Dragon King Day banquet.
A scene of decadence and revelry. Everyone was completely oblivious that a perilous situation was already progressing in the depths of the Eastern Sea. Madam Fan glanced at the dragon carriage. Its curtains were drawn down, and the Eastern Sea Dragon King did not reveal herself. Although Divine Names were noble and could not be peered upon directly, ever since the banquet began, it was too strange that she had not even uttered a sound.
“Your Majesty Ao Guang, are you dissatisfied with this banquet?”
Madam Fan cautiously asked.
“Satisfied, very satisfied.”
A delighted voice came from inside the dragon carriage.
Madam Fan was startled. She had heard the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s voice before, and this was completely different.
Just at this moment, an earthquake came from the Eastern Sea. Dragon King Town was violently jolted, as if it was a tiny leaf boat caught in a tidal wave. All of the cultivators had no choice but to circulate magical energy to forcibly regain their footing. Everyone glanced at each other, realizing that something was transpiring in the Eastern Sea.
Madam Fan turned her gaze back. The curtains of the dragon carriage were pulled back, and the passenger revealed herself.
She was not the Eastern Sea Dragon King but Third Prince Ao Bing.
“Your Highness Third Prince.” Madam Fan was shocked and promptly greeted her.
“Today is a joyous day for my Dragon Palace. Mother is receiving an important guest at the Dragon Palace and is unable to attend this banquet. After this day, the Eastern Sea will once again become the head of the Four Seas and rule over Primordial World’s Seven Seas.” Third Prince Ao Bing declared grandly.
Every cultivator knelt and congratulated her together.
“The western array was broken so quickly.” The Jiao Demon King sensed a fluctuation in the Dragon Palace’s western sector. She sneered: “Then This Great Sage cannot waste time.”
“Jiao Demon King, you dare cause trouble in the Dragon Palace, the Divine Court will certainly send you up the Immortal Execution Terrace.”
Defending the southern array was the turtle general. Despite his ten thousand years of magical energy, he appeared in a very sorry state in the face of Great Sage Of Overturning Seas Jiao Demon King’s Divine Energy. They used “Ten Thousand Shell Array” to its limit and at the same time activated the southern array’s magic treasure, the “Mountain Shell.”
“Ignorant insect, as if you can possibly fathom the thoughts of us Divine Names.” The Jiao Demon King jeered. She raised her hand and used the Ten Million Destinies “Turn The Tide.” A tsunami roared through the sea, as if a terrifying hurricane had been whipped up, ravaging the Turtle Shell Array.
The turtle general’s defensive ability Turtle Shell Array was scattered and smashed under the Ten Million Destinies bombardment, crumbling immediately.
The Mountain Shell barely protected the turtle general’s body, and he withdrew his limbs back into his carapace. Then, the Mountain Shell’s defensive power became a line of water, surprisingly allowing the turtle general to make a clean getaway.
The divine light of the southern array’s pillar promptly dimmed.
The Great Sage Of Overturning Seas did not give chase. Her gaze turned to the central formation of the Crystal Palace. With a step, she immediately pressed the attack.
Qi Lin looked over. As it turned out, there was a commotion in the direction of the Great Sage Of Overturning Seas at the southern array. The Jiao Demon King did not tarry at all in handling the turtle general. Even the Eastern Sea Dragon King could not seize an advantage before her. The Jiao Demon King smoothly defeated the turtle general and broke the southern array.
At the same time, Nezha and Yu The Great easily handled the dragon general guarding the eastern array and the shrimp general at the north. The two divine pillars at those two arrays did not last too long.
The assault on the four arrays was proceeding far more smoothly than Qi Lin had anticipated, which was surprising. Without much time to think Qi Lin moved towards the central array with an escape technique after breaking the western array. The Ocean-calming Divine Needle at the central array was his true objective.
Qi Lin arrived before the Crystal Palace. Then, the Great Sage Of Overturning Seas Jiao Demon King appeared shortly afterwards.
The Crystal Palace was grandiose and vast, radiant and glorious, constructed entirely from crystal, and it was the center of the Dragon Palace. “So long as we break the central array, this Crystal Palace is This Great Sage’s.” The Jiao Demon King chuckled.
Qi Lin grunted.
Although the four arrays were broken, the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array was still active. This formation’s palace-protecting treasure, the Ocean-calming Divine Needle, was the crux.
Nezha and Yu The Great hurried over.
Nezha used the Huntian Ling to destroy the eastern array’s dragon general while Yu The Great’s blue iron staff defeated the shrimp general at the northern array.
The two women stood behind Qi Lin and glanced at each other.
“I never imagined this Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array to be so simple.” Nezha twitched her mouth, feeling that she did not need to exert any strength to topple her opponent.
Yu The Great also felt this was strange.
Upon seeing the central Crystal Palace’s main gate, they suddenly stopped.
The Jiao Demon King disagreed: “Four Divine Names attacked the array simultaneously. The Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array split its power, and without the Eastern Sea Dragon King standing guard over the formation, it naturally can be destroyed with ease.
“Jiao Demon King, you are correct. Let us quickly go seize the Crystal Palace.”
“Hurry, hurry, hurry.”
The four Great Cultivators also rushed over in succession, their greed already impatient.
Qi Lin felt everything seemed to be proceeding too smoothly, but right now, he was unable to voice any further doubts.
After entering the hall, the Waterkin were already scattering in all directions. Everyone arrived in the center easily. Qi Lin noticed the enormous central divine pillar at a glance, which was towering and imposing on the seafloor.
All of a sudden, Qi Lin sensed an intense throbbing in his heart. His blood, cells, and organs seemed to melt together.
A woman stood at the foot of the pillar.
Dragon horns protruded from her head, and her attitude was arrogant.
Qi Lin’s pupils shrank.
“This King has waited a very long time for you…” The woman stroked the Ocean-calming Divine Needle and licked her lips.
Nezha and Yu The Great were taken aback.
“Let us dispatch the karma tribulation here.”
The woman waved her hand. The water screen of the Crystal Palace suddenly solidified like a shell of crystal around it.
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven!!”
The woman grinned happily, and ten blue water dragons gushed out from the ground.
She was none other than the Eastern Sea Dragon King!
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, what Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. There is no monkey here.” Nezha shouted. She stepped onto the Wind Fire Wheels, and without another word, launched the Huntian Ling.
Yu The Great also brandished the Divine Weapon in her hand, “Water Ruler Divine Iron.” The iron staff’s every movement was able to split the water pressure, bringing an enormous force bearing down upon the Crystal Palace.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King spread her fingers, and ten water dragons coiled out of them towards Nezha and Yu The Great like marionettes. The woman’s Divine Energy reached a peak, like she was already High Ancient Divine Realm.
The ten water dragons were unstoppable as they surrounded everyone.
Changxi used the Yin Moon to protect Qi Lin, but she could not withstand the High Ancient Divine Realm Divine Energy. Qi Lin was basically without an opportunity to make a move, for he was surprisingly unable to use his powers.
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, show yourself already. If you want to steal the Ocean-calming Divine Needle, This King wants to take your Destiny to sever karma.” The Eastern Sea Dragon King shouted.
The water dragon rolled, transforming into twelve divine swords.
Whoosh.
A divine sword stabbed straight at Qi Lin’s head.
“Don’t come out, this is a trap.” Qi Lin’s heart suddenly weighed down as he strained with all his might to stop Qi Qi from revealing herself.
But the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s Destiny and Divine Energy attacked, breaking Changxi’s moonlight. Qi Qi could not bear to see her big brother suffer. She roared, and evil qi jolted in all directions, shaking the crystal canopy to the verge of collapse.
“Bang.”
Qi Qi attacked with her staff, using Million Heavenly Soldiers Break to destroy the divine sword.
“Eastern Sea Dragon King, This Great Sage has also waited very long for this day.” Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong bared her teeth and tightly gripped the Meteoric Iron Divine Staff, her gaze fixed on that heaven-support pillar.
“What, another Divine Name?”
Yu The Great and the Four Great Primordial Infants were astounded. They completely did not expect that Qi Lin would have another Divine Name contract besides with Changxi, yet the Jiao Demon King was unperturbed. Instead, a sinister glint in her eye grew increasingly intense.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King laughed aloud.
“Eastern Sea Dragon King, when there are so many of us, we do not fear you.” Changxi sternly said.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King’s laugh became more resounding, more ear-splitting.
“Are you sure that they are not here to handle you?” The Eastern Sea Dragon King retracted her smile, brimming with contempt.
Qi Lin inwardly sighed.
The surroundings were suddenly full of killing intent. The Four Great Primordial Infants and the Jiao Demon King stared at Qi Qi like a tiger would at prey.
The Eastern Sea Dragon King’s next sentence was not a surprise to Qi Lin.
“The Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array was nothing more than a trap to lure you into, you monkey. Today, your ten thousand year Destiny shall be devoured by us, Great Sage Equal Of Heaven!!”

I KNEW we’d have a setup!
Yeah, it sucks that Qi Lin walked right into a trap, but when someone says they want to steal Sun Wukong’s weapon, it’s really obvious that the culprit will be someone related.
