Ye Jingyu, an elder of the Ye Family's Spirit Plant Hall, makes a desperate breakthrough attempt to reach the Purple Mansion stage using the Qi Blood Transformation Technique before her lifespan runs out. Meanwhile, the young Spiritual Child Ye Yunmei successfully breaks through to the same stage, showcasing her innate talent. Both women consolidate their newfound realms, and the news of Ye Jingyu's successful, life-extending breakthrough is relayed to the Patriarch. Elsewhere, deep beneath the Yin Shark Sea, the Ye Family has established a thriving underwater cultivation base, raising various spirit fish and nurturing a Tier Four Spirit Jade Ore Vein with the help of a powerful Chenjing.

In the Nameless Sea Domain, there was an island called Osprey Island.

The entire island was shaped like an eagle’s beak. The Demon King stationed there was none other than a Flowing Wind Fish Eagle Demon King. Compared to other Demon Kings who more or less had their own kin and subordinates, this Flowing Wind Fish Eagle Demon King was a solitary eagle. It would sometimes perch on the tallest, massive Willow Wood, and at other times, it would sprint a lap through the sky.

In the past, it would hunt for food far away. However, these days, it simply waited quietly for Sea Fish to deliver themselves to its doorstep, resting beside the Willow Wood in silent anticipation.

If one followed its gaze, inside a giant cave nearby stood a crystal-clear Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree, radiating majestic Dragon Qi. Upon this fruit tree, a dazzling, translucent Celestial Dragon Fruit was on the verge of ripening.

The Fish Eagle Demon King couldn’t help but lick its beak. Although the Celestial Dragon Fruit was more useful to the Flood Dragon Race, it was, after all, a Tier Four High Grade Spirit Fruit. No matter who consumed it, their physical strength would increase immensely. It was just that if members of the Flood Dragon Race consumed it, there was a certain chance it would elevate their bloodline.

Taking one last look, the Fish Eagle Demon King felt a slight emptiness in its stomach. It took to the sky and patrolled around the island.

In a spot unseen by the eagle, a figure in a Blue Robe silently appeared beside the cave. Its gaze probed into the cave dwelling, its eyes flashing with a covetous Spiritual Aura.

"It really is a Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree. This useless fish eagle actually has such good luck," the Blue Robe figure said excitedly.

As it spoke, it proceeded further inside. However, in the very next moment, its expression changed drastically as a water-blue Spiritual Light suddenly burst forth. The Blue Robe figure instantly turned into a layer of water mist and dissipated on the spot.

Yet, when the blue mist reappeared, a massive bead silently radiated light, enveloping the Blue Robe figure. From the void, two figures stepped out—they were none other than Ye Jingcheng and Ye Xuecang.

The Ye Family had been plotting against this Cold Flood Dragon for over two months. Initially, they were in the Yin Shark Sea, accelerating the ripening of Tier Four and Tier Five Spirit Fruits there. However, that Old Cold Flood Dragon never took the bait. Because of this, Ye Jingcheng changed both the island and the Array. He even retrieved the Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree from the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor and used the Blood Spring to catalyze its growth, finally luring this Old Cold Flood Dragon into their trap.

As for the Fish Eagle Demon King, it was exactly one of the three Demon Kings the Ye Family had subdued.

"Jingcheng, break its spirit first. This Cold Flood Dragon is too cunning," Ye Xuecang reminded him.

The Ye Family was determined to attempt subduing the flood dragon. If this Cold Flood Dragon was willing to submit, it would be entirely acceptable even if Ye Jingcheng dissolved the Soul Contracts with all the other Demon Kings. He could even dissolve the contract with the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor. After all, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. The Spirit Materials for the Advancement Pill had all been gathered, meaning it could enter Seclusion for Advancement any day now. Given how deeply the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor relied on the Ye Family at this point, the possibility of it rebelling was practically nonexistent.

Hearing this, Ye Jingcheng nodded.

At this moment, inside the Chessboard Bead, the Old Cold Flood Dragon spat out a Cold Bead. In an instant, everything was frozen over. The entire world inside the Chessboard Bead turned into ice sculptures. The Chess Puppets were rendered completely useless, demonstrating the dragon’s unparalleled strength.

Only the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was currently inside the Chessboard Bead, locked in a fierce, inseparable battle with the Old Cold Flood Dragon. Otherwise, this Cold Flood Dragon might have already broken through the Chessboard Bead’s Barrier and escaped.

Even though the Old Cold Flood Dragon had slightly higher Cultivation, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon possessed a stronger bloodline and abundant ferocity. It was completely unafraid of getting hurt. It would allow the Cold Flood Dragon to land a heavy claw on its body, ripping its Scale Armor off, just to retaliate. In return, it would ruthlessly tear away a large chunk of the opponent’s Scale Armor, leaving behind long, narrow bloody gashes.

That sheer ruthlessness made even the Old Cold Flood Dragon shudder in fear.

The Jade Qilin Flood Dragon knew very well in its heart that if it got injured, Ye Jingcheng would heal it. But if its opponent got injured, it would very likely end up on its dinner plate. If it could eat this Cold Flood Dragon, not only would the benefits be immense, but in its eyes, such a massive beast was bound to be absolutely delicious.

Therefore, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon fought with all its might, its eyes constantly shining with a greedy Spiritual Aura. It would occasionally spit out Cold Dragons and unleash its Profound Cold Domain. In this aspect, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was indeed more talented.

Unfortunately, since both beasts possessed the Ice Attribute, their Secret Techniques were of little use. The battle relied entirely on physical prowess, and when it came to physical bodies, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s advantage was no longer significant. In fact, it was somewhat at a disadvantage. Combined with its reckless trading of blows, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was already starting to falter.

"Humans, are you not afraid that my Flood Dragon Race will incite a Beast Tide?!" the Cold Flood Dragon shouted sternly. It clearly knew that where there were Magical Treasures, there were greedy Human Race Cultivators.

In the Sea Domain, the Flood Dragon Race was naturally an overlord-tier faction. They rampaged without restraint and possessed an extremely strong desire for revenge.

However, there was no response from the air. Instead, a layer of earthen-yellow Spiritual Light was suddenly cast into the Chessboard Bead, followed by a golden, Gold Soil-yellow Flood Dragon materializing in the void.

"Are you from the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea?" The Old Cold Flood Dragon hesitated upon seeing two flood dragons at the same time.

Besides the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, it didn’t know anywhere else that could field two flood dragons of different attributes fighting together—not to mention the presence of a Celestial Dragon Fruit Tree right in front of them, an item that would drive the Flood Dragon Race mad. With this realization, its earlier threat became completely useless. It had escaped from the Celestial Flood Dragon Sea, and the other party was clearly here to apprehend it.

But before the Cold Flood Dragon could overthink, massive icebergs suddenly appeared in its surroundings, converging toward it. These icebergs emanated a yellow Spiritual Aura and carried a terrifying gravitational force that almost caused its body to stumble and fall. It was only thanks to its robust physical body; otherwise, if it were an ordinary Demon Beast, it would have plummeted from the sky right then and there, or even been torn to shreds by the closing Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

This yellow Spiritual Light and the icebergs were exactly the Rock Burst Divine Techniques executed by the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor. Although inside the Chessboard Bead it could only condense icebergs instead of rocks, coupled with the terrifying gravity, the power was not diminished in the slightest.

In the end, the Old Cold Flood Dragon had to spit out its Lifebound Cold Pearl Core once more to freeze the surrounding icebergs, releasing a foul wind just in time to shatter the Divine Techniques. Otherwise, if the Rock Burst had landed, there would have been only one outcome for it.

However, before the Cold Flood Dragon could heave a sigh of relief, a bizarre purple flame inexplicably appeared on its body. And before it could use any Divine Techniques to extinguish it, this purple flame turned cyan, carrying a Heaven-Burning momentum in the blink of an eye. What was most terrifying was that it suddenly felt its Vitality continuously draining away.

The Vitality of the Flood Dragon Race was naturally incredibly strong. An ordinary Tier Four Demon King could live for four to five thousand years, while a Tier Five Demon Emperor could live for seven to eight thousand years. Normally, losing a bit of Vitality wouldn’t even be perceptible to it. But now, the rate at which its Vitality was vanishing made it feel as though all of its potential was about to be eradicated.

This scared it out of its wits. It hurriedly charged toward the periphery. At this moment, it was determined to escape, even if it meant being heavily injured by the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor.

But how could Ye Jingcheng let it retreat?

Ye Jingcheng manipulated his Spirit Treasure, and a Holy Spirit Tower instantly enveloped the Old Cold Flood Dragon. The Holy Spirit Tower inherently possessed a suppressing effect against Demon Beasts. Moreover, Ye Jingcheng had activated the Treasure Communication Technique, significantly amplifying the Holy Spirit Tower’s power.

A Holy Spirit manifested, transforming into a giant Spirit Shadow that ruthlessly pressed down upon the Cold Flood Dragon.

"ROAR!"

In an instant, the Old Cold Flood Dragon roared and struggled incessantly. Its massive body thrashed about, causing the entire Holy Spirit Tower to continuously shudder. Even Ye Jingcheng could feel an immense force churning against the Holy Spirit Tower. His True Essence drained rapidly as the terrifying strength of the Flood Dragon Race was fully displayed.

Unfortunately, the Cold Flood Dragon’s resistance was doomed to be futile. Facing two flood dragons, a Demon Emperor Red Flame Fox, plus the Nascent Soul cultivator Ye Jingcheng—even if this Cold Flood Dragon were at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul, it would likely perish today. Not to mention, this Cold Flood Dragon was only at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul!

ROAR!

At this moment, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon seized the opportunity to lunge forward, snapping its jaws down forcefully.

RIP!

The Old Cold Flood Dragon’s Flood Dragon Claw was forcibly torn off in this instant. Beside it, the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor slammed down its massive tail. The Red Flame Fox also ignited terrifying flames, scorching the Old Cold Flood Dragon.

"Submit or die!" Ye Jingcheng’s voice rang out coldly!
