“The necromancers of old are really amazing. They could even produce a sun!” Zhou Bao secretly praised them in his heart. However, this was not the time to be envious of the ancient necromancer’s strength. Studying the functions of the golden dummy bracelet, Zhou Bao could not help being intrigued by it. It was an extremely useful thing and the only Pure Yang Celestial Device in which Zhou Bao was interested in among the 18 Pure Yang Celestial Devices.

The other celestial devices were built to be used for attack or defense only, which was not attractive to him at all due to its lack of creativity.

When he harbored a thought in the heart, the golden circle immediately changed into a bracelet and wrapped itself round Zhou Bao’s left wrist. “Hump, one day, when we have a son, I will let him wear this as a necklace. And give him a Red Armillary Sash, a Fire-tipped Spear, Wind Fire Wheels. Cosplaying Third Prince Nezha!” All these thoughts were in his heart. “Oh, yes. Third Prince. I almost forgot about you. I will also rob you!”

Without any further delay, he left. With a spinning motion, he drilled his way underground.

The sea was a bit choppy. Zhou Bao’s body was like a black fish, swiftly swimming in the sea and fully utilizing the speed of the Primitive Dragon Chimera.

Rolling Dragon Palace was located in the center of the Rolling Dragon King Sea Area. There was an underwater basin here.

What was the underwater basin?

It meant the Palace was surrounded by a ring of mountains on three sides and on a trench on the other.

The entire Rolling Dragon Palace occupied an area that stretched thousands of meters long in the underwater basin. It was very luxurious. Even the track leading to the Palace was paved with pearls.

Under the sea, although pearls were of no value, it was not easy to find a completely formed pearl the size of a fist.

Now, it was noisier than the norm in the Rolling Dragon Palace. A big defensive formation had been raised, forming a giant egg-shaped canopy and it covered the whole basin.

Above the transparent egg-shaped canopy, lights of different colors were continuously flashing. Meanwhile, earsplitting roars could be heard.

Boom, boom, boom!

The loud thunderous roars went on and on unceasingly.

A rogue pneuma wave scattered the turbulence in all directions and leveled the hilltops surrounding the Rolling Dragon Palace.

At first, the Rolling Dragon Palace was in the middle of the three undersea hills. However, now, the three hilltops had been razed by a violent energy. The demons at the Individual Immortal levels could not get within a radius of a thousand meters. Only those who were at the Level of True Immortality could approach only within an area of a hundred meters of the Palace. Very few could get close to the core area.

Now there were 152 people in total attacking this egg-shaped canopy, including two Genuine Immortals of Lord of Heaven Realm. Nobody knew how long the fierce attack had been going on. Zhou Bao noticed that the egg-shaped canopy was quivering and some of its energy was depleted each time it suffered a hit.

“Wonderful guys. They have cut off the surrounding earth veins. This formation could not effectively absorb the earth vein’s spiritual qi. The strong celestial device is used continuously to consume the energy of the defensive formation until the stored energy is used up. Hehe. What a great idea!”

“What a great disturbance!”

Genuine Immortals, among which two were at Lord of Heaven Realm and the other at Venerable Realm, were staking out the Rolling Dragon Palace and had destroyed the earth vein; they now had the upper hand.

However, Zhou Bao did not think that they could win that easily. After all, the Rolling Dragon King had been the dominant ruler in this Sea Area for many years. He probably held the winning cards in his hand. The prisoners had been under attack for such a long time already. But the Rolling Dragon King did not show up. He must have his own plan. Moreover, the Rolling Dragon King was not the only one controlling this Sea Area. The other four Dragon Kings were not to be trifled with. Even if they were happy to see the Rolling Dragon King get into trouble, the escaped prisoners also included their enemies. They had governed the Five-dragon Regions for many years and were not willing to see it fall into everlasting chaos. Now the most chaotic place was in the Rolling Dragon King’s Sea Area, plus some extended area around it. If the chaos were to affect the other Dragon Kings’ territories, they would certainly take measures.

Therefore, although the escaped prisoners from the Dragon Abyss Prison showed tremendous fighting spirit, Zhou Bao was not optimistic about them winning the battle. Five-dragon Regions was a Sea Area which was in stable order and this made it difficult for it to be torn apart for such a reason. This time, the Dragon Abyss Prison Incident had happened so suddenly that nobody responded to the situation immediately, which resulted in the chaos at the Sea Area. However, the actual chaos occurred only at the Rolling Dragon King’s Sea Area. All this had been going on for sometime. After a while, some people left the Rolling Dragon King Sea Area and some escaped. The chaotic situation began to settle down. It was becoming more settled. To protect their own interest, the prisoners of the Dragon Abyss Prison had also started to fight against each other. Up till now, Zhou Bao did not often get the chance to see a situation whereby the prisoners of the Dragon Abyss Prison handled the Rolling Dragon King’s subordinates. Instead, he always saw the prisoners fighting against each other for their own good.

It was not a good situation!

Chaos, only sustained chaos would give the prisoners their chance. However, now, the chaos was gradually brought under control. That meant a counterattack opportunity was coming. Either the Rolling Dragon King or the other four Dragon Kings or the Region Masters of the 18 Dragon-bone Regions, as the rulers in this Sea Area, did not expect that the chaos would carry on in such a manner. It was not in accordance with their interests. The prisoners from the Dragon Abyss Prison had stronger abilities than could be imagined. However, since they lacked the spirit of cooperation, then the rulers of this Sea Area could crush them one by one.

They had not taken any action till now not because they feared the prisoners, but because the opportunity was not there.

Perhaps, as time went by, this opportunity would be a possibility.

Zhou Bao held his breath and relaxed his whole body with the help of the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, silently watching the egg-shaped canopy above the Rolling Dragon Palace and appearing to be deep in thought.

The other four Dragon Kings were so calm and had worked out a deliberate plan. Obviously, they were very confident of the defensive formation made by the Rolling Dragon Palace. The earth vein, though broken, would give them enough time before the counterattack. Once they began to attack, Zhou Bao did not think that he would have a chance to seize the treasure from the Third Prince.

“Catch them on the wrong foot! Since you’re so confident with the egg-shaped canopy, let me destroy it. You’ll lose the Rolling Dragon Palace. By then, Rolling Dragon Palace will be in a greater chaos. I just need to capture Third Prince!”

At this thought, Zhou Bao started getting into action. He set about setting up the Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

The conditions under the sea were different from that in the Seven-deity Regions. For the practitioners in the Seven-deity Regions, they normally absorb the spiritual qi and pneuma from the air because it was convenient and within reach. However, things were slightly different under the sea. There was not much air and water in the surroundings. The physical structure of the demons and living creatures in the sea also differed from that in the Seven-deity Regions. Although they could absorb a little bit air from the seawater, it was impossible to separate the spiritual qi and pneuma from this type of air.

The demons and living creatures in the sea cultivated themselves by relying on the earth vein.

Compared with the Seven-deity Regions, the spiritual qi and pneuma of the earth vein were all covered and coated with thick soil. However, the earth vein, which was a thin layer, could be easily discovered and taken. The pneuma and spiritual qi in the earth vein were the basic and most important thing for the demons to practice on. Moreover, absorbing and utilizing the pneuma of the earth vein were just a matter of instinct for them.

Hence, Rolling Dragon King used the pneuma of the earth vein to form a big defensive formation. Now the prisoners had cut off the pneuma and were still attacking strongly. However, the formation was made by the Rolling Dragon King many years ago and had absorbed the earth vein’s pneuma, which had been stored for many years. In such a way, even if the pneuma was cut off, the formation still had a formidable defensive power, which made it difficult for the prisoners to win the battle.

Since the earth vein’s pneuma had been cut off, the Rolling Dragon Palace which had been engulfed by the egg-shaped canopy could not gather all the pneuma in that short while. And the prisoners of the Dragon Abyss Prison were in full attacking mode and not there just for practicing. Consequently, both sides in the fight did not pay attention to the underwater earth vein.

Zhou Bao had taken note of it. In addition to that, he would take advantage of it to set up his own formation: Yin and Yang Dust Formation!

Personal strength was limited while the original energy of the heaven and earth was infinite. Now that the formation at the Rolling Dragon Palace was constructed based on the energy of the heaven and earth, it could also be destroyed by the same energy.

The formation at the Rolling Dragon Palace was a defensive type. It was not mysterious but practical. However, Zhou Bao had a much more superior formation: Yin and Yang Dust Formation.

Certainly, it was impossible to set up a complete Yin and Yang Dust Formation. The lucky thing was that Zhou Bao had an Innate Qi Talisman at hand. Furthermore, he was in an environment where he could directly guide the earth vein’s pneuma. From this pneuma and spiritual qi, he could easily set up a formation which could destroy the formation here. It was also his purpose.
