BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223: 115: The Gods Purging Edict Appears Again! _3
However, over time, the escalating intensity of this Heavenly Tribulation would inexorably push him to a level he wouldn’t be able to sustain.
“But, this will be sufficient!”
A wistful smile brushed over the weather-beaten face as the Giant Clam Water God’s gaze settled over Primal Chaos Tower within the swarm of cultivators congregated several miles away.
Inside the Primal Chaos Tower, he could distinctly sense the aura of the River Ji Dragon Seal.
“Humans, surrender the River Ji Dragon Seal and take the initiative to visit the River Ji Dragon Palace and apologize for your wrongs. Perhaps I might spare you!”
The weathered godly voice rang out over River Ji, whilst amidst the surging tides, thunders relentlessly struck down, and the monumental figure of a hundred-feet deity exudes an endless oppressive aura.
Youths from the Human Clan, cultivators, quivered in fear and screeched:
“Could it be possible that someone amongst us stole the Dragon Seal from River Ji Dragon Palace?”
“Someone indeed must have stolen the Dragon Seal, and that’s why we’ve caught the ire of the River Ji Dragon Palace. We’re merely innocent victims!”
“It’s Falling Clouds! Sunn Lanyu was searching for Falling Clouds! It must be someone from the Falling Cloud Sect who took away the River Ji Dragon Seal!”
“The damned Falling Cloud Sect, why did they drag us into this?”
Under the awe-inspiring show of power by the hundred-feet deity, the crowd had long lost their senses and rationality, cursing instinctively.
“Hurry, go apologize to the River Ji Dragon Palace. Perhaps we might still have a slim chance for survival.”
The arrogant Giant Clam Water God looked at the abominable behavior of the cultivators, a sardonic smile gracing his face.
Convinced of his imminent demise in this descent into mortal world, how could he let these Human Clan cultivators slip away?
His words were merely a tasteless jest, wishing nothing more but to witness the hideous behavior of the Human Clan cultivators.
Within the thunderous sky, another lightning bolt struck down. The dark purplish lightning bolt trembled the rivers, making the hundred-feet deity standing amidst the converging River Ji tremble slightly, prompting the Giant Clam Water God to put off his jesting demeanor.
The hand of the hundred-feet giant slowly arose, reaching towards the majestic Primal Chaos Tower. The Giant Clam Water God, his voice filled with ominous intentions, slowly responded:
“If you balk at handing over the Dragon Seal, then let everyone descend into oblivion together!”
Amidst the thunderous roars, Giant Clam Water God activated the jurisdiction of the River Ji patrol warden.
Trillions of river water, following the guidance of the Banner of Water and Sky As One, soared into the sky, draining the river such that even the barren riverbed underneath was exposed.
The waves on the water surface stirred a monstrous tide, a greenish celestial dome brimming with an intimidating aura crashed down towards the Human Clan cultivators.
This attack targeted not only the cultivators attending the Grand Conference but also the Qingping County separated by the River Ji barrier.
The populace of a million within the city looked in horror as the towering tide seemed to engulf the entire Qingping County City, implying that the imminent crash of the surging waters would result in the annihilation of a million souls.
This was Giant Clam Water God’s last madness before his downfall – using this attack as a declaration of the return of River Ji Dragon Palace to the world and asserting who the true lord of River Ji waters was!
Below the green water canopy, already beyond mere mortal’s attempts to intervene. Even the Spirit Refining Demon King would need the authority of the aquatic local deity to control this amount of river power.
In the face of such a situation, even Qi-training cultivators are merely marginally more significant ants.
Just a moment before the river tide was about to descend, time seemed to halt.
A figure in white, holding the River Ji Dragon Seal, slowly emerged from the Primal Chaos Tower.
Everyone could only see his back, the figure who single-handedly confronted the hundred-feet deity and the towering green water canopy.
In the next moment, a pair of ancient eyes, filled with historical vicissitudes, slowly opened from the high heavens above, with the power of accumulated faith from the numerous incense offerings in Cang Province for thousands of years converging at this moment.
With a slight movement of his lips, an imperial edict, symbolic of the supreme celestial might, descended into the mortal world, mediated by the power of incense faith
“Kneel!”
At that moment, the green celestial canopy came to a halt. The flustered Giant Clam Water God could only feel the divine power of incense offering within his body losing control. An extremely lofty will seemed to summon the commands of his instincts, forcing him to kneel slowly.
In the blink of an eye, the river turned tranquil!
