Chapter 0189: The Taidel Family
The Taidel Family holds a high status among the sea tribes, ranking eighth among tens of thousands of large and small families in the vast endless sea.
Eighth place—though not in the top three—still indicates immense strength.
Ervin is the second-strongest member of the Taidel Family, the younger brother of the current family head, Erko.
Ervin’s aura continues to grow stronger; the ink-like mist in his eyes seems to conceal two fierce beasts.
These beasts roar like thunder.
In the night sky, layers of dark mist form, blocking the moonlight, plunging the surrounding area into darkness.
The other three sea tribe saints standing beside Ervin also emit powerful auras. One of these three saints also comes from the Taidel Family, surrounded by black mist, though his power is far weaker than Ervin’s, at only the peak of the early stage of the Saint realm.
Everyone holds their breath, watching intently.
The distant onlookers stare in shock at what unfolds before them, in silence, with no one speaking. Yet many are simply watching as entertainment.
In this endless sea, the sea tribes are the rulers, the kings. Anyone who enters this sea must act according to their will. Now, they want to see if the sea tribes can still maintain their royal dominance in the face of Elder Huanglong.
“You brats, die!” Suddenly, Ervin leaps into the air, shouting loudly as he charges at Huanglong with his fists. Two enormous black beasts appear out of thin air in front of him.
These black beasts also possess the strength of the early stage of the Saint realm. They resemble neither lions nor tigers, standing ten zhang tall with bristling black fur. Like Ervin, they exude an air of dominance over all.
These are not true magical beasts but the souls of such beasts.
They are cultivation techniques and combat skills passed down by the Taidel Family for thousands of years.
Every direct descendant of the Taidel Family, after reaching adulthood and awakening the soul within them, can practice the family’s techniques. Once they grow strong enough, they kill magical beasts and absorb their souls, merging them with their own to greatly enhance their power.
These two black beasts are the souls obtained by Ervin after killing the Saint realm magical beast, Lion Roar, and merging it with his own soul.
At this moment, the other three sea tribe saints also leap into the air, charging at Huanglong and his companions.
Seeing Ervin take action, Romen and Kayel exchange a glance and immediately flee.
Seeing this, Bogge becomes extremely anxious.
“You don’t need to intervene,” comes Huanglong’s calm voice.
Gustav and the others, who were about to act, stop immediately.
Huang Long sneered at the devastating attack by Ervin and his three companions. A golden glow flashed between his brows, followed by a thunderous dragon roar that echoed across entire Tianpeng Island. Under the terrified gazes of Ervin and his trio, a golden pillar of energy surged forward, shimmering before transforming into a 300-zhang-long golden dragon with five claws.
“Divine Fiend Dragon Wave!”
The golden dragon with five claws collided with the souls of those two fierce beasts, Lion Warriors, destroying them instantly before attacking Ervin and his group again.
Faced against the 300-zhang-long golden dragon, Ervin and his three companions appeared like mere black dots in the air. When those black dots launched a fierce attack at the dragon, onlookers saw them blown away like fallen leaves.
Ervin and his group had launched an incredibly fast attack earlier, and now they were returning even faster.
The sea tribe warriors watching their commander, Lord Ervin, fly back were filled with shock and scattered in panic.
With a loud crash, Ervin and his companions crashed among the sea tribe warriors, triggering cries of agony.
The sea tribe warriors who managed to escape stared in disbelief at what had happened. Apart from the Holy King, their commander, Lord Ervin, had always been like a towering mountain to them—one that had never fallen. Yet now, even with the combined efforts of three other generals, he had been defeated in one strike.
A crushing defeat!
What kind of power was this?!
Even their Holy King couldn’t withstand the combined attack of Lord Ervin and his three companions!
Perhaps not even the Sea Tribe Empress Euman could defeat them in one strike.
Could it be a powerhouse from the Divine Realm?!
They stared in horror at Huang Long, the young man who still stood motionless there. Earlier, it seemed he hadn’t even moved his fingers.
Only then did they begin to suspect why Tianpeng Island, which had never sought help from the sea tribe before, had done so this time.
In the distance, the other powerful onlookers were also agitated, discussing excitedly.
“I told you, Senior Huang Long is the strongest!”
“Look, Senior Huang Long didn’t even move his hands!”
“Four-Winged Angel Tobid and the Life Goddess Wendy of the Dark Forest Temple aren’t even his match. What does Ervin count for? He’s not even worth Senior Huang Long wasting a move on!”
“That’s true. Senior Huang Long didn’t kill them—he showed mercy, clearly disdaining to kill them!”
“What is Ervin anyway? Now, even the Sea Tribe Empress Euman must bow in respect before Senior Huang Long. That Shigri must have angered him to end up killed.”
For a moment, discussions arose among the powerful beings around them. Some of them were also descendants of super-large families within the sea clans, just like the Taidel family, and they weren’t afraid of speaking carelessly. What?! Elder Yellow Dragon?! When these discussions reached the ears of those sea clan warriors, they all stood frozen like statues, staring at the young man across from them in shock. The sea clan warrior who had previously pointed out that the four Yellow Dragons were the ones who killed their young master Angri was even more terrified, his face turning pale—he had actually thought that their mighty king could kill those people mercilessly to avenge their young master Angri. The four members of Erwen’s group crashed to the ground, blood dripping from their mouths. Hearing the discussions around them, their expressions weren’t any better than those of the sea clan warriors. The four of them looked at Yellow Dragon in horror. Yet they all knew they were still alive because Yellow Dragon had shown mercy earlier. Having defeated the four of Erwen in one move, Yellow Dragon turned and saw Luo Men and Kai Er, who had already fled dozens of miles in the blink of an eye. He snorted coldly. “Heaven-Shrouding Great Hand Seal!” While fleeing, Luo Men and Kai Er heard the loud screams of Erwen’s group crashing to the ground and were terrified. Suddenly, they noticed the night sky darken instantly. Looking up, they saw a huge golden hand seal descending upon them, filling them with horror as they quickly dodged. Then, a tremendous explosion rang out, shaking the entire Tianpeng Island. People in every corner of Tianpeng Island panicked, feeling as though the island might collapse and sink into the sea. Luo Men and Kai Er saw ahead a massive hand seal pressing several meters deep into the ground over several miles. It was terrifying! As they were in utter terror, a strong sucking force suddenly pulled them backward. When they opened their eyes, they saw the indifferent Yellow Dragon and the murderous Bogge before them. Yellow Dragon snorted coldly and sent two black finger seals flying, which instantly appeared between the foreheads of the two men. They were struck like by lightning and then began screaming in pain, rolling on the ground. It was the “Life-and-Death Fingers” from the Pangu Netherworld—those who were hit felt as if thousands of snakes were biting their minds, making life unbearable. Everyone around saw Luo Men and Kai Er’s miserable state and shuddered. Especially those on Tianpeng Island, Baiwu Island, and the sea clan warriors who had arrived later. Silence reigned everywhere. Under the night sky, the screams of Luo Men and Kai Er echoed. After a while, Yellow Dragon emitted two beams of golden light, releasing Luo Men and Kai Er from the “Life-and-Death Fingers,” and only then did they stop screaming and rolling.
At this moment, both men were covered in dirt and dust, with disheveled hair, gasping for breath as they stared in terror at the Yellow Dragon.
The Yellow Dragon sneered, “Why aren’t you running?”
Luo Men and Kayel’s earlier plan to use the Sea Tribe’s Narvin to hinder them and seize the chance to escape was clearly visible to the Yellow Dragon.
After all, even Wendi, the Goddess of Life from the Dark Temple, couldn’t escape in front of him—she was only saved by that mysterious powerhouse. How could Luo Men and Kayel possibly escape?
Still shaken, neither Luo Men nor Kayel dared to speak.
At that time, Narvin and the other three also stood up with the help of the Sea Tribe warriors.
Narvin looked at the Yellow Dragon hesitantly before finally approaching to apologize, “Elder Yellow Dragon, we didn’t realize who you were and attacked you. We apologize!”
Realizing the other party was the Yellow Dragon, Narvin bowed his head.
Narvin’s bowing represented the submission of the Taidel family.
Although the Taidel family was powerful among the Sea Tribe, even they had to bow before the Yellow Dragon, the strongest being below the divine level.
The Obu family, one of the top three families in the Hengyuan Continent, was now on the verge of destruction. The Taidel family was no stronger than the Obu family.
The Yellow Dragon nodded indifferently, “Are you under Qi Tian’s command?”
Qi Tian, the Holy King, had appeared at the auction in the Lutong Kingdom before and had also met the Yellow Dragon once.
Narvin quickly replied respectfully, “Yes, Elder Yellow Dragon!” He was uneasy, unsure of the purpose behind the question.
However, the Yellow Dragon merely gave a indifferent grunt and fell silent. After a while, he turned to look at Luo Men and Kayel. Seeing that they had regained their senses, he ordered Bog to settle their grudges.
After all this chaos, the duel continued.
Of course, though Luo Men and Kayel were strong, they were no match for Bog—they both died at his hands. The sacred realms of Tianpeng Island and Baiwu Island met the same fate.
Watching Luo Men and Kayel killed, along with the warriors from Tianpeng Island and Baiwu Island lying dead, Narvin and the other Sea Tribe warriors felt a chill run through them.
After killing Luo Men and the others, the Yellow Dragon took Bog and the others to Tianpeng Mansion on Tianpeng Island.
However, inside Tianpeng Mansion, Luo Men’s two other sons led everyone in escape.
To the Yellow Dragon’s surprise, even his divine vision and divine hearing powers failed to locate them.
In the end, they had no choice but to give up, fly away from Tianpeng Island, and head to Baiwu Island, over two thousand miles away.
Narvin and the others watched as the Yellow Dragon and his group flew away, their expressions complex.
