Chapter 161: Chapter 152: The Weak Cry Out in Vain, and No One Cares?

["You have cultivated until now, you must have experienced dozens of life and death separations. How can you not understand the ’Great Dao’s Natural Principle’? Do you think they will be grateful to you for knowing?" Ying Long was quite puzzled.]

[This person is too strange. Innate Divine beings uphold the heart of ’great love’ and also have compassion.]

[But they will never ’save people’.]

[Why? ’The heavens do not save people, people save themselves.’]

[Innate Divine beings will only transmit Dharma to the fated ones, allowing them to transcend on their own.]

[Although Ying Long likes ’creatures’, the Human Race can even die ninety percent without mattering in his eyes. Life is resilient and will naturally find a way.]

[Ning Xunqiu was silent for a while; he walked out from the Mountain and River Realm, initially facing the ’Dragon Race’ just to survive, and facing the ’Divine Land’ was also just to live. As for the people of the East Sea, the Nineteen Continents, and the Divine Land, he knew none of them personally, nor had he ever seen the wailing crowds, and he did not care.]

[Ning Xunqiu did this not for ’right and wrong’, but merely to preserve a precious bit of ’conscience’ in his heart.]

[When he doesn’t have the ability, he can stand by idly watching the masses drown, because he knows that once he acts, he will die too, so he does not save them.]

[But if he obviously has the ability and does not need to pay any price, yet still does not save them... then he is strangling himself with his own hands.]

[Ning Xunqiu was able to forge the ’Immortal Slaying Sword Map’ during the Qin Country’s disaster over eight hundred years, pushing the Martial Dao to such a height, with blood boiling in his veins.]

[Thus, Ning Xunqiu calmly said: "I do not care whether they live or die, nor do I need any gratitude. I do this because I once was also a mayfly. And now I am strong enough, strong enough that you must hear my voice."]

["Therefore, I cannot tolerate it, and you cannot act."]

[This is the significance of the ’Immortal Slaying Sword Map’ in his hand.]

[Upon hearing this answer, Ying Long was stunned, this person was as arrogant as his brother. He laughed heartily, "For this matter, I promise on behalf of my brother. In eight hundred years, I will lead the Dragon Race to attack the Divine Land, a battle to determine the universe."]

["At that time, let’s see if the Daoist friend is strong enough."]

[One person and one dragon carefully discussed cooperation.]

[An hour later, Ying Long departed.]

[Ten years later, the Dragon Race suddenly stopped attacking the ’Nineteen Continents’, and even the brutal slaughter on the Four Seas came to a halt.]

[On the peak of Cliff Mountain, a Daoist in a cyan robe stood alone, waves crashing, seemingly thoughtful. He recalled struggling bitterly in the Mountain and River Seal, recalling once resisting the Dragon Race during the ’Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth’.]

[At that time, Ning Xunqiu was just a Martial Artist, as a Divine Dynasty General, he was busy everywhere seeking a glimmer of hope, putting everything on the line, betting his life, against the Dragon Race alone, yet could not await a single person behind him, ultimately like a wave in this sea.]

[The tide surged, and the wave vanished into thin air in an instant.]

[Currently, as Qingyun Daoist, being a top ’Great Divine Power User’, just a confrontation with the Dragon Clan God ’Ying Long’, just a few words actually made the Dragon Race’s attitude change so greatly.]

[Things seemed so simple.]

[Yet so difficult.]

[The weak shout loud, yet no one cares, the strong speak softly, but it penetrates the heart.]

[Ning Xunqiu gently reached out, grasping Great Sun — the world’s Great Dao ninety-nine! I am one.]

[In a flash, eight hundred years.]

[The Dragon Race steered the sea and confronted the Divine Land coalition at the ’Sea-Defending Great Wall’.]

[The Great Xia Divine Dynasty, Great Yu Divine Dynasty, and Daqian Divine Dynasty stationed ’True Monarchs’ here, jointly setting up a grand array.]

[Warily gazing towards the Dragon Race’s side, the Four Sea Dragon Kings each holding ’Sea-Suppressing Divine Pearls’ like sculptures, behind them, dozens of named Golden Immortal Great Demons from ’Star Sea Divine Palace’ each holding weapons, shrimp soldiers and crab generals like an endless abyss.]

["With this formation, excluding a few Great Gods, the Dragon Race probably has all members dispatched, yet hasn’t attacked..." One Divine Dynasty True Monarch waited for days and saw the Dragon Race not attacking, somewhat confused.]

["The behavior of the Dragon Race is indeed strange." Another True Monarch from the Orthodox Sect frowned and analyzed, "The Dragon Race not submerging the Nineteen Continents, the power of the Four Seas cannot fully suppress the Divine Land’s Great Fortune, a strong attack on the ’Sea-Defending Great Wall’ would only lead to heavy losses without gains. Yet the Dragon Race insists on ending the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth early..."

"Could it be..."

He paused, thought of a possibility, and suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

"The Dragon Race already has a grasp of certain victory in this battle?!"]

[As soon as these words fell, several True Monarchs present were all shocked.]

[This is bad!]

[The Dragon Race is going to flip the table.]

[As they could see, a gigantic claw that shaded the sky slowly emerged from above and grabbed the grand array of the Sea-Defending Great Wall! Instantly, cracks spread like a spider web accompanied by clear and piercing sounds.]

[Several Divine Dynasty True Monarchs urgently poured out magical power, trying to salvage the situation, yet within just three breaths, the grand array of the Sea-Defending Great Wall shattered.]

[The Divine Dynasty True Monarchs were all knocked flying by this great power, their faces pale as paper, looking up, only to see an endless deep blue dragon body spanning the sky, clearly the Dragon Clan God — Ying Long.]

[Immediately following, Ying Long forcibly grabbed the entire "Sea-Defending Great Wall" from the ground and casually tossed it into the sea as if discarding a plaything.]

[The overwhelming floodwaters surged into the Divine Land.]

[The Dragon Race cheered loudly, their morale rising sharply.]

[Just then, a Daoist cloaked in a Star Robe came hovering, she looked at Ying Long and frowned slightly, saying, "Daoist Ying Long, this act truly defies the rules."]

[Such a level of Great Divine Power User, capable of altering the battlefield situation solely, was not permitted to partake in this "mortal world battle."]

["Defies the rules?" Ying Long’s voice came from above, "Zhou Tian, watching these mayflies slaughter each other below until rivers of blood flow... does that conform to the Three Saints’ rules? Wouldn’t it be better if you and I decide victory, redivide the two races..."]

["Humph!" Heaven-Repairing Dao Great Divine Power User · Lord Zhou Tian interrupted with a cold snort, "The Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth should not be trifled with. What utter nonsense."]

["Ha, only the Three Saints have the qualifications to say that to me." Ying Long sneered, as a giant claw that obscured the sky suddenly extended from the horizon, striking directly at "Lord Zhou Tian."]

[One dragon, one person clashed hundreds of times in an instant, a victor emerged.] 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

[Lord Zhou Tian crashed into the ground like a meteor, dust flying. As she struggled to stand, her hair was disheveled, looking very bedraggled.]

["If there’s a next time, I’ll kill you." A calm voice came from the sky.]

[Lord Zhou Tian looked up at the deep blue body that covered the sky, her face showing barely concealed anger and a deep sense of apprehension.]

[She lacked "Great Daoist Divine Techniques", and "Lifebound Spiritual Treasure". In Dao Practice, Magical Power, Divine Techniques, and Magical Treasure, she was outmatched by Ying Long. Even by deploying the "All Heaven Grand Array", she could only withstand Ying Long a while longer.]

[This was still the Ying Long who hadn’t used "Magical Treasure" or "Divine Techniques". Clearly, Ying Long had the absolute power to kill her, rendering her eons of cultivation to dust.]

[Such a disparity in strength, she wondered how Ying Long was once restrained by her senior brothers, Taixuan and Daoist Virtue... Could it be that in usual magical combat with senior brothers, the senior brothers were always going easy on her?]

[Lord Zhou Tian began to doubt herself.]

["Boom!" At that moment, the waters surged to drown the Divine Land completely, this act had already touched the foundation of the Three Religions.]

["We shall strike together, suppress Ying Long first!!"]

[Great Divine Power Users from Heaven-Repairing Three Religions, Taixuan, Daoist Virtue, and Butian, closely watching Lower Realm dynamics, descended immediately, plus "Lord Zhou Tian" a total of seven Great Divine Power Users, all their Magical Treasures and Divine Techniques emerged, aiming to suppress Ying Long in one go.]

[Ying Long’s eyes narrowed.]

[In an instant, a deafening roar erupted throughout heaven and earth, "Gray Thunder" like an enraged dragon at sea, swept across all directions, returning to Ying Long’s claw.]

[The seven Great Divine Power Users retracted their Magical Treasures, seeing those treasures marred with cracks, and a peculiar "gray aura" rapidly spreading, dimming their gleam, to their heartache.]

["Lord Zhou Tian" and the Great Divine Power Users attempted to dispel the "gray aura" on the Magical Treasures.]

[Discovering this "gray aura" was tenacious, requiring at least millennia of effort to completely eliminate.]

[The seven briefly suppressed the "gray aura" with their Magical Powers, then when looking at "Ying Long", their eyes were filled with immense apprehension.]

[A glance exchanged among them, their Primordial Spirits quickly reached a consensus that Ying Long, with this "gray aura", couldn’t be confronted head-on, deploy the Grand Array to suppress him!]

[Buzz!]

["Lord Zhou Tian" raised her hand as the starry sky slowly unfolded like a scroll, myriad star pillars cascading down from the sky, simultaneously, other Great Divine Power Users linked earth veins, causing towering mountains to rise and respond from the ground.]

[Various True Monarchs, Generals led the Human Race soldiers into the "star pillars", the pressure from heaven immediately pressed down.]

[Ying Long’s true form was pressed that his body sank slightly.]

[But the Dragon Race had not only one Great Divine Power User like Ying Long.]

[Four Divine Dragons soared into the sky, albeit slightly smaller than Ying Long’s true form, they were equally awe-inspiring, being Yellow Dragon, Celestial Dragon, Cloud Dragon, and Ao Le, the master of Star Sea Divine Palace, along with Ying Long, the Dragon Race had a total of five Great Divine Power Users.]

[Yellow Dragon alone restrained two Great Divine Power Users, Cloud Dragon, Celestial Dragon, and Ao Le displayed their divine techniques, each controlling an opponent. Thus, only two Great Divine Power Users remained, under heavy pressure, still stood with Human Race True Monarchs, jointly resisting Ying Long’s might.]

[Ying Long’s pressure dropped suddenly, he gently waved his wings, summoning the "wind and rain". This "wind and rain" was no ordinary, heavy as weak water, corroding Primordial Spirits, depleting Magical Power. Most of those hosting the Grand Array, True Immortals and Golden Immortals, seeing unfavorable circumstances, voluntarily withdrew.]

[In this kind of situation, only the Three Saints could intervene.]

[The Four Sea Dragon Kings of the Dragon Race controlled the water to advance directly.]

[Divine Land Cultivators, naturally not lacking fierce temperament.]

[Those Qi Cultivators shouted to the heavens, harnessing their spiritual light, rushing skyward. However, their spiritual light crashing onto Ying Long’s thick scales left only a sharp sound, and they perished, their Dao faded, to much regret.]

[Ying Long shook his head slightly, continued pressing towards the Divine Land Orthodox Sect.]

[Ning Xunqiu slowly rose into the air, from the shore of the East Sea, stepping into the void one step at a time.]
