Chapter 664: The Sea Sacrifice Begins

Dongfang Youdi had been injured in the battle. At Jiao Peng's invitation, Ye Wushuang brought him into Flood Dragon Hall.

After a day of recovery, aided by his unique constitution, his injuries finally healed.

HUUFF!

In Wolong Hall, Dongfang Youdi awoke from his healing and let out a long breath.

'I wonder if it left a scar!'

He muttered to himself, lifting his clothes to quickly inspect the wound on his abdomen. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming there was no scar.

Seeing this, the nearby Dragon King, Dongfang Wudi, Jiao Peng, and the others were left speechless. 'He's lucky he didn't die, and he's worried about a scar?'

'This guy!'

The group shared a wry smile and shook their heads, then turned their attention to Ye Wushuang.

Having completed his inspection, Dongfang Youdi grinned and also looked up at Ye Wushuang.

"Young Master Ye!" Dongfang Youdi scrambled up, his form of address having changed. He sidled closer and said, "Do you think I can forge the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body?"

"You want to forge the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body?"

Hearing Dongfang Youdi's words, Ye Wushuang knew exactly what this guy was up to.

"Let me tell you, I gave it a try, and it seems to be working. The Ten Thousand Tribulations Body is definitely possible. It's just... the process is a tiny bit difficult."

Dongfang Youdi leaned in and spoke earnestly. He might have sounded casual, but how could it only be a "tiny bit" difficult? The Ten Thousand Tribulations Body required one to endure ten thousand tribulations, which were no ordinary calamities. The slightest misstep would lead to utter annihilation.

Ye Wushuang glanced at Dongfang Youdi. "So what are you getting at?"

"Hehe, nothing much. I just want to stick by your side so you can look out for me a little. How about it?"

Dongfang Youdi straightened his circlet and stated his intentions bluntly, staring at Ye Wushuang with utmost seriousness. It gave Ye Wushuang the creeps, and he immediately turned his head away. 'This guy is just as shameless as the Dragon Cat!'

Meanwhile, the others were completely baffled. 'What is this Ten Thousand Tribulations Body?'

They looked at Ye Wushuang and Dongfang Youdi.

Seeing their confusion, Ye Wushuang explained it to them. Only then did they understand. But they also finally realized why Dongfang Youdi had been so arrogant and had so blatantly provoked others—it was all to cultivate the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body.

Everyone was shocked by this special constitution. It was unbelievable!

"If he truly succeeds in forging the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body, it might rival a Holy Body. It is indeed powerful."

Ye Wushuang added faintly that the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body was a Heaven-Defying Breakthrough based on the Hundred Tribulations Body. Once successful, by his estimation, it would be powerful enough to rival the Nine Revolutions Saint Body!

However, the path Dongfang Youdi would have to walk to achieve the Ten Thousand Tribulations Body would be incredibly long, and the risk of perishing along the way was far greater than any other.

"Rival a Holy Body?"

Hearing Ye Wushuang's words, the crowd was stunned. They were well aware of the might of Ye Wushuang's Holy Body—it was so powerful it was simply outrageous!

Hearing this, Dongfang Youdi was inwardly ecstatic for a long moment before he looked up and said, "By the way, Young Master Ye, have you gone back to see your father?"

"My father!"

At his words, Ye Wushuang turned his head. "What about him?"

"You don't know your father was injured?"

Dongfang Youdi froze.

"What happened?"

The more Dongfang Youdi spoke, the more Ye Wushuang's heart leaped into his throat.

Hearing the question, the Dragon King and the others all wore strange expressions.

"Not long ago, Tian Chang, who possesses the Emperor's Domineering Blood, went to the Holy City to assassinate His Majesty the Great Emperor. However, His Majesty was in seclusion, so Tian Chang began a massive slaughter of the Holy City's citizens. The Princess wielded the Donghuang Bell to fight Tian Chang and forced him to retreat, but she was injured in the process."

"Afterward, Tian Chang left the Holy City and went to the Sinful City to find your father. The two fought a great battle, and your father was gravely wounded. He had to use the Judgement Scepter to open the Judgment Barrier just to block Tian Chang."

The Dragon King narrated slowly.

Ever since Tian Chang appeared, he has been preparing to attack the leaders of the major influences. His plan is to first decapitate them, then wait for the Celestial Dome to end the world.

"Emperor's Domineering Blood... Tian Chang!"

Ye Wushuang's eyes grew colder and colder. A bone-chilling aura erupted from his body, causing the expressions of the Dragon King and the others to change drastically.

This aura was terrifyingly cold—a cold that seeped into their very souls!

"The moment I leave the Three Thousand Seas, I will kill him."

Ye Wushuang's eyes glinted with a cold light. He had never imagined that Tian Chang would not only attack Dii Qingxue, but also go after his father. This had completely crossed his line!

'Once the sea festival is over and I obtain Divine Power, that will be the time I kill the wielder of the Emperor's Domineering Blood!'

"Young Master Ye, you don't have to worry. Your father will be fine soon," Nanbei Dao said.

Ye Wushuang said nothing, gazing out of Wolong Hall.

For half a month, Ye Wushuang went into seclusion to comprehend the Array Dao. Starting as a complete novice, he had now mastered the fundamentals.

Once he studied Arrays and managed to comprehend and evolve the Hundred-Thousand Immortal Slaying Sword Array, his strength would increase by countless levels!

Moreover, during this period, Ye Wushuang also completed the divine transformation of his internal organs, reaching the Second Layer of the Divine Silence Level.

As for the others, thanks to their connection with Ye Wushuang, they were treated as honored guests in Flood Dragon Hall.

As time went on, the day of the sea festival drew near. Heaven-Reaching Island grew more and more crowded, becoming ever more bustling.

The Sea Race from all over the Three Thousand Sea Domains flocked to Heaven-Reaching Island to participate in the Sea God festival.

「Half a month later.」

Ye Wushuang emerged from his seclusion, changed into a set of clean white robes, and stepped out of Wolong Hall.

"Brother Ye, you're quite punctual."

Just as he stepped out of the hall, he was met by Jiao Peng, who greeted him with a wide smile.

"Has the sea festival begun?"

Ye Wushuang returned a faint smile.

"The Clan Leader is waiting for you outside." Jiao Peng laughed heartily and led the way. He also called for the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc, Dongfang Youdi, and the others, and they all headed toward the long bridge outside Flood Dragon Hall.

On the long bridge, Jiao Ming and several of the clan's most powerful experts were waiting.

"My apologies for keeping the Clan Leader waiting!"

Walking to the front, Ye Wushuang said with a cupped-fist salute.

"It's no trouble at all. Oh?" Jiao Ming smiled, but when he sensed the change in Ye Wushuang's aura, his smile vanished, replaced by surprise.

"It seems Young Master Ye has had a breakthrough!"

Jiao Ming asked with a smile.

"I had a small breakthrough." Ye Wushuang nodded. The Dragon King, Dongfang Youdi, and the others weren't surprised in the least; they were already used to this Demon Fiend's speed.

However, Jiao Peng, Jiao Wei, and the others beside them were astonished. They knew it hadn't been long since Ye Wushuang's last breakthrough, yet here he was, having broken through again. It was simply incredible.

"Shall we go?"

Ye Wushuang said with a calm smile, not paying their shock any mind.

"It is about time now. Let's go," Jiao Ming said as well, leading the group toward the center of Heaven-Reaching Island.

In the center of Heaven-Reaching Island was a gigantic circular disc.

This disc was incredibly vast, and it floated in the air, held aloft by a pillar of water that resembled a great fountain!

He also learned from Jiao Ming that this was called the Dragon-Vomiting Jade Disc.

The site of the Sea God festival was on top of this Dragon-Vomiting Jade Disc.

At this moment, the Sea Race and some outsiders were gathered around the Dragon-Vomiting Jade Disc.

Ordinarily, lower-ranking members of the Sea Race and people from outside the Three Thousand Seas were forbidden from stepping onto the Dragon-Vomiting Jade Disc during the festival. However, thanks to Jiao Ming, an exception was made for Ye Wushuang and his group, and they were led onto it.
