Chapter 25 Famous Among the Three Clans, the East Sea Shark People
“Send out orders to have our people closely monitor the movements of the Qilin Clan.”
“Aren’t they trying to hunt down the culprit? Let them fight among themselves! Our Dragon Clan can just sit back and watch the tigers battle on the mountain!”
Zhulong lazily gave the command, his thoughts already drifting toward how to further expand the Dragon Clan’s influence in the Primordial Era.
Among the three innate clans, the Dragon Clan’s scales tribe nominally commands the four seas, but in reality, their power is rapidly expanding along the great waterways of the Primordial Continent.
The Phoenix Clan’s bird tribe nominally governs the skies but actually dominates the south of the Primordial Era. And the Qilin Clan’s beast tribe, centered around Buzhou Mountain, occupies the vast central lands of the Primordial Era, stretching billions of miles.
The three clans have been killing each other with increasing brutality. The leadership of the three clans reacted differently, but without exception, all have turned their gaze more or less towards that region and the mysterious “culprit” because of the fall of the Fire Qilin.
At this moment, at the center of this entire storm, Chu Yuan was flying swiftly toward the boundless East Sea. With a bright and swift Xuanyuan light, Chu Yuan brought Nuwa and Feng Ling, traveling eastward across billions of miles of mountains and rivers.
Years later, an endless, misty, and vast sea full of immense water element power finally appeared before the three of them. This was the East Sea—the foremost of the Four Seas in the Primordial Era!
Unlike the thick, vast land of the Primordial Continent, the East Sea gave a feeling of vastness and freedom but was also full of the unknown and chaos. The sea surface surged with waves, and occasionally gigantic sea beasts stirred up towering waves.
Beneath the sea, dark currents surged, and countless aquatic tribes were constantly engaged in brutal battles to seize territories and resources. The order here was far more chaotic than on the continent, but it also meant more opportunities and uncertainties.
“What a magnificent East Sea!”
Chu Yuan stood on the clouds, overlooking the magnificent scene below, a flicker of unusual light flashing in his eyes. Such a grand spectacle was far beyond what the vast oceans of later generations could compare to. The three of them did not rush to find a place to settle, but instead casually wandered above the East Sea.
While getting familiar with the environment of the East Sea and observing the distribution of various aquatic tribes’ powers, they were also secretly watching for a suitable immortal island to serve as their dojo. Thus, another hundred years passed.
On this day, Chu Yuan was flying swiftly above a calm sea area with Nüwa and Feng Ling. Suddenly, his divine sense detected intense fluctuations of magical power and a strong stench of blood ahead.
“Hm? A fight?”
Chu Yuan raised his brows slightly, changed direction, and flew toward the source of the disturbance. Below on the sea surface, millions of beautiful beings were suffering a merciless slaughter!
These beings had the upper body of handsome humans, but their lower bodies were covered with fish scales and tails. They were the merfolk!
Although they were beautiful, the merfolk tribe was sparse, numbering only a few million. There were even fewer experts among them, and they had to struggle to survive in the cracks between several major aquatic tribes in the surrounding seas.
The attackers were a dragon clan, with a body length exceeding a thousand zhang (a traditional Chinese length unit), covered entirely in azure dragon scales, radiating the powerful aura of a Taiyi Golden Immortal.
At this moment, the dragon was recklessly spewing dragon breath and swinging its sharp claws, tearing groups of defenseless merfolk with only minor cultivation into pieces!
The sea surface was a river of blood, with floating severed limbs. The desperate cries of the merfolk and the rampant roars of the true dragon intertwined, creating a hellish and tragic scene.
“Hmph! A bunch of lowly and weak creatures. You dare to refuse to offer three thousand mermaid maidens to serve me every year!”
The True Dragon spoke with arrogance and cruelty, his tone full of supreme pride. Survival of the fittest—this was the very essence of the primordial era. Chu Yuan glanced over, originally not intending to interfere.
Just as he was about to leave, he felt a sudden pulse in his heart. With Chu Yuan’s current cultivation, he would not be summoned without reason.
With a thought, under the powerful perception of his divine sense, in the center of the slaughtered mermaid tribe’s land, a profound aura flickered and vanished.
The Dragon Clan’s way of doing things is indeed domineering, Chu Yuan mused, a plan forming in his mind.
“Brother, shall we intervene?” Nuwa asked softly.
Though only a follower of a top-tier innate demon god and not yet transformed, Nuwa’s heart was filled with pride, and she did not regard the Taiyi Golden Immortal Dragon Clan before her lightly.
Chu Yuan did not answer immediately, his gaze scanning the True Dragon. At the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, the aura was unstable, clearly bolstered by dragon bloodline and resources, lacking solid foundation.
“Since we have encountered them, we might as well deal with it,” Chu Yuan said calmly.
Firstly, because of the treasure hidden within the mermaid tribe’s land. Secondly, Chu Yuan needed an opportunity to understand the power structure of the East Sea. Before the words fell, Chu Yuan’s figure flashed and appeared above the True Dragon.
