Sea Emperor!
Vast Sea Emperor!
Both names were sufficient to leave the world awestruck.
Vast Sea Emperor was one of the 99 Emperors from antiquity times, who was famous in various worlds and had suppressed numerous Star Areas. Meanwhile, Sea Emperor was just a legend in the present world, a highly mysterious figure. Everyone knew that he was King of the endless Sea Area, but no one had ever known his real strength and ident.i.ty. In fact, since the structure of the Sea Area and the Seven-deity Regions was formed after antiquity times, n.o.body had any knowledge about the true power of this Sea Emperor, and no one had ever seen him in person or even heard him making any strikes.
But today, to everyone’s surprise, when the Supreme Fairy Weapon Great Constellation Palace was battling it out with the Primordial Demon Wugu Hou, with both sides incurring great losses, this mysterious figure had stepped in and made a strike!
Once he struck out, both sides were whirled into the infinite Sea Area. Falling into the raging seawaters, both the Primordial Demon and the Great Constellation Palace were utterly defenseless.
“Vast Sea Emperor, I’ve never offended you. Why are you doing this to me?” Wugu Hou yelled as he struggled to control his mutilated body, with a sullen look on his face.
“You are the Marquis among all the Primordial Demons. Thus, you are considered a great enemy of our Heaven Realm. If you were not the one I should target, who else would it be?”
“Are you really capable of making me suffer? I’ve already been suppressed for a million years, I definitely don’t want this to happen again. Vast Sea Emperor, if you let me go today, I swear I will never ever step into the Heaven Realm. Otherwise, you shall just go down with me! Although I’ve been suppressed for a million years and my strength has declined, it will still be quite hard for you to capture me alive!”
“Fine, although you are the sworn foe of Big Dipper and Thunder Emperor, you have nothing to do with me. I will let you off the hook!” Vast Sea Emperor replied, unexpectedly in a good mood. “However, you must make the Great Vow of the Heart Demon to swear that you will never go against our Heaven Realm!”
“Of course!” Wugu Hou agreed immediately without any hesitation. In front of all present, he made the Great Vow of the Heart Demon, and then, as a crack appeared in the boundless Sea Area, Wugu Hou instantly slipped into it and disappeared into the infinite hollow.
“Vast Sea Emperor, you can’t let him go, he…”
“Little device spirit, you’re speaking out of turn in telling me what to do!” Vast Sea Emperor interrupted the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Then, the overbearing torrents gathered together and turned into myriads of water arrows, shooting relentlessly at the Great Constellation Palace.
Those water arrows looked ordinary, but their power was astounding. Although each water arrow was merely the size of a sewing needle, the vandalizing power it displayed was not inferior to the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword of Zhou Bao.
“Wham, wham, wham…”
Numerous claps sounded, and the blazing starlight around the Great Constellation Palace gradually paled under the attacks and then completely died out. In an instant, the Great Constellation Palace was in fragments. In spite of the energy provision from the Pool of Thunder Tribulation, due to the lack in timely repairs, it teetered on the brink of collapse.
“Sea Emperor, have you forgotten the alliance treaty made by the Seven-deity Regions and the Sea Area years ago?”
“Hahaha, you’re a really funny junior. That alliance treaty is just a joke. Anyway, the alliance treaty merely regulates that we should refrain from invading each other’s territories. But this time it’s you guys from the Seven-deity Regions who invaded our Sea Area and caused trouble. Plus, you’ve taken away my subordinate. Well, do you really think you can escape my punishment by virtue of that lame treaty?” Vast Sea Emperor laughed maniacally. The water arrows suddenly stopped their attacks and disappeared, but torrents of water surged and flooded the Great Constellation Palace. Furthermore, even though the fine water arrows shot a moment ago seemed incapable of incurring any great harm to the Great Constellation Palace, they actually created numerous minute holes in the protective starlight crystals around the Great Constellation Palace. The starlight was not able to fix those small holes, and now as the Great Constellation Palace was sucked into violent torrents, seawater conveniently seeped into the inner s.p.a.ces of the Great Constellation Palace, including the Star Macro World.
“c.r.a.p, Vast Sea Emperor is taking this fight seriously this time. We’re absolutely no match for him!” Feeling that the situation was not going well, the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation hastily screamed. “Yu Taixu, I’ll pump the power of the Black Thunder into your Great Constellation Palace. You have to launch your Great Constellation Palace and fire the most powerful Void-shattering Bomb and run away from this Sea Area. But whether we can escape or not depends on our fate!”
“What? You’re nuts! In this way, the Great Constellation Palace will be ruined!” Yu Taixu shouted. “Based on the present power of the Great Constellation Palace, if I force it to fire the Void-shattering Bomb, it will definitely collapse!”
“There is no other way. I’ll do all I can to preserve the Great Constellation Palace and stop it from falling apart. But if you don’t take any action now, once it has been filled up by the power of the vast sea, we will have no chance at all!” This device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation was from antiquity times, so he knew how horrible this Vast Sea Emperor, one of the 99 Emperors, could be. The power of Vast Sea Emperor was definitely way above his Heavenly Fairy Weapon or the damaged Supreme Fairy Weapon. Further, Vast Sea Emperor also had his own Supreme Fairy Weapon, but he had not used it so far.
“Stop these meaningless struggles, Pool of Thunder Tribulation. Well, I’ve collected four Pools of Thunder Tribulation, but all of them were merely Taihao Fairy Weapons. But to my surprise, there is a Pool of Thunder Tribulation at the level of a Heaven Fairy Weapon in this place. Maybe Thunder Emperor has at last grasped the wonder of the impermanence of life. Now, let me subdue you first and have a good look at how powerful you are on earth!” As he spoke, the endless Sea Area abruptly stagnated for a second, and then the seawater which had entered the Great Constellation Palace turned into strands of silken threads which came alive and wrapped themselves around the device spirit with great agility.
“Vast Sea Emperor, if you think you can make me surrender with this little trick, you’re largely mistaken!” The device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation sent out jets of black lightning bolts to cover itself. Meanwhile he said, “Yu Taixu, if you don’t strike now, we won’t be able to walk away alive!”
Yu Taixu had long lost his prestige as the lord of the Divine Wind Palace. Currently, he was in a disheveled state, ashen-faced and gritting his teeth. His hair fluttered wildly as he kept his hands firmly on the controlling Black Crystal.
“All the heavens and worlds, a.s.semble your starlight and shatter the hollow!” Yu Taixu howled in fury. The controlling Black Crystal suddenly shone brightly and the Great Constellation Palace started raging. Waves of starlight rolled around and formed a bright-red light ball which was extremely small and nestled on top of the Great Constellation Palace.
“Void-shattering Bomb, fire!”
As his bellow rang out, the red light ball suddenly ejected a glowing streak of red in the s.p.a.ce and opened up a pitch-dark spatial tunnel in the sea. At the same time, the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation also let out a growl and the black bolts of lightning that were wrapped around it quickly transformed into a black lightning ball, which exploded in the Great Constellation Palace.
With this explosion, the black lightning expelled all the weird seawater that had seeped into the Great Constellation Palace so that it could not impose any threat upon the device spirit. The starlight around the Great Constellation Palace instantly condensed, and then, speedily slipped into the pa.s.sageway created by the Void-shattering Bomb and vanished into the vast hollow.
“Emperor, why did you let them go?”
In a mystical place at the endless Sea Area, a green-robed young man was sitting on a black stone, casually playing with a piece of emerald jade in his hand. Beside him stood a bony old man, carrying a heavy black turtle sh.e.l.l on his back. This old man was dressed exactly like the Turtle Prime Minister that Zhou Bao had seen in fairy tale cartoons in his previous life. The two whisks on either ends of his mouth were moving about and his two pupils were swirling around, which gave him a comical look.
“I’ve sensed the spirit of Azure Heavens!”
“Azure Heavens? Emperor of the Azure Heaven?” That old man was startled, his eyes filled with terror. “Emperor, are you sure…”
“Of course!” The green-robed man was actually the Sea Emperor, who was also known as Vast Sea Emperor in antiquity times. The s.p.a.ce they were in was quite narrow and looked like a seabed cave less than 30 square meters wide. The cave was free of water but the air inside was significantly stale, as if the cave had not been ventilated for many years. There was little spiritual qi in it as well. In front of the black stone which the green-robed man was sitting on was a small pond. This pond was tiny, even less than 10 square meters across. The black stone, the pond, and the two persons were all that occupied the inside of the cave.
“The Emperor of Azure Heavens is my close friend. I also know that he had some good ideas back then. But after all these years, I believed he met his downfall. I am hoping that he is still alive. Or at least, he still has the will to live!” the green-robed young man said with a faint smile. “Perhaps his situation will be better than mine. After all, he won’t be stuck in a cave like me. In this case, why not let him seize the opportunity?”
“You mean…”
“Even if I get that Pool of Thunder Tribulation, what else can I do with it, except use it as an extra plaything? Do you actually believe I can use its power to get out of this dilemma?” The green-robed young man sneered. “One Heavenly Fairy Weapon that has bred a device spirit is incapable of breaking the restraints imposed on me!”
“But at least, it can enhance your power!”
“No matter how strong my power gets, it won’t be able to alter the fact that I’m stuck here. But I’m way better off than that Wugu Hou, for he has been stranded for a total of a million years. Haha!”
The old man let out a wry laugh and fell silent. Then, his figure gradually faded away.
“Emperor of the Azure Heaven, I hope you’re still alive, or at least have the chance of staying alive.” After the old man with the turtle sh.e.l.l disappeared, the green-robed young man showed a gloomy face. He rubbed his head and laid down on the sewage-covered ground. Several seconds later, he fell asleep and started dreaming.
At this moment, let’s take a look at the endless hollow.
The Great Constellation Palace had almost fallen apart under the recoil force of the Void-shattering Bomb, but the device spirit of the Pool of Thunder Tribulation had taken certain measures that even Yu Taixu could not figure out and managed to successfully stabilize the Great Constellation Palace. However, Yu Taixu noticed that both sides had exerted all their efforts in trying to fight their way out, and both were so badly injured that recovery was not that easy.
The surroundings contained nothing but the hollow and the endless hollow did not reveal any clear route.
“Let’s just find a place to rest. When the Great Constellation Palace is fully repaired, I shall look for the route back to the Heaven Realm!” Yu Taixu muttered in his mind. “And that Zhou Bao is really ignorant! When I am settled, I’ll put him in suppression again, let him watch me kill all his family and relatives and dig out all their pupils to refine into…”
“Boom!” Just when Yu Taixu was immersed in his evil fantasy, the Great Constellation Palace suddenly shook violently. Then, a beam of vague red light instantly enveloped the entire Great Constellation Palace.
“Haha, now it’s my turn to get a bargain, hahaha!”
