Chapter 617: Entrusting to Heaven's Will?
Chapter 617: Entrusting to Heaven's Will?
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Within the Northern Flood Domain, numerous heavily armored figures emerged in perfect formation, each squad consisting of different demon clans.
When they gathered together, their demonic aura nearly dyed the surging green waves red!
Under the watchful eyes of the Immortals, the Northern Dragon Palace had been in control of the waters for many years, managing the area as tightly as an iron bucket.
There was no room for any power struggles; all water demons submitted to the Dragon Palace, paying annual tributes and offering their clan's elite forces to fight on the palace's behalf.
At this moment, their eyes gleamed with cold determination as they stood silently in their original positions.
In the grand hall, numerous dragon sons and grandsons, also clad in armor, sat on either side.
The Northern Dragon King, residing in the Eastern Flood, suppressed the group of purple-bearded white dragons. In his absence, his younger brother, Qi Tianchuan, took charge.
This ferocious black dragon sat high on the throne, accompanied by an aged tortoise demon.
With a casual gesture towards the map, personal guards holding edicts appeared before each demon army.
Compared to the shrimp and crab soldiers, every demon army outside the Dragon Palace possessed the strength to independently attack an Immortal Sect.
The dense crowd of demons resembled dark clouds, emerging from the waters and sweeping across the four directions.
The vastness of Hongze made a thorough cleansing seem like a madman's dream.
However, under Qi Tianchuan and the old tortoise's command, half of Hongze was quickly divided and distributed.
As for the remaining ones...
Amidst the rustling wind, the Northern Flood's sky was filled with golden light, and maps of the Ten Thousand Li River and Mountain unfolded, creating a bustling scene akin to a mirage.
The majestic Dao Palace stood tall, its grandeur rivaling that of an Immortal City.
Twelve ethereal shadows sat cross-legged within the palace, overlooking the mortal realm like divine beings.
Below them, not only were powerful cultivators gathered, but demons also came to pay their respects, among whom the most eye-catching were the members of the Yue Clan.
In truth, if one were to exclude the Dao Realm, the strength of the Northern Flood would undoubtedly fall short of the combined might of the remaining three floods.
However, its power lay in its location beneath the Immortals' feet, rendering conflict futile.
Hence, the two forces most favored by the Immortals needed only a single decree to effortlessly assemble all their powerful individuals, and none dared to defy or even secretly disobey.
With the might of the Northern Flood, they would sweep through the remaining three floods!
"Those damned dragons in the east are experts at concealment. Now that they're gone, things will be much easier."
Despite the Eastern Dragon Palace's deliberate attempts to muddy the waters, the Northern Flood remained largely ignorant of the outside world.
But this was of no concern.
One of the ethereal shadows in the Dao Palace smiled faintly and turned his gaze southward.
Everything was laid bare—not a single detail was missed.
The next moment, the twelve shadows simultaneously revealed their true forms, and thunderous voices reverberated through the azure sky.
"Kill!"
...
In the Western Flood, at the Mountain Movers Sect.
Ye Jiu and the others looked towards the front in confusion, "Where's Shen Yi?"
Despite Master Shen's seemingly calm demeanor earlier, his emotions were clearly amiss.
With the situation favoring them, they only needed to wait for the Immortal Court to receive the petition, and everything would change.
Why, then, did a murderous aura suddenly emanate from him?
"He... he left."
A hint of bewilderment appeared on Ji Jingxi's exquisite face, and her entire being seemed at a loss.
It wasn't the first time Master Shen had wandered off on his own, but everyone from the Southern Seven Sects should have been accustomed to it by now.
This time, however, Ji Jingxi inexplicably felt her heart racing with anxiety, even bordering on fear.
The last time she felt this way was when Qin Shixiong left the sect to rescue Xuanqing in the Northern Flood.
Although they were both leaders of the Nanyang Sect, their personalities were as different as heaven and earth.
For some reason, Ji Jingxi saw the same ruthlessness in their faces, a determination akin to burning bridges and staking everything.
"He said to let us handle it ourselves."
Ji Jingxi lifted her gaze, her bewilderment deepening.
"Handle it ourselves? What do we handle?"
Ye Jiu was impulsive by nature, and as he spoke, he was already preparing to draw his Radiant Flying Sword to search for the missing person.
He found it strange; everything seemed calm, yet Shen Yi had suddenly changed. When he looked up at the sky, what had he seen? Even if something significant had occurred, why not discuss it? Especially in times like these, shouldn't they gather all available forces?
"Wait."
Suddenly, Qi Yan Sheng grabbed Ye Jiu's arm, staring intently towards the north.
As his gaze extended into the distance, his pupils began to tremble slightly.
The leader of the Spirit Peak Sect, known for his steady temperament, was not among the top cultivators of Hongze, but his late-stage Heaven Realm cultivation still made him a formidable force.
However, at this moment, everyone heard his heavy breathing.
The leaders of the Southern Flood Sects and the Mountain Movers Sect simultaneously turned their gazes north, and in that instant, their faces mirrored Qi Yan Sheng's emotions.
At the border between the Western and Northern Floods.
A black line suddenly appeared in the sky, swiftly rolling towards them and transforming into dark clouds.
The exquisite Mystic Armor, identical to that of the Northern Flood's elite forces, emerged from the clouds.
A vast number of figures, like swarming locusts, burst forth!
More figures broke through the dark clouds, rushing towards the east, west, and south.
The Ten Thousand Li River and Mountain maps, accompanied by the majestic Dao Palace, descended one after another, and various demons roamed the surface, their roars piercing the green sea and blue sky!
"It's over!"
In Qi Yan Sheng's memory, the Northern Flood remained as it was ten thousand years ago.
Only by truly witnessing this horrifying scene could one understand just how terrifying their strength truly was.
Of course, with their Heaven Realm cultivation, as long as they weren’t foolish enough to provoke those supreme titans, they could certainly ensure their own safety.
However, the problem was, how many Heaven Realm cultivators did Hongze have? How many Fusion Dao cultivators? More cultivators and beings would be crushed into meat paste without a doubt when faced with such an overwhelming force.
The stance of these Northern Flood beings was clearly to wash the entire Hongze in blood!
Qi Yan Sheng finally understood why Shen Yi hadn’t discussed the matter and instead chose to leave on his own.
Because it was already too late.
Given the current situation in the remaining three Flood regions, it had been so difficult for the Southern Seven Sects to seek aid, let alone gather forces capable of countering the Northern Flood in such a short time.
Their strength could indeed ensure their own survival, but to protect the entire Hongze? The thought was laughable.
Don’t forget, the Northern Flood had two Dao Realm experts sitting in reserve.
To resist such an attack, they would need another immortal to intervene!
"Indeed, it’s over."
Ye Jiu’s expression was wooden. The sudden large-scale actions of the Northern Flood must have been the will of the Hongze Immortal.
After much consideration, there was only one possibility.
The plan of the Eastern Dragon Palace had been exposed.
When Shen Yi looked up at the empty sky earlier, he must have seen the fall of the Eastern Dragon King.
Seven days had passed without the sun and Moon renewing the heavens. Instead, they received a warning, or perhaps a retaliation, from the Hongze Immortal!
Their greatest concern was that the killing of the two Dragon Kings had been leaked.
But now, it seemed somewhat excessive.
Because in the presence of a true immortal, in the face of true heavenly authority, killing didn’t require reasons or evidence.
With just a thought, the Northern Flood could wash Hongze clean, and for mere mortals, it would be like a natural disaster.
To put it bluntly.
If the Eastern Dragon Palace faced divine punishment, apart from the Purple Bearded White Dragons, where else in Hongze could a force be found that could stand against the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect and the Northern Dragon Palace, not to mention the two lackeys who could command the remaining sects and demon races of the Northern Flood.
"So, he really left?"
Ye Jiu turned around in a daze. The seven sects, without the guidance of Nanyang, were like his rusted sword, suddenly without direction.
But it could be understood. Rather than watch Hongze turn into a sea of blood,
It might be better to close one’s Eyes.
But could Sect Leader Shen really close His Eyes?
Ye Jiu exhaled deeply, the image of that young man looking up at the sky, the bone-chilling killing intent, didn’t seem like an attempt to cover his ears and eyes.
Could it be—
Ye Jiu gritted his teeth, suppressing the sudden chill that rose in his heart.
A genius with the potential to become an immortal, if he truly perished with Hongze, it would indeed be a great loss.
"Phew."
Ji Jingxi, seeing the suddenly despondent expressions of her many senior brothers, had no intention of defending Shen Yi. She simply turned around Slowly: "Since he said he would watch over, let’s do what we can."
"The rest, we leave to fate."
...
Bang!
A black Mystic Armor boot slowly stepped onto land.

The Immortal's Edict needs no explanation.
The leader, dragging a decapitating greatsword, slowly walked forward.
The leader of the Fusion Dao Sect originally thought that his strength was not far off from this demon general, and even if negotiations failed, there would still be room for reconciliation.
But who could have imagined that from start to finish, he wouldn't even have a chance to face off against his opponent.
"We are willing to atone for our sins!"
The sect leader watched as the demon general approached, struggling desperately, but the more he struggled, the tighter the chains became, even causing the Dao infant inside him to wither and weaken.
He couldn't imagine what kind of power it would take to withstand such a decisive and ruthless assault that left no room for resistance.
At least, the Western Flood should not have such power.
The demon general slowly stopped, but not because of the sect leader's words.
These people were innocent to begin with, so what was there to atone for?
After clearing the Hongze, from then on, there would be no more Four Floods, only the North Dragon Palace and the Boundless Dao Emperor Sect ruling over two separate territories, as per the Immortal's will.
By then, everything would belong to the Northern Flood, so why would they need to "atone"?
The reason it stopped was because it sensed something amiss.
In the previously serene surroundings, a majestic and powerful aura suddenly soared into the sky, appearing out of nowhere without any warning.
A robust white ferocious wolf ran through the mountains, taking away several lives with each swipe of its claws.
The cold, long spear continuously struck the ground, emitting an endless series of crisp sounds.
Apart from this ferocious wolf, a terrifying giant ape descended from the sky, its arms resembling mallets, and it smashed the demon soldiers like a raging storm!
"Form the array!"
The leader finally spoke, calmly gripping the hilt of his sword.
Two Earth Realm demon monsters, although they didn't know how they appeared, couldn't affect the overall situation.
In this remote and impoverished Western Flood, there were even methods that he had never heard of.
At his command, the demon soldiers didn't panic, and dozens of chains flew out, swirling like raging dragons, causing the surrounding heaven and earth's aura to instantly erupt into chaos!
"Lock it down for me!"
The leader boldly ordered, but the array seemed to disobey his command.
The demon soldiers looked around in confusion.
In the mountains, a dozen towering and ominous figures approached, at least ten of them, and their massive shadows instantly enveloped the land and water.
They were all Earth Realm great demons, and the weakest among them was at the intermediate stage of the Earth Realm!
"Who are you?"
The leader's face finally changed, and such a display, even in the Northern Flood, would be considered a formidable presence, yet he had never heard of them.
Just then, he heard the sect leader, who had temporarily escaped death, exclaim in surprise and trembling, shouting out a name.
"The Ten Thousand Demon Hall!"
The leader followed the sect leader's gaze and saw a figure in a dark golden robe swaying in the blue sky.
Unlike before, this time, the person who came did not hide his face under a hood.
He quietly observed the demon soldiers.
The leader's face paled, "Yue Tianji! You're not dead? We came here following the Immortal's edict, and as the rightful heir of the Yue family, not only did you not obey and assist, but you dare to obstruct us. Do you wish to die?"
Compared to the indifference of these Northern Dragon Palace demon generals when they saw the Immortal Sect, Yue Tianji's gaze gave off a completely different feeling.
It was as if in his eyes, everything before him was not living beings, but mere numbers in motion.
The reason for counting was to conveniently report back to his master.
By now, he had counted almost all of them.
Yue Tianji waved his hand lightly, and the countless chains in the sky all fell into his palm above, grasped by an invisible giant hand.
As the rightful heir of the Yue family, while he played with these things, these water demons were still splashing in the mud.
Crack! Crack!
The chains wrapped around the leader's neck, and his head was effortlessly taken away.
More than ten Earth Realm great demons swept away the demon soldiers, returning silently to Yue Tianji's side.
The next moment, the sect leader who had narrowly escaped death looked at the vast demon crowd before him with fear and uncertainty. They were clearly visible in his line of sight, but their auras suddenly vanished without a trace, like lifeless stones.
"Return them to my master."
Yue Tianji threw the storage artifact filled with demon corpses to the giant ape, and after a few hours, these flesh and blood would become new colleagues, standing behind him.
He slowly turned around, his figure disappearing into the sky, with no intention of lingering.
Perhaps the Eastern Dragon King's experience made the master realize something.
It was indeed unlikely to turn the tide, as the Ten Thousand Demon Hall's power was not insignificant, but it was still far from being able to rival the Northern Flood.
But...
When this blood-soaked slaughter god suddenly remembered, he was not a bodhisattva who relieved suffering, and everything changed.
After removing this shackle, the master, who was dedicated to hunting, would have no more concerns.
In his eyes, only the demons' lifespans remained, and how to quickly collect these lifespans.
