The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 222 - 168: Exploring the East Sea by the Heavenly Court

Chapter 222: Chapter 168: Exploring the East Sea by the Heavenly Court

Pingyu Jia Yitian, Palace of the Polestar.

"How do my Fellow Daoists view this matter?" Di Jun was seated high upon his throne, looking gravely at the Demons in the hall.

"Big brother, do we even need to discuss this? The Dragon Clan has surrendered to our Heavenly Court and the Four Seas should naturally be under our protection! Now, that Old Turtle, the Prime Minister, leads the rebels occupying the Four Seas of the Dragon Clan. How can we tolerate this insult?" Taiyi’s eyes seemed ready to spit fire as he looked at Di Jun, unable to understand why his brother was so indecisive about this matter.

"I wonder what Qingmingzi thinks?" Di Jun didn’t respond to the furious Taiyi, but cautiously turned to Li Qingming.

After pondering for a while, Li Qingming said, "Your Majesty must also know that I have clashed with that old bastard. He is cunning by nature and managed to escape with his life. This time, he has come alone to show off power at the Heavenly Court, which surely means he has something to rely on. If that is the case, it deserves some deliberation!"

Di Jun nodded deeply, agreeing, "Fellow Daoist speaks wisely! These mere rebellious Water Clan members are one thing, but a few days ago, an envoy from the South Sea Dragon Clan mentioned that accompanying the Prime Minister Turtle in threatening the Four Seas, there was also a group of mysterious figures in black robes. These fellows have been coldly observing from the sidelines all along, never taking action. If we rashly attack, I fear we might suffer heavy losses!"

Kunpeng stood up and slightly bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, in your servant’s opinion, why not send a military expedition to probe the depths of this old bastard before making a decision?"

Di Jun pondered for a moment, then said, "Well! Which among you Fellow Daoists is willing to lead the troops to investigate?"

A group of Demon Race protectors, who just broke through to the Quasi-Saint Realm, eagerly volunteered, "Your Majesty, your servant is willing to lead the troops!"

"Nine Youths, it’s always you going; it’s time for someone else!"

"Ying Zhao, can you not be so disgusting towards Demons?"

Di Jun, seeing the noisy Palace of the Polestar, did not get angry but laughed heartily instead, "Good, good, good! With such sons in my Demon Race, how can our race not prosper!"

"Ying Zhao, Feilian step forward! I command you to lead two hundred thousand elite Demons to the Eastern Sea to probe the strength of this Water Clan!" Di Jun called Ying Zhao and Feilian forward and ordered.

"Your servant obeys!" The two Demons looked at each other and saw a sparkle of excitement in each other’s eyes.

Above the East Sea, led by Ying Zhao and Feilian, a mighty army of elite Demons advanced towards the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Speaking of which, it is quite funny that after the Old Turtle took control of the Four Seas, to showcase his status in the Primordial Sea, he purposefully raised the Four Seas Dragon Palace, hidden deep in the sea, to the surface right in the center of the Four Seas. He also dispatched a large number of elite members from various rebel groups to guard it day and night.

Not long after, the Demons reached the Dragon Palace located right in the center of the East Sea.

What a Dragon Palace it was, vastly different from what Bai Ze had seen last time.

One could see pavilions, jade halls with yao steps arranged like stars in the sky, outside the palace walls, within the jade walls, numerous fiery red coral trees and many nameless underwater seaweed plants grew sporadically. Countless shimmering pearls and jewels were everywhere, dazzlingly bright. In this harsh sunlight, one could see an imposing great hall from afar, with crystal walls and walls piled with pearls, truly a splendid Yao Palace.

Such beauty and grandeur left many Demon Cultivators gaping in awe. Before they could even take a closer look, they heard a series of shouting, and then saw many rebellious Water Clan members emerging from the water, lined up in two rows, each brightly dressed with sharp swords and spears. At the back was a stout, dark-faced general.

He wore a black Flying Sky Crown and a shiny silver armor, holding a gleaming scimitar in his right hand. His aura appeared to be at the Early Quasi-Saint Stage, truly formidable.

The rebellious Water Clan defending the Eastern Sea Domain was the Primordial Species, the Red Flame Blood Shark. Its leader named Leng Feiyi, possessed cultivation at the Early Quasi-Saint Stage, and his Magic Treasure, the Soul-devouring Scimitar, was transformed from a tooth he shed when he broke through to the Quasi-Saint stage. Later, after being reforged by the Old Turtle, it became incomparably sharp, capable of soul-devouring and blood-drinking, extremely powerful.

His subordinates were also bloodthirsty and murderous. Like the Octopus Clan of the South Sea, for some unknown reason, the numbers of the Red Flame Blood Shark Clan had exploded, and they were all physically strong.

"Hey! What Demon dares to trespass the East Sea Dragon Palace uninvited? Retreat quickly, or I will turn you all to ashes!" Before even seeing clearly who the leader of the opposition was, Leng Feiyi bellowed loudly.

Ying Zhao looked at this dark-faced strong man and sighed in disdain, "Is this guy brain-dead? I’m here to pick a fight, who are you trying to scare with that shout?"

"Silence, you piece of charcoal! With your disgraceful behavior of betraying your master and siding with the enemy, better just surrender quietly!" Feilian did not care for niceties, just having broken through to the Quasi-Saint stage, he was eager to find an opponent to satisfy his craving for a fight.

Floating on the water’s surface, Leng Feiyi heard Feilian’s words, fell silent for a moment, then roared, "The hell with you calling me charcoal, your entire family is charcoal!"

Having said that, he waved the Soul-devouring Scimitar in his hand and charged forward.

"Hehe, bring it on!" Feilian was secretly delighted when he saw this dark-faced Great Han attacking. He raised the Spiritual Treasure Mountain River Pearl and struck back, both sides clashing joyously.

Feilian’s true form was a Primordial Exotic Beast, the Duan Yue Golden-eyed Ape. Not only was its flesh tougher than Vajra, but it also possessed immense strength. Unlike others who controlled Spiritual Treasures with their Primordial Spirits, this creature used its physical body.

The massive Mountain River Pearl radiated dazzling five-colored brilliance, supported by Feilian in his hand, and thrust directly toward Leng Feiyi.

Leng Feiyi cackled strangely, his blood-thirsty scimitar, gleaming with bright silver radiance, crossed in front of his chest firmly resisting the smashing Mountain River Pearl.

Sadly, Leng Feiyi underestimated Feilian’s physical power, and it wasn’t long before he was defeated. Corners of his mouth even leaking traces of blue blood.

Seeing he was passively defending and couldn’t withstand the frenzied Feilian, and realizing that even if he could hold on, death still awaited him, just as he resisted another round of attacks from Feilian, Leng Feiyi somehow produced a dark black bell.

Leng Feiyi tossed the bell into the air, murmuring incantations. In just the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the bell soared, spinning rapidly and producing a series of pleasant, melodious bell sounds. Additionally, it flickered with a dense black radiance that enveloped Leng Feiyi securely.

Once the black radiance reached its peak brightness, the light converged, and Leng Feiyi still stood there looking quite pleased.

However, at that moment, an anomaly occurred. The body of Leng Feiyi, although appearing a bit dark, still looked bold and generous with his Innate Taoist Body, began to stretch and distort. A terrifying oppressive force also spread out as Leng Feiyi’s body twisted and deformed.

"Ying Zhao, what is happening? Could this guy be transforming?" Feilian retracted the Mountain River Pearl, stepping back cautiously, and asked Ying Zhao next to him.

Ying Zhao’s expression changed, and he quickly responded, "Damn, big trouble! Didn’t you see his power soaring continuously? If he completes his transformation, not only are we doomed, but these elite two hundred thousand of the Demon Race will also be wiped out here!"

"And then?" Feilian hesitated as he looked at the still-transforming Leng Feiyi, feeling very conflicted.

"What do you mean then? Hurry, kill him now!" Ying Zhao summoned a Spiritual Treasure, a massive Red Skin Gourd; inside it stored the Nine Heavens Gang Wind and the Sun Essence Fire bestowed by Di Jun. This item also had a humorous called "Wind and Fire Bottle".

"Warriors, the time to employ the soldiers we’ve raised for thousands of days has come! These rebel forces have occupied our territories, killed our sons, now is the time for revenge! No matter young or old, kill without mercy all who resist! Kill!" Seeing Ying Zhao charge out, Feilian could no longer hesitate, transformed into his true form as a Duan Yue Golden-eyed Ape, lifting the immensely enlarged Mountain River Pearl, and fiercely charged towards the deformed Leng Feiyi.

At this time, this dark-faced Great Han seemed unconcerned about the siege of the Demon crowd. He continued to enjoyably twist his increasingly unrecognizable body, radiating dark, murky brilliance around him.

"Boom!"

As the saying goes, fire borrows the momentum of the wind, and the wind aids the force of fire. Just as Ying Zhao released the Sun Essence Fire, its intense heat caused minor cracks in the Void. Following that, the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, as fierce as wolves and tigers, blew towards that patch of Sun Essence Fire. Assisted by the Nine Heavens Gang Wind, the palm-sized Sun Essence Fire spread across much of the Eastern Sea in an instant.

Cluster upon cluster of red fireworks, which caught fire upon contact, fatal on touch. A raging sea of red fire surged, instantly covering tens of thousands of miles of the sea area.

The physically elongated Leng Feiyi, over thirty feet long, was quickly engulfed by the Sun Essence Fire.

Closely following Ying Zhao, Feilian wasn’t idle either. That massive, mountain-like Mountain River Pearl, carrying the might to destroy the heavens, viciously smashed onto Leng Feiyi’s head.

"Clang!"

The heavy sound of metal clashing resonated, jarringly loud. However, Ying Zhao bizarrely felt that the guy hadn’t suffered much damage.

Meanwhile, the elite two hundred thousand of the Demon Race were clashing with the Red Flame Blood Shark clan. The "cling clang" of metal striking metal incessantly reached their ears. From afar in the Heavenly Court, Di Jun and a host of powerful Demons silently watched this fierce battle between the two clans through the Water Mirror Technique, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Qingmingzi Fellow Daoist, what are the odds of victory for your Ying Zhao and others?" Di Jun frowned, looking at the chaotic Eastern Sea Domain. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"This, it’s still unclear! From the current surface situation, it seems that the Eastern Sea should be easy to reclaim. But..." Li Qingming stroked his smooth chin, pointing at Leng Feiyi in the Water Mirror, said: "If these rebellious Water Clan members all have such capabilities, then Ying Zhao and his team are undoubtedly doomed!"

Hearing this, Di Jun turned his gaze back to the Water Mirror, his expression extremely grave: "Hmm?" (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast recommendation votes, monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
