The long sword, held before him, shattered once more. The sword energy directly struck his chest plate, and the powerful impact sent Zheng Chengong flying hundreds of feet, falling helplessly.
Fortunately, he was successfully intercepted by Yu Dayou's warship and did not fall into the boundary sea.
"Pfft!"
Lying on the ship, Zheng Chengong spat out a mouthful of blood. His chest was bleeding as he said, "I am unharmed. Fortunately, the Yinglong divine beast protected me, and the peerless immortal treasure also deflected some of the sword energy. It's just a superficial wound; it won't take my life. Help me up!"
Nan Tianxun stood quietly by the shore, afraid to enter the boundary sea. Suddenly, he saw that figure, not dead.
"Huh?"
"Damn it!"
"Order the navy to surround them!"
Nan Tianxun was furious. Under his sword strike, a mere Profound Immortal being had not died, only sustained heavy injuries.
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
"General Yu!"
On the warship, Zheng Chengong's voice was weak as he said, "Pass down the order. The army will advance into the deep sea. At the junction of the near and deep sea, head north to return to the Great Han Immortal Dynasty. Do not head south!"
"Your Excellency, rest assured!" Yu Dayou replied solemnly. He was also skilled in naval warfare and naturally understood Zheng Chengong's intentions. A southern encirclement would undoubtedly be fraught with peril, and the Southern Heavenly Emperor might even intercept them. To retreat safely, they could only venture north.
A day later, Zheng Chengong, Commander of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's Yinglong Second Army, led his army in a surprise attack on the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty, annihilating a million of their troops. Furthermore, under the personal pursuit of the Southern Heavenly Emperor Nan Tianxun, he managed to escape safely. The news of this feat sent shockwaves throughout the Nine Realms!
For the past few million years, the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty had never suffered a defeat in their foreign conquests. Now, the formidable Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty had repeatedly fallen at the hands of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
Zheng Chengong, a previously unknown Profound Immortal being, had withstood a sword strike from Nan Tianxun, one of the two supreme powerhouses of the Nine Realms, and retreated safely. Despite the gap of two cultivation realms, he had not perished. Zheng Chengong's name resounded throughout the Nine Realms, becoming an inspiration for countless beings.
Ten days later, the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty's millions-strong navy searched and blockaded the near sea, but still found no trace of Zheng Chengong's army. Nan Tianxun was enraged and personally led the troops to search the boundary sea, but to no avail. Su Dan Novel Network.
Several days later, dozens of warships belonging to the Great Han Immortal Dynasty's Yinglong Legion's Second Army appeared off the coast of the Ancient Sword Sect in Jian Guan Realm. The news of their arrival caused great shock. Zheng Chengong, who had escaped from the grasp of the Immortal Lord Nan Tianxun, had led his army around the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty's heavy blockades and circled to the north of the Nine Realms.
Nan Tianxun felt deeply humiliated. As the Emperor of the Southern Heavenly Immortal Dynasty and one of the two Immortal Lords of the Nine Realms, he had failed to capture a mere Profound Immortal. He was immediately bent on raising an army of millions to attack the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
On that day, Scholar Lao of the Sacred Academy appeared in Southern Heavenly City. Using the incident at Dragon Burial Island as leverage, he suppressed Nan Tianxun at every turn. After three moves, Scholar Lao left Southern Heavenly City with a smile. Half an hour later, Nan Tianxun abandoned his plans to march east and attack the Great Han Immortal Dynasty.
Several months later, Zheng Chengong safely returned to the Great Han Immortal Dynasty with the Yinglong Second Army and their troops underwent rest and recuperation.
Since the Great Han Immortal Dynasty entered the Immortal Realm, the turbulent Nine Realms entered a period of peace once more. As time quietly passed, the sea area near Dragon Burial Island attracted forces and families of all sizes. However, as the major factions holding the Dragon Origin Tokens did not appear, the beings who entered Dragon Burial Island were like headless flies. Despite racking their brains, they could not pinpoint the location of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasure.
As days went by, a peerless immortal treasure warship sailed into the eastern sea area of Dragon Burial Island. The banner of the Raging Ice Immortal Dynasty flew high, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars. The Raging Ice Immortal Dynasty, a prominent power in the Nine Realms, was the first to arrive. Eager to find the corpse of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor, the Raging Ice Emperor, who did not possess a Dragon Origin Token, was understandably anxious. He dispersed his ten thousand elite soldiers to search, attempting to force open the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasure with brute force.
Slowly, several more months passed. The Raging Ice Emperor, having deployed his ten thousand troops without success, reluctantly docked his warship on the coast, waiting quietly. By this time, thousands of ordinary immortal treasure warships of various sizes had gathered at Dragon Burial Island, crowded with numerous beings. Many of them were not from the Nine Realms. It was clear that the overall strength of these foreign beings was several major realms higher than that of the native Nine Realms inhabitants. Gradually, the sea area around Dragon Burial Island, and even the eastern, northern, and western sea areas of the Nine Realms, saw a continuous stream of ordinary immortal treasure warships, and even one or two peerless immortal treasure warships sailing slowly on the boundary sea.
The native inhabitants of the Nine Realms occupied increasingly less territory, and bloody battles began to break out. Countless Nine Realms beings were slaughtered. Dean Zhang of the Sacred Academy, stationed on Dragon Burial Island, single-handedly upheld the reputation of the Nine Realms, protecting countless native inhabitants. He even personally killed a Golden Immortal expert, immediately deterring the foreign beings.
Slowly, a considerable number of Golden Immortals gathered, even exceeding the total number of Golden Immortals in the entire Nine Realms. The entire sea surface churned violently. To stabilize the southwestern sea area of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty, Yang Hao ordered the Yinglong Legion to conduct day and night patrols. Several major heroes also personally killed several Golden Immortals, completely pacifying the chaotic situation on the boundary sea.
"It seems my old guess was wrong." Looking at the endless stream of ships on the sea, Dean Zhang felt deeply ashamed. He had initially thought that the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's secret treasure had been plundered countless times and would not attract too many factions. Unfortunately, seeing the crowded sea, Dean Zhang had underestimated the allure of the Dragon Burial Immortal Emperor's corpse.
Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed. Bian Teng, the Sect Master of Xuan Sect, holding a Dragon Origin Token and leading several Golden Immortal experts from the Xuan Sect lineage, stepped onto the land of Dragon Burial Island. As he appeared, the blood-red dragon scale on his body erupted with boundless blood-red light. Instantly, the sea area around Dragon Burial Island erupted with terrifying winds and waves. Countless beings were startled and looked towards the sea surface. Within the boundary sea, a dragon-like figure was moving, rumbling with roars and furious dragon cries.
A powerful aura erupted from the depths of Dragon Burial Island, accompanied by dragon roars, causing towering waves to rise and instantly shattering hundreds of warships. Countless beings perished directly in the surges. Even Golden Immortal experts could not withstand the engulfment of the tidal waves; not to mention Golden Immortals, even more powerful beings, once entering the boundary sea, found it difficult to escape the curse of the Great Dao.
Rumble!
Around Dragon Burial Island, the sea waves surged and churned. Heaven and earth mutated, and fierce winds howled.
