Chapter 149: Slaying the Golden Flood Dragon King!

Before the two of them could finish speaking, an incomparably powerful Demonic Qi streaked across the sky from the distant horizon.

This Demonic Qi was golden in color, exceptionally noble, yet permeated with a terrifyingly fierce aura.

When this Demonic Qi appeared, Madam Wen's expression instantly changed because she recognized its identity.

“The Golden Flood Dragon King!”

Those four simple words caused the smile on Zhao Changsheng's face to brighten significantly.

“I didn't expect such a big shot to actually show up. However, it seems this fellow thinks we're quite weak; he doesn't seem to hold us in any regard at all.”

After Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, a figure clad in golden armor and a golden helmet appeared in the air above them. This figure’s appearance was very peculiar, possessing the head of a flood dragon and the body of a human, while holding a golden long spear. Silver electric arcs flickered faintly along the shaft of the spear like slender silver-white electric snakes; it was clearly no ordinary treasure.

Of course, the most eye-catching part was his golden armor, which was composed of golden scales. Each scale was inscribed with singular runes, radiating an incredibly eerie and powerful Demonic Qi.

“Are you the two who have been slaughtering my Flood Dragon Clan in these waters?”

The flood dragon's voice was freezing cold, and his powerful Demonic Qi was even more terrifying. Anyone other than a Late Nascent Soul Great Cultivator would likely have been scared away already.

“A Tenth-Order Demonic Beast. This is truly the first time I've encountered a Yao Beast of this Rank. Not bad, not bad at all—you've come at the perfect time. I have something I wish to discuss with you. If you don't want to die, you'd best not make a move. I can tell you plainly that the Star Palace was destroyed by me. I believe someone of your status should already be aware of this. If nothing unexpected happens, your Yao Race is preparing to launch a war against us humans. I am well aware of this, but now is not the time for a great war, because I intend to unify the Human Race and the Yao Race.”

After Zhao Changsheng finished speaking, the Golden Flood Dragon King's expression instantly changed. He had never expected that the Star Palace had been destroyed by Zhao Changsheng, especially since Zhao Changsheng's aura was merely that of an ordinary Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator.

“Do you truly think this King is a fool? Or do you think this King would believe such words?”

Before he could finish his sentence, with a 'bang', the Golden Flood Dragon King was sent flying by a slap from Zhao Changsheng.

“I think it’s better if you believe me a little more, because even I didn't expect myself to be this powerful. In front of me, you are actually no different from an ant. Since you are an ant, then do what an ant should do, rather than acting arrogantly before me. If you continue to be arrogant, I will send you to see your clansmen. Furthermore, I believe a Rank Ten Yao Core would be of significant use to me, especially since your body contains a trace of True Dragon Bloodline. To be honest, that is a pleasant surprise. After all, although your Flood Dragon Clan claims to be descendants of the True Dragon Clan, flood dragons like you who truly possess a True Dragon Bloodline are exceedingly rare.”

“At most, they possess the Bloodline of the Flood Dragon Clan, and for a True Dragon Bloodline to appear in your bodies would be a miracle—and yet it actually appeared. However, this trace of Bloodline is far too thin. Although it's of some use to me, it's a pity it's so diluted it can almost be ignored. Still, having some is better than none. If it were someone else, they might find it difficult to extract this trace of Bloodline from your body, but you've met me. I can completely extract this thin trace of Bloodline. I wonder if you are willing to let me extract it?”

Hearing Zhao Changsheng's words, the Golden Flood Dragon King's face became extremely ugly. He had never imagined he would be so weak, nor that Zhao Changsheng would be so powerful that he could be sent flying with just a slap. In front of Zhao Changsheng, he had no strength to fight back at all; even the thought of resisting had vanished. This sense of dread filled him with unprecedented horror.

“Are you a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator?”

Aside from this reason, he truly could not think of any other explanation. Other than this, he simply had no way to conceive of any other possibility.

“You're overthinking it. I'm truly not a Deity Transformation Cultivator, but my strength isn't much different from one, so don't misunderstand. However, killing you is still a very easy task for me; it doesn't pose much difficulty at all, so you can rest assured. If you weren't still of some use to me, I wouldn't mind having one more Rank Ten Yao Core right now. You have two choices: first, attack immediately and be slapped to death by me; second, stay there honestly and quietly and listen to what I have to say.”

“After you've finished listening, you can make a decision. If your decision satisfies me, you can still live. If your decision does not satisfy me, then there is only a path to death for you. Regardless, you are not the only one in the Yao Race I can negotiate with; other Advanced Yao Race Cultivators can also negotiate with me. Overall, this isn't a difficult matter. I just hope you can obediently listen to what I have to say.”

“No problem. What do you want to say?”

The Golden Flood Dragon King finally chose to yield. There was no other way; in the face of death, no one would refuse to submit.

“It's actually very simple. I destroyed the Star Palace because they offended me. And now, I want to establish a Star Sea Empire. In this Empire, I won't say the Human Race and Yao Race will live in perfect harmony, but even the Yao Race must listen to the opinions—or rather, the commands—of the humans. However, these humans are under me alone and the future Master of the Star Sea. If you don't obey, I don't mind purging the entire Yao Race. Of course, this is limited to you Advanced Yao Race members; I won't purge those lower-level Yao, as they can still provide us with sufficient cultivation resources.”

“Moreover, purging so many Yao would have a significant impact on me. Under these circumstances, I am still quite merciful, and I hope you can understand this point. So, I'll trouble you, as a powerhouse of the Flood Dragon Clan, to go back and discuss this matter with your clansmen and those other Advanced Yao. If you can't come to an agreement, you can also come to me to discuss it. I certainly have no objections and am always available to take my time discussing it with you.”

“Of course, there is one thing I need to clarify in advance: during the negotiation process, if I have a need for Advanced Yao Cores, I will take action directly, and you will absolutely not be my match. This is something I can guarantee, and there is no problem with that. You should have experienced it just now. Since you've experienced it, then honestly do as I say. Do you understand?”

After Zhao Changsheng finished these words, Madam Wen considerately poured a cup of tea for him to moisten his throat. But after Zhao Changsheng finished his tea, a sentence from the Golden Flood Dragon King made him laugh.

“Why should this King listen to a single human Cultivator like you? You're just a human; what do you think you have? No matter how powerful your divine abilities are, if this King doesn't agree, what can you do to me? If this King wants to leave, no one can stop me. Farewell!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a streak of golden light, heading back towards the distant horizon. However, his trajectory was quite blurred and erratic, and his speed was extremely fast, appearing a hundred miles away almost in the blink of an eye. One could imagine just how fast he was. But even at such speed, Zhao Changsheng merely gave a light chuckle and followed. When Zhao Changsheng's figure appeared again, it was immediately followed by a scream of agony.

“Ah!”

“I only wasted so much time talking to you because I saw you had some use and wanted to have a good chat. But clearly, your answer did not satisfy me. Since it didn't satisfy me, it means you have no value to be utilized. Since you have no value, there is no need for you to exist. However, before I kill you, I will search your soul to see if there is any useful information in your head and if I can find a few more Yao Race members worth talking to.”

“If I can find them, then I will give you a good burial place.”

When his voice fell, the Golden Flood Dragon King's aura completely vanished from this world.

Slaying a Tenth-Order Demonic Beast in just an instant was enough to prove exactly what level Zhao Changsheng's strength had reached. This level completely exceeded everyone's imagination and expectations; no one could have imagined that Zhao Changsheng was terrifying to such an extent.

“Resolved. It was truly simple. To think a Tenth-Order Demonic Beast would be weak to this degree; it's truly disappointing.”

After Zhao Changsheng put away the Golden Flood Dragon King's corpse, he offered his evaluation.

“That is because my husband is far too powerful; ordinary Cultivators are no match for you. This is why my husband's construction of the Star Sea Empire is certain to succeed. I believe this Star Sea Empire will definitely be built and will one day be able to stand on equal footing with the Great Jin Cultivation World.”

Madam Wen's figure appeared at the appropriate time, taking Zhao Changsheng's arm and smiling sweetly.

“You certainly have a sweet tongue. Next, let's find another Transformed Yao from among the Yao Race. I hope this one can make the correct judgment. If they can't, then I can only send them to the afterlife. It just so happens I also have some matters I want to find them for.”

Zhao Changsheng's words surprised Madam Wen slightly, and she immediately followed up with a question.

“Oh? I wonder which Yao Race Cultivator husband intends to find?”

“A Wind-Splitting Beast. However, he is currently only at the Peak of Rank Eight and is about to advance to Rank Nine. I don't know if he can successfully advance this time. But regardless, I have an important matter to find him for. I hope he doesn't disappoint me, as this matter is indeed very important.”

After Zhao Changsheng said this, he said to Madam Wen again: “You go back and have a good rest first. Bringing me here was also quite tiring. Hurry back and rest well; you can leave the subsequent matters to me.”

Madam Wen naturally did not dare to disobey Zhao Changsheng's words and immediately agreed, urging Zhao Changsheng to be extra careful. Although no one could harm Zhao Changsheng now, she still gave the warning.

“Don't worry, nothing will happen. Absolutely nothing.”

Immediately afterward, the two of them separated, and Zhao Changsheng headed directly to the sea area where the Wind-Splitting Beast was located.

At the same time, the news of the Golden Flood Dragon King's fall had already caused an uproar within the Flood Dragon Clan. After all, the Yao Race, like the humans, had things similar to Primordial Spirit Lamps.

As the king of the Flood Dragon Clan, the Golden Flood Dragon King was naturally qualified to have one. When his Primordial Spirit Lamp was extinguished, the entire Flood Dragon Clan naturally went into a frenzy.

They completely did not expect that their Grand Elder would be killed directly; this was truly news that shook their entire race. This news also spread immediately, impossible to suppress. Especially those Yao who already had grievances against the Flood Dragon Clan, they were the first to know this heart-warming news.

Although the Yao Race was currently preparing to act against the humans, those Yao who always had issues with the Flood Dragon Clan naturally wouldn't care about that. Because the two races had fought countless times, they cared more about immediate interests. After all, wanting to wipe out the Human Race was likewise no easy task, but an extremely difficult one.

Especially the person who could wipe out the Star Palace—if they could wipe out the Star Palace, then they could deal with them just as easily. Under these circumstances, there were actually quite a few Yao who were unwilling to go to war with the humans. But there was no choice; there were too many Yao who wanted to go to war, and those unwilling simply couldn't stop them, only finding ways to avoid this great war.

The Wind-Splitting Beast was one of them.

Because he wasn't originally considered a sea beast, but a Semi-Sea Beast. In this situation, he could avoid the great war. Therefore, he did not allow his clansmen to clash with the humans; thus, he could be considered a relatively clever member of the Yao Race.

In such matters, anyone even slightly foolish might end up in a place beyond redemption. So his mind was very clear right now, as he cared more about his own affairs and had no interest in this kind of conflict, nor did he want such things to affect his own business.

After all, if what he intended to do succeeded, then in the future, no one in the entire Yao Race would be able to match his speed.

He might even have the potential to go a step further and reach the Soul Transformation Stage. As long as he ran fast enough, he could go to many dangerous places, and the opportunities he could obtain would naturally be greater; he was well aware of this.

Naturally, he had to hurry and work on his own things; he had no time at all to bother with outside matters. To him, outside affairs were not particularly important at all.
