Deep within the endlessly deep, dark and eerie ravines of the seabed, countless unknown secrets and dangers seemed to be hidden. Here, no sunlight could penetrate the thick seawater to cast a single ray of light, and only eternal darkness and silence enveloped everything.
And in this heart-pounding darkness, the Black Mountain Divine Seal was quietly stuck in the narrow crevice between two huge underwater rocks, like a sleeping giant, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.
Occasionally, the Black Mountain Divine Seal would suddenly emit a few dazzling flashes of lightning, which would cut through the surrounding darkness like lightning, illuminating the trench. After a brief period of brightness, the trench was swallowed by darkness again.
Within the divine seal's inner lightning space, the red dragon revealed its true form—a fire dragon, now horned and clawed, perched atop a charred, blackened mountain. Its gaze, piercing with anticipation, stared at the blue dragon not far away, already scarred but still stubbornly resisting the rain of lightning.
Originally, after the storm ended, the Red Dragon planned to seek out Su Rui and reunite with him. However, fate had it encounter the Blue Chi at that very moment. The Blue Chi had suffered a severe injury from some mysterious creature, but it still retained some fighting ability. The Blue Chi possessed a powerful magical power, the Icy Soul Divine Light, making it even more formidable. The Red Dragon knew that a head-on confrontation would be costly. So, he repeatedly provoked the Blue Chi, finally luring it into the Divine Seal's dimension.
Thanks to Su Rui's special treatment, the Red Dragon was not only immune to lightning attacks within this divine seal dimension, but could also freely open and close the portals within it. In contrast, the poor Blue Dragon was not so lucky. Once it entered this thunder dimension, it immediately became the target of the most intense lightning attacks, trapped in a desperate situation with no way out.
After successfully refining the True Dragon remains provided by Su Rui, the Red Dragon's body underwent a profound transformation. It now possessed unique features only found on True Dragons, such as deer antlers, a snake neck, a clam belly, fish scales, and eagle claws. Furthermore, the True Dragon blood within it had become incredibly pure and rich, reaching peak condition.
Yet, despite this, the red dragon still harbored an inexplicable feeling—as if it was still missing some crucial element or opportunity to truly condense into a true dragon body. And the moment it laid eyes on the blue dragon, a powerful feeling suddenly surged within it: the opportunity to achieve its true dragon body lay within this blue dragon before it!
If its intuition was correct, then the key to its complete transformation into a true dragon was most likely the inner elixir within the Blue Chi. Therefore, no matter what, the Blue Chi must die! But then again, it had already walked this long road to becoming a dragon for so long that it didn't mind waiting a little longer. Thus, the Red Dragon appeared unusually calm and composed, without a trace of anxiety.
At this moment, the scene outside Black Sand Island is quite different.
After two days of secretly observing Black Sand Island, the Putuo Sect's members finally lost their patience and prepared to take action. While many factors contributed to their eagerness to act, the most crucial factor was that the highly respected Sect Leader simply couldn't resist his young disciple's desperate pleas and coquettish advances.
The Putuo Sect's offensive was incredibly fierce, devoid of any subtle twists and turns! They had actually set up positions directly at the four corners of Black Sand Island, and with the power of their Taoist soldiers, they condensed into the majestic forms of the four divine beasts: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These forms towered like mountains, emanating a terrifying aura.
Four mythical beasts, each commanding the powerful elements of gold, wood, water, and fire, formed an unstoppable torrent that charged directly towards the myriad ghost and demon formations set up by the Five Ghost Kings on White Sand Island. In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the wind and clouds surged, and the once calm sea surface erupted in raging waves, sending countless sea creatures terrified and fleeing in all directions.
Shi Yi was currently standing within the Lesser Southern Heavens, gazing at the Black Sand Island, shrouded in rolling black fog. He stared intently ahead, observing four divine beasts, their fangs bared and claws snarling, their mouths spewing blazing flames or piercing swords, as they unleashed a relentless, deafening bombardment of the Black Sand Island. Each impact ignited a deafening roar, the aftermath ripples so intensely that even the surrounding air seemed to rip.
Faced with such a spectacular sight, Shi Yi couldn't help but sigh: Putuo Sect's move is truly astonishing!
Of the four divine beasts, the Xuanwu's was the most magnificent. Its body reached a height of seventy to eighty feet, as majestic and imposing as a towering mountain. Its massive paws, like pillars supporting the heavens, suddenly slammed down on the sea, instantly stirring up a raging wave. The surging waters roared like a ferocious beast, sweeping towards the shore.
The monstrous waves crashed fiercely against the Myriad Demons Array on Black Sand Island, emitting a deafening roar. The entire island seemed to tremble, and above the Array, rocks and dust flew everywhere. The scene was extremely shocking!
Shi Yi secretly marveled in his heart. If it weren't for this powerful formation protecting Black Sand Island, the entire island would probably be reduced to ruins under the impact of this terrifying wave!
While the other three divine beasts' forms were slightly smaller, they were still over fifty feet tall. They were lifelike and lifelike, as if true divine beasts had descended into the world. Shi Yi couldn't help but secretly wonder what kind of background and strength the Putuo Sect possessed to be able to unleash such astonishing magical powers.
He wondered, "Could it be that the Putuo Sect truly has bred Daoist soldiers with the same bloodline as these divine beasts? Or perhaps they have obtained magical beasts and weapons corresponding to the Dharma? If so, then the Putuo Sect's strength is absolutely unfathomable!"
Thinking of this, he, who had lived two lives as a human, felt a sense of awe towards the tremendous strength of the Putuo Sect.
The situation outside was changing rapidly and the waves were turbulent, but the Putuo Mountain sect on the back of the dragon turtle remained as peaceful as before.
Wu Qianqian returned to Xiaonantian with a displeased look on her face. As soon as she saw Shi Yi, she started complaining, "Master is really pissing me off! He only sent a few useless Taoist soldiers to deal with me, and even specifically instructed Uncle Longao to keep an eye on me and not let me leave the sect..."
Hearing this, Shi Yi couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The Putuo Sect's display today seemed so insignificant in Wu Qianqian's eyes. Could it be that the Putuo Sect was hiding other, even more powerful and formidable Taoist soldiers or mysterious magical weapons? This made sense. After all, the Putuo Sect's dominance in the South China Sea meant its profound heritage was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Take, for example, the enormous dragon turtle beneath their feet. Shi Yi once suspected it was a genuine ancient beast, its cultivation so profound it had likely reached the pinnacle of this realm, with no further advancement possible. The Putuo Sect leader had assigned the dragon turtle to guard Wu Qianqian, meaning she wouldn't have even the slightest chance of escaping unless the dragon turtle deliberately let her go.
