The Great Principle Strikes, the Dharma Body's Foot Falls!

The moment the Blackwater Dragon Pearl rose.

The seawater around Guixu changed color.

The Blackwater, which had been suppressed into deathly silence by the Black Tortoise Sea-Calming Formation, suddenly seemed to have been awakened by some ancient power.

Strands of pitch-black Dragon aura rose from the seabed.

The Blackwater Dragon King's enormous true body coiled outside the formation. Thunder faintly coursed through the gaps in his Dragon scales as they opened and closed.

That Dragon Pearl hovered before his Dragon head.

Within the Dragon Pearl, there seemed to be an endless black sea.

"Black Tortoise."

The Blackwater Dragon King's voice was low and imposing.

"I admit that your formation has some tricks to it."

"But trying to block me with a single Dharma Body is far too presumptuous."

As his words fell.

The Blackwater Dragon Pearl suddenly trembled.

Boom!

An incomparably thick pillar of Blackwater light blasted out from the Dragon Pearl.

Wherever the beam passed, the Return Ruins Heavy Water was forcibly torn apart.

The first curtain of light of the Black Tortoise Sea-Calming Formation shook violently from the impact.

Countless Guixu cultivators atop Dragon-Suppressing Pass turned pale.

This was the true might of a Great Principle Golden Immortal's attack.

The Golden Immortals and Supreme Unity Golden Immortals who had entered the formation earlier had been fierce, but they could still gradually be suppressed through the formation, the Book of Cause and Effect, and the Realm Guard.

Once the Blackwater Dragon King made his move, the entire Dragon-Suppressing Pass seemed to be facing the raging tide of the true Northern Sea.

Han Jue gripped his spear tightly, veins bulging across the back of his hand.

He desperately wanted to charge out.

But every instinct in his body told him that if he dared step outside Dragon-Suppressing Pass, he likely would not even withstand the aftermath of a single strike from the Blackwater Dragon Pearl.

Ao Lie coiled outside the outer gate, his Dragon body taut to the limit as well.

He knew his father's strength too well.

The Blackwater Dragon King might not rank among the very strongest Great Principle Golden Immortals, but he was still the true pillar of the Blackwater Dragon Palace.

Even in the Northern Sea, he was powerful enough to suppress an entire region.

If Guixu could not stop this blow, Dragon-Suppressing Pass would be completely shattered today.

Lan Shuang stood atop the pass wall, the Book of Cause and Effect in her hands flipping frantically.

Layers of black-and-white radiance descended, trying to suppress the karmic sins of slaughter upon the Blackwater Dragon King.

Yet the Blackwater Dragon King was, after all, a Great Principle Golden Immortal.

The sins of slaughter upon him were immense, but they were also suppressed by the Dragon Clan's Fortune within him.

The Book of Cause and Effect was still only in its infancy and could not directly suppress such a Great Principle powerhouse.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Lan Shuang's lips.

Lady Mingzhu hurried forward to support her.

"Lan Shuang!"

Lan Shuang raised a hand, signaling that she was fine.

"Hold on."

"The Emperor's Dharma Body is still here."

At this moment.

The Guixu Dharma Body hovered above Dragon-Suppressing Pass.

The ten-thousand-foot phantom of the Black Tortoise still appeared calm.

But Lu Chen was not nearly as composed as he looked.

Deep within Guixu.

Lu Chen stared at the Blackwater Dragon King's Dragon Pearl and could not help cursing inwardly.

This old Dragon really has some skills.

No wonder he can rule the Northern Sea.

The Blackwater Dragon King's blow had already caused tiny cracks to appear in the first layer of the Black Tortoise Sea-Calming Formation.

If Dragon-Suppressing Pass had not just been completed, and if it had not been bolstered by the Xuanshui Water Vein and the Guixu Womb Membrane, that strike alone would have been enough to collapse the outer gate.

The gap between a Great Principle Golden Immortal and an ordinary Golden Immortal was indeed absurdly vast.

Lu Chen was glad that he had not gone out in his true body.

Though his Black Tortoise True Body was formidable, once he revealed it, he would be fully exposed to the Dragon Clan's eyes.

That would only bring even greater trouble.

So he had to resolve this with his Dharma Body now.

Seeing that one strike had failed to destroy Dragon-Suppressing Pass, a chill flashed through the Blackwater Dragon King's Dragon eyes.

"Again."

The Blackwater Dragon Pearl spun once more.

This time, nine black Dragon phantoms emerged from within the pearl.

Nine Dragons surged forth together.

Every black Dragon was formed from Blackwater Law, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged at Dragon-Suppressing Pass.

The three thousand Blackwater Dragon Army soldiers were greatly emboldened by the sight.

"Glory to the Dragon King!"

"Level Dragon-Suppressing Pass!"

"Rescue the Third Prince!"

The Dragon Army's roars echoed throughout the outskirts of Guixu.

The Guixu clans looked grave.

Han Jue stared at the nine black Dragon phantoms and gritted his teeth. "Realm Guard, hold the pass walls!"

The eight hundred Realm Guard cultivators formed a formation in unison.

They knew full well that they could not intervene in a battle of Great Principle Golden Immortals, yet they still poured their spiritual power into the formation runes of Dragon-Suppressing Pass.

The Mystic Clam Tribe cultivators also took out spirit pearls one after another and embedded them into the formation nodes on the pass walls.

The Cold Whale Tribe, Cold Sand Clan, Merfolk Tribe, Water Ape Tribe—every Guixu being capable of contributing poured their own power into Dragon-Suppressing Pass at that moment.

They knew that the key to victory lay with the Emperor's Dharma Body.

But neither were they willing to stand there and wait for the Emperor's protection.

Guixu was their Guixu.

Dragon-Suppressing Pass was their Dragon-Suppressing Pass.

They, too, would contribute to this battle.

Seeing this, an indescribable emotion surged through Lan Shuang's heart.

Guixu had truly changed.

Once, these clans would only flee.

Now, they dared stand before the Dragon Clan and defend the pass.

In the sky.

The nine black Dragon phantoms had already crashed toward the formation.

At that moment, the Guixu Dharma Body finally moved.

The Black Tortoise phantom slowly raised one foot.

Its movement was very slow.

Slow enough for everyone to see clearly.

Yet the instant that foot descended, the entire Ruins Sea Eye trembled with it.

Boom!

The Return Ruins Heavy Water surged upward in reverse, transforming into nine black water chains that wrapped around the nine black Dragon phantoms.

The black Dragon phantoms struggled madly.

Blackwater Law exploded without cease.

But those water chains came from the depths of the Ruins Sea Eye, carrying a crushing weight capable of devouring all things.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The nine black Dragon phantoms were dragged into the Return Ruins Heavy Water together, shattering into black mist that filled the sky.

Atop Dragon-Suppressing Pass, the Guixu clans erupted into earth-shaking cheers.

The Blackwater Dragon King's expression, however, grew even gloomier.

"Borrowing the power of the Ruins Sea Eye?"

"Your Dharma Body is more troublesome than I expected."

He stopped probing.

His massive Dragon body suddenly swung.

The Blackwater Dragon Pearl hovered above his head as the sea across ten thousand miles pressed down on Dragon-Suppressing Pass along with his movement.

This was a Great Principle Golden Immortal using his own laws to forcibly crush the formation.

He intended to use the most direct method to pulverize Dragon-Suppressing Pass and the Black Tortoise Sea-Calming Formation together.

Feeling that pressure, Lu Chen's heart sank.

"If he hits it a few more times, Dragon-Suppressing Pass really won't hold."

He had originally intended to use the Dharma Body to slowly wear down the Blackwater Dragon King.

Now, it seemed that dragging things out would only make problems more likely.

He had to make this old Dragon suffer in one blow.

Deep within Guixu, Lu Chen's Primordial Spirit stirred.

The Guixu Womb Membrane silently expanded.

The stretch of sea where Dragon-Suppressing Pass stood suddenly seemed to vanish from its original position for an instant.

The Blackwater Dragon King's crushing force of law struck nothing but empty space.

His Dragon pupils suddenly contracted.

"Spatial displacement?"

The next instant.

The Guixu Dharma Body had already appeared above his head.

The ten-thousand-foot Black Tortoise phantom raised its forefoot.

There was no flashy divine ability.

Nor was there any heaven-shaking sword light.

There was only one word.

Heavy.

Weight taken to the extreme.

It was as if the entire Ruins Sea Eye had been pressed into that single foot.

Boom!

The Blackwater Dragon King's enormous true Dragon body was forcefully stomped downward by that foot, sinking ten thousand feet.

Dragon scales burst apart.

Dragon blood rained down.

The Blackwater Dragon Pearl's radiance shook violently.

"Roar!"

The Blackwater Dragon King roared in fury.

He forcibly raised his head, thunder exploding from his Dragon horns as he tried to thrust the Guixu Dharma Body away.

But the Guixu Dharma Body sank once more.

The second foot fell.
