Chapter 733 Countermeasures

Faced with the crowd's astonishment, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) spoke with a chilling gaze, "Once we excavate the Yandang Mountains, we can divert the waters from the Bibo Lake and even the Boundless Sea into the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location)."

By then, the waters of the endless expanse of Emerald Wave Lake would cascade inward, submerging the entirety of half the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location) and even the lands west of the Cerulean Peaks Range (Location) within the Chu Kingdom (Location) beneath catastrophic floods.

All but a few lofty mountains transformed into spirit islands, while the majority of the celestial races and hundreds of millions of mortal humans would perish beneath the deluge.

At this point, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) took a deep breath and said, "While this cannot harm Eldrin (Person Name) and the others, it is more than enough to wipe out 90 percent of the immortal clans on the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location)."

"Within the 100 1000 li of barren wilderness under his Chen Clan's dominion, aren't they said to have 10 billion mortal souls? Let's see what means he'll employ to save them when the time comes!"

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions shifted slightly. The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) seemed somewhat swayed by his words.

A nearby Eldrin Dragon Emperor couldn't help but caution, "But doing so would likely drain the Azure Wave Lake's waters significantly, causing most of its aqueous primordial energy to dissipate."

"Yet Bibo Lake is 1 of the primary water element branches within the Vast Marsh. I fear that individual will be enraged upon learning of this."

Witnessing this, the Purple Jade Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) said with a faint chill in his gaze, "Those who achieve great things do not cling to trivialities. Your Majesty, the Azure Flood Dragon, is 1 destined to impact the Nascent Soul. If you suffer repeated losses without seeking retribution, I fear it may become an inner demon hindering your path to the Nascent Soul."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had initially been somewhat hesitant, but these words finally solidified his resolve.

When breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm, conviction and courage are of utmost importance. If the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) were to lose his fighting spirit, he would likely find it difficult to reach the Nascent Soul realm.

"Extraordinary individuals undertake extraordinary deeds."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor’s (Demon Beast) gaze turned icy as he declared with unyielding resolve, “Cease your persuasions. This sovereign has resolved to drown the Myriad Ruins Continent (Location).”

"As for Grandfather, I shall personally explain matters to him."

The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) was swift and decisive in action, never hesitating to strike once he set his mind to it.

He immediately summoned all the Nascent Soul Demon Emperors to excavate the Yandang Mountain Range together, even resorting to unleashing the Cyan Jade Ruler That Measures the Heavens, determined to submerge the Myriad Ruins Continent in 1 fell swoop.

That day, as the group was guarding the Boundary Stele, Eldrin suddenly felt his heart racing, as if some great calamity was imminent.

He immediately turned to the assembled crowd and couldn't resist asking, "Has our clan encountered any significant events recently?"

A major event?

Everyone shook their heads, yet you didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

Lyra, however, wore a grave expression and couldn't resist speaking up, "Something does seem amiss. I have an extremely ominous premonition."

"Something's wrong."

At that very moment, someone emerged from the teleportation array and urgently sought out the group.

The newcomer was the Eldrin True Monarch of the Ling family, who should have been guarding the Lingxu Lake at this moment, yet unexpectedly appeared here.

Seeing the crowd, True Monarch Ling’s face tightened with urgency. “Disaster has struck!” he exclaimed. “The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) and his forces have breached Mount Yandang! The waters of Emerald Wave Lake are now flooding inward, threatening to submerge the entire Myriad Ruins Continent (Location)!”

Boom—

Everyone felt their minds go blank, their faces revealing utter astonishment. None had expected the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) to commit such an act—harming others while gaining no benefit for himself.

This was an act of reshaping heaven and earth, turning mulberry fields into vast oceans—a deed destined to bear karma of immense proportions.

"Whoosh—"

After a moment of astonishment, everyone immediately set off, directly teleporting to Lingxu Lake via the formation.

Soon after, Eldrin appeared before the Yandang Mountain Range, his face contorted with extreme vexation.

At this moment, the Yandang Mountain Range had been torn open. The boundless waters of Bibo Lake surged through the breach, flooding into the Ling Kingdom with overwhelming force, threatening to submerge the entire nation completely.

Kael calculated for a moment, then drew a deep breath and said, "At this rate, the entire Ling Kingdom will be completely submerged within 3 years. In 10 years, over half of the Myriad Ruins Continent—including the Chu Kingdom—will become an endless ocean."

Chen Ethan’s expression shifted repeatedly, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Can this breach be sealed?”

"This is the water from a 10-million-mile expanse of the Emerald Wave Lake—utterly unstoppable. What could possibly block it?" The Carefree Verdant Verse Immortal sighed, then continued, "Even if we manage to dam it, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) could simply dig another channel."

"Goddammit, this Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) is unworthy of being a demon emperor! If you have the guts, face me in a proper magical duel!"

A True Monarch of the Ling Clan couldn’t hold back a curse. The onslaught of these 10 million li of emerald waves would hit their Ling Kingdom the hardest.

Based on the current water levels, it's estimated that within 5 years their family's fifth-tier spirit island will be completely submerged. By then, maintaining the water-repelling array formation would likely become a massive annual expenditure.

Lingxu Xianzi (Person Name) furrowed her brows and spoke up to stop them, "Enough, cease your cursing. We should focus on how to resolve this matter."

Eldrin said nothing more. Only after observing for a long while and deducing with the Great Deduction of Yin-Yang and the Stars Art did he finally let out a slight sigh of relief.

Seeing this, Qing Ji (Person Name) nearby couldn't help but ask, "Have you thought of a way?"

Eldrin nodded, conjuring an illusory map with his magical power before stating plainly, "If we divert the waters of Emerald Ripple Lake through the borders of Ling and Yan Kingdoms into The Vast Sea, it may resolve this predicament."

Everyone turned their gaze to the illusory map upon hearing this. Within the map, Eldrin (Person Name) continuously employed earth-shattering methods—cleaving mountains to forge paths, relocating peaks to fill seas, and constructing massive dams—to divert endless lake waters toward the southeast.

Following this method, the waters of Bibo Lake would traverse half of the Ling Kingdom and a small portion of the Yan Kingdom, ultimately flowing into the master of The Vast Sea (Location).

And the outcome of it all was that half of Ling Nation was submerged, a small portion of Yan Nation suffered disaster, and the water level of The Vast Sea (Location) rose dramatically.

Most astonishingly, once the waters of Emerald Ripple Lake were channeled into The Vast Sea (Location), they would submerge the million-mile primordial wilderness between The Vast Sea (Location) and Purple Jade Lake (Location).

By then, the 5,000,000-li Purple Jade Lake (Location) will merge with the 8,000,000-li The Vast Sea (Location). Combined with the expansion of The Vast Sea (Location) brought by the waters of Emerald Wave Lake, it is estimated that the area of The Vast Sea (Location) will double in size.

At that time, The Vast Sea spanning over 10 million li would become the foremost among the 7 great lakes of Eastern Wastelands, while Emerald Wave Lake would fall from its second position to the very last among the 7 great lakes.

Seizing the water elemental power of the Boundless Marsh to strengthen The Vast Sea (Location)—this was what Elder Qing had once aspired to accomplish yet failed to achieve. Now, it seemed the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) might succeed where he had faltered.

Lilith, Mistress of Desire (Person Name) stared at the ethereal map for a long while before finally shaking her head again. "The waters of Emerald Wave Lake stretch beyond the horizon," she said. "With our capabilities, no matter how extensively we build dams or attempt to move mountains and fill seas, it would likely remain impossible to dredge them."

Eldrin nodded slightly and said calmly, "Indeed, with our current strength, it is truly insufficient. However, there exists 1 whose power is more than adequate to accomplish this."

"You mean"

Lyra's eyes lit up, unable to suppress a flicker of delight.

Eldrin nodded with a faint smile. "Maris the Sea Steader stands unmatched beneath the Nascent Soul realm in the Eastern Wastelands. His Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure, the Sea-Quelling Pearl, can pacify the boundless fury of the oceans."

"If he were willing to lend his aid, he could stabilize the aqueous essence of the Emerald Ripple Lake and channel it into The Vast Sea (Location)."
