Su Yu flew into the sky and saw a huge water bulge rise from the depths of the endless Chensha River. An enormous amount of river water was pushed towards the shore by an invisible force, forming layers of giant waves over ten meters high.
"Boom boom boom!"
Was it an illusion? For a moment, Su Yu felt the earth and sky slightly tremble as layers of invisible ripples surged from the river.
Seconds later, a larger water bulge rose from the river's depths, lifting even higher waves.
"What is this?"
No one answered yet, but the river surface suddenly exploded. A massive figure surged from the riverbed, breaking through thousands of tons of water. It was a Black-Scaled Flood Dragon, over a hundred meters long.
The black dragon was covered in wounds, its scales shattered, flowing with dragon blood. It roared, raising its head, and the surrounding river water quickly converged around it, forming a massive vortex. Numerous blue lights, condensed by Gui Water elites, rapidly gathered into a cloud enveloping the black dragon, its gigantic body weaving in and out, intermittently visible.
"Flood Dragon!"
Black Dragon (Terror): Leader, Level 114, Aquatic Race, Flood Dragon.
Attributes: Qi and Blood 820,000/2,620,000, Demonic Power 20,000/80,000, Attack Power 18,000, Speed 800 km/h, Demon Skill: Water-based Magic, Walking Flood Dragon Skill, Gui Water Divine Thunder, Gui Water Divine Thunder Net.
Everyone was shocked, dropping their bowls and chopsticks, retreating from the shore, watching the river whirlpool grow ever larger, with more Gui Water elites gathering.
"What's going on?"
"Is a guild team fighting a boss?"
"No one in sight."
While the crowd was clamoring, the water surface several kilometers away suddenly rose. Soon, a nearly ten-meter-tall, armored, spear-holding humanoid general broke through the river. Behind him, the river boiled, and a densely packed group of Fish Spirits slowly emerged from the surface. Su Yu then heard Qiao Bin gasp beside him:
"Oh crap, Chensha River God's Water Army General!"
"This is a big scene!"
The water army general's level was as high as a hundred, and the Fish Spirits behind him had fish heads and human bodies, averaging level 50, all clad in standard armor, holding delicate tridents, and walking on water, forming a neat, solemn military formation.
And this was just one side. Within moments, the water boiled from three additional directions, and three more armies emerged from the river, encircling the flood dragon.
The first river god general pointed a thick finger and spoke human words:
"Bold wicked dragon, daring to steal the River God's treasure, hand over the treasure and accept your fate!"
The black dragon also raised its head and spoke human words:
"What excuse are you making to forcibly seize the treasure? The Chensha River God has been a robber from the start, even his divine title was stolen."
"Bold wicked dragon, how dare you slander the River God!"
The water army general, enraged, pointed his giant spear and shouted:
"Soldiers, capture the wicked dragon!"
As soon as he spoke, the dense water army plunged into the water, surging towards the black dragon from all directions.
The water army generals commanded the four directions, blocking the black dragon's escape.
"Boom boom boom!"
The black dragon sank to the riverbed, the assembled Gui Water elites quickly converging into Gui Water Divine Thunder, exploding. The river surface instantly churned like a boiling pot, and the river God's army that charged in was shattered by the power of the divine thunder, its blood instantly dyeing the river red.
But the water army was too numerous, continuously pouring in, wearing down the Gui Water elites with their flesh and blood, completely encircling the flood dragon from all sides.
Knives cut, tridents pierced, claws tore, teeth bit.
The flood dragon fought back fiercely, its massive body rolling, wounding anyone who touched it, killing any it struck.
But there were too many water soldiers, and having already survived a pursuit, the flood dragon's demonic power was nearly depleted, unable to launch powerful moves anymore.
The spectators on the shore watched intently, and by now over a hundred had gathered.
As the news spread, Su Yu saw people continuously approaching from Thousand Feather City, with many flying ships coming from other directions, filled with people. In just a few minutes, they gathered over a thousand.
Yet with all these people, including several experienced team members, no one made a move.
Then, a newcomer in Qiao Bin's team, who had invited Su Yu for a meal, curiously asked:
"Captain, with so many of us, and the guild's main forces here, why don't we seize this boss?"
Qiao Bin quickly waved his hand, saying:
"We wouldn't dare."
Su Yu immediately perked his ears, listening as Qiao Bin explained to his younger teammates:
"This is a criminal being pursued by the Chensha River God's water army. Our guild headquarters is right on the border of the Chensha and Yuanjiang rivers; we can't afford to offend the River God."
"Is the River God really that powerful?"
"Heh, the Chensha River God's level is over two hundred, and in the Chensha River, it's like the River God's domain. Without the power of a level 300 Celestial Immortal, you can't do anything against him."
"So strong?"
"Just that strong."
Su Yu clicked his tongue after hearing this and shifted his gaze back to the river.
By now, under the siege of the River God's water army, the black dragon's injuries were worsening, nearly at its limit.
Among the water army were not just ordinary minions; several leaders with elite templates of level seventy or eighty, in thousands, surrounded the dragon, making it hard to defend.
Its remaining over 800,000 blood steadily declined with the siege, dropping to just over 200,000 in less than five minutes.
Beside him, Qiao Bin, hands behind his back, shook his head with regret:
"This flood dragon is doomed."
As he finished speaking, a long roar echoed from the distant flood dragon:
"Chensha River God, isn't this treasure what you seek? So be it!"
It opened its mouth and spat out a radiant object, a blue-green small seal, as it raised its head. A semi-transparent dragon-shaped stream of light poured into the small seal, releasing an invisible brilliant light into the river. Suddenly, a muffled bell sound echoed between heaven and earth, then...
The flood dragon's body fell into the river. Before Su Yu's eyes, the Chensha River waters over a ten-kilometer section began boiling, rapidly surging over the banks, spreading outward.
"Oh crap, back away quickly."
The onlookers swiftly gained altitude, moving away from the riverbanks.
The river waters surged upward by several hundred meters, with over ten kilometers of riverbank becoming a waterlogged land, forming an enormous vortex under the manipulation of the Walking Flood Dragon Skill, nurturing a suffocating oppressive aura.
However, before the vortex could fully form, an even grander oppressive aura emerged, solidifying billions of tons of river water.
Suddenly, a vague shadow rose dramatically behind a water army general, reaching out to press down with indescribable force. The whole world fell silent, and everyone seemed frozen like bugs trapped in amber.
"You shall not!"
The blue-green small seal radiated intense light, its flames burning, forcibly shaking the solidified space, hesitated briefly, then shot towards the riverbank.
"My treasure, you shall not claim it!"
The blazing blue-green small seal exploded just a few hundred meters away from them, shattering the invisible confinement that immobilized everyone. Immediately, countless blue-green seal fragments transformed into streams of light shooting towards them.
The invisible force broke open, and as soon as they could move, the bold ones reached out to grab those streams of light.
No matter what it was, getting it in hand was the consensus, and Su Yu was no exception.
Seeing everyone grabbing, he quickly flew to one of the streams of light, grabbing it. Making eye contact with Qiao Bin, who had also caught a fragment nearby, they nodded and swiftly turned to flee.
In almost the blink of an eye, all the hundreds of fragments were snatched, and at that moment, the confinement locking the world had been lifted. The terrifying aura being nurtured in the river quickly vanished, and the rising river water swiftly receded.
What happened next Su Yu didn't know, he had already fled, making a detour back to Thousand Feather City.
By then, the regional channel of Thousand Feather City was in chaos, with everyone hotly discussing the sudden appearance of the flood dragon battle with the River God in Chensha River, and speculating about the shattered blue-green seal.
Some speculated whether it was the River God Divine Seal.
Others guessed it was some special high-level magical treasure.
Su Yu darted back to his residence, immediately taking out the fragment he had seized, its attributes immediately appearing before his eyes:
Ancient Chensha River God Divine Seal Fragment (Divine Object): 1/82, a fragment of the Ancient Chensha River God Divine Seal, possessing a trace of Divine Power in the Chensha River. If all fragments are collected and recombined, refining them could make one the Chensha River God.
Attributes: Increases water-based magic Divine Techniques power within Chensha River area by +10%, Mana recovery +1.
"It really is the River God Divine Seal!"
"But it's an ancient divine seal, somewhat useless."
This Chensha River already has a River God. Even if one could recombine and refine the Divine Seal, they would still have to first eliminate the current River God to truly become one.
The difficulty of that....
Even the full force of the Thousand Feather Guild wouldn't be able to accomplish it.
