The Dragon Kings did not give in at all. They stared at the mighty figure at the peak of the Creation Realm who came from their ancestor. To them, dragging out an ignoble existence was worse than having their lives taken.
The Dragon Tribe had dominated the sea region for tens of thousands of years. If they were forced to hide under their ancestor's wings because of the Sea God's comeback, where would the Dragon Tribe's reputation go?
When the Manifestation stage expert came here again, he already understood that the mission this time around was not as easy as he had imagined. Given the Dragon Tribe's arrogant character, it was impossible for them to agree to this suggestion.
At this moment, he was still trying his best to persuade the dragon kings. "The Sea God is too powerful now. An ordinary peak Manifestation stage expert will not be able to hold on for long. Everyone here is a famous figure in the Sea Tribe. Why don't you choose to lie low for the time being and wait for the day when you can destroy the Sea God in one fell swoop and take revenge for your brothers in the East Sea?"
"My strength is inferior to the Sea God. If I continue to endure this humiliation, I'm afraid I will not have any hope of revenge in this lifetime. When that time comes, will all the dragon descendants have to live with their tails between their legs? That is definitely not the Dragon Tribe's style of doing things. " The Dragon King of the South Sea spat out two scorching flames from his nose, burning a hole in the great hall.
As for the other Dragon Tribe members, even though they had not reached the Manifestation stage, they all took a step forward and used their actions to show their attitude.
There was no lack of almighty beings in the Sea Clan who had reached the Manifestation Realm. At this moment, their thoughts gradually became more active. They did not belong to the same clan as the Dragon Clan, so there was no need for them to risk their lives for the future of the Dragon Clan. Hence, after a period of struggle, two people walked out and cupped their hands towards the almighty at the peak of the Manifestation Realm.
"Lord Envoy, the two of us are willing to listen to the ancestor's lecture."
As for the elite practitioners in the great hall, when they stared at the two brothers, their gazes were a little strange. Generally speaking, a peak Manifestation practitioner would have an illustrious reputation and they valued their reputation the most. Therefore, at this moment, it was impossible for them to choose to drag out an ignoble existence just because their lives were at stake. The actions of the two brothers were really despicable.
The three great dragon kings simultaneously looked at the two experts with fury in their hearts.
Over the years, the Dragon Tribe had ruled over the vast Sea Region and had been extremely tolerant to all the Sea Tribes. Apart from some resources that had to be handed over to the Dragon Palace, most of the resources were allowed to be kept by these tribes for their own development. Unexpectedly, such a conciliatory policy not only failed to make the experts of the Sea Tribes grateful, but also caused them to gradually become disloyal to the rule of the Dragon Palace. It was really intolerable.
The two experts felt a little uneasy under everyone's gazes. However, for the sake of their lives, they could not be bothered about it at this moment. No one knew how many lives they would have to sacrifice if they fought with the Sea God. As the pillars of the clan, the moment the two of them died, the entire clan would become someone else's prisoner. This was something that they did not wish to see no matter what.
This was also the reason why they had no choice but to make such a decision. For the development of their race, they had to make such a choice, even if they were condemned by thousands of people.
With the two of them taking the lead, the other experts of the Sea Tribes were no longer pedantic people. Gradually, other colors began to appear in their eyes.
Compared to the safety of the entire clan, what was their own reputation worth? These people were all ancestor-level figures of their respective clans. Many of their descendants had grown up under their eyes.
It was impossible for these people to sacrifice the lives of tens of thousands of their descendants for the sake of a good reputation.
With someone taking the lead, more and more experts stood up. Even the Universe stage experts were anxiously looking at the peak Manifestation stage emissary, hoping that he would lead them to the straits to undergo seclusion.
When the three great dragon kings saw this situation, they could not help but sigh. Although the Dragon Tribe was on an equal footing with the other clans and could not directly command the lives and deaths of the other clans, it was understandable for them to make such a choice for the sake of their respective clans.
As for the words of the ancestor, no one doubted it. Given the ancestor's abilities, not to mention the Sea God would not dare to go. Even if the ancestor went, he would only be met with death.
Many of the Manifestation stage experts present had lived for at least a thousand years. However, for as long as they could remember, the elders of their respective clans had instructed them that there was one person in the sea region that they absolutely could not offend. It was said that this person was in a deep sleep in the straits of the East Sea for a long period of time. He would only wake up and set things right if there was any unrest on the continent. Other than that, no one was allowed to go there and disturb his slumber.
This legend had been passed down for many generations. When the wealthier members of the Sea Tribes felt that their strength had broken through to the peak of the Manifestation stage and could no longer advance, they would leave their clans without hesitation and head to the straits of the East Sea to search for the legendary ancestor's footprints.
Many people firmly believed in this. Since the Immortal Martial Continent was able to give birth to three Dao Comprehending stage existences, there was no reason why the sea region, which was larger and had more resources, would be weaker than the people on the continent.
Everyone had a bold guess in their hearts. The ancestor of the Sea Tribe might be an ultimate Dao Comprehending stage expert. However, due to some reason, he did not choose to leave the continent. Instead, he silently hid in the East Sea and chose to protect the peace of this world.
Very soon, the large hall was split into two camps. One group was the almighty experts who had chosen to head to the East Sea to train in seclusion, while the other group was those who had a deep relationship with the Dragon Tribe. They had chosen to help the Dragon Tribe overcome this crisis even if it cost them their lives.
The peak Manifestation stage almighty expert was also old friends with the three dragon kings. At this moment, he still could not bear to see his three old friends wither away like this.
With a sigh, he walked up to his three good friends and sighed helplessly, "You all know the old ancestor's temper. As long as it doesn't violate the rules of the continent, he won't bother to do anything. The reason why we gathered Qian Qian, the almighty at the peak of the Fate Realm, to sit down and listen to the lecture is that every expert at the peak of the Fate Realm might be able to take that crucial step at any time and become an existence in the Enlightenment Realm. This is very important to the Elder Ancestor. I hope the three of you can understand.
Although the West Sea Dragon King was extremely unwilling, he still did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction when he heard the words "ancestor".
"Ever since the existence of the sea region, the ancestor has been silently protecting the Immortal Martial Continent. It has already been countless years. No matter what the outcome of the battle with the sea god is, I believe that the creatures in the sea region will not face a disaster."
No one could clearly say how long the ancestor that the people of the Sea Tribe spoke of had lived for.
In fact, most of the people present had never seen this face before. This was the appearance of their legendary ancestor. They only knew how terrifying this old man was from some scattered records in the clan.
The peak Manifestation stage almighty expert nodded towards the experts in the large hall and took the lead to soar into the sky. As for the five peak Manifestation stage experts behind him, the group of six gradually broke through the sky in the direction of the Eastern Sea.
As for those Cosmos stage experts, they did not have the qualifications to go to the Eastern Sea. They could only stay in the large hall and advance and retreat together with the Dragon tribe.
In the large hall, the West Sea Dragon King suddenly released all of his pressure, causing the hearts of the Universe Stage experts, who had previously threatened to follow him to the East Sea in front of the peak Manifestation stage powerhouses, to tremble. Was he going to settle the score after the fall?
What caused them to be surprised was that the development of the matter had exceeded their expectations. Although the West Sea Dragon King's aura was growing stronger, he did not have any intention of targeting them.
"I know that many of the experts present do not have the slightest confidence in this battle. Therefore, many of you feel that our Dragon tribe cannot be relied on and wish to follow those experts to the Eastern Sea to seek the protection of the ancestor. Our three great dragon palaces will not blame everyone for this." The West Sea Dragon King's expression was grave.
"Even we do not have the slightest confidence in this calamity. How would we dare to hope that all of you will sacrifice your lives for the glory of our Dragon tribe? If any of the experts present wish to leave, why don't you leave now. We, the three great dragon kings, promise that we will not make things difficult for you. "The South Sea Dragon King took a step forward with a sorrowful expression on his face.
All the experts present looked at each other. However, even after a long time, no one moved a single step.
"Three dragon kings, the reason why we had such thoughts earlier was because we saw the hope of survival. If we can survive under the protection of the ancestor, the Sea God will naturally not find trouble with us. However, our strength has not reached the requirements of the ancestor. Once the Sea God completely breaks through the Dragon tribe, it is likely that we will not be able to escape. Therefore, we might as well cut off our means of retreat and sink our boats with the Sea God this time around." A young expert from the Sea God Clan took a step forward. After which, he did not back down as he looked at the three great dragon kings and voiced his thoughts.
This was basically the thoughts of all the experts present. Without the protection of the ancestor, they were no different from ants in the eyes of the Sea God. The other party could find them in the sea at any time.
Since this was the case, they, who no longer had any path of retreat, could only choose to stand with the Dragon tribe and fight together. They wanted to see if there was any chance to turn the situation around.
"Alright, since everyone trusts my Dragon tribe, let us live and die together this time around. I promise that if the Sea God wishes to harm your tribe, he must step over the corpses of all the members of the Dragon tribe." The West Sea Dragon King's tone was high. After which, he suddenly spread his arms. A sharp short blade appeared in his left hand and cut a bloody wound on his right arm!
This was a method of swearing that was unique to the members of the Sea God Clan. Threads of blood gradually seeped out from the snow wound. The West Sea Dragon King's left hand touched the blood and wiped it on his lips.
"I swear that I will not retreat until I die!"
The four experts in the hall were all filled with fighting spirit at this moment. They repeated the same action. After that, the entire hall became filled with a dense bloody smell. However, no one was afraid. Instead, a raging battle flame burned in their eyes.
Although the four brothers of the East Sea Dragon Palace had not fully recovered from their injuries, they felt a surge of emotions when they saw everyone's determination. As long as everyone was united, they should be able to obstruct the Sea God no matter how powerful he was.
