The First Demon of the Chan Sect-Chapter 237 - 183: Tragedy of the Four Seas (Part 1)

Above the East Sea, in a quiet and waveless domain, Di Jun led tens of millions of the Demon Race, encircling the area completely.

Di Jun soared high above the void, looking down upon the Eastern Sea Domain, and said, "Bai Ze, Fellow Daoist, are you sure it is here?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured!" Bai Ze, wavering slightly, came forward from behind and said, "Ever since the Candle Dragon forcibly tried to achieve the Dao five hundred years ago and failed, it has been holed up in this body of water. Over the years, we have dispatched our clan’s experts to investigate, but aside from some clever Demon Secret Agents, none have returned without exception! Therefore, this subordinate is certain that the Candle Dragon is definitely here!"

Di Jun still placed great trust in the Heavenly Court’s Demon Secret Agents. Since establishing the Heavenly Court to better control the information of all races in the Primordial Land, Di Jun had dispatched Bai Ze to establish a spy organization named "Eastern Court Demon Spirit". The internal intelligence personnel were collectively known as Demon Secret Agents.

"Good! If we can eliminate the Candle Dragon this time, I will credit you with the highest merit!" Di Jun looked at Bai Ze appreciatively, his eyes burning with a manic intent for battle.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a mischievous-looking young man poked his head out from the azure waters and upon spotting Bai Ze, his face lit up with joy. He leaped forward, saying, "Lord of the East, this Little Demon is Demon Secret Agent number one hundred and thirty. The Candle Dragon is currently beneath the waters, if our Demon Race can provoke it to the surface, it will have no escape!"

Bai Ze gestured for the young man to return to the Demon Race’s ranks, bowed to Di Jun, and said, "Your Majesty, we can begin the attack!"

Di Jun waved his hand, shouting loudly, "Candle Dragon, I am Di Jun! You seize my Four Seas, exterminate the Four Seas Dragon Clan, truly devoid of conscience. Today, I shall lead my army and level your Four Seas powers, do you dare come out and fight?"

Huddled in a cave, quietly cultivating, the Candle Dragon opened its eyes. Glancing impassively at the water’s surface, it burst forth.

"Hahaha, indeed, when there is no tiger in the mountains, the monkey is king! Di Jun, you mere child, when I roamed supreme in the Primordial era, you didn’t even know where to gasp for breath! And today, with just your Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals, you dare bark orders at me, truly seeking death!" The Candle Dragon, having just solidified above the water, looked fiercely at the tens of millions of Demon Race’s army, its eyes flashing with a scarlet murderous intent.

"Candle Dragon, stop acting like a big shot, eat my strike!" Taiyi, without waiting for Di Jun to respond, lifted the Chaos Bell high and charged forward. The ancient Chaos Bell resonated with a misty radiance, lighting up the almost starry night over the Eastern Sea Domain like the noonday sun.

"Seeking death!" The Candle Dragon’s eyes flashed with a fierce glint. "Clang!" A dark battle dress suddenly appeared on the Candle Dragon, a shimmering black gloss surging upward as it charged towards Taiyi barehanded.

"Clang!" With overwhelming power, golden Power of the Sun surged, and suddenly a bright sun rose behind Taiyi, dazzlingly brilliant. The movement of the sun wheel drove the ancient Chaos Bell, and in an instant, the sound of the bell resonated through the Nine Heavens. The green misty radiance, mixed with the vast sunlight, was blinding, piercing through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds.

"Hmm?" The Candle Dragon, its arm numbed from the shock, a trace of surprise flashed through its eyes, said, "Peak of Early Sub-Saint?"

"Hahaha, exhilarating, exhilarating! Candle Dragon, take another one from me," Taiyi ignored the words of the Candle Dragon, instead, he vibrated the Chaos Bell in his hand, turning it into a green covered bowl, covering the Candle Dragon with it. The entire Cangqiong seemed to shake with chaos, showing signs of cracks.

"Hmph, so what if you are a Sub-Saint!" The Candle Dragon coldly shouted, just at that moment above his head, a brilliant radiance appeared. The earth-shaking waves spread out in a ripple pattern, and among the tens of millions of demons present, most could not withstand this vast oppressive force, coughing blood and stumbling back several steps.

"Roar!" Then, a resonant Dragon Roar transmitted, a dragon-shaped black longsword, three feet in length, shot out, its momentum enough to collapse All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds. The dragon sword, with its mouth wide open, thrusting out a three-foot-long green blade, the giant dragon on the sword spiraled, its nine claws sharp, life-like in form. The tip of the sword, formed by the dragon’s tail, emitted a dazzling Black Light.

"Boom!"

The covered bowl collided with the Dragon Sword, the massive impact directly tearing apart the vast sea abyss, the endless underground magma burst out in an instant, the intense heat vaporizing tens of thousands of tons of seawater. The Endless Void instantly collapsed, utterly breaking down, countless spatial cracks appearing, extending towards eternal unknown places. Chaos Qi like a mountain tsunami, pouring into the Eastern Sea Domain!

"Pu!" Suddenly, the green covered bowl transformed back in Chaos, pulled back, injured by the rebound force of the Spiritual Treasure, Taiyi violently spat out a mouthful of golden blood. Wiping the corner of his mouth, which was leaking a trace of fresh blood, Taiyi said nothing and agitated the Chaos Bell again, emitting bursts of humming, attacking the Candle Dragon.

The Candle Dragon’s mouth curled in a cold smile, its eyes instantly turning one black and one white, shooting out two strange Divine Radiance, the Dragon Sword in its hand also emitted a light hum, exuding a thirst for blood.

"Clang!"

As they clashed, the strange radiance from the Candle Dragon’s eyes shot directly into Taiyi’s eyes. Stricken by the gaze, Taiyi’s body shook, as if his Primordial Spirit had been fixed in place.

The Candle Dragon smirked, its longsword drawing back, and then from the side, it stabbed towards Taiyi’s head.

"Second brother!" Di Jun was anxious about Taiyi’s safety, with the River Diagram and Luo Book in his hand seemingly gaining spiritual intelligence, emitting two blazing divine lights that directly pierced the void and blocked the Dragon Sword in Candle Dragon’s hand. The sharp Sword Qi of the Dragon Sword couldn’t penetrate the seal of the River Diagram and Luo Book.

"Hahaha, what a true brother in arms!" Candle Dragon withdrew and laughed heartily as he watched Di Jun and Taiyi.

"Candle Dragon, what exactly have you done to Taiyi!" Di Jun lightly probed Taiyi’s Primordial Spirit and found it imprisoned within the Sea of Consciousness, his eyes immediately filled with rage.

"Oh? Can’t you see?" Candle Dragon looked teasingly at Di Jun, saying, "If you want this three-legged crow to regain its senses, kill me then! Hahaha..."

With these words, Candle Dragon put away the Dragon Sword, suddenly a diamond-shaped black scale appeared on his forehead, the scale opened up, revealing an exceedingly dark cave that emitted a dragon-shaped black gleam.

"Pfft!"

Golden radiance burst forth, and an illusion of Xuanwu appeared above the River Diagram and Luo Book. The robust limbs of the Xuan Turtle firmly stomped on the River Diagram, while the Xuan Snake, pitch black in color, breathed out its tongue, half its body coiling around the Luo Book. The fierce and substantial aura made the entire void congeal.

"Ao!" A gleam of light flickered in Candle Dragon’s eyes as he howled towards the sky, shaking mountains and rivers. The just-calmed underwater magma started to boil madly again, surging like terrifying waves, the thick magma rolled up into the void, covering the stars and moon.

"Break for your ancestor!" Candle Dragon’s body surged with black light, and golden runes quietly climbed onto the engulfing black armor. Candle Dragon swung his arms and, in a flash, appeared next to Di Jun, whirling his iron fists in matchless fashion, striking towards Di Jun.

"Roar!" "Hiss!" The illusive Xuanwu madly thrashed its body, with runes akin to law appearing on its black shell, densely covering the River Diagram and Luo Book.

"Boom!"

Candle Dragon’s fist completely struck the River Diagram and Luo Book. Once again, the interplay of black and white in his eyes burst forth, but in the moment his fist met the River Diagram and Luo Book, they intertwined into a small Tai Chi Diagram, darting towards Di Jun’s eyes.

Regrettably, against his wishes, Taiyi was caught by this move and lost consciousness; how could Di Jun not guard against Candle Dragon?

"Boom!" A layer of pale golden Power of the Sun, starting from the River Diagram and Luo Book, began to spread upwards, swiftly sealing the eyes. Simultaneously, the Xuan Snake also raised its body; its slender form moved, growing as thick as a barrel, opened its massive mouth, and blasted out a burst of white Xuan Qi, instantly slicing the void, directly striking at Candle Dragon’s face, utterly terrifying.

Candle Dragon’s expression tightened, the diamond-shaped scale at his heart suddenly fell off, turning palm-sized, fiercely covering his face. Tendrils of black light, like falling laws, made Candle Dragon’s entire being seem illusory.

"Pfft!"

The two collided, making a sizzling sound of liquid corroding metal. The palm-sized scale, frantically dispersing black, lightless mist, blocked the burst of white Xuan Qi just inches away from his face.

Di Jun wouldn’t miss such an excellent opportunity, quickly took over the Chaos Bell held by Taiyi’s hand, activated the Power of the Sun, and started ringing it "dong dong dong." The sound of the Great Dao sacred music vibrated, myriad Power of Laws crazily descended from beyond the Nine Heavens. The terrifying sound waves visibly spread out, golden ripples vibrating the void into tiny cracks, and heavy pressure directly aimed at Candle Dragon.

Candle Dragon thought: "Not good!" Hastily retreating, he was unexpectedly caught by the dispersing ripples, the black Daoist robe stirring and shredding. A twitch at the corner of Candle Dragon’s mouth, he casually tore off the robe turned into cloth strips, luckily, at that moment covered by a black mist, no one noticed the bare Candle Dragon.

Enraged and embarrassed, Candle Dragon changed into a new Daoist robe and furiously roared: "Di Jun, none of you will escape from the Eastern Sea Domain today!"

"Boom!"

A tremendous pressure instantly swept across the entire Eastern Sea Domain, endless Spiritual Energy swirling like a vortex, being absorbed into Candle Dragon’s body.

Except for a few Great Powers of the Demon Race, everyone was overwhelmed by this pressure, directly prostrating themselves on the cloud layer. Each of them turned pale, trembling incessantly.

On Penglai Island, Li Qingming, leisurely drinking tea by the Lotus Pond with Wang Shu, suddenly felt this not-too-distant pressure, smiled lightly and said, "Girl, I am going to the Eastern Sea Domain!"

Wang Shu slightly frowned, gently pinched a pine cone, and said, "Be careful, go and return quickly!"

Li Qingming nodded slightly, summoned Xiong Da, and broke through the sky! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to go to Qidian (qidian.com) to recommend and vote monthly, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
