The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Xuan'ao Cangyuan, dragging the Blackwater Xuanjiao Clan reinforcements that were hot on its heels, fled all the way towards the source of the tide.

The Dingxi Liujin Cup within its body continues to release reverse forces, causing its blood and qi to surge. Thirty percent of its reserved spiritual power has been consumed, leaving only one-tenth. If Xuan Sha catches up with it again, it will surely be trapped in a deadly situation.

Just as it was about to reach the source of the tides, a sudden burning sensation came from its belly—the Dingxi Golden Cup spontaneously broke free from its spiritual power restraints and flew outwards, eventually hovering above the huge crack in the source of the tides caused by an extraterrestrial meteorite impact a hundred years ago.

The next second, the reverse tide patterns engraved all over the cup suddenly lit up, but instead of releasing the power of restraint, three drops of gilded liquid slowly dripped down, falling right into the crack.

The once dull and lifeless source of the tide began to glow with a luminous white light at a speed visible to the naked eye. "Tidal algae" full of vitality began to grow on the edges of the cracks, and even the chaotic tidal forces around it became docile.

Xuan'ao Cangyuan was stunned—it had tried countless times to repair this crack, but had always been powerless. It never expected that the secret treasure that restrained it would be the key to repairing the source of the tide.

Meanwhile, the reverse patterns on the Dingxi gilded cup, which was suspended in mid-air, gradually faded, and an ancient text appeared on the bottom of the cup: "Dingxi is not for restraint, but for protection."

It turns out that this treasure was not originally meant to restrain the power of the tides, but was forged by the ancient Sea-Stabilizing God to protect the source of the tides. It was only later that it fell into the hands of the Blackwater Xuanjiao Clan and was used by Xuansha as a weapon to restrain the tides.

Therefore, the Xuan'ao clan gradually declined in power.

Cang Yuan was so happy he cried.

It turns out that the Xuan'ao tribe was not a tribe abandoned by the sea god. On the contrary, they were warriors who guarded the East Sea.

At this moment, the perseverance that has lasted for nearly 100,000 years has received the highest recognition.

Ten thousand years of pent-up frustration have finally dissipated.

At this moment, as the crack was repaired, the gilded cup resonated slightly with the "undying tide pearl" of Xuan'ao Cangyuan, and the sense of restraint within the body dissipated by more than half.

Xuan Sha, who had caught up with them, changed his expression upon seeing the scene. He had never known the true purpose of the Dingxi Golden Cup, and now that he saw the treasure resonating with the Xuan'ao Clan, he immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

Xuan'ao Cangyuan regained its senses, its eyes hardening. It protected the gilded cup and simultaneously activated the restored power of the Tide Source, unleashing an unprecedentedly powerful tide around it. A final showdown between the secret treasure and the source erupted in the depths of the East Sea.

The shimmering white light of the source of the tides intertwined with the gilded glow of the Dingxi Gilded Cup, forming a translucent cocoon of light around the Xuan'ao Cangyuan.

Seeing this, Xuan Sha knew that if he allowed the light cocoon to break through, he would have no chance of winning. He immediately led seven seventh-level elders to form the "Black Water Soul Devouring Formation". Countless black water arrows shot towards the light cocoon like a rainstorm, trying to interrupt the breakthrough process.

Ripples spread across the outer layer of the cocoon of light, and the restored power of the Tidal Source automatically formed a barrier, blocking all the black water arrows.

Within Xuan'ao Cangyuan's body, the resonance between the Undying Tide Pearl and the Golden Cup grew stronger, and the runes that had been dormant due to restraint lit up again, flowing through his body along his meridians.

This is no longer a simple superposition of spiritual power, but a fusion of two forces: the grandeur of the tides and the stability of gilding, which dyes its demon core into a two-tone "Tide Gilded Pearl".

"Boom!" A muffled sound came from the cocoon of light. The bottleneck of the late stage of Mahayana was shattered. Xuan'ao Cangyuan's aura surged instantly. The seawater around him churned violently, and even the distant trench was trembling slightly.

This is a true case of turning misfortune into blessing.

This time, not only was Cangyuan's damaged essence repaired, but it also helped it break through to the late stage of Mahayana in one go.

The Xuan'ao clan has finally been reborn.

Cang Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His originally pale blue pupils were now shimmering with a golden luster. On his mountain-like body, the black armor runes and golden patterns intertwined, forming a layer of "Tidal Golden Armor" on his body.

Xuan Sha's pupils shrank sharply, but he was still unwilling to give up. He activated the great formation, which transformed into a huge black water dragon, and opened its huge mouth to bite Xuan Ao Cang Yuan.

This time, Xuan'ao Cangyuan no longer dodged. It raised its giant foot, covered with gilded patterns, and stepped directly at the Black Water Dragon. In the past, the Xuan Armor, which would be corroded by the black water, now absorbed all the black water and transformed it into its own spiritual power.

"Mysterious Armor Sea-Stabilizing Technique!" it roared, its body expanding once more, like a gilded mountain pressing down on the Black Water Dragon, whose body crumbled piece by piece under the immense force.

Xuan Sha burst out from the remains of the dragon, holding a broken array flag. He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, instantly raising his cultivation to the late stage of the Mahayana realm, and used his last bit of power to escape.

Cang Yuan did not pursue Xuan Sha.

After all, it had only just broken through, and the Xuan'ao clan still had many things to deal with.

Now, its cultivation level has surpassed that of Xuan Sha, and completely eradicating the Blackwater Xuan Jiao Clan still requires careful planning.

After all, the Blackwater Shark Clan also has allies, such as the Crimson Scale Clan, who attacked together last time.

Cang Yuan wouldn't be so arrogant as to think that Xuan Sha didn't have any desperate moves.

However, Cang Yuan never expected that while he was still planning the "Slay the Blackwater Shark" alliance, Xuan Sha had already extended his evil claws to the Dragon Clan.

Deep in the East China Sea.

Undercurrents, carrying the salty and bloody stench, surged among the coral reefs of the nameless island.

Cang Yuan stood at the forefront of the Xuan'ao Clan, a wisp of extremely faint water elemental energy condensing at his fingertips. His gaze pierced through layers of turbid seawater, landing on the golden pillar of light soaring into the sky in the center of the island—a sign of the awakening of the Yinglong inheritance, and also the source of all the current disputes.

The East Sea Dragon Clan has indeed declined.

However, the Dragon King of the East Sea led the elite of the dragon race to the battlefield of the extraterrestrial invasion in order to protect Qingyuan Star, which led to the decline of the East Sea Dragon Clan.

Just like the former Xuan'ao King of the Xuan'ao Clan.

Unfortunately, Cang Yuan doesn't understand the dragon race nowadays, and doesn't know if they, like the Xuan'ao race, still retain their original intentions.

Cang Yuan decided to first learn about the current situation of the East Sea Dragon Clan.

As it happened, Xuan Yuan, the current patriarch of the Ink Sea Dragon Turtle, was friends with Long Ao Kui, the Grand Elder of the Dragon Clan, and immediately inquired about the Ink Sea Dragon Turtle.

The answer is self-evident.

When Xuan Yuan, the chieftain of the Mo Hai Dragon Turtle Clan, received the message, his deep voice resonated so loudly that it caused ripples to spread across the surrounding seawater: "That old dragon Long Aokui is stubborn. When he went to war with the Dragon King, he lost half of his dragon tail and has been guarding the East Sea Eye ever since, never leaving it for even a moment."

The dragons have always guarded the eye of the East Sea, never daring to slacken their guard. Even as they watched the East Sea dragons decline, they remained unwavering.

This perseverance is in no way inferior to that of the Xuan'ao tribe.

Given this, Xuan Yuan immediately decided to lead the Xuan'ao Clan to lend a helping hand.

Upon learning the news, Xuan Yuan, the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle, also led his Deep Sea Dragon Turtles to provide support.

When the two sides met, they sensed Yinglong's presence and were both happy for the dragon race.

Although the Sea God Palace is the guardian deity of the sea people.

However, the Sea God Palace rarely participates in battles between sea creatures.

Perhaps the first generation of sea god was worried that the Sea God Palace would act arbitrarily and commit murder in the future.

Therefore, the sea creatures have long had a tacit understanding, forming alliances among their respective groups and never placing their hopes on the Sea God's Palace. Unless—a crisis of annihilation.

Of course, this is on the premise that the entire clan is not composed of people with a history of bloodshed.

When Cang Yuan and Xuan Yuan arrived, they were as expected to see that Xuan Sha had somehow recovered to the mid-stage of the Mahayana realm.

Moreover, the Red Scale Clan, the Blackwater Sea Serpent Clan, and the Deep-Sea Electric Eel Clan were also traveling with them.

These three races all have some dragon bloodline, so they must have come for the sake of the dragon race.

Transform into a dragon!

The key is still Yinglong.

That's a dragon!

However, the three clans of Crimson Scale, Blackwater Sea Python, and Deep-Sea Electric Eel had previously been hiding far away.

This is preparation...

Just then, a piercing shriek suddenly tore through the water, and several crimson shadows emerged from the distant trench. The Crimson Scale Clan cultivators were clad in lava-like scale armor, and the tridents in their hands gleamed with a poisonous dark green in the dim light of the deep sea.

Cang Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He clearly remembered that three days ago in the deep-sea fortress of the Xuan'ao Clan, Xuan Yuan had said: "The Crimson Scale Clan and the East Sea Dragon Clan had a thousand-year alliance. Who knew that the Dragon Clan had declined, and the Crimson Scale Clan actually formed an alliance with the Blackwater Xuanjiao Clan."

Unexpectedly, the eyes of those Crimson Scale Clan members were filled with nothing but greed for the "dragon transformation." Seeing the dragon reinforcements arrive, they couldn't wait to leap out, baring their fangs and claws as they began their attack.

Further away, the giant serpents of the Blackwater Sea Serpent Clan were wrapping their barbed bodies around the coral reef, and dark green venom seeped out from the cracks in the rocks, turning the surrounding seawater into a deathly dark green.

Deep-sea electric eels lurk at the bottom of ocean trenches, their smooth bodies radiating blue electric currents. Occasionally, bursts of electric arcs can even create tiny holes in the hard sea rocks.

Ha ha!

So impatient!

"These bastards are taking advantage of our misfortune and still want to reap the benefits." Xuan Yuan's tortoise shell suddenly emitted a layer of earthy yellow light, which was the innate defensive divine power of the Ink Sea Dragon Turtle clan, "Thick Earth Xuan Armor".

Just as he was about to order the Xuan'ao Clan cultivators to form a defensive formation, a deafening dragon roar suddenly came from the direction of the island—the body of the Dragon Cloud Python was torn open by Xuan Sha's black claw wind, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone. Dark golden dragon blood fell like broken pearls, turning into a dazzling golden-red in the seawater.

Cang Yuan no longer hesitated, his right hand forming a sword shape with his fingers together, and the "Primordial True Qi" within his body instantly reached its peak.

The Xuan'ao warriors behind him immediately understood, and dozens of deep blue water arrows shot out from the tips of the bone staffs in their hands, weaving into an impenetrable net of arrows in the air, heading straight for the Crimson Scale Clan's formation.

"Fellow Daoist Cangyuan, I'm here to help you!" The Great Elder of the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle Clan suddenly rushed out of the trench. Its shell carried a miniature water element array. As the array operated, countless ice shards condensed from the seawater and shot towards the Electric Eel Clan.

Xuan Sha was currently locked in combat with Long Yunmang.

His body was shrouded in a thick black mist, from which several black tentacles would occasionally extend, each touch leaving a charred mark on the dragon scales of the Dragon Cloud Python.

"Dragon Cloud Python, what right do you, a mere python, have to accept the inheritance of Yinglong?" Xuan Sha's voice was strangely hoarse. He suddenly opened his mouth, and a black beam of light shot out, heading straight for Dragon Cloud Python's chest.

The dragon python had no time to dodge and could only use its claws to protect its heart. The moment the beam of light struck the claws, black mist seeped into its body through the gaps in the claws, causing it to let out a painful dragon roar.

Upon seeing this, the chieftain of the Crimson Scale Clan immediately ordered, "Everyone, listen to my command! Attack the Black Tortoise Clan and the Deep Sea Dragon Turtle Clan with all your might! As long as we can hold them back, Lord Xuan Sha will naturally be able to obtain the Yinglong Inheritance!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he charged toward Xuan Yuan with his trident in hand. The tip of the trident was flashing with crimson flames, which did not go out in the seawater but instead burned brighter and brighter.

Xuan Yuan snorted coldly, and the thick earth armor on the tortoise shell instantly thickened several times. He charged towards the attack of the Crimson Scale Clan Chief. With a loud "bang," the Crimson Scale Clan Chief was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing that the Crimson Scale Clan was in a difficult battle, the giant pythons of the Blackwater Sea Python Clan immediately changed their strategy. Their bodies suddenly became as soft as silk, and they coiled around the Xuan'ao Clan cultivators along the direction of the seawater flow.

A young Xuan'ao cultivator was unable to dodge in time and was entangled by the giant python. The venom spewed from the python's mouth dripped onto his Xuan armor, making a "sizzling" corrosive sound.

"Be careful!" Upon seeing this, Cang Yuan immediately flew towards the cultivator. He condensed his true energy into a long sword and slashed the giant python's body in half.
