CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 392: WHY NOT ASK HIM TO COME BACK?_3

At the distant reaches of the Green Heaven, amid the dim shadows of the clouds, Li Shenyu silently observed the battle.

By his side stood a man clad in dark armor, with a rough-hewn face, known as the Soul Bear Martial Saint. The words just spoken were his.

Li Shenyu’s face remained calm as he indifferently said, "After all, the Daxuan Dynasty was once the super-dynasty that unified the Eastern Wilderness of the Divine Continent and is not much inferior to our Soul Killing sect."

"Tang Tianyi harbored foolish dreams of establishing the Yun Dynasty and exploring the Unconventional Tao Realms. If not for this, these Sects would never have been able to stir up any trouble."

Having said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "But times change. Bo Qing will ultimately still have to be recalled by the Daxuan Dynasty."

「Elsewhere.」

Watching the battle were not only Li Shenyu and the Soul Bear Martial Saint, but also Shi Lingfang. In fact, all the Martial Saints associated with the nine Great Dream Seeds were paying close attention to the sudden outbreak of war in the Eastern Wilderness of the Divine Continent.

The Demon Clan has a tradition of the "Ten Thousand Domains Battle for Supremacy," but the Human Race does not.

Such a vast war sweeping across an entire continent is indeed rare among the Human Race. What’s more, the Martial Saints were subconsciously inquiring about the stance of the Heavenly Palace.

「One day later.」

Yue Mountain Sect was destroyed!

The Daxuan Dynasty reclaimed Yue State, which it had lost control of, and now directed its troops towards Sea State, occupied by the Four Seas Sect.

However, unlike the previous lightning war, the Four Seas Sect had been forewarned by the fate of Yue Mountain Sect and was on alert early on.

Furthermore, the alliance armies of the various Sects also took to the road, one after another, to support the Four Seas Sect.

The battle heated up.

Facing the prepared Sect Alliance, the Daxuan Dynasty could no longer crush them as effortlessly as it had Yue Mountain Sect.

Above the Green Heaven, war erupted anew.

However, this time, it was the Sect Alliance that controlled the situation!

"I am Qinglu Guanhai—if you wish for death, then come forth."

The tone of the Ocean-viewing Taoist from Qinglu Taoist Temple was frigid. His eyes shot out two beams of blue light. With a single step, he traversed a great distance, unleashing a terrifyingly vast aura.

"Cease your insolence," the Wooden Phoenix Marquis from the Daxuan Dynasty bellowed as he pounced toward the Ocean-viewing Taoist.

"Seeking death," the Ocean-viewing Taoist snorted. His arms shook, and he unfurled a painting scroll. Within it raged floods and tsunamis, an apocalyptic scene.

In an instant, the scroll turned into reality, and boundless, bizarre giant waves surged forth, engulfing the Wooden Phoenix Marquis.

The Wooden Phoenix Marquis’s face changed drastically in a moment, and he cried out, "Cold Marrow Divine Water?!"

The Cold Marrow Divine Water, though not one of the top ten strange waters, was still exceedingly dreadful owing to its extreme chill. Once touched, one would be immediately frozen—not just the body, but the soul as well!

This attack drove the Wooden Phoenix Marquis into a panic-stricken flight.

But it was futile. He was still encased in ice by the astonishing tidal waves formed from the Cold Marrow Divine Water and crashed down to the mortal realm.

After stowing away the painting scroll, the Ocean-viewing Taoist arrogantly said, "Anyone not afraid of death, come at me!"

The Martial Saints of the Daxuan Dynasty tried to rescue the Wooden Phoenix Marquis; some sought reinforcements. But none dared to directly confront the ferocity of the Ocean-viewing Taoist.

A month’s salary of Immortal Nuance Stones isn’t worth risking their lives.

...

The royal palace courtyard held an array of splendid palaces, adorned with bronze tiles and gilded rooftops. Here, the rulers of the Daxuan Dynasty were gathered for an urgent discussion, their expressions somber.

"This Ocean-viewing Taoist relies on the Holy Artifact ’Cloud Sea Scroll’ to impede the Wooden Phoenix Marquis and others. What do you think we should do?"

"If you ask me, we should simply stop dueling their champions. This Ocean-viewing Taoist is but a mere sixth-order Martial Saint. Without duels, he can’t unleash his ferocity!"

"Absolutely not! We mustn’t escalate the situation so abruptly. If those old monsters from the major Sects all take action, our military expedition would become meaningless..."

Meanwhile, Phoenix Princess Tang Xi was busy handling miscellaneous affairs.

She listened to the Elders’ vexing words and saw the worry in her imperial father’s eyes. Tentatively, she suggested, "Bo Qing is extremely powerful and has even participated in the great war between the two clans. Why not call him back?"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes suddenly lit up.
