Chapter 691: Chapter 690: The Azure Sky Sea is Shaken
Demon Flood Dragon Island.
This was one of the ten largest islands in the Azure Sky Sea. The entire island resembled a Flood Dragon coiling upon the ocean’s surface.
It was said…
This island was forged from the corpse of a Demon Flood Dragon Race ancestor.
And the Demon Flood Dragon Race lived upon it!
At this moment.
Deep within Demon Flood Dragon Island.
There were nine frigid pools, their waters unfathomably deep, seemingly connected directly to the ocean floor.
BLUB BLUB BLUB!
Enormous bubbles rose from the frigid pools. Then, from the ninth pool, a column of water shot toward the sky. A pitch-black Flood Dragon head emerged, immense as a small mountain. Its two sword-like Dragon Horns pierced the heavens as its cold gaze fell upon the figure standing before the pool. Its voice boomed like thunder, “Why have you awakened me?”
“Reporting to the Ninth Supreme Elder, word has come from the front. A young dragon, suspected of possessing a Divine-level True Dragon Bloodline, has appeared in the Azure Sky Sea!” the burly figure before the pool said in a low voice.
He was the current Clan Leader of the Demon Flood Dragon Race, Demon Yunkng.
His cultivation was at the Early Stage of the Emperor Realm.
The Emperor Realm was divided into five stages: Early, Mid, Late, Peak, and Perfection.
Although Demon Yunkng’s cultivation was only at the Early Stage of the Emperor Realm, his combat strength was comparable to a human Martial Artist at the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm, making him incredibly formidable.
A true hegemon of the Azure Sky Sea!
Within the nine frigid pools before Demon Yunkng resided the nine Supreme Elders the Demon Flood Dragon Race had produced over countless ages, each at the Late-stage Emperor Realm or above. Though he was a hegemon of the Azure Sky Sea, he still maintained the proper respect when facing these nine Supreme Elders.
The Ninth Supreme Elder’s enormous pupils constricted, and the water of the entire frigid pool began to boil violently.
“Our Demon Flood Dragon Race has not set foot in Zhongzhou for hundreds of thousands of years, ever since we were expelled by the True Dragon Race in ancient times. If we can obtain this young dragon and raise it to the Emperor Realm, we can go to Zhongzhou and compete for the position of Young Clan Leader. Then, our Demon Flood Dragon Race can atone for our past and rejoin the Dragon Race of Zhongzhou. Demon Yunkng, I am entrusting this matter to you personally. At any cost, you must bring that young dragon back. If necessary, you may awaken the rest of us to act!” the Ninth Supreme Elder declared gravely.
They spent their years in secluded cultivation within the frigid pools, all for the sake of breaking through to the Demigod Realm.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, they would not normally take action!
One could only imagine… just how desperately the Demon Flood Dragon Race coveted the Little Dragon Maiden!
Demon Yunkng nodded. “Rest assured, Ninth Supreme Elder. I will definitely bring that young dragon back!”
“Go!”
The Ninth Supreme Elder nodded, and his massive head submerged back into the frigid pool.
Meanwhile…
In the eastern part of the Azure Sky Sea stood a colossal city built upon the water.
It was absolutely immense!
Above the city gates were three magnificent, flourishing words—Sea Dragon City!
This was the domain of the Sea Dragon Race, one of the Ten Great Forces of the Azure Sky Sea.
As the Clan Leader of the Sea Dragon Race, Hai Long was lounging comfortably in his residence when a booming voice suddenly echoed in his ears. “Hai Long, a young dragon with a Divine-level Bloodline has appeared in the Azure Sky Sea. The Demon Flood Dragon Race has already made its move. Remember, you must stop at nothing to seize the young dragon before they do!”
“A young dragon with a Divine-level Bloodline?”
Startled, Hai Long immediately replied with reverence, “Rest assured, Ancestor. I will bring that young dragon back!”
“Mm. Here is information on the young dragon.” The indifferent voice faded as a mote of Spiritual Light landed before Hai Long and then vanished.
“Luu Fei’s Pirate Group? A Body Refining Powerhouse? Hmph. Not even an Emperor Realm Powerhouse can think of snatching something from my Sea Dragon Race!”
Hai Long immediately rose and summoned an expert at the Peak of the Human Emperor Realm. He ordered in a low voice, “Send out the order! Use any means necessary to track down Luu Fei’s Pirate Group. The moment the young dragon is found, notify me at once!”
“Yes, Clan Leader!”
The Sea Dragon Race expert immediately withdrew.
Hai Long narrowed his eyes, gazing out at the calm sea as he muttered to himself, “With the appearance of a young dragon with a Divine-level Bloodline, the Azure Sky Sea is about to be drenched in blood once more. But this young dragon is crucial to my Sea Dragon Race. As long as we obtain its True Dragon Blood, our clan can shatter its biological limitations and become a true Dragon Race. No matter who it is, no one will compete with me for it!”
A similar scene played out among the other eight super-factions of the Azure Sky Sea.
From the depths of East King Island, a cold voice declared, “A young dragon with a Divine-level Bloodline… I, the East King, am determined to have it!”
West King Island, South King Island, and North King Island all issued similar orders.
The Four Great Pirate Kings of the east, west, south, and north mobilized their countless pirates, beginning the search for Luu Fei’s Pirate Group and Jiang Chen’s party.
In the deep sea.
Here lay a massive underwater city, the domain of the Mermaid Clan.
At this moment…
Besides the leader of the Mermaid Clan, there was another powerhouse present.
It was the Clan Leader of the Yaksha Race.
The Mermaid Clan Leader was an exquisitely beautiful woman, but the aura she exuded was incomparably powerful, having reached the Middle Stage of the Emperor Realm.
“Yiluo, what are your thoughts on this young dragon with the Divine-level Bloodline?” asked Yebo, the Clan Leader of the Yaksha Race.
Yiluo smiled, a bright and captivating sight. “The Demon Flood Dragon Race and the Sea Dragon Race both have some connection to the Dragon Race. They will surely stop at nothing to fight for the young dragon. Neither of our clans can hope to take it for ourselves alone!”
“That’s what I was thinking as well!”
Yebo looked at the beautiful woman, his eyes burning with intense adoration. He said in a low voice, “My Yaksha Race is willing to fully support your clan in fighting for the young dragon. After we succeed, you will marry me. How about it?”
Yiluo paused for a moment, then gave a faint, city-toppling smile.
Outside the underwater city.
A giant whale swimming by happened to see Yiluo’s smile. Its massive body shuddered, its eyes glazed over, and it completely forgot to keep swimming, only snapping out of its stupor after it had sunk to the ocean floor.
She smiled faintly and said, “I’m afraid the Demon Flood Dragon Race and the Sea Dragon Race won’t be so easy to deal with, will they?”
“Don’t worry. As long as you agree to marry me, I naturally have a way to get that young dragon!” Yebo said, his gaze feverish as he swallowed hard.
Yiluo pondered for a moment, then smiled. “Alright!”
“Hahaha, Yiluo, just wait for my good news!”
With a flicker, Yebo’s figure vanished.
The smile remained on Yiluo’s face as she gently shook her head. ‘To think it’s so easy to capture that young dragon?’
She turned and walked back toward the underwater city.
Back on the ocean floor…
A giant whale, broken in two, lay before Yebo. He raised a hand, licked his palm, and his expression turned cold. “Only I am qualified to see Yiluo’s smile. What do you think you are? You dare to look at her smile?” He paused, then muttered to himself, “Still, the Demon Flood Dragon Race and the Sea Dragon Race are indeed not easy to deal with. It seems I’ll have to contact that person!”
With a flicker, Yebo’s figure vanished from the ocean floor.
「A short time later.」
Yebo’s figure appeared on Celestial Essence Island, the home of the Celestial Essence Commerce Association. When he emerged, a brilliant smile lit up his face. “The Celestial Essence Commerce Association is backed by the Demon God Palace. With their help, I, Yebo, am determined to get that young dragon. Yiluo, you will be my wife after all!”
As the entire Azure Sky Sea churned with undercurrents set in motion by the Little Dragon Maiden’s appearance, a warship from the Mountain Wild Group was quietly sailing into the harbor of Heaven’s Edge Island, the territory of Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion—one of the ten super-factions…
