Seizing Destiny From Heavens Hands

Chapter 317: I Had Already Agreed With You That Neither Side Would Intervene

The entire scene fell into absolute silence.

Whether human or the remaining demon clans, all stood in stunned silence, unable to utter a word.

"D-Dead…?" Mei Haihe's eyes were vacant with disbelief.

"Two demon emperors… Hundreds of thousands of demon clan members… Gone?" He Tianchou's eyes widened in shock.

"The strength Mo'er has now far surpasses my imagination," Murong Yue murmured, a sense of relief on her face.

Yet alongside that relief, there was also a trace of anxiety.

"I must hurry and practice as well… I have to catch up to Mo'er's pace."

"Otherwise, I won't be able to stand by his side."

Her gaze firmed with determination.

In the sky above—

With a casual motion, Shen Mo reached out and grabbed, causing two lifeless bodies to fall into his palm.

They were none other than the corpses of Ao Sheng and Yuan Kong.

The body of a demon emperor was an invaluable treasure.

There existed certain secret techniques that could refine them into puppets.

Though the process would diminish some of their original strength, they would still retain power equivalent to that of an emperor.

Furthermore, even if they were not turned into puppets, their bones alone could be extracted and refined into various spiritual artifacts.

After all, the bodies of demon emperors had undergone countless refinements through the tempering of their blood essence.

Every piece of flesh and bone was incomparably resilient, even superior to minerals and metals in crafting weapons.

Just as Shen Mo was about to store both emperor corpses into his storage ring—

The surface of the sea suddenly began to boil.

It was as if an ancient ruler of the ocean had been provoked into a furious rage.

"Put down Ao Sheng's corpse."

"The body of any flood dragon must return to the sea."

A cold voice pierced through the layers of seawater, rumbling like thunder as it exploded in the air.

A chilling premonition surged through Shen Mo's heart.

In an instant, two evergreen trees manifested, shielding his body.

Yet before the voice had even completely faded—

The two trees were instantly shattered into oblivion.

Shen Mo's expression turned incomparably cold.

To possess such terrifying power with just a mere sentence…

The identity of the speaker was obvious.

It was none other than the ruler of the Eastern Sea—Eastern Sea King!

Although the Flood Dragon Palace resided in the Eastern Sea, the Four Sea Kings took turns overseeing and residing within it every hundred years.

And as fate would have it, this century belonged to the Eastern Sea King.

The moment that icy voice rang out—

Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the sky.

Thunder rumbled, lightning crackled.

It was as though an apocalyptic storm was about to descend.

Far more ominous and oppressive than when Ao Sheng had appeared earlier.

"That voice… It can't be the Eastern Sea King, can it?" Murong Yue's face turned pale.

He Tianchou muttered under his breath, "It really might be… This is bad. The young sect master killed Ao Sheng—he must have enraged the Eastern Sea King!"

Mei Haihe's face was filled with fear. "What do we do now? Will the Eastern Sea King attack the young sect master?"

He Tianchou whispered, "The Eastern Sea King seems to follow certain rules. If the young sect master is willing to return Ao Sheng's corpse, he may retreat."

Murong Yue shook her head. "Mo'er is not someone who submits. And the Eastern Sea King definitely won't settle for just that."

Shen Mo gazed at the vast ocean, his voice cold and unyielding.

"I don't care about your Flood Dragon Palace's rules. I only know that this is my spoils of war."

The sea suddenly fell completely still.

Even as strong winds howled, the surface of the ocean did not stir in the slightest.

It was as if the entire sea had died.

That eerie silence lasted for only five heartbeats.

Then—like a volcanic eruption—the ocean roared to life.

It was as if an ancient beast had awakened, unleashing its boundless fury.

"Impudent brat!"

"Do you even know who you are speaking to?!"

A deafening roar echoed from the depths of the sea.

The sound was earth-shattering!

Tidal waves dozens of meters high surged forth, crashing violently toward the shore.

Murong Yue and the others turned pale. They quickly activated their defensive techniques to resist the unrelenting tsunami!

But it was not over yet.

In the next moment—

A monstrous wave, a hundred meters tall, emerged from the distant sea.

Like a towering giant of the ocean, it loomed over Shen Mo, ready to swallow him whole!

"You deserve death!"

The enraged voice thundered.

Yet Shen Mo stood firm, completely unshaken.

He knew—someone would intervene.

Sure enough, in the next instant, a sigh echoed from within Jade Sea City.

A streak of sword energy shot forth like a comet.

In the blink of an eye, the sword aura rapidly expanded, swelling to a height of a hundred zhang.

A bone-chilling cold radiated from the sword aura.

In an instant, it traversed the short distance and struck the towering wave.

Shhh—!

The massive wave immediately began to freeze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It took only ten breaths.

The wave was completely frozen.

As if time itself had been halted.

This sudden burst of icy sword energy left the people of Jade Sea City utterly shocked.

When had such a powerful cultivator appeared in Jade Sea City?

Whoosh!

A white-robed elder soared into the air, standing suspended above the sea as he gazed into the vast ocean.

His voice was calm and indifferent. "Eastern Sea King, we had already agreed that neither side would intervene. Why have you broken our agreement?"

A furious roar came from the depths of the ocean. "He killed Ao Sheng. That was Ao Sheng's own failure, and I have nothing more to say. But he intends to take Ao Sheng's corpse away—that, I will not accept!"

The white-robed elder sighed softly and turned to Shen Mo. "Shen Mo, my young friend, why not return Ao Sheng's corpse to the Eastern Sea King? Both sides can take a step back. What do you think?"

The human cultivators of Jade Sea City all turned to Shen Mo.

Their expressions were fascinating to behold.

This white-robed elder's identity was unknown, but his strength was unfathomable. He was clearly a powerful Divine Transformation cultivator.

Yet even he treated Shen Mo with courtesy.

He even addressed Shen Mo as young friend.

Clearly, he valued Shen Mo greatly.

Shen Mo shook his head firmly. "Impossible."

If he were to surrender his spoils of war so easily, what would that make him?

"You insolent brat! Today, I will erase both you and Jade Sea City from existence!"

The Eastern Sea King roared in fury.

The entire sea trembled violently.

Countless fish and shrimp perished in an instant.

The next moment, an even more terrifying wave manifested from nothing.

It soared to a height of five hundred zhang.

The bodies of countless sea creatures were caught within it.

Even shattered ships and deep-sea treasures could be seen tumbling in the raging waters.

It was vast enough to blot out the sky and the sun.

Crushing all thoughts of resistance.

In a flash, the white-robed elder moved and positioned himself in front of Shen Mo.

He raised his hand, and an unremarkable longsword appeared in his palm.

Yet just this seemingly ordinary sword made Shen Mo's eyes feel as if they were being torn apart.

A Heaven-tier spiritual weapon?

Shen Mo was slightly surprised.

"I have already warned you."

"If you insist on interfering, I will act."

"I wouldn't mind slaughtering some more of your dragon offspring and water demons. I'm sure the Southern Sea King and the Northern Sea King would be quite pleased to see it."

The white-robed elder's tone was calm.

The momentum of the five-hundred-zhang wave suddenly halted.

The Eastern Sea King seethed with hatred. "You even brought Tongtian, the national treasure of Jing Country!"

The white-robed elder replied evenly, "Without the Tongtian Sword, how could I deter the Eastern Sea King?"

Suppressing his boundless fury, the Eastern Sea King growled, "You can protect him for a moment, but can you protect him for a lifetime?"

"Ji Ping, don't think I don't know—your lifespan is running out!"

Ji Ping!

This unfamiliar name did not stir much reaction among most people.

After all, not everyone recognized Ji Ping, the Sword Sovereign of Jing Country.

But Murong Yue, He Tianchou, and other powerful cultivators had all heard of the name.

Though they had suspected it before, hearing it confirmed still left them deeply shaken.

So he was Sword Sovereign Ji Ping!

The guardian of the Jing royal family!

A peak Divine Transformation sword cultivator!

The strongest expert in Jing Country!
