But it was important to know that he was actually in the Lower Realm!
Could the Lower Realm compare with the Immortal Realm? Otherwise, how could it be possible that the Immortal Realm would be encroaching into the Lower Realm? Rather, it would be the Lower Realm encroaching into the Immortal Realm.
Given that the period of one year previously agreed upon with the Sea Race was up, Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue packed up with the intention of making a trip to the north sea. Firstly, it was to take a look at their son. Secondly, it was to visit Helian Tianyun to see what kind of new accomplishments he had.
Ling Dong Xing wanted to go together with Helian Xun Xue to see his grandson. That being the case, Ling Han brought both of them. Anyway, the Black Tower was so big that it could accommodate them even if there were more people.
Hu Niu naturally couldn’t be left behind. The little girl was becoming more feminine, and her chest was beginning to show some slight undulation. Sometimes, she would learn to act coquettish like Zhu Xuan Er, which Ling Han found to be quite hilarious.
Rabbit said that he had not been to the sea, and was taken along as well. Rock Spirit had already been back since long ago; this time, it had also set out with them on the trip, responsible for being Hu Niu’s mount. It had been continuously receiving the essence of earth within Black Tower, and had crossed over the last step to reach the Shattering Void Tier in advance of the others.
This was unimaginable in the past. From the Flower Blossom to Shattering Void Tier, how many spirit stones did one need to absorb?
Lord Rock is indeed smart, and followed the right owner! it thought, a simple-minded expression on its face. Despite being a Shattering Void Tier elite, it was as docile as a dog in front of Hu Niu.
Everyone set out, heading towards the sea.
Before entering the north region, Ling Han went to take a look at the ancient mining area. The black mist there was like a vast ocean, which had completely swallowed up the original capital of Fire Country.
This was a hidden danger.
Ling Han thought that the first thing he would do after stepping into the Shattering Void Tier would be to raze this place.
They entered the sea, and rushed to Dome Cloud Island. The journey was very smooth all the way, and it took them just four days to reach the destination. It was also because the strength of both Ling Han and Hu Niu had progressed to another level, and thus their speed was naturally faster.
“Who’s there?!” Guards soaring through the sky stopped Ling Han and the others.
“Seventh Princess! Consort!” When they saw the appearance of Ling Han and the others, they became respectful, and made their salutations.
Helian Xun Xue waved her hand, and said, “No need to stand on ceremony, where is the king?”
“Currently inside the palace.”
Helian Xun Xue naturally didn’t need them to lead the way. As she missed her son dearly, she impatiently flew all the way. The moment she entered the Royal Palace, she only saw that Helian Rong was holding a little boy and playing with him in full eagerness. “Call grandfather! Call grandfather!”
“Big one! Big one!” The little boy grabbed the ear of Helian Rong, and clapped his hands.
“It’s grandfather, not Big One!” Helian Rong was saying frantically. This little kid was already able to talk for a few months now, but only engrossed in calling him ‘big one’—it really made him feel extremely anxious.
Both Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue flew down, which made Helian Rong jumped in fright. Currently, his mind was completely focused on Ling Jian Xue, putting all his hope on the other party to call him ‘grandfather’. Who would have thought that Ling Han and the others would suddenly appear.
“Father! Mother!” Ling Jian Xue suddenly shouted, and scampered over to them.
“Pu!” Helian Rong suddenly spewed out a mouthful of blood. He had already lost count of how many times he had taught the little rascal who would only go calling him “big one” instead of addressing him as “grandfather”. He’d never thought that when Ling Han and Helian Xun Xue arrived, the little rascal would actually address them properly.
Damn it!
Helian Xun Xue was happy yet regretful; she wasn’t able to teach her son call them ‘mother’ and ‘father’. It was her son who had learned it himself. She hugged her son, and said, “Good son, mother will no longer be apart from you!”
She no longer cared about anything. Her only thought was not to be separated from her son.
“Hahaha, damn brat. You are finally here!” Helian Tianyun also flew in. In the past one year, he had indeed stepped into the Heaven Tier; his dragon’s might had gotten somewhat stronger, though the change wasn’t too drastic. After all, he had originally reached his peak state, and improvement would thus naturally be limited.
Although Ling Han also missed his son very much, he was more pleased to see the change in his son. The little boy had yet to reach two years old, but his brute force had already reached the peak of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier. His progress was truly amazing.
“What is the current situation of the four seas?” he asked, naturally taking care of serious matters first.
Helian Tianyun very proudly puffed up his chest, and said, “Now, the four seas are all under the control of This Lord. More than half of the Sea Race of the central sea have also sworn allegiance to this lord. You’ve come at just the right time. I intend to attack the Sea Emperor in a few days’ time. Come and join in the fun.”
Dragon’s might really came in handy. With so many Shattering Void Tier cultivators among the Sea Race, most have already been conquered by a little boy who was presently still in the Heaven Tier.
Ling Han smiled, and said, “Okay, it would be good to observe and gain knowledge first-hand.”
Under the True Dragon’s might of Helian Tianyun, most of the Sea Race had chosen to stand under his banner. However, the imperial family was naturally unwilling to lay down their weapons and surrender. They even had the backing of the Immortal Realm, and thus would naturally fight him to the end.
However, although there were many elites among the imperial family, it wouldn’t be more than the numbers of all the four seas. This obstacle was as good as removed.
After three days of preparation, the army was dispatched. There were elites continuously joining the army. The number of Shattering Void Tier cultivators was more than 300. This was because some of the Shattering Void Tier cultivators actually had to stand guard and oversee their clans. Otherwise, bringing together 400 of them wouldn’t be an issue at all.
The ancestral homes of the royal clans of the four seas were all on the island. The only exception was the imperial family. Their ancestral land was in the deep sea, within a strait, surrounded by super-large sea beasts. Although they had not developed intelligence and had zero cultivation knowledge, with their extremely formidable physique and brute force, their battle prowess had reached fifteen Stars.
They were the natural guardians of the imperial family—the most powerful guardians that could tear to pieces any Shattering Void Tier cultivators who firmly charged forward.
However, in front of Helian Tianyun, these sea beasts were completely powerless.
The reason the imperial family could use them as guards was because these sea beasts would be affected by dragon’s might. Such dragon’s might had to be extremely pure; the level of might such as Helian Rong’s wouldn’t have any effect at all.
But, who was Helian Tianyun? He was the alternative dragon from millennia ago, and had even cultivated a True Dragon’s Fang! Now that he had obtained a second lifetime through the True Dragon’s Fang, his dragon’s might was even stronger than in his last life. Therefore, with a single thought of his, these sea beasts would retreat one after another.
In front, there was an extremely huge strait.
“How dare you offend the imperial family. Do you all know your crime?” A cold voice was heard from within the strait.
Chapter 849
- Miscalculation
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The sound lifted the stream, and emitted powerful dragon’s might, making everyone’s body tremble and almost fall to their knees.
To the Sea Race, bloodline was extremely important.
It was similar to how a human Spiritual Infant Tier elite could write a law decree to suppress Spiritual Pedestal Tier warriors to the point where they couldn’t move. Fortunately, the kings among martial artists could still resist such coercive pressure. However, amongst the Sea Race, superior bloodline overpowered all.
Previously, Helian Tianyun was only in the Gushing Spring Tier, yet Helian Rong and Wenren Jie were both suppressed to the point of kneeling immediately, and it was the same now.
Helian Tianyun snorted, and walked in front with his hands behind his back. He was clearly a little kid, but his expression was full of arrogance of an old expert. He said, “This Lord is here, hurry up and have Ao Xing Bo get the hell out here to greet me!”
“Boy, how dare you be disrespectful to the sea emperor?” that voice said coldly.
“Haha, don’t pull this useless nonsense. The Sea Race is a place where bloodline is looked upon. This Lord’s ancestral blood is pure, who dares not to respect This Lord?” Helian Tianyun sneered.
“Hehe, you also know that the Sea Race’s a place where bloodline is stressed?” With a sneer, a hundred or so people walked out from the strait.
These people all wore dragon robes, and emitted powerful presences.
They were all in the Shattering Void Tier, and with true dragon’s blood that was extremely pure, far surpassing Helian Rong, Xianyu Tong, and the like.
It wasn’t without reason that Ao Family could unite the four seas.
“Get the hell over here and greet This Lord, will you?” Helian Tianyu said loftily. Although it was an expedition this time, it was basically impossible for a battle to take place. Once his dragon might was unleashed, it would be a complete one-sided crush.
So, he was just going through the motions.
He activated his dragon’s might, and attacked at Ao Family’s side.
Weng , as the dragon’s might activated, many people in the Ao Family were like the four sea’s royal family previously, shivering and almost kneeling.
Helian Tianyun walked on airs. He turned around, and said to Ling Jian Xue, “Disciple, see that? This Lord’s just that kickass!”
“Hmph!” With a sneer, a youngster walked out, unaffected by Helian Tianyun’s dragon’s might. He said indifferently, “You’re just a fake dragon, I’m the true dragon!”
Hong , he also spread his dragon’s might. A presence no inferior to Helian Tianyun’s swept by, and instantly, the four sea’s royal families all lost their battle power.
Ling Han frowned, and directly put Helian Xun Xue into the Black Tower. Although her blood was very pure, it was far from reaching the heights of Helian Tianyun, and she couldn’t even stand firmly now.
… Ling Dong Xing and Yue Hong Chang obviously entered the Black Tower after entering the sea region.
“What?!” Helian Tianyun was shocked. This youngster was actually unaffected by his dragon’s might, and emitted a dragon’s might no inferior to his!
How could that be!?
He cultivated to the height of an alternative dragon countless years ago, and at last was reborn through a tooth of a True Dragon. In terms of dragon’s might alone, at least in the vast lands, there was no dragon race that could match him.
Where did someone who had the power of bloodline that could rival him come from?
“From the immortal realm?” Ling Han interrupted.
… Since the five sects could send people down, why couldn’t the Ao Family?
“Smart!” that youngster said with a smile. He looked handsome, and even had a heroic charm; two dragon horns grew on top of his head, emitting an ancient and noble presence.
“Horns of a True Dragon!” Helian Tianyun was stern. He was nourished and reborn through the tooth of a True Dragon, and was obviously extremely sensitive to a True Dragon’s presence.
No wonder the opponent could oppose him, so it turned out that it was a True Dragon’s descendant from the immortal realm!
Ling Han was moved within—horns of a True Dragon? Heavenly Emperor of Thunder and Fire wanted him to gather four divine items, and wasn’t one of them True Dragon’s horns? Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I cut off and throw them to that guy, will I be able to get a Mystical Power in return?
“Hehe, truly the frog at the bottom of a well!” The young man shook his head, his expression full of disdain. “Beneath the divine level, how is it possible to reach a True Dragon’s level? Only those who achieve the Genesis Tier are qualified to be called True Dragons!”
Pah!
Ling Han’s mouth instantly twitched. A dragon had to be in the Genesis Tier to be called a True Dragon? In a similar fashion, a phoenix had to be in the Genesis Tier to be called a True Phoenix? Then how would he get True Dragon’s horn and heavenly phoenix feathers?
If he really could obtain it, then he would definitely be at the cultivation of the Genesis Tier. This would mean he was the top elite in the divine realm, so would he still need to learn Heavenly Emperor of Thunder and Fire’s Mystical Power?
Sh*t, no wonder this guy wasn’t willing to see people with his real face—was he afraid that he’d be cursed?
Helian Tianyun was also somewhat shocked, and even more so couldn’t accept it at the moment. He thought his blood was already extremely pure, and could completely be seen as a True Dragon. He sneered, “Don’t spread rumors to deceive people! Where’s the brat? Hurry up and pay respects to This Lord!”
He only looked five to six years old, yet called the other person a brat, not knowing shame.
“I’m called Ao Jian!” The young man’s expression was calm, appearing unhurried. In terms of demeanor alone, Helian Tianyun who had already lived one lifetime was really hard to rival.
“The Sea Race measures superiority with bloodline. Now, the degree your and my bloodline’s purity is the same, so we’ll determine the winner through strength!
Helian Tianyun looked towards Ling Han, somewhat dumbfounded.
Those words obviously made sense. The Sea Race obviously first compared bloodline, but what if bloodline purity was about the same? Then they’d compare strength! Just like Helian Rong and Wenren Jie—their bloodlines had somewhat of a gap between them, but couldn’t form an overwhelming advantage, so fighting was the way.
But the problem was, this Ao Jian… he was f*cking Shattering Void Tier elite!
Fight for what? If the battle started, Helian Tianyun would definitely die.
Ling Han couldn’t help but admit that they took the wrong path on this turn, underestimating the immortal realm.
He’d thought that it would be smooth like with the five sects. It wouldn’t matter if the immortal realm’s people came—geniuses with battle prowess of Shattering Void Tier twenty stars were also extremely rare, but they would still be swept away by Ma Duobao.
Although Helian Tianyun’s Tier dropped, his bloodline was noble, and he proved it constantly along the way, but now… all was going to be reversed.
If Helian Tianyu died in a battle, the Sea Race would obviously return under the control of the Ao Family. It would be extremely effortless—a simple fight.
Shattering Void Tier versus Heaven Tier—was there any suspense? The five sects could send Shattering Void Tier eighteen stars’ geniuses, why couldn’t the Ao Family do it?
F*ck!
Ling Han immediately shook his head at Helian Tianyun. No matter whether it was him or Helian Tianyun, what the two of them lacked the most was time. As long as they were given two to three years’ time, no, possibly one year, they would be able to become the strongest existences in the world, unafraid of anyone.
They definitely couldn’t start a war now—fighting would only lead to death.
Helian Tian
yu nodded at Ling Han, expressing his agreement with Ling Han’s view.
Ling Han transmitted a few words with the divine sense to Helian Rong, then stored the Rabbit, Rock Spirit, and Hu Niu into the Black Tower, and then grabbed Helian Tianyun, taking to his heels.
Of course he’d run. If not run, was he going to stay for tea?
Everyone was taken aback—why would he run all of a sudden?
Helian Rong received Ling Han’s voice transmission, and reacted the fastest. He immediately said, “Fake True Dragon, don’t run!” However, he was suppressed by Ao Jian’s dragon’s might and unable to give chase at all, and could only shout for show.
The four seas’ royal families finally reacted, and joined the group of denouncers.
It couldn’t be helped—the Sea Race decided everything with bloodline, so they could only resolutely indicate their position so as to avoid the imperial family settling accounts afterwards. This was also why Ling Han had Helian Rong denounce him.
Helian Rong could run, but the Helian Family couldn’t.

Ling Han and Helian Tianyun ran. As long as they survived, there’d be a time in the future when they fought back, or else all would be for naught.
They might not look old right now, but they’d both lived one life already. Would they still let emotions sway their decisions?
That would be stupid!
“You want to run?” Ao Jian immediately began his pursuit. Only he was qualified to chase, because the others—even the imperial family—would be suppressed by Helian Tianyun’s dragon’s might, chasing for nothing.
He was a genius of immortal realm’s dragon race, with the blood of True Dragon flowing in his veins, and currently already had Shattering Void nineteen stars of battle prowess, being only one star away from the extreme battle prowess.
Thus, he was extremely conceited.
