One Hand, Five Loaches

"What?" Jiang Wen, still immersed in grief, glanced at the Flood Dragon in the Jiang Family territory.

His eyebrows, furrowed in surprise, smoothed out in astonishment. He hesitated before asking again, "The current Jiang Family can't even handle a mere Great Sage?"

Receiving the elder's affirmative reply, his expression turned grim.

He glared fiercely at the elder in front of him, who was as respectful as a grandson. Looking at the token on the elder's waist, he frowned again, barely holding back a curse:

"Damn it, what time is it? Even someone at the first level of Immortal Platform can be a Jiang Family elder!"

"Where is the current family head! What is his cultivation level, that you would wake me for a mere Great Sage-level mudfish?"

Jiang Wen's face was serious. For him, whose lifespan was nearing its end, each time he sealed himself in Divine Source and was awakened again meant his lifespan would accelerate its decay.

He angrily cursed, "You are all useless! Even if the family head was only at the Four Extremes realm, with a damaged Imperial Formation protecting the Jiang Family territory, you wouldn't let a mere Great Sage-level demon race creature in!"

Immediately, he put aside his scolding of his useless descendants. If he didn't act now, the Flood Dragon outside would cause casualties.

Sighing with disappointment, he opened his hand and stretched it outwards.

Instantly, his withered, wrinkled palm erupted with light – the Divine Power within him was faintly circulating.

Dense patterns of divine runes entwined his arm, transforming the withered old man's palm into a golden curtain that blotted out the sky.

Looking down from the space of the Big Dipper, one could see a powerful golden arm, tens of thousands of kilometers wide, capable of crushing a planet like Earth in its grasp. It was like pinching an earthworm, with two fingers firmly gripping the enormous Flood Dragon, thousands of kilometers long, rendering it immobile.

The hundreds of thousands of kilometers of atmosphere were ignored. The massive arm, moving at over fifty percent the speed of light, extended towards the high heavens while casually smoothing out the destructive shockwaves that should have occurred in the atmosphere.

On the Big Dipper, a life-ancient star reaching dozens of times the diameter of the sun, astonishingly huge.

More than half of the Northern Region, countless mortal kingdoms, sects, and families could see the golden curtain that occupied the entire sky, terrifyingly vast.

In countless mortal dynasties, wars immediately ceased. Innumerable mortals knelt on the ground, worshipping this miracle in the sky.

The cultivators of the Northern Region also looked in shock at the giant hand extending from the Jiang Family territory, discussing amongst themselves.

An old fossil, recently unsealed from Divine Source, muttered, "What's going on! Since the forbidden zone rioted a few days ago, has the Jiang Family also activated their reserves?"

An elder from a family of Great Emperors, his brow furrowed, said, "Hengyu Great Emperor once quelled the Dark Turmoil, and the Jiang Family Imperial Son died long ago while quelling the Dark Turmoil. This time, are they awakening their reserves again to deal with the Dark Turmoil, preparing to sacrifice Emperor Weapons at any moment?"

"If the Jiang Family's Quasi-Emperor cultivators have sufficiently pure bloodlines, after sacrificing Emperor Weapons, they should be able to temporarily contend with Supreme Beings, right?"

A powerful being from a forbidden zone glanced dismissively and snorted, "Just some old rotten food about to fall apart."

Awoo...

The dragon's roar, already filled with violent pain from its injuries, instantly transformed into a death cry under the crushing pressure of the giant hand.

Pitch-black dragon blood, containing extremely dense Yin Sha energy, was squeezed out from the gaps in the palm, pouring down from the sky like a tsunami.

If left unchecked, a single drop of this Great Sage-level Flood Dragon blood, capable of piercing stars, would fall to the ground. It could render millions of square kilometers of the Northern Region barren, annihilate all life, and condense a sea of Yin Sha blood tens of thousands of miles long beneath the earth.

"Oh?" As he was retracting his hand, Jiang Wen, the owner of the giant hand, exclaimed in surprise as he probed with his Divine Sense.

"It's not a Dharma Aspect but its physical body, and this Cold Flood Dragon... hasn't even cultivated?!"

The result of his Divine Sense probe shocked him immensely. He noticed that the Flood Dragon attacking the Jiang Family territory had not a single trace of cultivation within it!

Inside its body, there was no opening of the five major cultivation realms: Sea of Wheels, Dao Palace, Four Extremes, Dragon Transformation, or Immortal Platform, nor were there any traces of the cultivation systems that circulated in small areas of the starry sky.

This Cold Flood Dragon was pure and flawless within. Merely relying on its vigorous Blood Essence and its innate Yin Sha power as a Cold Flood Dragon, it had already reached the terrifying Great Sage level!

It was known that in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, billions of living beings had to cultivate to break through their limits and become stronger.

Having traveled the starry sky for over a thousand years in his youth, he possessed extraordinary knowledge. He knew that some special innate mutated bloodlines existed in the depths of the starry sky.

Those savage beasts and special life forms, even if they never cultivated a day in their lives, could become terrifyingly strong just by constantly feeding and naturally maturing.

For example, there were Star Devourers in the starry sky that nested in the Great Sun. Their species were extremely rare, rumored to be extinct, but once they matured, the lowest level they could reach was the Saint King realm.

However, only through cultivation, by continuously developing the five major secret realms, could one break through the limitations of their bloodline and surpass its limits.

Yet, this creature, without any cultivation, could reach the Great Sage level relying solely on its physical body and Primordial Spirit forged by its innate bloodline. Its talent was unbelievably monstrous!

Furthermore, this Flood Dragon's Blood Essence and soul were too pure!

So pure...

It was almost like a hatchling that had just emerged from its eggshell!

"Reaching the Great Sage level without any cultivation, what would happen if it were to cultivate even a little?"

"With such a pure bloodline, it's almost comparable to a True Dragon, isn't it?"

Realizing he had stumbled upon something significant, the giant hand suddenly became gentle. He quickly circulated a secret technique, healing the near-death Cold Flood Dragon and collecting all the scattered blood.

Having finally woken up, and needing to prepare for the upcoming crisis, Jiang Wen likely wouldn't live much longer.

Being old, without a great opportunity, he couldn't possibly break through further to extend his life. He needed to consider the descendants of the Jiang Family.

Jiang Wen planned to imprison this Flood Dragon with its incredibly pure bloodline, extract its essence blood, and see if he could refine it into a pill to temper the foundations of the current generation of geniuses in the Jiang Family. This would at least make his awakening worthwhile.

Even if demon race powerhouses came wanting to claim this unparalleled, uncultivated prodigy with pure blood, he would still have to extort a good price.

Is this the end?

No.

In Minecraft, the mechanism of a Monster Spawner activates when a player is within 16 blocks of it.

By default, it attempts to spawn a batch of monsters every 10-40 seconds, with a maximum of 4 monsters per batch. Spawning stops if there are already six monsters within its spawn radius.

Just as Jiang Wen's massive hand retracted, and Fang Zheng had only just processed it, the sky suddenly brightened then darkened. While he was wondering what kind of super monster the scales within the dark clouds were.

Ten seconds after the first monster spawn's cooldown ended, the Monster Spawner began spawning again.

However, last time there was only one monster, but this time, it was the maximum number of monsters the spawner could spawn at once—four!
