I Am Really Not The Son of Providence

Chapter 481: Danger Resolved, Old Dragon King Recovers!

After the Immortal Evil Spirit was trapped by Shen Tian’s Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, the results of the battle became a foregone conclusion.

Everyone stopped and focused their attention on the space. They were very shocked.

They never expected Shen Tian to be able to set up a formation of this level that could even trap a Perfected Immortal.

And this formation was still exuding an indomitable power to destroy that Immortal Evil Spirit.

It had just been a short while, and the lower levels of the Evil Spirit race were more or less entirely destroyed.

Now, only the Immortal Evil Spirit and three Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits were left struggling stubbornly.

But it looked like they would not be able to hold on much longer.

Relief washed over the hearts of everyone at the sight. They had just been at the brink of death.

Over 20 Sub-Immortal and one Perfected Immortal Evil Spirits—that was enough to destroy the entire North Sea.

Apart from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty, few other territories could fend against so many formidable Evil Spirit practitioners.

Even a veteran like the Old Dragon King had been defeated. It was very disheartening.

However, Shen Tian appeared and killed off those Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits with invincible force. Even the Perfected Immortal was now trapped. He had managed to turn the situation around.

It could be said that Shen Tian alone managed to resolve this danger brought about by the Evil Spirit race to North Sea.

This kind of achievement was difficult to imagine.

Everyone stared at the figure standing in mid-air. Their eyes were filled with burning adoration.

The Four Princes of North Sea were the most exuberant. The White Prince was waving his eight tentacles wildly. “Thank our lucky stars! We finally won!”

The Crab Prince waved his two huge pincers and cheered like a fanboy. “Boss Shen Tian is so powerful! Boss Shen Tian is so awesome! Boss Shen Tian is so cool!”

The Turtle Prince said confidently, “I already said that those Evil Spirits were nothing! The moment our Boss Shen Tian stepped up, he cleaned them all out!”

The Shark Prince nodded. His face was filled with worship. “I… I think so too!”

“This is all thanks to Boss Shen Tian!”

The others didn’t say anything much, but their hearts were filled with gratitude.

If not for Shen Tian’s help to rescue North Sea, this place would have already become a ghost town. No living being would be left.

Sacred Leader Shen Tian is the undeniable savior of North Sea!

…

At that moment, the fabrics of space suddenly twisted.

A strong gust of domineering aura radiated outward and spread across the region.

Everyone looked shocked. “What’s happening? Could it be more Evil Spirits?”

Ao Ye, Kun Xu, and the rest straightened themselves and stood ready, their eyes grave and solemn.

They remembered there were two other Sub-immortal Evil Spirits who had been dragged into the void turbulence by Chu Longhe in battle.

Logically speaking, the battle should be ending soon!

This also meant that if Azure Lotus was defeated, they still had to handle two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits.

Many people took out their weapons and special artifacts, all prepared to fight with the Evil Spirits.

The fabrics of space vibrated, and a figure emerged.

It was a white-haired elder, and his robes were in tatters. He was disheveled, and there were traces of blood at the corners of his mouth.

However, his aura was vibrant and heroic, his battle blood surging to the maximum.

Ao Ye and Kun Xu hurried forward. “Elder Azure Lotus, are you alright?”

“What happened to those two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits?”

The person who emerged was Elder Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that he had emerged safe and sound.

But then the crowd frowned.

This was because they didn’t see those two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits. They couldn’t help worrying.

Could it be that those two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits are still in the void turbulence? Or are they hiding in some dark corner?

They were Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits. No one could rest easy until they were killed.

Few powers could defend if attacked by Evil Spirits of this level.

Even the most powerful Black Dragon race and Great Void Kun race would have to pay a terrible price in order to subdue them.

This was why everyone decided to root out those two Sub-Immortal Evil Spirits.

Chu Longhe looked calm. “I have already killed off those two brats.”

The divine staff in his hands trembled as it resonated with a mighty power. Its aura was as immense as the mountains and rivers.

Chu Longhe spoke lightly as if he had just killed two ants and not two Sub-Immortals.

Ao Ye and the rest looked very shocked. They never expected Chu Longhe to be so powerful.

One against two, but he was still able to kill them off.

Ao Ye and Kun Xu exchanged looks. They gave an inward sigh.

Didn’t realize the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground has so many powerful practitioners. They truly have unfathomable depths.

Not only do they have such a mighty Sacred Leader like Shen Tian, who saved North Sea on his own, but they also have powerful elders like Chu Longhe, who can be considered right at the top even amongst Sub-Immortals.

Not to mention that mysterious Zhang Longyuan.

Zhang Longyuan was not there, but no one would dare to underestimate him.

After all, his highly-acclaimed reputation was not just empty talk.

It looked like the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground was destined for great things.

…

Chu Longhe stepped forward and hollered into the sky. “Who else wants to come forward? Let’s have another few Evil Spirit brats for me to practice my moves on!”

Chu Longhe’s battle intent surged. He wanted to continue fighting.

But when he got a clear look at the situation, he couldn’t help being stunned.

There were no more Evil Spirits. They were all trapped inside a formation and were in the process of being killed.

“Damn, it ended so fast? Did reinforcements from the Great Wilderness Celestial Dynasty arrive?”

Chu Longhe was astonished. He didn’t expect the great Evil Spirit army to have been vanquished so quickly.

Ao Ye and the rest smiled as they explained.

Chu Longhe finally snapped out of his trance as pride surfaced on his face. “See that? This is our Sacred Leader.”

Everyone nodded, feeling very grateful.

Chu Longhe got an idea and suddenly hollered. “Everyone, you have all witnessed my Sacred Leader’s mighty prowess.

“I don’t mind telling you that he is my Martial Nephew. I was the one who taught him!

“Now, the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground is accepting disciples, and I am personally teaching at the sacred ground.

“If you enroll now, you will get a 50% discount on your school fees. Accommodation included.

“As long as you have a mighty Sage artifact, you can enter the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground. You will be in the same sect as Sacred Leader Shen Tian then!

“Don’t miss out on this great opportunity!

“After today, this offer will no longer be available…”

The crowd, “…”

Ao Ye couldn’t resist rolling his eyes.

This old fellow was really shameless.

He was still hustling even under such circumstances.

…

At that moment, Shen Tian came down and landed by the side.

With the Heavenly Cycle Star Formation, those Evil Spirits were unable to do anything at all.

As long as they waited patiently, the entire Evil Spirit army would be destroyed by the power of the formation.

However, the crowd was not that joyful despite winning this great battle.

The North Sea races had suffered grievous losses this time. Countless people had lost their loved ones. There were even several races that had been completely wiped out by that battle.

Ao Bing looked very worried.

Beside her, the old Dragon King laid on the floor, his breath very weak. He had suffered very serious injuries, and no normal pill could save him.

The old Dragon King looked tranquil. He had already come to terms with his situation.

He gazed steadily at Shen Tian and forced a smile. “This must be Bing’er’s partner!

“He is indeed extraordinarily handsome. Heroic and dashing.

“It’s all thanks to you that this danger is now resolved.”

Shen Tian cupped his fists respectfully. “Greetings, old Dragon King!”

This was an elder who deserved his utmost respect. He was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect North Sea.

“Good, very good! I will leave Bing’er in your good hands. I can rest easy now.”

The old Dragon King smiled contentedly. Ao Bing was his favorite descendant, and it was only natural that he wanted her to be well taken care of.

“Cough, cough.”

The Old Dragon King’s internal injuries were triggered, and he coughed out blood.

“Great-grandfather!”

Panicking, Ao Bing hurried over to support the old Dragon King. Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

The old Dragon King’s voice was weak as he consoled her. “Child, don’t cry. We all have to die someday. I am already near the end of my natural lifespan anyway. Let today be my final bit of contribution to North Sea!”

Everyone in the crowd got all teary-eyed at his words.

All Sub-Immortals who had undergone at least 13 tribulations could try to transcend to the Mahayana stage. It was just that some had a higher chance of succeeding than others.

For Sub-Thearchs who had undergone at least 24 tribulations, they had a nearly 100% success rate at breaking through to the Mahayana stage and becoming a Perfected Immortal.

The old Dragon King had been suppressing his own cultivation level all this while so that he could oversee Black Dragon Island to ensure his descendants’ continued survival.

He had suppressed himself for tens of thousands of years, all the way until he was now near the end of his natural lifespan.

Previously, he could have made use of his final energy reserves to break through the last barrier to become a Perfected Immortal.

If successful, he could ascend to the Celestial World and make use of the Celestial World’s boundless Spirit Qi to heal himself. He could then live on for tens of thousands of years more.

A pity that he had used up all his energy in the battle with the Immortal Evil Spirit. He had even suffered fatal injuries.

The old Dragon King was fatally wounded, and there was no way to save him.

…

Shen Tian sighed and took out a Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill. He handed it to the old Dragon King.

“Old Dragon King, take this pill. Everything will become better then!”

Conflicting emotions flashed across the faces of everyone when they saw Shen Tian offer the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

They had heard of this peerless divine pill and its heaven-defying effects.

In the outside world, rumors of the miraculous effects of this pill had spread far and wide.

Prodigies from the five regions like Shi Tianzi and Qi Shaoxuan had put up a great performance in this battle.

Their battle prowess and cultivation levels had surpassed even those more senior practitioners.

And it was all thanks to them having consumed the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill.

It could be said that the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill had already become the most precious and revered pill for all cultivators across the five regions.

Now, Shen Tian was offering this pill to the old Dragon King to treat his injuries.

This level of generosity was very admirable.

…

Ao Bing trembled as a tender light surfaced in her eyes. She was extremely touched.

A Thearch-level pill possessed the ability to bring back the dead.

The Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill could even enhance one’s innate talents and change one’s destiny. It was priceless.

After consuming this pill, not only would one’s injuries be healed, but their cultivation level might even rise to the next level.

Unexpectedly, the old Dragon King shook his head. “Young friend, you can’t do that. It’s too precious!

“My life is not worth that much. It is time for me to depart.

“Young friend, it is better that you keep this pill for yourself!”

Shen Tian was not only willing to help rescue North Sea, but he was also willing to give him this peerless pill to save his life.

He was very moved.

“Old Dragon King, please don’t stand on ceremony. Just heal your injuries first!”

Shen Tian spoke up. The old Dragon King was Ao Bing’s great-grandfather after all, plus he had made a major sacrifice for North Sea.

Whether it was for emotional or logical reasons, saving him was the right thing to do.

The great calamity had yet to be resolved, and all the powers of the five regions had to join forces to fend against the enemy.

The old Dragon King was a Sub-Thearch-level practitioner. He could be considered one of the top practitioners in the five regions.

Healing his injuries would be beneficial to the five regions.

“But…”

The old Dragon King wanted to say something else, but his injuries were too grievous, and he ended up coughing blood.

Upon seeing that, Shen Tian immediately shoved the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill into his mouth. He then took out a bottle of Triple Light Divine Water and had the old Dragon King drink from it.

Boosted by the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill and Triple Light Divine Water, the old Dragon King’s aura instantly changed.

His body erupted in a divine glow, and he exuded surging life energy.

Rays of dazzling divine light swirled around his body, splendid and magnificent, possessing mighty energy.

The old Dragon King’s injured body rapidly rejuvenated, and his life aura soon recovered to peak levels.

At the same time, his cultivation level continued to rise. His aura transformed into something majestic and resplendent.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar echoed through the skies.

The old Dragon King rose and flew up to the skies. He radiated with a boundless divine glow, lighting up the entire space.

His aura became increasingly stronger and more vibrant, causing the surrounding clouds to disperse.

Boosted by the Chaotic Sky-Mending Pill, the old Dragon King not only managed to recover fully, but his cultivation level also increased significantly.

Dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed. An intense aura could be felt.

Heavenly Tribulation clouds covered the skies, exuding a terrifying aura as if about to destroy the entire world.

This was the 26th Sub-Thearch Tribulation. Its power was terrifying to the extreme.

Countless tribulation lightning bolts flashed here and there, forming multiple ferocious lightning beasts which roared fiercely.

In an instant, it was like the entire sky had been transported back to an ancient battlefield. Countless ferocious beasts roared and lashed out, their immense power shaking the entire world.

The skies immediately darkened, covered by countless fearsome lightning and clouds.

This energy was terrifying. Many people couldn’t help trembling in fear.

Even Sub-Immortal practitioners were considered insignificant before this level of Heavenly Tribulation.

Just the residual energy leaking out of the area alone was enough to kill a Sub-Immortal.

…

A profound expression crossed Shen Tian’s face.

Was this the power of a Sub-Thearch practitioner? It was indeed very formidable.

If the old Dragon King had not seriously injured the Immortal Evil Spirit and greatly decreased his powers—plus the fact that this world had a huge wormhole and was not stable, which helped to restrain the Immortal Evil Spirit’s movements—it would not have been so easy to win this battle.

At this thought, Shen Tian secretly swore to quickly increase his power.

Although his battle prowess was now far beyond that of a Sub-Immortal, he still had some catching up to do when compared to those peerless top practitioners.

Luckily, he still had many trump cards in his back pocket.

With the Spherical Heaven Chessboard and the God of War Pagoda, he should still be able to easily defeat an Immortal Evil Spirit.

…

The old Dragon King was undergoing a tribulation now.

He had morphed into a 10,000-feet long divine dragon, dominating the skies.

The old Dragon King was bathed in lightning, and his divine dragon power radiated with vibrant invincibility.

Just a wave of his hand could shatter countless divine lightning bolts, penetrating the skies and natural formations.

Even the formidable Heavenly Tribulation was unable to stand before the old Dragon King.

The sky vibrated endlessly, and cracks started to appear, unable to hold the tremendous power.

Before long, all was calm and quiet.

The old Dragon King descended and transformed into a white-haired elder. He looked dashing and heroic, his eyes sparkling with vigor. His aura was powerful to the extreme.

This tribulation not only greatly increased the old Dragon King’s powers but also added 1,000 years to his lifespan.

On top of that, his innate talents were also significantly enhanced. He might even be able to transcend to the Thearch level in the future!

The old Dragon King was thrilled. He didn’t expect this pill to be so potent.

“Thank you, young friend!”

The Ood Dragon King cupped his fists in gratitude.

Not only had Shen Tian saved his life, but he also helped his powers increase. Shen Tian had done him a tremendous favor.

“Thank you, Sacred Leader Shen Tian!”

All the Black Dragon Island practitioners walked over and bowed respectfully toward Shen Tian.

The old Dragon King was their most respected elder. They were moved to tears by Shen Tian’s action to save him.

“Old Dragon King, seniors, I just did what I am supposed to do!”

Shen Tian was very modest and polite.

Shen Aoxue gazed at Shen Tian, feeling rather woeful.

So all these years, I have wronged Father.

Father has always cared for me.

At that moment, Shen Aoxue finally acknowledged Shen Tian as her father.

…

The old Dragon King had recovered, and the Evil Spirit army had retreated in defeat. The North Sea cultivators were all grinning ear to ear. It was a happy, joyful atmosphere.

Many cultivators stepped forward to thank Shen Tian for saving them.

And, of course, amongst them were ladies like Kun Yu and Mermaid Princess Pianxian.

But as they gazed at Shen Tian, their eyes were filled with deep grievance.

Shen Tian’s scalp went numb from their intense looks. He hastily found an excuse to slip away.

Kun Yu and Yu Pianxian sighed as they gazed after Shen Tian’s departing profile.

When will I ever win Shen Tian’s heart?

But I will strive on!

One day, he will finally accept me!
