Chapter 2878: Chapter 1339
The Black Dragon Formation of the Mysterious Sea Monster Race, its source of power, originates from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
Or rather, it is an extension of the Sea Eye Array.
Just like the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, which can utilize the Spirit Vein and satellites to protect the army of the Five Elements Sect, the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court can also rely on the vast Mysterious Sea to expand its Guardian Array.
However, the range is limited; the further from the Sea Eye, the weaker the power.
For this reason, the army of the Five Elements Sect advanced to this place before the little flood dragon finally unleashed this power, and it required deploying its siblings to wield it in order to confront the Five Elements Dao Soldiers and fleet.
This time, Qing Nu, with the power of the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead, turned the tide by controlling the Mysterious Sea’s power within a thousand miles, restraining and capturing the flood dragons within the monster army. The little flood dragon in control of the Black Dragon Formation immediately realized something was amiss.
It took action at once, attempting to stop it.
The massive Black Dragon emerging from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court undeniably wielded sixth-rank power. Without the protection of the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation, the fleet led by Mo Douguang might have been evaporated in an instant of resistance.
However, such a powerful Black Dragon could not withstand even a single strike when faced with the Primordial Clock played by Chen Mobai.
"Chen Guixian, bullying the small with the big, how shameless!"
Upon seeing the Primordial Clock hovering above the Mysterious Sea, the little flood dragon knew who had arrived. While casting the foundational Black Scales of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court and activating the Sea Eye Array’s power to resist the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead, it gathered boundless water vapor to manifest its dragon form, cursing at Chen Mobai.
"Little eel, don’t forget, my age isn’t even a fraction of yours."
As Chen Mobai spoke, his Divine Sense moved, and the Primordial Clock resonated once more. The five-colored ripples, accompanied by the clear chime, once again disintegrated the dragon form manifested by the little flood dragon.
During this process, Qing Nu was already utilizing the power of the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead to capture one black flood dragon after another from within the monster army.
With a loud splash, whirlpools broke open across the sea surface.
In the eyes of the million cultivators from the Five Elements Sect and its vassal forces, the mighty Black Dragon that they struggled to approach seemed like an eel being fished up, desperately struggling, yet its body was being forcibly drawn out in segments, forming whirlpools.
Soon, the two shortest flood dragons were bound by transparent strings, drawn out of the whirlpools.
With a wave of his large sleeve, Chen Mobai extended his Law Domain, enveloping them within.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a thunderous dragon roar emanated from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, unleashing a vast, innate Water Great Dao power, sweeping across the surrounding thousand miles, impacting the Mysterious Sea where the monster army was located.
The remaining flood dragons just halfway pulled out, their transparent water ropes suddenly disintegrated.
Regaining their freedom, these flood dragons immediately dove back into the sea, fleeing towards the direction of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
Constantly vigilant, Chen Mobai immediately noticed that the power of the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead controlled by Qing Nu was being overshadowed by a piece of black scale triggered by the little flood dragon.
He speculated it might have been left by the Ancestor Black Dragon, allowing it to overpower the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead.
"Trying to escape!"
Understanding the reason, Chen Mobai immediately took action, and the power of the Primordial Clock began to erupt continuously.
Even during the Dingyuan Sea Suppressing Bead’s peak state, without the support of the Mysterious Sea, it was suppressed by the Primordial Clock, not to mention the currently advanced Primordial Clock.
As more brilliant five-colored ripples emerged, the power of the black dragon spreading from the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court was also resisted and pushed back in circles.
However, amid the power unleashed by that black scale, besides the innate Water Great Dao power, there seemed to be a force beyond the sixth rank, preventing the Primordial Clock from fully suppressing it.
Eventually, several rapid flood dragons, shielded by the little flood dragon, fled back into the Dragon Palace Array.
Yet, the last few flood dragons could not escape their fate, knocked unconscious by the Primordial Clock, and subsequently captured by Qing Nu, delivered into Chen Mobai’s Law Domain.
With these flood dragons fleeing, the remaining Mysterious Sea monsters, led by their leaders, also rushed towards the Dragon Palace, fleeing in retreat.
Because Zhang Pankong was nearby, Chen Mobai refrained from releasing the deep sea giant beasts of the Cangliu Sea in his presence.
Under the guidance of the Spiritual Venerable over the years, and with the rich spiritual energy within the Law Domain, three of her disciples have achieved the fifth rank’s undying body.
In the Tianhe Realm, fifth-rank demonic beasts draw particular attention.
Although Taixu True King seems friendly, Chen Mobai still prefers to conceal his side’s strength as much as possible.
After all, should he ascend and leave one day, these will serve as the foundation to protect the Five Elements Sect.
The less known about the foundation, the better for the Five Elements Sect.
However, though the deep sea giant beasts from Cangliu Sea would be unwisely released, the army of the Five Elements Sect unabashedly commenced pursuit.
Now with Chen Mobai, the Tianhe Realm’s top Divinity Transformation, holding the line, Mo Douguang advances the entire army without concern.
And as he anticipated, even though the Mysterious Sea Monster Race outnumbered the Five Elements Sect by dozens, upon seeing the vast White Jade Bell above the Mysterious Sea, they all fled in panic.
This pursuit lasted continuously for ten days and nights, stopping only at the entrance of the Dragon Palace in the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
Mo Douguang was bold enough to command the Five Elements Fleet to attack the Guardian Array of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court; if Chen Mobai hadn’t intervened, the retaliatory force from the array would surely have destroyed hundreds of treasure ships.
"This formation connects to the Mysterious Sea Eye, and the Four Seas Sea Eye was personally established by the Mother of Water as the origin of this realm, containing the power of Creation. Without severing the connection between the Sea Eye and the array, even if a Seventh-rank Magical Artifact were used, it would be futile."
Zhang Pankong, who had been following Chen Mobai, pointed at the dark dragon shadow encircling the Dragon Palace of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, and spoke of the information he had found in the Taixu MiaoMiao Palace.
"The Primordial Water Control Banner and the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler from our sect can both isolate the Sea Eye..."
Zhang Pankong hinted subtly at the end.
The Primordial Water Control Banner aligns with the Great Tao, while the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler controls the Void, directly capable of separating the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court from the Tianhe Realm.
"Brother Zhang means I should head to Central State to ask the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler to intervene?"
Chen Mobai understood Zhang Pankong’s implication but was still somewhat surprised.
Why does it seem like he’s the Sect Master of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, capable of commanding the Taixu True King’s treasure of Dao?
"The Ancestor has stood against the Primordial Water Control Banner for Brother Chen, let alone this mere Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court," Zhang Pankong expressed eagerly.
Even for the Divinity Transformation of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace, opportunities to witness the treasure of Dao in action are few and precious.
And last time, on the Floating Dao Platform, when the Taixu Measuring Sky Ruler intervened, the Void Great Dao was fully exhibited, greatly benefiting Zhang Pankong and other Divinity Transformations of Taixu MiaoMiao Palace. They kept wishing they could see their sect’s treasure of Dao in action more often.
They certainly lacked the authority, but Chen Mobai likely had it.
"Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut; I’ll try to break the array myself first. If it truly fails, then I’ll go to Central State to request the seniors’ intervention."
Chen Mobai hesitated but decided not to heed Zhang Pankong.
Though Zhang Pankong was quite regretful, he knew he had things to do himself: "Alright, Brother Chen, you continue your work; I’ll go set up the Teleportation Array."
After Zhang Pankong teleported away, Chen Mobai called up Ku Zhu and Mo Douguang, instructing them to encircle the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court, then entered his Law Domain with Qing Nu.
The captured Mysterious Flood Dragons faced Chen Mobai’s interrogation; two remained defiant, either keeping silent or angrily cursing.
But the remaining four directly sought mercy, with one even willing to become a steed, pleading for the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor’s reprieve.
Chen Mobai greatly appreciated creatures that recognized their circumstances, giving this eager-to-advance Mysterious Flood Dragon a chance.
From its mouth, he received the inheritance texts and patterns of the Mysterious Flood Dragon clan; thereafter, he questioned the other dragons.
Facing a life-and-death crisis, none of the pleading dragons dared to play tricks, providing only correct information.
Through these, Chen Mobai and Qing Nu translated the residual marks within the Sea Suppressing Bead.
Sure enough, besides the cultivation methods of the Mysterious Flood Dragon clan, there were techniques for controlling the Sea Eye’s power and even inheritance concerning the Dragon Palace Guardian Array.
With Chen Mobai’s expertise in formations, after learning this, he naturally thought of methods to break the array.
The key to the Dragon Palace Array lies in using the Mysterious Sea Eye as its Spiritual Pivot.
Originally, it was achieved because the Ancestor Black Dragon, when the Mother of Water transcended, wanted to devour the Sea Eye and harmonize with it.
Despite ultimately failing, its bloodline was fused into the Sea Eye, enabling the Mysterious Flood Dragon clan, through bloodline inheritance, to control part of the Sea Eye’s power.
However, even the purest bloodline Mysterious Flood Dragon cannot surpass the control authority over Sea Eye power compared to the Sea Suppressing Bead.
By sealing the Sea Eye with the Sea Suppressing Bead, the supply of Sea Eye power controlled by the small Flood Dragons’ bloodline to the Dragon Palace Array can be cut off.
Nevertheless, to face the invasion of the Five Elements Sect, the Dragon Palace Array was already filled with the Sea Eye’s power.
It may require time to completely dismantle the array and capture the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.
However, Chen Mobai hoped to resolve the matter within two years.
Thus he went to Cangliu Sea.
"Friends, kindly deal with these fish and shrimp."
Upon opening his Law Domain, Chen Mobai pointed at the Mysterious Sea Dragon Palace outside, speaking to the eagerly awaiting Deep Sea Giant Beasts of the Cangliu Sea.
Dragon Palace surroundings were crowded with fleeing Mysterious Sea Monster Race members, densely packed and countless, whose power was also linked with the Dragon Palace Array.
Compared to the massive Deep Sea Giant Beasts, these sea-dwelling demons truly resembled the fish and shrimp they normally eat.
"Leave it to us!"
The leading giant octopus nodded, signaled the Spiritual Venerable afar, and was the first to crawl out of the Law Domain.
