Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 344 The War Begins

High in the sky, a pure white dragon, 20,000 meters long, slowly swam around. Beside it, there were thirteen other dragons of varying lengths, ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 meters in length.

The leading dragon was none other than the old ice dragon that once occupied the frigid polar regions.

At this moment, the three true dragons following behind were communicating with each other.

"What happened to the ancestor?"
Was he injured in the secret realm of the Primordial Divine Mountain?
We have gathered all the demon and intelligent race cultivators from the Frozen Arctic. There are over a million cultivators at the third rank or above, and tens of millions at the first and second ranks.

With the addition of our Ice Dragon clan, we can simply storm in.

"How could a mere bunch of human cultivators possibly stop us?"

"Didn't you hear what Ao Ye and the others said?"

These humans possess a power that threatens our lives.

Our clan does not have a Dragon Transformation Pool, so every member of our clan is extremely precious.

Even if the probability is one in a billion, we shouldn't take the risk lightly.

"I said before, kill that human who uses the power of the stars."

That human's supernatural power has the ability to break through the barrier of the spirit realm. If she is left behind, it will attract more humans from outside the realm.

See, hasn't this come true?

"No matter how many humans there are, they can never occupy the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm that belongs to the True Dragon Clan."

Our dragon race fights for the Vast Sea Spirit Realm, and other true dragon races won't interfere. But if other races try to encroach on the Vast Sea Spirit Realm, countless true dragons will come from the void or other spirit realms to support us.

In contrast, the fact that the human helped us retrieve the core of the Dragon Transformation Pool instead of falling into Ao Tian's hands is extremely important.

We and Aotian sent countless intelligent races into the Dragon Tomb, but only this person was able to be successfully brought out of that space.

Therefore, the ancestor's decision was correct.

The mistake was that Ao Ye and his group were careless. If they had been more vigilant, with the array formations of the Frozen Continent, the human race would have had no chance of conquering the Frozen Polar Regions.

"Didn't Ao Ye say that the formation hidden deep in the earth was interfered with by something and couldn't be activated at all, which allowed the humans to take advantage of the situation?"

"That's right. If we obtain the Dragon Transformation Pool, we won't be far from establishing a Dragon Palace."

In comparison, allowing the human race to temporarily occupy the Frozen Continent is nothing; they can't hold onto it anyway.

The three true dragons were communicating telepathically.

The old ice dragon frowned almost imperceptibly.
"What's going on? Why isn't Nine Heavens Ice Peak responding?"

Could it be that the human race's formation is able to perfectly seal the Nine Heavens Ice Peak?
That's impossible. There are nine kinds of Great Dao power within the Nine Heavens Ice Peak. Even I can't perfectly seal them.

Where did those humans come from? Why are their formations so different from what I remember?

"If this were a normal human cultivator's formation, I would have already broken it and drawn out the power of the Nine Heavens Ice Peak."

With the power of the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, the old ice dragon was confident in dealing with all dangers.

However, without the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, apart from its vast magical power and powerful body, it is not much stronger than other true dragons, and its overall combat power is even inferior to that of the young Nine-Headed Dragon.

The old ice dragon's innate ability is not to fight.

This is also why, when the six dragons descended upon the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm, while the other four true dragons seized the four seas, it only settled in the barren land of the Frozen Polar Region.

Of course, the old ice dragon's supernatural powers are not suited for fighting, but rather for preserving life and prolonging life.

When the six dragons fought for control of the Vast Sea Spirit Realm, one of them was directly thrown into the Dragon Tomb, and it is unknown when it will be able to recover.

The fact that the old ice dragon has remained steadfast despite its countless years of struggle with the four dragon kings demonstrates its extraordinary ability to protect itself.

Nine Heavens Ice Peak is a place of Daoist charm created by the old ice dragon using the essence of the Frozen Continent over countless years, gathering the power of nine kinds of Frozen Dao.

With the power of the nine Great Daos of Frost and its own refined Great Dao, totaling ten kinds of ice-based Great Dao powers, it was not afraid of any Dragon King.

However, without the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, its combat power dropped sharply.

Because it could not communicate with the power of the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, the old ice dragon did not rush to the Frozen Continent.

While the old ice dragon was thinking about something.

The coastline of the icy continent was already in sight, and it immediately stopped.

As it saw the icy continent, it also saw squadrons of menacing-looking warships patrolling the skies above the coastline.

Upon seeing those warships, the old ice dragon knew that it would be difficult for him to quickly reclaim the Frozen Continent.

"You mean, those humans have tens of millions of such powerful warships?"

Old Bing turned his head and transmitted his voice to an ice dragon.

That ice dragon was none other than Ao Ye, one of the three ice dragons that had once intercepted Yi Dong and his group.

"That's right. Originally, there weren't that many, but those humans came too quickly. Almost all the materials in our treasure vault fell into their hands. In just a few decades, they not only built no less than 50 million warships, but also modified and strengthened the formations we left behind."

Without our formation, they would never have been able to set up a defensive formation for the entire continent in such a short time.

However, those warships were not the most powerful. The most powerful were some golden warships that had been infused with immortal gold and were almost completely immune to our attacks.

Fortunately, they didn't have many of those golden warships.

"Ancestor, those warships have basic artillery fire at the fourth level. Their charged artillery fire can even threaten sixth-level demon races. Even our true dragon bodies will be injured if they are hit continuously."

It was precisely because of these warships that the four of us did not launch a sudden counterattack.

The old ice dragon nodded.

“You did the right thing. Although our treasure trove is not as good as the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, the resources inside are still considerable. Those humans can use those resources to quickly build warships, but our demon cultivators need to cultivate for a long time to achieve that.”

If we can't decide the outcome in one decisive battle, it will be difficult for us to reclaim the Frozen Lands.

An ice dragon said:
"We can't take it back, but the Four Seas Dragon Palace wouldn't want the Frozen Polar Regions to be occupied by humans, would it?"

Moreover, even without you, Ancestor, the chilling energy of Nine Heavens Ice Peak could freeze the entire Spirit Realm. The Four Seas Dragon Palace wouldn't stand idly by for that alone." Old Ice didn't answer, but it knew that the Four Seas Dragon Palace probably wouldn't help it this time.

Because compared to letting humans occupy the Frozen Polar Regions, building a fifth Dragon Palace in the Frozen Polar Regions was even more unacceptable to the dragon clans of the four seas.

If I hadn't brought the Dragon Transformation Pool out of the Dragon Tomb this time, the Four Seas Dragon Palace might have helped me.

However, now that the Dragon Transformation Pool has appeared, if I could obtain it, I could build a new Dragon Palace in the icy polar regions.

None of the four Dragon Kings wanted a new Dragon Palace to be established in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm.

This is also why the Four Seas Dragon Palace has remained inactive since the Dragon Tomb was closed.

As for the issue of the cold energy of heaven and earth, so much time has passed that the Four Seas Dragon Palace must have made relevant preparations long ago and has no reason to worry that the cold energy of heaven and earth could destroy the Vast Sea Spirit Realm.

"This time, we not only need to expel the humans from the Frozen Continent, but also consider how to defend against the attacks of the Four Seas Dragon Palace."

The old ice dragon pondered this and began trying to contact the nine-headed dragon, only to discover that the nine-headed dragon's main body seemed to still be inside the dragon tomb, making it impossible to contact it.

So, the old ice dragon activated a magical artifact and began to contact Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea.

“Ao Guang, let Ao Tian enter the Vast Sea Spirit Realm. This invasion by the extraterrestrial human race is because of it. We cannot let it remain uninvolved.”

Beyond the mists of Dragon Island.

Four enormous dragons, each 30,000 meters long, were circling high in the sky.

Suddenly, one of the golden dragons hovered, as if pondering something.

After a long while, the golden dragon began to move its body and look at the other three true dragons that were watching it.

"Ao Shan wanted Ao Tian to help it, but I refused."

"Oh, are those humans on the Frozen Continent really that strong?"

You should know that Ao Tian and Ao Shan each refined half of the Dragon Transformation Pool. Now that Ao Tian is being held back by us, and the core of the Dragon Transformation Pool is also on the Frozen Continent, this is very advantageous for Ao Shan.

And it actually wanted to let Ao Tian, ​​who was competing with it for the Dragon Transformation Pool, in.

"That's right. In terms of strength, without the Nine Heavens Ice Peak, Ao Shan probably couldn't beat Ao Tian."

It wouldn't have allowed Ao Tian to enter the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm if there hadn't been a real reason.

It seems those extraterrestrial humans are indeed more troublesome than we imagined.

Ao Guang said:

"It's probably not that the human race is strong, but rather that Ao Shan wanted to expel the human race while retaining the power to protect the Frozen Arctic."

"In those frigid polar regions, few creatures can adapt to that environment. If this war cripples them, how will they resist our Four Seas Dragon Palace?"

"Then did you agree?"

"Of course, I can't agree to that."

However, Ao Shan probably knew I wouldn't agree now, so he didn't say much to me.

It contacted me, probably wanting to let me know the situation in advance so we could let Ao Tian in at the right time.

"The right time?"

I understand. If that opportunity really arises, letting Ao Tian in wouldn't be a problem.

The coastline of the icy continent.

The tides, thousands of meters high, crashed against the continent, giving the impression that they would sink it to the bottom of the sea.

The simple towns near the coast shone with a dazzling light.

The array's light, like threads or arrows, shot into the tide, calming the waves and killing the lurking sea monsters.

Countless sea beasts surged out of the tide and attacked the simple cities along the coastline.

Those cities are the core of the formation.

Soon, city after city was submerged by sea monsters.

However, as the sea monsters advanced, they encountered more and more cities.

Meanwhile, the seawater automatically turns into ice crystals after entering the icy continent for a hundred miles.

Without seawater, the strength of many sea beasts decreased sharply, and they were gradually stopped by the formation.

In the sky, warship fleets, various flying demonic beasts, and numerous powerful demons were fighting desperately. Warships crashed down from time to time, but more often, various demonic beasts were torn to pieces by the warships.

The sky and the ground became a meat grinder the moment the war began, and countless lives were lost.

At Purple Mountain, Yi Dong felt slightly relieved after seeing that the Nine Heavens Ice Peak had stopped shaking.

"It seems that the Primordial Purple Apricot's ability to transform the world is far superior to that of the Great Awakening Puppet."

It's unknown when it will be able to move the center of the Frozen Continent from the Nine Heavens Ice Peaks to Purple Gold Mountain.

Thinking it over, Yi Yan used magic to control the magical artifact.

Immediately, scenes of various battlefields appeared on the magic weapon's screen.

Yi Dong looked around but couldn't find the Ice Dragon, or even the powerful dragon-born monsters on the battlefield.

This was also within Yi Dong's expectations.

If the ice dragons were truly so foolish as to appear on the battlefield early on, allowing the Great Awakening Puppet to analyze their supernatural abilities, then this battle might very well have resulted in the killing of several true dragons.

Suddenly, Yi Dong looked at a magical artifact screen.

"Oh, a human cultivator from the icy polar regions?"

That makes sense.
