439. Our King Has Finally Returned!


    The vast sea stretched endlessly. The mention of returning to his ancestralnd brought a hint of excitement to the voice of the Azure Flood Dragon King. He clearly yearned to see his homnd once again. This also indirectly proved that the Azure Flood Dragon King had diligently protected the Great Chang without ever secretly returning to his homnd for a brief visit. Now, he finally had the chance to revisit it.


    "It has been so long since Ist visited. I wonder if the Azure Flood Dragon n has birthed any new kings?" he pondered. "It should be possible, given the existence of the ancestralnd and the many descendants with rich bloodlines in our n..."


    The Azure Flood Dragon King wasn''t certain. After all, much could have changed over the years.


    The two continued flying deep into the ocean, journeying for several days. The distance was vast, and Lin Fei was uncertain whether the ancestralnd of the Azure Flood Dragon n was in the sea or on an ind. However, he soon saw several specks of inds in the ocean. The closer they got to these inds, the more excited the Azure Flood Dragon King became.


    "Azure Flood Dragon King, are these inds the territory of your n?" Lin Fei asked.


    The Azure Flood Dragon King responded with enthusiasm, "Indeed! While my Azure Flood Dragon n may not be the most powerful in the ocean, the emergence of king-level beings has allowed us to im these inds. Although we can live in the sea, we prefer thend and cannot always stay underwater. Having inds as a base also aids in the reproduction and prosperity of our n."


    Lin Fei understood.


    As they rapidly descended to one of the inds, they immediately sensed something amiss. Blood! The air was thick with the smell of fresh blood. Delving deeper into the ind, they saw countless bodies strewn about. Among them were the corpses of Azure Flood Dragons as well as various sea beasts, and not just of one kind.


    "What has happened here? What befell my Azure Flood Dragon n?" The Azure Flood Dragon King was filled with anxiety. He could only guess that something dire had urred.


    "Yes, the ancestralnd! Master, we must hurry to the ancestralnd. If the Azure Flood Dragon n is in danger, they would surely seek refuge there."


    The Azure Flood Dragon King seemed to suddenly realize something, his expression filled with urgency.


    "Azure Flood Dragon King, whatever you wish to do, you don''t need my permission anymore. On this ind, you are free to do as you please."


    Lin Fei did not strictly bind the Azure Flood Dragon King. At this point, the Azure Flood Dragon King might even be thest of his kind. There''s no need for Lin Fei to restrain him. Even if the Azure Flood Dragon King seeks revenge, Lin Fei would not hold him back.


    "Thank you, Master."


    With that, the Azure Flood Dragon King transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards his ancestralnd.


    At this moment, in the ancestralnd of the Azure Flood Dragon n, hundreds of Azure Flood Dragons hid within, protected by the ancestralnd''s energy.


    This ancestralnd is protected by a force simr to a formation, built by the blood essence of previous Azure Flood Dragon Kings. As long as one is of the Azure Flood Dragon bloodline, they can activate this protection. Essentially, they are guarded by the power of their past kings. Once they enter the ancestralnd and activate this protection, it canst for a very long time.


    However, the current situation in the ancestralnd was dire. In the past, tens of thousands of Azure Flood Dragons lived there. Now? Only a few hundred remain, all survivors hiding inside, having done so for three months.


    Outside, exotic beasts constantly attack the protective essence left by the past kings, gradually draining it. If this continues, in less than half a year, the ancestralnd will bepletely breached, and they will all perish.


    As for escaping? They never considered it. The entire ind, inside and out, is filled with enemies. How could they escape? Once they leave the ancestralnd, they will undoubtedly meet their end.


    "It''s surprising that we''ve been attacking the Azure Flood Dragon n''s ancestralnd for so long without taking it!"


    "The Azure Flood Dragon n is indeed extraordinary. They''ve always had king-level powerhouses in every generation."


    "If it weren''t for Green King consuming this generation''s Azure Flood Dragon King from the beginning, how could we have attacked their ancestralnd?"


    "But it''s Green King who''s more formidable, even consuming this generation''s Azure Flood Dragon King in a single gulp."


    "Such power is terrifying."


    "What exactly is Green King''s true form? It''s intriguing. Ever since he appeared, breaking through several major ns in the seas, no king-level powerhouse has been a match for him."


    "Shh, never speak of it or even ask!"


    "The true form of Green King is a top secret. Rumor has it that whoever has seen Green King''s true form has died..."


    For a moment, all the sea beasts fell silent. Sea beasts are not devoid of intelligence. In fact, many sea beasts are no different from cultivators, possessing high intellect. They all serve under Green King.


    Yet, the foundation of Green King remains a mystery. Hardly anyone knows his true form. However, upon his emergence, he was dominant, defeating numerous king-level powerhouses and rapidly expanding his influence.


    This time, Green King''s overwhelming power arrived, intending to subjugate the Azure Flood Dragon n. However, the n resisted. As a result, with a singlemand from Green King, he razed their ind and nearly exterminated the Azure Flood Dragon n.


    However, when they reached the ancestralnd of the Azure Flood Dragon, it proved difficult to conquer. Even the king-level exotic beasts failed. Green King seemed to be held up by something else and couldn''t get away, and thus, theyid siege to the ancestralnd for three months.


    "These Azure Flood Dragons are really stubborn."


    "Why wouldn''t they want to serve under Green King?"


    "They''ve brought about their own extinction!"


    "It''s a pity. Even if they wanted to surrender now, it''s toote."


    "Green King has ordered the extermination of the Azure Flood Dragon n in his fury."


    "In a few more months, the Azure Flood Dragon n will undoubtedly be exterminated."


    "It''s such a shame. The Azure Flood Dragon n was once the overlord of the seas for thousands of miles. Look at their fate now..."


    The sea beasts sighed. Weren''t they in the same situation? Defeated and then subjugated by Green King. The Azure Flood Dragons, however, were unfortunate. They angered Green King and now faced annihtion.


    Inside the ancestralnd, many Azure Flood Dragons trembled in fear, devoid of hope after three months of waiting. What''s the use of waiting a few more months? The oue remains inevitable.


    "How has my Azure Flood Dragon ne to such a fate?"


    Suddenly, a strange, even somewhat frustrated voice reached the ears of many exotic beasts.


    "What is that...?"


    Many Azure Flood Dragons inside the ancestralnd perked up upon hearing this, staring intently outside.


    The exotic beasts under Green King were equally astonished, turning to look behind. At that moment, a massive figure slowly flew from the void beyond the ancestralnd. This colossal figure, stretching thousands of meters and emanating a terrifying oppressive aura, was suppressing them on a fundamental, life-based level.


    "Our king... our king?"


    "Wasn''t our king consumed by Green King?"


    "It''s the previous king, no, the one before thest, or even further back."


    "The Azure Flood Dragon bloodline within it is unmistakable."


    "He is our king!"


    "Our king has finally returned!"


    Inside the ancestralnd, hundreds of Azure Flood Dragons, one after the other, surged with renewed vigor, their eyes shing with joy and fervor. They finally had a king once more. Their king had returned!
