Chapter 733 : The Deluge of the Demon Emperor

Facing the astonishment of the crowd, Purple Jade Demon Emperor spoke with a chilling gaze, "Once we breach the Wild Goose Range Mountains, we can divert the waters of Azure Wave Lake and even the vast Boundless Marsh into the Myriad Ruins Continent."

"When that time comes, the waters of the thousand-mile Azure Wave Lake will cascade inward. The entire western half of the Myriad Ruins Continent, including the lands west of the Cerulean Peaks Range within the Chu Kingdom, will be utterly submerged by the deluge."

"Then, aside from a few lofty peaks transformed into Spirit Islands, the majority of Immortal Clans and billions upon billions of Human Race mortals will perish beneath the floodwaters."

At this point, Purple Jade Demon Emperor drew a deep breath and said, "While this may not harm Eldrin, the Abyss and his ilk, it will be sufficient to annihilate nine out of ten Immortal Clans on the Myriad Ruins Continent."

"His Chen Clan boasts of billions of mortals within their Hundred-Thousand-Mile Wilderness, does it not? Let us see what he will use to save them then!"

Upon hearing this, the expressions of all present shifted subtly. The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor seemed somewhat swayed by his words.

A nearby Flood Dragon Demon Emperor witnessing this could not help but interject a warning, "However, such an act would drastically reduce the water volume of Azure Wave Lake, causing the majority of its contained Water Essence Power [the spiritual power inherent in water] to dissipate."

"And Azure Wave Lake is one of the primary aquatic tributaries within the Vast and Boundless Marsh. I fear the one who rules there would be enraged upon learning of this."

Purple Jade Demon Emperor, seeing this, replied with a cold glint in his eyes, "Those who achieve great deeds cannot be bound by trivial concerns. Your Majesty, the Green Flood Dragon, is one who aspires to break through to the Primordial Spirit [the highest spiritual core of a cultivator] realm. If you suffer repeated setbacks without retaliation, I fear it may become a demon in your heart [a mental obstacle or inner demon hindering cultivation]."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor had initially harbored some hesitation, but these final words solidified his resolve completely. Find thousands of chapters at *audio-novel.com*.

When breaking through to the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator, representing a profound level of power and enlightenment] realm, conviction and audacity are of paramount importance. If the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor loses his inner drive and spirit, I fear he would find it exceedingly difficult to achieve that breakthrough.

"Extraordinary individuals undertake extraordinary deeds."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor's gaze turned icy, his voice resolute and sharp. "Cease your counsel. This Emperor has decided to flood the Myriad Ruins Continent."

"As for my grandfather, I shall personally provide an explanation to him."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor was a being of decisive action; when he resolved to move, he moved with swift and terrible purpose.

He immediately summoned the other Nascent Soul Demon Emperors [powerful demonic beings who have cultivated their souls to a nascent, embryonic state of immense power] and together they began to breach the Wild Goose Range Mountains. He went so far as to unleash the Azure Jade Heaven-Measuring Ruler [a legendary artifact of immense power, said to be capable of measuring the heavens themselves], determined to drown the Myriad Ruins Continent in a single, cataclysmic deluge.

On this day, as the group was guarding the World-Anchoring Stele [a mystical monument said to stabilize the very fabric of a region], Eldrin Chen suddenly felt his heart pound violently, a profound sense of impending calamity washing over him.

He immediately turned to the others present and could not help but ask, "Has anything of great import occurred within the clan recently?"

"Great import?"

The others shook their heads, yet you too seemed unable to perceive any specific cause for the foreboding.

Lyra Jiang wore a grave expression, unable to hold back from speaking, "Something does indeed feel amiss. I have a profoundly ominous premonition."

"Disaster has struck!"

At that very moment, someone emerged from the Teleportation Formation and rushed to find the assembled group with frantic urgency.

The newcomer was a Nascent Soul True Lord from the Ling Clan, who should have been stationed to guard Ethereal Void Lake. Unexpectedly, he had arrived here.

Upon seeing the group, the Ling Clan True Lord spoke with anxious haste, "Catastrophe! Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor and his forces have breached the Wild Goose Range Mountain. Now, the waters of Azure Wave Lake are pouring through, creating a deluge that threatens to drown the entire Myriad Ruins Continent!"

"Boom—"

The minds of the assembled cultivators went blank. One by one, expressions of utter shock and disbelief dawned on their faces. They could not fathom that Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor would commit such a self-destructive act, one that harmed others without benefiting himself.

This was an act of reshaping heaven and earth, turning fertile plains into a vast ocean. It was destined to incur an immense Karmic Burden [a metaphysical debt of cause and effect, a heavy consequence for disrupting the natural order].

"Whoosh—"

After a moment of stunned silence, the group sprang into action. They immediately utilized the Teleportation Formation to travel directly to Ethereal Void Lake.

Not long after, Eldrin Chen appeared before the Wild Goose Range Mountains, his face etched with profound dismay.

He saw that the Wild Goose Range Mountains had been breached. The boundless waters of the Azure Wave Lake were pouring through the gap into Ling Nation, threatening to completely submerge the nation.

Kael Chen calculated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "At this rate, Ling Nation will be completely flooded within three years. Within ten years, most of the Myriad Ruins Continent, including the Chu Kingdom, will become a vast ocean."

Ethan Chen's expression shifted repeatedly. He couldn't help but ask, "Can the breach be sealed?"

"This is the water from a lake spanning millions of Li-lengths [one Li-length equals five hundred meters]. Its momentum is unstoppable. What could possibly seal it?" Qingci the Recluse sighed and added, "Furthermore, even if we seal it, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor could simply dig it open again."

"Damn it! That Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor is unworthy of the title Demon Emperor! If he has any courage, let him face us in direct combat!" Support the author by reading on @udio-novel.com.

A True Lord from the Ling Clan couldn't hold back his curses. The deluge from the million-Li-length Azure Wave Lake would hit their Ling Nation the hardest.

Based on the current water flow, he estimated their clan's Fifth Rank Spirit Island would be submerged within five years. Maintaining a water-repelling Formation [a complex array of energy channels and symbols used to create magical effects] would then become a colossal annual expense.

Lingxu the Ethereal Immortal frowned and interjected, "Enough. Cursing solves nothing. We must focus on finding a solution."

Eldrin Chen remained silent. He observed the scene from the air for a long time, then used his Great Derivation Yin-Yang Stellar Dao [a supreme divination art that calculates the interplay of cosmic forces] to deduce the situation. Only after this prolonged analysis did he finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Verdant Consort [a powerful female cultivator] who stood nearby could not help but ask, "Have you thought of a way?"

Eldrin Chen nodded. Using his Mana [the spiritual energy used by cultivators to perform feats], he conjured an ethereal map and stated directly, "If we divert the waters of Azure Wave Lake [a vast spiritual lake], skirting the borders of Ling Nation and Yvonne Nation, and channel them into the Lord of the Vast Sea [a title for a powerful cultivator associated with a great sea], perhaps we can resolve this trouble."

Everyone turned their gaze to the Ethereal Map [a magical, illusory map]. Upon it, they watched as Eldrin Chen employed earth-shaping techniques—cleaving mountains to forge paths, moving peaks to fill valleys, and constructing massive dams—to guide the boundless lake waters southeastward.

According to this plan, the waters of Azure Wave Lake would traverse half of Ling Nation and a significant portion of Yvonne Nation, ultimately flowing into the Lord of the Vast Sea's domain.

The consequence would be the flooding of half of Ling Nation and a large swath of Yvonne Nation, causing the water level of The Vast Sea [a great inland sea] to rise dramatically.

Most astonishingly, once the waters of Azure Wave Lake were channeled into The Vast Sea, they would also inundate the million-Li-length [one Li-length equals five hundred meters] expanse of Great Wilderness [a vast, untamed region] lying between The Vast Sea and Purple Jade Lake [another great spiritual lake].

Thereafter, the five-hundred-thousand-Li-length Purple Jade Lake would merge with the eight-hundred-thousand-Li-length The Vast Sea. Combined with the expansion caused by the influx from Azure Wave Lake, the area of The Vast Sea was estimated to double.

Thus, The Vast Sea, spanning over ten million Li-length, would become the foremost of the Seven Great Lakes of the Eastern Wastelands [a major geographical region], while Azure Wave Lake would fall from its position as the second greatest lake to the very last.

Stealing the Water Essence Power [the concentrated spiritual energy of water] from the Vast and Boundless Marsh [a massive wetland] to empower The Vast Sea—this was what the Verdant Daoist [a title for a past cultivator] had wished to do but failed. Now, it seemed the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor [a powerful demonic ruler] might accomplish it.

Lilith, Mistress of Desire [a powerful cultivator] stared at the Ethereal Map for a long while before finally shaking her head. "The waters of Azure Wave Lake are boundless and mighty," she said. "With our power, no matter how many dams we build or how many mountains we move and seas we fill, I fear it will be exceedingly difficult to create such a channel."

Eldrin Chen gave a slight nod and said calmly, "Indeed. With our strength alone, it is insufficient. However, there is one whose power is more than adequate to accomplish this task."

"You mean..."

Lyra Jiang's eyes brightened, and she could not help but reveal a flicker of joy.

Eldrin Chen nodded again, a faint smile gracing his lips as he continued, "Maris the Sea Steader [a title meaning 'Steadier of the Seas'] is hailed as the foremost expert beneath the Primordial Spirit [the spiritual core of a cultivator] realm within the Eastern Wastelands. The Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure [a supreme-grade artifact imbued with pure Yang energy] in his possession, the 'Sea-Steadying Divine Pearl', possesses the power to pacify the boundless Vast Sea Power [the primordial energy of the ocean]."

"If he is willing to lend his aid, he can stabilize the Water Essence Power [the concentrated spiritual essence of water] within Azure Wave Lake and guide its flow into The Vast Sea." Join our community of readers at audio–novel.com.
