Chapter 1834: Absolute Desperation and Vast Waves (7)

In the Southern Divine Region, the Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm's overall strength is second only to the Southern Sea Divine Realm. However, in terms of defensive barriers, the Deep Sea Barrier is arguably the strongest in the Southern Region.

The Deep Sea Divine Power is not a water-element profound energy. Instead, it was comprehended and evolved by the ancient Deep Sea Divine Race from the vast ocean's waves. When unleashed, it can flow and transform like water in myriad ways, and the Deep Sea Barrier, forged from this ultimate divine power, behaves similarly. Its greatest strength lies in the fact that no matter which part of the barrier is attacked, the Deep Sea Divine Power instantly circulates throughout the entire barrier. Therefore, it is almost impossible to break it by focusing on a single point.

Boom!Boom!!Boom!!!

In every instant, it felt as if billions of bolts of heavenly lightning were raining down, and the Deep Sea lands outside the Deep Sea Divine Realm rapidly shattered and collapsed. The Deep Sea Barrier continuously deformed and dented amidst flashing blue light.

The ultimate barrier of a King Realm is undoubtedly powerful. Although the barrier currently possessed only thirty percent of its full strength, even the Southern Sea Divine Realm at its peak would require at least one or two days to forcefully breach it. However, with hundreds of Divine Masters attacking simultaneously... no matter how strong a barrier, it couldn't hold out for too long. It was likely that no barrier in the history of the God Realm had ever endured such a "privilege."

"Hahahahaha!!" The earth-shattering roar and spatial tremors could not drown out Cang Shitian's wild laughter: "The Dragon Sovereigns of the Dragon God Realm are all renowned, yet this is all the ability you possess? Swarming together, you can't even make a single crack in this Deep Sea Barrier."

"My Lords Dragon Gods, it would be better if you obediently made your move. With such a grand display, if you can't take down this Deep Sea Barrier within half a day, where will the Dragon God Realm put its old face?"

Cang Shitian's demeanor had shifted from initial struggle, to hesitation, to deference, to confrontation... and at this moment, it was direct, impudent, and insulting provocation. It was as if a switch within him had gradually been flipped, completely unleashing a madman.

The Sea Gods were already numb with shock. In reality, as those most familiar with Cang Shitian in the Deep Sea Realm, they clearly knew: when he acted abnormally, that was when he was most himself. His usual imperial demeanor was merely suppressing his true nature. Moreover, Cang Shitian was by no means simply indulging in madness; his provocation of the Seven Dragon Gods actually held a hidden purpose... by acting this way, he made it impossible for the Seven Dragon Gods to intervene, let alone Dragon Monarch and the Venerable Blighted Dragon.

"Oh, what a rabid dog that has lost its mind," the Violet Liquescent Dragon God sneered, curling her lip.

Faced with such a highly insulting taunt, Cang Shitian showed no anger. Instead, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth stretched into a wide, wild grin: "Rabid dog? What a great title! It's practically a mad name born just for me!"

With a "whoosh," he spun around and let out a strange roar: "Listen! From this moment forth, I shall be the Mad Dog of the Devil Master! When the Devil Master covers the world in darkness in the future, I will be the first to bite to death anyone who dares to defy him!!"

The Divine Emperor's voice, overriding the enormous roar of the fiercely assaulted Deep Sea Barrier, announced to the Northern Region Devil Race, to the Western Region Profound Practitioners, and even to the entire Ten Directions Deep Sea Realm... his gaze fervent, his expression crazed, as if he were inheriting some supreme glory. This time, not to mention the Western Divine Region, even Yan Tianxiao and Fen Daoqi looked at Cang Shitian with expressions that suggested they were seeing a monster. Could this actually be... a Southern Region Divine Emperor?!

"Of course," he glanced sideways, then actually extended his tongue and slowly licked his lower lip, his gaze emanating a ferocity truly like that of a vicious dog: "Today, 'the Devil Master's Mad Dog' will use these Deep Sea fangs to twist off the heads of a bunch of stupid dragons first!"

"Heh, what a pity your rabid dog will soon turn into a dead dog! How pathetic." The Imperial Azure Dragon projected disdain from his eyes, feeling even more disgraced for being a Divine Emperor like Cang Shitian. With a wave of his arm, he said in a deep voice, "Attack!"

At his command, a multitude of Divine Master Azure Dragons from the Imperial Azure Dragon Realm surged forward, directly bombarding the Deep Sea Barrier. The Imperial Serpent Dragon and the Myriad Manifestations Divine Emperor also issued commands, and the Divine Master Serpent Dragons and Divine Masters from the Myriad Manifestations Realm all joined the attack.

"Go," the Qilin Emperor raised his hand, simultaneously gesturing to the Azure Dragon Emperor with his eyes. He knew very well that the Azure Dragon Emperor did not want to be here at all; she disliked any conflict and certainly did not want to attack Yun Che. The Azure Dragon Emperor waved her hand, and roars of dragons, carrying blue light, directly struck the Deep Sea Barrier.

As the power of the Five King Realms surged forth, nearly thirty percent of the Deep Sea lands were instantly shattered, and dozens of extremely large depressions appeared in the Deep Sea Barrier, which could not recover for a long time. The shimmering Deep Sea blue light also became chaotic.

From behind, Chi Wuyao sighed softly, "Cang Shitian is truly enjoying himself. At this rate, even if it leads to his death, I imagine he'd accept it."

Boom—Boom!!

Qianye Ying'er looked up at the sky and said, "This barrier likely won't last much longer. What do you plan to do next?"

Chi Wuyao turned, her gaze suddenly fixed on Qianye Ying'er, no longer looking away.

Qianye Ying'er: "...?"

"Qianying, the method I used to make the people of the Northern Divine Region willing to fight to the death for Yun Che, and to make Cang Shitian willing to be a mad dog, is actually the same. What do you think it is?" Chi Wuyao asked.

"...Just tell me," Qianye Ying'er said. "In such a pressing situation, I have no time to ponder."

"Guiding and amplifying the desires deep within their hearts," Chi Wuyao stated the answer, then added, "So, what do you think is Dragon Monarch's greatest desire right now?"

On this point, Qianye Ying'er did not need to think, answering directly, "Yun Che, of course."

"Exactly. But more precisely, it's the desire to torment Yun Che," Chi Wuyao slowly said. "Despite having an absolute advantage in power, Dragon Monarch didn't hesitate to deploy the Universe Dragon City and the Venerable Blighted Dragon. His purpose is to make Yun Che suffer a miserable defeat and fall into despair, in the most supreme and crushing manner possible... to make Yun Che appear utterly powerless and pathetic before him, ideally exposing his ugliness and making him beg for mercy."

"Only then can he, to the greatest extent, balance and vent his jealousy and hatred towards Yun Che."

"In that case, we can use this point to seize a small opportunity."

"..." Qianye Ying'er pondered.

"When the barrier is about to break, I will confront Dragon Monarch. How much you can comprehend and learn at that time will be up to you."

Qianye Ying'er looked up, her gaze unusual: "This is strange. You usually hide and conceal things, but at such a critical moment, you come to teach me? Isn't it a bit too late?"

Chi Wuyao, however, smiled faintly: "Teach? So, you wish for me to teach you?"

"Yes," Qianye Ying'er actually admitted directly: "It's laughable, but when I was still the Brahma Monarch Goddess, I once believed my schemes were peerless, and that no one could escape my grasp when I intended to plot against or acquire something."

"Later, when Qianye Fantian crippled my Brahma Soul, I realized how childishly ridiculous I was in front of a true old fox. My entire life was controlled and toyed with by him, yet I remained arrogantly complacent... Hah."

"The so-called cunning schemes I once prided myself on were merely because I had the Brahma Monarch God Realm to rely on."

"But you, you are a 'Dark Vixen' who can make even Qianye Fantian fear... In terms of schemes, I admit I am far inferior to you. And frankly, when you are nearby, no matter the situation, you give a sense of security. I believe Yun Che feels the same way."

Qianye Ying'er, who had always outwardly maintained hostility towards Chi Wuyao, rarely revealed her true feelings in such a desperate situation.

The smile on Chi Wuyao's face deepened slightly. She sighed softly, "To hear such words from someone with your strong pride, I am quite honored. And you needn't belittle yourself so much; you are simply too young, and your life before five years ago was too smooth. If you had my age and experience, you would only surpass me."

"So?" Qianye Ying'er asked, "Why are you suddenly teaching me how to play schemes now?"

Taking her gaze from Qianye Ying'er, Chi Wuyao turned and looked at the blue barrier, which could collapse at any moment, and said in a low voice, "I hope you can survive."

Qianye Ying'er: "??"

"If, in the end, we achieve a miracle and Yun Che emerges from the Eternal Heaven Pearl in time, you must, at all costs, take him and flee... do not look back."

"And if the outcome is bad, for instance, if Yun Che and the Eternal Heaven Pearl fall into Dragon Monarch's hands, you must flee even more... because with Dragon Monarch's hatred for Yun Che, he will likely be unwilling to kill Yun Che immediately. And you are the last shred of hope, because I know that as long as you live for another day, you will stop at nothing to save him."

"If possible, I would prefer you escape now. But I know you won't."

Qianye Ying'er frowned, asking in a low voice, "You want me to escape so much... what about you?"

Chi Wuyao's chest rose and fell, her voice soft and slow: "I was born in the Northern Divine Region, a devil growing in darkness, further blessed by darkness, carrying a devil soul inherited from an ancient Devil Emperor."

"Leading the Northern Region profound practitioners to overturn their fate is my wish, and also the mission I bore when I received the Nirvana Devil Soul. However, today I did not lead them to retreat; instead, I guided these Northern Region people... the very lifeblood of the Northern Region, to defend to the death."

"If they die, the hope of the Northern Region will be extinguished forever." Chi Wuyao closed her eyes: "For this sin alone, I have no face to live on; I can only be buried with them."

"..." Qianye Ying'er abruptly took a step forward, her golden eyes trembling, yet she couldn't utter a word.

"Don't worry, before I die, I will ensure your escape..." After a slight pause, she whispered very softly, "Absolutely."

Just as Qianye Ying'er was about to speak, a massive sound suddenly came from ahead.

"Crack!!"

Unlike the previous earth-shattering roars, this time it was an incredibly terrifying tearing sound. A white scar exploded on the Deep Sea Barrier and spread rapidly. At a glance, it looked as if the sky had been violently torn apart. The appearance of the crack signified the imminent collapse of the Deep Sea Barrier. This Southern Region's strongest barrier, operating at thirty percent of its power, had barely resisted for three-quarters of an hour under the terrifying impact of hundreds of Divine Masters' combined might.

At this moment, the Myriad Manifestations Divine Emperor and the Imperial Serpent Dragon exchanged glances, then suddenly struck simultaneously, their two streams of Divine Emperor power directly bombarding the already precarious Deep Sea Barrier.

"Shatter!" the two Divine Emperors roared.

Chi Wuyao's figure flashed swiftly: "Yan One! Yan Three!"

Rip!!

Two black figures tore through space, streaking across the sky. Two streams of ultimate Yama Devil power struck the Deep Sea Barrier from within, colliding fiercely with the powers of the Myriad Manifestations Divine Emperor and the Imperial Serpent Dragon across the barrier.

Boom!!

Black mist permeated, and malevolent aura filled the sky. The Deep Sea Barrier, enduring immense force, bent violently like thin paper. Outside the barrier, the two Western Region Divine Emperors simultaneously grunted, were thrown far back, and when they stabilized themselves, their arms ached severely from numbness.

Everyone turned their heads in astonishment, looking at the two terrifying black figures within the barrier.

"Two of the Three Yama Ancestors, hidden beneath the Eternal Darkness Bone Sea of the Yama Devil Realm in the Northern Divine Region," Dragon Monarch said indifferently. "The three of them are probably the pinnacle of dark profound energy."

"...So that's it," Dragon Three murmured.

"The one on the right is no weaker than us," Dragon Five said.

"They are devil spawn in the end; let's eliminate them all," Dragon Four said.

At this moment, a voice that was alluring to the bone and stirred the soul drifted from afar: "As expected of the Dragon God Realm; you are clearly aware of the Northern Divine Region's greatest secrets."

Her voice ethereal, Chi Wuyao's figure had already streaked through the air, appearing before Yan One and Yan Three, directly facing Dragon Monarch.

"The Devil Queen!!" The Crimson Extinction Dragon God's draconic pupils widened, and the knuckles of his tightly clenched hands cracked. What he found most unacceptable was that when facing Chi Wuyao, besides resentment... a trace of cold fear emerged within him, which he could not dispel no matter how hard he tried. It was as if that terrifying devil soul had never truly left his dragon soul.

Facing the renowned Northern Region Devil Queen, Dragon Monarch merely glanced indifferently at her, his expression devoid of emotion, and said, "Has your so-called Devil Master Yun Che decided to be a coward?"

"Heh..." These words made Chi Wuyao let out a low laugh, her soft voice carrying strands of soul-piercing mockery: "You knew our Devil Master was absent, yet you launched a grand attack, and now you call our Devil Master a coward?"

"To think the majestic Sovereign of Chaos is such a hypocritical, despicable, and pretentious individual; truly disappointing."

"..." Dragon Monarch's eyes narrowed, each word weighty: "What... did... you... say?"

Chi Wuyao proudly declared: "Our Northern Region forces had gathered here for a long time, and at that time, you, Dragon Monarch, were not in the Dragon God Realm. That was originally the best opportunity for our clan to trample your Dragon God Realm."

"But the Devil Master commanded that winning in such an unchivalrous manner would disgrace the Northern Region's prestige! The battle with the Dragon God Realm must commence specifically after your return, Dragon Monarch. The Devil Master has emphasized more than once his desire for a head-on battle with you."

"Therefore, although the Devil Master utterly despises you, Dragon Monarch, during these past few months when you were not in the Dragon God Realm, our Northern Region Devil Race swept through the Eastern Divine Region and trampled the Southern Divine Region, yet we never took the opportunity to touch your Dragon God Realm in the slightest."

Dragon Monarch: "..."

"..." Yan Tianxiao and Fen Daoqi's eyes widened little by little.

"And you, Dragon Monarch..." Chi Wuyao's words dripped with sarcasm: "After knowing that our Devil Master was not in Deep Sea, to seize this opportunity, you didn't hesitate to deploy the Universe Dragon City, hidden for a million years, for a rapid descent... Oh my, I truly didn't expect you, Dragon Monarch, to be so terrified of our Devil Master; it's quite astonishing and utterly disappointing."

"However, it seems a direct battle between the Devil Master and you, Dragon Monarch, is no longer necessary. Because your cowardly actions and pretentious demeanor no longer make you worthy of being compared to our Devil Master!"
