Where does it get its confidence?

Shen Ling’s face was still smiling, but her heart was alert.

She had never taken the natives of this world seriously, as her group had suffered setbacks among them in the past. Although the Western Sea Dragon King was not considered a formidable character among the many demons, it knew their true identities.

It’s terrifying when an NPC realizes what you actually are. The other party has been preparing for so long, they must have something up their sleeve.

"I am very curious..." Shen Ling looked at him and said, "Every race has its fixed potential, as you said, no matter how hard they try, there is a limit. Even if you kill me today and take my Dao Fruits, you won’t become a Heaven Venerable.

Why would you take such a risk, what are you really after? "

"Potential is fixed, but there are many ways to play the game!" The Western Sea Dragon King sneered, "This is a phrase I once heard from a sibling of our seniors, and I deeply agree with it!"

"You, a hardcoded program, think you can make something out of it?" Shen Ling laughed.

Western Sea Dragon King also laughed, but as he did so, his pupils turned blood red!

Shen Ling’s heart suddenly tightened!

"So that’s how it is...."

The Ancient Demon Clan, so this is how it is...

But that’s the only way it could be. Most demons in the world have their strength fixed by their race, which is why the Human Race has hope for a turnaround. That is the big setting. However, some races are exceptions—they are not strong on their own but rely heavily on external objects.

For example, Ali, who needs the destiny of the Human Race to grow, or the Ancient Demon, who although inherently weak, can become extremely powerful by parasitizing others.

Cooperating with the Ancient Demon is indeed a good strategy.

"So you would rather lose yourself than politely refuse?"

"Better that than becoming someone else’s food..."

The Dragon King’s voice trailed off, his right hand stretched out, transforming fingers into a sword. Sword Intent surged upwards, instantly slicing through the air around, and no one would have imagined that this Western Sea Dragon King was actually a top-tier Swordsman!

"You must have put in a lot of hard work, huh?

" Shen Ling was slightly surprised when she saw this scene.

The Dragon Kings were known for their techniques, and among the four great Dragon Kings, none was known to excel in martial combat.

Ao Zhen, who traveled the world with the body of a True Dragon and was also a top-tier Warrior, was a lone case within the Dragon Clan.

Unexpectedly, this Western Sea Dragon King had been hiding in the shadows, with a martial prowess even stronger than her rebellious daughter!

"Indeed, it did cost me quite some effort..." the Dragon King said calmly, "The path my foolish daughter took was actually the right one. Thanks to her, I realized that I can also use this to enhance my strength a bit."

"Just a bit..." Shen Ling didn’t even blink: "And what of it?"

The Sword Intent is strong, but not enough to cut through the Flaming Sun Array!

"Please watch, Senior!" The Dragon King snorted coldly, Sword Intent rushed to the sky like a needle beckoning the lightning, and the condensed water vapor in the sky, like the reversed flow of the Milky Way, kept pouring down.

But on top of that Sword Intent of the Dragon King, a small water droplet formed. Although tiny, it was dazzling, like a star illuminating the world!

"Heavenly Divine Water Technique..." Shen Ling nodded: "You have indeed plotted well..."

The few Forbidden Techniques of the Shen Family all originated from the Dragon Palace, and within the Dragon Palace, even the Dragon Kings could only inherit one such technique.

The Eastern Sea usually focused on the Thousand Mechanism Thread and Azure Dragon Technique, while the Southern Sea favored the Southern Bright Divine Fire.

Only the Western Sea and Northern Sea often have different legacies.

In terms of combat power, naturally, the Western Sea’s Divine Wind Technique is stronger, and the successive Western Sea Dragon Kings also tend to cultivate this technique.

The Divine Water Technique, which is mostly used for nourishing water domains and is more effective in that role than for combat, is usually practiced by the Legacy Inheritance Elder.

She had always thought that the Western Sea Dragon King was learning the Mystic Ice Technique or the Divine Wind Technique, never expecting that he was actually mastering the Heavenly Divine Water Technique, which is Shen Laosan’s technique!

"The Flaming Sun Array was deliberately given to Chen Qing by you, right?" Shen Ling reacted at once.

In fact, she was initially puzzled too. Logically speaking, the Divine Wind Array should have a richer inheritance in the West Sea, and Chen Qing should have studied that direction first, but unexpectedly, the first national defense array he researched turned out to be the Flaming Sun Array.

At first, she thought it was an accident, but now it seems.. . that it might not be the case.

"Senior, your insight is piercing!" the Western Sea Dragon King said with a smile: "Originally, the plan was to outwit that nearly sealed all ancient beings, the King of Qin.

In the depths of the Southern Sea, I had early prepared the Power of the Demon Statue, and then in the alien experiment laboratory, I secretly cultivated the Heavenly Ghost Octopus.

Once that thing breaks its limits, it possesses the power to bring about an apocalypse, and before the resurgence of spiritual energy, no one can stop it.

If the King of Qin wanted to stop it, he could only use the dark fire power of that statue! "

"Once he uses that, he will inevitably not waste that power. In the legacy chamber, I intentionally or unintentionally left some more inheritance of the flaming fire array. Coupled with the Celestial Serpent’s fear of fire, as long as he isn’t foolish, he would know which to choose."

"Very well, very well..." Shen Ling laughed and clapped her hands: "Truly a good strategy, you are far better than the previous generation Dragon King!"

Step by step, guiding Chen Qing in secret to form the Flaming Sun Array, and as soon as she left the retreat, the first thing she would surely do was to find a large array for her own use.

This readily available Flaming Sun Array would certainly not be overlooked.

These steps were truly meticulously calculated.

No matter how powerful the Flaming Sun Array was, the five elements’ cycle of suppression still existed, and Heavenly Divine Water was its nemesis!

"Senior, you flatter me, take this!"

The Dragon King’s eyes flashed with a crimson surge as the dazzlingly bright water droplet in his hand, carrying terrifying Sword Intent, directly slashed towards the array.

The endless water vapor, like the momentum of the Milky Way, if dispersed, could almost cover the entirety of Jiangnan, enveloping the Flaming Sun Array within!

But even so, the formidable power of the celestial fire instantly evaporated that enormous amount of water, and the terrifying Sword Intent, despite being accompanied by Heavenly Divine Water, still failed to break the array’s defense!

"Tsk tsk...."

The vast water vapor almost instantly enveloped the entire Lyuzhou City in a thick fog, but Shen Ling’s face bore a look of mockery.

"What a pity, you’ve calculated so much, yet you’ve missed one step!" Shen Ling sneered at the opponent: "I bet you didn’t expect the kids found by Chen Qing to evolve the Flaming Sun Array to such a level, did you?"

The Western Sea Dragon King fell silent; it too had not anticipated that a group of humans, in just a few short years, not only had they completely inherited the Array Techniques of the Dragon Palace, but they had bettered the original version, strengthening it by more than tenfold!

"Tsk tsk, even I have to praise them, the kids that Chen Qing found are truly smart..."

Shen Ling’s words were indeed not sarcastic.

As the most skilled in Array Techniques among the Heaven Venerables, she could see at a glance the intricacy of the Flaming Sun Array.

Chen Qing’s Array Masters have boundless futures, with just a little cultivation, they could indeed create Arrays powerful enough to trap King Level beings in the future.

If they keep growing, the emergence of an Array capable of challenging a Heaven Venerable is not impossible.

All good seedlings, she couldn’t bear to destroy them herself. Using insects to control them would waste their talent. This was truly a troublesome concern...

"It doesn’t matter!" The Western Sea Dragon King responded indifferently: "I never expected to succeed in one attempt."

Only to see the terrifying water vapor rapidly rising, once again forming thick spiritual clouds in the sky.

This scene made Shen Ling startle, how much Spiritual Power would it take to amass these water vapors so quickly? Was the opponent also prepared with a Mage Corps?

That’s not right. According to the information, it was already good enough that he managed to unfreeze himself, so where would he get the resources to prepare a Mage Corps of such caliber?

During her confusion, she looked towards the sky, her face turning icy cold.

The clouds in the sky
