Chapter 261: Chapter 260 I am the Sea God

The Peacock Demon King lifted its head, its gaze still filled only with cold indifference, showing not the slightest intention of submission."Give up, submit to me, and although you must die, I can let your clansmen live on under my name. Jiali City will also be safe. After all, this is where she lives, and I don't wish to disturb her habits," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said coldly.

The Peacock Demon King replied coldly, "You think you've won? Even if we burn all our ancestral fortune, the Peacock Clan will never surrender." As it spoke, the originally somewhat illusory Peacock Golden Crown on its forehead suddenly began to shine brightly again. A cluster of golden flames rose on the crown, fueled by the crown itself.

"Have you gone mad? Burning the crown is the same as burning ancestral fortune. Not only will you die, but once the Peacock Clan loses all its ancestral fortune, everyone will die," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor could not have anticipated how extreme the Peacock Demon King would become.

"So what? Even if my clan is annihilated, you will live a life of regret. Come, let's see if I drag you down with me or if you, clinging to life, suffer endless pain in the future," the Peacock Demon King's eyes seemed to grow crazed as well as the ancestral fortune burned.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor's face darkened. It understood that in this state, even if it killed the Peacock Demon King, it would still be heavily injured.

But at this time, it had no way out. Just like the Peacock Demon King had no way out, if it could not stop the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, not only would it die, but the entire Peacock Demon Clan might face extinction.

The fourth assault, launched.

With a dazzling array of crystalline light, the massive crystal phoenix dove straight for the body of the peacock. The splendid silvery light again climbed to its peak, the burning crown bursting into brilliant gold, with the whole of Jiali City trembling violently.

And at that moment, in the distant horizon, clouds gathered in an instant; a tremendous pressure seemed to connect heaven and earth like a wall of dark clouds gathering and pressing slowly towards Jiali City.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, as it dove towards the Peacock Demon King, was momentarily distracted, and the Peacock Demon King equally noticed the appearance of the clouds. That terrible pressure made their hearts sink; the first thought that subconsciously came to both was that the other's reinforcements had arrived.

But at this point, both sides were at the point of no return. Nearly in an instant, the collision was complete.

The silver light exploded. This time, Jiali City did not experience any more turmoil. By burning its own golden crown as a sacrifice, the power of ancestral fortune allowed the Peacock Demon King to gain the upper hand for the first time. The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was suddenly teleported far away, and when it reappeared, its body's golden light greatly diminished, the second of its three phoenix tail feathers lost its gold color, and even the last feather's gold dimmed quite a bit. Its aura significantly weakened.

The price the Peacock Demon King paid for this was that more than half of the golden crown atop its head had crumbled away, the burning flames extinguishing greatly, its eyes dull and lifeless, its life aura plummeting rapidly.

The powerful beings within the city, whether they were from the Peacock Demon Clan or those who had followed the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, were all paying close attention to this battle. No one expected the Peacock Demon King to exhibit such tenacious strength, with Jiali City as its backing; it actually managed to resist and even heavily injure the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. And by this time, it was undoubtedly at the end of its strength. Would the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor still launch a final strike? Clear-eyed observers could see that even if it could win, it was likely that the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor would suffer irreversible heavy damage. With three tails it became an emperor, ranking the lowest among all the current Great Demon Emperors. Just recently becoming an emperor, its foundation was still unsteady, and once the three golden tails' light extinguished, losing its foundation and even falling back to the Great Demon King Realm was not impossible.

And at that moment, the clouds that were merely shadows just a second ago were now near Jiali City, under tremendous pressure as if a myriad of watery lights shifted. Within the clouds, massive waterspouts appeared faintly visible, conveying a terrifying momentum as if a wall of dark clouds was bearing down on the city ready to crush it.

Meanwhile, inside the Jiali Mountain Range, Dark Crow Demon King Dai Yanning's feelings were even more fearful and erratic.

The man in front of him, masked and cradling Pretty Girl in his arms, looked at it with a cold indifference.

Just a moment ago, an overwhelming power had descended, rendering it utterly immobile. That was indisputably the crushing force of a superior being, nearly bringing it to its knees.

Yet it was a Demon King Level being, a Demon King of God Rank! Even when facing a Great Demon Emperor, it shouldn't have felt like this. However, its divine consciousness was trembling uncontrollably. This seemingly insignificant human in front of it now appeared colossal, overshadowing even the two mighty beings clashing in the sky far away, as if their brilliance was dimmed by him.

Who is he? What on earth is he?

Asura, holding Pretty Girl, moved slowly toward Dai Yanning. The dark clouds in the distant sky grew more intense, to the point where the two powerhouses ceased their battle to confront the approaching storm. Only Dai Yanning could sense that the eclipse-like dark clouds seemed to be the backdrop for the man before him.

Asura slowly raised his hand to his forehead, and immediately, a glint of gold shone. In the next instant, the gold spread across his body like gilded paint. A formidable majesty burst forth from him.

Overwhelming fear made Dai Yanning lose control completely. Black mist erupted, and he bolted away into the distance, transforming into mist arrows. He used his strongest defensive method in an attempt to escape.

But as soon as he moved, he discovered that everything around him had frozen. Even more horrifying, his body, which had turned into mist, was re-forming. The golden figure had appeared before him again, as though he had never moved at all.

Difference was, behind the golden figure, a lofty, ethereal silhouette was faintly visible. It was colored a watery blue, vaguely in the shape of a human holding a golden trident. This trident slowly pointed at him, golden rings falling one after the other, leaving him completely unable to move.

A hand pressed against Dai Yanning's forehead, and in an instant, he felt the lifeblood and even the divine consciousness within him pouring out.

At that time, within the expanse of dark clouds in the distant sky, a water-blue figure also took shape, an immense shadow standing a thousand meters tall, wielding a golden trident and gazing toward the Peacock Demon King and the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor in the sky.

Both mighty beings felt like they were facing a formidable enemy. In their perception, the entity that had suddenly appeared was backed by the entire Endless Blue Ocean. A being from the Endless Blue Ocean? There existed such a powerful entity in the Endless Blue Ocean.

The golden trident was slowly raised, then pointed directly at the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor. In that instant, the already grievously injured Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor felt a chilling terror.

Was this the reinforcement summoned by the Peacock Demon King?

An authoritative voice boomed, "Those who threaten the Sea Realm shall be slain! I am the Sea God!"

As he spoke, the golden trident in his hand then pointed toward the Peacock Demon King. A torrential downpour began to fall at that moment. Under the reflection of the massive blue figure, it was as if the land had become the sea. A spectacle of light and shadow pierced the heavens, with countless figures of the Sea Clan emerging within the curtain of water, barely discernible.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor and the Peacock Demon King exchanged glances amidst their confusion, while the dark clouds suddenly surged towards the ocean as if absorbing all rivers, vanishing in the blink of an eye. All that was left in the sky was a series of rainbows, magnificent and colorful.
