Chapter 470: Power of Dongwang

The black tide…

To be precise, it is the collection of endless grievances.

This so-called blessing of Dongwang is an unimaginable gathering of endless grievances, which the women of the Shui family can control through this blessing.

This blessing is merely a concept; no one has seen Dongwang. Only certain individuals suddenly gain the ability to manipulate the black tide.

The higher the talent, the deeper the level of blessing, and the more terrifying the resulting black tide becomes. Even the weakest black tide cannot be matched by the captain of the sacred department.

Its endless nature means that even in the state of Ascension of the Heavenly Path, it cannot be dispelled, and the only way to eliminate it is through exhaustion.

This power undoubtedly belongs to Dongwang, and since only women can receive it, it has been named Dongwang’s blessing.

"Of course, the blessing of Dongwang is not invincible; it is just difficult to match to a certain extent. If the enemy surpasses their own capabilities too much, they can briefly pierce the black tide. In that case, if the controller dies, this power will fade away… but no one has ever achieved this. Becoming the head of the family already makes one the strongest; how could they be surpassed?"

Shui Suqing murmured, increasing her use of Spirit Law power without worrying about being detected by Shui Weibai.

This brings us to a flaw of Dongwang’s blessing. Once one uses it, their mind will be eroded by terrible grievances, with emotions amplified. In such a state, it is almost impossible to notice their interference using Spirit Law.

"So this is the plan they have to execute? If I hadn’t increased my strength to this level, I’d likely be facing certain death. It’s either using cards that can’t be played or fleeing directly. Shui Weibai, who has lost her sanity, won’t care about rules!"

"Although I wanted to see what this special power of the Shui family was and get a glimpse of Dongwang’s strength, this is a bit too much."

"Should I simply surrender now?"

Yun Ye entered an accelerated thought process.

The outside world was almost motionless.

He contemplated the pros and cons.

Given the current situation, if he surrendered, Shui Weibai would violate the rules and face the punishment of death, leaving Team Two without anyone. He could then directly take the captaincy and still be the victor.

But what does the punishment of death mean?

Does it mean Shui Weibai can die instantly?

The answer is: no.

He controlled everyone in Team Two, including Shui Weibai’s Vice Captain, whose memories he had already read.

According to their understanding, this so-called power of Dongwang is the culprit behind the disappearance of the entire city’s residents after death.

The punishment of death merely resets a person’s lifespan, making them susceptible to being devoured by the black tide at any moment.

This can be seen as a regulation specifically targeting the captain of the sacred department.

Repeated defeats indicate that potential has been exhausted. Since there is no room for growth, Dongwang will naturally harvest them.

But the problem is that this "any moment" is very uncertain; it could be the next second or the last second of the day.

If he surrenders and Shui Weibai does not die, he would have to expend energy to fight back.

The recent encounter with the Lunar Star had nearly drained all his power. Now, the strength restored by the Holy Attire amounted to no more than ten percent. Although he has many ways to turn the tables, such as using True Immortal magic, entering destroy and escape with the Holy Attire, or advancing law realms, these are all quite troublesome.

Rather than wasting energy wondering whether to surrender, it would be better to use some clever tactics and not be reckless all the time!

"Rainbow Eye!"

Yun Ye made his decision, and immediately the seven colors within his Rainbow Eye began to swirl, almost heating up to the point of burning.

Meanwhile, the cursed threads wrapped around Shui Weibai snapped, and even the black tide that had infected her mind was burned away.

For a moment, Shui Weibai was stunned, a hint of madness fading from her eyes. She had been subtly influenced by Yun Ye’s Spirit Law and suddenly turned to look at the transmission building.

The anger in her eyes surged dramatically.

Yun Ye was just an enemy.

But Shui Riyue and the others were traitors!

Nothing drives someone to madness more than a betrayal, especially when it feels like they are being toyed with like a mad dog. For a moment, she completely cast Yun Ye aside, her gaze icy and her emotions reverting to a state of zero, showing no signs of fluctuation.

She glanced at them and then turned back, lightly saying,

"You win, Shui Changdong."

Swish!

She disappeared instantly, not wanting to remain there for even a moment.

At the transmission building, nearly all the members, including the Vice Captain, stared blankly at the scene, completely at a loss for what had just happened.

After a long pause, someone mumbled, "What’s going on? Why did she suddenly stop fighting? Doesn’t she care about her life anymore…"

Upon hearing this, Shui Riyue sighed, feeling quite melancholic. "Yes, someone who doesn’t even care about their life is really troublesome."

"We should have stopped her earlier, resolved this when she was at her weakest," Shui Qingya remarked.

Shui Suqing remained silent. As the leader, she couldn’t act against a subordinate without justification.

"This is not good at all. What if Mother’s true self uses Sacred blood revival? Will you stop her?" Shui Riyue shook her head repeatedly, unwilling to take any risks.

“She’s just someone who will undoubtedly die in a year; there’s no need to fear her,” Shui Qingya said nonchalantly, but since she would die in a year, she naturally did not plan to intervene at that moment.

"Ah, it’s such a pity. I didn’t expect Shui Changdong could destroy the curse from a distance. The cooked duck has flown away," Shui Riyue lamented.

Swish!

Yun Ye landed, smiling as he said, "Sister Riyue has such refined tastes. Are you interested in cooking duck yourself? Don’t worry, the next cooked duck will not fly away."

"…" Shui Riyue tilted her head, unable to say a word. This person was as arrogant as ever and was already preparing to attack her?

(Should I just take him out right here?)

Shui Riyue exchanged glances with Shui Qingya.

(Feasible.)

Shui Qingya replied.

They truly considered making a move, but their shared thought felt like a thorn in their backs, and they pursed their lips in dissatisfaction, ultimately deciding against it.

With Shui Mingqin’s people present, even if they attacked, they wouldn’t be able to kill him, and it would just be a waste of emotional energy.

"Although I don’t understand what happened, congratulations, Elder Brother, for winning! To win in a decisive battle means you have even less reason to lose a year from now!"

Shui Wuge greeted Yun Ye with a joyous expression.

Yun Ye smiled and nodded, further worsening Shui Qingya and Shui Riyue’s mood.

However, Shui Suqing, who originally stood with them, surprisingly felt delighted instead. She examined Yun Ye for a long time before meaningfully saying, "Shui Changdong, you have impressed me. I look forward to your growth; you have the potential to surpass your mother."

"Of course. A soldier who does not aspire to become a general is not a good soldier. This saying applies to our family as well," Yun Ye replied with a smile.

"Hehehe, hahahahaha… What great ambition! I look forward to that day, Captain Shui Changdong!" Shui Suqing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
