Su Yu watched the Four Seas Dragon Kings depart and let out a long sigh of relief. His gaze swept slowly across the secret realm, now riddled with the scars of battle, and a complex cocktail of emotions welled up within him.
"Today's battle was truly perilous," Su Yu mused to himself. "When the Four Seas Dragon Kings joined forces, their formation nearly swallowed me whole. It’s a good thing all these years of cultivation didn't go to waste; the Chaos Astral Formula pulled through at the critical moment. Otherwise, I fear my life would have ended right here." He instinctively touched a few wounds that were still throbbing with pain, a wry smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
"However, come to think of it, this is a case of a blessing in disguise." As he thought of the twelve Sea-Fixing Divine Pearls, a glint of pleasant surprise flashed in his eyes. "With these treasures, my path of cultivation should be much smoother. Perhaps, with this opportunity, I can break through to an even higher realm."
