Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 98 Lia's Journey to the Underworld, Blue's Escape to the Underworld
Just as Lia began her journey, on the other side, in Hell, on the Blood Peak Continent, in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains.

Inside the Azure Dragon Hall, four figures sat side by side, each with a resolute expression on their face.

With only a million years left until the ten trillion years that Dennington set for them, the Four Divine Beasts are about to face their final moment.

“Brother, in the last few trillion years, including the three members of the Azure Dragon Clan, two members of the White Tiger Clan, two members of the Vermilion Bird Clan, and one member of the Black Tortoise Clan, our four divine beast clans have added a total of eight elders. Currently, there are 128 remaining Seven Star Demon Elders.”

The White Tiger Clan Chief Gess spoke in a hoarse voice, his tone filled with unspeakable exhaustion.

One hundred and twenty-eight seven-star demons may sound like a lot, but for the Four Divine Beasts Clan, it's less than half of their peak number. Moreover, the elders of the eight major clans combined are conservatively estimated to number over two hundred.

"Our time is running out, and Gaia and the other two haven't sent any news back."

Gasleysen rubbed his temples and sighed softly.

"Big brother, Gaia and the others are all Asuras with two main artifacts, they will definitely be fine."

Seeing this, Tia composed herself and offered words of comfort.

"I'm not worried about that. What I'm more worried about is that Gaia and the other two will eventually come back and perish with us!"

Gasleysen clenched his fist, stroking the finger that once held the Azure Dragon Ring, then revealed a resolute expression:

"In a few days, we'll find an opportunity to send some elders out to attract the attention of the eight great families. Secretly, I'll have Blue take the family's legacy and the Awakening Pool with him and have him find Gaia and Mori, and tell them not to come back!"

Gasleysen’s voice was tinged with grief, but the other three did not object.

The Four Divine Beasts Clan has been able to survive for countless years and possess a large number of powerful individuals, thanks to two main reasons: first, the support of their ancestors, the Four Divine Beasts; and second, the Talent Awakening Pool, which allows future generations of the clan to possess innate supernatural abilities.

Now that they have lost their ancestors, they only have the Talent Awakening Pool as their foundation. If the Talent Awakening Pool is with them in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range, it will inevitably be destroyed by the eight great families in the end.

Last time, when Gaia and Mori left, they had plenty of time, so they left alone without taking the Awakening Pool with them. Over the trillions of years, many descendants of the families in the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountains have risen to prominence.

But now, with only a million years left, Gaisresen finally decided to let Blue escape with the family's Awakening Pool and hide with Gaia Mori, while nurturing the family's next generation and waiting for the day when a great god of the family rises to power, waiting for the moment when the water elemental overlord falls in the great war of the gods.

"It's just a hardship for the people born in the next million years, as they won't even be able to awaken their innate supernatural abilities."

Chief Tia of the Vermilion Bird Clan gently smoothed her red hair, revealing a regretful expression.

"In a million years, even the most talented juniors won't reach the level of a seven-star demon and won't be able to help."

The White Tiger Clan Chief Gess looked weary, muttering dejectedly.

"Get ready. After Blue leaves, we must prepare for a final battle. Even if it means death, we will make the eight great families pay the price!"

Gasleysen spoke coldly at the end, ending the patriarchal meeting in silence.

Ten days later, several elders from the Four Divine Beasts Clan suddenly appeared together, catching the Eight Great Clans off guard.

While the eight major families mobilized their forces to attack, Bolin immediately realized that there might be a problem and arranged for people to patrol the surrounding area, eventually discovering the escaped Blue.

However, Blue was far stronger than the Seven Star Demon who discovered him, and in the end, he killed three elders of the Bolin family by himself before escaping.

"boom!"

In the territory of the eight great families, three figures of the Bolin family knelt on the ground, their heads bowed cautiously.

"In other words, Blue still escaped. Including Gaia and Mori, quite a few of them escaped."

Bolin was silent for a while, then muttered to himself and waved his hand weakly.

Seeing this, the three quickly retreated, leaving only Pauline alone.

"It seems this battle will last a long time. However, even if you hide at the ends of the earth, I will find you all. Before that, I will destroy the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range!" Bolin's face showed a bit of anger and annoyance. Then he turned around and left the family's residence, flying towards the headquarters of the eight major families ahead.

Meanwhile, in the starry sea, inside an unremarkable blue metallic lifeform, a silver-haired youth suddenly opened his eyes.

"Clan leader, rest assured, I will join the elders and the others to ensure the continuation of the clan."

Blue wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his pupils filled with blood red, as if to express his resentment.

At this moment, Bru felt immense pain. His family was about to face annihilation, but he could not face it with his people because he had a more important task.

As a genius elder once favored by the ancestor Azure Dragon, Bru felt that he was too weak. If he could become an Asura, or even reach the Great Perfection, he would not be in this situation.

"Whoosh!"

Blue remained silent for a long time, then put away his metallic life form, changed his appearance, and transformed into a burly man with black hair and a large beard. He then flew towards the teleportation array.

"What are you doing!"

Two soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the Golden Star God Army immediately noticed him and spoke in a serious tone.

"This is inkstone, take it to the underworld!"

Blue spoke in a rough voice, casually tossing out a spatial ring, his tone sinister.

"Yes, sir, please come with me."

Star Army took the spatial ring, immediately changed his expression, and guided Blue to the teleportation array.

Meanwhile, in the underworld, at Blood Luo Palace.

On a plain surrounded by mountains, houses of all sizes stand in rows, and dozens of figures patrol the area outside the tribe.

In the center of the tribe, in a grand hall made of blood crystal, an old man with gray hair and wearing a gray robe sat in the main seat.

After an unknown amount of time, the gray-haired old man suddenly stood up, staring blankly at the silver-haired figure that had appeared before him. He bowed respectfully and addressed the figure:
"Rhys greets Elder Blue!"

At this moment, the silver-haired youth who appeared in front of the gray-haired old man Rhys was none other than Bru who came from the Tianji Mountain Range.

"Rhys, you've worked so hard all these years."

Bru raised his hand to help Rhys up, offered some words of comfort, and after glancing at the tribe before him, his expression softened slightly.

When the Four Divine Beasts Clan was hunted down, not all of them escaped back to the Heavenly Sacrifice Mountain Range. A small number of them went into hiding. Some lost contact with their clans, while others were discovered and eliminated. The tribe under Rhys's jurisdiction was one of the few remaining branches of the Four Divine Beasts Clan that still existed in the divine plane.

Blue hadn't left the Tianji Mountains for a long time, and since Gaia and Mori knew how to conceal themselves, Blue came to Rhys to gather information.

"Well? Have you found out anything about the two elders?"

After offering a few words of reassurance to Rhys, Bru got straight to the point.

"Elder, our people are trying to gather information in the Demon Castle. They should make a discovery in a while."

Upon hearing this, Rhys spoke with some hesitation. Although they had integrated into the Underworld over the years and had certain intelligence channels in the Demon Castle, finding the Grand Elder's whereabouts was still very difficult.

"Alright, don't be too anxious. I'll stay here for a while."

Bru didn't blame him when he heard this. He knew that Rhys had done his best, and he also knew that it would be even harder to find him if he ran around like a headless fly. So he stopped in the tribe for the time being.
