Chapter 625: Chapter 26: Mount Sumeru
"Indeed, a bunch of outdated fools."
Gazing at the tumultuous East Sea, Xiluo made no attempt to conceal her disdain.
Amidst the surging sea tides and tempestuous waves, a slender Azure Dragon stirred the storm, each movement causing the heavens and earth to quake and primordial Qi to rampage.
And surrounding that Azure Dragon were countless dragons born from serpents and fish, dancing and soaring.
Among those dragon races, a considerable portion was originally under the jurisdiction of Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the Gods of the East Sea, but another significant portion consisted of the Dragon Race.
Yet now they chose to stand beside Divine Monarch Mengzhang, opposing their former king.
"You traitors!"
"The Dragon Monarch will never let you go!"
Enclosed within the storm created by Divine Monarch Mengzhang, the delighted Dragon King Nanda roared angrily.
The delighted Dragon King Nanda was a typical Crimson Dragon.
His long body was slender, with sharp four claws.
The dragon head swayed constantly, spewing Dragon Breath in all directions.
However, Divine Monarch Mengzhang was the archetype of all dragon races, destined to be one of the Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth.
Thus, all of Nanda’s counterattacks seemed ridiculous and laughable, akin to a parody in Mengzhang’s eyes.
And it was precisely under such comparison and contrast that those who chose to follow Divine Monarch Mengzhang appeared so wise.
—This is a Divine Dragon!
—This is a True Dragon!
Clouds form and rainfalls, thunder calls and lightning strikes, dragons and serpents worship wherever it passes, and all beings submit.
Everyone could see that Divine Monarch Mengzhang hadn’t yet reached a serious state.
Because aside from the delighted Dragon King Nanda, he was constantly wary of the distant, another dragon king who remained concealed yet poised to strike—Dragon King Padmanka.
Compared to the delighted Dragon King Nanda, who was firmly trapped in place.
The wise Dragon King Padmanka manifested in the form of a White Dragon, yet always roamed outside of the encircling dragon race.
Once Divine Monarch Mengzhang intended to act against him, he decisively abandoned the offensive, retreating swiftly with a slipperier gesture than an eel.
Thanks to this touch-and-go, never-fighting-style of combat.
The wise Dragon King therefore was not trapped like his brother, instead repeatedly attempting to rescue him.
Unfortunately, Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s power far exceeded the imaginations of these two dragon kings.
No, it was not merely powerful.
Even those who should have stood on their side of the Dragon Race, due to Divine Monarch Mengzhang’s charisma, voluntarily surrendered.
It’s almost as if he were a dragon-shaped Charm, more terrifying than Qin Dapo.
Indeed, born from the desires of all creatures, the two dragon kings did not believe in personal charisma or leader’s majesty.
In their view, Divine Monarch Mengzhang must have employed some strong charm and brainwashing abilities, leading the Dragon Race to turn against their former king.
Even those East Sea deities who fought hard against him must also have been brainwashed.
Otherwise, they simply couldn’t understand why a group of Gods—and even a group of Sea Gods—would fight so desperately for those tiny ants on land.
One dragon king trapped, one dragon king on the move.
Their subordinate Dragon Race either defected or suffered heavy casualties.
Compared to the other three seas’ overwhelming momentum, the East Sea, armed with Divine Monarch Mengzhang as its stabilizing pillar, appeared so peaceful.
Even the battlefield of this fight was confined to the deep-sea realms, causing no significant impact on the coastal Fang Kingdom and city-states.
Not just the beings on land, even the fish and shrimp in the ocean were cleared out by Divine Monarch Mengzhang in advance.
After all, Divine Monarch Mengzhang was the true Lord of the East Sea, having complete command over the Sea Eye of the East Sea.
Almost the same moment before the two dragon kings manifested from the Sea Eye.
Divine Monarch Mengzhang suddenly stirred the "stabilizing pillar," almost banishing these two dragon kings to the Netherworld.
With overwhelming power, home advantage, and the shift of allegiance and betrayal under his command...
In such circumstances, if the two dragon kings could still turn the table, they wouldn’t need to heed that "Dragon Monarch" anymore.

Six Desire Heavens, Douluo Heaven.
"Dragon Monarch?"
Li Boyang, with the demeanor of a Saint, sat in Doushuai Temple overseeing the world.
In this state, Li Boyang could almost discern everything occurring in the Six Desire Heavens.
Those few things and places he couldn’t discern were undoubtedly being explored by the Pathfinder evolving their own paths.
Of course, if Li Boyang were to investigate in the identity of "Primordial Celestial Demon," he could uncover those things and places as well.
However, Li Boyang preferred not to let people associate "Tao Ancestor" and "Primordial Celestial Demon" with each other.
At the very least, he didn’t want this matter to become a public secret.
Thus, Li Boyang did not alarm those Pathfinders, instead silently observing the paths they were evolving.
For this, the vast majority of Pathfinders were aware.
Yet upon seeing the Saint seated in Doushuai Temple as Li Boyang, they chose to remain silent.
Li Boyang deserved to preside over Doushuai Temple, and no one found it strange.
As for what Li Boyang intended to see while presiding over Doushuai Temple?
These Pathfinders only needed to step out of the River of Time to see the disaster currently unfolding in reality.
After a brief surprise, a considerable number of Pathfinders watched with great interest this alternative pathfinding.
Forsaking pathfinding in Six Desire Heavens, implied that this Pathfinder had full confidence in their abilities.
Even without the aid of Six Desire Heavens, they could still restore their path in this era.
Determined to pathfind in reality, suggested this Pathfinder’s ambitions extended beyond mere pathfinding.
They desired to contest with Tao Ancestor over control of reality, to become the protagonist of this era, rather than a side character, or even a minor role.
To that, those equally capable yet dormant Pathfinders sneered in disdain.
Tao Ancestor had already proven through actual actions that their heart was broad, and their strength and capabilities far surpassed ordinary expectations.
Those eager to contend with them, were admired for their determination yet frowned upon for their prospects.
If possible, some Pathfinders even intended to share the "legacy" left after the pathfinder’s failure.
It seemed not only Li Boyang curious about the identity of that Pathfinder now.
Other noticed Pathfinders too were intrigued by who exactly was this fellow.
Boom!
Amid such public attention, a sudden loud noise erupted from the center of Toli Heaven.
That’s the center of Toli Heaven, indeed of the whole Six Desire Heavens—Mount Meru.
—Vast as Meru, small as a mustard seed.
—Meru contains infinitude, mustard seed holds dust.
Mount Meru as the highest mountain range penetrating Six Desire Heavens wasn’t simply a summit.
It’s the true center of the world.
It’s the supreme place visible from East, South, West, North.
