Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Zhong Shan vs. Ao Sihai

"Roar~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ao Sihai tilted his head back and let out a long roar, two prominent blood-red dragon horns suddenly emerging from his head, a clear sign of his extreme rage. The roar shook the entire Dragon Palace.

Shrimp soldiers and crab generals fell to their knees, countless dragons and serpents trembling in fear. What had happened? Why was their supreme leader so furious?

After his roar, Ao Sihai forcibly calmed his anger, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed his surroundings. Suddenly, his head snapped up, looking south. It was as if he had sensed the location of the Imperial Seal. With a single step, he disappeared, heading straight for Tianlang Island.

In the span of ten breaths, the three ninth-grade magical treasures had been completely refined into energy by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, which now looked even more solid. Meanwhile, Zhong Shan, while absorbing the energy refined by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail, took nearly half a day.

The powerful and surging energy continuously impacted Zhong Shan's body, causing his cultivation level to skyrocket.

Originally at the third stage of the Emperor Extreme Realm, he broke through twice: Emperor Extreme Realm Fourth Stage! Emperor Extreme Realm Fifth Stage!

Two consecutive breakthroughs! A tremendous harvest, an enormous gain!

Zhong Shan was extremely satisfied. If only he had more ninth-grade magical treasures!

Of course, the energy from three ninth-grade magical treasures only allowed him to rise by two stages, which only Zhong Shan would find satisfactory. Anyone else would be infuriated.

With his increased cultivation, Zhong Shan was in an excellent mood. Dusting off his clothes, he walked out of the hall.

Meanwhile, Ao Sihai, streaking across the East Sea, suddenly stopped when the Imperial Seal was refined by the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail.

Ao Sihai's speed was terrifying. Just the sudden stop caused a massive airflow, creating thousand-foot waves in the sea below and a gigantic underwater storm, which collapsed several palaces in the seabed.

A dragon general, who was in seclusion and had just reached a critical point in his cultivation, was abruptly interrupted.

"Boom~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

The underwater storm surged through, collapsing the palace and burying the dragon general. A beam fell and struck the dragon general's delicate nose, causing a nosebleed. The dragon general's cultivation was interrupted, and his face was filled with immense anger. Who dared to cause such chaos in his territory?

Furious, the dragon general burst out of the sea, exuding a domineering aura, ready to tear apart whoever had disturbed his cultivation.

"Bang~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

"Who the hell is stirring up trouble in my territory while I'm at a critical point in my cultivation?" the dragon general roared as he emerged from the sea. He looked up angrily, but as soon as he saw the figure in the sky, he was stunned, and his giant mace fell into the sea with a splash.

The Dragon Clan's supreme leader? Ao Sihai?

The dragon general felt like crying. What had he just said? Did he call the supreme leader a turtle bastard?

He wanted to slap himself. The dragon general fearfully knelt on the sea's surface, prostrating himself.

"Supreme leader, this lowly one is a fool and didn't know!" the dragon general said, trembling with fear.

The dragon general saw that the supreme leader, with his prominent dragon horns, was clearly enraged. He thought he was doomed!

The terrified dragon general didn't dare resist and could only await Ao Sihai's punishment.

Ao Sihai was furious, his dragon horns protruding again, but his anger wasn't directed at the kneeling dragon general. In fact, Ao Sihai didn't even notice the dragon general. He was infuriated because he could no longer sense the Imperial Seal.

The Imperial Seal held a great secret of the Dragon Clan. It couldn't be lost, especially not in his generation. Gone? He couldn't sense it at all? The supreme aura he left in it was gone?

What was going on?

Proud Hao Meili would never bow to anyone, not even Ao Sihai. Instinctively sensing danger, she immediately ran to Zhong Shan because she had heard the Western Poison Emperor say that Ao Sihai wouldn't dare harm Zhong Shan.

"Where is the Imperial Seal?" Ao Sihai repeated, his urgency evident.

"I don't know!" Hao Meili stubbornly refused to admit anything.

"You're not going to tell me?" Ao Sihai said angrily.

With a single motion, Ao Sihai pointed, sending a blue beam of light shooting towards Hao Meili.

In an instant, Zhong Shan reached out, grabbed Hao Meili's arm, and pulled her behind him, glaring up at Ao Sihai.

The blue beam shot towards Zhong Shan, but as it reached him, a phantom appeared around Zhong Shan, like a mouth, swallowing the blue beam whole, then disappeared back into his body.

"Ao Sihai, I respect you as a senior, but the Great Zheng Palace is not a place for you to run wild!" Zhong Shan shouted angrily.

His words were direct and showed no politeness.

The Western Poison Emperor was in disbelief. He couldn't believe Zhong Shan dared to confront Ao Sihai. He had told his disciple that Ao Sihai couldn't harm Zhong Shan because of Di Xuansha, but Di Xuansha wasn't here. Zhong Shan had guts!

Hao Meili, on the other hand, looked at Zhong Shan with bright eyes.

Ao Sihai hadn't paid attention to anyone else when he arrived, not even Zhong Shan. To him, Zhong Shan, at the Emperor Extreme Realm, was nothing. He hadn't expected someone to dare confront him, and even effortlessly neutralize his attack.

His eyes turned cold as he looked at Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan stood his ground, meeting Ao Sihai's gaze without fear.

An emperor must have the courage to face heaven and earth. Even if his cultivation wasn't as high, he couldn't show any fear. He had to stand firm.

Zhong Shan practiced the Dao of the Emperor and would not harbor any thoughts of fear. In such situations, he could not be weak.

"And who do you think you are?" Ao Sihai asked coldly.

Ao Sihai could see a faint aura of luck around Zhong Shan, an invisible dragon aura that hadn't yet fully formed—a precursor to becoming an emperor. However, in the presence of the supreme leader of the Dragon Clan, what did that matter? Even an emperor wouldn't dare confront him like this.

"I am the ruler of the Great Zheng Dynasty, Zhong Shan! And who do you think you are?" Zhong Shan retorted coldly.

Zhong Shan's retort angered Ao Sihai. Who in the world dared to question him like that?

"Brat, you dare!" Ao Sihai roared. A terrifying aura surged towards Zhong Shan.

Zhong Shan stood firm, fully alert. At this moment, his main body and shadow body were combined, putting him in his peak state.

Inside his Purple Mansion, the black jade talisman, the Wheel of Reincarnation, and the Eight Extremes Heavenly Tail were all ready to be unleashed.

The overwhelming pressure of a Heaven's Limit level expert bore down on everyone, making them struggle to stand.

"Hmph~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the imperial palace, a sudden cold snort echoed, instantly dispelling the oppressive aura from all directions. Just one cold snort effortlessly neutralized the overwhelming pressure of Ao Sihai's formidable presence.

Ao Sihai's eyes narrowed, recognizing the presence of a powerful being, an extraordinary master, one whose strength rivaled his own.

"Di Xuansha!" Ao Sihai spat the name with venom.
