The waves surged over the Eastern Sea, and tsunamis wildly swelled. Countless cultivators were frozen on the beach, showing expressions of terror.
This was the first time they had seen such treacherous changes.
“Your Highness Ao Bing, is the Dragon Palace truly alright?” Madam Fan was a bit worried. She had lived in Dragon King Town for centuries. Even when the Great Sage Of Returning Seas Dragon Demon King came to the Eastern Sea and caused trouble, she had never seen such a situation.
“Are you doubting Mother’s capabilities?” Ao Bing coldly stared at her.
Madam Fan fearfully apologized and immediately said, “Your Servant does not dare.”
“That monkey is the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven, after all. She was quite capable even in the Primal Chaos period, it is only nature that she can cause some trouble. In the end, this is a deathbed struggle.” Ao Bing continued: “But Mother has already placed a trap for that monkey. Sun Wukong will not escape.”
She had hardly finished when, all of a sudden, countless bubbles of blood frothed in the blue Eastern Sea, forming a patch of red.
The perilous situation became a terrible rain of blood. The cultivators on Dragon King Island were horrified by the scene they witnessed before their eyes.
The Eastern Sea was hallowed, its crystals flawless.
Yet at this moment, it was as foul as the underworld’s sea of blood, a situation unprecedented for the past thousand years.
Third Prince of the Dragon King, Ao Bing, who had been engrossed in the banquet, was shocked. “This is bad, Mother is in trouble.” Without another thought, the woman dove into the Eastern Sea, yet the others did not dare submerge. Even Madam Fan and Yu Xu were ashen-faced.
“Could it be this Dragon Palace has been massacred!”
…
Yu Yuan stood atop the Crystal Palace, her body trembling, her hair disheveled.
The millions of blood pearls slowly shattered, then melted into the sea and dissipated.
The woman stared straight at the girl in front of her, at her purple crown and golden armor, her flapping cloak and awe-inspiring might, at that pair of golden eyes filled with arrogance. Yu Yuan strained with all her might to use the Blood Transformation Divine Blade’s power, but she could no longer muster any more Divine Energy; all her strength had already gone up in smoke.
“I painstakingly bided my time in the Eastern Sea for centuries, all the while waiting for your Destiny, Great Sage Equal Of Heaven…But it is regrettable that I never thought that you would sign a contract with a man, Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong…” Yu Yuan glanced at Qi Lin down below. Her gaze was filled with unfathomable hatred, jealousy, and every other kind of complex emotion. If not for Qi Lin helping Sun Wukong fight for time and waste some of her Divin Energy, her plan to let the Eastern Sea Dragon King and Great Sage Equal Of Heaven take each other out would have succeeded.
“I lost to him, not to you.” Yu Yuan was unresigned.
“Hmph, of course you were no match for Big Brother.” Qi Qi scoffed and arrogantly declared.
Yu Yuan sighed. She never thought that an Emissary, which Divine Generals disdained, could be so capable, but it was a pity she was unable to feel anything more. In the depths of her powerlessness, Yu Yuan fell. The Blood Transformation Divine Blade lost its light and dropped from the sky, sticking into the ground in front of Qi Lin.
This divine blade emitted a mournful cry, its blood-light flickering.
Only when Qi Lin stepped forward and grasped it did the noise finally cease.
The Blood Transformation Divine Blade was not only the Approaching Heaven magic treasure that Yu Yuan’s Destiny had refined, Divine Weapons on its level would not disappear even after the Divine General fell, as with the Ruyi Jingu Bang. However, some karma would linger on in the Divine Weapon, and the bearer would be subject to a karma tribulation.
This type of karmic power was the will of the heavenly way; not even a sage could control it.
Qi Lin held the Divine Blade over his wound, and the power of the karma tribulation poured into his mind. After a brief moment of pain, he slowly regained his composure.
“Big Brother.”
Qi Qi was clad in golden armor and a cape, bearing the momentum of a dragon and stride of a tiger, majestic and heroic.
Qi Lin was relieved to see she was unhurt.
“Great Sage Equal Of Heaven Sun Wukong, hee, hee. I never imagined you would appear. Trade a few blows with Nezha.” Nezha stirred restlessly.
“Hmph, wait until your wounds are better.” Qi Qi was disdainful.
Then, the girls stepped into the Crystal Palace proper. The glowing Ruyi Jingu Bang was then aimed at Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang. So long as she willed it, Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang would also die under her staff, and the magnificent Crystal Palace would belong to her.
“Sun Wukong, you truly should not have seized the Ocean-calming Divine Pillar. You will regret this.” Ao Guang forcefully said.
“The Ocean-calming Divine Pillar is This Old Sun’s Divine Weapon, and This Old Sun never regrets. But it is actually you, Eastern Sea Dragon King, who vainly believed that she could take advantage of This Old Sun’s Destined Divine Weapon. You have only yourself to blame for falling to your current state. You almost kiled my big brother, so today, you will pay the price.” Sun Wukong lifted the Ruyi Jingu Bang and swung it down towards Ao Guang’s head.
“Qi Qi, stop.”
A gentle voice stopped her.
Eastern Sea Dragon King Ao Guang had already closed her eyes and waited for death. Hearing this voice, she opened her eyes. The speaker was none other than the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven’s Divine Emissary, Qi Lin.
“Big Brother, she hurt you and Changxi. This Old Sun cannot forgive her.” Sun Wukong growled.
“This is merely a karma tribulation. Everything’s alright as long as we’re safe. Little Sister, now that you have your Divine Weapon, you’ve severed the karma. There is no need to be ruthless. Ao Guang was also merely following orders.” Qi Lin shook his head.
The girl pursed her lips but remained silent.
“We don’t have much time. Let’s go.” Qi Lin did not want variables to appear.
“Your ought to be thankful that Big Brother spared your life.” Qi QI retracted the Ruyi Jingu Bang.
“This King will repay him…For this life…Most certainly.” Ao Guang pushed each word through grit teeth.
“I’ll be waiting.” Qi Lin replied.
Then, the group fled from the Eastern Sea.
“Lord Mother.”
Ao Bing returned to the Dragon Palace and was immediately horrified by the scene that greeted her.
More than half of the splendid Dragon Palace’s chain of buildings were already rubble, and a majority of the magnificent palaces and pavilions were ruins. The Waterkin casualties were innumerable, a complete shambles. The palace-protecting treasure, the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array, was also destroyed.
The woman was frantic. When she saw the Eastern Sea Dragon King recuperating in the Crystal Palace, she finally calmed down.
Since Mother was here, that meant she had taken that monkey’s Destiny in the end.
“That Great Sage Equal Of Heaven is this powerful? Not only did she break the Heaven-connecting Ocean-calming Array, they nearly destroyed the Dragon Palace. Even Mother has been seriously wounded.” Ao Bing did not dare believe this.
Ao Guang was indifferent, offering no reply.
“Congratulations, Mother, on obtaining Sun Wukong’s Destiny. Mother will undoubtedly be one of the ‘Gods Of The Seven Seas.'” Ao Bing promptly congratulated her.
“Hmph, issue the order that the Dragon Palace is to enter seclusion for ten years. Now, leave. This King wants a proper rest.”
Ao Guang waved her hand, sending Ao Bing out of the Crystal Palace.
Ao Bing was utterly confused.
“What is the matter, why is Mother not happy in the slightest?”
“Your Highness is unaware, but that monkey not only seized the Ocean-calming Divine Pillar, she also slayed Universe Origin One Qi Immortal Water Mansion God Yu Yuan. The Great King’s karma tribulation was a failure.” A Waterkin minister painfully answered.
Ao Bing was astonished.
“How can this be!!”
The minister recounted the events, and Ao Bing’s expression became incomparably unsightly.
“Just who is this man of the Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. He actually was able to assist Sun Wukong in severing karma.”
“He spared the Great King’s life.”
“Hmph, spare? This was humiliation, and the matter will not end like this.”
Ao Bing clenched her fist, and the fires of hatred burned in her eyes.
…
After exiting the sea and flying ten thousand li away, the party landed on an island.
Qi Lin was still carrying the unconscious Changxi. She had been wounded by the Blood Transformation Divine Blade, the toxin of which was affecting her relatively significantly. She would not be able to recover with time; she needed immortal medicine.
“That we were able to let QI Qi obtain the Jingu Bang this time was all thanks to your help, you two. On behalf of my little sister, I sincerely thank you. In the future, please feel free to ask us for assistance.” Qi Lin showed his gratitude towards Nezha and Yu The Great. This mission to break the formation could be said to be fraught with peril. Not only did they fall for the Eastern Sea Dragon King’s scheme, they were also ambushed by Yu Yuan. If not for Nezha and Yu The Great standing by his side at the critical moment, the results would have been too terrible to imagine.
Primordial World’s Divine Generals were deities, but the danger level had been unfathomable.
“Hmph, I, Nezha, despise scheming wretches the most.” Nezha snorted.
“Yu The Great also said: “Yu helped her only because I have a request in return.”
“Does it concern controlling the waters?” Qi Lin asked.
“Yes. Yu’s country is suffering from a flood. Originally I wanted to seize the Ocean-calming Divine Needle, but since it is Sun Wukong’s Destined weapon, Yu would like to request that the two of you lend your aid.” Yu The Great suddenly knelt and adopted an attitude of entreaty.
Qi Lin was astonished and promptly lifted her up. “Lady Yu, there is no need for this. You saved our lives. Qi Qi and I will certainly help you, but Qi Qi hates water very much, so I cannot guarantee that I will be able to help you for sure.” Qi Lin was in quite a predicament.
“She hates water?” Yu The Great was taken aback.
“En.”
“Regardless, Yu still requests the two of you go take a look.”
“We will.”
“Nezha, what are you preparing to do now. Has your karma tribulation been severed?” Qi Lin asked.
“Ah, my karma was already severed. Hee, hee, pity it seems that it was not very powerful. Of course, Nezha wants to accompany you.” Little Nezha put on an innocent and adorable grin: “Sun Wukong is my idol. I want to duel her once I’m better. Master did not instruct Me to return and recover once My karma was severed, anyways.”
“Good.” Qi Lin thought this was fine. Nezha was quite capable, and since she did not have very big schemes, she was worth association.
“Time is short. Let us go to Beimang, then, but how long will that take? I’m a bit worried about Changxi’s condition. I’ll need to temporarily control this Blood Transformation Divine Blade and help Changxi concoct a medicine to dispel that poison.” Qi Lin pondered.
“Not long, Yu has already ordered people to wait for us.”
“Then let’s set out immediately.”

Gotta l9ve them wild cards! And yeah, Yu Yuan wasted too much MP. I didn’t r4al8ze the depths of her scheme but my point stands. The battle was a wash for her when you blow your skills 9n everybody else. Ah, but Qi Lin playing the Chekov’s Gun to even let that happen in the first place really sh9ws how him just be8ng around is like her having the best good luck charm ever. I’m j7st glad their relationship is so mutually beneficial. Still w8sh they had somebody like Wu Xinjie on their side. Her b7ffs and brains were TOP TIER
Closest we have is Changxi, but I think she’s more like a dedicated healer rather than a general support.
