Chapter 1134: Earth-shattering

The One Yuan Avatar, at the peak of the God Transformation stage, could already unleash half the power of the Six-Tier artifact, the Primordial Bell, by activating it. With such might, it truly lived up to its reputation for suppressing all five elements in the world.

However, the old Flood Dragon's Sea Stabilizing Pearl was of an even higher grade, and its true spirit bloodline, like Chen Mobai's, could also unleash the full power of a Six-Tier supreme treasure. With a roar, it activated the pearl atop its head once more. Endless colossal waves surged behind it, transforming into myriad water dragons that roared and spat out frost-blade lightning, as if intent on utterly annihilating the land, engulfing Chen Mobai and the One Yuan Avatar.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The One Yuan Avatar, gripping the Primordial Bell, shook it again. The bell's chimes grew deep and resonant, and five-colored ripples spread outwards, like disturbances in the void, colliding with the surging, boundless waves and the roars of ten thousand dragons.

Boom!

Amidst an earth-shattering roar, the entire coastal land of Dongyi began to crumble under the aftershocks of the two Six-Tier artifacts' collision. Cracks continuously appeared, and endless cold seawater poured through these fissures, dissolving the earth and sweeping away rocks. Moreover, this powerful aftershock had just begun to spread, and soon more land started to disintegrate, swallowed by the sea. It continued to expand until it reached the borders of the Five Elements Sect, where it was finally halted by the Sky-Veil Earth-Net Grand Array, but it quickly spread in all directions.

In Dongling Immortal City, True Monarch Wuchen, who had just entered seclusion after consuming the Three Profound Jade Dragon Pill, was suddenly awakened by an anomaly from the Celestial-Terrestrial Armillary Sphere. He opened his eyes and looked at the sect's guardian artifact, his face filled with shock. This was because on the Celestial-Terrestrial Armillary Sphere, the section representing the land of Dongzhou suddenly showed some of its coastal borders, where it met the sea, having vanished. This seemingly small section represented a territory of at least ten thousand li. He immediately communed with the artifact and swiftly learned the cause. True Monarch Wuchen hesitated repeatedly but ultimately felt that breaking through his bottleneck was more important. Nevertheless, he sent messages to the other God Transformation cultivators in Dongzhou, requesting their assistance in Dongyi.

On the battlefield, however, Chen Mobai and the old Flood Dragon were already fighting with true ferocity. Both man and dragon had unleashed their most powerful arts and divine abilities, and with the augmentation of two Six-Tier supreme treasures, their combined might could be described as the pinnacle of power in this realm. The changes in celestial phenomena were beyond mention; even the very void began to warp. Such an anomaly only occurred when the powers of the Great Dao clashed.

The old Flood Dragon coiled above the turbulent Profound Sea, with the Sea Stabilizing Pearl above its head. Its magical power was inexhaustible, and it continuously unleashed various powerful divine abilities imprinted within its bloodline, resembling black true dragons roaring, intent on tearing the land of Dongzhou apart and completely submerging it. Yet, facing such a terrifying offensive, Chen Mobai remained calm, his eyes shining golden. Under the influence of the Inch-Square Scroll, he perfectly commanded the One Yuan Avatar, which was at the peak of the God Transformation stage.

The Primordial Bell continuously vibrated, refining the void into spiritual energy, drawing upon the true power of the Five Elements Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and manifesting the most powerful spell recorded in the One Yuan Dao Scripture: the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Ray.

Looking around, the heavens and earth were filled with colorful light rays, as if weaving a five-colored net at the former boundary between the Profound Sea and Dongyi. No matter how much Profound Sea water the old Flood Dragon controlled or what divine abilities it unleashed, as long as they landed on this net, they would all dissipate, turning into ordinary currents and rejoining the sea below. This net woven from five-colored divine light rays was like an insurmountable chasm. Not only the old Flood Dragon, but even creatures hidden within the seawater, upon contact, would be instantly cut apart and transformed into the purest five-element spiritual energy, replenishing the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Ray.

After launching hundreds of divine abilities, all failing to breach the divine light ray, the old Flood Dragon was utterly enraged. It simply activated the Sea Stabilizing Pearl atop its head, sweeping up a vast, overwhelming expanse of the boundless ocean, as if flipping the Profound Sea into the sky, then crashing it down upon Chen Mobai and the One Yuan Avatar standing at the Dongyi border.

First, there was a moment of silence between heaven and earth, followed by a thunderous crash! The Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Ray instantly erupted with unprecedented brilliant light, managing to withstand the Sea Stabilizing Pearl for a single breath's time. However, it eventually cracked open under the overwhelming might of the true spirit. A brilliant azure light pierced through the five-colored net, which was like an unyielding chasm, and descended upon the thousand-meter-tall One Yuan Avatar's head, as if the sky had a gaping hole, unleashing an endless torrent of the Profound Sea.

Chen Mobai's expression subtly grew solemn. The Primordial Bell, without his command, automatically flew up, spinning continuously with a buzzing vibration. It gathered all the controllable true power of the Five Elements Great Dao from the surroundings, even absorbing and devouring the dissipating Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Ray, extracting all its power. It was like a colorful top colliding with the descending Sea Stabilizing Pearl.

Boom!

The remaining coastal lands of Dongyi, which had been struggling to hold on, completely disintegrated in the aftershocks of this artifact collision. Apart from the nine landmasses and their inhabitants protected by the Sword Star of the Myriad Swords Dharma Body, all coastal land in Dongyi not within the Sky-Veil Earth-Net Grand Array completely vanished, swallowed by the sea.

A silver light flickered, and True Monarch Dakong stepped out from the void. He had been exploring within the Dragon Abyss Cave. Upon receiving True Monarch Wuchen's message, he immediately rushed over using a void secret art, arriving just in time to witness this earth-shattering scene, and his expression drastically changed. Such power, even if he were at its very center, would likely spell doom; at best, he could escape with a secret art.

At the same time, two God Transformation spiritual lights ignited in Mingjing Immortal City, far behind Dongyi, and within a few breaths, flew to True Monarch Dakong's side. The escape lights flashed, revealing the other two God Transformation cultivators of Dongzhou's righteous path: Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi. However, as they had only recently achieved God Transformation a few years prior, their expressions were even more shocked than True Monarch Dakong's upon seeing the situation.

"Sect Master Chen's power is truly terrifying!" Shenxi exclaimed. It was his first time witnessing Chen Mobai's actions after his God Transformation. Seeing him stand firm above the sea, blocking the old Flood Dragon, who commanded the boundless Profound Sea with the Sea Stabilizing Pearl above its head, preventing it from setting foot on land, filled his eyes with immense awe and shock. The old Flood Dragon in this state was already one of the peak powerhouses in the Heavenly River Realm. Above the Profound Sea, its magical power was boundless; even Yuan Qingque, in his prime, would likely have to retreat three paces. Yet, Chen Mobai was suppressing it within the Profound Sea in a head-on confrontation.

All three present had discerned that the old Flood Dragon's formidable might was solely due to its geographical advantage. If it were to leave the Profound Sea and step onto land, even with the Sea Stabilizing Pearl above its head, it likely wouldn't fare well. After all, the One Yuan Avatar at the peak of God Transformation, combined with the Primordial Bell, was simply too strong against the five elements. It was only because the Sea Stabilizing Pearl was of a high grade; otherwise, it would probably have been suppressed by the Primordial Bell in a single encounter.

"Let's attack together. We must repel the old Flood Dragon. If we let it continue this rampage, Dongzhou will likely lose another piece of land," True Monarch Dakong commanded. Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi both nodded. With three flashes of escape light, the three had already landed beside Chen Mobai.

"Young friend, we arrived late," True Monarch Dakong said with a look of shame. Chen Mobai, however, gently shook his head, a slight sigh of relief in his heart. The Primordial Bell's lower grade meant that during its recent collision with the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, its artifact spirit had sent a warning, indicating it could only withstand three more impacts at most before failing. On the other hand, the old Flood Dragon, circling above the Profound Sea, showed no sign of its true spirit aura diminishing; it was even growing stronger. If True Monarch Dakong and the others hadn't arrived, once the Five Elements Sect had rescued the coastal creatures of Dongyi protected by the Sword Star of the Myriad Swords Dharma Body, he would have had to retreat into the Sky-Veil Earth-Net Grand Array and rely on geographical advantage to confront the old Flood Dragon.

"A few children have arrived, but they won't change the course of the battle," the old Flood Dragon said, its expression unchanged upon seeing the three True Monarchs. As the oldest existing true spirit in the Heavenly River Realm, it indeed had the right to call Dongzhou's righteous God Transformation cultivators "children."

"Old lecherous dragon, from today onward, your Black Flood Dragon Royal Court will be the greatest enemy of our Dongzhou righteous path. It seems you're ready to follow in the footsteps of the Golden Lion Royal Court," Ni Yuanzhong said, his tone icy. The illusory image of the Heavenly Dao Refining Pagoda appeared in Ni Yuanzhong's eyes, and a power that made even the old Flood Dragon's true spirit bloodline uncomfortable spread through the air.

"What is the Golden Lion Royal Court? Does it even deserve to be mentioned alongside my Black Flood Dragon Royal Court? My Profound Sea is boundless; one day, I will completely submerge your Dongzhou." As the old Flood Dragon spoke, its eyes deepened, and the Sea Stabilizing Pearl had already broken free from the Primordial Bell's restraint, returning to rest upon its head.

"If you intend to submerge Dongzhou, we will also act and fill the Profound Sea. By then, even with the Sea Stabilizing Pearl in hand, it will be a dead end for you," Shenxi said. A talisman shimmering with pure spiritual immortal light flew out from his sleeve. A profound aura, so potent it seemed to solidify all things, emanated from it, making even Chen Mobai feel threatened.

*Is this a Six-Tier spirit talisman?!*

But that wasn't all. A square bronze cauldron flew out from Shenxi's storage bag. Each of its legs seemed to be transformed from a true dragon, and its two handles also depicted true dragons with open mouths and raised heads. Chen Mobai recognized at a glance that the six dragon forms, comprising the four legs and two handles, were precisely the six great true dragons from the Eastern Earth Imperial Court's Six Dragons Imperial Heaven Scripture.

"Dragon Capturing Cauldron?! It's actually in your Dao Virtue Sect's possession! As expected, you hypocrites!" Seeing this cauldron, the old Flood Dragon's face changed for the first time, and it immediately began to curse at Shenxi. Even True Monarch Dakong and Ni Yuanzhong had slightly strange expressions. When the Eastern Earth Imperial Court disintegrated, the Dragon Capturing Cauldron, as a treasured inheritance, naturally became an object of concern for the Sacred Lands. Several God Transformation cultivators had once intervened, engaging with a mysterious true dragon, but were unable to stop it and could only watch as the Dragon Capturing Cauldron was taken away.

"It's merely a replica," Shenxi said, his expression unchanged, revealing the origin of this Six-Tier alchemical cauldron. "This was an alchemical dragon cauldron forged by the empress of the Eastern Earth Imperial Court back then, who gathered rare materials from all five continents and four seas to refine the Immortality Pill." During the Eastern Earth Imperial Court's heyday, successive God Transformation cultivators of the Dao Virtue Sect were the imperial family's exclusive alchemists. This cauldron was for their use. And after the Eastern Earth Imperial Court ceased to exist, this cauldron naturally belonged to their Dao Virtue Sect.

Hearing that it wasn't the Dragon Capturing Cauldron, the old Flood Dragon immediately lost its fear. It snorted coldly, scrutinized it again, then activated the Sea Stabilizing Pearl's power, wrapping itself in the boundless Profound Sea, preparing to retreat. Although its magical power was inexhaustible and it had the protection of a peak Six-Tier pearl while above the Profound Sea, making it invincible, its spiritual consciousness and energy were limited. After all, it was quite old, while those before it were essentially in their prime. Furthermore, whether it was the Primordial Bell, the Heavenly Dao Refining Pagoda, or even the Six-Tier spirit talisman above Shenxi's head, all were targeting its Six-Tier power. If it were to accidentally falter, the Black Flood Dragon Royal Court might genuinely cease to exist. It was better to leave it for later, when an opportunity arose, to gradually wear them down. After all, these four God Transformation cultivators couldn't possibly remain in Dongyi forever. Now, without the Sun Divine Tree, which countered its elemental attributes, the Dongyi coast was undefended for it. It could come and go as it pleased. There was no need to rush.

"Of course, pleasantries still needed to be exchanged. "From now on, your Dongzhou will live in fear day and night. I will wield the power of the Profound Sea and slowly submerge the lands where your ancestors have lived for generations."

Hearing the old Flood Dragon's words, Ni Yuanzhong let out a cold snort. The Heavenly Dao Refining Pagoda in his eyes suddenly seemed to materialize, erupting with a profound ethereal immortal light. This light, carrying the power to restrain all true spirits in the world, covered the colossal black-scaled, golden-eyed flood dragon circling above the sea. However, with a turn of the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, its brilliant azure light had already blocked the profound ethereal immortal light.

True Monarch Dakong raised an eyebrow, and the golden and silver twin rings in his hand shimmered. The profound ethereal immortal light, which was on the verge of being dissolved by the brilliant azure light, suddenly vanished from its spot. Then, it instantly teleported through the Sea Stabilizing Pearl's defenses and landed on the old Flood Dragon's neck.

"Damn it, you bastards from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace only know how to launch sneak attacks!" The old Flood Dragon felt its neck tighten, and its true spirit bloodline seemed on the verge of becoming unusable. It cursed in fury, then directly opened its mouth and swallowed the Sea Stabilizing Pearl. A brilliant azure light shone from its mouth, instantly spreading throughout its entire body, dispelling the Heavenly Dao Refining Pagoda's profound ethereal immortal light.

At this moment, Shenxi, controlling the Six-Tier alchemical cauldron, heavily smashed it onto the old Flood Dragon's back. True Monarch Dakong shimmered with silver light all over, having already exerted his full strength to activate the Void Lock. The old Flood Dragon, which was just about to retaliate, suddenly stiffened on the sea surface.

With a dull crunch, dozens of black scales shattered under the cauldron's mighty impact. However, beneath the scales, the old Flood Dragon's flesh had already been protected by the Sea Stabilizing Pearl, so the cauldron only bent the old Flood Dragon's spine, sending it crashing into the sea and raising massive waves. Immediately after, the old Flood Dragon's slender body, like a bowstring drawn to its limit, suddenly recoiled, sending the alchemical cauldron flying into the sky. But at this moment, streaks of five-colored light flickered in the gaps of the old Flood Dragon's scales. Then, where its back had been struck open by the cauldron, it was as if a sudden gash had appeared, and thousands of black scales, along with a thick layer of skin, were peeled away.
