However, Li Yao believed that with his own strength, he should be able to slay the dragon.
Just in case, he brought Duan Lang and six others to assist him.
...
Shenlong Island is a unique island in this sea.
On this island, there exists a secluded little fishing village.
This fishing village is built around a fiery lake, making it both mysterious and unique.
Moreover, almost all the buildings in this fishing village are decorated with statues of dragons.
Even the bowls, chopsticks, and other household utensils they use are decorated with dragon statues.
The people of Shenlong Island are a group who worship the dragon to the extreme.
Deep within this island lies a volcanic pool, also known as the Fire Lake.
The water of the Fire Lake is scalding hot year-round, and there is no vegetation around it.
If an ordinary person were to fall into the lake of fire, they would instantly turn into a pile of bones.
The dragon lives here.
Due to the influence of the dragon's essence, the creatures in the lake have already undergone various mutations.
Among them was a strange fish.
This fish is enormous, with exceptionally hard scales and remarkably sharp teeth.
Not far from the shore of the fire lake, there is a temple dedicated to the worship of the dragon god.
At this very moment, inside the temple, many aquatic people are worshipping the dragon god.
“We, the people of the water, have been protected by the dragon for generations, and we should protect the dragon in order to seek its protection.”
"Today, we will select the strongest warrior from our tribe to continue leading our aquatic people in protecting the dragon."
"Now, we will begin the selection of the next Water God King."
A highly respected elder from the aquatic tribe solemnly announced in a loud voice.
Then, led by the old man, a group of burly young men arrived at the shore of the fire lake.
The intense heat rising from the lake of fire seemed to have no effect on their courage.
Because entering the lake of fire is an extremely important test for anyone who wants to be elected as the water god king.
At this moment, the water in the lake of fire was boiling and bubbling, just like boiling water.
The rising heat can burn even ordinary people.
To enter this fiery lake, one must have cultivated the Divine Water Technique to the fifth level or higher.
The Divine Water Technique was created by the Water God Ancestor.
Several hundred years ago, a group of strange fish suddenly appeared around Shenlong Island and surrounded it.
The appearance of these strange fish has blocked the way out of Shenlong Island.
The people on the island all felt that these strange fish were very likely related to the Lake of Fire.
So, the young Water God Ancestor entered the Fire Lake to investigate this issue.
Later, he encountered a sleeping dragon and accidentally injured its mouth.
After that, the dragon's blood stained his arm.
After he returned to the surface from the bottom of the lake, he discovered that his arms were undergoing strange changes.
My arm was burning hot and the pain was unbearable.
So he jumped into the sea, and the strange fish around Shenlong Island all fled.
From then on, the Water God Ancestor's power increased greatly, his wisdom broadened, and his strength grew stronger and stronger.
His arms, stained with dragon blood, transformed into a pair of divine dragon arms.
Subsequently, he created a divine water technique using his Divine Dragon Arm.
The Divine Water Technique is incredibly magical. By practicing this technique, one can control water, allowing aquatic creatures to swim freely in the water like fish.
The dragon's blood gave the Water God Ancestor his powerful cultivation.
Therefore, he believed that this was the power bestowed upon their aquatic race by the dragon god, and that the dragon god was protecting their aquatic race.
From that time on, the aquatic people swore an oath to protect the dragon for generations to come.
Later, the Water God Ancestor reached the end of his life.
He then told his people that although his primordial spirit had died, his body could remain immortal for ten thousand years.
In the future, if the aquatic creatures encounter great calamity, their members can awaken them using the essence and blood of the four auspicious beasts.
From then on, the Shui people had another special inheritance ceremony.
That is, every once in a while, a clan leader, namely the Water God King, would be selected.
Chapter 289 Attacking Dragon Island, Instantly Killing the Water God King
On the sea, a fierce wind howled, waves surged, and torrential rain raged.
From a distance, it looked as if the sky had suddenly collapsed.
The dark, swirling clouds were terrifying.
However, even in such terrible weather, a large ship was still sailing on the sea.
This large ship was the one that Li Yao and his group were on.
Li Yao stood in the cabin, gazing at the situation outside.
A moment later, he instructed a crew member: "There are many reefs in the waters ahead. Give the order to go around to the southeast."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The crew members who received the order immediately relayed it to others.
Luo Xian, standing to the side, asked curiously, "Supreme One, have you been here before? How come you seem so familiar with this place?"
Li Yao smiled and said, "I haven't been here before, but I have my own ways of finding out about the situation here."
In fact, he used the power of the Heavenly Crying Scripture to investigate the seabed conditions here.
Luo Xian and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Since they started following Li Yao, they have witnessed countless wonders from him.
Their supreme being was like an omniscient god, knowing many unknown things and being proficient in many profound and mysterious martial arts.
Furthermore, they had many refreshing ideas regarding governance.
Therefore, they have all completely submitted to Li Yao.
Li Yao glanced at the faint black dots ahead and said to Luo Xian and the others, "You all go down and rest for a while to conserve your energy. Soon, we will have a fierce battle."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Luo Xian and the others bowed to Li Yao and then went back to their cabins to rest.
The black dot in the distance is getting bigger and bigger.
Li Yao stood at a distance, lost in thought.
The black dot ahead should be Shenlong Island.
On Dragon Island, not only do dragons exist, but there are also aquatic creatures that protect them.
If Li Yao wanted to slay the dragon, the aquatic race would definitely stop him.
Of course, although the people of the aquatic tribe all practiced the Divine Water Technique, they were not to be feared.
The large ship sailed on the turbulent sea for some time.
The black dot in front is getting bigger and bigger.
Soon, an island gradually came into Li Yao's view.
Just then, the large ship suddenly rocked violently.
It seems that the bottom of the large ship has been attacked by some kind of creature.
"What is that?"
"It looks like a kind of fish!"
"What kind of strange fish is that? It looks so weird and it's so big!"
"There are so many strange fish, and they are attacking our ship."
"Quickly, kill them!"
"..."
A commotion broke out among the people on the large ship.
Just as the large ship entered the vicinity of Shenlong Island, it was attacked by a large group of strange fish.
However, the people Li Yao brought this time were all elites who had been rigorously selected.
Each of them possessed extraordinary skills; in the martial arts world, they would all be considered masters who could stand alone.
Therefore, these strange fish were no match for them.
Without Li Yao having to lift a finger, they eliminated the strange fish that had attacked the large ship.
Soon, the strange fish's blood stained the nearby sea red.
However, a moment later, many more strange fish surged in from other places.
"These strange fish must have absorbed the essence of the demonic dragon to become like this."
"When the dragon awoke, these strange fish became its food."
