Chapter 460: Dragon Abyss Jade Platform, The Tipping Point
Chapter 460: Dragon Abyss Jade Platform, The Tipping Point
The elders of the Sea Spirit Clan had long fled to a safe distance the moment Xu Yan made his move, fearful of being caught in the crossfire.
At this moment, witnessing the terror of the Ten Directions Extinction Sword, they saw how Blood King Li's clone was instantly annihilated, how the Sky Cave was flattened, and how that streak of bloody light had vanished.
Their hearts trembled as they recalled the remnants of the aura from the Realm Gate in that area of the sea from long ago. Now, seeing it firsthand, they finally understood the true horror of Xu Yan's sword.
Gao Xueming's words had not been an exaggeration; they had fallen short of describing the might of this Sword Dao!
Sword God Xu Yan was truly unmatched under the heavens!
With a single sword strike, he had flattened the sea area, annihilated the Blood King's clone, and suppressed the Sky Cave.
Moreover, the lingering might of the Sword Dao made even an Immortal Venerable feel a sense of danger upon approaching.
Boom!
Suddenly, a sound of upheaval echoed from the distant horizon.
The Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan's expression changed. The other Great Sky Caves in the Azure Sea Realm were in turmoil, and any one of them could fall at any time.
He turned to Xu Yan and, after a moment's hesitation, flew towards him.
"This old man, the Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan, humbly requests Sword God Xu, to lend your aid in calming the crisis of the Sky Caves in the Azure Sea Realm. Our clan's treasures are open to you, and you may choose any item you desire!"
"I can choose any treasure I want?"
Xu Yan gave the Great Elder a second glance.
"Yes, you may choose any treasure you require!" the Great Elder said solemnly.
He quickly added, "Although our Sea Spirit Clan has declined, we still possess relics from ancient times that may pique your interest, Sword God Xu."
Xu Yan couldn't help but think of Cai Ling'er, his master's maid, who was a member of the Sea Spirit Clan and possessed the bloodline of the Sea Spirit Emperor. Under his master's guidance, she had activated her bloodline and received the Sea Spirit inheritance.
Perhaps there were ancient artifacts in the Sea Spirit Clan's treasury that would interest his master? Moreover, with these Sea Spirit treasures, his master would have suitable items to bestow upon his maid.
"Master's cultivation is too high. There are hardly any items that would catch his eye, but there might be some trifles that he can use to reward others."
With this thought, Xu Yan nodded and said, "Very well, I agree to your request."
"Thank you, Xu Yan!" The Great Elder of the Sea Spirit Clan was overjoyed.
To him, the Sea Spirit Clan had already declined, and those ancient artifacts might not necessarily be beneficial to the clan anymore.
Now that the Divine Realm was in turmoil and the situation was unpredictable, there was no telling when a powerful being would set their sights on those artifacts. It was better to use them to forge a friendship with Xu Yan.
If they could establish a bond, then should the Sea Spirit Clan face adversity in the future, Xu Yan might come to their aid.
With Xu Yan's might, any troubles the Sea Spirit Clan faced would surely be resolved with ease.
"The crisis in the Azure Sea Realm is not yet over, Sword God Xu," the Great Elder said, his face filled with anticipation.
"Alright, I shall go and calm the turbulent Sky Caves," Xu Yan nodded. He transmitted his voice to Xie Lingfeng, promising to meet again at Cloud Sky Island, and then departed with the Great Elder to the nearest turbulent Sky Cave.
"The crisis in the Azure Sea Realm has been averted!" Xie Tianheng sighed in relief as he stood beside his son.
Xu Yan was too powerful! After not seeing him for many years, his fame had spread throughout the Divine Realm. Now, witnessing his strength firsthand, they truly understood just how formidable he had become.
Killing an Immortal Venerable was as easy as squashing an ant.
"Let's return to Cloud Sky Island and wait for Brother Xu," Xie Lingfeng said happily.
The crisis in the Azure Sea Realm had come suddenly, but it was also swiftly resolved in a short time.
The name of Sword God Xu Yan resounded throughout the Azure Sea Realm. With his solitary power, he had quelled the turmoil of the Sky Caves, and from then on, the Sky Caves in the Azure Sea Realm would remain peaceful for a long time to come.
On Cloud Sky Island, in a small courtyard, Xu Yan and Xie Lingfeng reunited. Meanwhile, in a certain sea area of the Azure Sea Realm, a giant turtle lay across the entrance of a Sky Cave, covering it entirely. The cave entrance, measuring a square mile in size, emitted a dull, dark aura.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sounds of impact echoed from within the Sky Cave, but the giant turtle paid it no heed. Instead, it raised its head and gazed towards the sky.
"What a monster!"
The crisis in the Azure Sea Realm had been resolved so swiftly.
"This child might be able to take that step. With the gift of my Primordial Turtle Shell, even if he encounters danger, he will be able to escape and avoid an early demise.
"If he can take that step, then I haven't misjudged him. Once he obtains that opportunity, he will surely be able to contend with others."
Qionghai Turtle's eyes shone with anticipation.
"But, will the Great Desolate Heavens be able to endure until he takes that step?"
Soon after, Qionghai Turtle fell into deep thought.
Boom!
Sensing the impact from below the Sky Cave, Qionghai Turtle slightly adjusted his body, sticking his head into the cave. After a while, he withdrew his head and resumed his position, covering the entrance.
"What now?" Wind Spirit Tiger asked, immediately alert.
With a wave of his hand, Tian Shiqi summoned a jade platform from the depths of Dragon Abyss. Etched with intricate patterns and suffused with a mystical aura, the platform exuded an intimidating might.
"What is this?" Wind Spirit Tiger asked, astonished.
The tiger recognized the aura all too well—it was tiger might, stronger and of a higher bloodline than its own. The spiritual beast that left this aura possessed both a higher bloodline and greater strength.
"Remnants of the Heaven Tiger's might," Tian Shiqi explained. "It will help you activate your bloodline and break free from its shackles. Lie on the jade platform and let the Heaven Tiger's might stimulate your bloodline to its fullest potential."
Wind Spirit Tiger examined the jade platform before turning to Tian Shiqi, a hint of suspicion in its voice. "Are you sure about this, Tian Shiqi? Are you trying to pull a fast one on me?"
Tian Shiqi smiled. "Of course not. I told you, I need your help to invoke the might of the Heaven Tiger and attract a treasure. In return, you get a bloodline boost. It's a fair exchange. Just remember, that treasure is not for you to covet." His gaze turned sharp at the end.
Wind Spirit Tiger was reassured. The treasure must be extraordinary for Tian Shiqi to offer help with its bloodline activation in exchange for summoning the treasure. It all made sense.
"No problem," the tiger replied, striking its chest with a paw. "I, Wind Spirit Tiger, am no greedy creature."
"Excellent!" Tian Shiqi nodded.
"Then here I go!" Wind Spirit Tiger couldn't contain its excitement. It leaped into the air and landed on the jade platform in an instant.
Boom! The moment it landed, its formidable aura burst forth, filling the platform with tiger might. The massive tiger roared, its eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Tian Shiqi smiled, raised his hand, and pointed at the Dragon Abyss. Mist rose from the abyss, and chains of white light descended from the sky, enveloping the platform.
"Wind Spirit Tiger, remain on the jade platform and cultivate. When the time is right, the treasure will surely arrive!" Tian Shiqi declared.
"Understood!" Wind Spirit Tiger responded.
As it lay on the jade platform, Wind Spirit Tiger's eyes widened at the sight of a reddish-brown liquid the size of a fist within the platform. This liquid exuded an aura that filled the tiger with longing.
"Heaven Tiger's essence blood! And it's the True Spirit level!" Wind Spirit Tiger exclaimed in delight.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! It lay on the platform, breathing in the tiger might and stimulating its bloodline. As time passed, the essence blood within the platform gradually took on the shape of a tiger. Slowly, the tiger shape seemed to float upward, as if trying to leave the platform and enter Wind Spirit Tiger's body.
So focused was it that it didn't realize it was trapped on the platform, unable to discern the true situation beyond.
Above Dragon Abyss, the tiger might grew stronger, and an illusory silhouette of a giant tiger appeared. The chains seemed to be slowly tightening, as if pulling something down from the heavens.
Tian Shiqi watched silently. A beam of light shot through the sky, and a tiny spirit bird, no larger than a fist, landed on his shoulder.
This was a messenger spirit bird, and an extraordinary one at that. Its speed was incredible, almost transcending the level of spiritual beasts.
However, this type of spirit bird, even if it reached the True Spirit level, would only excel in speed and messaging. Its abilities in other areas were not particularly remarkable.
It was purely a speed-focused, messaging-oriented True Spirit.
"It's Xu Yan again!"
After reading the message, Tian Shiqi frowned slightly. Their plan in the Azure Sea Realm had failed due to Xu Yan's intervention, who had single-handedly averted the crisis.
He had even slain the clones of the two Blood Kings, effectively offending both major Blood Kings of the Underworld.
"The failure in the Underworld is not our fault."
Tian Shiqi smiled. The Underworld had done what it was supposed to, and their inability to establish a foothold in the Azure Sea Realm was their own problem.
After some contemplation, Tian Shiqi left a message, and the spirit bird swiftly departed.
"It's about to descend. The Earth Cloud Heaven Pit must also be prepared."
Tian Shiqi glanced at a certain spot and coldly hmphed before vanishing from his original spot.
Outside Dragon Abyss, an Immortal Venerable furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with astonishment and suspicion.
"What's happening in Dragon Abyss? This oppressive might is incredibly powerful and unusual. What are those chains pulling on?"
The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he became.
Just as he was about to leave, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed him.
"Not good!"
The Immortal Venerable's expression changed drastically, and he unleashed all his secret techniques in that instant.
However, the hand merely clenched, and he was annihilated!
Tian Shiqi's figure appeared.
"The matter of Dragon Abyss must not be leaked. For the next period, I must stay here to oversee the traction process. As for the other tasks of the Heaven Shadow Alliance, they are not that important."
His figure disappeared into the clouds, silently guarding the place. A few days later, an Immortal beast came to investigate Dragon Abyss and was obliterated by a palm strike.
The Divine Realm was currently at a critical juncture, and the turmoil continued.
The Heaven Pit became calm, with few disturbances. Many powerful beings who had been stationed there were now free to act.
All signs indicated that the situation in the Divine Realm was unusual, as if it were at a tipping point.
In the Wind River Realm, Jiang Buling entered a Heaven Pit, one filled with indestructible aura.
"Jiang Buling has entered the Heaven Pit!"
"It's time to make our move. Success or failure depends on this moment."
Several Immortal Venerables spoke in low voices.
"The elders of Yun Shangzong, the elders of the Taikun Jiang clan, regarding Jiang Buling's secret technique, let's share it together. Do you have any objections?"
"No objections. We just need to disable him and bring him back to the Taikun Realm. If necessary, we can even bring back his corpse."
"Very well, then!"
The area outside the Heaven Pit had already been cleared, and even the large city not far from the pit was empty.
Powerful figures appeared at the entrance of the Heaven Pit, each holding a divine artifact as they collaboratively set up a blockade, sealing the pit's entrance.
"Jiang Buling is going to be trapped in the Heaven Pit! He's too careless!"
"It's not carelessness, but overconfidence. He thinks he's invincible!"
"This time, Jiang Buling will undoubtedly die."
Some well-informed warriors sighed.
"Should we lend Jiang Buling a hand?"
Hong Er asked in a low voice.
"No need. If Jiang Buling can't get past this hurdle, it means he doesn't have the strength to deal with Meng Chong."
Hong Yi shook his head.
Meng Chong was even more terrifying than they had imagined. With his solitary power, he had pierced through two realms, suppressed the turmoil, invaded the Heaven Pit, and annihilated all the Immortal-level extraterrestrial foes. He was exceptionally formidable.
The powerful beings who received the news silently watched, anticipating the upcoming earth-shattering battle. Would Jiang Buling sweep away numerous powerful foes, or would he perish here?
