Chapter 1712: Chapter 923: When the Sea Calamity Strikes, Bones Appear

Fifty years later, in the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

To the east of Yu State lies a vast sea, also known as the East Sea. This sea is the largest in area and is also home to two Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles.

On this day, deep in the East Sea, the sea surface was rippling with waves, and clusters of red and green seaweed could be vaguely seen in the water.

Near noon, under the scorching sun, a bronze ancient mirror quietly appeared in the sky above the East Sea. With a flash, several hundred-foot icebergs descended from the sky, plunging into the sea and creating countless giant waves.

The mirror light flashed continuously, and one iceberg after another smashed into the sea surface, quickly forming a large group of icebergs that occupied a sea area of hundreds of miles.

After throwing the icebergs, the bronze ancient mirror faded back into the void and disappeared without a trace.

Time slowly passed, and over a hundred icebergs drifted up and down in the water, slowly floating towards the deep sea with the tides.

The sun tilted to the west, and dusk gradually descended. At this moment, a gigantic vortex suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface. Shortly after, a massive head, as large as a mountain and gray-white in color, rose from the depths of the vortex. A large amount of foamy seawater flowed down from both sides of the head, looking from a distance like several white waterfalls.

A few moments later, behind the head, a gray-white "island" rose from the sea surface. The island was nearly a thousand miles in size, resembling a small continent.

Upon closer inspection, this was clearly not an island but an unimaginably huge turtle shell, with clear patterns resembling a flawless Innate Eight Trigrams, filled with an indescribable Dao rhythm.

No further explanation is needed; this colossal creature is indeed a Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle returning to the East Sea.

After the first Dragon Turtle appeared in this sea area, the other similarly sized Mount-bearing Dragon Turtle also emerged from the sea surface.

When the stars filled the heavenly curtain, the two Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles successively caught up with the iceberg group and then opened their massive mouths, beginning to devour the icebergs on the sea surface.

Compared to the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles, the hundred-foot icebergs were incredibly small.

The two Dragon Turtles could swallow them whole, and before long, they had consumed thirty-seven or thirty-eight icebergs in succession.

While the Mount-bearing Dragon Turtles enjoyed their "cold treats," they failed to notice a concealed formation, ten feet wide, on the back of one of the Dragon Turtles, sending out some kind of invisible waves.

An hour later, a completely azure Cloud Boat quietly pierced through the night sky and hovered above the iceberg group.

Soon after this Cloud Boat arrived, three more Cloud Boats successively reached this sea area.

Curiously, these four Cloud Boats quietly floated ten thousand feet in the upper sky, with no one appearing, like spectators watching the Dragon Turtles below continuously swallow the icebergs.

Perhaps due to being full, after swallowing nearly eighty percent of the icebergs, the two Dragon Turtles suddenly let out a long, ancient roar, then sank into the sea surface and quickly disappeared without a trace.

After waiting for about an hour, there was finally movement from the four Cloud Boats. First, a graceful figure slowly stepped out of the boat, followed by three people quickly emerging from the other three Cloud Boats.

All four had extraordinary auras, exuding a powerful pressure, revealing themselves as four Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

"Brother Yu Yan, Brother Dian Miao, Sister Bai Zhen, it’s been a long time. How have you all been?" The first to speak was an elderly man with white hair, wearing a high crown and a Purple Gold Eight Trigrams Robe.

"Zhao Zhongzhi, stop pretending. We walk different paths and cannot plot together. Your words disgust me."

Three hundred years later today, Zhao Yu Yan appeared more valiant and upright, seemingly having found his true self after advancing to the Divinity Transformation Realm.

"Yu Yan, my young friend, we all belong to the same clan. There’s no need to hold a grudge. Let bygones be bygones," Zhao Dianmiao, bearing a youthful face and white hair, quickly stepped in to mediate.

Both he and Zhao Yu Yan hailed from Hundred Xia Peak, and after advancing to Divinity Transformation, their friendship deepened, gradually forming a small alliance.

"I don’t care what grievances you two have. I want thirty percent of the icebergs below!" Zhao Bai Zhen declared coldly, her beautiful face slightly darkened as she spoke with an icy voice.

"Heh, on what basis?" The high-crowned old man Zhao Zhongzhi sneered at her words, "Because you’re all bust and no brains?"

"Courting death!" Zhao Bai Zhen’s brows shot up in anger, and suddenly, behind her, a crystalline ice tree hundreds of feet tall appeared.

Seeing her ready to strike, Zhao Zhongzhi wasn’t one to back down easily, and atop his head rose suddenly a mass of purple light, transforming into a bewitching three-inch-long purple-red Curved Saber. This saber, also known as the Dragon-slaying Blade, was a rare Ancient Magical Treasure.

In the brink of a confrontation, Zhao Dianmiao suddenly intervened between them, spreading his hands to conjure a transparent water wall a thousand feet long and several feet thick.

"Sister Bai Zhen, there’s no need to resort to violence. Let’s talk this over!"

After speaking, Zhao Dianmiao repeatedly signaled Zhao Yu Yan with his eyes, hinting for him to step in and mediate as well.

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Yu Yan suddenly spoke, "Sister Zhen, let’s not make a scene. Let’s stick to the old rules and divide evenly. If there’s any extra left over, it’ll go to the highest bidder!"

Zhao Bai Zhen frowned slightly, clearly upset, "Brother Yan, have you forgotten what happened last time? That scoundrel Zhao Zhongzhi..."

Before she could finish, Zhao Yu Yan interrupted her, "Zhongzhi isn’t someone who doesn’t know the importance of the matter. The last time he got away with such a huge gain was because we were blind. This time he won’t break the rules again. As it stands, with other Divinity Transformation individuals yet to set foot on the East Sea, the four of us absolutely must not fight among ourselves; otherwise, if the secret is leaked, everyone will end up big losers."
