Chapter 732 Flooding the Tianxu Continent

"What a perfect opportunity!"

Seizing the opportunity, Eldrin could no longer afford to conceal his trump card and unleashed the Heaven's Golden Wing Slash.

In an instant, a pair of golden wings unfurled behind him. With a sharp whistle, he transformed into a golden streak of light and charged before the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor. Then, he summoned the Sky-Severing Twin Swords, merging them into a single strike that pierced through the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor, pinning him lifeless in the void.

Pitiful was the Blackscale Crocodile Demonic Emperor, a mighty cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage. Had he focused solely on escape, even a peak Nascent Soul expert might not have been able to detain him.

Little did they expect that Eldrin possessed the Heaven's Golden Wing Slash (Cultivation Art), enabling him to seize that fleeting moment of opportunity to traverse the vast distance and strike him down.

At the very moment Eldrin made his move, Lyra, with impeccable timing, summoned the 9 Dragons Wheel, managing to restrain the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor for an instant.

"How dare you!"

In that single breath's span, witnessing the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor's demise, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) erupted in fury. Unable to restrain himself, he summoned the Cyan Jade Ruler of Heaven's Measure, intent on striking down Lyra (Person Name) and Azure Ji where they stood.

Unfortunately, Eldrin possessed the Heaven's Golden Wing Slash. With a single beat of his wings, he could traverse 1 100 and 8 1000 miles through the void. In barely the span of a single breath, he had already flown before the 2 women.

With a casual flick of his hand, the Green Abyss Sword (Magic Treasure) shot from his sleeve with a metallic ring, clashing against the Cyan Jade Heaven-Measuring Ruler.

"Boom—"

The clash between 2 Pure Yang Spirit Treasures erupted in a spectacular collision, instantly tearing countless fissures across the void spanning tens of thousands of miles in all directions.

Seeing that the Verdant Jade Heaven-Measuring Ruler could do nothing to Eldrin (Person Name), the Gold and Silver Emperors immediately shifted expressions.

Now that the Blackscale Crocodile Emperor had fallen in battle, continuing the fight would only place the 2 of them in far greater peril.

At that thought, the Golden Dragon Fish Demon Emperor immediately sent a voice transmission to Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast), "Your Majesty, it seems we cannot prevail against them today."

"The days ahead are long. Why not wait until you break through to the Nascent Soul realm before taking action?"

Hearing this, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of chill flashing through his pupils before it was instantly suppressed.

In today's battle, they could not gain the upper hand. Continuing to fight would likely result in nothing better than mutual destruction.

Although the Gold and Silver Emperors had consumed his Dragon Transformation Fruit and owed him a favor, such favors had their limits. They likely wouldn’t risk their lives fighting for his sake.

If I refused to retreat, the Gold and Silver Emperors would likely turn and leave immediately. That would trigger a full-scale rout and lead to even greater losses.

At that thought, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) channeled his power into the Cyan Jade Heaven-Cleaving Blade, forcing the crowd back with a sweeping arc. His gaze turned frosty as he declared, "Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss, I have witnessed your methods today."

"Back then, you were but a mere nobody. Little did I expect you would grow into such a calamity. When this emperor breaks through to the Nascent Soul realm, I shall return to settle our score."

As the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) finished speaking, he led the crowd to retreat into the distance.

Seeing the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) about to leave, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) suppressed the killing intent in his heart.

In truth, he had no desire to retreat from this battle, for he wished to slay Kael (Person Name) and exact vengeance. Yet this was not a decision within his power to make.

5 100 years ago, he alone could make the entire Chen Clan view him as a formidable enemy, but now he was likely far from being a match for the Chen Clan.

It is done

Seeing the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) retreat, everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

With a faint smile, the Azure Verse Wanderer couldn't help but exclaim with unrestrained joy, "Since that Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) knew to retreat when outmatched, our Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) can finally establish our foothold along the shores of the vast marshlands."

Lingxu Xianzi (Person Name) also smiled, "Indeed. By establishing this nation and continent, we shall become 1 of its founding pioneers. In the future, we shall bask in the boundless providence of the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location). Perhaps I, too, may have the chance to glimpse the late Nascent Soul (Cultivation Realm) stage."

They could not help but rejoice, for the opportunity presented by Li Zhou held immense benefits for everyone.

Taking the case of Ethereal Void Immortal as an example, she was originally a Nascent Soul, 4th Tier (Cultivation Realm) cultivator in her previous life. After falling in battle during the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss, her reincarnation lacked a wisp of innate primordial qi, making her breakthroughs significantly more challenging.

Hundreds of years had passed since she broke through to the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm). While Yan Zijie (Person Name), who achieved the breakthrough around the same time, had already cultivated to the Nascent Soul, 6th Tier (Cultivation Realm), she remained at the Nascent Soul, 4th Tier (Cultivation Realm). This revealed how exceedingly arduous her path of cultivation had become.

Now that the establishment of the celestial realm was imminent, the path of the Ethereal Void Fairy seemed to have cleared considerably in the unseen workings of fate.

For Eldrin (Person Name), once the continent stabilization succeeded, his cultivation speed would increase yet another notch. It was entirely possible he might reach the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul realm before the next Abyssal Cataclysm.

At this thought, Eldrin said, "Let's make a trip to the Divine Bird Peak and see if the enemies there have retreated."

When the group arrived at the Divine Bird Peak, they discovered the enemies outside the mountain had already retreated.

The Daoist of the 9 Rivers stroked his beard and said with a smile, "The Primordial Savage Bull Demon Emperor possesses formidable strength, yet even he holds the prestige of your Chen Family in awe."

After exchanging fewer than 10 moves with this old man and realizing he could do nothing against me, he hastily withdrew.

Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but show relieved smiles. Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) then said, "It seems that establishing this continent may proceed even more smoothly than we anticipated."

Meanwhile, within the Emerald Wave Lake.

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) cast an indifferent gaze upon the assembly of surrounding Demon Monarchs, yet the more he contemplated, the more his fury swelled within.

In their glorious days, Bibo Lake boasted multiple late-stage Nascent Soul experts like the Purple Radiance Thunder Dragon and Zhuan Chou Jun, as well as extraordinary bloodline descendants such as the 5-Colored Heaven-Devouring Python.

Back in the day, he had been utterly outmaneuvered by Dorian. The Script-Sorrow Lord turned out to be the reincarnated disciple of Dorian, while the Violet Radiance Thunder Dragon was none other than his second primordial fetus.

This matter had always been like a bone stuck in the throat of the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast). Even after hundreds of years had passed, it remained a festering wound in his heart, fueling his deep-seated hatred for Dorian (Person Name).

Now that Dorian had broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, he was utterly outmatched in both intellect and strength, leaving him no choice but to vent his hatred upon Eldrin and the others.

Little did he expect that after this battle, the Blackscale Crocodile Ancestor—whom he had painstakingly nurtured to the late Nascent Soul stage—would also fall in battle once more.

Although the remaining Gold and Silver Emperors had also reached the late Yuanying stage by consuming his Dragon Transformation Fruit, it appeared from today’s events that their loyalties no longer lay with him.

At this thought, the rage in Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast)'s heart grew increasingly difficult to quell.

"Dorian, the Daoist of the Returning Abyss!"

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) harbored a hatred as immense as mountains and seas. In his towering rage, he tore several precious treasures to shreds on the spot.

Observing the situation, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) noticed the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) still simmering with residual fury. Seizing the opportunity, he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have a plan that may avenge the Black Crocodile Demon Emperor."

"Oh?"

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) shifted his gaze slightly and inquired with a trace of chill in his voice, "Speak your mind!"

The Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) fell into a brief silence before speaking slowly, enunciating each word with deliberate weight: "Dig open the Yandang Mountain Range."

"What did you say?!"

Everyone present changed countenance, a trace of disbelief flashing across their faces.

The Yandang Mountain Range served as the natural boundary between the Emerald Wave Lake and the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location). To the west of Yandang Mountain lay the vast expanse of the Emerald Wave Lake, while to the east stretched the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location).

Once the Yandang Mountain Range is excavated, the waters of the Bibo Lake can be fully unleashed to completely submerge the Myriad Ruins Continent.
