Weiyuan Immortal City.
With the sudden ergence of Su Ye.
He had single-handedly turned the tide, slain the Blind Holy Maiden, and destroyed the Divine Tree.
This great battle involved over ten third-rank entities.
It encompassed all the third-rank powers within the Cyan Profound Sect’s sea region—a truly earth-shattering war.
And now, it had finally co to an end!
However, though the battle for the immortal city was over, its impact was far-reaching, continuing to spread and ripple outward.
It was as if a giant boulder had been thrown into a calm lake.
The resulting ripples spread endlessly, stirring up unknown changes.
...
South of Yaoguang.
The Mist Sea.
A gray-white fog shrouded the waters, thick with an aura of deathly silence.
The fog in this sea seed ancient, never dissipating year-round.
For hundreds of years, many ambitious navigators had sought to conquer the Mist Sea and chart the distant waters.
Full of confidence, they had piloted their spirit ships straight into it.
But their fates... were all the sa: a one-way trip.
As ti passed, countless navigators t their doom here.
This sea had beco a forbidden zone, a na that struck terror into the hearts of all who heard it.
But today,
a strange phenonon suddenly occurred within the Mist Sea.
BUZZ!
The gray-white fog churned violently, as if it were boiling!
If anyone had been observing from the edge of the Mist Sea at this mont,
they would have discovered a startling fact.
The fog of the Mist Sea was continuously dissipating.
Or rather, the Sea of Fog had always been slowly dissipating, but now, the speed had increased dramatically.
It was as if so threshold had been crossed, and it was vanishing faster and faster!
...
Weiyuan Immortal City.
After the ravages of the great battle,
this sacred land for Loose Cultivators was now... a scene of utter devastation.
Remnants of the sea of trees—branches and leaves—littered the streets and buildings.
Even after the Divine Tree’s destruction,
these branches had lost their vitality, becoming stiff, dead things.
But many cultivators still feared them, viewing them with utter dread.
Beyond that, the effects of the Beast Tide continued to plague Weiyuan Immortal City.
Although the sea of trees had previously consud a portion of the demonic beasts,
the number of remaining beasts was still significant.
And their quality was not to be underestimated.
Among them were quite a few second-rank demonic beasts!
ROAR!
A deafening beastly roar would occasionally echo through Weiyuan Immortal City, striking fear into people’s hearts.
These demonic beasts coveted the immortal city’s Spiritual Qi-rich environnt and the cultivator flesh so close at hand.
They lingered within the city, refusing to leave.
They even showed signs of settling in and making it their new lair!
For the city’s cultivators, who had suffered grievous losses in the war,
driving out these demonic beasts and reclaiming their territory would be an exceedingly troubleso task.
Fortunately, they had powerful support!
...
The Outer City.
"Xuanwu District, coordinates sixteen, one-fifty-three. Large gathering of demonic beasts detected."
"Civilians have been evacuated. Requesting fire support."
After confirming the coordinates, a cloaked scout sent a Communication Talisman soaring into the sky.
Then,
in just a few breaths’ ti,
a crimson ray of blood-fla suddenly lit up the horizon!
BOOM!
The blood-fla struck the ground and exploded like an incendiary bomb!
The bone-eating, marrow-lting blood-fla rapidly spread through the target area!
Countless demonic beasts scattered and fled, but before the blood-fla, which hunted them down as if it were alive, there was no escape!
A few dozen breaths later,
the dium-sized beast pack that had occupied this district—
consisting of four second-rank demonic beasts and nearly a thousand others—
was effortlessly annihilated in that single strike of blood-fla!
The blood-fla seared and devoured their flesh, reducing their corpses to charred, withered husks!
Only after the flas died down, and after waiting for another half an hour, did the immortal city’s cleanup crew of cultivators dare to slowly approach.
A few Foundation Establishnt cultivators hovered in mid-air, sighing with emotion.
"So this is the Ghostly Flood Dragon?"
"Worthy of being Mr. Su’s warship..."
Bai Xiuying was also among them.
She said nothing.
Instead, she turned her head to look at the Ghostly Flood Dragon, floating dozens of miles away over the city center.
A look of bewildernt appeared in Bai Xiuying’s eyes.
’Mr. Su...?’
Although the cultivators of the immortal city had not personally witnessed the third-rank battle atop the canopy,
based on Canghai’s description and the presence of the Ghostly Flood Dragon,
it wasn’t difficult for them to deduce
that the cultivator who had turned the tide was none other than Su Ye!
It was unbelievable.
But it was the only possible answer!
’Mr. Su... how on earth did he do it?’
Bai Xiuying muttered to herself, unable to find an answer.
In her mory, Su Ye’s face seed to be veiled in a layer of mystery.
...
anwhile, in another part of the city, another group of cultivators was also clearing out demonic beasts.
Jian Ziheng and a few other Foundation Establishnt cultivators were holding the line.
SWOOSH.
Just then, a streak of Escape Light flew over.
Another Foundation Establishnt cultivator had arrived.
"My apologies, everyone, I’m late."
"Huh? Mr. Jian, where’s your battle armor?"
the man asked in surprise, cupping his hands in greeting.
Hearing this, the faces of the other Foundation Establishnt cultivators present turned strange, as if they were suppressing laughter.
Jian Ziheng’s face twitched, his expression stiffening.
"Don’t ask, just don’t ask!"
He was filled with regret, wishing he could just slap himself a few tis.
’Dammit, what was I thinking!’
Back then, after losing to Su Ye, Jian Ziheng had been too proud to let it go and had soone spread so harsh words.
’Once I fix my battle armor, I’m coming to deal with you. You just wait, kid...’
It was supposed to save face, to preserve a bit of dignity.
But who could have imagined that not long after... Su Ye would reach the Crystal Formation realm?!
And rumor had it his combat strength was terrifying; even the master of the immortal city, Canghai, treated him with courtesy.
Jian Ziheng didn’t dare to imagine.
’If Su Ye decided to hold a grudge, then he and the Jian Family...’
Hiss...
The thought made Jian Ziheng’s scalp tingle with fear.
So, to avoid suspicion,
he not only scrapped his previously damaged battle armor,
but he didn’t even dare to wear the spare set that was an essential part of his Gold lting and Iron Refining Skill.
"What battle armor? I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"I, Jian Ziheng, have never had a habit of wearing battle armor!"
...
「Several days later.」
Relying on the aerial support provided by the Ghostly Flood Dragon, a quasi-fourth-rank spirit warship,
the cultivators of the immortal city, backed by superior firepower, finally annihilated the demonic beast packs entrenched within the city walls.
At the sa ti, law enforcent cultivators worked tirelessly, arresting troublemakers, sweeping the streets, and suppressing lawlessness.
The chaotic situation in the immortal city was brought under control.
Next, Array Masters and civil cultivators used their techniques to repair the city.
They cleared away the dead branches from the sea of trees and rebuilt the collapsed buildings and city walls.
The immortal city began to resemble its pre-war state.
However, buildings could be restored.
But cultivators could not be resurrected.
Weiyuan Immortal City was inevitably much more desolate, showing signs of decline.
It would take a long ti to heal its wounds and restore its forr prosperity.
anwhile, in the captain’s quarters of the Ghostly Flood Dragon,
on a comfortable, large bed, Su Ye’s eyelashes fluttered. His pair of jet-black eyes slowly opened.
