Daqin Zhentiansi

Chapter 666 Zhang Qingyang, is he going to make the capital city boil over?

The dark clouds shattered at the top of the bronze pillar, unleashing the ninth thunderbolt, and 36,000 sea-suppressing pillars simultaneously lit up the boundless sea.

The base, cast from extraterrestrial meteorite iron, crushed the rock layers, while the runes, forged from Shoushan red copper, cleaved the ocean tides into stardust.

The nine-zhang-diameter dragon-locking chain pierced through the eight-thousand-mile-long vortex and reached the earth's core, causing the entire East Sea water vein to boil like soup in an instant!

"Om-"

The light of the Big Dipper, falling from the depths of the sky, turned the seawater a pale blue color, and the sleeping Xuan Whale King, hundreds of thousands of miles away, suddenly swung its tail.

The giant banyan tree growing on its back snapped in half, and forty thousand blood lice parasitizing its scales turned to ashes in the bronze flames.

The remnants of dragon bones devoured by the ten generations of Xuanjing ancestors tumbled and broke apart, condensing into twelve dragon pagodas under the pressure of the Sea-Suppressing Pillar!

Suddenly, a hundred-foot-high turbid wave rose in the northern border of the Boundless Sea, and thirteen ancient demon clan ruins collapsed with a roar.

The blue-faced, fanged sea patrol yaksha had just grasped the rusty steel fork when its entire demonic body suddenly disintegrated into an hourglass made of fish bones and coral.

Thirty-six thousand fragments of demon cores transformed into a purple meteor shower, forming the ancient seal script character "镇" (zhen, meaning "suppress") in the night sky.

Three thousand miles away, from the depths of the rift abyss, a skeletal claw of death emerged, and the demonic Kun, which had not appeared in the world for millions of years, roared in fury.

"Roar--"

The island made of the skeletons of the demonic Kun collapsed with a roar, forcing the shadow fleet hiding within to reveal itself.

The bronze pillar stirred up a stellar tide, shredding the seven warships into a shower of iron slag.

Before his annihilation, a one-eyed pirate leader crushed a jade talisman, and the distinctive wave tattoo on his arm condensed into a half-teleportation array phantom amidst the malevolent energy.

"Beyond the Zhao Continent, beyond the Nine Continents?"

“Record spatial coordinates.”

Zhang Yuan pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, and the vibrations of the Autumn Chill Blade and the Dragon Sparrow Blade matched the frequency of the Sea-Suppressing Pillar.

"The Black Ice Platform has long kept records of the infiltration of foreign forces into the Boundless Sea," Luo Hongxiu said in a low voice.

Enemies from outside the territory.

The Immortal Island guards the Boundless Sea, yet it cannot seal off all the dark passages.

Suddenly, a giant bronze coffin emerged from the seabed, its lid covered with six ancient seal characters that read "Zhenhai Weishu Jiangchu" (meaning "Guarding the Sea and Garrisoning the Frontier"), which were soaked in demon blood.

"boom--"

A strange, turbid yellow churned up in the deep sea, and the sleeping Xuanqiong Demon Lord suddenly opened his twelve pairs of crimson eyes.

The earth vein chains binding its body snapped inch by inch, and the inky demon blood seeping from beneath its scales stained the seven thousand vortexes. The life-bound demon cores of the three great demons of the Free and Unfettered Realm exploded simultaneously.

"Click!"

From the depths of the rift came the crisp sound of chains snapping, and the twelve pairs of crimson eyes of the Xuanqiong Demon Lord lit up one by one on the seabed.

What gushed out from where its scales had peeled off was not blood, but the war spirits of various races that had been devoured for hundreds of thousands of years!

A fragmented dragon soul, carrying a bronze pillar of starlight, soared into the sky and condensed in the clouds into the phantom of Qingyang Marquis slaying the dragon with three strikes, causing millions of sea monsters to tremble collectively.

"Qin people..."

The low growls gradually subsided.

Standing before the Zhenhai Pillar, Zhang Yuan placed his hand on his long sword and let out a low shout.

"Start the formation."

One by one, the spirit array masters and spirit array wielders were enveloped in azure light, drawing upon...

The bronze chains on the Zhenhai Copper Pillar vibrated.

The inscription "Yu Zhen Jiu Chuan" on the surface of the chain link is slowly transforming into "Shan He Yong Zhen".

The moment the other end of the chain sank into the sea, the demonic patterns on the armor of the 50,000 new soldiers flowed backward, turning into a stream of crimson blood that flowed into the Sea-Suppressing Pillar.

Using the life force of the Qin army as a catalyst, the God-Slaying Array is restarted!

"Zheng——"

The Nine Yang Sword Sect's 100,000 flying swords automatically formed an array.

The sword light merged with the flowing light on the bronze pillar, shaking the heavens.

Amidst the rising starlight between the sea and sky, Zhang Yuan, hands on his twin swords, strode forward until he reached the Pillar of Sea Suppression.

"Zhang Yuan, Marquis of Qingyang of the Great Qin, requests the activation of the Zhenhai Formation to directly reach the Xianliang Imperial City."

As the voice faded, golden light shone down, and a magnificent gate, ten thousand feet tall, appeared. Zhang Yuan waved his hand, and six enormous black tortoises, each a hundred feet in diameter, carrying six bronze pillars, slowly stepped into the gate.

Originally, there were eighteen Yuwang Zhenhai Pillars on Zhenhai Island. Now, twelve of the repaired pillars have activated the power of the Boundless Sea Zhenhai Array, while the remaining six have been sent to the Qin Imperial City via a teleportation array.

The black tortoise, carrying the giant pillar, disappeared into the courtyard, and the surging light of the sea-suppressing formation on the boundless ocean slowly subsided.

The 36,000 pillars that once guarded the sea may have sunk to the bottom of the ocean or been sealed off within islands...

----------------

The Eastern Wei court.

The dragon relief entwined on the purple-gold coiled dragon pillar suddenly trembled, and shattered jade fragments rained down like a storm.

Yuwen Tuo slammed the half of the Imperial Seal of the State down the steps, the glaring cracks spreading like a spiderweb across the blue bricks in front of the steps.

"You can't even stop twenty warships? What use are you bunch of useless trash to me?!"

Amidst the emperor's roar, the Zhenhai General, clad in black scale armor, staggered and knelt down, while dozens of courtiers prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to look directly at the enraged dragon shadow.

After the Blood River Demon Sect was destroyed, Yuwen Tuo became increasingly erratic, killing people at the drop of a hat.

His temperament is often ruthless and merciless.

In particular, with the Nine Yang Sword Sect establishing itself at Yinma Plain, many powerful figures from Yangtian Continent came to Eastern Wei, and Yuwen Tuo's methods became increasingly ruthless.

Officials in the court were all in a state of fear.

"I order you to assemble a large army and go to defeat—"

"boom--"

The lightning bolts that swept across the sky interrupted Yuwen Tuo's voice.

A blood-red setting sun suddenly stretched across the western sky, and twelve bronze pillars of light pierced through the clouds.

It wasn't just twelve bronze pillars of light; it was countless bronze lights exploding, reflecting streaks of blood across the heavens and earth.

The once calm East China Sea was now engulfed in raging waves that shattered the shore rocks. Hundreds of nine-headed black dragon phantoms emerged from the clouds, hissing as they went. Simultaneously, blood-red beacon fires lit up in sixteen coastal cities in the southern border of the Great Wei.

Moss-like demonic patterns appeared on the surface of the jade steps of the main hall, and the Nine Dragons Protecting the Nation Array, blessed by successive Wei emperors, stirred up golden light under the influence of the great demonic aura.

Even though they are thousands of miles apart, the demonic aura in the East China Sea can change the color of the sky and earth in the capital of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

"Report——"

The palace doors were flung open by a fierce gust of wind, and Wang Yannian, the Vice Minister of the Imperial Observatory, practically tumbled and crawled into the hall, seven cracks appearing on the bronze armillary sphere in his hand: "The East Sea... the demonic aura of the East Sea is shrouding the sky..."

"What's going on?" Yuwen Tuo's face tightened, and his fists clenched.

The Vice Minister of the Imperial Observatory whispered, "It's suspected, it's suspected that the sea monsters in the East China Sea have rioted, and the ancient sea-suppressing pillar has reappeared!"

The communication jade talisman in Yang Tianzhou's hand flickered erratically, and for the first time, fear appeared on his previously composed face: "Rumor has it that there is a sea-suppressing formation in the Boundless Sea, sealing off the outer realms... this, this—"

"Your Majesty," Zhang Mengde, the Prime Minister of Wei, said, his official robes soaked with cold sweat, his withered fingers gripping the seam of his ceremonial tablet tightly, "The records of Wei state that the boundless sea monsters caused chaos, once stirring up waves hundreds of feet high, and overturning thirty thousand miles of sea territory..."

"Roar!"

The words were interrupted by three roars from the Xuan Turtle that seemed to pierce gold and split rocks.

Six towering, dark-armored phantoms, resembling mountain ranges, broke through the sea and rose into the sky, while the bronze chains wrapped around the limbs of the Xuan Turtle pulled the Sea-Suppressing Pillar soaring into the heavens.

The waters of the East China Sea flowed along with the star-like patterns on the surface of the tortoise shell, eventually condensing in mid-air into the four ancient seal characters "Yu Zhen Jiu Chuan" (禹镇九川), covering thousands of miles!
The first pillar of the sea-suppressing formation has already spanned seven thousand miles of territory. The moment the bronze flames pierced through the clouds, the 100,000 people of Lin Yuan City in the southern border simultaneously looked up.

The Yin Fu Sect cultivators, who were drawing runes with demon blood, were horrified to discover that the Soul-Devouring Sea Ants, which had been dormant for thousands of years in the cracks of the city wall bricks, had melted into amber in the bronze starlight.

"The black tortoise carries the pillar on its back and goes straight into the Qin territory."

On the city wall of Yuncang City, Wu Daoling, the Nine Yang Sword Immortal, looked up, his eyes shining with endless divine light.

"Lord Qingyang, just what kind of storm are you going to stir up in the East Sea...?"

300,000 li downstream from the banks of the Yuncang River, every 10,000 li, a pillar of light rises into the sky.

The beam of light led directly to the Qin Imperial City.

The six-headed Xuan Turtle, carrying the bronze pillar that calms the sea, travels thousands of miles through the pillar of light.

Above the great cities, one can see the phantom of a black tortoise carrying a bronze pillar on its back, slowly floating forward.

"Zhang Qingyang, is he trying to make the capital city boil over...?"

At the Eastern Frontier Camp, Duke Han Qi of Ningguo looked up at the slowly dissipating phantom and spoke in a low voice.
