Just as the old patriarch forced me to my death, I achieved the unity of Dao and fruition.

On the open sea.

A black figure tore through space at incredible speed.

One moment they were thousands of miles away, and the next they were already in the sky above the sea where Gu Changjin was.

Tuntian stood with his hands behind his back, his black clothes fluttering in the wind. His golden dragon eyes pierced through layers of seawater and locked onto the rich dragon aura deep in the trench almost without hesitation.

As a 990,000-year-old spirit beast, it is only one step away from becoming a million-year-old divine beast.

Within the human race's spiritual master system, this is equivalent to a level 99 Martial Spirit, already standing at the true pinnacle of the Martial Spirit Continent.

As long as the gods do not descend to the mortal realm, Devouring Heaven will be among the strongest beings in the world.

He also possesses the bloodline of the Star-Devouring Black Dragon, and is revered as the God of Spirit Beasts by countless spirit beasts across the continent.

Ordinary spirit beasts that are 100,000 years old will instinctively lower their heads upon merely sensing his aura.

But today, things seem a little different.

As soon as Tuntian stepped into this sea area, four powerful auras erupted simultaneously from the seabed.

The sea surface exploded, waves splashed everywhere, and a deep-sea demon shark, hundreds of feet long, charged out first, opening its huge mouth. The surrounding seawater instantly turned into a pitch-black vortex, swallowing the giant shark.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of purple tentacles emerged from the seabed, each as thick as a mountain peak and covered with ferocious suckers, sealing off the space around Devourer.

The Ice-Armored Tortoise surfaced, its massive shell radiating a chilling blue light, freezing the seawater within a hundred miles almost instantly.

Finally, the two-headed emerald-scaled sea serpent spewed out emerald-green poisonous mist and deep blue cold currents from its left and right sides.

Four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts! A powerful alliance!!

A hint of surprise flashed in Devouring Heaven's eyes.

"Sea creatures and spirit beasts? How dare you attack me?"

He is a spirit beast god.

Over the years, the spirit beast race has declined.

Whether on land or at sea, any high-level spirit beast with even a little intelligence would treat him with utmost respect.

Unexpectedly, today, four sea creature spirit beasts that have just broken through the 100,000-year mark actually dared to attack him.

After the initial shock, Di Tian's eyes instantly turned cold.

"presumptuous!"

A dragon's roar echoed throughout the sea.

A terrifying pressure erupted from his body.

The vortex formed by the deep-sea shark shattered on the spot.

The frozen sea surface, stretching for hundreds of miles, was also shaken open with countless cracks.

Devouring Heaven raised its hand and waved, and a black dragon claw appeared out of thin air, colliding fiercely with the dozens of tentacles of the purple-patterned giant octopus.

boom!

Large areas of the sea collapsed.

The giant purple-patterned octopus flew backward, and more than ten tentacles exploded simultaneously.

But there was no fear in its eyes; after being injured, it charged back even more fiercely.

The same applies to the other three 100,000-year-old spirit beasts.

They did not back down, they did not hesitate, and they did not even care about death.

Their true spirits have already been absorbed into the Ten Thousand Demons Sect. Even if this body is shattered, it will only lose some cultivation.

As long as the true spirit remains, it can be resurrected.

Moreover, opportunities to perform well in front of one's master are not always available.

The four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts joined forces once again.

The deep-sea shark rammed head-on, and the ice-armored turtle took the hit.

The giant purple-patterned octopus sealed off the surroundings, while the two-headed, azure-scaled sea serpent constantly sought opportunities to attack Devouring Heaven with poisonous mist and cold currents.

Their teamwork wasn't perfect, but they had a wealth of combat experience.

For a time, they managed to hold off Devouring Heaven.

The more he fought, the more uneasy he felt.

The four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts had only recently broken through, and their power was clearly not yet fully stable.

Logically speaking, he should be able to suppress it easily.

However, some of the fighting methods they use are completely unlike those of ordinary sea creatures.

Especially their fearless fighting style, as if they have no idea what death is.

"interesting."

The anger in Tuntian's eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression.

He hadn't used much power initially, but since these four sea creatures were courting death, he would let them know what a beast god was.

The next instant, Devourer's figure vanished.

A colossal black dragon, blotting out the sky, suddenly appeared above the sea.

The enormous dragon's body pressed down on the clouds, each scale shimmering with a deep black light.

The golden dragon's eyes surveyed the sea, releasing the aura of a ferocious beast that had existed for ninety-nine thousand years without reservation.

The entire ocean trembled, and the bodies of the four 100,000-year-old spirit beasts visibly stiffened for a moment.

The vast difference in their bloodline levels instilled fear in them instinctively.

However, the True Spirit Mark within the Ten Thousand Demons Sect trembled slightly, and that fear was forcibly suppressed.

The four spirit beasts roared and charged forward once again.

The Heaven-Devouring Dragon Claw slammed down.

boom!

The massive body of the deep-sea shark was slammed into the seabed, with half of its head caved in.

With a sweep of its tail, the giant purple-patterned octopus and the two-headed, azure-scaled sea serpent were both sent flying thousands of feet backward.

With the final dragon roar, dark power condensed into chains, suppressing the Ice Armored Tortoise along with the other three spirit beasts onto the sea surface.

From the moment a fight begins to the moment it is completely over, only a few breaths pass.

Devouring Heaven transformed back into human form, looking at the four suppressed 100,000-year-old spirit beasts, his brows furrowing slightly.

Although the other party attacked them first, the life of the spirit beast clan has become increasingly difficult over the years.

Each additional 100,000-year-old spirit beast represents an extremely precious source of power.

In the end, Tuntian did not kill him.

"I'll spare your lives for now."

Dark chains held the four spirit beasts firmly in place.

Then, Tuntian took a step forward, his body disappearing directly into the seawater.

He wanted to see what it was that could make four 100,000-year-old sea creatures risk their lives to protect it.

The seawater automatically parted to both sides, and Devouring Sky sank rapidly along with that dragon-like aura.

The closer you get to the trench.

The surprise in his eyes deepened.

It was the might of a dragon, and the might of a truly pure dragon.

Within that aura, two forces that should have been in conflict were intertwined.

It swallowed the sky and fell into the deepest part of the trench.

The next moment, he stopped in his tracks.

Ahead, on the seabed, lies a huge dragon egg.

It was a hundred feet tall, and the surface of the dragon egg seemed to be carved from red jade and glass, crystal clear.

Crimson gold fire patterns intertwined with aquamarine patterns.

The flames burned, but the surrounding seawater did not evaporate.

The water flowed, yet it did not extinguish the flames.

Water and fire coexist, and may even subtly harmonize.

The golden pupils of the Devouring Heaven continued to contract.

"What kind of bloodline is this?"

He lived among the dragons for countless years.

They naturally knew the power of the nine Dragon Kings.

The Fire Dragon King controls the ultimate flames, while the Water Dragon King controls the vast waters.

Even these two dragon kings could not make water and fire blend together so perfectly.

Unless... this dragon egg in front of us inherits the bloodlines of both the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.

Images flashed through Tuntian's mind.

After the great war in the divine realm, almost all of the nine dragon kings perished.

The remains of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King transformed into that desolate place where ice and fire meet.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for any bloodline to still exist.

But how can we explain this scene before us?

Could it be that there were still powerful dragons who survived the great war of the gods that I didn't know about?

The consciousness of swallowing the world took a step forward.

Just then, the seawater around the dragon egg suddenly stopped.

The rules of the entire trench were completely altered in that instant.

The water stopped flowing, the flames stopped leaping, and even the power within the Devouring Heaven seemed to have lost its original operating rules, momentarily freezing.

Devouring Heaven's body suddenly stiffened, and for the first time, an expression of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

rule!

This is a power that only gods or true divine beasts can wield.

However, ever since the ancient dragon lord launched a war against the divine realm, the divine realm has sealed off the path for spirit beasts to become gods.

How could the being inside this dragon egg possibly possess god-level rules?

Inside the dragon egg, Gu Changjin recognized the person who had come.

The spirit beast, Shen Tuntian, has reached the cultivation level of a ferocious beast with 990,000 years of history.

One of the key figures in the great battle three months from now.

Looking at the shocked expression on Tuntian's face.

Gu Changjin suddenly felt a bit playful.

The power of the boundary seed flowed gently.

A genuine… voice resounded directly within the Devouring Heaven's Sea of ​​Consciousness.

"You still dare to come see me?"

Devouring Heaven's mind was suddenly jolted.

The sound, the power of the rules, and that lofty, domineering aura, as if born to rule over all dragons.

A thought he had never dared to truly believe suddenly rushed into his mind.

Devouring Heaven stared blankly at the crimson jade dragon egg, his voice trembling slightly.

"Dragon Lord...you're not dead?"

Inside the dragon egg, Gu Changjin almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

That's so interesting.

The power of the boundary seed was quickly withdrawn, and the previously solidified rules returned to normal.

Devouring Heaven also instantly sensed that something was wrong.

Click!

The first crack appeared on the surface of the dragon egg, and then the crack spread rapidly.

boom!

Crimson gold light and aquamarine radiance erupted simultaneously.

A true dragon, as red as jade and glass, burst out of the egg.

When it first appeared, it was only a hundred feet long, but as the Daoist Yuan was continuously poured in, the dragon's body swelled up in the wind.

Three hundred zhang... five hundred zhang... one thousand zhang!

A colossal dragon coiled in the trench, its crimson jade scales radiating a scorching glow.

The surrounding seawater swirled slowly around the dragon's body as if in worship.

Gu Changjin's spirit beast age also increased rapidly within just ten breaths.

One hundred thousand years!! Three hundred thousand years!! Five hundred thousand years! Finally, it directly entered the ferocious beast level, reaching nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand years!!

An aura nearly identical to that of the Devouring Heaven suddenly spread out.

Tuntian was stunned for a moment, and after carefully sensing, his face gradually darkened.

It possesses no true divine power, nor the aura of an ancient dragon lord.

The creature before them was clearly a strange true dragon that had just entered the 990,000-year level!

He'd been tricked!

"Damn it! How dare you mock me, the god!"
