438. Return to Great Chang and Meet the Azure Flood Dragon King Again!
In the maritime region of Great Chang, five Golden Core True Persons flew on their swords. Each of them held a map called the "Treasure Map". According to the map, they arrived at this place.
"Indeed, there is a vast island here. Calling it an island doesn't do it justice; it's a treasure land!"
"The rumors are true; this place truly holds treasures."
"Be careful. The rumors do mention treasures, but they also say there's a terrifying exotic beast in the nearby waters."
"This fearsome beast devours anyone or any ship that dares approach the treasure land."
"Heh, you believe in that tale?"
"What if there's an exotic beast? How many have we slain at sea?"
"If there's an exotic beast, we'll simply kill it!"Geett the latest novels at novelhall.com
The five Golden Core True Persons didn't believe in the tales of the exotic beast. Even if they did, they had confidence in their abilities. They believed that with their combined strength, they could roam the seas undefeated. Approaching the treasure land, what danger could there be? They had slain marine creatures of the Golden Core level before. The swords beneath their feet weren't just for show!
"Let's enter the mainland!"
With that, the five Golden Core True Persons flew on their swords, transforming into streaks of light, and heading toward Great Chang. However, before they could reach Great Chang,
"Boom!"
A colossal, unmatched exotic beast emerged. As soon as it appeared, it opened its massive maw, resembling a black hole, exuding a tremendous suction force, threatening to swallow the five Golden Core True Persons.
"Whizz!"
The five Golden Core True Persons, being powerful, fought back. But when their flying swords fiercely struck the beast,
"Clang, clang, clang!"
The swords hit the exotic beast but didn't leave a mark.
"What... what kind of exotic beast is this?"
"It's a king-level exotic beast!"
The Azure Flood Dragon King shuddered. He felt suppressed, even in his massive form. It was inconceivable. He was a dignified king-level exotic beast. Even if he had lost part of his bloodline, he was still a king-level beast, on par with Nascent Soul and Martial King. How could he be easily suppressed by the Saber World?
But that was the truth. Moreover, he recognized the familiar figure within.
Lin Fei! It was Lin Fei's return!
"Mas... Master, have you returned?"
The heart of the Azure Flood Dragon King trembled. Lin Fei had returned! And now, Lin Fei seemed even more terrifying. Even the faintest aura he exuded unintentionally made the Azure Flood Dragon King's heart race.
This was to be expected. How many pinnacle Nascent Souls and pinnacle Martial Kings had Lin Fei slain? Even the semi-Deity Transformation-level Heavenly Artifact Ancestor had been killed by Lin Fei. Now, only the body was left, hiding in the shadows, never daring to seek revenge on Lin Fei.
Lin Fei's aura, even if he didn't deliberately release it, remained incredibly imposing. Every move he made seemed to possess the power to casually obliterate beings of king-level. This wasn't a mere illusion felt by the Azure Flood Dragon King. It was very real! With Lin Fei's current strength, slaying the Azure Flood Dragon King would be child's play.
"Azure Flood Dragon King, you've done well," Lin Fei said, nodding slightly at him. He had witnessed everything that had transpired - the Azure Flood Dragon King devouring those five Golden Core True Persons and "blocking" himself. He saw clearly how the Azure Flood Dragon King tirelessly guarded the maritime region of Great Chang, destroying any person or ship that dared to approach.
"Has anyone entered Great Chang?" Lin Fei inquired.
"Master, to date, no one has entered Great Chang," the dragon responded. "Unless they could evade my senses."
Lin Fei nodded. How difficult would it be to elude the perception of the Azure Flood Dragon King? Even a Nascent Soul Great Being couldn't achieve that!
"I've returned this time hoping to obtain the Azure Dragon bloodline. I plan to cultivate my ninth bloodline into the Azure Dragon bloodline. Do you have any means to help me perfect this bloodline quickly?" Lin Fei questioned, not bothering to hide his intentions.
"Master, you wish to cultivate the Azure Dragon bloodline?" The Azure Flood Dragon King immediately understood. Lin Fei must be cultivating the Azure Dragon bloodline from the lineage he received, not the Azure Flood Dragon bloodline. The distinction between the two was significant.
Otherwise, the Azure Flood Dragon King would offer his own essence to Lin Fei. However, even within the Azure Flood Dragon King, there wasn't an abundant amount of the Azure Dragon bloodline, making it difficult for Lin Fei to fully cultivate it.
"Master, my Azure Flood Dragon clan is actually descended from the Azure Dragon lineage," the dragon said. "Within the ancestral lands of my clan, there may be some traces of the Azure Dragon bloodline."
"The ancestral lands of the Azure Flood Dragon clan?"
"Yes, Master. However, I haven't returned there for many years..." A hint of anticipation flickered in the Azure Flood Dragon King's eyes. Lin Fei understood that the Azure Flood Dragon King wished to visit his ancestral home. And the dragon might be right; the forbidden lands of the Azure Flood Dragon clan could hold clues to the Azure Dragon bloodline. So, Lin Fei naturally agreed.
"Lead me to the ancestral lands of the Azure Flood Dragon clan."
"Yes, Master!" The Azure Flood Dragon King replied with excitement. With that, he soared into the air, heading deep into the vast ocean.
