eyes intensified. The pearl above his head suddenly erupted with vast, deep blue radiance, as the endless power from the vast ocean began continuously converging towards the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl.

"You cannot stop me. Dongyi is destined to be submerged by me, to become shallow beaches where my kin can play."

"This world was originally nothing but a vast ocean. Were it not for the Water Mother's compassion, the Five Continents would never have risen. The entire world would have been our race's playground."

"Now, I will gradually transform this world back to its most primordial state."

After the old dragon finished speaking, the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl pulsed with light, and the boundless Profound Sea began to rise, transforming into continuous, colossal waves. These waves completely covered its enormous, elongated body and, with a violent roar, surged towards the land of Dongyi, threatening to engulf it.

Clang, clang, clang!

Facing such an opponent, Chen Mobai immediately activated the Primordial Bell's power to the utmost extent he could control. The Primordial Pearl had already flown from his chest, landing atop the Primordial Bell and becoming its handle. Invisible ripples, accompanied by the bell's chimes, struck out towards the surging ten thousand layers of waves.

The two great sixth-tier magic treasures, as both individuals poured all their strength into them, began their first true confrontation.

With a hum!

The moment the vast ocean crashed into the sky above Dongyi Continent, it was as if it had struck an impenetrable fortress, breaking apart into a sky full of spray and currents.

This was merely the first layer of waves. The Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl above the old dragon's head seemed to have gained control of the entire Profound Sea at that moment, concentrating all the water from this entire sea region. The sky lost all light at this moment, as the radiance from the sun, moon, and stars beyond the heavens was completely obscured by the endless waves surging skyward. Amidst colossal roars, the second, third, and hundreds of layers of waves continuously crashed into the skies above Dongyi.

The Primordial Bell chimed repeatedly, but the water's dispersion became increasingly slow. Gradually, most of Jinwu Immortal City was submerged, and the water continued to spread inland.

The Ten Thousand Swords Avatar stood behind Chen Mobai, serving as a second line of defense, continuously activating the power of the Seafixing Sword and deploying it onto the populated coastal lands. It stabilized the surging incoming water, dissipating it into the surroundings.

Meanwhile, under Zhou Ye's command, the Five Elements Sect piloted flying boats, heading towards the area where the Ten Thousand Swords Avatar's sword stars shone brightly, to rescue as many humans as possible back to the Five Elements Sect's territory.

The Sky Curtain Earth Web Grand Array was activated at this moment. This colossal formation transformed into an invisible wall at the border, impenetrable to terrifying waves, sharp wind blades, or intense lightning bolts. Inside and outside the grand array were like two different worlds. Outside, life was in turmoil and suffering, while inside, it was warm as spring and calm.

The old dragon naturally noticed this, but at this moment, he could not afford to care, because the power Chen Mobai displayed was far greater than he had imagined. He had thought that by leveraging the geographical advantage of the Profound Sea and controlling boundless waves with the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl, he could surely suppress, or even kill, this terrifying young man, Chen Mobai. But who knew, facing the colossal waves generated by him pouring out half the Profound Sea's water, Chen Mobai had actually withstood most of the assault.

Although the Profound Sea's water was gradually eroding the coastal lands of Dongyi, this was completely out of sync with the old dragon's projected progress. His power must be dispersed, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

Thinking this, cold light flashed in the old dragon's eyes. He decided to first go all out and suppress this young Deity Transformation cultivator from Dongzhou, before considering the matter of submerging Dongyi.

With a dragon's roar, amplified by the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl, the old dragon struck away the Primordial Yang Sword wielded by the second avatar. Then, his innate sonic ability, dancing with the Profound Sea, transformed into invisible shockwaves that pounded onto the Primordial Bell, aiming to disrupt the artifact's chiming rhythm.

Chen Mobai's true body trembled slightly, his qi, blood, divine sense, and true essence all showing a tendency to become uncontrollable. However, his main body's Azure Bird nascent soul flew out, and the light of the Pure Yang Grand Dao shone down, immediately solidifying his essence, qi, and spirit. After that, no matter what kind of dragon roar, it could no longer shake Chen Mobai, protected by his Azure Bird main body.

Seeing that his innate ability was ineffective, the old dragon utilized the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl to concentrate the Profound Sea's water, transforming thousands of colossal waves into ten thousand water dragons. These dragons all chanted and roared the "Nine Heavens Dragon's Roar" in unison.

Ten thousand layers of colossal waves, ten thousand water dragons, ten thousand dragon roars!

Resounding at the border between Dongyi and the Profound Sea, Jinwu Immortal City, unprotected by the Sun God Tree and the grand array, actually shattered directly under the old dragon's terrifying bloodline innate ability attack. Accompanied by the mournful cries of the earth, this immortal city, which had protected Dongyi for ten thousand years, was completely melted into mud and sand by the seawater. Even the coastal lands underwent a chain reaction at the same time, continuously shattering and merging with the colossal waves, becoming utterly murky.

Chen Mobai's body bore the brunt of the attack. If not for the protection of the Pure Yang Grand Dao and the Primordial Bell enduring most of the impact, he would likely have been shattered by the old dragon's move in an instant.

Under these circumstances, Chen Mobai, however, entered an inexplicable state. The "Cunshu," which had not improved for a long time, suddenly became incredibly active at this moment. Colors he normally couldn't see appeared in his eyes, seemingly the endless, intertwined Three Thousand Great Daos of heaven and earth.

And now, the Daos represented by blue all around him were dazzling to the extreme, obscuring the light of all other Daos. Within this ocean-like blue, the colorful radiance representing Chen Mobai was like a great sun. Though not large, it continuously absorbed threads of Dao power from its surroundings that corresponded to itself, supplementing and strengthening him.

The Primordial Dao Fruit, which had long been refined but always had some lingering impediments, at this moment began to increasingly resonate with Chen Mobai. Within the Dao Fruit, all that True Monarch One-Yuan, an ascended cultivator, had left behind—the various methods for utilizing the One-Yuan Dao Scripture and Primordial True Qi, the profound mysteries of the Grand Dao, and even the One-Yuan Dao Body—all emerged one by one at this moment, merging into Chen Mobai's nascent soul. It seemed that the powerful external opponent, the old dragon, had fully activated the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Hum, hum, hum…

The Primordial Bell seemed to sense this as well, and actively unleashed even greater power. The ten thousand water dragons, which he originally couldn't control or dispel, as they approached Chen Mobai's body, were illuminated by an overwhelming five-colored radiance, transforming into a torrential downpour that fell onto the submerged ruins of Jinwu Immortal City.

A bell chime, even deeper and more profound than before, resounded. The Primordial Bell, which had originally been suppressed by the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl, suddenly broke free from its restraints and, in turn, suppressed the radiance of the pearl above the old dragon's head.

"Oh!"

The old dragon was somewhat surprised and bewildered. He immediately activated the power of his bloodline true spirit and spun the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl. The Primordial Bell's five-colored radiance instantly vanished. After all, there was a grade difference between the two magic artifacts. The Primordial Bell, with the Primordial Pearl and the Primordial Dao Fruit's blessing, coupled with its attribute suppression, was only barely able to contend.

The old dragon evidently also realized this. He once again activated the Deep-Abyss Seafixing Pearl, evolving an even more terrifying bloodline innate ability. Water dragons rose from the surface of the sea, opening their mouths to unleash mighty sonic waves. Streaks of frost condensed into endless wind blades, transforming the water dragons into ice dragons, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rumbling thunder. And the center of all this was the pearl above the old dragon's head!

Facing an attack clearly more terrifying than before, Chen Mobai simply unleashed the Primordial Dao Fruit directly. In the current state of the Cunshu, he could perceive the various Dao powers undulating between heaven and earth, among which the Five Elements Grand Dao was naturally the most abundant. After completely refining the Primordial Dao Fruit, Chen Mobai's comprehension of the One-Yuan Dao Scripture had reached the perfected Deity Transformation stage. The enhancement of the Cunshu further enabled his application of the One-Yuan Dao Scripture to reach the same realm.

As his divine sense flowed, the Primordial Pearl activated the Primordial Bell, continuously channeling the Five Elements Grand Dao power from heaven and earth towards the Primordial Dao Fruit. Gradually, the Dao Fruit began to expand and transform. Under a burst of five-colored radiance, it spanned across the heavens and the vast ocean.

A colossal statue a thousand meters tall, clad in five-colored Daoist robes, with a solemn expression, stepped out from the five-colored radiance, standing upon the great sea. This was the most powerful hidden strength of the Primordial Dao Fruit: the One-Yuan Avatar. This was left by True Monarch One-Yuan as a foundation to guard his legacy. If a later disciple's cultivation was sufficient, they could enable this external avatar to erupt with peak fifth-tier power, equivalent to the perfected Deity Transformation stage. According to True Monarch One-Yuan's realm, it wasn't that more couldn't be achieved, but doing so would exceed the limits of the Heavenly River Realm and lead directly to ascension.

To activate the One-Yuan Dao Body, Primordial True Qi was required as its source. For a Nascent Soul cultivator, even with the Primordial Dao Fruit's blessing, they would likely be drained dry within a few moves. But for a Deity Transformation cultivator, it could be sustained for a long time. Because after cultivating the Primordial Pearl, as long as one's divine sense could hold out and with the help of the Primordial Bell, one could continuously refine the void into Five Elements spiritual energy and condense Primordial True Qi.

Chen Mobai, moreover, was unique. He felt himself now immersed in the Five Elements Grand Dao; with every thought, the Five Elements Grand Dao accompanied him, evolving primordial chaos. He could fight the old dragon until the end of time without exhaustion.

Thinking this, he controlled the One-Yuan Avatar to raise its hand, lifting the Primordial Bell into its palm, and gave it a gentle shake. Amidst the clear and melodious chime of the bell, the old dragon's boundless celestial phenomena, unleashed with all his might, were instantly dissipated by the five-colored radiance.

Suddenly, the sea became calm, and the wind ceased to blow. The world was filled with gentle breezes and clear skies!
