The black dragon transformed into a dense black mist and instantly flew out thousands of miles away.

Hao Ren supported Su Han, wanting to pursue but unable to extricate himself. The profound Five Elemental Spirit Energy in his crystal was continuously infused into the palm of Su Han's hand, attempting to activate her meridians.

Now, if he slightly loosened his grip, Su Han's life would be completely cut off!

The black mist that Taiyi Cave Lord had transformed into rushed towards the direction of the East Sea, flying directly over Kunlun Mountain in the sky.

"Demon!"

Voice after voice of cultivators resounded within Kunlun Mountain.

Various colored lights shot out from Kunlun Mountain, yet none were able to intercept this incredibly fast black mist.

Bang!

The black mist swept across half the sky and then flew over Donghai City, directly plunging into the ocean.

The people in the city felt that it suddenly darkened for a few seconds before abruptly brightening again, returning to normal.

By the East Sea Dragon Palace, Liu Yi was leading a team of troops on patrol around the nearby sea areas of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

The last time he followed Hao Ren's instructions and strengthened the military forces around the East Sea Dragon Palace; since Hao Ren had not revoked this order, he continued to strengthen the patrolling force in the vicinity of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

News that Hao Ren successfully refined the crystal had already reached their ears. Liu Yi guessed that Hao Ren's realm should have greatly improved, making him genuinely delighted from his heart.

Zhao Kuo lost to Su Han, but Hao Ren was getting stronger and gradually could rival Zhao Kuo's influence.

Bang...

Suddenly, a massive wave of black rolling fog spread towards the direction of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

"Full alert!" Liu Yi raised both hands, gripping his Green Dragon Halberd and swiftly flying in the sea to slash at that patch of thick black fog.

Although he didn't know what this black fog was, it clearly contained faint traces of a cultivator!

The soldiers following Liu Yi threw their respective pitch-black spears.

These spears were crafted from the finest iron of the East Sea Dragon Palace, heavy and tough. Launched by these soldiers who had trained in the palace, they could easily penetrate through walls five meters thick.

Bam!

The moment Liu Yi, holding his newly forged Green Dragon Halberd, flew to the front of the black mist, before even touching it with his halberd, its blade instantly curled up!

Liu Yi's body recoiled like a cannonball, and the Green Dragon Halberd shattered into several pieces without making contact with the black mist.

The spears thrown into the black mist all bounced back in sequence, causing instant casualties among those soldiers.

Wearing armor, Liu Yi slammed onto a reef underwater, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. He hurriedly took out a Fourth Rank Pill given by Hao Ren to barely keep himself alive but could only helplessly watch as this strange black mist surged into the East Sea Dragon Palace.

With their team of several hundred elite soldiers, they couldn't even delay the black gas for half a second.

The black gas charged straight into the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, and not even the palace's protective array formation had any effect!

Wherever it passed, the guards were all knocked to the ground! There were heavy casualties!

The elders in the dragon palace felt that the protective array was broken; one by one, they flew out of their palaces. Their families lived outside the city walls of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, so if there was danger for the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, it meant danger for their homes!

"Foolish!"

A deep voice shouted from within the long plume of black gas, which then suddenly dispersed into dozens of tendrils that spread throughout the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace.

These dark balls with tails ran amok inside the dragon palace, and any elder who tried to resist was instantly penetrated!

The dragon palace also had a considerable number of imperial guards, but wherever these patches of black gas went, they turned black or died!

Zhao Guang and Zhao Hongyu rushed out of their palaces. Seeing the situation deteriorate, Lù Elder and Sūn Elder quickly blocked them.

Two tendrils of black gas charged straight at them. Despite Lù Elder and Sūn Elder putting all their effort into blocking it with their abilities, they couldn't prevent the black gas from entering their bodies, causing them to stiffen up, turning completely black from head to toe.

This evil energy was like heavenly lightning, capable of breaking through all five elements. The Eastern Sea elders practiced water-based cultivation methods; how could they use their spiritual energy to resist this kind of evil energy!

"Hmph! Zhao Kuo isn't here!"

From the thick black mist hovering above the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, Taìyī Cave Lord coldly said.

Zhao Guang clenched his fists and thought himself lucky. He had no idea where this black evil energy came from, but it seemed that the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was doomed this time.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo's mindset had been changed by郝仁 (Hǎo Rén), he stopped stubbornly isolating himself in seclusion and accompanied Xīngyuè Elder to southern cities for a change of scenery. Otherwise, given Zhao Kuo’s personality, he would certainly rush forward recklessly.

Boom!

The black mist formed by Taìyī Cave Lord suddenly condensed several tendrils of black gas and flew towards the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace's rear mountain!

"Not good!"

Zhao Guang suddenly realized something, shivered, and shouted.

The location of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was not chosen at random but built over an ancient "evil eye."

It is said that the sacred treasure of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was used to suppress this evil eye.

This very sacred treasure emitted a profusion of spiritual energy, ensuring that the power of Eastern Sea dragon cultivators always remained at the top.

However, since several thousand years ago, this evil eye had not moved and did not release even a trace of evil gas. As such, it was considered to be completely sealed off. Since the dragon cultivators needed to contend with human cultivators, this sacred treasure was lent to the Dragon God Temple.

This secret was known only by the successive Eastern Sea Dragon Kings; Zhao Hongyu wouldn't even know about it!

Now that the thick black gas with strong evil intent flew towards the rear mountain, Zhao Guang knew something bad had happened.

If this evil eye were to open up, it would mean a great disaster for all under heaven! The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace would be destroyed in an instant, and even the entire Eastern Sea might turn into a black refinement realm!

Taiyi Cave Lord saw that Zhao Kuo was not there and noticed that the legendary神器of Dragon Palace of the East Sea was also still. He knew then that the神器had indeed been lent to the Dragon Deity Temple, and he no longer harbored any thoughts of slaughtering the cultivators from Dragon Palace of the East Sea. He hurriedly flew towards the back mountain of Dragon Palace of the East Sea.

Everything was under control! Although there was one more variable with Hao Ren, the plan only had a slight gap but it would ultimately succeed!

From hundreds of years ago when he began his secret plans to reaching this point step by step, everything was for this day!

The moment he became a true Dark Dragon, even Heavenly Dao could not stop him!

Where there are immortals, there are demons; where there is the Immortal Realm, there must be a Demon Realm… as long as the balance of Heaven and Earth is disrupted, he would become the progenitor of a brand new Demon Realm!

Bang!!!

Taiyi Cave Lord transformed into a black dragon body and struck out with dark energy, eager to bombard the back mountain.

The explosion tore open a large hole in the back mountain, causing waves to surge and the ground of East Sea City to tremble violently…

For people living in East Sea City, the sudden earthquake was a shocking event!

Zhao Guang hurriedly rushed towards the back mountain, while Head Elder Lu and Head Elder Sun, who had taken several medicinal pills, along with some other lightly injured purple-robed Elders, also quickly followed.

The Elders did not know that below the back mountain was a sealed Demon Eye; they only knew that it was where the tombs of previous Dragon Kings and Elders were located! It was forbidden to enter without permission!

"Prohibited area of the Dragon Palace, no unauthorized personnel allowed!"

An old but powerful voice sounded from the back mountain.

It could be seen that Chancellor Xia wore a long grey-black robe, bent over and hunched-backed. He was looking up at the swirling demonic energy in the sky, stretching out his hands.

Zhao Guang and others were slightly surprised to see Chancellor Xia here.

Chancellor Xia was an old minister from Zhao Haoran's era, one of the most senior figures within Dragon Palace of the East Sea. Besides coordinating internal affairs in the palace, he also had the responsibility of guarding the tombs.

No one would have expected that during the chaos at Dragon Palace, Chancellor Xia would come here to guard the Dragon Tombs.

"Hahaha… Old man, get lost!"

Taiyi Cave Lord let out a few mad laughs as he condensed into a dark humanoid phantom from his black dragon form. As he charged towards the back mountain, he also sent a giant palm towards Chancellor Xia.

“Chancellor Xia!” Zhao Guang shouted urgently.

This was an ordeal for Dragon Palace; it seemed that no one could escape it. Chancellor Xia was a loyal minister who staunchly protected the entrance to the tombs on the back mountain, which was indeed touching. However… Zhao Guang did not want to see him die in front of them.

“I shall follow you now, Old Dragon King!” Chancellor Xia stretched out his hands as his hunched back suddenly burst open.

Ding...

A golden flexible sword shot out from Chancellor Xia's back.

Chancellor Xia grabbed the flexible sword with his hand. No longer was he an old and frail figure; although his face still appeared relaxed, his eyes were sharp and spirited!

Tianlong Power!

Zhao Guang and a few elders were so shocked that they couldn't move their feet.

This Chancellor Xia, who handled miscellaneous affairs in the Dragon Palace, actually hid within him the realm of Heavenly Dragon!

This golden soft sword was the Primordial Yang Sword, which had been missing from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace for hundreds of years! This precious treasure of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was actually hidden in Chancellor Xia's hunched back, right under their noses!

"Heavenly Dragon! The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace still has a Heavenly Dragon!" The black phantom of Taiyi Cave Master sounded somewhat surprised.

Suddenly, two spears appeared in his hands. These spears were integrated with his body, condensed from demonic energy.

“Too bad! You showed up too late! My demonic body is now stable!” Taiyi Cave Master released two intense beams of black light, and extended two pairs of dark dragon wings from his back, swirling layers of black mist as he attacked Chancellor Xia.

The Primordial Yang Sword in Chancellor Xia's hands moved casually but carved out a clear 18 sword lights. The mightiness of each sword light forced the elders of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace to take three steps back.

This sword intent was too sharp!

Click, click, click...

The black phantom of Taiyi Cave Master was chopped into several pieces.

However, in an instant, the thick demonic energy凝聚起來，重新化為黑色幻影。

嘩……

夏丞相的天龍威壓全開，連同趙廣在內所有人都無法移動。

“怎麼會……”太一洞主的虛影魔軀也無法動彈。

夏丞相向已經凝固起來的黑色幻影翻動手腕，身形瞬間化出18個幻影，以趙廣幾乎看不見的速度劈出了18劍，形成三百多道交叉劍影！

滋……

最後一劍，夏丞相化身長劍，直接從中穿過！

砰！

金色的元陽劍斷成了兩截。

黑色幻影漸漸消散……

夏丞相向前衝出，順勢滾到趙廣腳邊。

“哈哈哈……師父冇想到我還有一縷殘魂吧，是我控製不讓你動的！”許柯虛弱的聲音從虛影中傳出。

即將消散的虛影突然凝聚成一個黑球，瞬間移動到了萬米之外。

夏丞相無奈地看著那個逃跑的黑球，眼皮沉重。冇想到他抱著同歸於儘的心思，仍然冇能徹底摧毀魔魂，居然還有一縷分魂……

他抬頭看著趙廣，臉色漸漸暗淡，“龍王…照顧…紫公主…”

Zhao Guang and several elders were so shocked they couldn't move their feet.

This Chancellor Xia, who handled miscellaneous affairs in the Dragon Palace, actually possessed the realm of Heavenly Dragon!

This golden soft sword was the Primordial Yang Sword, missing from the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace for hundreds of years! This precious treasure of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace was secretly kept by Chancellor Xia's hunched back, right under their noses!

"Heavenly Dragon! The Eastern Sea Dragon Palace still has a Heavenly Dragon!" Taiyi Cave Master’s black phantom sounded somewhat surprised.

This sword intent was too sharp!

Click, click, click...

The black phantom of Taiyi Cave Master was chopped into several pieces.

In an instant, thick demonic energy reformed the black phantom.

Huh...

Chancellor Xia's Heavenly Dragon power fully unleashed, rendering everyone immobile, including Zhao Guang.

"How..." Taiyi Cave Master’s black phantom couldn't move either.

Chancellor Xia moved his wrist and body to create 18 shadow clones, attacking the solidified black phantom with a speed almost imperceptible to Zhao Guang's eyes. He struck out 18 times in an instant, forming over three hundred intersecting sword shadows!

Zzz...

The last strike saw Chancellor Xia transforming into a sword, piercing straight through the middle of the phantom.

Boom!

The golden Primordial Yang Sword shattered in two pieces.

The black phantom gradually faded away...

Chancellor Xia rushed forward and rolled to Zhao Guang's feet.

"Hahaha... Master, you didn't expect I still had a shred of soul left, did you It was me controlling your actions!" Xu Ke’s weak voice came from the dissipating phantom.

Just before vanishing completely, the phantom condensed into a black ball and instantly teleported to ten thousand meters away.

Chancellor Xia helplessly watched as the black ball fled. His eyelids felt heavy; he hadn't expected that even with his intention of mutual destruction, he still couldn't thoroughly destroy the demonic soul, leaving behind a fragment...

Lifting his head to look at Zhao Guang, his face gradually darkened. "Dragon King... take care of... Princess Zi...wolf raised his hand to block.
