k I’m a coward too”The walrus didn't speak.>“I won’t leave,” Qing Huo said, each word punctuated by a pause.With a bushy beard, he didn't seem like a patient man. Hearing this, he just said, "Suit you...Tap tap tap tap tap! Raindrops hit the sea, making a fierce sound

But unlike the previous decline of the Cang Hai, which held the meaning of destruction in its rain. 。...is not a thunderous cascade generated by magical collisions... 。These raindrops are crystal clear and pure. 。It was a sudden and unexpected change, a rare emotion, like teardrops from the heavens. 。A journey from heaven to sea, it walked its whole life. 。Every raindrop contains abundant vital energy. 。Every drop that falls creates new life for this ocean. 。It only needs to add some already mature methods, consolidating the feedback of the peak's collapse, this place will become a new peaceful sea area, providing a habitat for the marine race. 。 。Yu Que died here, even if it was the human race's atonement to the sea clan. 。But it was far from enough! The sea had nearly perished, the Sea Clans were almost forced to abandon their homes and flee in mass exodus. This battle destroyed countless habitats and buried untold efforts of theirs. 。The Human race only offered up one True Monarch, is that enough to compensate Ao Shu'yi died. 。Ao Shu, who had been scolded by the sea clan for hundreds of thousands of years… left in that resolute manner. 。Strangled to death! The fate of the Sea Race, unexpectedly saved by "River Dog"! The East China Sea Dragon King suddenly raised his head, and his voice was filled with grief. 。He had shrunk to many times smaller, but his dragon body was still thousands of zhang long, flying in such rain. 。Rain beats against the scales, drumming on wounds 。The cool rain didn't bring him joy, instead the pain made him feel more alert. 。As the sea grows calmer, talent flourishes; in times of turmoil, it is difficult to find capable individuals. 。To protect the East China Sea, Ao Jie did not mobilize its power. 。 。The Xuanjie where Ling Chen Daojun resides is not far from him. 。That trail, so profound and enigmatic, was captured with precision by him. 。After killing the Cang Hai and defending the Cang Hai, enduring billions of dust thunderbolts, he was certain he could still fight. 。But in the blood-red dragon's eyes, there flashed lightning at this time. 。The blazing lightning filled the Dragon King's vision, even invading his eyes. Ao Jie's pupils flashed with bloodlight, instantly swallowing the lightning that rushed into his eyes. Only then did he see what lay behind the lightning - a constantly rotating blue thunder orb, its surface displaying the final image of Zhenjun Yu Que. 。Yu Que's power was within it! He had always thought that Ji Zuo was going to take this power back, and after Yu Que crossed the barrier between worlds, he sent it back. 。"A hundred years of life, Li died while Tao replaced him," his deathbed experiences were also clearly like this. 。But now, Ji Zuo's fingertips are like thunderous roars, clearly not the case. 。Only then did Ao Jie see clearly that the blue lightning's surface was a reflection of Yu Que, but its interior surged with the power of the Final Calamity—during their previous battle, he and Ji Zu had competed to destroy the vast sea, vying for control over the dying sea's demise in order to seize a greater share of the Final Calamity's power. 。After Ao Shu's decisive victory over Gu Tianlu, he immediately returned the stolen power of the Final Tribulation and used it to heal the wounds of Cang Hai, repairing the damage it had suffered. 。Ji Zu would not show mercy to the Cang Hai, leaving the power of the final tribulation behind. 。And at this moment, using this final tribulation power as a carrier, it bore Yu Que's peak strength as thunder and forged this Qingxiao Annihilation Tribulation Thunder! A flash of electricity white! Between heaven and sea, everything visible, there was no other color. 。Destruction is always easier than construction. 。The already ravaged and unstable East China Sea, could it withstand such a bombardment Even if not killed again, it would inevitably suffer greatly! Just as the thunderbolts exploded, illuminating the vast expanse of the ocean, within Ao Jie's blood-red dragon eyes, a deep, dark whirlpool appeared once more. 。Heavenly Saint's Eye, Ultimate Gate of Intent, Devouring the Universe, Limitless and Infinite — Heaven-shaking Lightning, Contained in a Single Point 。This azure bolt of lightning, nestled within the vortex of the blood-red dragon's eyes, disappeared into the swirling depths. 。The celestial being, Qingxiao, was struck by the calamity and tribulation of this world, captured within Ao Jie's body! The powerful sea clan witnessed a scene that defied belief—a heavenly island carrying the weight of eternity, an ark of salvation in the face of the apocalypse, emerged from the void——The sacred land of Taoism, the source of its essence, Penglai Immortal Island! It initially appeared as a mere phantom, sending Ji Zu onto the ancient celestial path. 。Now that the ancient celestial road is severed, it travels using its true form. 。One of the Three Palaces of Taoism, Penglai Island, has always been isolated in the sea. In ancient times, it even sheltered many deep-sea water demons. 。To say "treating the sea," there is indeed rich experience. 。 。It's like dismantling Ao Jie's bones and covering them with Ao Jie's skin, using this to beat the drums! The sound of thunderous explosions reverberates incessantly, booming without end. 。Ao Jie's mighty dragon body twisted and writhed in the air, flesh and blood flying everywhere, roaring incessantly. All who saw and heard it were awestruck! "Dragon King!" "Your Majesty!" The powerful sea creatures present rushed forward with great concern. 。Of course, there are also figures like the demonic Emperor Xi Xian, who flaunts his power openly, revealing his hideous visage and sets out to capture the Penglai Immortal Island. 。He is a rare corpse cultivator among the Hai Clan, a powerful Hai Clan warrior's body preserved for millennia in a special sea area. By chance, he was born with sentience. 。And then I have been practicing steadily ever since. 。This practice is nearly extinct in the present world. 。Because cultivators of corpse refinement are mostly vicious and unruly, and this path also desecrates the dead, they were jointly purged on a large scale by both the Buddhist and Taoist schools, effectively cutting off their lineage. 。Before his enlightenment, Shi Liang feared the Thunderclap most of all. 。But as a result, on the path to success, he accumulated the richest experience in dealing with lightning strikes. 。So, it was under the endless bombardment of dust thunder from the Heavenly Sea that one of the fastest-reacting sea clan emperors made a move. 。But still a step behind. 。Mount Penglai once showed a mighty posture as if it would conquer the sea, but before the powerful sea creatures could surround and attack, it vanished with a flash. 。

As if just coming by for a quick hello

But that Lingchen Zhenjun Ji Zu, who was almost ignored in the endless lightning, also vanished - to be "ignored" among so many powerful beings is a testament to Tongtian's prowess. 。However, it is also the expertise of the Penglai Island Taoist system. 。Only a fluttering Taoist robe remained in the place, and dust thunder still roared between heaven and sea. 。That robe represents the current Grandmaster of Penglai Island, which is also the Daoist authority of Ji Zu. 。From the hem of his robe, gradually turning into ash and drifting away. 。The meaning embodied by the ancient Heavenly Road is that of a "bridge," spanning across time and space, allowing for the passage of countless troops. 。The meaning that Penglai Island embodies is "a boat". 。In the tribulation of the dying sea, this divinely-sent ark carried only Ji Zuò, the last remnant clothed in his simple garments. 。Taoist sacred land, Penglai Island 。The Sect Master is back!

Rumble rumble rumble! The thunder still rolled within Ao Jie's body. 。He swallowed such a terrifying tribulation lightning bolt and yet didn't die! Truly terrifyingly strong. 。"Your Majesty!" As soon as the thunder subsided, Emperor Xuan Shen flew to Ao Jie's side. With a wave of his scepter, he gathered the power of faith to heal the East Sea Dragon King. 。The East Sea Dragon King, however, raised a claw and pressed the scepter against... 。

Opened his mouth, allowing the blood from within to spill into the sea, and said:

"Do not waste your strength"

The ocean has many more places that need you. 。At this moment, Ao Jie's dragon body has shrunk by three circles, appearing gaunt and thin, with a skeletal frame. 。The bones on its body were covered with flesh, the flesh hanging from the skin in a disjointed manner. 。His left eye was gone, leaving only a dark, hollow pit. 。But he wasn't eager to expend his strength to recover himself. As he and the Xuan Shen Emperor had said, there were more places in the vast sea that needed power now. 。Stabilizing the situation in the East China Sea and rebuilding homes is more important than repairing the body of the Dragon King of the East China Sea. 。He just turned his head to look in the direction of the Mirror Realm entrance—the forcibly opened entrance had vanished. 。At most, the 100,000-strong Eda army managed to flee with about 50,000 soldiers. 。At that time, the army was like a burrowing earthworm, with its front half already inside and the rest along with Yu Que being cut off. 。These forcibly left Dou'er warriors, of course, have already been slaughtered to the last man. 。Their bodies will all be preserved as fodder for the sea beasts. 。Unless a strong individual of some value, the denizens of the sea typically do not take prisoners. The bounty of the ocean is plentiful, and feeding captives would be an uneconomical endeavor. A weakened captive would also prove detrimental — with the exception of particularly bloodthirsty individuals, most sea creatures do not partake in human flesh. 。But for the sea beasts, these human corpses were a delicacy. 。Ji Zu did indeed attract the attention of most of the powerful sea clans, but the emperors also didn't forget to let the sea clan dukes with sufficient combat strength lead their armies into the Illusory Realm, pursuing and slaying the fleeing Dou'er army. 。These 50,000 Wu army soldiers, if they could all return safely to Jing State, then with this as the framework, this army could quickly regain its combat effectiveness. 。If they were to be completely wiped out here... there are still reserves within the Jing Guo borders, of course. Armies like Dou Er's level definitely have ample reserve personnel, ready to reinforce at any time. 。But the title of being the first army in the land, need not be mentioned again. 。Yu Que, this person... first displayed his bravery, single-handedly holding back tens of thousands of enemy troops, making the sea tribe think he was going to fight to the death. Then, he deliberately called out Ji Zuo's name, leading the sea tribe to believe that his purpose was to lure the army and break their rearguard, allowing Ji Zuo to snatch away the Eternal Heavenly Tablet. Through this back-and-forth, he created an opportunity, blasting open the barrier between realms, making the powerful sea tribe members think that he was using Ji Zuo as a distraction to draw their attention while he escaped with the Dou'e army. But in reality, he truly remained behind, fulfilling that Qingxiao Annihilation Tribulation Thunder and helping the headmaster of Penglai escape. 。He is truly a master of tactical deception. 。To establish a meditation hall within this snail shell, repeatedly making empty gestures. 。As the commander of the Dou'e army, Yu Que bid farewell to his troops. 。As the True Monarch of Jingguo, he bid farewell to the Headmaster of Penglai at the Imperial Court. 。We can say that each identity has not been betrayed, and it is worthy of the name! But how many people in the human race have died without leaving a trace Thinking about this makes me worry for you! Those who die without leaving a trace are great losses to the vast ocean. 。Monument remains, vast benefit of the sea. 。But Ao Jie couldn't feel happy. 。In his youth, he also believed that he would one day accomplish feats beyond even the sages, firmly believing that he would become humanity's "scourge." 。When he defeated all his rivals and became the Dragon King of the Sea, he was ambitious and determined to make great contributions to the land of Shenlu... Now, all he thinks about is how to save the sea race from "disaster". 。The stronger, the more hopeless. 。The more one knows the "Dao," the more one realizes the elusiveness of the "Dao." 。"Those powers at Yuque, I thought they were to be brought back to Shenlu by Ji Zu. I didn't expect…" Zhong Xi was the emperor who personally organized the Mi Jie to hunt down those in the realm. Thinking about Yuque dying like this, he also felt a bit touched. 。Si Liang collected the ferocious and terrifying physical form, flew down, and feigned a light tone: "Probably Ji Zu wanted to take it back." 。But the illegitimate children of Yu Que were simply too numerous. He didn't know which one to give to whom, nor was it possible to accommodate them all. So he abandoned them here. 。"This was a joke that wasn't funny, but the Emperors all or mostly twitched their corners of their mouths to give some cooperation... The atmosphere was really too heavy." 。Even the most radical and arrogant of the sea races, after today's war, have acknowledged the truth and seen the gap between our two races. 。Sometimes, even with a large disparity in paper data, it's difficult to truly feel the impact if they haven't directly clashed. Back then, Ao Jie almost turned the tide against Shen Lu! Ao Jie didn't smile 。He merely dragged his wounded, broken body, using his dragon tail to bind an eternal monument, flying towards the distance. Blood flowed along the way, every drop falling into the vast sea - the fresh blood of the Sea Dragon King was also a tonic for the sea. 。The Eternal Sky Stele, under the control of the Jing people, has the potential to become a shackle that restrains the Hai clan. 。The Eternal Monument, under the control of the Sea Race, is able to create a peaceful sea domain, allowing more Sea Race creatures to inhabit it. 。Ao Jie this is seeking address and building a home. 。Under the gaze of numerous high-ranking sea creatures, Cang Hai Long Jun walked eastward without looking back. 。"Only this sentence remained, a summary of this war that began with us being completely outmatched: 'The Dragon Lord of the Long River has fallen to Heaven.'" 。If we can't keep going forward, then we can only blame ourselves. There's no one else to blame. 。In the war between humans and dragons during the ancient times, was it due to Ao Shu Yi's ambition that they were defeated If not for the human race already having a significant advantage, with Emperor Li Shan completely suppressing Emperor Xi Hun of the Dragons, would Ao Shu Yi have been able to rebel and gather so many aquatic creatures under his command "River hounds" from humanity should never be heard from again! ... The human settlements on the northernmost island near the sea should be "Bing Huang Island," which is already close to glaciers. 。Shimen Li's eldest daughter, Li Fengrao, has been stationed here for a long time, leading the army and cultivating herself. 。The East Sea is vast and boundless, even without the barrier of the Illusory Realm separating it from the boundless ocean. It's enough to keep people exploring their entire lives. 。Sailing north from the near-shore islands, one can see glaciers. 。After the glaciers, there are seas. After the seas, there are more glaciers. They stretch endlessly. 。Of course, the farther north you go, the more desolate it becomes. 。Two figures walk side by side on the glacier. 。Braving wind, frost, swords and hardship, he persevered, his black robes billowing in the gale. 。They wore the same style of masks, but the blood characters on their foreheads were different. 。One is called "judicial officer," the other "urban." 。They all paid close attention to their steps, even if there was a hole ahead. They would hover for a moment and wait for their brother to step forward before jumping ahead, none of them willing to be impolite by walking in front of their brother. 。After walking for a while, they finally found an inconspicuous ice cave deep within the glacier, following the organization's unique and secret markings. 。“Brother, please first.” 。"The City King bowed politely. " 。"Oh, don't be so polite!" Officer Wang still used a woman's voice, coquettishly saying: "Good brother, go in first!" "Roll in together!" A voice from deep within the ice cave belonged to King Qin Guang, clearly in a bad mood. 。"Boss!" Officer Wang, his voice laced with concern and flirtation, strode towards the ice cave. He swayed enticingly as he spoke, "I heard you were injured, I was so worried, I couldn't even continue my mission, so I rushed over to help you, I even brought some top-notch healing medicine! Boss, Boss! What happened to you Which scoundrel dared to hurt you We've gathered the brothers together..." He entered the ice cave and saw in the center, a shrine made of ice. 。The long-absent King Qin Guang, head held high, stood in the center of the crystal-clear altar. 。He stood tall and straight, with a narrow waist, and around it was fastened a mask. 。The eye sockets on the mask seemed to stare out. 。What pressured Wang the coroner was Qin Guangwang at this time, his eyes were both azure and his long hair reached his heels in a state of being possessed! He was about to say something when he suddenly raised his head in alarm, his gaze piercing through the top of the ice cave and towards the boundless high sky - there, a magnificent ancient celestial road spanned across the Near Sea, the Vast Sea, and the ancient world. 。He has only dared to gaze upon the distance throughout his journey, never delving into the details. 。To know its grandeur, yet to feel one's own smallness, and thus dare not approach it. 。But at this moment, the golden avenue, the path to heaven, actually crumbled and collapsed like sand! He raised his hand to press against the trembling chest, halting the frantic beating of his heart. In horror, he stared at King Qin Guang— “You… You cursed it to collapse!”uth to it. It's too cumbersome, always encountering things that trouble me... sigh!"He let out a long sigh: “However, the women of the nearby islands are too passionate and unrestrained.”With an open...
