Chapter 1985 is over! It's completely over now!



Chapter 1985 is over! It's completely over now!

Speaking of which...

The Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan's semi-revered elder paused slightly in his speech.

A deep worry flashed across his eyes.

She sighed softly.

He continued in a heavy tone:

"Now that the situation has become critical, we no longer need to hide the truth from you."

"Our clan claims that the clan leader has gone into seclusion and is detached from worldly affairs, but this is just a pretext to appease the clan and deter external enemies."

In reality, the clan chief was no longer within the clan's territory.

"All military orders for our clan's previous large-scale invasion of our territory were decrees issued remotely by the clan chief."

However, they maintained secret communication with the clan chief, which never ceased.

"But just a few years ago..."

When the elder sent a message to the clan leader to inquire whether to launch a counterattack against the human race or to defend the sea and continue the stalemate, he suddenly lost all contact with the clan leader.

Since then, no matter how hard we try to use secret methods to send messages or search for the clan leader, we have been unable to contact him in the slightest.

This earth-shattering secret came crashing down like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

The group of Nascent Soul demon lords, who had been trying to remain calm and barely steadfast, suddenly changed their expressions and could no longer sit still. They all stood up, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

"What?! The clan chief is not in the clan territory and has gone missing?!"

"Elder, is there no secret method or channel to reconnect with the clan leader?"

"It's over...it's completely over!"

Without our clan leader in charge, how can our clan deal with this long-planned, deadly plot by the human race?

"The human race has endured and remained silent for decades, quietly setting up such an unparalleled array that covers the entire True Dragon Sea. It is clear that they are preparing for a decisive battle with my demon race."

They intend to completely annihilate the demon race in my seas!

Now that our tribe has lost its strategic advantage, is trapped in a cage, and has no chieftain to oversee it, how can we possibly withstand the human army with our own strength?

"What's most terrifying is that the human race also has a Grand Master at the Nascent Soul stage who is in charge of the world!"

Those extraordinary, earth-shattering powerhouses, once they personally appear on the battlefield, are unstoppable by any member of our clan; we have absolutely no power to resist them!

Panic-filled whispers rose and fell, and a sense of despair spread rapidly throughout the hall.

The demon lords were thrown into chaos.

There was no chance of winning at all.

The core leadership of the entire Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan was completely thrown into panic.

Just as the demon lords were filled with panic and whispered in despair, and the situation was about to spiral completely out of control—

A powerful elder, seated at the head of the table, exuding an aura of immense power and authority far surpassing that of the others, suddenly spoke.

The clear, authoritative voice instantly silenced all the noisy discussions in the hall, firmly taking control of the situation.

“We are fully aware of your fear and worry.”

The survival of a people is more important than mountains and seas.

We had anticipated the crisis and made preparations accordingly.

His sharp gaze swept over the panicked demon warriors below, and his voice, firm and authoritative, commanded:

"Issue my decree!"

"Immediately activate the clan's highest-level secret preparations and launch the 'Fire Seed Project' across the entire region!"

Once this order was issued...

Most of the demon lords in the hall straightened up and nodded in agreement.

They all understood the meaning of the "Fire Seed Project," which was their ultimate backup plan when their race was on the verge of extinction.

It is the last resort to preserve the bloodline of the ethnic group and continue the lineage of the race.

Given this critical situation, initiating the plan is absolutely necessary and cannot be delayed in the slightest.

Only Shark Fly, standing to the side, had a deep sense of disdain and contempt flash across his eyes.

He secretly grumbled to himself:

My Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan has a long and rich heritage, and has dominated the seas for countless years. How could we possibly fear the formation set up by these young humans?

That's making a mountain out of a molehill and worrying unnecessarily!

Moreover, the way of formations has always followed the ironclad rule that "the power dissipates when the domain is too large!"

This time, the human race's formation covers the entire True Dragon Sea, a vast territory spanning tens of thousands of miles. The formation's power will inevitably be greatly diluted and dispersed.

Its power is greatly reduced.

With such a loose array barrier, any high-level demon could easily tear it apart and freely enter and exit.

It cannot imprison our people in the slightest.

Why make such a fuss about revealing the ultimate trump card?

These thoughts surged wildly in his mind, filled with resentment and disdain.

However, he knew the situation was serious and the elders' authority was not to be offended, so he could only keep it to himself and dared not reveal it in the slightest.

They dared not utter a word of doubt.

All I could do was feign solemnity and stand quietly to the side.

His aura was restrained, exuding an imposing presence without anger.

The group of powerful demons were holding their breath, discussing the "Fire Seed Plan" concerning the survival of their race in hushed tones, meticulously planning every detail of its execution, creating an atmosphere of utmost solemnity.

Just as the discussion of the plan was reaching a critical point, the entire hall suddenly froze.

Almost simultaneously, all the powerful members of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark Clan inside the hall keenly sensed a sudden surge of energy.

The aura was chaotic and violent, carrying with it extreme panic and fear.

It was approaching at an extremely fast speed, tearing through layers of deep-sea water pressure, and heading straight for the core hall of the clan.

In an instant,

The originally calm and solemn atmosphere inside the hall was completely shattered.

The demon lords all frowned, a hint of displeasure and contemplation flashing in their eyes, and the demonic energy that had been flowing smoothly around them began to stir slightly.

It should be noted that this is a high-level, confidential meeting of the tribe, with strict regulations.

Ordinary clansmen would never dare to disturb them rashly.

Even in the event of an emergency, one must wait outside for notification and report only after the meeting has concluded.

This is an ironclad rule that has been passed down through generations for thousands of years.

For a time,

All the cultivators in the hall felt a sense of dissatisfaction and secretly grumbled in their hearts.

Which junior was so reckless and ignorant, disregarding clan rules, daring to trespass into the clan elders' secret council hall and disrupt important clan matters?

Just as the questioning arose in everyone's minds, a hurried and staggering figure broke through the restrictions outside the hall and rushed into the main hall.

The newcomer was a young member of his tribe, clad in tattered shark-scale armor. His hair was disheveled, his aura weak and feeble, and he was covered in a faint stench of blood. His eyes were wide open, and his face was filled with extreme terror.

Even his kneeling posture was almost unsteady.

Before the powerful figures in the hall could rebuke or question him, this junior had already mustered his strength, his voice trembling and choked with sobs, and cried out urgently:

"Elders! Esteemed Demon Lords!"

"Something terrible has happened! Disaster is imminent!"

His voice was sharp and hoarse, piercing the silence of the hall, carrying a deep-seated fear that echoed repeatedly in the vast and magnificent space.

The rebukes and anger that were on the tip of everyone's tongues vanished instantly when they saw his panicked and collapsing state.

The fact that the cultivators within the clan could be in such a state of panic could not possibly be due to an ordinary, trivial matter.

It will inevitably be a devastating and earth-shattering upheaval.

The several semi-saint elders seated at the head of the table were all ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years, with profound experience and insightful minds.

Seeing this situation,

Everyone's expression simultaneously turned grim, a heavy gloom sweeping across their solemn faces. They were now certain that a taboo crisis, one that threatened the very foundation of their clan, had occurred.

Otherwise, the younger generation of the clan would never have disregarded the strict clan rules and risked their lives to break into the palace to report.

A moment of silence,

The elder, a semi-saint seated in the center, suddenly unleashed his overwhelming aura. His expression was as solemn as frost, and he spoke rapidly, each word ringing with conviction:

What exactly happened?

Tell me the truth immediately, without hiding anything!

Feeling the heavy pressure from the elders, the kneeling demon dared not hesitate for a moment, prostrating himself and kowtowing, his voice urgent and trembling as he quickly reported:

"Reporting to the elders and esteemed officials!"

Suddenly, a vast expanse of eerie, blood-red seawater appeared in the sea area guarded by our clan's rear!

This blood has an extremely strange texture, containing an unparalleled and domineering corrosive power.

Any living being tainted and corrupted by it will have their consciousness instantly shattered, their intelligence completely extinguished, and they will all be reduced to bloodthirsty beasts devoid of reason and capable only of frenzied slaughter!

"As of now, tens of thousands of young descendants of our clan who remained behind have all been corrupted by the blood-red seawater, turning into walking corpses, devoid of any consciousness!"

Countless other sea creatures in the surrounding waters suffered the same fate.

Corpses littered the fields, and cries of agony filled the air!

"The most terrifying thing is that this blood-red seawater is impervious to everything and there is no way to defend against it!"

The nine-layered deep-sea protective array set up by our clan, the defensive secrets passed down by various clans, and all kinds of protective spiritual treasures could not stop it in the slightest!

Ordinary defensive measures crumble at the first touch.

There was simply no way to resist it.

The crimson tide continues to expand and spread!

As they were speaking,

The kneeling demon suppressed his fear, waved his hand, and two beams of spiritual light appeared from his palm.

A jade slip engraved with densely packed intelligence patterns.

And a pure white image stone, shimmering with a faint spiritual light, floated steadily in his palm.

He looked up and respectfully reported again:

"This jade slip contains detailed records of all the urgent intelligence and changes that came from the rear sea area."

This photographic stone fully records the true scene of the blood-red sea raging and eroding marine life.

Please, esteemed sirs, take a look!

Before the words had even finished,

The elder at the head of the group, a half-saint with a vast aura, flickered his eyes slightly. Before the little demon could even raise his hand to offer it, he had already raised his hand and waved it lightly.

A powerful, gentle yet domineering demonic force swept out from afar, instantly enveloping the two artifacts.

The image stone in the little demon's palm instantly broke free from its restraints, floated into the air, and steadily flew to the center of the main hall, where it hovered quietly.

Immediately following, a wisp of extremely pure demonic power slowly flowed into the recording stone.

In an instant, all the ancient patterns engraved on the surface of the photo stone lit up, with layers of shimmering white light flowing and shining brightly.

A huge curtain of light spread out from the stone body, instantly illuminating the entire dark and secluded hall.

Clear and lifelike dynamic images slowly appear on the light screen.

The Zhenlonghai Sea stretches as far as the eye can see, its waters a vast expanse of blue. In the past, the waves surged and creatures frolicked, creating a peaceful and prosperous scene.

But at this moment, the endless blue waves at the horizon are being slowly stained with a strange and eerie scarlet color.

The blood was thick and viscous, unlike ordinary seawater; instead, it resembled congealed blood, exuding a chilling coldness and violence.

At first, it was just a pale red hue on the horizon.

In the blink of an eye,

The entire sea suddenly surged with crimson light, and endless crimson waves, carrying overwhelming ferocity, swept in, raging and devastating.

Where the waves passed, the seawater turned completely crimson.

Even the air was filled with a thick, bloody mist, which made people tremble.

Countless sea monsters that roamed, rested, foraged, and cultivated on the seabed, including the younger generation of the Black Spirit Tiger Shark clan, had no time to use their secret techniques to dodge.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

It was instantly swallowed up and completely submerged by the surging crimson tide.

next moment,

Deep within the crimson tide, mad roars and violent howls exploded in waves.

The sound was shrill and manic, filled with a bloodthirsty killing intent. It was the roar of those creatures whose minds had been corrupted and whose sanity had been extinguished by the blood-red seawater, turning them into ferocious beasts.

The sounds were piercing, striking straight to the heart and soul.

All the powerful figures in the hall stared intently at the tragic scene on the light screen, their minds growing heavier and their auras becoming increasingly stagnant.

But just as everyone was trying to examine the strange characteristics of the crimson wave and find a way to break it...

The screen suddenly went black, and the video abruptly stopped without warning.

A moment later,

The dim light curtain slowly rolled back and contracted, disappearing completely into the image-recording stone suspended in mid-air.

The main hall regained its deep and solemn atmosphere.

The oppressive atmosphere and fear that permeated the air only grew stronger.

On one side of the main hall, a dignified and old-fashioned demon lord with a deep gaze waved his hand dismissively at the kneeling little demon, signaling him to step back.

This little demon was shrewd and perceptive, knowing full well that she was not qualified to participate in the clan's top secret meetings.

Next, the elders and the demon lord will inevitably discuss countermeasures to deal with the crisis of annihilation.

He dared not linger, quickly composed himself, respectfully kowtowed, then quietly rose, strode out of the hall, and gently closed the door behind him.

After the little demon's figure completely disappeared outside the hall...

The atmosphere in the entire hall instantly plummeted to freezing point, becoming extremely tense.

The several semi-elders at the head of the table had furrowed brows, their faces were solemn and their eyes were full of melancholy and gravity.

The Nascent Soul demon lords on both sides of the main hall all concealed their auras, their faces solemn, and no one spoke.

The vast, deep-sea palace was deathly silent.

Only a heavy, oppressive aura remained, spreading rampantly and making it almost impossible for people to breathe.

After a long silence,

The five elders seated at the head of the table slowly opened their eyes, their gazes deep and cold. They broke the deathly silence first, speaking in a deep voice, their tone resolute and icy:

"This sudden and bizarre wave of crimson light is definitely not a natural phenomenon."

It is inevitably related to the human race.

"Not long ago, the human army activated its great formation."

Immediately afterwards, this bizarre catastrophe erupted in the heart of our True Dragon Sea.

The timing is too coincidental to be a mere coincidence!

As soon as he finished speaking, the five elders swept their gazes over the crowd, their expressions resolute and decisive, and gave the order in a deep voice:

"In my opinion, the 'Seed Project' should be launched immediately and in full without any further delay!"

Not only did the younger generation with pure bloodlines and outstanding talents within the clan immediately evacuate to safety,

We must expand the seed sequence even further!

"All elite cultivators within the clan who possess the potential for breakthrough and are expected to advance to the Demon Lord level are included in the evacuation list and must be evacuated from the True Dragon Sea to preserve the clan's lifeline!"

"We old folks are nearing the end of our lives and our cultivation is difficult to advance, so we will stay here to buy time for the younger generation of our clan."

We will do everything in our power to find a way to avert this bloody catastrophe and fight for a chance of survival for our people!

As soon as he finished speaking,

The demon lords in the hall were instantly moved, and they all stepped forward and bowed, their tone earnest and anxious.

"Elder, you absolutely must not!"

We implore the elders to evacuate first!
