Chapter 1166. A Pot of Dragon Soup

At the same time, in the Crimson Dragon Sea of the Qingcang Immortal Realm.

Upon Violet Tarsier Island, within a grand hall of Verdant Chariot Mountain,

Lyra, Lila, Qing Ji, Yan Zi Ji, and Li Huang—5 immortals in total—had gathered together, each revealing a trace of solemnity on their faces.

The great hall remained silent for a long while before Yan Zijie finally spoke. "The Black Tortoise Patriarch and the Palace Master of Drifting Snow have also sent word. Traces of celestial demons and divine spirits have been spotted near the Heaven’s Market Island and the Great Subtlety Island."

"They fear the demon clan will intervene and wish to request our reinforcements."

Lyra shook her head, her expression grave as she spoke, "At present, my husband has yet to return. If we recklessly divide our forces now, we risk being defeated 1 by 1 and suffering significant losses."

"The Crimson Dragon Clan and the Divine Clan are pressuring them precisely to divide our forces. We must not fall into their trap."

At this point, Lyra (Person Name) spoke again: "Reassure the Venerable Black Tortoise and the Palace Master of Drifting Snow that with the power of the 3 Enclosures Grand Formation, even if the Venerable Crimson Dragon attacks, it can hold out for at least 3 days."

"If they come under attack, we can surely come to their aid within a day or 2."

"I understand."

Yan ZiJi nodded, committing the matter to memory.

At this point, as the matter came to a temporary close, Lila (Person Name) spoke up once more: "The Tianxuan Island in the southeast of the Tiansha Islands has already been occupied by the Divine Clan."

Heavenly Mystery Island?

The expressions of the women turned icy. That Celestial Mystery Island was rich in Celestial Mystery Spirit Crystals, boasting numerous high-grade mineral veins—it was 1 of the Chen Clan’s most vital mining assets in the Tiansha Archipelago.

This time, having it seized by the Eldrin was no small loss for the Chen Family either.

Lyra could only sigh helplessly at this. With the demon race and god race now united, their combined strength was truly not to be underestimated.

When Eldrin was present, things were manageable—the enemies feared his power and dared not make a move.

But now, a 1000 years after Eldrin left the Crimson Dragon Sea, news of his absence had still spread. The Crimson Dragon Clan and the Divine Clan began plotting to seize the Celestial Sand Archipelago.

The current strength of the Chen Clan was insufficient. Even with the support of 3 Islands—Sixth-Center, Purple-Feather, and Refined-Void—they still fell short when confronting the alliance of the Yaozu (Monster Race) and Shenzu (Divine Race).

At this thought, she sighed softly and said, "The Zhou Tian Astral Grand Formation (Magic Array) remains incomplete, and we cannot possibly defend every single island within the Celestial Sand Archipelago."

"Pass down the order: Have our clan members and the major immortal families focus their defense on the key immortal islands. We shall await my husband's return before making further decisions."

Upon hearing this, the ladies nodded slightly, and thus the matter was settled.

Seeing the matter settled, Qing Ji spoke up, "Among the demon and god clans these days, the younger generation has grown utterly rampant."

"I heard that Third Prince of the Crimson Dragon has come to the Crimson Dragon Sea, slaughtering over a dozen of our younger generation. Should we teach him a lesson?"

A cold gleam flashed in Lyra's eyes before she spoke moments later: "The Emptiness Illumination Temple has sent word that Xianzhu has survived the Ascension Lightning Tribulation."

Back in the day, he single-handedly dominated all the younger generation of Crimson Dragon Sea, beating even celestial demons and divine beings to the point of seething hatred.

"Now that he has attained immortality, let him return and walk this path once more."

"Very well."

Hearing that her child had attained immortality, Lila nodded slightly, a faint smile blooming in her eyes.

While the women were discussing, a sudden spiritual light flew from outside the hall and landed in Seiki's hand.

Qing Ji took 1 look and her expression instantly tightened, a deep furrow forming between her brows.

Seeing this, Lila (Person Name) couldn't help but ask, "Elder Sister, has something happened?"

Qing Ji shook her head and sighed, "Qing'er is up to her mischief again. She actually left True Lord Island in secret without telling her brother."

The Celestial Sand Sea, a spirit island lay between the heavens and the ocean.

The spirit island lay in utter ruin, strewn with countless corpses and human remains scattered across its ravaged expanse.

The young woman wandered the island in a daze, her expression utterly desolate as she gazed upon the scattered bones littering the ground.

"Fire, Qing."

"You speak of the Crimson Dragon Third Prince flooding the 7 islands, causing the deaths of hundreds of millions of our human race, with countless multitudes devoured in his gluttonous maw."

"Why is no 1 stepping in to take control?"

"Why even my own mother, a Ninth Heaven Immortal herself, told me not to come out, to return home and not interfere in these matters."

The young maiden spoke, a trace of bewilderment still lingering in her pupils.

Upon her shoulders perched 2 birds, 1 bathed in fiery light while the other gleamed in pure azure.

The fiery red bird tilted its head and replied after a moment, "I suppose they lacked sufficient strength. They feared that slaying the Third Dragon Prince of the Crimson Dragons would drive that scarlet serpent into a frenzied rampage."

The azure bird also nodded, its gaze profound as it said, "She is worried about you. If she were to kill the Third Prince of the Crimson Dragons by overpowering the weak, the Crimson Dragon Ancestor would also disregard all decorum to strike at you."

"In her eyes, you remaining within the family is the safest option."

"Is that so?"

The young woman gave a noncommittal nod. With a subtle flex of her fingers, she materialized a spear woven from Crimson Flame Qi (Spiritual Root).

Then he strode toward the depths of the sea, where a storm darkening the sky and shrouding the sun swept across the endless expanse of the ocean.

Qing'er gripped her spear, her gaze fixed on a crimson silhouette deep within the storm. A mischievous grin, long absent, crept back onto her face as she declared:

"I've heard that dragon liver and phoenix marrow are the finest celestial delicacies. Today, I shall see if they truly live up to their legendary flavor."

"Clang—"

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed as the tempest assailed the heavens.

That night, deep within the Celestial Sands Sea Region, a blazing immortal light erupted, its unparalleled shockwave submerging everything in its path.

When all had settled, the young woman dragged a battered True Dragon back with her, crashing into the Crimson Dragon Sea like a meteor from the heavens and stirring up an unprecedented uproar.

The Third Prince of the Crimson Dragon, born from refining the Azure Dragon Divine Embryo and reputed to possess foundations no weaker than Crimson Dragon Child, with the bearing of a peerless Celestial Immortal, had actually been stripped of his sinews and skinned alive by the child of the Void-Realm Daoist, then stewed into a pot of dragon broth.

This matter stirred up several surrounding great domains, and even a line of ancient immortals cast their gazes upon it.

Meanwhile, an even more dreadful silence had fallen over Crimson Dragon Island.

Within the True Dragon Pool, Chilongzi remained silent for a long while before finally speaking. "Let the younger generation settle matters among themselves."

"I understand."

The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince spoke, then ventured deep into the Crimson Dragon Sea, where he sought out a majestic figure.

That was an existence of supreme nobility, with horns of a true dragon upon its head, its body covered in crimson-gold dragon scales, emanating a wisp of near-supreme true intent.

"Brother, have you come for that good-for-nothing?"

The Crimson-Gold True Dragon spoke, a faint sneer coloring his expression.

The Crimson Dragon Crown Prince gazed at the figure before him, a flicker of complexity passing through his expression.

His father, the Crimson Dragon, had sired numerous descendants over the years. Yet most were not pure-blooded true dragons, and only 3 were qualified to be crowned Crown Princes.

These 3 were all born of the Red Dragon Lord and a True Dragon, each 1 a pure-blooded True Dragon.

They were the Great Eldrin Prince, the Third Eldrin Prince, and the Second Eldrin Prince before him.
