King of Creation

"Fourth Brother, tell me, how did you manage to avoid Yang Ben's final deadly move?" The Great Sage of the Overturning Sea carried Ye Zhen on the Overturning Sea Command Flag, with the Great Sage of Jinghai, the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking, and the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea guarding on both sides, swiftly returning to Heavenly Wing Island,

not far from Yin Yang Island when the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking couldn't help but ask.

"Well, to speak of it, it's just that I was lucky..."

Just as he spoke halfway, Ye Zhen's voice paused. Seeing the curious face of the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking, Ye Zhen suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame and instantly dismissed the idea of casually brushing it off.

After all, on Yin Yang Island, these fellows had risked their lives to protect him, so he withdrew the careless words he was about to utter!

"Third Brother, the main thing is, I have a life-saving treasure!" Ye Zhen said.

"What kind of treasure?" The Great Sage of Sea-Breaking looked curious!

"A soul artifact, an auxiliary type of soul artifact that can instantly activate a rather strong defensive shield!" Ye Zhen said!

"An auxiliary soul artifact?"

The Great Sage of Sea-Breaking's gaze towards Ye Zhen changed suddenly, even with a hint of astonishment, "An auxiliary soul artifact, you actually have an auxiliary soul artifact? I've never seen one before, quickly take it out and let me see!"

"Third Brother!"

The Great Sage of Jinghai glared at the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking with dissatisfaction, "Third Brother, this is Fourth Brother's life-saving technique. It's already nice of him to tell you, and you still want to see the actual item? How can you be so unaware of the importance?"

Being reprimanded by the Great Sage of Jinghai, the Great Sage of Sea-Breaking felt somewhat helpless.

Ye Zhen just chuckled indifferently, "It's no secret, here, it's this storage ring at the soul artifact level on my hand, which can release a Red Moon Shield for life-saving!"

Ye Zhen flashed his finger!

"However, my survival wasn't entirely due to the Red Moon Shield. The Red Moon Shield, at best, can only block a strike of the Purple Flowing Flames!

The Soul-Rending Bell Sound produced by Yang Ben's Soul-Rending Purple Fire Bell practically did no harm to me, it merely disrupted my flight escape skill; on the contrary, it even served as a reminder for me!"

"At that moment, I crushed more than a dozen life-saving jade talismans that I had been holding in my hand, and since I practice Fire Spirit Power myself, only then could I survive, albeit injured, from that fatal blow!"

Speaking of this, Ye Zhen's expression suddenly became stern, "However, once a Dao Entrance Realm expert genuinely intends to kill, it's terrifying beyond measure, it's literally a dance with death!"

Recalling the incident, Ye Zhen still felt a bit frightened!

"Fourth Brother, with this battle as your foundation, once your cultivation advances further, you should be able to contend against Dao Entrance Realm experts! But from today onwards, you must be extremely cautious!" The Great Sage of Jinghai said.

"Extremely cautious, what does Big Brother mean?"

"The Yin Yang Saints are vengeful individuals, and they've been competing with our Heavenly Wing Island for superiority for years. Today, with your Fourth Brother's prominence, they'll be even more wary of us, and given their narrow-mindedness, they certainly won't let it go!

There might be some unscrupulous tactics!" The Great Sage of Jinghai said.

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen sincerely cupped his hands, "Rest assured, Big Brother, I'll be on the lookout!"

After saying this, Ye Zhen's gaze turned to Liao Feibai, "Senior Sister, what ingredients do you need for the antidote preparation? Do you need my help?"

Hearing Ye Zhen mention this, a trace of panic flickered in Liao Feibai's eyes.

But at the same time, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea's voice rang out, "Do you still need his help? After returning to Heavenly Wing Island, Senior Sister just needs to list the ingredients and send it to the pharmacy.

If the pharmacy has them, they will naturally send them all out. If the pharmacy doesn't have everything, Fourth Brother, you can easily issue a Talisman Summoning for the entire Heavenly Wing Empire to find the missing ingredients for Senior Sister!"

Ye Zhen looked at the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, "That's true!" He didn't notice the trace of panic in Liao Feibai's eyes!

"Senior Sister, remember, after returning, list any ingredients you need directly!" Ye Zhen said!

However, Liao Feibai gently shook her head, "No need, the antidote is made from very common ingredients, just the combination is quite peculiar, I can handle it myself!"

Seeing Liao Feibai say this, Ye Zhen felt relieved, closed his eyes, and focused on healing his internal injuries. External injuries heal quickly, but the Fire Poison remaining inside him after Yang Ben's Purple Flowing Flames invaded his body is quite peculiarly troublesome.

......

On an unnamed island a million miles east of Heavenly Wing Island, the Black Dragon Banner representing the Leader of the Dragon Alliance was still fluttering in the wind.

At the center of the island, the leader's Black Dragon Tent continued to stand tall.

Within the Black Dragon Tent, the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, sat high beneath the Dragon Platform, his eyes half-closed.

Beneath the Dragon Platform, seated in a row were six figures whose presence was all at the Ninth Stage of the Establishment Realm, the already arrived Dragon Kings of the Dragon Alliance.

Behind the six Nine Domain Dragon Kings were nearly thirty White Dragon Envoys seated.

However, despite such a gathering, the leader's tent remained eerily silent, though each person's expression was serious!

In the sky above the island, the Black Dragon Banner continued to flutter in the wind, emanating waves of inexplicable aura!

Soon, a stream of light descended onto the island, directly entering the leader's tent, formally greeted, and then took its place.

The leader, Jie Tianhe, slightly opened his eyes, glanced over once, then shut them again.

Time passed minute by minute, especially in the last two days, almost no martial artist made it to the island and entered the Alliance Hierarch's main tent!

When the morning sun of the sixth day rose, the Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe in the main tent suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the seated martial artists inside, eyes full of sorrow.

"The assembly time has arrived, Law Enforcement Envoy, count the numbers!"

"As you command, Alliance Hierarch!"

A black-robed martial artist suddenly appeared from behind the tent, conducted a count, and then reported back, "Reporting to the Alliance Hierarch, in this assembly under the Black Dragon Banner, seven of the Nine Domain Dragon Kings are here, but Thunderbolt Dragon King and Golden Rainbow Dragon King are absent!"

"Fifty-one out of the Seventy-two White Dragon Commanders are present, of which fourteen are newly appointed White Dragon Commanders!

Since this sea operation began, twenty-three White Dragon Commanders have been confirmed dead, and twelve are missing!" reported the Law Enforcement Envoy!

"Have you found out the reason for the absence of the two Dragon Kings?" the Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe shouted!

"Reporting to the Alliance Hierarch, the missing case of Thunderbolt Dragon King has been reported in detail to the Alliance Hierarch. As for Golden Rainbow Dragon King, there is still no news! On Dragon Island, several elders have used various secret techniques to contact, and even issued a final ultimatum, but there is still no news of Golden Rainbow Dragon King!"

"According to the elders on Dragon Island, Golden Rainbow Dragon King is possibly.... fallen!"

"What, fallen?" The Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe could no longer sit still, suddenly stood up, eyes fixed intently on the Messenger Envoy, "Golden Rainbow Dragon King has already fallen? How is this possible?

Thunderbolt may have an uncertain fate, but how could Golden Rainbow also possibly? On what basis do the elders make such a judgment?"

Upon these words, all other Dragon Kings and White Dragon Commanders in the main tent showed expressions of shock on their faces!

The Law Enforcement Envoy hastily knelt down on the ground, held up a Jade Scroll with both hands, "Reporting to the Alliance Hierarch, this is the Jade Scroll sent through the Teleportation Formation from the elders on Dragon Island half an hour ago, the Alliance Hierarch can see it for himself!"

After taking the Jade Scroll and just a glance, the Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe's expression turned dark, and he slowly sat down on the Dragon Platform, eyes filled with shock!

"A Flood Dragon Egg, nurtured by Golden Rainbow through a Blood Covenant and not yet fully hatched, has silently shattered into a dead egg...."

In Jie Tianhe's soliloquy, everyone roughly understood the course of events.

Once the master falls, the Divine Soul Imprint inside a beast egg nurtured by a Blood Covenant also collapses, causing the weak Divine Soul inside to disperse!

"Then.... what about Thunderbolt Dragon King, do the elders have any judgment?" the Alliance Hierarch Jie Tianhe asked anxiously.

The Law Enforcement Envoy shook his head, "Currently not yet, mainly because the distance from here to Dragon Island is too far, making contact limited! Perhaps results will be available after the Alliance Hierarch returns to Dragon Island to meet with the elders!"

The atmosphere inside the entire main tent suddenly became extremely heavy!

After a while, the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, finally spoke again, "In three and a half months, one of the Nine Domain Dragon Kings has fallen, one is missing, and thirty-five of the Seventy-two Commanders have fallen!

This is nearly one-third of our Dragon Alliance's strength, lost right under our noses! Yet, our enemy, with only the Fourth Stage of Vein Forging cultivation, caused us such significant losses!"

"Why?"

"Ah, why? Each of you think about it, why is this?"

"We located the target repeatedly, yet each time not only did he escape, but our attacking personnel were mostly slaughtered by him, why?"

Jie Tianhe's tone suddenly turned angry, "You have grown accustomed to having your way in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, believing Dragon Alliance is number one in the world, unchallenged!

But now, how many have fallen, even a Nine Domain Dragon King has fallen!

Negligence, arrogance, self-righteousness, underestimating the enemy, every mistake made is fatal, yet you all made them!"

"Will you not awaken until a few more Nine Domain Dragon Kings fall?"

"Our Dragon Alliance is strong, but not invincible; if you still maintain this mindset, you're not far from falling! Do you understand?" Saying this, Jie Tianhe suddenly shouted!

At once, all the White Dragon Commanders stood up together and loudly responded: "Subordinates acknowledge our mistake and plead for the Alliance Hierarch's punishment!"

"Punishment is unnecessary, understanding is enough!"

"From today onward, I hope every single one of you present operates with full alertness, just like when we founded this foundation hundreds of years ago, with utmost caution at every moment! When you see anyone,

even just a martial artist of the Second and Third Stage of Vein Forging, you should exercise the utmost care!"

"I absolutely do not wish to hear news of any of you falling!" Jie Tianhe said this to the seven Dragon Kings!

Each of the seven Dragon Kings solemnly agreed!

"Alright, disperse now. From this moment, continue the full pursuit of that Zheng Fuyun, but the affairs of the alliance must also not be neglected; act with extreme caution!"

Soon, everyone in the Alliance Hierarch's main tent of the Dragon Alliance dispersed, and the Law Enforcement Envoy, who had been waiting on the side, presented another Jade Talisman!

"Alliance Hierarch, this is the message just received from several elders!"

After taking a look at the Jade Talisman, the Leader of the Dragon Alliance Jie Tianhe's expression turned very unpleasant, "Not only Golden Rainbow Dragon King, but also Thunderbolt Dragon King may have already fallen!

It's necessary to promptly enhance the cultivation and strength of the substitute Dragon Kings, the ten-yearly Dan Reward Conference on Shuili Island is about to begin, and it is essential not to miss it....."
