The East Sea Gives Birth to Fusang, Divine Powers Sever the Great Luo

"Boom!"

At that moment, radiant light filled the sky, and the Innate Great Array that had shrouded the sea began to dissipate, revealing the hidden island beneath.

As the Cloud and Mist scattered, a corner of the island came into view, where an ancient, weathered stone tablet stood silently;

Dao patterns coiled around it, and on the tablet's front face, two characters were deeply engraved: "Tang Valley."

The moment those two characters entered his sight, Donghua felt the Lesser Yang Law within him stir faintly, resonating mysteriously with the Heavy Treasure on the island.

The instant the resonance occurred, a strand of Divine Sense spread out, swiftly locking onto Donghua's aura.

A streak of escaping light flashed, and the Purple Shrimp Ancestor landed steadily before Donghua.

He wore purple robes, his expression arrogant, his entire aura cold and murderous, with black qi shrouding his brow.

He eyed Donghua coldly and spoke with a hostile tone: "Daoist! Trespassing into my Cangming Shrimp Clan's territory—what is your intent?"

Not a single ripple crossed Donghua's face; he merely swept a dismissive glance at the other, scoffing at his claim.

This place had been sealed by the Innate Great Array until now, hidden from the Primordial Wilderness—it had clearly just emerged. The Purple Shrimp Ancestor's talk of "Clan Land" had no basis whatsoever.

Moreover, from his brief observation earlier, Donghua had already understood.

This fellow had most likely been drawn by the overwhelming aura of the Heavy Treasure's emergence, hoping to exploit the fact that news had yet to spread, using his Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal cultivation to intimidate all other cultivators with thunderous means and claim the treasure for himself.

Donghua couldn't be bothered to waste words with him and cut straight to the point:

"This treasure is fated to be mine. Leave at once, and I'll spare your life."

The Purple Shrimp Ancestor, upon hearing this, laughed instead of growing angry:

"Hahaha! Arrogant? When this Ancestor fought in the Dragon-Han Calamity, slaughtering across the Three Tribes' battlefield, you little whelp didn't even know where you were! How dare you spout nonsense before this Ancestor!"

He had seen clearly just now—when Donghua resonated with the treasure, what he revealed was nothing but a nascent, feeble Lesser Yang Law, clearly having just broken through to Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, his foundation unstable!

This place was the East Sea, the source of all waters! And the law he wielded was the Corrosive Water Law—here, he was like a dragon returning to the sea, fully leveraging the terrain!

The fire of Lesser Yang, before such overwhelming water power, was no more than a firefly compared to Bright Moon.

The advantage is mine!

With this thought, the Purple Shrimp Ancestor hesitated no longer, his killing intent blazing to its peak!

"This place shall be where your Dao perishes and your body falls!"

Before his words had even faded, a vicious glint burst from the Purple Shrimp Ancestor's eyes. His raised right arm instantly swelled, transforming into a massive True Form Shrimp Pincer wrapped in the flow of Corrosive Water Law, and a streak of purple light shot through the air, snapping toward Donghua!

Yet Donghua had long anticipated such a sneak attack. With a sweep of his Pure Yang Daoist Robe, he effortlessly blocked the strike.

"State your name! This Seat does not kill nameless wretches!"

Donghua paid him no heed, instead using a divine ability to disperse his form.

The next instant, the Purple Shrimp Ancestor felt a sudden heat at his back, a scorching Dao resonance that could incinerate the Eight Desolations surging through him!

Terrified, he hastily expanded his right arm again, transforming it back into a massive, heavily armored Black Armor-covered main claw, and without even looking, he swung it backward with all his might, intent on smashing the attacker to dust!

But the strike hit nothing!

The giant claw, carrying the force of ten thousand jun, only churned the scorching air.

"Boom!"

Before he could react, a light, drifting sleeve followed like a shadow, as if crossing space itself, silently brushing before his face.

The Pure Yang Immortal Light flowing on that sleeve rapidly magnified in his pupils!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The cultivators watching from afar saw two figures colliding at a speed too fast for the eye to track high in the sky.

Each clash twisted space itself, and the scattered Dao resonance rippled outward like waves, shattering clouds and reversing sea surges wherever it passed.

Those of weaker cultivation who merely gazed at the battle's center felt their Primordial Spirit sting and their Dao foundation waver.

"Fall back!"

The Purple Shrimp Ancestor pushed the Corrosive Water Law to its extreme, dark Mysterious Light trying to envelop and erode Donghua.

But unfortunately, Donghua's Pure Yang Law inherently countered his law, and Donghua's comprehension of the law surpassed his own. Wherever Donghua passed, the Mysterious Light melted away like snow under the sun.

The Purple Shrimp Ancestor could only rely on the rock-hard carapace he had forged through enduring beatings during the Dragon-Han Calamity to barely hold on.

Seeing his own law easily suppressed and his body covered in wounds, the Purple Shrimp Ancestor's arrogant and ferocious expression quickly faded. He forced out an extremely ugly smile, tinged with a hint of fawning, and his tone became unprecedentedly "diplomatic":

"Da... Daoist... please hold your hand!"

As he spoke, he rapidly retreated, putting what he deemed a safe distance between himself and Donghua.

"Your Daoist cultivation is profound, your methods formidable! This Ancestor—no, I am thoroughly convinced!"

He clasped his hands in a lowly gesture. "We are both Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals; cultivation is not easy. There's no need for us to fight to the death. It's just a mere treasure..."

His eyes flickered, quickly glancing at the island about to reveal its full form, a flash of pain crossing his face before he decisively said:

"I am willing to yield this treasure to you, Daoist! I was blind earlier and offended you—please forgive me! How about we call it quits here, turn conflict into harmony, what do you say?"

As it spoke, the Innate Great Array completely dissipated, and the island was fully revealed.

"Now that the treasure has appeared, Fellow Daoist, you may die."

"Fellow Daoist, are you determined to fight to the death? For such a minor grievance, do you truly intend to wipe me out?" The Purple Shrimp Ancestor raised his head and roared in fury.

Donghua's expression remained calm as he said indifferently, "Since a karmic bond has been forged, one must sever it to protect the Dao. How could I leave a lingering threat for later?"

Hearing this, the Purple Shrimp Ancestor's eyes blazed with cold light, and his anger surged:

"Courting death! Watch my divine ability—Myriad Transformations Corrosive Flow."

"Boom—!"

With him at the center, a viscous, ink-black purple poison mist erupted violently, blotting out the sky and covering the sun! This was no ordinary poisonous miasma; it was a lifebound divine ability imbued with the law of corrosive flow.

Where the poison mist reached, the vast azure sea below instantly turned into a pitch-black dead zone, all life extinguished.

A few cultivators who were slow to retreat were grazed by the edge of the poison mist. Their protective immortal light silently burned away like thin paper. Before they could even scream, their flesh dissolved into pus and blood, and their Primordial Spirits were eroded and melted away—body and soul utterly destroyed!

Facing this tide of destruction sweeping toward him, Donghua finally got serious.

He did not retreat but instead stepped forward and declared in a clear voice:

"A firefly's faint glow dares to vie with the Bright Moon?"

"Eternal Radiance, Shining Through the Ages."

Before his words faded, a blazing pure yang immortal light, like a sun descending upon the world, fully unfolded from within Donghua's body!

"Hiss—!!!"

The righteous pure yang immortal light clashed fiercely with the vile corrosive poison mist!

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a violent annihilation at the level of laws.

The Myriad Transformations Corrosive Flow, capable of corroding all things, upon touching the pure yang immortal light, melted away like snow thrown into a furnace, dissolving at an unprecedented speed and evaporating into nothing but smoke!

Under pure yang, all laws are void! No matter how your corrosive flow twists and changes, I break it with sheer force!

The sneer on the Purple Shrimp Ancestor's face froze completely, replaced by boundless terror.

His strongest divine ability had been shattered by the opponent in such an overwhelming manner!

"No... this can't be..."

Donghua gave him no further chance.

A pure yang finger force, condensed to the extreme, as if containing the very first ray of light at the dawn of creation, pierced through layers of poison mist, ignoring all spatial distance, and struck the Purple Shrimp Ancestor's brow.

The pure yang Dao principles instantly incinerated all his life force and Primordial Spirit.

The Purple Shrimp Ancestor's body stiffened, the light in his eyes completely dimmed, and only a single spark of true spirit, wrapped in endless regret, tried to flee.
