King of Creation

'Please forgive me, Sea-Breaking Great Saint, I was reckless and mistook someone else for you!' Yan Yijun's bow was so low that his apologetic expression couldn't be seen.

However, everyone could tell that Yan Yijun squeezed this sentence out through clenched teeth.

Mistaking someone else would indeed be like seeing a ghost.

Ye Zhen's expression moved slightly, feeling a bit regretful.

Yan Yijun's ability to endure made Ye Zhen want to kill him even more. The more patient the enemy, the more dangerous they are.

In the future, plotting against Ye Zhen in secret will be more cautious and vicious.

However, having his identity completely exposed might be beneficial, at least before they act, especially against Ye Zhen's friends and family, they would have to think twice.

'Oh, so it was a mistake? I thought you really got your balls cut off?' As he spoke, Ye Zhen waved his hand as if swatting away a fly, dismissing Yan Yijun.

As he turned around, a trace of blood was already trickling from the corner of Yan Yijun's mouth, endured so hard that he bit through his lip.

Yet, even after being humiliated by Ye Zhen, both Huang Mian and Yan Wuluo from the Stars Tower still cupped their hands in thanks to the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

'Hmph, if you're thanking anyone, thank my fourth brother. If it weren't for his magnanimity, you wouldn't have left Shuili Island alive this time.' The Sea-Breaking Great Saint waved carelessly.

As the individuals from the Stars Tower dispersed in disgrace, midst the crowd, watching Ye Zhen closely, the Dragon Alliance Leader Jie Tianhe's mouth curved into a decision.

A dark, incomprehensible aura suddenly rose around Jie Tianhe, instantly sending a shiver down the spine of even the Establishment Realm kings.

In a split second, Jie Tianhe moved.

In an instant, a black aura formed a mighty black dragon over Jie Tianhe's head, flashing with brilliance, pouncing toward Ye Zhen.

At that moment of attack, a high-pitched dragon roar suddenly resounded in the sky.

Amidst the aura rising from Jie Tianhe's body, with his sudden attack, shouts and angry reprimands erupted simultaneously.

'Who dares to harm someone on Shuili Island?' It was the angry roar of Chen Pi, the butler of Shuili Island.

As the angry shout rang out, the martial artists patrolling in the sky rushed over in eruptions.

'Jie Tianhe, how dare you?' This angry shout was from the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint, who had been paying close attention, reacted immediately, ribbons of black water light surged toward the black dragon brilliance emitting the dragon roar.

Cold sweat trickled down Ye Zhen's forehead, he damn well dared to attack here.

The most fatal part was that Jie Tianhe chose this moment to attack, at such close range, almost as a sneak attack.

So, by the time Ye Zhen reacted, it was already too late, and the black dragon aura had already smashed above his head.

The Sea-Breaking Great Saint's action was quick, but still a half beat slower compared to Jie Tianhe's sneak attack.

Hundreds of black ribbons blocked most of the black light, but a small part, under Jie Tianhe's delicate control, directly poured into Ye Zhen's body.

Seeing this, the butler of Shuili Island, who was hastening over, was furious.

'Stop!' he shouted.

Unfortunately, Grand Steward Chen Pi's words had no effect on Jie Tianhe, who was intent on attacking.

On the contrary, his eyes were filled with excitement.

Originally, Jie Tianhe wouldn't be so reckless, as the name of Shuili Island was not to be taken lightly.

But just as Sea-Breaking Great Saint revealed Ye Zhen's identity, Jie Tianhe's heart twitched slightly.

Having searched for so long, his nemesis was still nowhere to be found, which left only two possibilities.

One was truly perverse talent, the other was deliberate protection, and if it were the latter, then Heavenly Wing Island would be a very suitable candidate.

However, most importantly, was the battle record of Ye Zhen that Huang Mian just mentioned.

With cultivation at the peak of the Sixth Stage of the Vein Forging Realm, he fought against an Establishment Realm Seventh Stage King and emerged victoriously, unharmed!

This achievement was already called a monstrous feat.

Prior to this, his nemesis with cultivation between the Fourth and Fifth Stages of the Vein Forging Realm had faced off against five white dragon envoys of the Fifth and Sixth Stages of Establishment, managing to annihilate them all!

Such an achievement was also deemed monstrous in the current world.

This monstrous feat, this monstrous martial genius, was already extremely rare by itself.

Now, suddenly two such monstrosities appeared in a short period!

In Jie Tianhe's view, that seemed highly suspicious.

Jie Tianhe strongly suspected that these two recent monstrosities in the Outer Domain Dead Sea might very well be the same person!

That led to Jie Tianhe's fierce action now!

At the same time, all the hairs around Ye Zhen stood on end.

Jie Tianhe's attack was completely without warning; by the time Ye Zhen reacted, that black brilliance had already poured into him.

Without hesitation, Ye Zhen unleashed his most powerful four-colored Innate Soul Light against that mysterious black aura.

Ye Zhen was not one to sit around waiting for death.

However, the next moment, Ye Zhen was stunned.

The invading strand of black aura inside him, before Ye Zhen's four-colored Innate Soul Light approached, gathered into a small black dragon phantom and then let out a long cry!

As the dragon roar resounded, the small black dragon phantom dissipated.

Instantly, the dragon roar echoed within Ye Zhen.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Zhen's face changed once again.

It was at this moment that he finally understood why Jie Tianhe was so determined to act against him.

It was because Jie Tianhe's intention in acting now was not to kill him but to probe!

At the same moment, influenced by the Dragon Roar, the dormant Black Dragon Martial Meridians within Ye Zhen trembled violently, as if stimulated by something!

During the violent tremor, Ye Zhen's Black Dragon Martial Meridians involuntarily emitted a faint Dragon Roar.

Upon hearing the Black Dragon Water Spirit Power surging behind Ye Zhen and the faint Dragon Roar emerging from within, the Leader of the Dragon Alliance, Jie Tianhe, suddenly smiled.

The peculiar aura that had just risen vanished in an instant!

A smile abruptly appeared on Jie Tianhe's face.

The probe was successful.

That odd black brilliance earlier was merely a Secret Technique capable of activating the Black Dragon Martial Meridians.

Now, he could confirm that the highly suspected Ye Zhen before him was indeed the Fate's enemy he had been searching for all these years.

The very enemy responsible for the Dragon Alliance losing thirty-five White Dragon Envoys, and even two Nine Domain Dragon Kings!

At the same moment, the Grand Steward of Shuili Island, Chen Pi, and other martial artists of Shuili Island, descended in unison, gathering before Jie Tianhe.

"Leader Jie, what is your intention? Are you trying to provoke Shuili Island, or validate the rules of our Shuili Island?" Chen Pi's face was frosty.

"You've misunderstood, Steward Chen. How could this old man cause trouble on Shuili Island? I merely found this young brother's cultivation technique peculiar and wanted to probe a bit!"

"This year's prohibition order on Shuili Island hasn't included this item, right?" Jie Tianhe said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Pi's expression froze, and after a few breaths of hesitation, he cupped his hands, "Indeed it has not! However, Leader Jie's actions just now could easily lead to misunderstandings and even war.

Leader Jie is aware of our Pill King's temperament, so please be mindful in the future!"

Jie Tianhe did not respond to this painless warning, merely smiled.

Chen Pi, helpless, bowed his head slightly and gestured for his subordinates to leave.

Mainly because Jie Tianhe's status was too lofty—Leader of the Dragon Alliance, with cultivation in the Dao Entrance Realm, equal to the strength of Shuili Pill King.

As long as the behavior wasn't too outrageous, they could only turn a blind eye, for even if Shuili Pill King is assertive, he wouldn't offend Jie Tianhe over such minor matters.

If it had been any other Establishment King, they would likely have been expelled from Shuili Island by now.

The next moment, Jie Tianhe smiled and cupped his hands remotely toward Ye Zhen, with an expression meaning clear as day.

Look at you, finally caught by me, just you wait.

Ye Zhen naturally understood Jie Tianhe's intentions. Moreover, he was prepared for this moment all along.

With no fluctuation of emotions, Ye Zhen cupped his hands toward Jie Tianhe with a smile, "It seems I am fated to be connected with Leader Jie; we'll have to get better acquainted in the future!"

"Fourth brother is right, not only must we get acquainted with Leader Jie but also with other members of the Dragon Alliance!" spoke the Sea-Breaking Great Saint gloomily, with clear anger in his voice.

"Oh, by the way, Leader Jie, I heard that the Thunderbolt Dragon King and Golden Rainbow Dragon King among the Nine Domain Dragon Kings have been missing for a while?

Has your Dragon Alliance selected successors for these two domain Dragon Kings?

Once you've chosen successors, this Saint will certainly probe them well to see if they're qualified to become new Nine Domain Dragon Kings!" said the Sea-Breaking Great Saint with deep meaning.

"Oh, and by the way, have you found the culprit yet? I wonder which deity dared to strike against the Dragon Alliance?" added the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

As soon as these words were spoken, Jie Tianhe's expression changed.

He understood the Sea-Breaking Great Saint's intent, targeting him based on the same principle of tit for tat for his actions towards Ye Zhen just now.

But, that's not important; what's important is the news itself!

As an alliance traversing the Outer Domain Dead Sea, having two Nine Domain Dragon Kings suddenly go missing.

If missing too long, the chance that they have fallen is highly likely!

The short-term loss of two Nine Domain Dragon Kings doesn't heavily damage the Dragon Alliance's power.

What's significant is the meaning behind this news and the immense impact on the Dragon Alliance once this news spreads!

This represents that someone on the Outer Domain Sea is already capable of provoking and challenging the Dragon Alliance, causing tremendous losses!

The fatal issue is that the Dragon Alliance hasn't yet found the culprit!

What this represents is very subtle.

Could this mean the Dragon Alliance can no longer control the big picture of the Outer Domain Dead Sea?

Under such circumstances, some of the forces on the various islands originally under the Dragon Alliance's jurisdiction might develop alternative intentions.

Compliance in appearance but not in reality is minor!

Some, who previously didn't dare oppose or reluctantly conformed to the Dragon Alliance's control, might now harbor thoughts of rebellion, or even attack!

One can imagine how explosive this news is.

In an instant, martial artists from all directions, especially leaders of various forces and islands, had expressions turning strange indeed.

Their gaze toward Jie Tianhe now held a degree of caution.

Seeing the people around, Great Saint Jie Tianhe cast a grim look at the Sea-Breaking Great Saint, about to erupt when the voice of the Grand Steward of Shuili Island, Chen Pi, sounded.
