Chapter 736: Chapter 698 Eternal Divine Guards_1

Confidence, audacity, and grandeur often rest upon the foundation of great strength.

Before either Dong Tianze or Wu Yuan ascended to the status of True God or even before they had solidified their realms within the True God Realm, they prudently chose to take shelter in the dense Foggy Sea.

They lived secluded lives, using warriors from the Alien Tribes that broke into the Outer Realm to temper their realms and hone their cultivation.

The reason for this was that in the eyes of outsiders, they were both considered demonic cultivators.

Not all True Gods were as tolerant and magnanimous as Pu Zhaotian; before they were strong enough, appearing in the outside world could easily lead to being prematurely extinguished by other True Gods.

All that was required was a reason for their cultivation of Evil Skills and Demon Tao Spells.

Now, however, things were different.

They too had become True Gods, had solidified their realms and cultivation within the Foggy Sea, and through battling strong figures from the Alien Tribes, they knew how to leverage their own power.

Having become True Gods, they were now the pinnacle of strength in this realm. Why should they continue to tread lightly?

Like them, if Human True Gods, the Alien Tribe’s most powerful in the Fifth Realm, or even the so-called Demon Gods dared attack them again, they would resolve it with a bloody battle!

"Swoosh!"

Guided by a Bee Insect, Dong Tianze was the first to step out of the Foggy Sea.

Within the depths of his brows, a long-hidden Phoenix Seal was reawakened with the Qi and Blood within his body.

The once resplendent and luxurious Phoenix Seal had now become a Blood Phoenix, entirely under his control, no longer able to shake or influence his self-awareness and intelligence.

In fact, after receiving the inheritance of the Blood God Skill, he could have completely erased the mark before creating a substantial Blood God.

Erasing the seal would have meant that his ties with Pang Lin would be severed, no longer being the so-called Heavenly Phoenix Guard.

Yet, he ultimately allowed the mark to remain.

The reason being, as long as the Heaven Phoenix Mark existed, upon leaving the Misty Sea where the Absolute Sky Forbidden Land was located, he could still establish a connection with Pang Lin, still able to heed the heart’s voice of the master he had served before.

"I will go to Pure Land to help you face that Old Thunder Dragon," Dong Tianze communicated through the Phoenix Seal.

"Brother Dong, that Old Dragon is a Demon God; you won’t be able to handle it. Stay away. What about my brother?" Pang Lin hastily asked.

"Brother Dong" made the blood in Dong Tianze’s eyes somewhat fade.

He let out a cold chuckle, arrogantly responding, "Don’t worry about your brother. The two of us can handle that Old Dragon!"

"You two? Who else is there?" Pang Lin exclaimed in surprise.

"And Wu Yuan!"

As he spoke, Dong Tianze saw a strand of Blue-black Demon Light pierce through the Foggy Sea and land before him, and said, "Wu Yuan and I are both True Gods. With the two of us entering Pure Land, that Old Dragon won’t have an easy time."

"Ah!" Pang Lin shrieked from the other side.

"I didn’t expect you to keep a Phoenix Seal capable of communication," Wu Yuan emerged from the Foggy Sea, glanced at the blood-colored Phoenix on Dong Tianze’s brow, and said, "With your power now, you’re no longer a Heavenly Phoenix Guard; keeping that seal is purely for responding to Pang Lin in the future, isn’t it?"

"She is Pang Jian’s sister. As long as that identity exists, I will forever be her guard," Dong Tianze tilted his head slightly and snorted, then added, "What about you? Why are you coming out?"

"I simply find that Old Dragon distasteful," Wu Yuan said expressionlessly.

"Actions speak louder than words," Dong Tianze sneered, pointing in the direction of the First Realm, "You go directly there. I’ll head to Qitian Continent and use the Sword Tower’s Teleportation Array."

His practice of the Blood God Skill wasn’t widely known.

Meanwhile, Wu Yuan was known as the "Demon Child" of the Demon Sect, and with the Demon Sect and the whole Fifth Realm forming alliances right now, it would not be easy for Wu Yuan to approach the Sword Tower.

"Alright, see you in Pure Land," Wu Yuan nodded, and the two split paths.

...

The First Realm.

Having dominated Purgatory for ten thousand years, the notorious Old Thunder Dragon suddenly appeared in this world, and instantly noticed that the protective barrier of Pure Land had been unexpectedly activated.

"Glass Cleansing World God Array."

With the true form of the Dragon Race, Long Xiao, who hovered in the mid-air of the First Realm, squinted his dragon eyes as he looked towards the Xi Rang Continent, the coldness in his gaze growing more intense by the moment.

He remembered the Poison Calamity initiated by Su Wenrou, the death of many young dragons, and the countless Demon Race warriors reduced to dry bones.

In the Holy Spirit Continent Outer Realm, Pang Jian had killed two ninth-level Old Dragons, yet the number of Demon Race that fell in the Poison Calamity spearheaded by Su Wenrou was as numerous as grains of sand.

It was also because of the outbreak of that Poison Calamity that many Demon Kings and Great Demons no longer trusted Him, questioning His ability to lead the Demon Race.

"Knowing full well that I alone have reigned supreme on this Thunder God’s Path for ten thousand years, that girl Su still dared to shelter the successor of Heaven Phoenix. It was she and Pure Land who first harbored malice towards me."

"Heaven Phoenix, specifically chose a successor with an innate Thunder Vortex, clearly targeting me."

"Are you blaming me for being ruthless when it was your own delusional hopes that came first?"

The evil thoughts within Long Xiao’s heart grew increasingly strong.

Initially intending to break through Heaven Forbidden and hastily leave Purgatory, He, instead, found His rage ignited by the sudden activation of the "Glass Cleansing World God Array."

Zhu Ji, Ghost Mother, and Li Wang were unaware at this moment that Pu Zhaotian and Su Wenrou had also fallen into the Fifth Realm, their lives and deaths unknown.

Before leaving Purgatory, destroying Pure Land’s "Glass Cleansing World God Array" with His own hands, giving Pure Land and Su Wenrou an unforgettable lesson, was not a difficult task for Him.

"This is personal vengeance."

Long Xiao convinced Himself, and with a twist of His elongated dragon body in the void, He transformed into a streak of cyan lightning, heading straight towards the Xi Rang Continent.

...

North Ruins, location of the Ancient Law Sect.

"No! Long Xiao is heading towards West Soil, He intends to make a move against Pure Land!"

Dong Shangqing summoned the "Divine Dharma Aspect," surrounded by countless talisman seals and secret runes, and soared high above the Sect’s Holy Land. Watching the cyan Giant Dragon turn its course, he pressed a musical note and said, "Brother Pei, He is not keeping the promise He made to you!"

"With Su Wenrou and Pu Zhaotian both gone, and Li Yuanli also in trouble, we must stop Him!"

"This Old Dragon, who has always been causing trouble, should have been dealt with long ago!"

Dong Shangqing was burning with rage, and in the form of the "Divine Dharma Aspect," He flew towards the Xi Rang Continent.

...

The world below.

Pei Yishan, one of the True Gods, spoke with a slightly heavy tone, "This obstinate Old Dragon insists on retaliating against Pure Land once more before His departure from Purgatory."

"Dong Shangqing won’t be able to stop Him," said the Old Black Turtle, now in human form, calmly.

This place was Panshi Fragment Land.

After waking from a long silence, the Old Black Turtle moved Fragment Land towards the First Realm; this matter had long ago alerted Pei Yishan, and the two had been quietly communicating many times recently.

"You are the guardian left here by Pang Lin, has Pang Lin made any arrangements?" Pei Yishan looked at the Golden Bee Insect on the shoulder of the Old Black Turtle and inquired.

"Dong Shangqing need not take action. Someone naturally will deal with Long Xiao," said the Old Black Turtle, looking somewhat exhausted and feeling likewise. "His repeated mistakes are bound to make Him pay a painful price."

Pei Yishan was taken aback.

With the True Gods falling into the Fifth Realm, who else, or what force, could be at Pang Lin’s disposal and also capable of restraining the Old Dragon?

"You will find out soon enough," the Old Black Turtle said with composure.
