Chapter 1196: Chapter 867: The Origin of Resentment

"What’s so bad about the Abyss?"

The Mermaid youth called You Huang was indifferent, looking provocatively at the Sea Clan army looming ahead like pressing black clouds, and at the brother at their head. There was a trace of mockery in his smile. "My dear brother, from the moment you were born, you have lived forever in love! Everyone adores you, respects you. You will never understand how I, wallowing in the mire, have endured endless loathing and insults... everyone fears me, hates me, can’t wait for me to die!"

The youth’s innocent, breathtakingly beautiful smile, however, carried a certain cruelty.

"If—if you had told me earlier..." The Sea Emperor’s face turned somewhat pale; he didn’t know what to say.

Now, whatever he said was too late; nothing could be salvaged.

The youth’s laughter grew ever more unrestrained. "Anyway, my body is like rotting mud, I have nothing at all. Why shouldn’t I throw myself into the Abyss? That is exactly where filth like me ought to go; that is the homeland that will accept me."

"Only there can I break through this damned seal and gain the true power that should have been mine."

"So you harmed so many people, and now you want the entire Sea Clan to die and be buried with you?" The young Sea Emperor clenched his fists. His voice grew colder, carrying a kind of heart?rending reproach.

"If a man does not look to himself, Heaven and Earth will destroy him, brother." The youth’s stunning face was twisted into a vicious, cutting smile.

He looked at the elder brother who had cared for him since childhood, the only one who had ever shown him gentleness, yet in his eyes there was a deep, seething jealousy.

The Sea Emperor completely gave up on persuasion, and the warmth in his eyes vanished without a trace. "Since you are so obstinate, then there’s no need to say more! Today, I will personally cut down the bane of the Sea Clan!"

"Hahaha... what a big boast. My power has long surpassed your imagination. You want to kill me? Let’s see if you have that ability." The youth covered half his face as though he had just heard something ridiculous, laughing so hard his shoulders shook.

The next second, his voice suddenly turned razor?sharp, like a drawn blade. "If you die by my hand, I’ll be very sad, dear brother!"

The blade, wrapped in a surging wave that split the sea, roared forth.

This peerless battle, carved forever into murals, finally erupted in full.

The sea war of ten thousand years ago lasted a full three months, almost draining the Sea Clan army of all its strength.

But that Mermaid youth, like an Evil God, possessed terrifying destructive power. He commanded all beasts; more than half the sea area’s Beast Clan fell under his control. Countless Beastmen and Sea Beasts, twisted and transformed, became puppets at his command.

In the end.

After blood dyed the entire ocean red.

The Sea Emperor defeated him and brought the war to an end.

A slender figure, drenched in blood, was half?kneeling on a reef. His deep blue curls, like seaweed, coiled around his shattered body. He swayed, on the verge of collapse, almost unable to stand.

The blond youth was also grievously wounded, his face pale, his war robe soaked in blood. Yet he still upheld the dignity of a King, looking down from on high, lowering his gaze to the defeated youth. His voice was indifferent, without the slightest warmth. "You can’t run."

"The Abyss is about to be sealed as well. You’ve lost, little brother."

"Kill him!"

"Kill him! Kill the calamity! Avenge our clansmen who died so miserably!"

"The calamity must perish!"

Tens of thousands of Sea Clan warriors roared in unison. War drums thundered, and layer upon layer of waves rose with their cries, as though the entire ocean was in a fury.

The youth no longer had the strength to resist.

The Sea Emperor, following the will of the people, gathered all his power into a single sword strike, piercing the youth’s body and nailing him to the reef like a torn kite.

On the youth’s peerlessly beautiful face, however, there was still a chilling, cold smile. "No one can truly kill me. I will not vanish..."

"The Master of Abyss will eventually awaken. I will return with the Abyss!"

His body exploded into fragments, but a wisp of black mist remained, trying to flee. The Sea Emperor instantly wove a Heaven and Earth Net, imprisoning it.

In this final moment, the towering, awe?inspiring Sea Emperor seemed to reveal a flash of pain. "It’s my fault. I created you. I will seal you within my own body..."

Unable to kill him completely, he used his own body as a vessel to seal him away.

"For all ages to come, for all eternity, you will never again escape—"

That wisp of black mist seemed to let out a shrill scream, but in the end it was still sealed within the Sea Emperor’s body.

The Sea Emperor himself was already a spent arrow; that final strike completely burned out his life.

His body cracked like a spiderweb, fine fissures spreading across it, and from those cracks burst golden light—then he exploded.
