It’s not surprising that the East Sea Dragon Palace is the Dragon Emperor’s palace.

Could the Pure Heaven Realm truly be Human Emperor Lie Shan Shi’s ideal realm?

What kind of place exactly could be considered a Human Emperor’s ‘ideal’?

Jiang Wang only knows that the Pure Heaven Realm has vast territory, a dense population, and its current defender, Xu Wuming, is a contemporary True Person from the Three Punishments Palace. Earlier, Zhu Qingru even specifically went to the Pure Heaven Realm to seek an order to capture Qiao Hongyi of Hao Ran Academy.

Beyond that, his knowledge of the place is quite limited. He always thought it was a place similar to the Pure Land of the Futu, and only at this moment did a strong curiosity arise within him.

“It should be similar to a Cavern Heaven artifact, right? Like Jixia Academy,” Jiang Wang guessed.

Yu Liyang smiled, seemingly appreciating Jiang Wang’s insight: “That’s not a bad way to understand it. But to be more precise, the East Sea Dragon Palace is a manifestation of the Dragon Clan’s authority, while the Pure Heaven Realm is a realm built on law, an ideal world of absolute rule of law.”

Absolute rule of law!

Jiang Wang naturally thought of Lin Youxie, and thus of the Columns, of Lin Kuang, of that pitch-black long night, that insurmountable high wall… and also of the master of Ju Ground Palace, Grandmaster Wu Bingyi.

For many Legalist cultivators, a world where “absolute rule of law” can be realized is indeed a world that can be called ideal.

Struggling free from past thoughts, he considered history again. According to some classics, such as “Jing Xu Xiang Er Ji,” the Founder of Law and the second Human Emperor, You Xiong Shi, together ended the ancient era.

And Lie Shan Shi is the third Human Emperor, the leader of the human race in the middle ancient era. Could his ideal realm surprisingly be such a world filled with Legalist ideals?

He pondered and said, “Human Emperor and Legalism…”

Yu Liyang casually glanced at Zhu Qingru: “Human Emperor Lie Shan Shi once studied under the Founder of Law. Of course, a figure as great as a Human Emperor learns from a hundred schools and isn’t purely a Legalist disciple. However, even now… Legalists often claim to be the true inheritors of Lie Shan.”

Zhu Qingru’s expression remained unchanged. She nodded to Jiang Wang, indicating that True Monarch Yu’s words were not false. But the blank, nameless book with rapidly changing text in the void had already quietly closed.

Jiang Wang once heard a saying that the maze world is the product of battles among powerful individuals, and the current chaotic state of the maze world is precisely because the rules that originally existed here were forcibly shattered.

Looking at it now, that wasn’t just some irresponsible, mysterious legend.

It was merely a factual description that concealed the identities of the combatants.

Today’s maze world is precisely the result of the great battle between the Human Emperor and the Dragon Emperor in the middle ancient era!

And the fact that the maze world stretches across this place, leading to a war between the two races that lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, is not unrelated to the balance and compromise of that moment.

At this very moment, the Shaba Dragon Realm is already shattered, and when it will be rebuilt is unknown. The wasted and to-be-filled resources are countless.

But compared to the losing position in the chess game between the Buddha of Heaven and the Master of Penglai Island, it is almost negligible.

The human army, led by Cao Ji, is arrayed in the Ji You Realm, confronting Rui Chong and the other four Emperor Lords across the realm river.

The surging realm river is perhaps the most dangerous place in this realm. And the killing intent of those at the peak, though the Heavenly River is difficult to block.

They have been locked in this situation for a moment, with both sides having invested almost equal peak fighting strength in a short time. Even the elite troops are matched. The eventual winner will only be determined by reality.

If they fight again, the human race still has True Monarchs, and the sea race still has Emperor Lords. They will exchange lives, making it difficult to end and also difficult to bear.

This is not yet the moment for the Cangwu Sword and the Shaba Dragon Staff to truly collide.

Could this great war, stirred up by Qi Xiao and affecting the entire maze world, thus end with a great victory for the human race?

The human race might be willing, but the sea race is clearly not!

The moment the Shaba Dragon Staff returned to the Shaba Dragon Realm, Xuan Shen Emperor Lord Rui Chong, whose right arm had been chopped off by the Cangwu Sword, still took a big step forward!

She approached the vast realm river she had personally drawn out, and also approached the various human True Monarchs on this side of the realm river. From beginning to end, she didn’t even look at the shattered mountains and rivers underfoot.

Her sacrificial crown was solemn and sacred, her sacrificial robe fluttered like a dance.

Behind her was a vast divine power, surging like the realm river she was now walking towards.

The drifting divine mist was like the clouds of the ruined Shaba Dragon Realm.

Within the clouds, gods manifested!

There were gods with eight arms, gods carrying mountains, gods driving tigers.

The mountain god of Long Chan Ridge, the tree god of Xiang Tan Sea… Mountains and rivers all have gods. The mountains and rivers are shattered, but the divinity still exists.

At this moment, with a single thought from Rui Chong, divine positions were granted, and all went forth!

And within the vast multitude of gods, the figures of the other several Emperor Lords were faintly visible, as if also guarding her.

She had lost her right arm and put down the Shaba Dragon Staff, but the staff had originally been in her palm.

Walking before all the gods, Rui Chong was high above.

Her five senses were sacred, but her eyes held no emotions, only a kind of pure, supreme indifference.

She was the master of gods, the highest Yang God in this place! When she walked to that broken, turbulent flow.

From the divine mist, rainbow bridges flew up one by one, spanning the long river. And the gods filling the sky suddenly accelerated, stepping onto the rainbow bridges and moving forward, swarming across the realm river to kill!

Not just the wails of thousands of small gods.

This is the extinguishing power of gods after the mountains and rivers are broken. It is also a long-operated realm domain, looking back at the past, the years that needed to be repaid.

Rui Chong briefly held the Shaba Dragon Staff, briefly grasped the Shaba Dragon Realm, and at the moment of these shattered mountains and rivers, with the power of the highest Yang God, urged out the destructive power of this world! On this side of the vast realm river.

Yue Jie wore old armor and held an iron spear, Zhu Sui was hunched and weak. Peng Chongjian’s hairpin was askew, and Cao Ji had residual armor and a damaged body. But their expressions were all calm.

“Is she trying to fight for what kind of life?” Peng Chongjian asked slightly curiously.

Zhu Sui chuckled in a low voice.

And Cao Ji only raised his single arm high and made a gesture towards the back. This was the command to withdraw the army.

The human army followed the order and retreated, the rear array changing to the front array, the front array changing to the rear array.

The army, leaving like a tide, declared with its actions that this war had already been decided, and there was no need to continue.

The Xuan Shen Emperor Lord’s extremely momentum counterattack was only seen as the wail of a loser.

The several True Monarchs took no other actions. Only Yue Jie took a step forward.

The iron spear held in his single hand moved forward with his step.

He himself was not dazzling. One person, one spear, one set of old armor, so strong that he seemed out of tune with this world, instead appearing abrupt.

But as he took this step, as his spear stabbed forward—

The immense waves of the great realm river surged, and all the rainbow bridges shattered on the spot.

*Crack.* The various gods surging forward, like a swarm of bees hitting an iron wall, scattered like rain before the edge of the iron spear. Not one could cross the river! If one were to say that the Shaba Dragon Realm had never experienced the end of the world, then today is the twilight of the various gods.

So-called gods, in the face of Yue Jie, were unbearable with a single strike. And the fallen Shaba gods also shattered silently within the vast realm river.

They were broken by the chaotic flow and became part of the chaotic flow.

Stable rules are usually without sound and color; broken rules, instead, are colorful.

This realm river spanning the Ji You Realm and the Shaba Dragon Realm will perhaps become an unforgettable scene of victory in many people’s hearts.

But at the same time, new changes were already occurring. Hidden by the Shaba gods—the several Emperor Lords shrouded in the divine mist, were actually each taking secret actions. Or perhaps, the Xuan Shen Emperor Lord’s stirring up of the Shaba Dragon Realm’s final offensive was precisely to cover these changes.

The several Emperor Lords either cast spells and curses, or set up Dao platforms, displaying supreme divine powers.

Especially Wu Yuan Emperor Lord Zhan Shou.

He walked out from the mist. His eyes, which constantly changed and flowed with color, instantly switched through seven colors and fixed on purple!

When Zhan Shou’s eye color turns blue, it is called Danger Search Sink Sea. What will he seek when it turns purple at this moment?

Peng Chongjian’s expression instantly became serious. Terror was happening!

Terror was not in front! ……Roar, roar, roar!

The sea beast group, roaring incessantly, suddenly became ferocious, vying to release spells first, displaying intense terror in both voice and color, forcing a ship of frost-white tall warships back several dozen sea miles.

On this warship, enduring the bombardment of many spells and swaying unsteadily, a venerable, tall, armored figure, like an ice sculpture goddess, remained fixed on the deck, also fixing the morale of the army.

“Island Master, something isn’t right.” The family general standing behind her was about forty years old, with Outer Tower cultivation. He stood very steadily, but his eyes held hidden worry: “These sea beasts seem to have suddenly become much stronger!” The sea beast riots occurring in the nearby sea archipelago had not yet calmed down after Dragon Clan Emperor Lord Rui Chong retreated.

Because Huai Island, the core of the various islands, had already been shattered, the high-level personnel on the island were almost all dead or injured when the great island-protecting array broke. Fortunately, the few elders and true inheritors who survived were also struggling with injuries, unable to support the situation. Self-preservation was insufficient, let alone sending aid to the entire nearby sea archipelago.

And the intentions of Yang Valley and Jue Ming Island were both closer to military towns, always only responsible for contending with the sea race, and not sharing governing rights with Diao Hai Lou, nor were they allowed to share governing rights by Diao Hai Lou. Especially at this moment, the majority of their elites were all in the maze world, so they could at most only provide nearby aid, making it very difficult to exert overall influence on the nearby sea archipelago.

In this situation, Ice Phoenix Island, which itself should not cause waves, and could even send troops to sweep flat many sea domains’ riots, appeared particularly conspicuous.

“Not ‘seem’,” Li Fengyao’s beautiful eyes were also carved like ice crystals, showing no emotions, reflecting ten thousand things. She gazed at this uncertain sea: “They are indeed becoming stronger.”

The family general following her had been loyal to the Shi Men Li Clan for generations and was himself an extremely experienced veteran of battle. Hearing these words, he was greatly shocked: “Is it just these sea beasts we’ve captured, or are all sea beasts… all like this?”

“Those existences playing chess in the long river of time are unlikely to simply target us,” Li Fengyao calmly took a bow in her hand and instructed: “Turn the rudder.”

The warship raising the Ice Phoenix flag immediately turned direction, and the sea beast group madly spraying spells chased after it.

And the long bow in Li Fengyao’s hand was already drawn full, the string sounding like a zither.

She didn’t even look. With a flick of her jade hand, the ice bow was already put away.

She then walked into the ship cabin with long strides: “The situation has changed. First go to Wu Dong Island. I need to get Fourth Grandpa Chong Xuan’s support… then go to Ba Jiao Island. In times of great chaos, there must be a power that can settle things with one blow. The people of Qi Country must unite in everything.”

Her bow is named ‘Frost Kill’.

This bow was cast from the eternal ice marrow of the extreme west. The first generation Marquis of Destroying Cities obtained it during his youth in the Snow Country. It went through countless battles and achieved many merits, ultimately becoming a world-famous soldier.

Li Fengyao held it in her hand since she was a child, her fingers never leaving the string these years.

Compared to those noble ladies who sang to the moon and served flowers, she was also a refined young lady from a distinguished family, only what she stroked was not an ordinary zither.

She did not turn back, but her arrow left the string and flew out, transforming into a vivid ice crystal phoenix. Amidst the clear cry of a phoenix, it dived low over this sea domain.

*Ka! Ka! Ka!*

One by one, the roaring, leaping sea beasts were frozen into statues of baring teeth and claws.

Under the gloomy rain and thunderclouds, they solidified into different, beautiful scenes. The sea waves thus became flat.

Because the ice river had no waves. ……

Having lost the continuous roars of beasts in response, the rumbling thunder sounded slightly lonely.

Lightning struck about one thousand three hundred sea miles away, illuminating a sea beast transformed from a kingly rank in the sea domain below.

This beast’s body was like a whale, but its spine was like a mountain ridge, its back had ghost patterns, and its belly had bone thorns like large sickles.

It was the first to destroy Star Pearl Island, earning the primary merit. It was exactly he who first shattered that tower on Star Pearl Island.

Although it was called a fake king with the name ‘Eat Evil’, it was already not far from being a true king.

He was not like Fish Guangyuan or Ao Huangzhong, who were heaven’s favorites. All his cultivation was the result of accumulated hard work over the years. He had lived a very long time,

living desperately. Every ounce had to be fought for, only by swallowing down resources mouthful by mouthful.

Being captured to Fu Zhou Island was not his wish, nor was he the first to rebel when Fu Zhou Island changed. He only began to rampage after that powerful cultivator from Tai Xu Sect was driven away.

Only when the situation with Emperor Lord Tai Yong’s descent became clear did he begin to be brave, leading his team to sink Star Pearl Island.

Today, this great change is about to happen.

No, it is happening.

That step that seemed extremely short yet like a natural chasm, that step from the kingly rank to the true king level, he is crossing it!

He doesn’t even need to do anything more. He only needs to wait, wait for the tide of the great sea race civilization’s leap, which will naturally push him there.

What a great moment, what a wonderful experience. The pleasure of power leaping is a kind of ultimate bliss. Counting all the wonderful things experienced in this life, none of them can compare.

But at this moment, he is unable to savor that kind of pleasure.

Even though he is indeed leaping, becoming stronger. He only feels terror!

Terror that penetrates to the depths of his soul!

Clearly, the person in front of him is so small. Before his manifest true form as a sea master, his huge beast body, this person is not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

Clearly, the person in front of him is doing nothing, just looking at him, quietly and with a touch of curiosity.

Yet, he is already enveloped in immense pain, unable to extricate himself!

The man in front of him is only wearing a single thin garment, even his pants are thin, like the kind humans wear to sleep in bed. His long hair is naturally scattered, not messy, but also without a sense of neatness.

His bare feet are just stepping on the sea surface, and both his hands and feet are shackled.

His eyes are empty and curious, looking up at him, like looking up at a high mountain.

Eat Evil King forcibly gathered his constantly dissipating will and difficultly opened his mouth: “You… what exactly do you want to do?”

“Yes, what do you want to do?” the man asked back, slightly blankly.

“I don’t want to do anything, really, I don’t want anything, I want to go home…” The Eat Evil King, infinitely approaching the true king level, almost cried out in panic and pain: “Let me go home…”

The man, whose iron chains on both hands dragged into the sea, suddenly grasped his palm and from the air grasped and exploded Eat Evil King’s eyeballs!

Amidst the painful howls of this sea race king, his tone was mixed with some dissatisfaction: “Did I ask you?”

Thunder rumbled in arrays, strong winds howled.

The man’s single clothing vibrated on the sea surface.

His voice was calm most of the time. It was the calmness of the earth’s crust in motion, the undercurrents rolling, all the frenzies deeply buried.

“Gao Ji, do you want to have a chat with me?”
