Book 6: Chapter 041: Another Wave Comes after One Just Calmed Down

As time passed, the damage to the dragon palace’s barrier spread. More water poured in, flooding the entire dragon palace.

The dragon’s gate’s area did not sit on high ground. Now, the floodwaters were already the height of two people and still rising.

Long Shenwu and Di Shitian brought out their full power. Anyone would feel upset at being suppressed by someone they had looked down on.

However, the two were no match for Gu Hai even when cooperating.

Gu Hai’s foundation was simply too firm. When using just the physical body, he was unrivaled within the same realm.

If it were a loss to someone of the same realm, the two would have accepted it—however, they were losing to the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm Gu Hai. Naturally, they were upset. If they could not get rid of Gu Hai today, Gu Hai would become like a bone in the throat, a knot in their hearts.

“Cough! Cough! Cough!”

Nearby, Shangguan Hen climbed onto a larger rock. Now, his body was incredibly weak.

On the other side, Chang Ming fought Ao Sheng. Ao Sheng attacked several times but could not do anything about Chang Ming.

“Are you all dead? Also, Di Shitian’s dragons, why are you not coming in?” Ao Sheng roared.

The countless dragons outside did not enter the dragon’s gate’s area, as they would suffer from the restrictions inside. Furthermore, the gravity would increase a millionfold, making movement difficult.

Those in the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm did not dare to enter. Even the weaker Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators would struggle to move and worry about dying. After all, the shock waves and flying debris from Gu Hai’s battle were incredibly horrifying.

However, when the two sides were in a deadlock, Ao Sheng roared a summons.

A group of dragons immediately swam in with much difficulty.

The moment they entered, they felt incredible pain from the suppression. However, they still headed towards the center.

“Hurry! Capture Shangguan Hen!” Ao Sheng roared.

“Roar! Roar!”

A group of dragons swam toward Shangguan Hen.

“How dare you?!” Chang Ming cried out as his expression changed.

“Whether we dare or not, you can’t leave. Loathsome bat, right now, your opponent is me!” The scowling Ao Sheng blocked Chang Ming.

Chang Ming could not go to rescue Shangguan Hen.

“Anyone who dares to touch Shangguan Hen will form a grudge with me. I will not let this matter rest!” Gu Hai suddenly yelled.

“Huh?” The faces of the distant dragons stiffened.

Gu Hai will remember us?

“Hahahahahaha! Not let this matter rest? Go! Take down Shangguan Hen!” Long Shenwu called out with a ferocious expression.

“Your Reverence?!”

“All Gu Hai has is a strong physical body. Humph! After he leaves the dragon’s gate’s area, he will only be an early-stage Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. How could he pursue this matter? Take down Shangguan Hen for us!” Long Shenwu said while glaring.

“Yes!”

Many dragons immediately charged toward Shangguan Hen.

Di Shitian did not stop Long Shenwu, as the two had discovered that even when bringing out their full power, they could not kill Gu Hai in the dragon’s gate’s area. Now, they could only resort to trickery, using Shangguan Hen to distract Gu Hai.

“You are seeking death!” Gu Hai attacked the two.

Boom! Boom!

Gu Hai sent Di Shitian and Long Shenwu flying.

Gu Hai wanted to rush over to Shangguan Hen. However, Di Shitian and Long Shenwu immediately returned to block him.

“Trying to leave? Hahahahaha! You can’t leave!” Long Shenwu sneered with a ferocious expression.

The surrounding dragons neared Shangguan Hen.

Right now, Shangguan Hen had no strength left. How could he defend?

Shangguan Hen smiled weakly. “Your Reverence, I have implicated you again!”

“Roar!”

Just as Shangguan Hen felt helpless and guilty, a loud voice came from above the dragon’s gate. It was Ao Shun.

Boom!

The glowing white ball above shrank. Then, Ao Shun’s large dragon body appeared and swallowed the glowing white ball.

“Ao Shun?” Ao Sheng’s expression changed.

“The Western Sea’s dragon deity?” Di Shitian’s face sank.

“Western Sea’s dragon deity, Ao Shun will not disappoint you. Many thanks!” Ao Shun shouted exceptionally gravely.

“Ao Shun, save Shangguan Hen!” Gu Hai yelled.

High above, Ao Shun was startled to its senses and lowered its head to look, immediately seeing the intense battle below.

About ten dragons had already approached Shangguan Hen, wanting to rip him to pieces.

“Roar!”

Ao Shun let out a furious roar and charged down.

Despite being in the dragon’s gate’s area, it inexplicably could use its energy.

Boom!

A draconic aura several times stronger than before spread out, causing everyone’s expression to change. When the powerful draconic might appeared, the water exploded, splashing.

“Your cultivation increased by that much?” Ao Sheng’s expression changed.

Bang!

Ao Shun landed beside Shangguan Hen and swept out its black dragon tail.

Boom!

It looked like ten large dragon tails appeared out of nowhere and swung at the ten ferocious dragons.

“Don’t!”

“Save me!”

“No!”

The dragons cried out in horror.

Boom!

The dragons shot out in all directions like cannonballs, crashed into the mountains, and smashed them apart.

Blargh! Blargh! Blargh!

The dragons vomited blood and slumped to the ground. It was as if Ao Shun had shattered all their bones. The incapacitated dragons could not move, lying there horrified.

The other dragons charging over shivered and immediately fled in all directions, their expressions changing.

Ao Shun did not give chase. Instead, it took human form and helped up Shangguan Hen.

“Prime Shangguan? You…lost your cultivation?” Ao Shun said as his expression changed.

Shangguan Hen smiled bitterly and nodded.

As Ao Shun helped up Shangguan Hen, he looked at the two battles nearby. When he saw Gu Hai fighting Di Shitian and Long Shenwu alone, his eyelids twitched wildly.

“Imperial Emperor Gu is mighty. Royal Father was right. Imperial Emperor Gu’s foundation is very firm,” Ao Shun said with a bitter smile.

Then, Ao Shun turned to look at the other battle: Ao Sheng against Chang Ming.

“Chang Ming’s cultivation also increased? Ao Sheng? Humph!” Ao Shun snorted coldly.

As Ao Shun snorted, he stepped forward, supporting Shangguan Hen.

Whoosh!

Ao Shun immediately arrived before Ao Sheng.

Ao Shun’s sudden appearance surprised Ao Sheng.

Ao Sheng’s expression changed. “You obtained the inheritance of the Western Sea’s dragon deity? The dragon’s gate’s restriction is ineffective on you now?”

“Ao Sheng, don’t keep going down the wrong path,” Ao Shun advised coldly.

As Ao Shun spoke, he flung out his hand.

Boom!

Ao Shun sent Ao Sheng flying with a palm strike and crashing into a mountain.

Ao Shun accomplished that easily. This was the difference between having access to energy and not. Furthermore, Ao Shun had received the inheritance of the Western Sea’s dragon deity, which significantly increased his cultivation.

Blargh! “Ao Shun!” Ao Sheng roared while glaring, after spewing a mouthful of blood.

On the other side, Gu Hai suppressed Di Shitian and Long Shenwu. The two had seen Ao Shun take action in the distance. When they realized that Ao Shun could freely use his cultivation, their expressions changed.

After exchanging glances, they showed bitter smiles.

Ao Shun’s appearance broke the balance. Now, it would be impossible to kill Gu Hai in the dragon’s gate’s area.

Indeed, Ao Shun turned his head to look over from a distance.

The two’s faces sank.

“Let’s go!” Long Shenwu roared.

“Thinking of leaving now? Humph!” Gu Hai’s expression turned cold as he extended his hand to attack.

Boom! Boom!

An immense force struck the backs of the two trying to retreat.

Blargh! Blargh!

The two spewed a mouthful of blood. However, that force sent them out of the dragon’s gate’s area; they shot out like sharp arrows.

“Gu Hai, let’s see if you will come out or not! Humph!” Long Shenwu said, livid as he wiped blood off his lips.

“Halt!” Ao Shun glared as he extended his hand. Suddenly, a large palm manifested in the dragon’s gate’s area.

“Humph!” Long Shenwu snorted coldly as he countered with a palm strike.

Boom!

The exchange blasted Long Shenwu out. However, the palm strike from the strong physical body shattered the surrounding rocks and mountains and kicked up waves.

“The dragon’s gate’s area is under a restriction. Ao Shun, I don’t believe you will never come out!” Ao Sheng roared as he also rushed out of the dragon’s gate’s area.

Whoosh!

Di Shitian and Long Shenwu exited the dragon’s gate’s area. The moment they did, they unleashed surging fiery auras to force away the surrounding seawater.

“Surround the dragon’s gate’s area! No one is allowed to leave!” Di Shitian said while glaring.

At this moment, Di Shitian felt incredibly incensed. Initially, he wanted to kill Gu Hai in the dragon’s gate’s area. Unfortunately, the restriction no longer worked on Ao Shun. How could Di Shitian continue fighting?

Fight strength with strength and toughness with toughness. Di Shitian and Long Shenwu had to avenge themselves in the way they had lost to avert a mental block. Otherwise, their cultivations would stagnate, making progress difficult. Although they had lost earlier, they did not feel that Gu Hai could kill them. That was why they had relentlessly prosecuted the battle. Now that Ao Shun had recovered the use of his energy, persistence would only mean death.

Di Shitian’s face sank as he surrounded the dragon’s gate’s area with Long Shenwu. No one could leave.

“Roar! Roar!”

The dragons outside roared. Towering waves filled the interior while rocks and mountains shattered.

“Your Reverence, are you alright?” A group of Wu Nation officials looked worriedly at Long Shenwu.

“Keep a close watch. No one is to leave!” Long Shengwu ignored his subordinates as he coldly surveyed the dragon’s gate’s area.

Large waves soared up in the dragon’s gate’s area. No one could see Gu Hai’s group anymore.

“Where are they?” Long Shenwu frowned slightly.

“Seawater, calm down for me!” Di Shitian extended his hand and pressed down.

Buzz!

The surrounding seawater settled. Even the seawater in the dragon’s gate’s area calmed.

Now, the water in the dragon’s gate’s area was the height of five people. However, Gu Hai, Ao Shun, Chang Ming, and Shangguan Hen were nowhere in sight.

“They hid? Let’s see how long you can hide!” Ao Sheng said, scowling.

The dragon’s gate’s area was surrounded. If anyone came out, the experts would immediately discover them. Even the underwater sections were guarded. However, there was no movement.

Where’s Gu Hai?

Di Shitian and Long Shenwu appeared frustrated, but they waited patiently.

However, they did not know that four carps had already swum away from the dragon’s gate’s area, going against the flow and exiting from the breach in the barrier.

The four carps swam up a pillar of water and left the Western Sea Dragon Palace.

“Shangguan Hen is currently weak. We will bring him with us. You leave first and operate independently. We will meet again at the place we previously discussed,” a golden carp said seriously.

“Yes, Your Reverence!”

Two carps immediately left, swimming in different directions.

“Your Reverence, I have implicated you.” The white carp showed a bitter smile as it looked at the golden carp.

“You got injured because of us. How is that implicating me? Unfortunately, I can only reconstruct your physical body and cannot restore your cultivation. Hah…let’s leave this place first,” the golden carp sighed softly.

The white carp swam slowly, moving together with the golden carp.

The carps swam toward the sea. As they swam, they saw beams of golden light above the surface.

The white carp’s expression changed. “Oh no! The Spirit Mountain Holy Land? They were waiting here to reap the benefits?”

“Make a detour,” the golden carp said sullenly.

The two carps tried to avoid the light.

Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot over, shining on the two carps like a spotlight.

A loud shout came from the surface. “Hahahahaha! Gu Hai, did you think you could escape the notice of this Old Sun’s Fiery Golden Eyes by transforming into carps? Lord Buddha, Gu Hai is there. He is that golden carp! That is Gu Hai!”
