Chapter 1143: Collecting the Flood Dragon into the Dharma Realm

The thick dragon tail, like a thunderclap across the sky, raised an endless roar but struck nothing, falling onto the Dark Sea and stirring up immense waves.

The old Flood Dragon’s body, dark with flecks of golden light, emerged from the sea, embraced by the ocean. Above its majestic head, a sky-blue treasure pearl hovered, its brilliant golden pupils gazing at Chen Mobai, who had, at some point, moved to the shoulder of the One-Yuan Avatar.

“Where are the other juniors? Come out, all of you. It just so happens I can deal with all of you today.”

The old Flood Dragon believed Chen Mobai alone could never be its match. Thus, it was certain the True Path Soul Transformation cultivators from the East Continent had come as a group, perhaps even all five.

“To deal with you, I alone am enough.”

Chen Mobai, however, said this with a smile. As his divine sense circulated, multi-colored lightning flashed within the dark clouds in the sky, descending towards the Dark Sea, as if unleashing the Primordial Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder.

“Hmph, so Dàkōng used his Void Secret Arts to hide them, did he? Then I’ll kill you first, and slowly deal with the others afterward.”

The old Flood Dragon, however, didn’t believe it one bit. It activated the power of the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl to protect its entire body, disregarding any sneak attack methods the East Continent Soul Transformation cultivators might employ, ready to break through with sheer force.

This made Chen Mobai frown slightly.

According to their usual combat habits, the old Flood Dragon liked to bully others with its power, often smashing with the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl. Relying on the power of this peak sixth-tier magical artifact, it would suppress and repel the Primordial Bell to display its superiority.

But now, concerned that True Monarch Wuchen and others might be hiding in the dark, preparing a sneak attack, the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl clearly wasn’t going to leave its side.

If that were the case, even if Chen Mobai were to unleash his Dharma Domain now and swallow it, he would still have to account for the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl.

However, Chen Mobai had already considered this point. He believed his Dharma Domain and the top-grade sixth-tier Primordial Bell would be able to suppress the old Flood Dragon, which lacked the blessing of the Dark Sea’s power.

Thinking of this, Chen Mobai no longer hesitated. His vast and immense divine sense erupted, and the feigned Primordial Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder instantly transformed into a sky-filling five-colored light net, mixed with streams of Grand Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light, striking down upon the old Flood Dragon, whose upper body was protruding from the sea.

“Hmph, mere specks of light!”

Facing these two great divine abilities, powerful enough to obliterate ordinary fifth-tier True Spirits, the old Flood Dragon showed disdain. The sky-blue treasure pearl above its head emanated a radiant glow, and the boundless Dark Sea surged upwards from all directions, instantly forming countless layers of water curtain defenses.

The Grand Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light struck first, cutting through layers of water curtains while simultaneously converting the water elemental forces into five-element spiritual energy for its own use.

But the water curtains in front of the old Flood Dragon were simply too numerous. Even though the Grand Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light tried its best to convert and cut, it could still only break through one-third of them.

Rumble!

After the Grand Five Elements Annihilation Divine Light was submerged and eroded by the old Flood Dragon’s pure and vast water elemental true energy, the Primordial Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder then descended. Upon impacting the transparent water curtains, it unleashed an earth-shattering roar.

The huge fluctuations caused the Dragon Palace above the deep-sea eye to tremble slightly. The young Flood Dragon, whose injuries had healed, was just about to lead its countless kin out of the sea to help the old Flood Dragon, but after sensing the terrifying aftershocks of the two forces battling on the surface, it stopped.

It thought of True Monarch Wuchen and the other East Continent Soul Transformation cultivators hiding in the dark, whose potential goal might be to capture its vulnerable self to threaten its father. Therefore, it decided to stay in the Dragon Palace and cheer for the old Flood Dragon.

“Father has the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl in hand and is atop the Dark Sea’s eye. Even if a Void Refinement cultivator came, they could still fight to turn the world upside down. I will just wait for good news in the palace.”

After the young Flood Dragon understood this, it immediately relaxed, turned, and returned to its own palace, merely observing the battle on the Dark Sea with its divine sense.

Chen Mobai and the old Flood Dragon knew each other’s strengths thoroughly. After several rounds of divine ability clashes, the One-Yuan Avatar activated the power of the newly advanced Primordial Bell, just barely resisting the old Flood Dragon’s tempestuous assault.

“So your bell has improved; no wonder you dared to come to my Dragon Palace to seek death.”

After the exchange, the old Flood Dragon had already seen that the Primordial Bell held by the One-Yuan Avatar had not only drastically changed in appearance but its power had also risen by a level.

If it weren’t on the Dark Sea, the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl might not even be able to suppress it.

Thinking of this, the old Flood Dragon felt extremely fortunate that Chen Mobai was so arrogant.

If he had hidden this trick and waited until it went to the shore, he might have been able to team up with the Heaven-Earth Xuanji Instrument and launch a vicious sneak attack.

“In my life, I never fight unprepared battles. Since I am here today, it means your death is nigh.”

Chen Mobai continued his psychological assault. Meanwhile, the dark clouds in the sky had silently descended to the sea surface during their several exchanges, appearing like clumps of mist suspended above the sea, with faint glimmers of multi-colored lightning flashing on and off.

“Hmph, are you trying to set up a formation in the void? In front of the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl, you can’t even break my skin.”

The old Flood Dragon naturally noticed this, holding the sky-blue treasure pearl above its head with a face full of confidence.

Although it perceived its divine sense and vision were somewhat obstructed, it merely thought Chen Mobai was creating an opportunity for the hidden East Continent Soul Transformation cultivators to launch a sneak attack.

“I hope you can still be this confident in a moment.”

Chen Mobai, however, smiled faintly. By this time, the darkness, resembling dark clouds, had completely enveloped the Dark Sea’s surface, wrapping the old Flood Dragon at its very center.

He raised his palm, and a wisp of silver light emerged from its center. As he clenched his fist, the light instantly spread out, engulfing the old Flood Dragon, who stood motionless, its face still confident.

“Mere ant-like skills, are you trying to tickle me…?”

The old Flood Dragon allowed the silver light and dark clouds to cover it, its Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl above its head radiating light. It was just about to mock them when suddenly it felt dizzy, and its vision turned pitch black.

“Huh, where’s Father?”

Inside the Dragon Palace, the young Flood Dragon, who was observing the battle with its divine sense, suddenly discovered that the old Flood Dragon had vanished from its spot.

It couldn’t help but look surprised and suspicious, but it wasn’t worried.

After all, the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl was invincible on the Dark Sea. Even secret arts similar to the Earth Element Sealing Boundary could be shattered with absolutely overwhelming force.

In its opinion, the old Flood Dragon would soon return, wielding the power of the Dark Sea, and blast to death this young man from the Five Elements Sect who had almost caused its demise.

At this moment, the young Flood Dragon saw Chen Mobai on the sea surface suddenly turn and glance at it.

This glance made it tremble with fear, almost causing it to fall from its dragon throne.

But it immediately remembered that it was in its main base, protected by a sixth-tier grand formation. Even if the entire True Path from East Continent came, they would not be able to breach it.

The young Flood Dragon was very angry at its own timidity and was about to project an illusory divine sense figure to glare back, but found that Chen Mobai had already recalled the One-Yuan Avatar. The Primordial Five Elements Annihilation Divine Thunder, which had still been feigning an attack on the sea surface, had vanished in an instant along with the pitch blackness.

The young Flood Dragon, which had just condensed water elemental energy with its divine sense to fly out of the Dark Sea, saw a calm and peaceful sea surface, its face full of confusion.

“Where is he?”

“Where’s Father?”

After a dizzying sensation.

The old Flood Dragon found itself in a pitch-black environment where it couldn’t see its hand in front of its face. It didn’t take it seriously at first, merely thinking it was a divine ability similar to the Daoist Sect’s Earth Element Sealing Boundary. It was about to activate the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl to draw upon the Dark Sea’s power to break free, but suddenly realized its breathing became difficult; the usually moist and comfortable air had abruptly turned dry and scorching.

Although it had never been to a desert, it felt as if it were now in an endless sea of sand.

“What a detestable environment!”

The old Flood Dragon frowned. Its True Spirit power surged into the sky-blue treasure pearl above its head, and vast water elemental power spread out, forming a large blue orb of light that enveloped its entire body.

At this moment, a sound of rolling liquid entered the old Flood Dragon’s ears.

Although it could not see with its eyes, its divine sense could still be projected, and it quickly discovered cracks suddenly opening in the void. From these, streams of scalding, fiery red lava seeped out, sweeping towards it like fiery dragons.

“What kind of divine ability is this?”

The old Flood Dragon felt something was amiss at this moment. Although these lava fire dragons landed on its Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl and were quickly extinguished and suppressed by the azure radiance, it realized that the boundless Dark Sea, which had always been connected to its bloodline and which it could clearly perceive anywhere in the Tianhe Realm, now seemed to have vanished from its bloodline.

As one of the origins from which the Mother of Water opened up the Tianhe Realm, the Dark Sea naturally couldn’t disappear.

So that means its connection with the Dark Sea has been severed!

“This is impossible!?”

The old Flood Dragon’s eyes widened, and it finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

One must know that even when it was previously trapped by True Monarch Wuchen’s Earth Element Sealing Boundary, cast with the Heaven-Earth Xuanji Instrument, its connection with the Dark Sea was still perfectly clear with the blessing of the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl.

It cast several perception secret arts from its True Spirit bloodline, wanting to sense the water elemental power between heaven and earth. However, it found that while the four types of spiritual energy—metal, wood, fire, and earth—were present around it, water spiritual energy was conspicuously absent.

“What is this place?”

The old Flood Dragon also thought of a secret realm, but no matter which secret realm it was, water sources were an indispensable foundation.

Clang, clang, clang!

And just as it was pondering, a familiar bell chime had already sounded.

The old Flood Dragon instinctively activated the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl to block the roaring, invisible ripples.

But the moment the two magical artifacts clashed, it suddenly realized something.

The Primordial Bell restrained five-element magical artifacts. Previously, the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl was of a higher grade and had the blessing of the boundless Dark Sea, which allowed it to easily counteract.

But now the situation was different.

The Primordial Bell was already a top-grade sixth-tier artifact, and neither it nor the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl could sense the boundless Dark Sea.

“This can’t be good, can it!?”

But even if the old Flood Dragon realized this, it could only grit its teeth and continue to activate the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl.

Because the only thing it had on hand that could counter the top-grade sixth-tier Primordial Bell was this.

The two magical artifacts clashed again, and violent ripples spread out, turning the old Flood Dragon’s face grim.

Under the sweeping five-colored ripples, the azure radiance emanating from above its head began to violently twist, actually showing a tendency to break.

The Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl was suppressed by the Primordial Bell.

It had to immediately find a way to escape from here.

“Is this a seventh-tier divine talisman from the Grand Void Ethereal Palace?”

The old Flood Dragon recalled a treasure that fit this situation: the Grand Void Ethereal Palace, besides its seventh-tier Dao treasures, was rumored to also possess seventh-tier divine talismans. Once activated, they could banish cultivators to a nearly real world from which they could never return to the Tianhe Realm.

“Although not, it’s pretty close.”

In the darkness, Chen Mobai said this.

The old Flood Dragon’s heart sank, and for the first time, it felt the shadow of death.

No matter where it was taken, the fact that it could not sense the Dark Sea was undeniable. With the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl above its head already suppressed by the Primordial Bell, if it couldn’t escape this strange, dark place in time, it would likely be besieged and killed by the hidden East Continent Soul Transformation cultivators.

Its previously boundless magical power was due to having the Dark Sea as its backing, allowing the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl to continuously draw upon it.

But now, without this reliance, although it was still the top True Spirit in the Tianhe Realm, if it encountered four or five Soul Transformation cultivators with sixth-tier magical artifacts besieging it, it would surely die.

“So this was your goal. Where are Wuchen and the others? Come out too. Even if I die today, I’ll take two with me.”

After the old Flood Dragon understood all the “schemes” of the East Continent Soul Transformation cultivators, its face suddenly turned grim, its eyes fierce, displaying the demeanor of a top True Spirit in the Tianhe Realm.

“No, only you will die today!”

After Chen Mobai finished speaking, the Primordial Bell was already roaring again.

After their previous exchange, he was now full of confidence.

As long as he could continuously suppress the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl, the old Flood Dragon, within the Dharma Domain, would be completely at his mercy.

Clang, clang, clang!

The bell’s chime became deeper and heavier, and the five-colored ripples were clearly visible even within the dark Dharma Domain. The Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl above the old Flood Dragon’s head rotated continuously, emanating more azure radiance, continuing to resist the artifact despite being restrained.

Gurgle!

At the same time, from the cracks in the surrounding void, streams of high-temperature lava, so hot that even the old Flood Dragon’s fifth-tier physical body found them unbearable, surged out, covering its entire body.

It did not know that these were the powers of void illusions, but thought they were Chen Mobai’s specially prepared ultimate move against it. It had to grit its teeth and divert some of the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl’s radiance to resist them.

In this way, all of the Dingyuan Sea-Calming Pearl’s power was already tied up.

Chen Mobai, who had perceived this with the Fangcun Book, unleashed his second primordial spirit.

A brilliant golden sword light suddenly lit up in the depths of the darkness, and in an instant, it descended, striking the air above the old Flood Dragon’s spine.

With a furious roar, a golden scale flew up from the old Flood Dragon’s back, blocking the descending Yuan Yang Sword and sending sparks flying.

Magical artifacts of the sixth tier, one after another, unleashed vast and terrifying fluctuations within the Dharma Domain, almost tearing the darkness apart.
