212: Chapter 212 Are you deliberately playing with me?

The heavenly demon blood saber was struck as if by lightning; its body trembled violently, emitting a metallic "buzzing" sound. Its egg-sized eyes rolled back, white foam continuously spewed from its bloody mouth, and after twitching on the ground a few times, it completely passed out!

Suddenly!

Ten thousand meters above the Taixu Realm, ink-black tribulation clouds rolled, stretching for over a hundred thousand li, completely obscuring the moonlight!

Lightning, like ghostly claws, suddenly exploded within the Void Realm of the Taixu Realm, tearing the ink-colored thunderclouds to shreds!

As if doomsday had arrived, the Taixu Realm fell into total darkness, with thunderous roars echoing continuously across the land!

Inside the main hall of Sage Peak on Shu Mountain, Yu Hengzi's expression changed drastically. He exerted sudden force in his legs, transforming into a white streak of light, leaving behind several afterimages as he rushed into the Void Realm of the Taixu Realm!

Yu Hengzi looked at the tribulation clouds stretching over a hundred thousand li, his body stiffening slightly. Joy, amazement, bewilderment, and melancholy... various expressions surfaced on his face in succession!

The reason was simple: his ninth Disciple was about to summon a divine weapon, triggering a celestial phenomenon!

Normally, it would be a good thing for his ninth Disciple to obtain a divine weapon, but now, it seemed that might not be the case!

Eight hundred years ago, Yu Hengzi followed his Revered Master to the Central Province Imperial City and had the honor of seeing a Central Province Imperial Family Elder break through to the Pseudo-Emperor Realm, triggering a Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, the ink-black tribulation clouds only stretched for over thirty thousand li!

This time, the divine weapon summoned by his ninth Disciple actually brought a hundred thousand li of tribulation clouds. What kind of Heaven-Defying divine weapon was this?

As the saying goes, blessings and misfortunes always go hand in hand. If one cannot withstand a heaven-sent Opportunity, it will turn into a heaven-sent catastrophe!

As the saying goes, men die for wealth, and birds die for food!

Normally, a divine weapon triggering such a massive phenomenon would surely attract the Old Ancestors of various factions to come and fight for it!

Fortunately, half of the Cultivators in the Central Province had all been slain in the Southern Region tonight... The Central Province Imperial Family should also be fully preparing for the matter of exterminating the Taixu Realm in two days, so they shouldn't be sending anyone over for the time being.

Yu Hengzi's only concern was some of the hermit families in the Central Province.

Hermit families were actually descendants of former Great Emperors. After each Great Emperor attained the Dao and became an Emperor, they would leave behind numerous Cultivation Techniques, Immortal Artifacts, Talismanic Incantations, and Formations for their descendants.

But at the same time, Great Emperors killed too many opponents and made too many enemies during their path to attaining the Dao, and they worried their descendants would suffer revenge from those enemies in the future. Therefore, they usually had their descendants live under assumed names, becoming hermit families.

The Sword Spirit Sect's Old Ancestor, Sect Ancestor of Jianling Sect, was precisely the legitimate daughter of the hermit Family, the Sword Spirit Clan, and she had already broken through to the Spirit Transformation Realm by the age of 200!

Normally, Sect Ancestor of Jianling Sect's Aptitude and cultivation speed would be considered that of a Prodigy even across the entire Ten Earths!

But within the Sword Spirit Clan, the descendants of the Sword Spirit Great Emperor, she was indeed at the bottom!

That's right!

Hermit families were just that Heaven-Defying!

The Central Province Dynasty was actually originally a hermit Family, the Wu Clan!

Over ten thousand years ago, the Central Province was in chaos. The Wu Clan was forced to step forward to settle the turmoil and established the current Central Province Dynasty.

Over a hundred thousand li to the west of the Central Province lies a continent named the Hanzhou Continent, which, like the Central Province, is one of the Ten Earths.

The reason it was named with the character "Han" is that there is not a single bit of land in the entire Hanzhou Continent; it is entirely a vast and boundless deep sea. The entire planet looks like a deep blue, magnificent gemstone from the outside!

The reason the Hanzhou Continent can be one of the Ten Earths despite having no land is that it produced a Flood Dragon Great Emperor!

Flood dragons have no feet or legs and look like dragons. They are naturally very promiscuous and can mate on the spot with anything.

But the Flood Dragon Great Emperor cultivated against the heavens and eventually transformed from a flood dragon into a dragon! He grew a pair of dragon horns and four dragon claws, physically molting into a ten-thousand-zhang golden dragon. He finally attained the Dao and became an Emperor, known in history as the Flood Dragon Great Emperor! He ruled the Ten Earths for over fifty thousand years before finally falling in the deep sea!

Time flows like water, and hundreds of thousands of years have passed inadvertently. The former glory of the Flood Dragon Great Emperor is long gone, leaving behind only a lonely Hermit Clan, the Flood Dragon Clan!

Hundreds of thousands of zhang beneath the Dizang Sea of the Hanzhou Continent, there is a Great Emperor's tomb covering an area of over a hundred thousand zhang.

The Imperial Tomb, which originally shone with golden light and emitted a majestic and holy radiance, had become dim and dull, covered in various dark green water vines as thick as arms!

Beside the Imperial Tomb, there is an underwater imperial city covering an area of over thirty thousand zhang. The originally towering and majestic thousand-zhang stone statue of the Flood Dragon Great Emperor was now severely weathered and damaged, its face completely unrecognizable!

The stone statue of the Flood Dragon Great Emperor was densely covered with green vines as thick as arms, looking with a terrifying and sinister ghostly green hue!

Suddenly!

The seabed hundreds of thousands of zhang deep shook violently. Sand and stones on the seabed were instantly kicked up, and sea monsters fled frantically like startled fawns!

A Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon suddenly lunged out from a deserted palace in the imperial city and soared into the sky!

The water of the entire Dizang Sea seethed like boiling water, bubbling "gurgle gurgle" and turning into wisps of white smoke that drifted into the night sky!

With a "whoosh," the Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon burst out of the sea surface!

A dragon's roar shattered the firmament, tearing the silence of the Dizang Sea night to shreds!

The Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon's eyes bulged, filled with earthworm-like protruding blood vessels. Its mouth curled into a sinister arc, and its four fangs reflected a cold sharpness under the moonlight!

"Why!"

"It's been over four hundred years, and yet these Ten Earths have not seen a single ten-thousand-li tribulation cloud!"

"You damn heavens, this venerable one has been stuck at the Peak Tribulation Crossing Stage for exactly four hundred years!"

"Are you playing with me on purpose!"

The Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon exerted sudden force in its waist. Its hundred-zhang tail instantly grew to a thousand zhang, tearing through the air and creating wisps of white smoke from friction as it slammed heavily onto the surface of the Dizang Sea!

Boom!

As if a nuclear bomb had exploded in the Dizang Sea, a massive wave hundreds of thousands of zhang high transformed into a water dragon, roaring as it soared into the sky!

The water of the Dizang Sea seemed to be drained dry in an instant, revealing the ruins of the Imperial Tomb on the seabed!

Beside the Imperial Tomb, the thirty-thousand-zhang imperial city began to shake violently, and the long-decayed palaces collapsed one after another!

A black light shadow tore through the air, leaving several afterimages in the void as it flew rapidly toward the Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon!

"Ninth Highness!"

"Please do not be angry; the Tenth Mistress is currently attending to the bed!"

"If you make such a fuss and disturb the Tenth Mistress's mood, His Majesty will be displeased!"

Moonlight poured down through the clouds like water, outlining the hunched figure of an old man!

An Old Man in Black Robe with white hair and beard, and a pair of ink-black dragon horns, hovered in the night.

The old man wiped the rain-like cold sweat from his forehead and looked up at the Thousand-Zhang Flood Dragon in the sky, his body trembling slightly.
