Linyuan Water Mansion.

The place was filled with music and dance, the melodies melodious.

Ao Yu’s primordial spirit, now only a three-inch black dragon shape, weakly returned to the Water Mansion.

"Turtle Prime Minister, quickly go to the treasure vault and fetch the top-grade Spiritual Medicine: Celestial Dragon Lotus to restore my flesh body."

The Turtle Prime Minister and Ao Yu’s consorts in the mansion were shocked beyond words upon seeing this scene. They rushed forward, eagerly inquiring about what had happened.

"Dragon Monarch, was it the Divine Land Orthodox Sect who acted?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

The Turtle Prime Minister hurriedly fetched the "Celestial Dragon Lotus," carefully asking the three-inch black dragon.

"Should we inform the Dragon King?"

"No."

Ao Yu’s primordial spirit settled into the Celestial Dragon Lotus, and after contemplating for a moment, he said, "No need to inform Father Emperor. I encountered a formidable foe at Guanjiangkou. I was careless and got ambushed successfully."

The human race Divine General, with a mere three hundred years of Dao practice, faced him, a True Immortal who had attained the Dao, possessing Daoist Treasure and commanding a hundred thousand shrimp soldiers and crab generals to deploy the Furious Wave Sea Grand Array, resulting in a crushing defeat and a heavy loss of troops.

If such a failure were reported, he feared he would never be able to raise his head among the Dragon Race, having no face to continue being a dragon.

All must be silenced, completely silenced!

"If it were that formidable foe..."

The Turtle Prime Minister showed a worried expression, unease in his words.

"Do not panic!"

Ao Yu snorted coldly, "That cunning person, clearly possessing a Spiritual Treasure and mastering Divine Techniques, yet deliberately disguising himself as a junior cultivator with only three hundred years of Dao practice. I was careless, thus suffering such severe injuries."

"Moreover, Guanjiangkou is on land, the human race’s territory, limiting my abilities..."

"But if he dares to come to Linyuan Water Mansion, I will ensure he does not leave..."

Of course, Ao Yu understood in his heart that they dared not "pursue the victory." After all, he was the Third Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon Palace, and for him to be fatally damaged while invading human territory was considered a lack of skill,

but no one dared to rampage in the East Sea.

As the words fell.

The Turtle Prime Minister’s face slightly relaxed.

With a loud rumbling sound.

The protective grand array of Linyuan Water Mansion suddenly shook violently, as if struck by some powerful force.

Red light penetrated the water mansion, illuminating every corner. The seawater boiled, waves surged, as if the entire seabed was trembling.

The beings within Linyuan Water Mansion fell into utter panic.

"Dragon Monarch, should we..." The Turtle Prime Minister cast an urgent look at Ao Yu.

"Do not panic!" Ao Yu scoffed, "The grand array of Linyuan Water Mansion is connected to the East Sea’s water veins, indestructible..."

Crack!

Before the words were finished, a crisp cracking sound interrupted him.

A crimson sun broke through the waters, its radiance illuminating Linyuan Water Mansion like daylight.

A rainbow light divided the sea.

In the sky, a group clad in red armor hovered, glaring down with formidable presence.

"Dragon Monarch of Linyuan Water Mansion, today, you must give me an explanation." The leader with a spear spoke, his voice like thunder, causing every being in the water mansion to be filled with fear and trepidation.

"What explanation?"

Ao Yu’s brows furrowed tightly,

"General of Guanjiangkou, do you truly seek to bully others excessively? My flesh body has already been slain by you, lacking skill, I have nothing more to say. But for you to chase me to Linyuan Water Mansion, do you truly intend to exterminate me and take my life?!"

"This is not the shore; this is the East Sea!"

Ning Xunqiu laughed in exasperation, no longer wishing to waste words with Ao Yu. He stepped forward, his form growing to a hundred-zhang-tall Crimson Flame Giant, his aura like a rainbow.

Mercilessly, he slaughtered the water mansion troops coming to face him, the Chaotic Heaven Silk swept towards Ao Yu, who was attempting to escape.

Ning Xunqiu raised his hand.

The Dragon-Slaying Sword rose, descending slowly, its blade pointing with unstoppable might.

Dragon Slayer!

Dragon Slayer!

At this moment, Ao Yu’s magical power was drastically reduced, unable to break free from the Chaotic Heaven Silk’s restraint, he could only roar in despair to the sky: "I am the Third Crown Prince of the East Sea Dragon King, do you dare kill me?!!"

"If you kill me, Father Emperor will undoubtedly mobilize troops to wage war, at that time, the Daqian Divine Dynasty will push you out as a scapegoat! You will die too!"

Ning Xunqiu was silent for a moment.

Ao Yu let out a sigh of relief:

"Do you dare kill me? I am a True Dragon!"

"Even your human race Orthodox Sect qi cultivators dare not! Because no one dares face the Ancestral Dragon’s questioning! You dare not! You certainly dare not!! Who dares to kill..."

His voice abruptly halted.

Within the Celestial Dragon Lotus, Ao Yu’s primordial spirit was shattered by the Dragon-Slaying Sword.

In his dying moments, Ao Yu’s eyes were filled with incomprehension and shock.

How could they dare?

[With the Dragon-Slaying Sword, I slew Ao Yu’s primordial spirit, then flattened Linyuan Water Mansion, returning with a great victory.]

[The "Sea-covering True Monarch" had been waiting for a long time, but he did not come to hold me accountable.]

["I did not expect you to possess such divine techniques; the Daqian Twelve Divine Generals are far below you. You have indeed brought great joy by slaying the Dragon Monarch of Linyuan Water Mansion, but acting in such a manner—henceforth, you will meet your death when encountering the sea."]

["Death when encountering the sea?" I was puzzled.]

["Every True Dragon is under the gaze of the Ancestral Dragon, embodiments of the Ancestral Dragon’s laws. By killing him, you challenge the Ancestral Dragon’s Great Dao. Do not approach any water bodies again; this is my final advice to you." With those words, the Sea-covering True Monarch turned and left.]

[After this battle, my thoughts became clear. Soon, I merged with the world of Guanjiangkou, becoming the True Martial Lord, able to handle True Immortals like Ao Yu without relying on the "Red Lotus Demon Slayer Guard" through the extreme combat divine techniques of Divine Weapons.]

[Within a century, I slew nine Flood Dragons that came ashore and was therefore honored by the "Emperor Qian" as the Daqian’s "Thirteenth Divine General: Crimson Flame Divine General," but I was greatly disappointed with Daqian’s conduct and only stayed at Guanjiangkou, acting independently.]

[The Dragon Race fell silent, the sea resembled dead water.]

[I felt unease in my heart, beginning to arrange contingency plans...]

[In the fifth century, heaven and earth mourned, the Sea-covering True Monarch suddenly perished, and I felt incredulous about this.]

[The Sea-covering True Monarch, daring to bear the dao title "Sea-covering," possessed unimaginable power. He was the foremost among the four True Monarchs of the Daqian Divine Dynasty, having attained the "Immortal Golden Immortal Dao," his power exceeding the Four Sea Dragon Kings. In Li State, on the shore, at Shanhai Pass, he was actually killed by the Dragon Race.]

[I knew that my days were numbered. I had long arranged matters, sending my wife, daughter, and brothers of Purple Bamboo Mountain into the small world of the Orthodox Sect’s "Supreme Profound Dao" to avoid the calamity, yet no Great Divine Power User was willing to meet me.]

[Emperor Qian, for reasons unknown, decided to directly abandon Li State. It was not just him; in facing the Four Sea Dragon Clan, all Three Divine Dynasties chose to abandon it, allowing most of the nineteen continents outside the Divine Land to be engulfed by the sea.]

[Why did not a single True Monarch act? Was it because I slew a True Dragon? Why didn’t the Orthodox Sect act?]

[I pondered deeply, and the only possibility was that the Ancestral Dragon had personally intervened, and they had already re-divided the territories.]

[I entered the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, with nowhere to go.]

[That day, I sat alone on the pass, quietly waiting for the overwhelming waves to sweep over.]

It turned out that it was the "East Sea Dragon King" who came, wielding the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl, wielding the power of the East Sea to suppress me.

I was defeated.

Celestial Thunder shattered my primordial spirit; divine techniques destroyed my flesh body, only for me to be reborn from the Red Flame Great Sun.

Endless suffering, countless tortures.

They cannot kill me! They cannot kill me!

My will never extinguishes!!

For three hundred years, I had accompanied the wild songs from the abyss, leaving the East Sea Dragon King uneasy, forcing him to seek an audience with the Ancestral Dragon to obtain a dharma decree.

"Ancestral Dragon’s Dharma Decree - Crimson Flame Divine General’s Annihilation."

A streak of black light flashed, the world of Guanjiangkou dimmed, and I fell into eternal annihilation.]

Dingdong.

[Congratulations, your tumultuous life has been rated as a red life "War God": You rose in anger for your wife and daughter, leading the "Red Lotus Demon Slayer Guard" to flatten Linyuan Water Mansion, causing True Dragons to bleed in the sky.

You merged with Guanjiangkou, becoming True Martial Lord, honored as the Thirteenth Divine General of the Daqian Divine Dynasty - Crimson Flame Divine General.

The Dragon Race, carrying the might of heaven and earth, approaches; the fall of Li State is imminent. Qi cultivators follow the Celestial Mandate, choosing to seal the mountains and avoid the world, even the human race "Emperor Qian" abandoned Li State, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge.

Only you, standing alone, faced heaven and earth, defying heaven itself.

Though your body perished, you remain—the War God!

You have received a special achievement reward.]

[Do you wish to immediately draw the special achievement reward?]
