Chapter 614: Controlling the Western Flood
Chapter 614: Controlling the Western Flood
Bloodstained peach blossoms spread from the dragon's body, once again shrouding this realm.
In the depths of the Western Flood, beyond the pitch-black abyss.
Shen Yi stood up from the ground, panting, and the gray in his eyes faded as he gently rubbed the gaping wound that pierced his heart.
The consumption of Immortal Arts was immense. Nanyang itself was not considered a superior treasure land, with a weak foundation. Moreover, he was simultaneously using two Immortal Arts and two Divine Abilities, barely possessing the strength to fight the Western Dragon King head-on.
To be honest, after just a few hours of fighting, Shen Yi had already reached a state of exhaustion.
This move was too risky.
Fortunately... he won.
"Huff."
Shen Yi stood up straight, his hands hanging by his sides at the edge of the pitch-black abyss.
A sense of relaxation he had never felt before instantly swept through his body, causing a smile to curve his lips from within.
Even with the combined power of the Western and Southern Floods, they were still far from surpassing the remaining Eastern and Northern Floods.
But at least he and Hongze Great Immortal were now on the same level, no longer mere ants that could be eliminated with a glance from the other party.
At this thought, Shen Yi turned his gaze towards the panel.
【Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 1,637,000 years】
Since arriving in the Western Flood, the only consumption of demonic lifespan had been the expenditure of tens of thousands of years to complete the Greedy Wolf Star Constellation Annihilation Array, and the rest was all here.
This number was clearly not what Shen Yi had expected.
There was still a significant gap to fill before he could condense two Demon Emperor Seals.
The main reason was that this group of Jade Horned Silver Dragons had been mostly killed by him, with only about a dozen left, so having a lifespan of two hundred thousand years was already impressive.
The real bulk of the demonic lifespan should have come from the subordinate forces of the Western Dragon Palace, but after tonight, they would either try to deliver a message and die at the hands of the Southern Flood elders, or scatter and hide in the vast waters.
Oh well, you win some, you lose some.
After all, Shen Yi was just one person, not a true immortal god, and it was impossible to be infallible. He could only do his best.
The demonic lifespan could be slowly accumulated, and if all else failed, he could search for it one area at a time in these waters. But if he didn't seize control of the Western Flood's Immortal Power in advance, the one who might die would be himself.
"Let's begin."
He needed to act quickly and not forget that the Eastern Flood siblings were waiting outside, even though they were allies, Shen Yi didn't want to expose this horrifying matter.
He gave a reminder to Ke Shisan, who was already impatient, and then waved his hand to condense a Guardian Boulder while beginning to reshape Qi Zhaowen's demonic soul.
To suppress the Dragon Cavern, this second prince of the Western Dragon Palace was barely sufficient. If the bloodline concentration were any lower, it wouldn't be enough, and if it were any higher, like the Western Dragon King himself... Shen Yi couldn't bear to do it.
After all, he was still counting on using these dragon corpses to help Ke Shisan enter the Dao Realm.
"Zhaowen pays his respects to my master!"
Soon, Qi Zhaowen, who had been crushed underfoot on the long staircase, knelt before Shen Yi.
Then, he was grabbed by Shen Yi and thrown directly into the Dragon Cavern.
"..."
Qi Zhaowen fell into the dense, silvery-white light, stunned. He had never imagined that he would have a Dragon Cavern of his own, and in such a bizarre way that he couldn't even dream of.
In his vision, a tall and majestic figure, clad in a dark golden robe, appeared beside the master.
The dragon demon, like a gilded dragon, looked down indifferently, with a hint of strange unkindness in his expression.
"The Ten Thousand Demon Hall, Eastern Palace Lord?"
It was him! Qi Zhaowen was very familiar with this powerful existence that put great pressure on his father.
In an instant, he suddenly understood, his eyes widening in shock.
The Western Flood had never had many mysterious enemies appearing out of nowhere. From start to finish, it was all because they had offended one person.
Looking at Ke Shisan's respectful and humble demeanor.
Qi Zhaowen clenched his heart.
His current master, the so-called Boundless Dao Emperor Sect's wicked disciple and the Nanyang Sect Leader, was actually also the master of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall!
"That's enough, don't look anymore."
After confirming that this dragon prince could barely control the Dragon Cavern, Shen Yi turned around decisively and looked at the already collapsed grand hall.
The vast demonic lifespan quickly surged into the Western Palace of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall.
An Yi sat on the throne, her palms suddenly gripping the armrests tightly, while below, the black-gas-shrouded group of demons knelt in unison.
In an instant, the grand illusion of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall thunderously suppressed this place! The demonic lifespan flowed away madly, filling in any gaps, striving for perfect coverage.
But this number, in the face of the demonic lifespan required to condense the Demon Emperor Seal, was like a small witch before a great witch.
A large seal, dyed red like a blood-stained ruby, gradually emerged before An Yi.
As it took shape, a white tiger perched atop the seal.
Following the Southern Palace Azure Dragon Seal, the Western Palace Frost Tiger Seal was complete!
At the same time, in Shen Yi's mind, the vast and boundless land outside the water connected to another equally vast and new piece of land.
The combined might of the two floods, the Northern and Southern Floods, converged within Shen Yi's body.
Shen Yi closed his eyes, standing silently in place, not allowing even a hint of his aura to escape.
However, Ke Shisan, gazing at his master's back, could clearly sense the change in his master's aura—an oppressive pressure that instilled despair.
Even though Ke Shisan was already a Perfect Heaven Realm demon, a guardian boulder, in the face of this wounded and feeble figure, he still felt a sense of dread, an instinctive urge to kneel.
A mayfly before the vast heavens!
Shen Yi opened his eyes and looked at Ke Shisan, who was prostrating before him. He reached out and placed his hand on Ke Shisan's forehead.
In the next moment, all the blood mist in the surroundings was peeled away from the murky waves by an invisible force and poured into the body of the Eastern Palace Lord, including the ancient Western Dragon King.
This time, Shen Yi did not hold high expectations.
After experiencing the effects of the Greedy Wolf Star Chart and personally engaging in battle with the Western Dragon King, his understanding of the gap between the Perfect Heaven Realm and the Dao Realm had become increasingly clear.
Not to mention how many years the Western Dragon King had spent in the Perfect Heaven Realm, and how much foundation the Dragon Cavern had accumulated in the Western Flood, the combined efforts of both still fell short of fully entering that realm.
How could Ke Shisan possibly surpass the Dragon Cavern?
This time, reaching the Half-Step Dao Realm was already a good harvest. For what was lacking, he would have to search in the east and north.
[Remaining Demonic Lifespan: 4920,000 years]
As the demonic lifespan stopped changing, Shen Yi withdrew his palm, and as he had expected, Ke Shisan had likely reached the same level as Qi Shengtao with the support of the Dragon Cavern.
The Eastern Palace Lord felt the tremendous changes within his body but, unusually, showed no emotional reaction, maintaining his humble demeanor.
Only after seeing a true immortal could he understand how ridiculous his pride had been in front of others.
...
That night, the Western Flood was unusually quiet.
Whether it was the various immortal sects or the numerous demon clans, they all sensed a faint killing intent in the air, along with a hint of bloodlust.
Above the entire Western Flood, only three figures stood suspended.
The moonlight gradually faded, and the sword light returned to its sheath. The bloodstained Purple-Gold Sacred Mountain fell into the man's palm.
Silence prevailed, only the dark red waves undulating.
As the Greedy Wolf Star Constellation Annihilation Array dispersed, not only the waters but even the night sky turned a deep crimson, as if stained with blood.
The three figures, separated by thousands of miles, almost simultaneously looked in one direction.
"It's like a dream."
Qi Yan Sheng rubbed his face, muttering incoherently in a dreamlike state.
He struggled to describe his current feelings.
After Qin Shixiong's fall, he had lost his motivation and quietly stayed in the most remote corner of South Hong for ten thousand years, not even knowing what he was doing.
It was like a fleeting dream, and now it was time to wake up.
The world remained the same, but under the leadership of that young man, it seemed more vivid and real than before.
"..."
Ye Jiu remained silent, examining the flowing light longsword in his hand.
He wished he were in the Dragon Palace, but as a sword, he had to fulfill his responsibilities first.
Just like his master, Shen Yi, who never disappointed.
Could a rusty sword forge a new life?
"Return to the Western Dragon Palace."
Ji Jingxi took out her sect token without a word. She only wanted to know how Shen Yi was doing.
The Eastern Dragon King and his sister, who were above the Dragon Cavern, had the same question echoing in their minds.
Until the array dispersed, the Prince Ziyang stopped his sister and instantly stepped down.
Even with his keen eyesight, he had guessed most of Shen Yi's thoughts, but he still needed to see it with his own eyes to truly put his mind at ease.
It was too terrifying.
Prince Ziyang had never encountered such a cultivator.
Shen Yi seemed to have recklessly charged into the Western Dragon Palace, but in reality, he had meticulously planned everything in his mind.
The most crucial part was his control over Qi Shengtao's psychology.
From provoking the old dragon to suppressing him, and then allowing Qi Shengtao to regain his fighting spirit in a state of mental confusion, transforming him into a beast driven solely by slaughter...
What made Prince Ziyang's heart race was that Shen Yi had meticulously planned the deaths of Qi Laowu and the other dragon sons and grandsons, knowing exactly when and how they would die, like a well-designed play.
With each dragon's fall, Qi Shengtao was pushed further towards his own demise.
Such a meticulous person could feign recklessness and ferocity to deceive others.
If Shen Yi had used such methods on him...
Prince Ziyang even believed that without the Greedy Wolf Star Chart, he too would have been unable to escape the Mountain Movers Sect that day.
"You..."
He halted, staring blankly ahead.
Amidst the ruins, a young man in tattered dark robes stood, his golden patterns faded, leaving only faint imprints and a terrifying gash that was hard to believe.
Shen Yi casually lifted his palm, revealing a large seal enveloped in dragon energy.
The dragon seal slowly rose and landed in Zi Yang's hand, and at the same time, he heard the other's exhausted voice.
"Now I need more time."
Shen Yi lowered his arm, his body staggering slightly. It was clear that if he wanted to kill this uncontrollable ruthless man, now would be the best opportunity.
"..."
Zi Yang fell silent for a moment, turned to look at his sister, who stood there like a wooden chicken, and suddenly sighed, "Don't test me. I don't believe someone like you would entrust your life to me. If you're truly this weak, you would have left before the array dispersed."
Hearing this, Shen Yi acted as if he hadn't heard.
With two dragon seals in hand, the Eastern Dragon Palace's plan was already successful, and there was no longer any reason for them to help him.
After all, he had offended too many people, and the killings were too heavy. The situation had become irreconcilable. The Eastern Dragon Palace only wanted to replace the Immortal overseeing Hongze, not to plunge it into a killing calamity.
Shen Yi did want to hold more cards in his hand, but this Eastern Dragon Palace prince was indeed quite clear-headed.
"I will agree to your request, but I want you to meet my father. There are things I can't promise, but he can make the decision."
Zi Yang exhaled, feeling that he couldn't understand Shen Yi at all. He even felt a hint of fear. In this situation, he didn't deserve to make any deals with the other party.
After he finished speaking, Shen Yi paused for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Coincidentally, he also wanted to chat with the Dragon King who had protected the Southern Seven Sects of Hongze for many years, to understand the other party's intentions and make his own decisions later.
There were only three Dao Realm experts in Hongze. If one of them stood by his side, it would be much more convenient for him.
"For now, you really should rest."
Zi Yang shook his head, put the seal away, and bowed to Shen Yi, "Perhaps you think our Purple Bearded White Dragon Clan is crazy, and I don't know what you've been through. But I want to say that if killing is necessary, then kill, but please keep your heart steady and don't fall into madness."
"After all..."
Zi Yang suddenly smiled, "You will eventually leave, go to Shenzhou, stand before the Immortal Court, become an Immortal Ancestor, receive incense and offerings, and pass down an immortal Dao lineage for countless generations."
"Of course, it's too early to talk about this now. After all, he's still watching from above."
Zi Yang pointed to the empty sky, clearly aware of Bai Xi's presence.
After saying this, the prince suddenly pulled his sister over, "Let's talk about something closer to home. Have you considered finding a Dao partner? My sister..."
Controlling this Sect Leader Shen seemed far-fetched, but it was a good opportunity to establish a connection in Shenzhou and leave behind a Dao lineage before he became an Immortal.
If he didn't seize this opportunity now, the next time they met, he might only be able to be a mount for others.
With two dragon seals in hand, Zi Yang's attitude had clearly changed.
"I'm already married!" Zi Xian suddenly pushed her brother away in a panic.
"Tsk, wasn't she already killed? And by my brother Shen, no less. What a coincidence. It's as if he killed your husband. This is fate."
Zi Yang didn't want to let this opportunity go. With Ji Jingxi not around, as long as Shen Yi nodded, he would help his sister cut off that thought today.
"..."
Shen Yi silently glanced at the Eastern Dragon Palace prince, whose mind seemed to have gone astray.
He turned and walked outside.
"Hey, let's discuss it further! If you think my sister is too old, I also have a niece, named Zi Lan, who has some reputation in Hongze. Why don't you consider her?"
Zi Yang quickly let go of Zi Xian and hurried to catch up.
Just then, a moonlight figure descended, silently observing Zi Yang, stopping him from speaking. Then, she reached out to support Shen Yi, furrowing her brows as she gathered moonlight and touched his chest wound.
"My cultivation is low, so the effect might not be very good. Please bear with it."
Hearing her gentle voice, Zi Xian's initial shock turned into disappointment. Even Ji Jingxi didn't even glance at her, focusing solely on Shen Yi.
"Sss!"
Zi Yang glanced at Zi Xian with a thoughtful expression, then looked at the two figures in the distance.
As expected of Brother Shen, always able to do what others couldn't. It seemed that this was also a way to cut off his sister's thoughts.
