Chapter 585: Divine Ability's Initial Display of Power

"Do you sense it?"

Huang Wenfa stood outside the Treasure Land, his expression gradually growing solemn.

As the leader of the Mountain Movers Sect, although he didn't share the same sentiment as his disciples below, thinking that the Southern Flood was full of barbarians, he couldn't help but feel a bit arrogant.

After all, with the close interactions between the three Floods, his experiences had broadened, and his perspective had naturally risen.

It was only after meeting Shen Zongzhu that Huang Wenfa changed this notion, but even then, it was only directed at Shen Yi alone.

But after coming here in person, he realized that things were not as he had imagined.

So many Greater Demons had gathered in the Southern Flood, yet until today, they hadn't received any news of unrest. It was as if these Greater Demons had mysteriously disappeared after entering the Southern Flood.

Even in such a terrifying situation, the Southern Seven Sons seemed to be able to temporarily suppress it, and their profound foundation was probably beyond his expectations.

Moreover, within a short period, a Heaven Realm Cultivator had fallen, yet the Southern Flood still appeared calm and peaceful on the surface, which was simply absurd.

The more Huang Wenfa looked at the waters before him, the more unfathomable they seemed.

The only arrangement Shen Zongzhu had made for them was to watch for any unexpected occurrences in this place and act as a forward scout to prevent other Demons from entering.

Huang Wenfa initially felt a bit uncomfortable, thinking that he was being taken lightly. Although he couldn't compare to Shen Zongzhu's monstrous abilities, he still had some strength to rely on. This time, he had specifically brought Elder Cheng with him, and it wasn't just for show; he had sincerely come to assist. How could he not be allowed to fight against Demons?

Now, he was changing his mind again.

Being a forward scout didn't seem as easy as he had thought.

The faintly stirring aura from beneath the water was quite frightening.

"I'll go inform Shen Zongzhu."

Cheng Xiaoyuan shifted his gaze from the waters, and although he had heard many rumors about Shen Yi from Huang Zongzhu, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

To be honest, he didn't think that even if Shen Zongzhu knew about this, he could do much. Most likely, he would just pretend not to have seen it.

However, all of this was none of his concern.

In this situation, he only needed to do as instructed, and the rest was beyond the scope of what the Mountain Movers Sect could help with. It was better to leave the headache to the Southern Seven Sons.

Thinking this, Cheng Xiaoyuan reached out to retrieve a jade slip, preparing to contact Shen Yi, but he heard a familiar young man's voice coming from the jade slip first.

"I need to trouble you two again."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt tense.

What did this mean? Were they being asked to fight against a Heaven Realm Demon, risking their lives again?

That was a bit too much.

To be honest, if Shen Yi really asked, with Huang Zongzhu's character, he would most likely not refuse.

However, the voice from the jade slip didn't give him much time to consider. It directly said, "Please wait a moment. I need you to use the Mountain Stabilization Technique to contain the heavenly phenomenon within the Southern Flood's territory and try to prevent it from spreading too much to the Western Flood."

"Ah?"

Cheng Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment, not quite reacting in time.

What heavenly phenomenon? Huang Wenfa also heard the voice from the jade slip, and after a few breaths of hesitation, his face changed, and he shouted towards the Treasure Flower Sect Master in the distance, "Fellow Daoist! Hurry back to the Treasure Land! Don't get caught in the crossfire!"

This abrupt statement left the Treasure Flower Sect Master bewildered, but she instinctively obeyed and quickly flew back towards the Treasure Land.

"What do you mean?" Cheng Xiaoyuan looked at him in confusion.

However, Huang Wenfa didn't intend to explain. Instead, he stared intently at the waters beneath him. Based on his understanding of Shen Zongzhu, with just those words, he feared that he would have to broaden his horizons today.

It was as if Huang Zongzhu's guess was being proven.

In an instant, the Blue Sea and Green Sky suddenly solidified, as if even the air had turned into a tangible substance, making it hard to breathe. It was as if an invisible giant hand descended from the heavens, forcefully breaking through the water's surface, creating a hundred-zhang-tall wave while forming a deep chasm in the middle of the waters for several thousand li. Then, the invisible hand clenched and, within a few breaths, two furious dragon roars echoed through the clouds.

Roar—

The moment this dragon roar sounded, even the Treasure Flower Sect Master couldn't help but turn around in shock.

She was all too familiar with one of those dragon roars.

During the days when the Southern Dragon King was still asleep, the owner of this voice was the true ruler of the entire Southern Flood. Whether they were Demons or Cultivators, all could only survive under his authority.

How could the Southern Dragon Prince suddenly appear at the border between the Southwest and Western Floods? Moreover, someone had taken such decisive action against this Prince without even a word!

In fact, Huang Wenfa didn't need to say more; just from this familiar cultivation technique, Cheng Xiaoyuan could roughly guess the identity of the person who had arrived.

He just never imagined that Shen Zongzhu's strength would be so formidable, even surpassing Huang Zongzhu's extremely exaggerated descriptions.

He had initially thought that Shen Zongzhu was being overly praised, but it turned out that he had actually been quite modest.

"You blind fool!"

A Jade-Horned Silver Dragon, larger than its kin, soared into the sky, stirring up the clouds and wind. It stretched out its dragon claws and let out an ear-splitting roar, "Do you know who I am?"

Meanwhile, a Yellow Plague Venom Dragon hovered in the air, its eyes cold and piercing as it gazed forward.

After a moment, its voice rasped, deep and filled with endless malice, "Nanyang Zongzhu, you're quite the formidable one."

This familiar tactic had left a deep impression on it during the banquet.

The two Dragon Sons had indeed recognized the current situation in Southern Flood, understanding that their defeat was certain. However, this didn't mean they believed they would lose their lives; they were merely avoiding the sharp edge of the blade for now and hadn't reached the point of fleeing for their lives.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so careless on their way here, allowing the two Earth Realm Cultivators from Mountain Movers Sect to discover their presence.

It was unwise to pursue a desperate enemy, as it could lead to unexpected consequences.

Upon hearing these words, Treasure Flower Sect Master was stunned once again, beginning to doubt her own ears.

Nanyang... Zongzhu.

Could such a terrifying display have come from the hands of that young man?

The next moment, amidst the clear blue sky, black clouds suddenly spread, spanning the entire sky and quickly darkening the entire atmosphere.

At the edge of these clouds, a tall and slender figure strode out, standing quietly in front of the two Dragon Demons, blocking their path to Western Flood.

"..."

Shen Yi remained silent, but his very presence caused Qi Zhaoyi's eyelids to twitch slightly, not out of fear, but from the surging frustration and anger within.

As the legitimate firstborn son of Western Dragon Palace, although he didn't bear the title of prince, anyone who saw him would address him as Dragon Lord.

Yet here he was, on his way back to the palace, being stopped so brazenly. Judging by the other party's attitude, they seemed to have the intention to kill both him and Qi Zhaoyi.

The youth's calm gaze was reminiscent of the look he had given the dragon that was forcibly held down and slaughtered during the banquet.

Such arrogance from a junior!

"You didn't come alone just to fight to the death. What is it you wish to discuss?" Ke Family Prince noticed that there was no sign of Ye Jiu or Ji Jingxi nearby, and finally calmed down. He slightly raised his head and looked at Shen Yi with a hint of admiration.

Based on his understanding of Nanyang Zongzhu, he knew that the other party wasn't the type to recklessly rush to their death. They must have a solid plan to retreat.

Therefore, Ke Family Prince also put away his killing intent.

In his current situation, he could chat with anyone, even the leader of Southern Flood's Seven Sons.

However, the next moment, Ke Family Prince's expression froze, and the cold intent in his eyes almost overflowed.

Shen Yi stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the two Dragon Demons. Finally, he spoke softly, "Who's first?"

Before the two stunned Dragon Sons could respond, Shen Yi shook his head slightly, "Never mind, let's do it together."

His clear voice, coupled with his calm demeanor, inexplicably made everyone present feel a strong sense of ridicule and mockery.

Huang Wenfa opened his mouth, and even felt that Shen Zongzhu seemed somewhat unfamiliar.

Was this how the other party acted in Southern Flood? When he was in Western Flood, he had thought that this young sect leader was too hot-blooded, but it turned out that he had been deliberately restraining himself.

"This..."

Treasure Flower Sect Master also forgot that she still had to return to her treasure land and stared blankly at the sky horizon.

For some reason, she suddenly saw the shadow of another person in this young man—equally arrogant, equally indifferent.

Initially, Xuan Qing had faced the proud cultivators of Hongze, while Shen Zongzhu faced... the older generation of Heaven Realm experts from Hongze, who had been famous for a long time! The gap between them was like the difference between clouds and mud.

Even the bystanders reacted in this way, let alone the two Dragon Sons who were directly confronted with these words.

Qi Zhaoyi's dragon body slowly circled in the sky, but the claws he quietly extended and the increasingly glaring jade horn on his forehead almost revealed his temporary decision to stay in Southern Flood.

At least before leaving, he needed to dispel the restless killing intent in his heart.

Ke Family Prince once again carefully scanned the surroundings, confirming that it wasn't a trap, before turning his gaze back to Shen Yi. With a hint of admiration, he said, "Perhaps this is the tradition of Nanyang Sect."

"You always give hope to your allies, only to snuff it out with your own hands."

As his words fell, the Yellow Plague Venom Dragon's body erupted with sharp spikes, as if sinister bones were piercing through its flesh. Thick dragon arms burst with dense murderous intent, and it fiercely charged towards the figure in front!

"..."

Watching the terrifying giant shadow rushing towards him, Shen Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The time was too rushed, and he didn't have enough time to summon Ke Shisan from Nanyang Holy Land. This place was too close to Western Flood, and if he released the recently fallen Cold Mountain Ancestor, it might raise suspicions from others.

Although he had mastered a true divine ability and reached the Heaven Realm, he was still only at the early stage.

With the support of various techniques, Shen Yi was confident in facing two opponents, but ensuring that both Dragon Demons would be buried in Southern Flood might be a challenge.

So he must first make the two Dragon Sons abandon the idea of fleeing with all their might.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi exhaled softly, and in the next moment, his five fingers suddenly clenched tightly, and the sky beneath the thick black cloud cover began to distort.

As his sleeves fluttered, a fist burst forth like a collapsing mountain!

Boom—

In front of this fist, the massive dragon claw trembled, and the venomous mist suddenly dissipated.

The Ke Family Prince felt the immense force transmitted through his claws, his face changing abruptly. He felt as if the entire world was resisting him, and the surging demonic power, which he was proud of, had reached its peak, but he still couldn't press the dragon claw down another inch.

Even... Even it gave him the illusion of being thrown away.

If Shen Yi had this kind of strength, when facing his younger brother, why would he need to use those extra means.

Just as the Ke Family Prince sensed something amiss.

Shen Yi shifted his gaze to the other side and raised his other hand, loosely clenching his fingers.

This subtle movement caused the Jade Horn Silver Dragon to struggle violently, and then it was forcibly pulled over by an invisible giant hand!

"I said, come together."

Shen Yi's calm voice echoed in the ears of the two Dragon Demons, this unconcealed contempt finally dispelled the last trace of doubt in their minds.

"Kid! Are you too overconfident in your immortal technique?"

Qi Zhaoyi stabilized his body, and the jade horn on his head emitted a brilliant light, tearing through the restraint of the invisible giant hand like a bamboo breaking.

Although the immortal technique was powerful, it wasn't to this absurd degree.

Even in a one-on-one fight, it was unlikely to defeat either of them, let alone facing both at the same time.

Even at the same cultivation level, the Dragon Palace offspring, after being nourished by countless heavenly materials and treasures, and with their originally mighty bloodline, were far superior to others.

"Something's wrong..."

Huang Wenfa's face suddenly darkened. Although he hadn't cultivated the Divine Mountain Tranquil Sky Technique, he was familiar with the three split techniques.

In any case, this was not a technique related to tempering the body.

Shen Zongzhu's actions, voluntarily closing the distance with the two demons, seemed domineering but was definitely not a wise choice!

"He's provoking these two Dragon Demons."

Cheng Xiaoyuan realized something: "The sudden appearance of these two demons here is most likely because they want to go to the Western Flood to seek reinforcements. Shen Zongzhu probably doesn't want them to leave, so he's resorting to this desperate measure..."

"But—"

Confusion filled Cheng Xiaoyuan's eyes: "What should we do after provoking them?"

This action could indeed make the two Dragon Demons temporarily abandon the idea of leaving, after all, they were both mid-Heaven Realm demons, and no one could bear such contempt.

The problem was that if the strength was insufficient, this would only make them more violent, even triggering their ferocity, leading to a life-and-death struggle without regard for their lives. In the end, not only would they fail to keep them, but they might also lose their own lives.

"Or is there some help on the way?" Cheng Xiaoyuan looked downwards.

Treasure Flower Sect Master's eyes twitched as she stared at the silent Dao Token in her hand. It was impossible; if the other three Heaven Realm experts were coming, they would have notified her in advance, allowing her to prepare and minimize the impact.

After all, with the relationship between the Treasure Flower Sect and the Southern Seven, they wouldn't worry about her leaking secrets.

Unless... this matter was entirely Shen Zongzhu's decision, as only this Nanyang Zongzhu didn't know how to contact the Treasure Flower Sect.

"It's over."

Cheng Xiaoyuan noticed the change in the Treasure Flower Sect Master's expression and could guess her thoughts.

He also saw the two soaring dragons, equally robust and massive, almost the strongest Dragon Demons in the Southwest Two Floods apart from the Dragon King, now setting aside their differences and joining forces to attack that tall and slender figure.

He couldn't imagine which cultivator could withstand such a terrifying offensive at such close range!

And at that moment.

The dark clouds in the sky suddenly dispersed.

Logically, the sky should have brightened suddenly, but it was the opposite; the entire blue sea and green sky were plunged into deeper darkness, as if night had fallen.

Behind the black clouds was an endless Dark and Mysterious Grand Manor.

The sound of springs drowned out the wails of the lost souls.

There was a broken bridge, with layers of shadows in between.

At some point, Shen Yi had disappeared from his original spot and was now sitting high above in the Dark and Mysterious Grand Manor, perched on a lofty throne.

He wore an ink-black robe, his palms slightly resting on his sides, and his gaze calmly overlooked the mortal realm.

"..."

The two Dragon Demons pounced on empty air, then looked up in disbelief, their eyes widening as they watched this colossal object slam down!

In an instant, their minds were filled with frenzied roaring.

The Divine Mountain Tranquil Sky Technique was already a rare immortal technique in the world.

And above the blue sky, there was the Supreme Nether Mansion!
