A great cultivator who had reached the Spirit Refining Realm, a being who would be respected as a True Being in the outside world, was easily slain.
Yet the fall of this Spirit Refining cultivator did not cause any ripples, as if the Aquatic Tribe in the entire Dragon Palace had grown accustomed to such occurrences.
“In the future after millennia, when Spirit Energy depletion prevails, there should be fewer demons and evil spirits.”
“Isn’t all this very nostalgic?”
Yunmeng Dragon Monarch withdrew his gaze from General Furious Waves, who had taken the deadly action, and opened his mouth to question Shen Yuan with a slight smile on his face.
Shen Yuan remained silent.
He had realized that the Yunmeng Dragon Monarch had already made up his mind that he was the Immortal-ascending Taoist and had cryptically expressed a long-established connection with him.
Before figuring out the key issues, Shen Yuan resolved not to respond at all.
After all, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch hadn’t shown any hostility, so for the time being, he allowed him to continue to address him as such.
In Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s eyes, Shen Yuan’s silence was almost like a tacit acknowledgement.
A hint of melancholy appeared in his eyes, and Yunmeng Dragon Monarch laughed lightly,
“In fact, I too dearly miss this world.”
“Here, the spell system of the Human Clan has developed to a near-perfect stage, sufficient to support the survival of countless humans without worrying about the lack of resources leading to numerous disasters.
The Earth Deities and Water Gods, with the people under their power, could have an almost endless supply of belief from incense and prayer, strengthening themselves while blessing their believers with gentle winds and timely rains.” “The Human Emperor’s Dynasty monitored the world to prevent cultivators from causing chaos and trouble.
The Ten Saints of the Demon Clan opened up many Secret Realms, creating their own realms limited by mountains and rivers.
The Aquatic Tribe ruled the Four Seas and Four Waterways, patrolling the rivers to eradicate demons and evil.
This world was so orderly.”
The next moment, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s face suddenly changed, and a trace of ferocity appeared on his majestic dragon face.
“It’s a pity, such a perfect world literally descended into an irreparable future because of one person’s decision.
The Mortal Emperor’s Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage severed the connection between the Primal Chaos Realm and the Upper World.
This not only prevented ascension, but more importantly, the existing Spirit Energy in the Primal Chaos Realm was insufficient to support such a prosperous civilization.
It is foreseeable that one day in the future, Spirit Energy will be completely depleted, and all civilizations born from Spirit Energy will completely collapse!”
“The Mortal Emperor… he is cutting off the Primal Chaos Realm’s line of retreat!”
The Dragon Monarch’s roar echoed forth, uncaringly spreading in all directions, and the clear sky above suddenly clouded over, the thunder booming like the rumbling sounds of the primordial world.
Shen Yuan remained silent, merely observing everything that was happening before him as a bystander.
“Please, Your Majesty, calm your anger!”
“Your Majesty, please calm down!”
The anger of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch stirred fear in the Twelve Water Gods again, and even the giant turtle carrying the Dragon Palace voiced its admonition at this moment.
“Calm down?”
Yunmeng Dragon Monarch’s sharp gaze swept over all the Water Gods and he laughed coldly,
“But I don’t feel that any of you truly want me to calm down my anger.”
At these words, all the Water Gods were stunned, and then their faces changed drastically,
“Our loyalty to Your Majesty is as clear as daylight, there’s no falsehood in it!”
“Your Majesty, you mustn’t listen to slander.”
“We’ve followed Your Majesty for thousands of years, how could we have any other intentions?”
The Twelve Water Gods expressed their respective intentions all at once, but the smile on the face of Yunmeng Dragon Monarch became colder and colder. “Loyal? Now that’s a joke of celestial proportions!”
“Since you claim to remain loyal to me, let me ask you, why haven’t the waters I’ve been suppressing throughout this half month been thoroughly pacified yet?
Why are there so many powerful demons along the coasts where I have patrolled?
Why every time you suppress the demons, you mobilize the power of the river in the Great Marsh without considering the consequences, even causing upheavals in the water area?
Why would the Human Clan suddenly send powerful figures to confront us, the Great Marsh Aquatic Tribe, causing tensions to escalate?”
A series of interrogations left the Twelve Water Gods who wanted to refute him shocked.
They are well aware that since the Dragon Monarch’s patrol began, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch has never left the Dragon Palace or received any external information.
The fact that Yunmeng Dragon Monarch asked these questions under these circumstances proved that he had long been prepared for it.
After a moment of silence, the Water God standing on a mystical turtle stepped forward and paid respect to Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
“Your Majesty, these are all just your speculations.”
“You should understand that suppressing a water area does not necessarily mean that it will become stable. The issue of numerous demons along the path is because they have been driven away by the Human Clan and are trying to stay close to the water area to avoid the Human Clan’s demon extermination.
As for why the Generals of the Furious Waves mobilized a considerable amount of river power to kill monsters, it was to minimize losses and maintain our invincible reputation in the Great Marsh.
As for the Human Clan, it’s been a thousand years since a Dragon Monarch has patrolled the Great Marsh, so it is normal for them to be cautious.”
Shen Yuan recognized this Water God. Among all the gods in the hall, this Water God was the most hostile to him.
During the discussion with the other gods, this Water God was referred to as “Vortex Bane” and was the god who controlled the Canglan River.
“Oh?” Yunmeng Dragon Monarch had a smirk on his face.
“By your words, is it my fault?”
Vortex Bane quickly bowed: “Your servant absolutely does not mean that.”
“Good, since you can explain everything, then tell me why over the past half month, the more than twenty monsters you exterminated using a large amount of river’s energy were all disguised by Demon Path’s Soul Refining Pills as pseudo-Spirit Refining Stage monsters
Your real power, in fact, doesn’t even reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, and the problem could have been easily discovered with a fight.
But to kill these weak demons, you used a vast amount of river power, intentionally causing disturbances in the Great Marsh water system and shaking the foundation of the water area.
Who is the Dragon Sovereign of Four Waterways behind you?”
Vortex Bane’s eyes contracted abruptly, and his body turned into a mist, attempting to escape from the circumference of the Dragon Palace.
However, in the next moment, a large hand covered in dragon scales had grabbed his skull, and with the power exerted by the five fingers, his skull immediately shattered, leaving his Primordial Spirit no chance to escape.
The Yunmeng Dragon Monarch dressed in a black-gold dragon robe killed a renowned Water God with one blow.
“Don’t run!”
“No one can escape from Yunmeng’s unique Fleeing Arts.”
“Cast the formation! Hurry! The River Ji Dragon Sovereign has already used the power of River Ji to suppress the Great Marsh. With no help of river power, we still have a chance!”
As the words fell, Eleven Water Gods activated their Incense Fire God Realms, creating an illusion of a sky over the space.
Thirty-Six Furious Waves Generals, riding on waves with brightly shining spirit treasures in their hands, utilized the endless River Energy to lock down the realm where the Dragon Palace is located to restrict Yunmeng Dragon Monarch who was a usurper.
The colossal turtle carrying the Dragon Palace let out a roar like a prehistoric beast. Chains stained with countless resentments intertwined from the turtle shell towards Yunmeng Dragon Monarch.
In an instant, all the subordinate deities revealed their murderousness.
However, Yunmeng Dragon Monarch was not bothered by the deadly encirclement of various water system deities. Instead, he turned toward Shen Yuan and laughed heartily:
“The Taoist has been living for tens of thousands of years, and his Divine Arts are undoubtedly grand. I admit that I’m not his match yet.
However, I also have an unfinished Divine Art, and I would like the Taoist to evaluate it!”
“This art is called: Rain Invocation!”
