The Raging Tides Novel Author: Gao Lou Da Sha (High-Rise Buildings) Gao Lou’s books are passionate, as everyone knows. Brotherhood where life and death trusts are exchanged—passion is never lacking. Readers, see it and feel the surging passion within the book! ※※※※ An excited, ringing roar burst from the two people and one beast that had just appeared. Within that sound was an indescribable sense of exhilaration, like a person who had been choked, nearly suffocated to death, suddenly regaining the power to breathe, thus experiencing a joy bordering on madness.

Near and far, Yuan Lixun and the four Divine Beasts instantly halted all movement. Because in the void, the ceaseless fissures that had been appearing had vanished completely.

This was not a brief pause, but a total settling. Having attained the cultivation of the Divine Path, their sensitivity to the surrounding environment became incomparably keen, allowing Yuan Lixun and the others to easily confirm that the space here had truly stabilized.

However, the space above the Ice Island began to grow illusory.

This was immediately evident from the miraculous changes on the Ice Island and the three people who suddenly emerged from it.

If they had not been certain that the passage could now be closed, it was unlikely that the Divine Dragon would have allowed anyone to return here via the road connecting the two worlds.

Yuan Lixun hesitated for a moment before immediately flying over, while only the Dragon Serpent remained in the distance, quietly watching. The other three Divine Beasts rushed over as quickly as possible.

The Dragon Serpent also wanted to step forward and inquire about the situation on the other side. But when it saw the three individuals emerging, it simultaneously sensed the powerful auras emanating from them. Based on these auras alone, the Dragon Serpent knew that despite its own strength and might, it might not be a match for these three. Thus, it ultimately chose to remain where it was to observe the subsequent developments.

The first to emerge from the passage were naturally Wei Jinshun, Sidney, and the Twin-Winged White Tiger.

The moment they stepped out of the passage, they were confronted by this world of stark, blinding white snow and ice.

Although there were no ancient pines or verdant fields here, after enduring five hundred years in a world of yellow sand, any color was deeply welcoming and moving to their eyes. This was why they roared without restraint—it was a powerful catharsis of surviving and returning to the human world after breaking free from the realm of the dead.

Even Divine Path experts and Divine Beasts found it hard to suppress such emotion at that moment.

Five centuries of yearning and suffering concluded this day; it was difficult for anyone to control the turbulence within their hearts.

From afar, upon seeing Yuan Lixun and the three Divine Beasts approaching steadily, the three of them finally managed to rein in their turbulent spirits. After carefully sensing the powerful auras on Yuan Lixun and the others, their expressions became exceedingly strange.

Upon first returning to this world, they had already sensed that the world energy here was indeed extremely thin, nowhere near the intensity required for their former advancement to the Divine Path. Moreover, they had heard from He Yiming, Ao Borui, and others that due to the scarcity of world energy in this realm, no new Divine Path practitioners had been born in five thousand years.

Yet, before them stood a female Divine Path expert and three Divine Beasts, and farther in the distance, a colossal being was observing this area with cold eyes.

A total of five Divine Path powerhouses. What was going on?

The three exchanged glances. Though suspicion filled their minds, they felt no genuine alarm.

With their experience, simply by sensing the auras, they knew these were merely newly ascended Divine Path experts. In terms of sheer might, they were even slightly inferior to Di Shitian and the others, let alone capable of contending with the three of them.

Furthermore, and more importantly, they detected no aura of killing intent on Yuan Lixun and the others.

“Yuan Lixun of the Northern Frontier Ice Palace pays respects to the three seniors,” Yuan Lixun said, bowing deeply with a soft voice.

The gazes of Wei Jinshun and the other two fell simultaneously upon the Divine Artifact, the Ice Ling Mirror, held in her hand. Upon seeing this artifact, their evaluation of Yuan Lixun immediately rose a level.

For a human realm expert, possessing a Divine Artifact might not be a blessing, often inviting disaster leading to murder or the destruction of their clan. But for Divine Path experts, Divine Artifacts were the best talismans. Especially those Divine Paths who gained the recognition of a Divine Artifact—even a newly advanced Void God Realm expert would command the attention of all other Divine Paths.

“Miss Yuan, what are you all…” Wei Jinshun withdrew his gaze, carefully scanning the surroundings. He suddenly asked, “Are you perhaps devising a way to close the passage?”

At this moment, the world energy above the Ice Island surged wildly, and even space was subjected to endless impact. But precisely because of this, the stable passage had begun to flicker and weaken.

With their keen insight, the three of Wei Jinshun sensed these changes immediately after their initial excitement, leading to their suspicion.

Yuan Lixun nodded slightly. “Senior is correct. We are attempting to close the passage, and it appears we have achieved remarkable success.” Her beautiful eyes darted around, searching for Bai Lingba’s figure, but her gaze met nothing. Her expression involuntarily changed slightly, and her ominous premonition grew stronger.

Figures flashed again at the mouth of the passage, and three more people rushed out: Di Shitian, Bing Xiaotian, and Zi Luli, all newly ascended to the Divine Path.

Seeing them, Yuan Lixun’s eyes brightened, and she momentarily set aside the matter of Bai Lingba.

It was not just her; even the Divine Beasts, though also pondering Bai Lingba’s whereabouts, would never have imagined that this mysterious entity would have simply exploded and vanished.

After all, the divine abilities Bai Lingba displayed were too formidable. Not only did it help them advance to the Divine Path, but it also successfully sealed the passage, allowing these Divine Path experts to escape that terrifying land of death.

This was something that the combined strength of all Divine Path experts in the world had failed to achieve in the past, yet Bai Lingba accomplished it alone.

Therefore, the terrifying power of this mysterious entity was deeply etched into the minds of all the Divine Beasts. They could never believe that such a powerhouse could face a day of collapse and disappearance.

Though Bai Lingba was nowhere to be found now, he was inherently mysterious. Who knew what machinations he was employing? Thus, the Divine Beasts did not panic when they failed to locate him. In their view, perhaps Bai Lingba simply did not wish to meet these newly arrived Divine Path experts.

Soon, the Divine Path experts emerged one after another from the passage mouth. Yuan Lixun naturally positioned herself near Di Shitian and Bing Xiaotian, quietly inquiring about He Yiming’s whereabouts. Upon learning that He Yiming had already ascended to the Divine Path and possessed strength unmatched among his peers, she finally set aside her worries. The White Horse Lightning and the enormous Treasure Pig rejoiced, though the presence of so many Divine Paths prevented them from fully expressing their delight.

A moment later, when Liu Mu also came out, Di Shitian’s expression changed.

The Divine Dragon had arranged the order for Void God Realm experts to leave first, with Pseudo-God Realm experts holding back the horde of monsters. However, all the Void God Realm experts were already out, and even more than one Pseudo-God Realm expert had appeared, yet He Yiming was nowhere in sight.

The current Sect Master of the Tianchi lineage could hold back no longer. He quickly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, “Grand Ancestor, Yiming has not emerged yet?”

Zi Luli and Bing Xiaotian also looked quite grave. Among this group, their concern for He Yiming was second only to Di Shitian’s. Of course, this was partly due to their own hidden agendas, but regardless, He Yiming’s existence was definitively more beneficial than detrimental to them, which explained their show of deep concern.

Yuan Lixun and the two Divine Beasts also seemed to sense the unusual atmosphere hanging in the air, especially the increasingly suspicious expressions of Di Shitian and the others.

Liu Mu laughed heartily, waving his hand dismissively. “There is no need for worry. Brother Dragon has a very high regard for Yiming; he wants him to personally experience the might of the Heaven and Earth Devouring power. This is a rare and magnificent opportunity!”

Ao Minxing started slightly, then abruptly turned his head. “Brother Liu, did Brother Dragon really say that?”

Liu Mu smiled broadly. “How could this old man deceive you with lies?”

Mou Zilong and Bao Yanzhu exchanged a look and both burst into laughter. “Brother Liu, congratulations!”

Liu Mu could no longer conceal his surging joy. The laughter of the three Divine Paths carried far, allowing anyone to feel the delight in their hearts.

Conversely, Ao Minxing, Ma Yu, and the several Western Divine Paths wore rather peculiar expressions, in which flickers of jealousy and envy could even be seen.

Yuan Lixun and Di Shitian and the others simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Although they did not know what this so-called Heaven and Earth Devouring power entailed, it was evident that this experience would bring immense benefits to He Yiming, leading to the starkly different reactions among the Divine Paths present.

A moment later, a series of roaring sounds suddenly erupted from the passage mouth, and the speed of the spatial fluctuation quickened rapidly.

Ao Minxing’s expression shifted slightly. “Everyone, quickly retreat!”

Everyone swiftly moved away. Although Liu Mu and the others became worried again, they quickly distanced themselves at this moment, daring not to linger in the area where space was convulsing.

Bing Xiaotian reached out and pulled Yuan Lixun along, only releasing her hand when they were half a li away, then whispered, “Rest assured, with the Divine Dragon, He Yiming will definitely be safe.”

Yuan Lixun might not know the true strength of the Divine Dragon, but Bing Xiaotian, who had advanced to the Divine Path within that death-ridden land, understood its power profoundly, giving him far greater confidence than Yuan Lixun possessed.

Leopold suddenly coughed lightly. Luke and Sidney simultaneously moved closer to him. A glint of meaningful light flickered in the eyes of the three Western Divine Paths.

However, four distinct auras slowly rose around them. Without anyone noticing, the four Divine Beasts that had emerged from the land of death had quietly appeared around them, subtly encircling the trio.

The three Divine Path experts exchanged glances, filled with shock, but this served to halt any further rash actions.

The spatial fluctuations grew even more intense. Just as varied emotions filled everyone’s minds, three figures suddenly flew out from the center.

A massive voice, filled with crushing pressure, boomed down from the sky: “Bai Lingba is truly formidable. He did seal the passage. Where is he?”

P.S.: Ugh! I won’t be online tonight, brothers, please forgive me. I will definitely be in the Q group next Tuesday. Tomorrow is Wednesday, and there is a three-character phrase, so White Crane will post three chapters tonight, nothing in the morning. Don't let this bite me in the face...
