Cultivation begins with separation.

Chapter 318 Siege
As the true dragons gathered, the mist began to slowly dissipate.

Even naturally formed grand formations will eventually come to a standstill, following the natural cycle of heaven and earth.

As the fog dissipated.

Under the guidance of the True Dragon Clan, many intelligent races began to head in one direction.

Soon, countless living beings entered the mist.

Inside the airship, Yi Yan felt as if time and space had become blurred, making it impossible to discern her location or determine how long the airship had been traveling.

When I felt my senses return, the airship was already docked at the shore of a huge island.

"So that's how it is. This Dragon Island is probably not in the Vast Ocean Spirit Realm under normal circumstances, but is located in a place where time and space are chaotic."

No wonder the Nine-Headed Dragon waited until now to let me retrieve the Dragon Transformation Pool. Perhaps only a place like Dragon Island could prevent the Four Seas Dragon Palaces from finding the Dragon Transformation Pool until now.

At this moment, Yi Yan couldn't care less about teaching her newly accepted apprentice, A Dong, and instantly the starlight pillar enveloped the two of them.

They reappeared in an unnamed forest on Dragon Island.

The moment Yi Yan activated her supernatural power, the four true dragons that were originally circling outside Dragon Island immediately flew into Dragon Island.

Above the sky, the Four Dragon Kings presided over the ceremony, with other true dragons assisting, as if they were conducting some kind of ritual or activating some kind of formation.

The sudden departure of the four true dragons caused the other true dragons that had arrived from the void to let out low groans.

Upon seeing this, the Dragon King of the East Sea roared to intimidate the true dragons, and then secretly explained the situation to them via telepathy.

Inside the forest, Yi Yan set up a simple formation and said to A Dong:
"You stay here and wait for me to finish my business before I come back to find you."

After saying that, Yi Yan didn't explain further and simply disappeared into the newly appeared pillar of starlight.

Upon seeing Yi Yan leave, A Dong, who came from a tribe and had always been bold, immediately changed her delicate appearance. Her eyes darted around, and as if she had thought of something, she slowly moved in one direction, completely ignoring Yi Yan's instructions.

The coastline of Dragon Island stretches as far as the eye can see. It may not seem very big, but Yi Yan failed to reach the location mentioned by the Nine-Headed Dragon after several teleportations. This tells her that the area of ​​Dragon Island is actually far larger than that of a typical continent, and may be comparable to a medium-sized prefecture in a celestial kingdom.

Since there are no unicorns as teleportation coordinates, Yi Yan's starlight teleportation doesn't cover a very long distance, which is why she needs to teleport repeatedly.

Just as Yi Yan reappeared from the pillar of starlight, she suddenly frowned and looked around, only to find that the four true dragons had already surrounded her.

Seeing this, Yi Yan didn't think too much and unleashed her supernatural power again.

However, the starlight pillar did not teleport him away; in fact, it dissipated immediately after trembling.

After a deep blue dragon roared, it spoke in human language.

"It's no use. This is Dragon Island, where time and space are extremely chaotic, and the suppression of these two forces is quite significant."

Now that we've used the power of Dragon Island itself, we've isolated this area from time, space, and the outside world. You can't escape now.

Yi Yan glanced at the deep blue dragon and recognized it as Ao Luoshui, the dragon she had once captured.

He also understood why the other party had contacted him.

However, Yi Yan did not focus her gaze on the other party, but instead concentrated her attention on a blue dragon.

Of the four true dragons, Ao Luoshui is undoubtedly the weakest.

The strongest true dragon is that Azure Dragon.

Fortunately, although this azure dragon's aura was strong, it was not as imposing as the red dragon that had chased him before, which made him unable to muster the will to resist.

After a moment's thought, Yi Yan realized that, apart from Ao Luoshui, the three true dragons, although already adults, were probably not very old and had not been cultivating for long. In addition, true dragons are generally lazy, which means that, apart from their innate divine abilities and innate spells, they had learned a limited number of additional combat methods. Thus, their threat to her was also limited.

"Don't waste time with this ant. Quickly deal with it and then go back to open the Dragon Tomb."

A pink dragon roared, and a jet of black and red flame shot towards Yi Yan.

After the black and red flames passed, Yi Yan felt her emotions and desires gradually fading away, and she felt indifferent to life and death.

However, as the golden core stars within the magical space lit up, his consciousness instantly returned to normal.

"Is this your innate divine power?"
"It's incredibly weak. It seems this pink dragon hasn't grown stronger after its mutation; it's probably even weaker than a regular red dragon. Its dragon breath barely broke through my hundred or so defensive spells."

Just as Yi Yan was thinking this...

Ao Luoshui spoke:

“Sister Ruoshui, this person is different from ordinary human cultivators. Her soul and body are highly integrated, so soul spells are not very useful to her. Your soul poison is basically useless to her. Only by destroying her physical body can you truly attack her soul.”

The pink dragon Ao Ruoshui narrowed her eyes. Originally, among the true dragons, the dragon breath physical attack of red dragons and gold dragons was the strongest. However, after her mutation, her dragon breath became weaker than that of ordinary red dragons.

However, even if her dragon breath was weak, it shouldn't be something a third-tier being could withstand.

Seeing how easily the other party dealt with the dragon's breath, something just didn't seem right.

At this moment, Ao Luoshui's voice rang out again.
“I said before that we should not treat this person as an ordinary third-order being. His supernatural powers are exceptionally strong, and his magical power is comparable to our True Dragon Clan. We can treat him as a fifth-order or even sixth-order being.”

On the other side, after taking a direct hit from a dragon's breath, Yi Yan smiled slightly.

Now, she has fully developed the abilities of the Golden Core Star within her body, and her strength has greatly improved.

Although she is currently unable to defeat the adult true dragons present, with the combined abilities derived from the golden core stars inherited from the Starry Sky Clan, even if a true dragon wanted to defeat her, it would be impossible for it to do so in a short period of time.

Just then, after a faint blue dragon breath, a huge dragon claw simultaneously reached out to grab Yi Yan.

In an instant, time seemed to accelerate. The moment Yi Yan saw the dragon claw, it touched her body even before the dragon's breath could reach her. At the critical moment, a golden hourglass appeared in Yi Yan's hand.

Time stood still.

During the pause, Yi Yan easily moved to avoid the dragon's claws and breath.

Just as she was about to launch her attack, time began to flow again.

Yi Yan narrowed her eyes. This Dragon Island suppressed the power of time and space to a great extent, even weakening the power of the Void Treasures.

Upon seeing Yi Yan take out the Void Treasure, four true dragons, each of them also activated their own dragon clan treasures.

Various streams of light shot towards Yi Yan in succession, and the sky changed color under the power of the various treasures.

Yi Yan's body shimmered continuously with the starlight, occasionally pausing for a moment.

When the energy stored in the hourglass of time was exhausted, Yi Yan took out the Great Thousand Mirror.

Although the Great Thousand Mirror is merely an innate spiritual treasure, when combined with Yi Yan's own supernatural abilities, it gives her the ability to foresee opportunities and predict the future.

Thanks to the power of the Great Thousand Mirror, Yi Yan was always able to dodge the attacks of the four True Dragons in advance.

After the battle began, Yi Yan kept dodging.

It wasn't that she didn't want to attack, but the true dragon's defense was exceptionally strong. To launch an effective attack, Yi Yan needed to mobilize the many golden core stars within her body, a process that would take a little time.

In this critical battle, she had no time to gather her strength.

Therefore, Yi Yan seemed to have no power to fight back and no chance to escape.

However, although Yi Yan could not fight back, her gaze kept drifting towards the earthen-yellow dragon, as if she were calculating something in her mind.

Meanwhile, the four true dragons that kept attacking Yi Yan were also very troubled.

The human before me is not strong, but he is very slippery. Neither attacks from spiritual treasures nor his innate divine abilities can harm him in the slightest.

Even if one were to attack with the body of a true dragon, it would be difficult to even get close.

Faced with Yi Yan, the four True Dragons all felt powerless to do anything about it.

"That won't do. We'll use the Dragon Balls to unleash our ultimate power and win in one strike."

Dragon Balls are the essence of a true dragon, equivalent to the magical space of a cultivator.

Using the Dragon Balls to unleash one's innate superpowers grants extraordinary power.

Ao Luoshui quickly refused.
"No, this person's supernatural power has the ability to teleport over extremely long distances. At this moment, although her supernatural power seems to be suppressed and she cannot use the teleportation function, nothing is absolute."

If our Dragon Balls are stolen, we'll lose a tenth of our strength, and our lives might be in danger.

Now, we'll slowly wear down our opponent; sooner or later, we'll win.

"You make it sound so easy, but now is the time when the Dragon Tomb is opening. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have to wait another thousand years or even longer."

Our True Dragon Clan's cultivation is already arduous; the journey to the Dragon Tomb is our opportunity. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it like this?

"That's right. Humans are just a bit special in terms of supernatural abilities. The connection between the Dragon Ball and us is even more intricate than that of our natal spiritual treasures. How could it be taken away so easily?"

After letting out a roar, the earthen-yellow dragon ignored Ao Luoshui's advice and spat out the dragon pearl.

Although the Azure Dragon and the Pink True Dragon agreed with the Yellow Dragon's words, after hearing Ao Luoshui's words, they subconsciously held back and did not spit out the dragon pearl along with the Yellow Dragon.

The Dragon Ball, radiating an orange-yellow light, appeared, and instantly, an endless phantom of the earth appeared in the sky, with boundless gravity manifesting along with the earth.

Yi Yan's eyes flickered.
"As expected, the core ability of Huanglong's innate divine power is gravity."

Thankfully it was gravity; if it had been something like vibration or cracking, I really would have left empty-handed.

The next moment, Yi Yan's body was quickly pulled towards Huang Long's dragon pearl by gravity.

Seeing that Yi Yan seemed to be completely defenseless against Huanglong's divine power, Ao Luoshui felt a sense of foreboding.

But before she could remind her again...

Then I saw the phantom images of hundreds of stars appear in the sky.

Those stars, each one a fixed star, radiate light of various colors.

As the boundless heat arrived, a chaotic gravitational pull descended.

The combined gravitational pull of the stars and the powerful gravitational pull emitted by the Yellow Dragon Pearl caused the normally stable space on Dragon Island to momentarily distort.

As space distorted, Yi Yan had just approached the Dragon Ball.

Just as the Dragon Ball was about to collide with Yi Yan's body and shatter it, the starlight pillar appeared and then disappeared.

Also disappearing were Yi Yan and the Dragon Ball, which was very close to her.

Yi Yan easily took away Huanglong's dragon pearl, leaving the other three dragons looking at each other in bewilderment as they gazed at the ashen-faced Huanglong.

After a moment of contemplation, Ao Luoshui spoke:

"Chase."
