Where does its confidence come from?
Shen Ling's smile remained unchanged, but she was wary in her heart. She never looked down on the natives of this world. Back then, her group had suffered a lot at the hands of these natives. Although the West Sea Dragon King was not a powerful figure among the many demons, he knew their true identities.
It's terrifying when an NPC knows what you are; if they've been preparing for so long, they must have something to hide.
"I'm very curious," Shen Ling said, looking at the other person. "The aptitude of all species in the world, especially demons, is fixed. Just as you said, no matter how hard they try, there is no limit. Even if you kill me today and take my Dao Fruit, you still won't become a Venerable. What are you trying to achieve by taking such a risk?"
"The aptitude is fixed, but the gameplay is ever-changing!" The West Sea Dragon King sneered. "This is a saying I once heard from one of my fellow countrymen, and I wholeheartedly agree!"
"You're just a fixed program, how can you possibly come up with anything interesting?" Shen Ling laughed.
The West Sea Dragon King also laughed, but as he laughed, his pupils turned scarlet!
Shen Ling's heart tightened instantly!
"I see."
So that's how the Ancient Demon Clan is.
However, that's all there is to it. Most demons and monsters in the world have their strength fixed due to their race, which is why humans have a chance to turn the tide. This is the general rule. However, some races are exceptions. They are not strong themselves, but they rely heavily on external things.
For example, A Li relies on the luck of the human race to grow, and the Ancient Demon, despite being weak, can become incredibly powerful through parasitism.
Cooperating with the Ancient Demon is indeed a good approach.
"So you'd rather lose yourself than not do it?"
"That's still better than becoming someone else's food."
As soon as the Dragon King finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand, transforming his finger into a sword. A soaring sword intent rose up, and almost instantly the surrounding air was completely cut by that sword intent. Probably no one would have thought that this West Sea Dragon King was actually a top-notch swordsman!
"You must have put in a lot of hard work, right?" Shen Ling was only slightly surprised to see this. Dragon King were skilled in magic, but among the Four Dragon King, she had never heard of any Dragon King was good at martial arts. The fact that Ao Zhen, who had traveled all over the world and possessed the body of a true dragon, was also a top-notch martial artist was unprecedented within the Dragon Clan. She never expected that this West Sea Dragon King, hidden in the shadows, would have a martial arts cultivation level even stronger than her unconventional daughter!
"It took quite a bit of effort," the Dragon King said calmly. "My silly daughter's path was actually quite correct, and thanks to her, I realized that I could also increase my strength in this way."
"It's only a little bit left," Shen Ling said without blinking. "What can you do about it?"
The sword intent was strong, but not enough to cut through the Blazing Yang Grand Formation!
"Senior, please look!" The Dragon King snorted coldly, his sword intent soaring into the sky like a lightning bolt. The water vapor condensed in the sky fell down like a reversed Heavenly River.
But a drop of water formed on the Dragon King's sword intent. Though small, the droplet was dazzling, like a star illuminating the world!
" Heavenly One Divine Water Technique." Shen Ling nodded. "You've certainly got a good plan."
The Shen Family's several forbidden techniques all originated from the Dragon Palace. Within the Dragon Palace, even the Dragon King can only inherit one of these forbidden techniques. The East Sea primarily uses the Thousand Mechanism Thread and Azure Dragon Technique, while the South Sea primarily uses the Nanming Divine Fire.
The West Sea and the North Sea often have different lineages. In terms of combat power, the Divine Wind Technique of the West Sea is naturally more powerful. The West Sea Dragon King of all generations have also preferred to cultivate this technique. The Divine Water Technique has made more contributions, and its effect on nourishing the water area is stronger than its effect on fighting enemies. It is generally practiced by the elders who pass on their skills.
She had always thought that the West Sea Dragon King had learned the Mystic Ice Technique or the Divine Wind Technique, but she never expected that he had actually learned the Heavenly One Divine Water, which was Shen Laosan's technique!
"You deliberately set up the Blazing Yang Grand Formation for Chen Qing, didn't you?" Shen Ling immediately realized what was going on.
Actually, she was puzzled at first. Logically speaking, the Divine Wind Grand Formation should have a more complete heritage in the West Sea, and Chen Qing should have studied this direction first. However, she did not expect that the first national protection formation she researched was the Blazing Yang Grand Formation. At first, she thought it was an accident, but now it seems that it was not.
"Senior, your insight is truly remarkable!" The West Sea Dragon King laughed. "The original plan was to scheme against the King of Qin, who almost sealed away all the ancient beings. Deep in the South Sea, I had already reserved the power of the golem. Then, in the alien laboratory, I secretly cultivated the Heavenly Ghost Octopus. Once that thing breaks through its limits, it will have the power to destroy the world. Before the spiritual energy recovers, no one can stop it. If the King of Qin wants to stop it, he can only use the evil fire power of that golem!"
"Once that's used, its power won't be wasted. In the inheritance room, I intentionally or unintentionally left behind more of the Blazing Fire Grand Formation's inheritance. Coupled with the Heavenly Python's fear of fire, as long as he's not stupid, he'll know what to choose."
"Not bad, not bad." Shen Ling clapped her hands with a smile, "You've really planned this well. You're far superior to the previous Dragon King!"
He secretly guided Chen Qing step by step to form this Blazing Yang Grand Formation. Once he emerged from seclusion, the first thing he would do was find an array to use for his own purposes. This readily available Blazing Yang Grand Formation would certainly not be overlooked. His calculations were truly meticulous.
No matter how powerful the Blazing Yang Grand Formation is, the principle of mutual restraint among the five elements still exists, and the Heavenly One Divine Water is its nemesis!
"You flatter me, senior. I'll take your challenge!"
The Dragon King's eyes blazed with crimson light, and the dazzling water droplet in his hand, imbued with terrifying sword intent, slashed directly at the great formation. The endless water vapor, like Heavenly River, if it were to spread out, could almost cover the entire Jiangnan, engulfing the Blazing Yang Grand Formation!
Even so, the powerful Heavenly Fire instantly evaporated the massive amount of water, and the terrifying sword intent, even with the Heavenly One Divine Water, still failed to break through the formation's defenses!
"Tsk tsk."
The massive amount of water vapor almost instantly enveloped the entire Liuzhou City in a thick fog, but Shen Ling wore a mocking expression.
"What a pity! You've calculated so much, but you overlooked one crucial step!" Shen Ling sneered at the other party. "I'm afraid you didn't expect that the group of children Chen Qing found could evolve the Blazing Yang Grand Formation to this extent, did you?"
The West Sea Dragon King remained silent. In truth, he had not expected that a group of humans, in just a few years, would not only completely inherit the Dragon Palace's magic array techniques, but also surpass them, improving the magic arrays to such an extent that they were more than ten times stronger than the original!
"Tsk tsk, even I have to say, the kids Chen Qing found are really smart."
Shen Ling's words were not sarcastic. As the most skilled in formations among the Heavenly Venerable Venerables, he could see the intricacy of the Blazing Yang Grand Formation at a glance. Chen Qing and his formation masters have a bright future. With a little training, they may be able to create formations that can trap King Level in the future. If they can continue to grow, it is not impossible for them to create formations that can rival the formations of the Heavenly Venerable Venerables.
They're all promising talents, and I can't bear to destroy them. Controlling them with insects would be a waste of their potential, which is really troublesome.
"It's alright!" the West Sea Dragon King replied calmly. "I never intended to succeed in one go anyway."
Suddenly, the terrifying water vapor rose rapidly, forming a dense, watery mist in the sky once more.
Shen Ling was stunned by this scene. How much spiritual power would it take for these water vapors to gather so quickly? Did the other side prepare an army of sorcerers?
That's not right. According to the intelligence, it's already impressive that this guy was able to thaw himself out of the freeze. Where did he get the nourishment to prepare a legion of warlocks of this caliber?
Confused, she looked up at the sky, her face instantly turning icy cold.
Amidst the dark clouds, a colossal figure moved about, its shadow almost engulfing the entire Jiangnan.
" King Level Heavenly Python!" Shen Ling's pupils constricted. "Are you crazy?"
