“Mara!!!”

Although Xu Yang had already felt an ominous premonition, hearing this revered name still sent shivers down his spine, as if a great terror had descended upon him, leaving him terrified and his soul shattered, powerless, like a fish on a chopping block.

This was unrelated to one’s will or determination. It was sheer suppression due to the disparities in power and standing. Even the most resilient ant would tremble before the Immortal Gods and bow down in fear.

Strength, position, the vast differences in the levels of life—these were not things that will or determination could overcome.

That being, the one in existence, was too powerful, so much so that words could not describe his might.

Even Xu Yang, the Black Water Dragon Monarch, with the status of an Earthly God Authority and his Golden Core Transformation, was overwhelmed; not to mention the millions of mortals gathered on both banks of the river, all of whom stood petrified, staring blankly at the red moon in the sky.

The red moon hung high, and its blood light illuminated the Three Realms and Six Paths.

Then the sky cracked, stars fell, and one Demon God after another descended from beyond the universe.

“Heavenly Will!”

From Mount Tai of the Eastern Peak, a sigh echoed from the underworld, followed by an earthquake that shook the mountains. The revered Five Peaks crumbled into the depths of the earth, leaving behind only a dark abyss, leading to an unknown part of the netherworld.

In the vast Four Seas, the Jiao Dragons roared in anger, and thousands of them followed the True Dragon, spinning to open up a whirlpool in the sea, into which a crystal palace disappeared without a trace as well.

“Catastrophe! ”

Above the Nine Heavens, a palace rose with the wind, breaking through the Broken Void, and vanished into the vastness of the sky.

All over the Three Realms, famous mountains and great rivers witnessed the glittering of divine lights, as one after another, daoist places of practice, Divine Domains, Blessed Lands, and Cave Heavens became separate.

“Ha ha ha!”

“Where do you think you are going!”

“Stay!”

Outside the firmament, hordes of demons descended, intercepting the gods from all directions.

More Demon Gods swung their colossal arms, casting countless seeds of the netherworld’s Blood Sea, which transformed into Asura Demon Generals that fell into the Three Realms.

“Wash the Three Realms with blood, turn them into the Blood Sea, and let them join my nether river!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

Countless Asura Demon Generals descended upon the mortal world, and with the red moon above, they wept netherworld blood rain.

Amongst the blood rain, the bewildered people underwent horrific mutations.

“Kill… kill… kill!”

“Heh! Heh! Hell!”

Those bathed in the blood rain rapidly transformed, the majority turning into Demon Soldiers, with only a few surviving.

But this survival was no blessing, as the Demon Soldiers immediately began to slaughter, turning the lively festival and markets into a blood-soaked battlefield in an instant.

In the sky, the Green Jiao was suspended, and although its body was not mutated by the blood rain, its spirit was still in shock.

At that moment, amidst his consciousness, the Blackwater Divine Seal suddenly vibrated, conveying a sense of tranquility.

Earth Deity Law, Natural Way!

In an instant, the shock dissipated, and Xu Yang awoke in astonishment.

But before he could act, he saw…

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

A demon general descended from the sky, standing thirty feet tall, with three heads and eight arms, extraordinarily ugly and extremely frightening.

“Asura! ”

The name suddenly popped into Xu Yang’s mind, making him realize the origin of his opponent.

It was indeed one of the six paths of the Demon Realm, the Blood Sea Ashura of the Netherworld!

This clan was born from the creative forces of the Netherworld Blood Sea, the males grotesquely ugly, the females beautiful, all quick to anger and fond of fighting, to the extent of extreme ferocity.

This Asura demon general descended from the sky, bathed in blood. Without a word to Xu Yang, he raised his eight Asura arms, ready to launch an eight-arm dragon attack.

Xu Yang’s eyes narrowed as he spurred the Dragon Ball. Lightning exploded around his body, and he became a thunderbolt that cleaved toward the demon general.

“Kill kill kill!

The might of the thunderbolt was not to be underestimated, but the Asura demon general had no fear, shaking his eight arms wildly and striking in frenzy, he met the force of the lightning with his bare body.

What a formidable Asura demon general, his eight arms whirling in a frenzied blow—not only did he smash the thunderbolt but also continued his assault directly before the Green Jiao, displaying the might of the Blood Sea Ashura.

But Xu Yang was not one to be easily dealt with. His dragon tail swung out, crackling with electricity, combining the force of the Jiao Dragon with that of lightning, heavily lashing the body of the Asura demon general, and striking a dazzling lightning fire across his bloody armor.

“Kill kill kill!”

Yet the Asura was fearless, growing wilder as the battle raged on. His arms in front embraced the tail of the Green Jiao, while the six arms on the sides moved vigorously, dealing heavy blows to the body of the Green Jiao, shattering the Green Jade Scales and inflicting severe injuries.

This demon’s strength was even greater than that of a Golden Core cultivator!

Xu Yang’s eyes focused, and he made up his mind. His body, like a huge serpent, wrapped around the Asura’s body.

The body of the Asura, reaching thirty feet high, couldn’t be completely ensnared by the body of the Jiao Dragon that was nearly thirty feet. He could only wind around him a few times and restrain the Asura’s eight arms.

Yet it was not enough to completely bind him. The Asura demon general let out a wild battle cry as his demonic might surged again. His eight arms struggled furiously, bursting forth with a terrifying strength that made the Jiao Dragon’s body tremble, scales shatter, and mystical yellow blood splash.

If that was the case, the Jiao Dragon still refused to relent, clinging desperately to the demon’s body, while summoning the power of the Black Water Earth

Yuan.

“Boom rumble!”

The sky darkened, lightning flashed, and thunder roared. From within the Blackwater River, nine dragon shadows emerged, entwining the Asura demon general like chains, pulling him down, intending to sink him into the river.

It was the earthly god authority wielding the power of the spirit land to attack a powerful foe!

The Nine-headed Black Water Dragon represented the power of the entire Blackvvater River – the equivalent of the river unleashing its full might.

Thus, as the nine dragons tangled and pulled, the Asura demon general still wouldn’t yield, standing firm against the might of the Earth Deities in the void.

Just then…

An enormous whirlpool formed in the Blackwater River, emanating the force of the Earth’s polar magnet.

If at that moment a Human God had swept his divine sense across the area, he would have discovered an army of hundreds of Mystical Tortoises arrayed in a battle formation at the bottom of the Blackwater River, heedless of the cost, wielding the power of the Earth’s polar magnet to ensnare the Asura and drag him down.

The Water Army of the Mysterious Department, aiding with their formation, exerted the divine skill bestowed personally by the Giant Turtle in ancient times – the Earth Yuan Heavy Water!

With the combined force of Earth Deity Law, Divine Skills, and Green Jiao’s desperate fight, the Asura demon general ultimately couldn’t hold on any longer and his thirty-foot-tall body crashed thunderously into the water.

“Crack pop pop!”

The moment the Asura demon general entered the water, countless electric currents stirred, forming a golden electric net.

The Electro Department Water Army!

The lead general of the Electro Department, an Eel Dragon Jiao that had undergone Transformation, wielding a three-pronged fork, led ten thousand elite soldiers of the Electro Department in a battle formation. Countless currents flowed with the water, creating an electric net that enveloped the Asura demon general.

Upon seeing this, the Asura demon general was also astonished.

Although his murderous rage reached the heavens, he had not lost his reason, and within that violent killing, a thread of lucidity persisted.

This was why he found it strange that these Aquatic Clan members were unaffected by the magical rain, even assisting the Jiao Dragon.

You see, this rain originated from the blood river of the Demon Realm’s six paths, which birthed the Asuras.

Even the dragon clans of the Four Seas would be bewitched by it, so what ability did these Aquatic Clan members possess to resist its influence?

Could it be that the godhood of this Jiao Dragon was above even that of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas?

Impossible!

Then what was the explanation?

The Asura Demon General was baffled.

However, he quickly cast aside this doubt, furiously struggling with his eight arms, attempting to break free from his bonds.

He was not suited for thinking; whatever peculiarities this Jiao Dragon had, killing was the answer.

Asuras were born to kill, fighting against the heavens and the earth, never resting until death!

“Kill, kill, kill!”

The Asura roared furiously, his cries of slaughter shaking the heavens, his Demon God’s fighting power climbing once more.

“Bang!”

The Green Jade Scales shone brilliantly before shattering, blood of a black-yellow hue spurting out, yet still tightly binding the Asura’s eight arms.

Ignoring the pain in his body, with a peaceful gaze, Xu Yang looked toward the Blackwater River. He thought of the Blackwater River that he had painstakingly built bit by bit, and his heart filled with countless thoughts, ultimately settling on a single sigh.

“Everyone, flee for your lives!”

A sigh, a thought, and in an instant, it spread all across the riverbed of the Blackvvater River. “Dragon Monarch!”

“Master!”

The Water Army’s divisions, the generals, and the many Disciples who rushed over from the Divine Mansion were all shocked beyond measure by the thought conveyed. They were overcome with a foreboding premonition that caused them to shiver.

Xu Yang said nothing else, his thoughts commanding forces everywhere, then clenched his body regardless of his injuries to restrain the Asura’s eight arms, and the giant head of the Jiao Dragon revolved, coming face to face with the Asura Demon General.

Not just facing each other, but pressing close. The head of the Jiao Dragon pushed against the Asura’s forehead, foreheads and eyes locked in a confrontation, one side cold and unfeeling, the other brimming with murderous intent. Tangible glares shot out, violently colliding in the void.

“Kill! ! !

In the face of the Jiao Dragon’s cold gaze, the Asura laughed madly, his killing intent soaring skyward, utterly indifferent to his predicament.

“Die!”

Xu Yang kept his words sparse as well. Lightning flickered all around him, seeping out from within, making his ten- zhang-long body instantly light up.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed from a “Green Jiao” into a “Golden

Dragon!”

Inside the belly of the Golden Dragon was a Golden Core, also crisscrossed with lightning, generating thunder spontaneously, and emanating an aura of destruction.

At all costs, detonate the Dragon Ball!

Thunder-Driving, Lightning-Lifting, unleashing his full might!

No, not just the Dragon Ball!

Within his Divine Soul, between the Sea of Consciousness, a divine seal radiated brilliance.

The authority of the Earthly God, the Blackwater Divine Seal, was disintegrating and destroying itself in the Sea of Consciousness.

Ultimately…

“Boom!!!”

A tumultuous explosion, and a golden glow burst forth from the pitch -black depths, like the light of dawn or the luster of a pearl.

Regardless of what it was, everything was destruction, devouring all that was to be destroyed.

The entwined Jiao Dragon Asura was consumed in an instant, vanishing into the boundless brilliance of the lightning.

A sudden explosion, annihilation in all directions!

A thousand Zhang in range, creating a vacuum, the Blackwater surged up, wrapping countless Aquatic Clan members, sweeping across all sides.

“Dragon Monarch!”

“Master!”

Countless frantic cries, caught between the black rain and the blood, heading towards an almost desperate future.

In the real world, atop his bed.

“Heh!!!”

Xu Yang’s eyes snapped open, and he sat up with a start, drenched in a heavy sweat as if he had just experienced a nightmare.

A nightmare?

Indeed a nightmare!

Mara, ruler of six heavens in the Demon Realm, the King of Heavenly Demons at ease!

That sensation of having his spirit, soul, and consciousness completely overtaken left an extremely terrifying psychological shadow on him.

Even awakening from the dream and returning to reality, he could not completely dispel it.

Even though he had become part of the Immortal Gods in this life’s dream, after that ordeal, he realized that compared to those true deities and demons, he was still as insignificant as an ant, as humble as dust!

The gap in stature and level could not be erased by grand words and bold speeches.

Therefore, he said nothing, only sitting silently on his bed.

After a long time, his heart finally settled down, and he vaguely sensed a transformation.

Between life and death, there is great terror!

Confronting such beings, the terror exceeds even that of life and death.

This terror could become a demon obstructing one’s mind but also aids in the transformation of one’s spirit, and in the act of self-realization.

Whether Xu Yang was the former or the latter …

He couldn’t tell.

But indeed, his heart had relaxed, finding peace.

Afterward, he lowered his gaze and looked at his hand, the hand that had been clenched into a fist all along.

As he spread his palm open, in the center lay a speck of crystal brilliance!

This was the last gain from the Black Water World; after the divine seal disintegrated and expended the strength of the Dragon Soul, in the instant of self-destruction, a fragment was transmitted back.

No, to call it a fragment was an overstatement; it was merely a speck of crystal!

Yet, it was this very speck of crystal that had drained him, the Black Water

Dragon Monarch, the Great Transformation Demon of the Jiao Dragon’s soul.
