Chapter 293: Sea Tribe

Boom— Boom— Boom! Above the East Sea.

A terrifying sound rang out, and four true dragons rose from the sea, hovering above the firmament.

These four true dragons each possessed bodies ten thousand zhang tall.

The aura of the four true dragons covered the world, causing this realm to tremble.

Their silhouettes were reflected in the eyes of the world.

It was terrifying; the Sea Tribe's four great Dragon Kings gathered together, making the heavens and earth quake.

The sky ripped apart, the four great seas surged with ten‑thousand‑zhang waves, and figures appeared behind the Four Sea Dragon Kings—among them the Four Seas Crown Prince and several Dragon Emperor elites, all surfacing.

The Sea Tribe essentially poured out in full force.

This posture was excessively terrifying and frightening.

Above Da Xia Capital.

Terrifying figures emerged, led by the Four Sea Dragon Kings, with thunderclouds spreading around, looking especially awe‑inspiring and dreadful.

Boom— Boom— Boom.

Boom— Boom— Boom.

Thunder spread throughout the Da Xia Dynasty, emanating from Da Xia Capital.

"East Sea Dragon King, South Sea Dragon King, West Sea Dragon King, North Sea Dragon King, have arrived."

A resonant voice rang out, echoing across the entire Shen Zhou continent.

The world trembled in fear, almost silent; they could only watch quietly, feeling an unparalleled suffocation.

In an instant.

Inside the Eternal Night Palace.

Several figures emerged from the palace—Emperor Yongsheng and others—while the Four Sea Dragon Kings rode clouds and mist, bringing an unprecedented sense of oppression; hundreds of silhouettes appeared, giving every soldier the illusion of suffocation.

They could not help but kneel, crawl on the ground, daring not even to breathe; the pressure was too terrifying.

Yet this behavior was also somewhat overbearing, forcing Da Xia soldiers to kneel; they had agreed on a Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Tribes to call for peace, and this is how they acted, which was rather displeasing.

Emperor Yongsheng, the Central Continent Emperor, as well as Su Wenjing and the Central Continent Sage all frowned.

Grandfather Gu furrowed his brows even more, seemed about to speak, but ultimately fell silent.

"We have met the Four Sea Dragon Kings."

"Thank the Sea Tribe for coming here to attend the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Tribes and striving for peace among all tribes."

Regardless of the other side's attitude, this is Da Xia, and they are the ancient Sea Tribe; Emperor Yongsheng knew the disparity, did not become angry, and personally stepped forward to welcome the Four Sea Dragon Kings.

Before the Four Sea Dragon Kings, Emperor Yongsheng was courteous yet did not lose his imperial grandeur; he was merely receiving guests.

However, the North Sea Dragon King stared silently at Emperor Yongsheng; both remained quiet, making the scene exceedingly awkward.

"If it were not Gu Jin Nian."

"You have no right to discuss peace here with us."

"Human emperors sound ridiculous; after all, they are just a swarm of ants daring to call themselves emperors, while we merely call ourselves kings."

The North Sea Dragon King's voice rang out, disdainful of the human race.

For a clan, especially ancient clans, titles carry deep meaning—terms like emperor, sovereign, king denote loftiness.

A king is the pride among heavens, the leader of the clan.

A sovereign is noble, transcendent, possessing a very high status.

As for an emperor, he possesses unprecedented achievements, a being that later generations cannot catch up to, an existence beyond reach.

Only extraordinary beings may be called emperor.

The Four Sea Dragon Kings do not even dare to call themselves Dragon Emperors, yet the human‑ant dynasty calls itself emperor; how could that not stir deep resentment in them?

"The title of emperor or king is merely a name; eras and peoples differ. Saints have clouds, humans have no noble or low status, let alone names."

The Central Continent Sage spoke, looking at the North Sea Dragon King, responding with sage discourse.

Upon hearing this, the latter merely snorted coldly; had the situation not been different today, and with Gu Jin Nian present, honestly, given his temperament, he would have said, 'What do the words of a sage amount to?' He does not care for such speech; others may respect sages, but they do not need them.

Only because they are a step away from the Heaven's Mandate sage.

"That is your human affair; from now on, change your titles, or it will be disgraceful."

The South Sea Dragon King's voice rang out, lofty and giving the Central Continent Sage no respect.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongsheng, the Central Continent Emperor, and the two sages' expressions slightly changed.

They truly did not expect the Sea Tribe to be so overbearing.

Although they knew the Sea Tribe would come with a lofty, condescending stance, they did not expect it to be so extreme.

They had thought that with Gu Jin Nian present, the five tribes would at least temper themselves, but now it seemed they cared not at all.

"It seems the five tribes are prepared; otherwise, it would not be like this."

The Central Continent Sage transmitted his voice to all, and Emperor Yongsheng and the others fell silent, unsure how to proceed.

"Today is the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Tribes, focusing on peace; some matters should not be made too tense, the world's people are watching, everyone, please."

Finally, Su Wenjing stepped forward, smiling, looking at the four Dragon Kings, and said.

This could be considered a gentle, more proper attitude.

Yet even after this, the Four Sea Dragon Kings gave no concession, standing unmoved; behind them, the Dragon Emperor and the Four Seas Crown Prince cast mocking glances at the crowd.

It was plainly a disdain for those people.

Sensing this attitude, the Central Continent Emperor's voice rose.

"Today is the Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Tribes, a time of world peace and joint discussion of peace; we hope you all give the world's people some respect."

"If you are unwilling to come, you may leave on your own; the human race wishes to negotiate peace, not out of fear of you."

The Central Continent Emperor's aura shone strongly at this moment; he stared at the opponent, his gaze full of cold intent.

Although the world has changed, his state of mind has not changed; he is an emperor, the former Great Emperor of Central Province, ruling over a continent, whether in methods or breadth of mind, are things ordinary people do not have.

Now, although the world has changed, he also obtained the Son of Heaven's seal; if speaking of cultivation strength, although he cannot compare to the Four Sea Dragon Kings, some things cannot be decided solely by realm. "If you truly do not wish to, you may leave."

The voice of Emperor Yongsheng also sounded; these two emperors represent the Eastern Wilderness and Central Province, and in a sense, they truly can decide many things.

"Arrogant!"

"We came here to give you humans face; you wouldn't think we came also to seek peace, would you?"

"Truly laughable, what do you mean by these words? Do you think we want to seek peace?"

"You surely don't think that with just a Gu Jin Nian you can oppose our sea clan?"

At this moment, the princes of the Four Sea Dragon Palace all spoke up; they are exceedingly arrogant, originally they were the pride among pride, in ancient times they were existences that crawled out of the sea of corpses.

Moreover, facing a bunch of ants now, how could they have any reverence? There is no such thing as equality.

"Then according to your opinion, this myriad races conference, you fundamentally do not want peace?"

Su Wenjing spoke, he stepped forward, the aura of a sage permeated, he gazed at the Four Sea princes.

"Peace talks?"

"You are even worthy?"

A strong dragon emperor spoke, he looked at Su Wenjing and voiced his inner thoughts.

Yes, how dare the human race speak such words of peace? They find it laughable.

This is the heartfelt words of the sea clan, and also of the five clans.

Upon hearing this, many people felt a fire in their hearts, whether they were prominent figures of the human race or some military leaders.

To them, this is too much of an insult.

Although the five clans are indeed strong, coming from antiquity, but now under the suppression of the great age, the present human race also has a Gu Jin Nian.

On what basis can the five clans still be so arrogant?

This is the myriad races conference, after all a place for peace talks; isn't it too overbearing?

"Then according to your opinion, must this myriad races conference not be talked? If so, then I will directly speak to Jin Nian."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

His expression calm, he looked at the other party; since there's no need to talk, then there's no need to talk.

Upon hearing this, the latter sneered, especially the North Sea Dragon King, who spoke directly.

"Don't use Gu Jin Nian to pressure us; the myriad races conference is his home turf, why isn't he appearing? My sea clan's four great dragon kings have all come out, already giving you humans how much face?"

"It was you who first disrespected us, and now you say such things? Don't you find it laughable?"

The North Sea Dragon King's voice rose, seizing this matter to criticize this myriad races conference.

"Gu Sheng is currently enlightening the sage's law, not hidden; moreover, for this discussion, we also have the right to participate."

The Central Province sage spoke.

"Are you even worthy? The two sages are fine to say, after all our sea clan also respects sages, but what about the others? Speaking harshly, what are they?"

The West Sea Dragon King spoke, lofty and high.

Among the Four Sea Dragon Kings, only the East Sea Dragon King remains silent.

After all, his identity is different.

However, just at this moment.

The far northern lands.

A terrifying voice sounded, one after another peerless demon gods appeared, their figures covering the sky and earth, terrifyingly overwhelming.

Ten demon gods simultaneously revealed their forms.

From the far northern lands, they rushed to the Da Xia Capital.

Demonic birds covered the sky and earth, also there were terrifying fierce beasts, with dragon heads and serpent bodies, appearing strange and terrifying.

The ten great demon gods appeared, transforming into ten human silhouettes, appearing within the Da Xia Dynasty.

They arrived at the Eternal Night Palace, their gazes hostile, even colder than the sea clan.

"Greetings, all demon gods!"

Seeing the demon gods gather, Su Wenjing walked forward a few steps, without letting the sea clan's affairs affect his mood.

Toward each person, his attitude is completely different.

However, facing Su Wenjing's courtesy, the ten great demon gods couldn't care less, not even glancing at him.

"What about Gu Jin Nian? Isn't this the myriad races conference? Why isn't he here? Is he lofty above, or having reached the Nine Heavens, does he look down on us ancient clans?"

One demon god spoke, his words filled with cold intent.

Right from the start, they came to cause trouble.

It is obvious that the five clans came this time clearly to cause trouble.

In an instant, everyone's faces turned extremely grim.

Knowing the five clans would come to cause trouble, but really did not expect that they would come straight to cause trouble.

Moreover, they insist Gu Jin Nian show up? Who doesn't know Gu Jin Nian is diligently cultivating the Dao? Doing this is somewhat disgusting.

Deliberately targeted!

"The master doesn't appear, letting a bunch of dogs come out to receive us; this is truly laughable, is this the bearing of a sage?"

At this moment, a voice sounded.

It was the demon clan.

Hundreds of black shadows appeared, around them ghosts wailed and wolves howled, appearing especially terrifying.

The demon clan appeared, they hate Gu Jin Nian even more.

Naturally, their speech is also extremely impolite.

In an instant, the scene fell utterly silent, thick with the smell of gunpowder.
