Chen Mobai successfully cultivates the Primordial Golden Dou and prepares to test his newfound Law Domain against the ancient flood dragon. Deciding to act alone without seeking aid from other sects, he travels to the heart of the Mysterious Sea, the dragon's home territory. Upon his arrival at the Sea Eye, he initiates a confrontation by striking the Primordial Clock, provoking the enraged monster deep beneath the waves. As the massive creature rises to defend its domain, Chen Mobai prepares to unleash his full power to settle their long-standing conflict.

With a thunderous roar, the colossal dragon tail swept across the firmament like a jagged bolt of lightning. It struck nothing but empty air, eventually slamming into the surface of the Mysterious Sea and whipping up massive, towering waves.

Surging from the ocean’s depths, the ancient flood dragon revealed its black, gold-flecked form. A cerulean Treasure Bead hovered gracefully above its majestic head, while its golden pupils locked onto Chen Mobai, who had somehow positioned himself upon the shoulder of his Yi Yuan Avatar.

"Where are the rest of you juniors? Reveal yourselves. Better that I finish all of you off today at once."

To the old flood dragon, it was simply impossible for Chen Mobai to present a genuine threat alone. It naturally deduced that the Deity Transformation cultivators from the Eastern Continent had banded together, likely with as many as five arriving in unison.

"To deal with you, I am more than enough on my own."

Chen Mobai responded with a faint smile. As his Divine Sense guided the process, the chromatic lightning within the overcast sky began to pulse, descending toward the Mysterious Sea as he mimicked the aura of the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder.

"Hmph, it must be that Da Kong is employing some Void Secret Technique to mask your allies. Very well, I shall slay you first, then handle the others at my leisure."

Unconvinced, the old flood dragon triggered the full might of its Sea Suppressing Bead to envelop its body in a defensive mantle. Ignoring any potential traps laid by the Eastern Continent’s experts, it prepared to shatter the opposition through sheer force.

A small frown creased Chen Mobai’s forehead.

Based on their history, the ancient beast favored overwhelming its foes with brute power. It typically used the Sea Suppressing Bead to smash enemies, leveraging the artifact's status as a pinnacle tool of the Six Realms to suppress and repel even the Primordial Clock, flaunting its supremacy.

Yet, because it feared the Dustless True Monarch and others might be lurking in the shadows to strike, the creature refused to let the Sea Suppressing Bead stray even an inch from its body.

Consequently, even if Chen Mobai invoked his Law Domain now, he still had to navigate the formidable obstacle of that bead.

Nonetheless, Chen Mobai had anticipated this development. He remained confident that his Law Domain, empowered by the Sixth Rank Superior Grade Primordial Clock, could successfully suppress the old flood dragon, even without the assistance of the Mysterious Sea’s inherent pressure.

With that resolve, Chen Mobai ceased his hesitation. Massive, surging Divine Sense burst forth, and the illusory threat of the Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder transformed into a vast net of multicolored light. Interwoven with beams of Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light, this assault rained down upon the flood dragon as it breached the water’s surface.

"Hmph, a mere flicker of light!"

Facing two profound techniques capable of obliterating a standard Fifth Rank True Spirit, the old flood dragon scoffed. The cerulean Treasure Bead above its crown flared with brilliance, and the roiling Mysterious Sea responded by manifesting tens of thousands of watery screens to shield its master.

The Great Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Light struck first, slicing through the defensive curtains and converting the Water Elemental Power into Five Element Spiritual Energy, absorbing it as its own.

However, the sheer density of the water screens proved too much. Despite the relentless cutting and conversion, the light only managed to pierce through a third of the defenses.

Rumble!

Wearied by the vast, pure Water Element True Power of the beast, the following Primordial Five Elements Extinguishing Divine Thunder finally collided with the transparent barriers, detonating with earth-shattering intensity.

The resulting shockwaves caused the Dragon Palace anchored at the Sea Eye to tremble. The young flood dragon, having finally recovered from its previous wounds, had intended to lead thousands of its kin to assist its father. Yet, upon feeling the cataclysmic energy of the collision, it faltered.

Suspecting that the Dustless True Monarch and other Eastern Continent Deity Transformations were waiting in the shadows to snatch an easy target like itself, the youngster chose caution. It retreated into the depths of the Dragon Palace, deciding to offer vocal support from the safety of home.

"With the Sea Suppressing Bead in hand and our position above the Mysterious Sea Eye, even a Nascent Soul Cultivator would find themselves at a stalemate. I shall simply await the good news from within the palace walls."

Resigned to this plan, the young flood dragon relaxed, returning to its inner sanctum while keeping a watchful eye on the skirmish through its Divine Sense.

Chen Mobai and the old flood dragon were intimately familiar with each other's combat styles. Following several exchanges, the Yi Yuan Avatar manifested the power of the upgraded Primordial Clock, narrowly deflecting the dragon's overwhelming assault.

"So, your clock has evolved, has it? No wonder you dared to come and court death at my Dragon Palace."

The climax of the exchange revealed to the old flood dragon that the Yi Yuan Avatar’s artifact had not only transformed in appearance but had grown significantly in raw strength.

If they were anywhere other than atop the Mysterious Sea, the Sea Suppressing Bead might have struggled to keep the clock in check.

Reflecting on this, the old flood dragon felt relieved by Chen Mobai’s apparent arrogance. Had this hidden strength stayed concealed until they were near the shore, the enemy might have potentially combined forces with the Xuanji Instrument above to mount a fatal ambush.

"I have never engaged in a battle I wasn't prepared for throughout my entire life. My arrival here today marks your final chapter."

Chen Mobai hammered away with verbal barbs while the dark clouds in the sky, after multiple clashes, quietly descended upon the surface of the sea. They drifted like mist over the waves, crackling with flickers of multicolor lightning.

"Hmph, you attempt to weave formations in the void, yet against the Sea Suppressing Bead, you cannot hope to break even a scale of my hide."

The old flood dragon noted the behavior of the clouds, yet its confidence remained unshaken as it kept the Treasure Bead aloft. Though it realized its own Divine Sense and clarity were being obscured, it merely assumed the foe was setting the stage for a sneak attack by the hidden Eastern Continent Deity Transformations.

"I hope you can maintain that level of confidence for a while longer."
