Destroy the Dragon Clan! Farewell, Ancestors, Ascend to Heaven!

"That's... Ying Long and Yellow Dragon. Why are they here?"

Dingguang Immortal's expression darkened as he stared at the two figures.

What astonished him most was Yellow Dragon's cultivation. This man, once the weakest among the Twelve Golden Immortals, had actually broken through to the early Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm.

To Dingguang Immortal, it was truly inconceivable!

"Do not panic. Let us see what they intend to do!"

Ji Meng remained unmoved and spoke calmly.

At this moment!

Ying Long and Yellow Dragon descended above the East Sea Spring Eye. With a casual sweep of their sleeves, countless Water Tribe rebels of the Four Seas spat blood and flew backward.

"Three Dao Friends, where is Ao Guang?"

Ying Long wore a black Daoist Robe, his long hair draped over his shoulders and his gaze deep and sharp.

Through the Heavenly Dao merit he gained from helping Xuanyuan wage war and assisting Da Yu in regulating the rivers, he had successfully dissolved the shackles of the Heavenly Dao upon himself and broken through to the Golden Immortal of Grand Dao realm.

When he sensed that the Dragon Clan was facing calamity, Ying Long came without hesitation. By chance, he encountered Yellow Dragon along the way, and the two traveled together.

"Brother Ao Guang went to Penglai Immortal Island to discuss the Dragon Clan's ascension to Heaven with the Great Emperor of the Azure Radiance!"

"These Water Tribes of the Four Seas were incited by Demon Saint Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal. That is why they are madly attacking the East Sea Spring Eye, intending to force the Dragon Clan to join the Demon Court!"

Seeing Ying Long and Yellow Dragon come to help, Ao Qin hurriedly explained the entire situation.

At this moment!

Yellow Dragon formed a hand seal and frowned. "Dao Friend Ao Guang's whereabouts are unknown. He is not on Penglai Immortal Island, but he should not be in mortal danger for the time being."

"Let us first crush the Water Tribes of the Four Seas, lest the East Sea Spring Eye be affected!"

After hearing Yellow Dragon's words, the hearts of the Three Dragon Kings sank. Yet they did not lose their fighting spirit. Instead, they transformed into streaks of light and charged back into the battlefield.

Ying Long and Yellow Dragon exchanged glances, and both activated their Mana!

In an instant, the Dragon Clan, which had been at a disadvantage, roared as they crushed the Water Tribes of the Four Seas.

Ji Meng and Dingguang Immortal's expressions twisted when they saw this. They had not expected the Water Tribes of the Four Seas to be so useless that they could not even stop two early Golden Immortals of Grand Dao.

"It seems the Dragon Clan cannot possibly join the Demon Court!"

"If we cannot have them, then destroy the Dragon Clan. If the Dragon Clan ascends to Heaven, the Heavenly Court will naturally gain control of the Four Seas. By then, the Demon Court will be in trouble!"

"Demon Saint, it is time to make a decision!"

Dingguang Immortal spoke in a low voice as he looked toward Ji Meng.

At the start of their scheme, they had considered the possibility that the Dragon Clan would remain stubborn and refuse to submit. But when that reality appeared before them, it still stirred up tempestuous waves in their hearts.

Ying Long and Yellow Dragon had aided the Dragon Clan. The situation had now completely reversed!

"Dingguang Immortal, return to Golden Ao Island at once."

"Everything that happens next will be borne by me alone. It has nothing whatsoever to do with the Sect of Interception."

Ji Meng's gaze was grave as he spoke slowly.

Dingguang Immortal seemed to have anticipated something long ago. Without the slightest hesitation, he headed toward Golden Ao Island. He could not allow this matter to implicate the Sect of Interception.

As for Ji Meng, he brought out his natal spiritual treasure: the Trident of Sea Tumult, a genuine High-Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure.

"Water Tribes of the Four Seas, heed this Saint's command!"

"Charge into the East Sea Spring Eye!"

Ji Meng waved the Trident of Sea Tumult. Soul-chilling ghostly light shot toward the countless Water Tribes of the Four Seas. In an instant, they seemed to lose their minds and fell into endless madness, soon tearing open a gap in the Dragon Clan's defenses.

"The East Sea Spring Eye shall erupt, and a calamity shall descend upon the Primordial Wilderness!"

"During the Lich Tribulation, this Saint already bore much Karmic Force of Slaughter. Adding a little more now is nothing. As long as I can help the Demon Court eliminate its enemies, I will not have betrayed the trust of the two Demon Emperors."

A crazed, savage smile appeared on Ji Meng's face, and the dragon-scale armor on his body gleamed brilliantly.

Seawater surged, and waves rolled violently.

The Water Tribes of the Four Seas were incomparably fierce and did not care about their own lives. Trampling over the corpses of Dragon Clan members and others, they leaped directly into the East Sea Spring Eye. Explosions soon rang out.

The Water Tribes of the Four Seas had been controlled by Ji Meng and directly self-destructed within the East Sea Spring Eye.

"Hold them back!"

Ying Long sensed that things were amiss and directly transformed into his true form.

His million-zhang body radiated dragon might. He stood without hesitation before the breach, allowing the endless Water Tribes of the Four Seas to tear at his body and even self-destruct before him.

Seeing this, Ao Qin, Ao Shun, and the others followed suit. The courageous Dragon Clan members even directly burned their dragon souls and essence blood, forcibly raising their battle prowess.

A fleeting bloom, a moment of splendor!

"Hehe... Do you ants think you can stop this Saint's plans?"

Ji Meng flipped his right hand, and mysterious light emerged.

Within the orb of light was a million-zhang figure with eight snake heads and eight tails. It radiated evil from head to toe, so much so that even Ji Meng could not help wanting to erase it.

"To fall for the Demon Court is doing you a favor!"

As he spoke, Ji Meng hardened his heart and poured his essence blood and Mana into the figure. Before long, its body shattered its restraints and directly transformed into a ten-million-zhang form.

The aura it emitted had already surpassed the bounds of a Golden Immortal of Grand Dao.

Tearing open space, Ji Meng hurled the orb of light from his hand.

The next instant, the orb appeared directly within the East Sea Spring Eye. Then, that ten-million-zhang body emerged across the sky, its evil laws sweeping through everything.

"Not good!"

Ying Long let out a roar, warning Yellow Dragon, Ao Shun, and the others.

Immediately after!

He unleashed great Mana, and countless laws and orders wrapped around the Dragon Clan members present as they fled into the distance. Seeing that the situation was beyond saving, Yellow Dragon, Ao Shun, and the others could only follow suit.

"How dare a mere worm attempt to self-destruct and destroy the East Sea Spring Eye?"

"Fellow clansmen, sacrifice our dragon souls and suppress the East Sea Spring Eye!"

An aged voice resounded between heaven and earth.

It was immediately followed by countless responses.

Millions of li away, Ying Long and the others wore complicated expressions, tears welling in their eyes. Boundless flames of rage burned in their chests, but they had no way to change anything.

"Ji Meng, Demon Court, Dingguang Immortal—I, the Dragon Clan, will never rest until you are dead!"

Ao Qin clenched his fists. His scar-covered body looked utterly miserable, yet he still stood straight, solemnly staring at the East Sea Spring Eye.

There lay all the Dragon Clan elders who had entered to suppress the East Sea Spring Eye since the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation.

Now, they were going to fight to the death!

Within the East Sea Spring Eye, turbulent currents raged. Ancient dragon skeletons drifted through the void, while one figure after another circulated the last remnants of their Mana.

BOOM!

An explosion burst forth across the sky.

Under Ji Meng's control, the ten-million-zhang body exploded directly. An energy storm capable of annihilating all things swept through the area, turning everything into ash.

This included space spanning millions of li, as well as the mindless Water Tribes of the Four Seas.

"Stop it for this old man!"

"As long as we survive this calamity, the Dragon Clan's descendants will be able to wash away the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. Even if we perish in body and spirit, it will have been more than worth it!"

An old man in a gray Daoist Robe, already at death's door, shouted aloud.

This person was the oldest ancestor of the Dragon Clan besides Azure Dragon—Chenlong!

"Hahaha... Splendid!"

"The sins and karmic consequences of the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation—the Dragon Clan can repay them..."

In that instant!

Brilliant lights flashed and vanished. As the Dragon Clan's ancestors and elders all perished, the explosive energy of that ten-million-zhang body finally subsided completely.

The East Sea Spring Eye remained untouched!

Only, amid the vast seawater and dim void, every trace that the Dragon Clan had ever existed was erased.

"Farewell, honored ancestors!"

Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun led the Dragon Clan's remaining members to kneel directly in the seawater and kowtow toward the East Sea Spring Eye.

Dim True Spirits and Primordial Spirits merged into the river of life of the Primordial World. They had already been dying people; now that they had repaid all their sins, they could not enter reincarnation.

Only the Dragon Clan warriors who had fallen in this bloody battle could receive the mercy of the Heavenly Dao's laws, enter the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and be reborn into the Dragon Clan.

"Farewell, ancestor. Ascend to Heaven!"

A figure hurried over, knelt, and kowtowed.

Ling Xiao stood upon the void. Watching Ao Guang reunite with the rest of the Dragon Clan, he looked toward the East Sea Spring Eye, and a trace of emotion passed across his usually calm face.

"The Dragon Clan's ancestors have all perished in exchange for the complete disappearance of the Dragon Clan's Heavenly Dao shackles. Their tragedy and heroism deserve this poor Daoist's respect."

"Now, it is time for me to use the Creation Water Spirit to completely suppress the East Sea Spring Eye..."
