âWudi, whatâs going on?â Weisheng Cangyuan was confused by what was unfolding before his eyes. He could see the azure dragon pulses merging and forming into a ball of spirit hazard. As for Tianming, he had already disappeared.
âI have no idea, but something similar previously happened with the Prime Tower and the Grand-Orient Barrierâs imperial dragon pulse.â Li Wudi stretched his hands out helplessly.
âPrime Tower?â Everyone was shocked when they heard Li Wudiâs words. Looking at the ball of spirit hazard, there really was a silhouette of a pagoda within. When the white pagoda appeared, the ball began shrinking.
âThatâs right.â
âThen what happened to the imperial dragon pulse after that?â Weisheng Cangyuan asked.
âGone.â Li Wudi chuckled.
âWhat?â Weisheng Cangyuan and Weisheng Tianlan were both shocked, and their eyes widened. In the end, Weisheng Tianlan asked, âWill the azure dragon pulse disappear as well?â
âTake a guess,â said Li Wudi.
âHoly shit! Doesnât that mean that the Southsky Barrierâs power will weaken by half?!â Weisheng Cangyuan cursed.
âDonât worry about it, old man. Heavenâs Elysium is no more, and Iâm still around to take care of the Earthorigin Sect. So donât be so stingy. Furthermore, my son was of great help today, so he should get his reward.â Li Wudi retorted.
In the end, Weisheng Cangyuan and Weisheng Tianlan didnât know whether to laugh or cry as Weisheng Tianlan spoke out, âWeâre not being stingy. The azure dragon pulses are the inheritance of our Southsky Sect, so I canât bear to see them gone. Then again, whatâs Tianming using them for?â
âI have no idea. But when Iâm looking for a replacement for the Grand-Orient Barrier, Iâll help you search for one as well. After all, we canât let such a huge barrier go to waste,â said Li Wudi.
âI want the best, so donât try fooling me!â Weisheng Cangyuan replied. He knew how important the azure dragon pulses were, and if Tianming wasnât the one taking them away, his temper would probably have blown by now.
âThis child has immense merit. I hope the Prime Tower can bring him benefits after absorbing the dragon pulses. Consider it the gratitude of our Southsky Sect,â said Weisheng Tianlan. As he spoke, the Prime Tower finally appeared and absorbed the azure dragon pulses. At this moment, the Prime Tower was dyed two colorsâblue and yellow. Then the Prime Tower disappeared, revealing an unharmed Tianming before their eyes.
As soon as Tianming came out, he directly headed to Southsky Island without saying anything and landed on a beach, surrounded by Aquamarineâs citizens. When he arrived at the beach, Tianming immediately sat with his legs crossed and started meditating. This was the main reason he was in such a rush to leave the Southsky Barrier. The Southsky Barrier was filled with surging waves, and if he had meditated there, he would definitely be carried away by the waves.
âItâs really Vermilion Birdâs Li Tianming!â
âThatâs right, Iâve seen him before! I heard that he saved us all using two artifacts!â
âHe tied me with a rope, and I wasnât able to recognize him back then.â Many citizens surrounded Tianming in excitement. But when Tianmingâs aura suddenly exploded, they didnât dare to get too close.
âYou guys deal with the aftermath, Iâll go take a look at Tianming,â said Li Wudi.
âAlright. The seventy thousand defenders will be imprisoned in our Southsky Prison. The Dreamchant Barrier of the Southsky Sect can restrict their strength to the greatest extent,â said Weisheng Tianlan.
âCan it fit seventy thousand people?â asked Li Wudi.
âWeâll just squeeze them in.â
âAlright. Iâll come for them once Iâm done with Heavenâs Elysium, and Iâll bring them to take the Cloudmist Sword Schoolâs territory back.â
âNo problem.â
The Southsky Sect began imprisoning the captives, comforting the citizens, and suppressing the defeated purifiers. But that wasnât all there was to their job, as they still had to clean up the battlefield, gather the spoils, and lift the Southsky Barrier, all of which would probably take days to complete.
âYe Shaoqing and the rest will probably arrive in a bit. Theyâll be here with a hundred people, and we can send the citizens of Aquamarine back with them when they get here,â said Weisheng Tianlan. âFather, as for the azure dragon pulses... believe in me as well as the father and son. Li Wudi is loyal to his friends, and he definitely wonât allow us to suffer a loss.â
âHonestly speaking, after so many years, the Southsky Sect and Grand-Orient Sect are already one family. Now that the Grand-Orient Sect is swallowing up Heavenâs Elysium, I bet it wonât be long before they swallow the Onyx Sect and Cloudmist Sword School as well,â said Weisheng Cangyuan.
âThatâs true, but the Li Saint Clan, and Li Wudi, specifically, are fundamentally different from Heavenâs Elysiumâs Jun Clan. The Li Saint Clan seeks harmony and common ground in which to develop together. So even if the Onyx Sect becomes part of the Grand-Orient Sect, it wonât be like Heavenâs Elysium,â said Weisheng Tianlan.
âSpeaking of which, is Tianming meditating right now?â
âThatâs right.â
âWhyâs he in such a hurry to meditate?â Weisheng Tianlan looked over in Tianmingâs direction with a perplexed look on his face.
Tianming really was currently in a hurry to meditate. He might seem calm on the surface, but his lifebound space was already surging with waves. The azure dragon and imperial dragon pulses had been released by the Prime Tower and were sweeping throughout the entire lifebound space. This place, which had always been peaceful, was finally thrown into chaos.
âHoly shit, itâs a disaster!â
âBrother Chicken, thereâs so many eggs flying around!â
âWhy are you still here just watching? Come and help out!â Ying Huo jumped around as it called out to Meow Meow. They finally managed to grab the ten Primordial Chaos Beast eggs, with Ying Huo protecting the smallest one under its wings. But all of a sudden, Ying Huo felt a sting under its wings. Looking down, it realized that its feathers were being caught in the cracks.
âHow naughty!â Ying Huo scolded it, nearly losing its temper. But he had heard of the saying that the eldest brother was also the father, so he could only endure it and protect the seven eggs. However, the largest one, which was at the center of the lifebound space, stood firmly under the storm.
Suddenly, cracks started spreading out on the eggs. Both Ying Huo and Meow Meow had been born outside, but the Prime Tower had swallowed the azure dragon and imperial dragon pulses and brought them into Tianmingâs lifebound space. If everything went according to their expectation, the third beast would be hatched in the lifebound space.
âItâs hatching!â The egg represented a new Primordial Chaos Beast. By absorbing the spirit hazards, it had swiftly reached parity with Tianmingâs cultivation. As Tianming had already experienced a similar scene in the past, he was far calmer, this time.
âIâm ready!â Tianming was speaking to the hatching Primordial Chaos Beast. Gradually, a third link was formed in his mind. Then, the azure and imperial dragon pulses both charged at the seven-meter-tall egg, producing a deafening roar. Tianming could hear the eggshell breaking as the two dragon pulses pounced at the egg.
âYep, weâre getting a new roommate.â Ying Huo curled its lips.
âThe egg may be huge, but I bet itâs just a small fellow.â Meow Meow made a malicious analysis.
âThatâs right, let Tianming feel despair and carry on dreaming. Heâs clearly just a ride, yet he wants to become our master,â Ying Huo chuckled.
The instant Ying Huo spoke, the third egg finally broke apart. However, the beast within it was shrouded by the two dragon pulsesâa total of a hundred and ninety-eight dragons. However, everyone could tell that it was huge. Just one of its claws alone was comparable to dozens of Ying Huo and Meow Meows.
âHoly shit!â
âThe third one betrayed us! Why is it so huge!â Ying Huo was dumbfounded.
âIâm not convinced! Itâs clearly trying to buck the trend!â Meow Meow glared at its new âlittleâ brother. Looking at its outline alone, it was comparable to Meow Meow in its Regal Chaosfiend form.
âThatâs not fair! I want a majestic body as well!â Ying Huo said enviously.
âMe too! Iâve had enough of those women looking at me with their lustful eyes glowing!â Meow Meow sighed.
âAre you god damn showing off?!â
âMeow?â
âFurthermore, you can even transform!â Ying Huo grew more furious the more it thought about it.
âOh, youâre right! Brother chicken, it looks like youâre the only tiny one around!â
âScrew you! The third one is fine. If any of the rest of you dares to break the trend again, Iâll stew every single one of you!â
âAre we going to nourish ourselves?â Meow Meow asked.
âYou shut up! I want to eat a cat egg right now!â
Meow Meow instantly turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared when it heard Ying Huoâs threat. It seemed that it had a strong awareness of protecting eggs.
Letting out a sigh, Ying Huo laid on the ground and used the little egg as a pillow. As it shook its legs, it wore an aged expression and reached out for the small egg. âFourth, youâre a babe, right?â
The eggâs response to Ying Huo was two jolts from the egg, almost as if the egg had just nodded.
âRemember to massage my legs and shoulders when youâre born, alright? Also, youâre not allowed to be huge,â Ying Huo added. But this time, the egg knocked on Ying Huoâs head, then it ran off. In the end, Ying Huo began to doubt its life as it groaned, âMe and my pathetic life!â
A deafening rumble echoed and Ying Huo could finally see the third hatchling absorbing the dragon pulses and gradually growing stronger. Shortly after, it began to open up its beast veins and gather spiritsource. It even went as far as comprehending heavenly will!
Tianming already had the Aeternal Infernal Phoenix and Genesis Chaos Thunderfiend, which gave him infernal and chaos beast veins. His beast veins were enormous to begin with. Now, a third beast vein was starting to take form, and it was known as the primordial beast vein!
That meant that a third power was starting to take form in his dantian, aside from the Grand-Orient Vortex. Besides the infernal- and lightningsources, a dual-colored spiritsource was beginning to take form. It manifested in the form of an ocean with a mountain above it. The two colors seemed like a complete world of their own, with aquatic lifeforms swimming in the sea and birds flying above the mountain. It was Tianmingâs primordialsource!
âLittle friend, may I know your name?â Tianming asked.
What answered him was a loud, overlapping voice in his ears, âI am the Primordial Terraqua Dragon!â
