Blood Battle Begins! Peak Golden Immortal of Grand Dao!

Storm clouds gathered, and the mountain rain was imminent.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas all surged toward the East Sea Spring Eye, while the Four Seas Water Tribes lurked in the shadows, converging on the East Sea. For a time, the oppressive atmosphere grew increasingly intense.

East Sea Spring Eye.

Like an endless vortex of darkness, it churned the boundless seawater into violent turmoil. An eerie, mysterious aura seeped from the East Sea Spring Eye, and every dragon creature had tears in their eyes.

After the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation came to an end, countless Dragon Clan elders had stepped forward and entered the East Sea Spring Eye to sort out the violent, terrifying chaotic currents and stabilize the earth veins and water veins of the Four Seas.

No one knew how many Dragon Clan elders had exhausted their Mana, using their own dragon bodies to fill the spatial rifts and suppress the baleful storms and chaotic currents that destroyed all things.

A sorrowful mood spread among the dragons. At the forefront, Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun wore solemn expressions as they looked down at the East Sea Spring Eye below.

"Ao Guang has sent no word. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"The Four Seas Water Tribes have also become restless. Under Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal's orders, they are hiding in the shadows. If they breach our defenses, the Dragon Clan elders sorting out the chaotic currents within the East Sea Spring Eye will be in danger."

Ao Qin spoke in a deep voice.

The East Sea Spring Eye frequently erupted.

Only by suppressing the chaotic laws within could the Four Seas remain calm.

Otherwise, once it completely erupted, all the waters of the Four Seas would flow backward into the East Sea Spring Eye. Then, after brewing to a certain critical point, they would all pour forth again. By then, the entire Primordial Land would become a vast ocean.

If the Dragon Clan could not stop the Four Seas Water Tribes, the karmic debts they bore would become shackles they could never cast off. Moreover, the dragons within the East Sea Spring Eye would suffer a backlash and perish.

"Hold back the water tribe rebels at all costs!"

"Whether through self-destruction or perishing together with them, any Dragon Clan warrior who falls defending the East Sea Spring Eye will receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao's order. Their Heavenly Dao shackles will be washed away, and they will enter reincarnation."

"Life in the Dragon Clan has been too bitter. Bound by Heavenly Dao shackles, we cannot glimpse the carefree Great Dao..."

Ao Shun, dressed in black robes, spoke with a grave expression.

Dragon roars rang out without end, echoing beside every Dragon Clan warrior's ears. In an instant, all of them stood united, unafraid of death or injury.

They felt no shame in falling for the welfare of the Four Seas!

"Courting death!"

"These Dragon Clan creatures are all stubborn fools. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are like stones in a latrine—both stinking and hard. They have actually rallied the Dragon Clan, intending to fight a bloody battle against the Four Seas Water Tribes outside the East Sea Spring Eye."

"Demon Saint, I am worried that something unexpected may happen."

Dingguang Immortal stood in the vast void and spoke to Ji Meng beside him.

Originally, their goal had only been to intimidate and force the Dragon Clan into submission.

But now, the Dragon Clan gave Dingguang Immortal the feeling that they truly intended to fight to the death and defend the East Sea Spring Eye.

Hearing this, Ji Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "Do not be fooled by their fearlessness now. Once the war begins, they will surely beg us for mercy."

"After all, the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas do not want the Dragon Clan to perish either!"

Very quickly!

With Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal's approval, the vast Four Seas Water Tribes turned into a roaring tide. Endless baleful aura and killing intent swept across the sky as they charged toward the East Sea Spring Eye.

Ferocious and terrifying, blades flashed and swords danced amid thunderous roars.

"Dragon Clan warriors, kill!"

Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun roared. The aura of peak Golden Immortals of Grand Dao burst forth as they transformed into killing machines and charged into the Four Seas Water Tribes. Wherever they passed, only severed limbs and flowing blood remained.

"Dragon Kings, surrender without resistance!"

"The Dragon Clan's era has already passed. Hand over control of the Four Seas to them, and your Dragon Clan will no longer need to suppress the East Sea Spring Eye. Why not?"

A figure clad in heavy turtle armor appeared. Ancient, evil runes were carved across it, while lightning laws surged around his body. The imposing aura of an early Golden Immortal of Grand Dao bore down upon the three Dragon Kings present.

The Dragon Clan bore Heavenly Dao shackles and could not break through the limits of their cultivation realms.

But over countless ages, the other water tribes had accumulated their strength. Now that the Dark Yin Thunder Turtle Clan possessed sufficient power, and with Dingguang Immortal and Ji Meng stirring them up, the Dark Yin Thunder Turtle Clan's patriarch revealed his fangs without hesitation.

"During the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Dragon Clan committed sins and incurred karmic consequences."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao was merciful and gave our Dragon Clan the grave duty of guarding the East Sea Spring Eye. Even if we must bear Heavenly Dao shackles, our Dragon Clan has never neglected its duties."

"You ants and mayflies dare act so brazenly!"

Ao Qin activated his Mana. Exchanging a glance with Ao Run and Ao Shun, he began burning his essence blood and dragon soul. Together, they surrounded the patriarch of the Dark Yin Thunder Turtle Clan.

In an instant, the bloody battle erupted!

Facing an early Golden Immortal of Grand Dao, the three Dragon Kings did not fall into a disadvantage. Relying on their powerful dragon bodies, they slaughtered in all directions like ancient gods fighting bathed in blood.

Their blood boiled as dragon roars rang out in waves.

The Dragon Clan of the Four Seas formed a battle formation, guarding the East Sea Spring Eye and directly facing the Four Seas Water Tribes' assault.

Blood dyed the East Sea red, and the howls lingered without fading.

Penglai Immortal Island.

Demonic aura intertwined with Merit Golden Light. The origins of the World-Destroying Black Lotus and Merit Golden Lotus before Ling Xiao were completely absorbed by him. Even the Silent Extinction Demonic Light and Netherworld Demonic Fire had fused into his body.

"Peak Golden Immortal of Grand Dao—I have succeeded!"

"To forge the Foundation of the Thirty-Sixth Grade Pure World White Lotus, I still need to refine the Karma Fire Red Lotus, Taiyi Whisk, and Three Treasures Jade Scepter. Even so, my foundation has now become incomparably stable."

Ling Xiao opened his eyes and muttered inwardly.

Before attaining the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao, Ling Xiao wanted to transform his Foundation to the thirty-sixth grade. His purpose was to condense the Three Flowers of the Grand Dao to perfection when attaining the Dao, standing shoulder to shoulder with the most powerful Chaos Demon Gods.

Nine grades at the peak, twelve grades at perfection!

This was Ling Xiao's ambition, and also the reason he had suppressed his cultivation realm. Otherwise, with the energy of the World-Destroying Black Lotus and Merit Golden Lotus, he would have entered the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm long ago.

"Congratulations on cultivating to the peak Golden Immortal of Grand Dao! Perhaps it will not be long before your strength surpasses mine..."

Wangshu parted her red lips and spoke with a smile.

Her eyes studied Ling Xiao, carrying an unusual meaning. Beyond the rich tenderness in them was undisguised admiration and affection.

"You are teasing me again!"

"How could a mere peak Golden Immortal of Grand Dao compare with a Golden Immortal of Hunyuan like you?"

Ling Xiao took Wangshu's jade-like hand and scratched her palm.

Their gazes collided by chance, and a faint blush quietly appeared on Wangshu's face.

"The Four Seas Water Tribes are attacking the East Sea Spring Eye. There are even early Golden Immortals of Grand Dao among them. With only those three Dragon Kings, I fear they cannot stop them at all!"

"Ling Xiao, do you think the Dragon Clan's hidden Great Beings will intervene?"

Wangshu spoke gently.

Primordial Dragon, Candle Dragon, and the others had fallen during the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, but Azure Dragon had become one of the sacred beasts and was suppressing the Primordial Wilderness in the far east. Could he really watch the Dragon Clan be destroyed?

"If the Dragon Clan's Great Beings appear, Dingguang Immortal and Ji Meng's scheme will naturally collapse. But that would not accord with the ways of the Heavenly Dao. If the Dragon Clan wishes to free itself from the Heavenly Dao shackles, they would be better off watching coldly."

"Every Dragon Clan creature who dies in battle will be baptized by Heavenly Dao Merit and receive the Heavenly Dao's compassion. Thus, when they enter reincarnation, their memories will not be entirely erased."

"Once they cultivate successfully and recover the memories of their previous lives, they will once again become the Dragon Clan's strongest pillars!"

Ling Xiao explained calmly, pinching Wangshu's jade-like hand.

After becoming the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance, his understanding of the Heavenly Dao's order had grown clearer and more thorough. He did not blindly submit to the Heavenly Dao, but acted according to the situation, achieving his own goals while following Heaven and respecting the Dao.

If the Dragon Clan's Great Beings saw through the situation, they should not interfere and defy the Heavenly Dao.

"So the Dragon Clan is destined to face a brutal battle!"

Wangshu nodded thoughtfully.

As she spoke, Wangshu moved closer to Ling Xiao of her own accord. Their expressions grew intimate, and before long they were entwined in affection, paying no heed to the battle between the Dragon Clan and the Four Seas Water Tribes.

Time passed, and countless changes unfolded.

The East Sea Spring Eye had become a sea of blood.

The three Dragon Kings' auras were weak. They had paid an enormous price to finally slay the patriarch of the Dark Yin Thunder Turtle Clan. Looking around, Dragon Clan warriors fell one after another, yet they had no power to reverse the tide of battle.

But at this critical moment, two figures arrived from afar.

Their auras soared into the heavens—they were both Golden Immortals of Grand Dao!
