Cold.
After the night fell in the late autumn season, a slight chill suddenly blew in.
Gradually, the clamor of battle began to fade, and silence, like the night itself, slowly descended, enveloping the tragic scenes between the Sea and Sky.
Darkness, silence.
Only the occasional sound of a mournful cry and the movements of a few figures remained. Most people had stopped, gazing blankly around, looking out at the sea.
The so-called rivers of blood were nothing more than this!
The Four Sea Dragon Kings, along with many elders from Dragon City and the Serpent Demon Clan, all ceased their actions and stood upon the shore. Wang Long and Jiang Xue Ling Li also halted their movements.
Wang Long said nothing, staring at the blood-red and dark sea surface, gently raising his hand.
Suddenly, a massive object rumbled up from the depths of the sea.
It was he who had exhausted his last bit of strength to raise the Bronze City once more, slowly lifting it into the night sky. The bronze city emitted a dim blackish-blue light under the faint night.
Wang Long extended his right hand, and a flash of light passed by, retracting the Bronze City back into the barrier within the Black Iron Ring. He sighed lightly and was about to speak to the Four Sea Dragon Kings.
Suddenly, from the deepest part of the sea, an ear-splitting roar echoed from an extremely deep and distant place!
Everyone's expression changed dramatically!
"This is... the voice of Taotie! He is still alive!"
Wang Long glanced at the others, revealing a bitter smile. At this moment, he was completely drained of Vital Energy and had no strength left.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings nodded and simultaneously made their move. A massive whirlpool suddenly formed, pulling the surrounding seawater outward, revealing the increasingly deep scene beneath the surface.
As the waves surged several miles away, a colossal creature suddenly burst forth from the depths of the sea. Its body was already a bloody mess, yet it remained fierce and untamed!
Taotie!
This giant beast had endured two impacts from True Dragons and the crushing force of Bronze City, yet it still had not perished! Moreover, it seemed to retain its ferocity!
"Truly worthy of being an ancient ferocious beast, one of the Four Evil and Malicious creatures! Indeed, they are extraordinary beings, far beyond our imagination..."
The East Sea Dragon King sighed deeply and spoke to the other dragon kings.
The four of them simultaneously channeled their magical powers, transforming the waves into a massive net that firmly bound the still roaring and struggling Taotie, slowly moving it toward the shore.
"I would like to request something from the Four Sea Dragon Kings..." Wang Long said, glancing at the thrashing Taotie.
"What is it? Please speak freely, Dragon Head," the East Sea Dragon King replied with a slight nod.
Wang Long continued, "The Ancient Four Great Beasts, although fierce and brutal, are not devoid of discernment; they follow their own paths. Within me lies the slumbering essence of the Four Great Beasts, Dragon Soul; I have also encountered the other three ferocious beasts. Aside from Taotie, Dragon Duel, Heavenly Python, and Chaos have all returned to their slumber..."
"My request is to temporarily take custody of Taotie. Once I find a way to revive the other three ferocious beasts and reunite them with him, I believe I can change his temperament and make him useful for both you and me."
The East Sea Dragon King pondered for a moment and frowned, saying, "This is naturally not a problem. Moreover, the Four Great Beasts are all unparalleled in strength. If they can truly be at my disposal, even the Human Emperor would have to think twice before confronting us. However... do you have confidence? If that fierce beast recovers from its injuries, it may not only be useless to me but could also become a threat again."
Wang Long smiled, "You can rest assured about this matter. Since I have said this, I must have confidence... Although the Taotie is greedy and violent, its temperament is rather naive. Once the Dragon Duel and Heavenly Python awaken, I am certain we can free it from the Human Emperor's control..."
As he spoke, he extended his right hand and once again placed the Black Iron Ring down, drawing the massive body of the Taotie into his small world.
The Four Sea Dragon Kings glanced into the depths of the ocean and sighed, "Although we have received the Sea Master's favor this time and agreed to temporarily lend our assistance, I still have some concerns... Since Yang Fuhai is dead, although the Human Emperor is furious, there will be some time before he strikes again. Before that happens, we four should first head to the Land of Return to Ruins to take a look. We will take our leave now."
Wang Long smiled, "Wait a moment... Since our two families have formed an alliance, matters concerning the Four Seas are also my concern. Now that the survival of the Four Seas is at stake, how can I stand by idly?"
"Um? Does the Dragon Lord intend to accompany us to the Four Seas and the Land of Return to Ruins?" The North Sea Dragon King said in a deep voice. Although everyone had become allies at this moment, trust had not yet been fully established.
Wang Long replied with a smile, "Four Dragon Lords need not worry. I am not here to pry into your affairs; it’s just that the Land of Return to Ruins is extremely critical. If anything goes wrong, it could threaten the lives of the Four Seas Aquatic Clan. Since we are allies, and to be honest, the influence of the Four Seas far exceeds that of my Dragon City and Serpent Demon Clan. I cannot afford such losses!"
The East Sea Dragon King was taken aback and nodded, "What you say makes sense. However... how does the Dragon Lord know about the details of the Land of Return to Ruins?"
"This matter... never mind. After all, we are allies now, and there’s nothing to hide. The world is vast; Nine Provinces and Four Seas are said to be boundless and infinite. Even if you four are Dragon Kings of the East Sea, you may not know what lies beyond the ends of heaven and sea."
"The Ancient Dragon Clan mysteriously vanished, leaving behind the Thirteen Volumes of Dragon Script Heavenly Book, which claims to encompass all mysteries of the world. You four should be aware of this. The secret of Return to Ruins that I know comes from there, just like what the Human Emperor knows."
The East Sea Dragon King exclaimed in surprise, "Have you seen the contents of those so-called Thirteen Volumes of Heavenly Scriptures?"
"Indeed. Not only I but also the Human Emperor has seen them... Therefore, both of us know many things—some even things we shouldn't know."
The East Sea Dragon King sighed, "I see... So that means you also know about the secret of the Land of Return to Ruins?"
Wang Long smiled and said, "Indeed... According to legend, there are three places in the world known as the Land of Return to Ruins. One is located on Southern Abyss Island, called the Source of Ten Thousand Fires, a place of intense heat; the second is deep within the Four Seas, at the center of the ocean, where all waters converge, known as the Source of Dragon Arts."
"In fact, the true Return to Ruins is the gateway that connects to the Mysterious Realm!"
"The so-called three major Return to Ruins are: Southern Abyss Island as Earth's Gate, the depths of the East Sea as Ocean Gate, and the other place... is the most mysterious of all, known as Sky Gate!"
"That gateway may be high above in the Sky, beyond countless layers of heaven. No one has ever known its location, let alone where it leads."
Wang Long paused and suddenly sighed, "I have a theory... Perhaps the fall of the Ancient Dragon Clan was not as people speculate—a disaster they could not escape—but rather that they discovered Sky Gate and ascended to another world..."
The Four Sea Dragon Kings were dumbfounded and somewhat at a loss.
These matters were profoundly mysterious; even they, extraordinary beings, felt bewildered and did not know how to respond.
Wang Long quickly added with a smile, "This is just my personal speculation... After reading the Thirteen Volumes of Heavenly Scriptures, there is little in this world that I do not know. The Secret of Dragon Extinction is one such mystery. There is also one person..."
He looked at the Four Sea Dragon Kings and said solemnly, "What exactly is that Sea Master you speak of? What is his background?!"
