Chapter 93: Chapter 21 Rain Invocation_2
Translator: 549690339 |
“The Heavenly Court had thought that they could rest easy, yet a Water God named River God emerged from the sources of all rivers.”
Based on himself, he established a system called River God, connecting all Water Gods worldwide. All deities that control river territories are also known as River Gods. This bundle of River Gods together created a system that controls the clouds and the rain independently, even defying the decrees of the Heavenly Court.
The emergence of the River God once again ignited fear within the Heavenly Court. They desperately hope that a member of the Aquatic Tribe could replace the River God, eliminating this rebel who defies the commands of the Heavenly Court.
With the support of the Heavenly Court, a system led by the Dragon Sovereign of the Aquatic Tribe replaced the River God, becoming the overlord controlling all waters in the world.
The Dragon Sovereign relies on the blood lineage to connect rivers, lakes, and sea, offering all aquatic creatures the chance to transform into a dragon. Their ruling area extends beyond rivers, lakes, and seas, even a pond or well could produce a Dragon Sovereign.
This robust and complete system was key to the Dragon Tribe’s defeat of the River God. However, the powerful Dragon Tribe became shackled by a heavy weight.”
The torrential rain continued to fall tirelessly. Both heaven and earth were immersed in a veil of rain. Prince Ji Du, in a triumphant manner, turned to Shen Yuan and asked with deep interest.
“Do you know what the weight is?”
Shen Yuan didn’t answer, although at this moment, Prince Ji Du didn’t expect Shen Yuan to understand everything he had.
The madness on his face intensified.
“That is the Rain-casting Imperial Edict of the Heavenly Court!”
“Under the heavens, all rainfall is controlled by the Heavenly Court. Even the Four Sea Dragon Kings and Four Waterways Sovereigns cannot overstep the boundaries.
This is the price the Heavenly Court paid to support the Dragon Tribe in defeating the River God, and it is also the heavy weight shackling the Aquatic Tribe.
If a True Dragon loses its power to control clouds and rain, and can only transport water vapor from the water realm to fabricate rain, can he still be considered a True Dragon? Can the Water God of the Aquatic Tribe still be considered a deity?”
At this point, the madness on Prince Ji Du’s face heightened.
“They’re just a bunch of waste controlled by the Heavenly Court! Even if they lead the entire Aquatic Tribe, they’re merely puppets under the Heavenly Emperor’s feet!
Without the Heavenly Court’s decree, they couldn’t even conjure a single drop of rain.”
“But, I’m different!”
Prince Ji Du drew out a crazy curve at the corners of his lips. His broken Spirit Soul seemed to merge into the rain, his voice blending with the rumbling thunder.
“I, am the Water God!”
“During the age of spirit energy depletion, I accidentally found the eighth Divine Art called Rain Conjuring from Earthly Destroyer Divine Power. And I dedicated all my efforts to comprehend it.
This divine art doesn’t have the power to sever all ties in the world or to open the mystical realm of grotto heavens. What it possesses is the power to target the Aquatic Tribe’s source of life—the rain!”
“I will no longer be bound by the Heavenly Court Edict, not restrained by the Aquatic Tribe’s lineage. I can conjure heavy rain whenever I please, and anywhere in the world can be the water realm under my control!”
Prince Ji Du waved his arm, and waves surged in Lake Dongting. The transparent palm made of rainwater slowly rose from the lake.
In the centre of the palm lay a golden pangolin with a shattered dragon inscription and a little black cat, both shivering in the corner.
The control over the very Lake Dongting that the pangolin should have been controlling was now lost. The fleeting brilliance of the broken dragon seal faded away, barely protecting the two creatures.
Prince Ji Du watched the scene before him with a mocking gaze and asked Shen Yuan,
“Aren’t you curious why I can reverse the control over the waters of Dongting entrusted to the Dongting Dragon Sovereign?”
“First, I let a flood rush into Lake Dongting for three hundred miles, then I summoned heavy rain in this vast lake water, which still remains within my control.
When my power and sphere far exceed this little fellow, I can effortlessly reverse the role of the Dragon Sovereign of Dongting.”
“As the rain continues to fall, an increasing amount of control over Lake Dongting will be in my hands.
Eventually, I will consume this little fellow, including his position as the Dragon Sovereign of Dongting.”
“This is the true power of the Ancient Water Deity, also the true Path of the Ancient Water Deity who devours the rights over all the water realms in the world!”
Prince Ji Du’s gaze shot across Lake Dongting, across the three-hundred-mile flood, and landed on the expansive water territory of Yunmeng Swampland from ten thousand years ago.
“The torrential rain brought by Divine Rain Conjuring is endless. This rain will cause the water level of Lake Dongting to rise, constantly encroaching upon the surrounding land.
This time, we’re going beyond that three-hundred-mile territory. My goal is to revive the entire Yunmeng Swampland!”
At that point, Prince Ji Du looked at Shen Yuan with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“Originally, I was not planning to fully reveal the Rain Conjuring Divine Power prematurely. The rainfall over the three hundred li could be covered up by other means, preventing people from associating it with the Rain Conjuring Divine Power.”
“The premature revelation of the Path of the Ancient Water God would bring unnecessary risks and evoke more hostility towards me.”
“Unfortunately, your struggle made me change my mind.
“Millions of beings will pay the price for your actions!”
The mad laughter echoed out of Prince Ji Du’s mouth, echoing constantly in this thunderous world.
Shen Yuan quietly watched all these, his eyes filled with a hint of compassion.
Only after the mad laughter had subsided for a considerable amount of time, did Shen Yuan finally speak softly:
“Are you done?”
Prince Ji Du looked at Shen Yuan in astonishment, where he stood unfazed in the curtain of rain, pointing with his right index finger at the sky.
“Look, the rain has stopped.”
Just like an envoy of the Heavenly Court who commands the clouds and rain, the moment the Heavenly Imperial Edict fell from his mouth, the heavy rain ceased abruptly.
“Impossible!”
Prince Ji Du stared at the abruptly halted heavy rain in the sky, his eyes filled with stunned incomprehension.
The Rain Conjuring, as the eighth rank of Earthly Destroyer Divine Power, could even bypass the Heavenly Court Decree to bring rain. No spell could affect it in the slightest.
This was praying to the heavens, drawing on the power of Heaven and Earth to bring rain, it was part of the natural order.
Not even a real cloud-rain envoy could influence the Rain Conjuring Divine Power, let alone a mere human in the Qi Transformation Stage right in front of him.
But such a thing was really happening right in front of him.
Prince Ji Du could clearly feel the operation of the Rain Conjuring Divine Power, but there was still not a single drop of rain falling from the sky, even the thunder quietly disappeared.
The dense clouds did not dissipate, as if frozen in this piece of sky. The inexplicable oppression made Prince Ji Du feel a sense of inexplicable chill.
He couldn’t understand the scene in front of him, nor did he know what had happened.
Like the dark night, the dense clouds formed a dark curtain covering the sky. The moment before was bright daylight and the next instant turned into a darkness like the end of the world.
The earth fell into silence in an instant, an unspeakable great pressure pervaded everyone’s heart, and the rapidly expanding darkness dragged everyone’s spirit into an abyss.
When the last ray of light was completely devoured, a peal of sunny thunder erupted from the sky, the rolling thunder clashed in the dense clouds, illuminating the earth with a desolate brightness.
Under this apocalypse-like scene, Prince Ji Du could feel the power he had just forcibly seized from Dongting water territory, was quickly disintegrating.
The territories controlled by the Rain Conjuring Divine Power, the authority over the three hundred li deluge, were all consumed by a profound will.
He abruptly found that after all external forces fade away, only this remnant spirit soul remained before him.
The unimaginable catastrophe hadn’t even really landed, but it had already destroyed everything Prince Ji Du had.
At this moment, Prince Ji Du finally understood the hint of pity in Shen Yuan’s previous gaze.
The so-called Path of the Ancient Water God and the Rain Conjuring Divine Power of the eighth rank of Earthly Destroyer, were simply overlooked by Shen Yuan.
Because Shen Yuan already possessed a formidable power surpassing the Rain Conjuring.
His voice became extremely hoarse, Prince Ji Du slowly spoke out about that legendary existence.
” Heavenly… Heavenly General Great Divine Power!”
Shen Yuan’s voice also resonated at this moment.
“Rain Invocation!”
