If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 19 The Terrifying Aura of Calamity

In the Crystal Palace of the East Sea, the First Emperor sat high on his throne, his dazzling divine light illuminating all directions.

Ao Bai led Xuanwu into the palace, where many dragon kings arrived.

"Aoli!"

Ao Bai immediately spotted the Black River Dragon King Ao Li, the Jing River Dragon King Ao Wu beside him, and the dragon prince Ao Fang.

Ao Li had already seen Ao Bai, and upon hearing the other speak, he couldn't help but smile sinisterly and said:

"Ao Bai, this is not a place for a weakling like you. Don't lose your life without even knowing it!"

Ao Bai looked at the other group; they were clearly prepared to deal with him, but Ao Bai wasn't worried about anything.

He looked at Ao Li and smiled:

"You're nothing but a stray dog, yet you dare to bark at me. I advise you to go back home as soon as possible, lest you die an unjust death."

Upon hearing this, Ao Li's face instantly darkened. He had indeed been forced to leave the Black River Water Mansion because he was wary of Ao Bai's great formation, and this had always been a source of pain for him.

Now, Ao Bai is deliberately reopening his wounds in order to completely enrage Ao Li.

An angry enemy is obviously easier to deal with than a calm one.

"Ao Bai, you just wait! Once you leave the Henghe Water Mansion, I'll see how you die!"

Ao Li snorted angrily, then turned and left with his son.

In Ao Li's opinion, Ao Bai's own strength was insignificant. If it weren't for the protection of the great formation, he could have wiped him out with one hand.

Unfortunately, this is the East China Sea, and Ao Li dares not act arrogantly here.

Watching Ao Li and the others leave, Xuanwu said softly:

"Your Highness, these men are ignorant and arrogant. Their strength is no match for our great formation."

Xuanwu knew very well how powerful Ao Bai's "Hun Tian Si Hai Gui Shui Da Zhen" was, so he was very disdainful of Ao Li and the others' provocation.

If they really let loose and fought, Xuanwu believed that he could destroy the opponent without Ao Bai even having to lift a finger.

The power of the formation is inherently strong, and it has few rivals among those of the same level.

Moreover, Ao Li and Ao Wu were only at the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and their strength was indeed quite ordinary.

"They're just a few clowns, no need to worry about them. If they anger me, I'll wipe them out together."

Ao Bai remained nonchalant; he truly never took these people to heart.

His targets are the Three Pure Ones, Taiyi, Dijun, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

What mere River Dragon King? He's not even worth Ao Bai's attention.

The two entered the Crystal Palace together, where beautiful maids had already arranged their seating. Ao Bai and Xuanwu deliberately found a corner at the back, keeping a low profile.

At this moment, Ao Li was gathered with several powerful cultivators. He was in a fawning manner, with a sycophantic expression, and was talking to them. The other party even glanced at Ao Bai a few times.

Ao Bai keenly noticed this: the few people who were gathered with Ao Li were actually all powerful experts at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

"Ao Bai is nothing special, only at the Earth Immortal Realm. He's not worth our time."

"Fellow Daoist Ao Li, you are really confused. You could have dealt with such a weakling yourself."

The two Great Immortals scoffed at him; they had no interest in Ao Bai whatsoever.

Slaughtering the weak undermines their dignity.

If it were an evenly matched opponent, they would be happy to fight, but unfortunately Ao Bai is only at the Earth Immortal Realm, which is far too weak.

Ao Bai didn't pay much attention to the other party. He sat in his seat and waited for the Ancestral Dragon to summon him.

Not long after, the figure of the First Emperor appeared in the main hall.

Ao Bai immediately stood up and joined the others in paying their respects.

"Greetings, Ancestor!"

Many powerful figures paid homage, and the figure of the Ancestral Dragon was fully revealed.

His figure was tall and strong, imposing and extraordinary, his aura dominating all directions, and his superior demeanor inspiring awe.

"My lords, today we will muster our army and march on the Undying Volcano to annihilate the Phoenix Clan in one fell swoop. When the primordial world is unified, we will be the number one race in the primordial world!"

The words of the First Dragon excited the dragons. After fighting for hundreds of thousands of years, they were finally about to usher in their greatest victory. For a moment, the crowd was excited and their morale was high.

Ao Bai was somewhat infected by this momentum. If he hadn't known the fate of the three races in advance, he probably would have believed the words of the Ancestral Dragon.

Seeing Xuanwu beside him, who was equally excited, Ao Bai felt a chill in his heart. This guy had probably been infected as well.

"Robbery energy!"

Ao Bai hurriedly reminded himself that this situation must be caused by the aura of the Great Tribulation affecting everyone's minds.

Xuanwu was originally an outsider, but once he arrived here, he was already being corrupted by the calamity energy, which invisibly affected all his thoughts.

"The aura of a great calamity is truly terrifying."

Ao Bai sighed, realizing he dared not be careless in the slightest and constantly reminded himself to be careful.

As a time traveler, he knew the future course of events, which was a huge advantage. It was precisely because of this that Ao Bai was able to maintain his original mind and not be completely devoured by the great calamity.

"However, if I manage to survive this time, there will definitely be a huge reward in the future."

Ao Bai was also very much looking forward to it; the greater the risk, the greater the reward, that much was clear.

This time, he personally participated in the great calamity of the three races, and his level of involvement far exceeded that of the past. Moreover, this time the entire dragon race was mobilized, making the scale unprecedented.

"It seems the First Emperor intended to achieve victory in one battle. What a pity!"

Ao Bai shook his head repeatedly. He felt nothing at all about Zu Long's mobilization efforts. On the contrary, the other dragons were all in high spirits and extremely excited.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the First Emperor gave another order:

"Everyone, go back and prepare yourselves, and follow my orders. We will set off on a chosen day and head straight for the Immortal Volcano!"

Zulong was full of confidence. This time, he not only mobilized the dragon army, but also secretly negotiated with Shi Qilin to launch an attack together and destroy the phoenix clan.

However, the First Dragon was unaware that the First Qilin was secretly meeting with the Phoenix Ancestor, and the two were discussing how to deal with the Dragon Clan.

The Dragon Clan is the dominant force, and during the three-clan struggle for supremacy, they can restrain each other. However, once the Phoenix Clan is destroyed, only the Qilin Clan will be left to face the Dragon Clan.

At that time, the Qilin clan will be powerless to resist, and without reinforcements, they will only face annihilation.

Therefore, while outwardly allying with the Dragon Clan, the First Qilin secretly maintained an ambiguous relationship with the Phoenix Clan. He clearly intended to play both sides, hoping to wipe out both the Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan and then dominate the world alone.

These three patriarchs are all extremely shrewd individuals, but it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.

Ao Bai was currently making the most of his time to refine the Sea-Stabilizing Divine Pearl. He was rapidly refining his earliest divine pearl bit by bit, and now he had finally succeeded in opening up the internal space.

"It's done!"

Ao Bai was overjoyed. Sensing the internal space of the Sea-Stabilizing Pearl, he secretly thought he was lucky.

The three Sea-Stabilizing Pearls could attract and merge with each other, which to some extent helped Ao Bai refine them, allowing him to successfully open the inner space.

This space is very spacious, enough for all ten million aquatic creatures to enter.
