The Yi Yuan Avatar at the peak of Divinity Transformation, wielding the Primordial Clock, engaged in a fierce battle against the ancient Flood Dragon armed with the superior Sea Suppressing Bead along the Eastern Yi coast. Their clash of Sixth Rank Artifacts unleashed earth-shattering forces, cracking the land and submerging vast territories into the Mysterious Sea, with shockwaves blocked by the Five Elements Sect's Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation. Dustless True Monarch, alerted by the Xuanji Instrument, hesitated but messaged other Divinity Transformations for support before resuming cultivation. Chen Mobai calmly directed the avatar's Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light Beam to counter the dragon's relentless divine skills, but the Flood Dragon's overwhelming assault breached the defense, leading to a climactic artifact confrontation that obliterated the remaining coast beyond protected areas, as Da Kong True Monarch arrived from the void.

Even such formidable might would barely allow him to survive unscathed if plunged into the epicenter; at best, he could rely on hidden arts to barely escape with his life.

Meanwhile, two rays of Spiritual Light burst forth from deep inside Bright Mirror Immortal City, far behind the Eastern Yi, reaching Da Kong True Monarch's position in mere moments.

The Escaping Light streaked past, unveiling two more Deity Transformations from the Eastern Continent's Righteous Dao.

Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi.

Yet these two had just achieved Deity Transformation recently, and upon seeing the scene, their faces showed even greater shock than Da Kong True Monarch's.

"Sect Master Chen’s power is truly horrifying!"

For the first time, Shenxi beheld Chen Mobai’s prowess after reaching Deity Transformation. Witnessing him positioned above the waves, halting the ancient Flood Dragon adorned with the Sea Suppressing Bead from advancing onto land, he felt complete awe.

In its current form, the Flood Dragon ranked as a supreme force in the Tianhe Realm, commanding vast Mana across the Mysterious Sea. Even the former Yuan Qingque would have backed away repeatedly before it.

Nevertheless, Chen Mobai directly subdued the Flood Dragon in a head-on clash within the Mysterious Sea.

The three observers understood that the Flood Dragon’s dominance stemmed solely from its home turf advantage; should it venture beyond the Mysterious Sea, the Sea Suppressing Bead alone wouldn’t guarantee an easy victory.

After all, a peak Deity Transformation Yi Yuan Avatar, paired with the Primordial Clock, proved highly effective in countering Five Elements attributes.

Without the superior quality of the Sea Suppressing Bead, it might have fallen under the Primordial Clock’s suppression right from the initial clash.

"Let’s join forces; we have to repel the Flood Dragon. If we permit it to wreak havoc unchecked, the Eastern Continent’s territories could face even graver devastation."

Da Kong True Monarch directed, and both Ni Yuanzhong and Shenxi agreed with nods.

As the three Escaping Lights shimmered, they had already descended next to Chen Mobai.

"Little friend, we’ve arrived too late."

Da Kong True Monarch said with a face full of regret, yet Chen Mobai simply shook his head lightly, feeling a quiet sense of ease inside.

The Primordial Clock’s quality was inferior; during the prior impact with the Sea Suppressing Bead, its Artifact Spirit had signaled an alert, warning it could withstand no more than three additional strikes.

Conversely, the elderly Flood Dragon, coiling above the Mysterious Sea, exuded an endless True Spirit aura that seemed bottomless and even intensifying.

Had Da Kong True Monarch and his companions not shown up, once the Five Elements Sect evacuated the Eastern Yi Coast’s inhabitants under the shelter of the Myriad Sword Dharma Body Sword Star, Chen Mobai would have withdrawn to the Sky Curtain Ground Network Formation as well, using the landscape to battle the Flood Dragon.

"A handful of young cultivators won’t alter the tide of this fight."

Upon spotting Da Kong True Monarch’s group, the ancient Flood Dragon’s demeanor stayed utterly composed. As the Tianhe Realm’s most ancient surviving True Spirit, it could rightfully call the Eastern Continent Righteous Dao’s Deity Transformations mere youths.

"You vile dragon, from this day forward, your Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court will stand as the top foe of our Eastern Continent Righteous Dao. It appears you’re ready to share the fate of the Golden Lion Royal Court’s collapse."

Ni Yuanzhong declared coldly, with the illusion of the Tongtian Refining Road Tower manifesting in his gaze, radiating a pressure that disrupted even the Flood Dragon’s True Spirit Bloodline.

"The Golden Lion Royal Court amounts to nothing and isn’t worthy of comparison to my Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court. My Mysterious Sea stretches infinitely and will eventually consume your entire Eastern Continent."

Scoffing in contempt, the Flood Dragon scanned its surroundings. The Sea Suppressing Bead, now liberated from the Primordial Clock’s hold, returned to hover above its crown.

"If you seek to devour the Eastern Continent, then we’ll step in to seal off the Mysterious Sea. When that happens, no matter the Sea Suppressing Bead you hold, your only outcome will be demise."

Shenxi responded, releasing a Spirit Talisman aglow with Immortal Light from his sleeve, which carried a dense essence of focus that even made Chen Mobai sense peril.

Could this be a Sixth Rank Spirit Talisman?!

But that wasn’t everything; a rectangular bronze cauldron emerged from Shenxi’s Storage Bag, its three legs shaped like True Dragons, and its two handles also carved as True Dragons with heads lifted high.

With one look, Chen Mobai identified the six dragon motifs from the Yi Yuan Avatar in the Eastern Emperor Court’s Temporal Dragon-Sovereign Scripture.

"The Dragon Capturing Tripod?! So it’s truly in your Dao Morale Sect’s possession, you pretenders!"

For the first time, the old Flood Dragon’s expression shifted at the sight of the cauldron, and it berated Shenxi.

Even Da Kong True Monarch and Ni Yuanzhong displayed faintly odd looks.

During the Eastern Emperor Court’s dissolution, the Dragon Capturing Tripod, as a paramount heirloom treasure, naturally attracted the Holy Lands’ attention. Multiple Deity Transformations had tried to claim it, but proved powerless against the enigmatic True Dragon, forced to witness its departure.

"It’s just a replica, a Dan Cauldron forged by the Empress of the Eastern Emperor Court using Heavenly And Earthly Treasures from the Five Continents and Four Seas to brew the Immortality Pill."

Shenxi’s tone remained steady as he explained the origins of the Sixth Rank Dan Cauldron.

In the Eastern Emperor Court’s prime, successive Deity Transformations from Dao Morale Sect acted as imperial Alchemists. This Dan Cauldron had been crafted for their benefit.

And following the Eastern Emperor Court’s downfall, the cauldron rightfully passed to Dao Morale Sect.

Upon realizing it wasn’t the actual Dragon Capturing Tripod, the old Flood Dragon immediately lost its sense of danger.

With another cold snort, it assessed the situation anew, channeling the Sea Suppressing Bead’s might to summon the surrounding Mysterious Sea waters, readying itself to retreat.

Although its Mana flowed without limit over the Mysterious Sea, shielded by the Sixth Rank Peak Treasure Bead for unbeatable defense, its Divine Sense and vitality remained limited.

In truth, it had aged considerably, unlike the others who were at their peak vigor.

Besides, be it the Primordial Clock, the Tongtian Refining Road Tower, or Shenxi’s Sixth Rank Spirit Talisman, each one aimed straight at its Sixth Rank strength. A single misstep could spell the doom of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Royal Court.

It was wiser to preserve strength for future drawn-out conflicts.

These four Deity Transformations couldn’t linger in Eastern Yi forever, after all.

With the restraining Sun God Tree now absent, the Eastern Yi Coast lay exposed; it could invade and depart at will.

There was no hurry.

Naturally, it wouldn’t leave without a final taunt.

"Henceforth, your Eastern Continent will dwell in endless dread, as I command the Mysterious Sea’s power to slowly submerge the lands your forebears once inhabited."

At the old Flood Dragon’s declaration, Ni Yuanzhong let out a cold huff first, the Tongtian Refining Road Tower in his eyes materializing fully, unleashing a Mysterious Nether Immortal Light infused with a capturing force for all True Spirits, enveloping the enormous black-scaled, golden-eyed Flood Dragon.

However, the Sea Suppressing Bead rotated, its azure glow swiftly intercepting the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light.

Da Kong True Monarch’s eyebrows knit together, the golden and silver rings in his grasp gleaming as the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light, almost dispersed by the azure radiance, faded into the horizon—only to bypass the Sea Suppressing Bead’s barrier via teleportation, striking the Flood Dragon’s neck.

"You scoundrels from Taixu MiaoMiao Palace are always so sneaky in your attacks!"

Sensing the tightening around its neck, its True Spirit Bloodline apparently sealed off, the Flood Dragon roared in fury, parting its jaws to engulf the Sea Suppressing Bead.

Azure light exploded from its maw, rapidly enveloping its form and purging the Mysterious Nether Immortal Light from the Tongtian Refining Road Tower.

By then, Shenxi had grasped the Sixth Rank Dan Cauldron, slamming it forcefully against the Flood Dragon’s backbone.

Da Kong True Monarch radiated silver luminescence, channeling every ounce of power into triggering the Void Lock.

Just as the veteran Flood Dragon prepared to counter, it abruptly froze above the waters.

With a heavy thudding crack, scores of inky-black scales splintered beneath the Dan Cauldron’s impact. Yet underneath, the Flood Dragon’s body had already been safeguarded by the Sea Suppressing Bead, so the cauldron merely arched its spine, plunging it into the depths and unleashing towering waves.

Then, akin to a fully drawn bowstring snapping back, the Flood Dragon’s sinuous form jerked upward, hurling the cauldron into the air.

But in that instant, strands of prismatic light danced across the Flood Dragon’s scales, ripping open a gash at the prior strike point, stripping away over a thousand ebony scales along with a substantial swath of hide.
