CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 470: GREAT TALENT BLOSSOMS LATE (SECOND UPDATE, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE)

"Who dares to fight!"

At this moment, the East Pole Celestial Venerable asked again, his aura strong, like a crossbow arrow ready to be shot at any moment.

The five Divinity Transformations of the East Sea lineage retreated one after another, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes.

The East Pole Celestial Venerable looked on coldly, operating his cultivation techniques, absorbing spiritual qi to restore his magical power.

"Now you have two choices, either leave Chu Country, or I’ll kill you!" The East Pole Celestial Venerable said menacingly, "One, two..."

He didn’t even finish counting to three.

Suddenly, a stream of light flickered, and the four Divinity Transformations vanished.

The East Pole Celestial Venerable, watching this scene, also breathed a sigh of relief.

Transformed into a stream of light, disappearing.

The Human Race was cheering, whereas the Sea Race was in sorrow.

The Sea Race was defeated, although they still had reinforcements and could mobilize some leaders, the initial defeat was already set.

In desolation, many from the Sea Race retreated quickly.

They didn’t stop until they were a hundred thousand miles from the East Sea.

...

In a flash, the East Pole Celestial Venerable disappeared.

In just an instant, he returned to the East Pole Peak, and upon entering the cave mansion, he immediately activated the mountain protection array. Instantly, the formation on the peak began to operate, with ripples appearing in the void, like water light rippling out, spreading to a hundred miles around.

The array patterns in the void were activated, like a wilderness giant beast awakening.

The Nine Heavens Demon Slaying Array was already being activated.

With the activation of the array, countless spirit stones were consumed, turning into the power source of the array; simultaneously, as the array operated, it frantically drew upon the spiritual qi underground to support the array.

At this moment, the array’s power was activated to its strongest, even if a Divinity Transformation powerhouse intruded, they would suffer severe injuries or even fall.

At the Divinity Transformation Realm, it was difficult for a cultivator to be killed unless they were extremely cautious; if they recklessly intruded into an array, trapped in a desperate situation, they could also fall.

Pfft!

Within the cave mansion, after sitting for just a moment, the East Pole Celestial Venerable spat blood, his aura dwindling.

The once powerful aura receded like a tide, and at this moment, several forces such as Profound Nether Magical Power, Dragon God’s Magical Power, Dream Magic Power, and Corrosive Magical Power were invading his flesh, draining his life origin, with his qi and blood continuously declining.

He took out a healing elixir and swallowed it, then operated his cultivation technique to forcibly suppress the injury.

"Such strong East Sea Divinity Transformations!"

The East Pole Celestial Venerable sighed, "These injuries will require at least thirty years of recuperation. What I can do for Chu Country is only this!"

He closed his eyes and again operated his cultivation technique to begin healing.

...

Cough, cough!

In the blink of an eye, Jade Dragon King and the other three Divinity Transformations disappeared.

Retreating continuously a hundred thousand miles.

At this moment, Jade Dragon King spoke, "I sensed for a moment, the East Pole Celestial Venerable is injured. If we seize the opportunity and strike again, we might trap and kill him!"

Black Tortoise King spoke, "Not wise. What if East Pole is feigning weakness to lure us in; what then?"

"Old tortoise, you’re such a coward!"

Jade Dragon King scolded.

"Haha!" Black Tortoise King was not angry, laughing, "I, Old Tortoise, am indeed a coward. But tell me, which cultivator is not afraid of death? If not afraid, why cultivate immortality? Believe it or not, if you fall into East Pole Celestial Venerable’s trap, you might all fall, but I would survive!"

Jade Dragon King was at a loss for words.

In terms of combat power, Black Tortoise King was average, but in terms of survival ability, he was top-tier.

Double Sword King said, "We should still retreat! Even if East Pole Celestial Venerable is injured, to kill him we might also lose one or two Divinity Transformations. It’s not worth it, better to retreat!"

"Indeed!"

Silver Shark King spoke, "Fellow Daoists, let the younger generation fight the bloody battles! We should sit in the rear and stabilize everything! Engaging in a large-scale battle with the Human Race is not worthwhile now, even if we conquer the Eastern Wilderness, what then? In Central State, Nanling, Northern Wilderness, Western Border, and faraway Ancestor Continent, there are other places where the Human Race will take action!"

"Shooting the bird that stands out; being too conspicuous could lead to being attacked by Human Race experts!"

"The Human Race has deep foundations, with strong figures continuously emerging. Previously, our East Sea lineage had a Harmonization expert fall among them, we must control the pace of the war!"

Black Tortoise King said, "As for the Human Race’s strength, let those Nascent Soul youngsters go and try it! We should refrain from action!"

The other kings also spoke up, their attitude very clear; fighting was fine, but let the younger ones take the lead.

Jade Dragon King watched this scene, fuming continuously, yet helpless.

These Divinity Transformation kings were all biding time. But as long as there was no clear split, one could only endure.

One can’t just kill the dissenting cultivators because of differing opinions; otherwise, the East Sea lineage would have long been divided.

Also, don’t consider waging war with the Human Race, killing your own people is enough to keep you occupied for a while.

...

In a flash, the East Sea King disappeared.

With swift steps, he returned to the Dragon King Palace.

The crystal-built palace, located under the sea, appeared luxurious and elegant.

In the palace, graceful beauties walked about; there were also guards in golden armor patrolling back and forth.

Jade Dragon King walked through the palace, after walking for a long time, reached the depths of the palace, finally arriving in front of a coffin.

The coffin was made of black divine wood, deep and dark, with golden patterns and death qi permeating above it.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

At this moment, Jade Dragon King stepped forward and respectfully said.

"What...happened...?"

At this moment, a voice came from the coffin, as if it hadn’t spoken in a long time, the words came hesitantly and were not smooth.

"Senior, I encountered a strong enemy in the East Sea, that enemy is known as East Pole... Even with the four of us together, we are no match." Jade Dragon King spoke, "I beseech Ancestor to take action, to suppress East Pole, and sweep the Eastern Wilderness!"

"East Pole, which one is their successor, is it the White Bone Daoist’s successor, or Joyful Union’s successor, or the Purple Sun Daoist’s legacy..." The old voice in the coffin asked.

The inquiry referred to the well-known powerhouses of their era, White Bone Daoist, Joyful Union Demon Master, Purple Sun Daoist.

These three were also Eastern Wilderness powerhouses, not only in the Eastern Wilderness but also renowned in the Purple Mansion Realm as peerless powerhouses.

"Once the Eastern Wilderness suffered a calamity, the Joyful Union Demon Sect was long exterminated, there’s a Joyful Union Demon Sect in Yue Country, seemingly having obtained a part of the incomplete tradition; the White Bone Demon Sect also met with destruction, only a few White Bone Dao powerhouses remain, their strongest merely Nascent Soul. As for the Purple Sun Sect, it disappeared without trace!"

Jade Dragon King said, "As for the East Pole Daoist, they are just a Golden Core Family offspring, found with no Spirit Root when tested at the age of six. They wandered in the Mortal World for over a decade as just a Mortal World Martial Artist, became a Three Spirit Roots Cultivator after taking a Spirit Root, with average qualitie, demonstrating exceptional talent only after reaching Nascent Soul Cultivator."

"It’s ironic, most of the prodigies later perished, while this inconspicuous one ended up standing out."
