Blood Battle Begins! Peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal!

Winds and clouds surged; the mountain rain was on its way.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan all rushed toward the Eastern Sea Spring Eye, while the aquatic clans of the Four Seas lurked in the shadows, converging upon the Eastern Sea. For a time, the oppressive atmosphere grew ever heavier.

Eastern Sea Spring Eye.

Like a vortex of endless darkness, it churned the boundless seawater into violent turbulence. Strange and mysterious auras seeped out from the Eastern Sea Spring Eye, and the eyes of every Dragon Clan creature brimmed with tears.

Since the Dragon-Han First Calamity came to an end, countless Dragon Clan forebears had stepped forward and entered the Eastern Sea Spring Eye to sort through the savage, terrifying chaotic currents, stabilizing the earth veins and water veins of the Four Seas.

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

A grief-stricken mood spread among the dragons. At the forefront, Ao Qin, Ao Run, and Ao Shun wore grave expressions as they looked down at the Eastern Sea Spring Eye below.

"Brother Ao Guang has not sent word. I wonder how he is doing now?"

"Now even the aquatic clans of the Four Seas are stirring. Under Ji Meng and Immortal Dingguang's instructions, they are hiding in the shadows. If they break through our defenses, the Dragon Clan seniors sorting out the chaotic currents within the Eastern Sea Spring Eye will be in danger."

Ao Qin spoke in a deep voice.

The Eastern Sea Spring Eye frequently erupted in turmoil.

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

Otherwise, once it erupted completely, all the waters of the Four Seas would flow backward into the Eastern Sea Spring Eye. Then, once they had accumulated to a certain critical point, they would pour forth all at once. When that time came, the entire Primordial World would turn into a vast ocean.

If the Dragon Clan could not stop the aquatic clans of the Four Seas, the karmic sin they would bear would become shackles they could never cast off. Moreover, the dragons within the Eastern Sea Spring Eye would suffer backlash and perish.

"At all costs, hold back the aquatic rebel army!"

"Whether by self-destruction or perishing together, so long as they are Dragon Clan warriors who fall defending the Eastern Sea Spring Eye, they will receive the protection of the Heavenly Dao's order, have the shackles of the Heavenly Dao washed from their bodies, and enter reincarnation."

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

Clad in a black robe, Ao Shun spoke with utter solemnity.

The sound of dragon roars rang without end, echoing beside every Dragon Clan warrior's ears. In an instant, all of them became united as one, unafraid of death or injury.

To fall for the blessings of the Four Seas was no disgrace to them!

"Courting death!"

"These Dragon Clan creatures are all stubborn beyond redemption. The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are also like stones in a latrine—both foul and unyielding. Now they have actually rallied the Dragon Clan, intending to wage a bloody battle against the aquatic clans of the Four Seas outside the Eastern Sea Spring Eye."

"Demon Sage, I am worried that unforeseen changes may arise."

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

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

But now, the Dragon Clan gave Immortal Dingguang the feeling that they truly intended to fight to the death and hold the Eastern Sea Spring Eye at all costs.

At that, Ji Meng narrowed his eyes and said, "Do not be fooled by their lack of fear for death now. Once the battle 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 soon!

With Ji Meng and Immortal Dingguang's approval, the mighty aquatic clans of the Four Seas transformed into a raging flood. Endless baleful qi and killing intent swept across the heavens as they charged toward the Eastern 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 in fury. The aura of peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortals burst forth as they transformed into killing machines and charged into the aquatic clans of the Four Seas. 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 Eastern Sea Spring Eye. Why not embrace such a bargain?"

A figure appeared, clad in heavy turtle armor carved with ancient and evil runes. Thunder laws rolled around his body, and the imposing aura of an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal pressed down upon the three Dragon Kings present.

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

Yet over countless ages, the other aquatic clans had accumulated their foundations. Now that the Mysterious Yin Thunder Turtle Clan possessed sufficient strength, coupled with Immortal Dingguang and Ji Meng's instigation, this Mysterious Yin Thunder Turtle Clan chief did not hesitate to bare his fangs.

"During the Dragon-Han First Calamity, the Dragon Clan incurred sinful karma."

"Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao is merciful and bestowed upon my Dragon Clan the duty of guarding the Eastern Sea Spring Eye. Though we must bear the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, my Dragon Clan has never neglected its duty."

"You ants and mayflies dare act so presumptuously!"

Ao Qin circulated his mana. After exchanging glances with Ao Run and Ao Shun, they ignited their own essence blood and dragon souls, surrounding the Mysterious Yin Thunder Turtle Clan chief.

In an instant, the bloody battle erupted!

Facing an early-stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, the three Dragon Kings did not fall into a disadvantage. Relying on their formidable dragon bodies, they slaughtered in all directions like ancient gods fighting amid bloodshed.

Their blood boiled as dragon roars rang out in waves.

The Four Seas Dragon Clan formed battle formations and guarded the Eastern Sea Spring Eye, facing the assault of the aquatic clans of the Four Seas head-on.

Blood dyed the Eastern Sea crimson, and the howls lingered for a long while.

Penglai Immortal Island.

Demonic qi intertwined with golden merit light. Lingxiao absorbed all the origins of the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Merit Golden Lotus before him; even the Nirvana Demonic Light and Nine Nether Demon Fire fused into one with him.

"I've reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm!"

"To forge the foundation of a thirty-sixth-grade World-Purifying White Lotus, I still need to refine the Karmic Fire Red Lotus, the Taiyi Whisk, and the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. But even so, my foundation has now become incomparably stable."

Lingxiao opened his eyes and murmured to himself.

Before attaining the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal Dao, Lingxiao wanted to evolve his foundation to the thirty-sixth grade. His purpose was to condense his Great Luo Three Flowers to perfection when he attained the Dao, standing shoulder to shoulder with the foremost Chaos Demon Gods.

Nine grades at the peak, twelve grades at perfection!

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

"Congratulations on reaching the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm! Perhaps before long, your strength will be able to suppress even this palace mistress..."

Wangshu parted her red lips and spoke with a smile.

Her eyes appraised Lingxiao, carrying a different sort of meaning. Beyond the rich tenderness in them were undisguised admiration and affection.

"You're teasing me again!"

"How could a mere peak Primordial Unity Golden Immortal compare to a Primordial Golden Immortal like you?"

Lingxiao caught Wangshu's jade-like hand and scratched her palm.

When their gazes met by accident, a faint blush quietly rose on Wangshu's face.

"The aquatic clans of the Four Seas are attacking the Eastern Sea Spring Eye. Among them are no lack of cultivators at the early Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. With only those three Dragon Kings, I fear they cannot stop them at all!"

"Lingxiao, do you think the Dragon Clan's reclusive great experts will intervene?"

Wangshu spoke gently and calmly.

Ancestral Dragon, Candle Dragon, and the others had fallen during the Dragon-Han First Calamity, but Azure Dragon had become one of the sacred beasts, suppressing the Primordial World in the far east. Could he really watch helplessly as the Dragon Clan was destroyed?

"If the Dragon Clan's great experts reveal themselves, then Immortal Dingguang and Ji Meng's conspiracy will collapse without being attacked. But doing so would not conform to the methods of the Heavenly Dao. If they wish to let the Dragon Clan break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao, they would do best to watch coldly from the sidelines."

"Every Dragon Clan creature that dies in battle will receive the cleansing of Heavenly Dao Merit, then earn the Heavenly Dao's pity. When they enter reincarnation, not all of their memories will be completely erased."

"Once they succeed in cultivation and their memories of past lives reappear, they will become the Dragon Clan's staunchest pillars once more!"

Lingxiao remained calm and composed as he pinched Wangshu's jade-like hand and explained.

After becoming the Qinghua Emperor of the Eastern Extremity, his understanding of the order of the Heavenly Dao had grown clearer and more thorough. Moreover, he did not blindly submit to the Heavenly Dao. Instead, he rode the current of circumstance, achieving his own aims while following Heaven and honoring the Dao.

If the Dragon Clan's great experts saw through the situation, they should not stick a foot into it and defy the Heavenly Dao.

"Then it seems the Dragon Clan is destined to suffer a cruel battle!"

Wangshu spoke thoughtfully, nodding lightly.

As she spoke, Wangshu took the initiative to lean toward Lingxiao. Their expressions turned intimate, and before long they were wrapped up in each other, paying no heed to the great war between the Dragon Clan and the aquatic clans of the Four Seas.

Time flowed on, and all things shifted beneath the changing heavens.

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

The three Dragon Kings' auras were waning. They had paid an enormous price merely to kill the Mysterious Yin Thunder Turtle Clan's patriarch. Looking around, they saw Dragon Clan warriors falling one after another, yet they had no power to reverse the battle.

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

Their auras soared into the heavens—they were both Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals!
