Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

After absorbing the Earth Dragon King's bones, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena continued their journey through the valley filled with dragon bones, searching for traces of other dragon kings. Every step they took carried immense power, and the Earth Dragon King's power merged perfectly with their own, giving them a deeper understanding of this land.

Not far away, two opposing energies attracted their attention. Ye Qi'an could clearly sense that they were the intertwined auras of light and darkness, the very marks of the existence of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King.

Gu Yuena narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, exchanged a glance with Ye Qi'an, and then the two ran towards the source of the energy.

As Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena approached, they saw the dragon bones of the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King intertwined, as if engaged in an endless battle. The Light Dragon Bone shone with a dazzling light, as radiant as the sun, each ray seemingly able to penetrate the soul, bringing endless warmth and hope; while the Dark Dragon Bone was like a bottomless abyss, constantly devouring the surrounding light, emitting a chilling aura, as if countless eyes were watching the intruders from within the darkness.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly and slowly reached out his hand, trying to touch the dragon bones of the two dragon kings. Just as his fingertips were about to touch them, two strong beams of light shot towards him like arrows. These two beams of light originated from the Light Dragon King and the Dark Dragon King, respectively.

Are you testing me?

Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed, and a strong golden light burst forth from his body. This golden light acted like a materialized shield, blocking both beams of light. The power of light and darkness exploded with a powerful impact the moment they came into contact with the golden light.

The powerful impact spread outwards, causing the dragon bones in the valley to tremble slightly and dust to fly everywhere. Ye Qi'an flashed to the front of the dragon bones of the two dragon kings, light and darkness, raised his hand and pressed it on them. Instantly, a power that surpassed the two dragon kings surged out and forcefully suppressed them.

Under the suppression of this powerful force, the light and dark aura on the Light Dragon Bone and Dark Dragon Bone gradually subsided, no longer as violent as before. Two orbs of light, one black and one white, quietly emerged and gradually transformed into two figures, one male and one female.

"As expected of those personally chosen by the Dragon God, we entrust our power to you."

As soon as the words fell, the dragon bones of the two great dragon kings, Light and Dark, quietly emerged. One was black and the other was white, representing the left arm bone of the Light Dragon King and the right arm bone of the Dark Dragon King.

Ye Qi'an stepped forward and carefully stretched out his hands, gently touching the left arm bone of the Light Dragon King and the right arm bone of the Dark Dragon King. As soon as they touched, a strange and powerful force surged into his body through his hands.

The power emanating from the left arm bone of the Light Dragon King was like the brilliant, warm light of the sun, intense and full of life. It flowed and traversed his meridians, and wherever it passed, seeds of light seemed to take root and sprout, constantly nourishing his soul power and sharpening his spiritual perception. The power originating from the right arm bone of the Dark Dragon King, on the other hand, was like the deep, cold night, mysterious and carrying a hint of chill, spreading through his body like an undercurrent. This dark power, though cold, did not feel abrupt or uncomfortable. Instead, it intertwined and entwined with the power of light, forming a wondrous balance within him, like yin and yang, mutually restraining and promoting each other.

At this moment, the dragon bones that Ye Qi'an had fused with quietly emerged. The dragon bones of the Mountain Dragon King's torso shone the brightest, forcefully connecting the dragon bones of the Light Dragon King's left arm, the Dark Dragon King's right arm, the Ice and Fire Dragon King's left leg, and the Earth Dragon King's right leg. For a moment, different colored halos flowed around them.

"Let's go. The Wind Dragon King should be nearby. Let's go and nurture the dragon soul first." With that, the figures of the two dragon kings, Light and Dark, disappeared into the dragon bones that Ye Qi'an had fused with.

Ye Qi'an felt the power of various dragon bones within his body merging and converging. The dragon bones of the Mountain Dragon King's torso were like a sturdy bridge, tightly connecting the power of each part of the dragon bones. As different colored halos flowed, it seemed to outline a mysterious and magnificent picture.

As the figures of the two dragon kings, light and darkness, merged into the fused dragon bones, Ye Qi'an could clearly sense a deeper power settling within his body, as if adding a thick foundation to the power system of the fused dragon bones.

"Na'er, let's go find the Wind Dragon King," Ye Qi'an said. After saying that, he and Gu Yuena turned around and headed in the direction where the Wind Dragon King might be. With each step they took, a faint light flickered beneath their feet. It was the power of the fused dragon bones resonating with the earth, as if guiding them to the Wind Dragon King's whereabouts.

A gentle breeze swept through the valley, yet it couldn't stir up a speck of dust. Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena's figures gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving only the valley filled with dragon bones.

After searching for a while, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena arrived in front of a dragon skeleton that was a hundred meters long and painted in a cyan color. On the back of the dragon skeleton grew a pair of huge bone wings.

The two stopped, their gazes fixed on the hundred-meter-long, azure-colored dragon skeleton before them, exuding a mysterious aura, especially its enormous bone wings, which radiated a unique majesty.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, pondering to himself that this must be the dragon bone of the Wind Dragon King they were looking for. He could feel the wind element power emanating from the dragon bone, like wisps of breeze gently swirling around him. Ye Qi'an took a few steps forward, trying to sense the state of the dragon bone as before.

However, just as he approached, a powerful gust of air suddenly swept out from the dragon bone, slicing towards him like a sharp blade.

"It seems that the nine Dragon Kings each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and there is not much difference in their power." Ye Qi'an said in a deep voice, and the shield formed by golden light forcefully separated the sharp blade.

At this moment, the cyan dragon bones seemed to sense Ye Qi'an's resistance. The huge bone wings on its back trembled slightly, and then a howling gale surged up, enveloping the entire valley, with sand and stones flying everywhere.

"Break!" With a flash of light, the Nine Heavens Sword appeared in Ye Qi'an's hand. He swung the sword fiercely, and a dazzling sword light, combined with the power of the fused dragon bone, slashed towards the howling wind.

Wherever the sword energy passed, it actually cut a gap in the raging wind, temporarily stopping the surging momentum of the wind. However, the cyan dragon bone seemed to be completely enraged, and its bone wings on its back flapped violently. In an instant, the wind became even stronger, mixed with sharp wind blades, which howled towards the two like raindrops.

"Ang... Ang... Ang... Ang..."

A dragon's roar, radiating boundless pressure, resounded from Ye Qi'an's mouth. Amidst the radiance of golden light, a golden dragon phantom, ten thousand meters long, suddenly burst forth from behind Ye Qi'an. The scales on the dragon's body shimmered with dazzling golden light under the sunlight, and its majestic aura seemed capable of suppressing everything in the world.

On the valley floor, Ye Xiyao and the other two were shocked by what they saw. It was just a phantom, yet all three of them felt immense pressure emanating from it. Clearly, Ye Qi'an's strength was no longer within the realm of humans.

The wind blades were instantly dissolved, and the howling wind was forced to retreat. The surrounding temperature rose sharply, but the azure-colored wind dragon king's bones did not stop there. Its body shone brightly, and the azure light surged like waves, actually condensing into countless azure wind dragon phantoms. These wind dragon phantoms bared their fangs and let out a series of low roars, surging towards Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena.

Ye Qi'an's eyes sharpened, and he raised the Nine Heavens Sword in his hand again, chanting incantations. The golden dragon phantom also roared to the sky, its size suddenly increasing, and then it charged towards the group of azure wind dragon phantoms. In an instant, the golden dragon and the azure wind dragons collided fiercely in the air, flashing with light and deafening roars. Each collision unleashed powerful energy fluctuations that spread outwards, causing the dragon bones in the valley to tremble violently again, constantly repelling and scattering the attacking wind dragon phantoms.

"Suppress!" Ye Qi'an shouted, his body flashing with light, and the power of various dragon bones within him surged wildly, all pouring into the golden dragon phantom.

Empowered by this immense force, the golden dragon's aura instantly surged to its peak. Its golden scales shone even brighter, transforming into a blazing sun. It opened its enormous maw and unleashed a torrent of golden flames. These flames, like surging magma, swept towards the group of azure wind dragon phantoms. Wherever they went, the azure wind dragon phantoms were incinerated, emitting mournful screams as they vanished into nothingness in the flames.

Taking advantage of the moment when the golden dragon suppressed the cyan wind dragon phantom, Ye Qi'an rushed towards the Wind Dragon King's dragon bone like lightning. The moment he raised his hand to make contact, the Wind Dragon King's dragon bone's attack stopped instantly. The bone wings on the back of the Wind Dragon King's dragon bone shrank continuously. As soon as Ye Qi'an's hand touched the Wind Dragon King's dragon bone, a pure wind power surged into his body through his arm. The external dragon bone of the Wind Dragon King floated behind Ye Qi'an and fused tightly with it, intermingling with the power of the dragon bone that had been fused with him. This wind power was agile and swift, shuttling through his meridians and rapidly enhancing his physical strength and speed.

In an instant, the light intensified, and a huge energy vortex formed around Ye Qi'an, distorting the surrounding air.

As the dragon bones attached to the Wind Dragon King's wings fully fused, Ye Qi'an felt as if he could control the wind between heaven and earth. He gently fanned himself, and his body slowly rose into the air. The dragon wings on his back shimmered with a blue light in the sunlight, and each bone wing seemed to be composed of the sharpest wind blades.

"Now all that's missing are the dragon bones of the Time and Space Dragon Kings," Ye Qi'an said.

"Hmm... but those two Dragon Kings were betrayed by the Dragon God before, and I'm worried they might harbor resentment towards the Dragon God." Gu Yuena frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

"Na'er, I know, trust me, I'm confident I can get them to clear up their differences," Ye Qi'an nodded slightly.

Ye Qi'an learned of this past event through the plot. According to him, when the Dragon God intended to upgrade the Dragon Realm to a divine star, the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King foresaw that the day the divine star was completed would be the day the Dragon Realm collapsed. Therefore, they risked everything and betrayed the Dragon God. The Time Dragon King accelerated the Dragon God's death, while the Space Dragon King distorted space to prevent the other Dragon Kings from seeing the Dragon God's condition. Ultimately, this led to the Dragon Prince sacrificing himself to save the Dragon God, causing the Dragon God to go mad and slaughter those who betrayed him.

But was the Time Dragon King's prediction of the collapse of the Divine Dragon Realm truly correct? After all, the laws of the universe would not allow the birth of a divine star.

The Supreme God-King Dragon God was originally the strongest being, possessing immense power and mastering nine attributes, only a hair's breadth away from the laws of the universe. However, he attempted to break through to the tenth attribute in order to control the laws of the universe. This act disrupted the balance of energy and power in the universe, thus incurring the wrath of the laws of the universe. Although the Dragon God was powerful, the laws of the universe, in conjunction with other deities, were able to deliver a fatal blow to him from the inside out. Clearly, regardless of whether the Dragon God Realm is upgraded to a divine star, the Dragon God who comes close to the laws of the universe will be suppressed or killed.

Perhaps what the Time Dragon King foresaw was exactly what the laws of the universe wanted them to see. If the Dragon God wanted to be above the laws of the universe, he would inevitably be countered by them. On the other hand, if the Time and Space Dragon King hadn't interfered, the Divine Dragon Realm might have truly become a divine star, and the original laws of the universe would have been replaced by the Dragon God.

Am I the only one who reigns supreme, suppressing all, or is this the law of the universe, and I am the enforcer of it all…?

Throughout his journey, Ye Qi'an has always adhered to the principle of being the only one who matters and suppressing everything. If he has any enemies, the God Realm is the first, and the laws of the universe are the second.

Relying on his powerful divine sense, Ye Qi'an led Gu Yuena toward the possible location of the Time and Space Dragon King's bones. The atmosphere was tense along the way. Ye Qi'an knew that the situation this time was more complicated than before; he not only had to obtain the dragon bones, but also resolve the grudges in the hearts of the Time and Space Dragon Kings.

They arrived at a place where time and space intertwined, a place that seemed to be the end of the world and the beginning of the universe. The surrounding scenery was dreamlike, with images of the past, present, and future flashing by from time to time, and space constantly twisting and overlapping.

Suddenly, Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena felt themselves swept into different dimensions of time and space. Ye Qi'an saw the glory of the Dragon God creating the Dragon God Realm, and also saw the obsession and fanaticism in his eyes when pursuing greater power. In another time-space scene, the Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King discussed the possible disasters brought about by the God Star Project with worried expressions. Their eyes showed both loyalty to the Dragon God and fear of the unknown crisis.

"You shouldn't be here." A clear voice echoed around them. Ye Qi'an knew that it was the voice of the Time Dragon King.

Immediately afterwards, countless fragments of time flew towards them like sharp blades, each containing powerful energy from a different point in time. Ye Qi'an wielded the Nine Heavens Sword, its blade radiating the light fused with the dragon bone, deflecting the fragments of time one by one.

"Time Dragon King, perhaps you have misunderstood the Dragon God," Ye Qi'an said.

The figure of the Time Dragon King gradually emerged, his dragon bones radiating a mysterious silver glow, within which were patterns of time flowing. "Misunderstanding? Lord Dragon God's ambition nearly destroyed everything; we merely made a choice."

Ye Qi'an responded, "But the laws of the universe do not allow the birth of a divine star. This is a dead end in itself. Even without your actions, the Dragon God might have been punished by the laws of the universe, because the Dragon God at that time did not have the strength to transcend the laws of the universe."

The Time Dragon King fell silent, and the surrounding temporal turbulence subsided slightly. Just then, the Space Dragon King appeared, his dragon bones emitting a deep purple hue, and the surrounding space fluctuated violently upon his arrival.

"Hmph, Golden Dragon King, how could you possibly understand the hardships of those years?" The Space Dragon King's voice was full of majesty.

"Although I didn't experience what happened back then, I understand that your choices were made under the shadow of the laws of the universe. The Dragon God was wrong; he attempted to break the boundaries and disrupt the balance. But the laws of the universe are not necessarily just; they do not allow new possibilities and only want to maintain their absolute authority," Ye Qi'an said, frowning.

The Space Dragon King sneered, "If we don't stop the Dragon God, the entire Dragon God Realm will perish."

Ye Qi'an's expression was firm. "If the Dragon God succeeds, he may be able to create a completely new order, no longer bound by these merciless laws. Your betrayal has plunged the Dragon Clan into even deeper suffering. Now I need your power, not to repeat the Dragon God's mistakes, but to have the ability to fight against the unjust laws. We can find a new balance together, neither suppressed by the laws of the universe nor heading towards destruction."

The Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King exchanged a glance, a hint of wavering flashing in their eyes.

"You were loyal before, and now you can choose again for the future of the dragon race," Gu Yuena advised from the side.

The Dragon King of Time slowly spoke: "You make it sound so easy, but failure means utter ruin."

Ye Qi'an stepped forward. "In the current situation, the laws of the universe have become a binding shackle. The Divine Dragon Realm has collapsed, and neither divine beasts nor soul beasts have lost their former glory. We have no more way out. If we do not try to break these shackles, we can only struggle in this decline forever."

The Space Dragon King frowned. "Your idea is too risky. A new order is easier said than done. If there is the slightest mistake, everything will be lost."

"We cannot remain inactive out of fear. Are we just going to stand by and watch the laws of the universe continue to dominate our destiny?" Ye Qi'an said in a deep voice.

"You and the Dragon God seem alike. Perhaps you can truly recreate the glory of the Dragon God Realm... But will the Dragon God forgive us?" the two Dragon Kings said in unison.

"This is the Dragon Cemetery. If the Dragon God still held your past actions against you, you wouldn't have come here. Your betrayal back then, though justified, still caused a disaster. But if we can join hands to change the current situation and allow the Dragon Clan to be reborn, wouldn't that be a kind of redemption?" Ye Qi'an said firmly.

"Redemption? Golden Dragon King, accept our power and move forward with it."

Ye Qi'an nodded. "I will use your strength to do everything in my power to change all of this. Together, we will break the shackles of the laws of the universe, allow the dragon race to rise again, and restore its former glory."

The Time Dragon King and the Space Dragon King exchanged a glance, then slowly raised their hands. The light emanating from their dragon bones grew even brighter, with silver and purple light intertwining and swirling, as if telling of the vicissitudes of the past and their expectations for the future.

With a flash of light, two beams of light flew towards Ye Qi'an like shooting stars, the two giving him the head and skull of the Time-Space Dragon King.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, opened his arms, and welcomed the light containing powerful spacetime energy. The moment the light touched him, Ye Qi'an felt as if he were in the center of a spacetime vortex.

The river of time rushed past him, each moment like a dazzling star. He could feel the mystery of time's passage, pauses, and reversals. Space unfolded around him like a huge scroll, folding, twisting, and extending. All sorts of wonderful spatial changes were clearly presented in his mind.

His body trembled slightly; the power was overwhelming. But he gritted his teeth and persevered, relying on the dragon bone power of the other dragon kings he had previously fused with, striving to adapt to the impact of the spacetime power. The dragon bones within his body shone brightly, different colored halos intertwining and merging with the newly integrated spacetime power.

As time passed, Ye Qi'an gradually stabilized his body. He successfully accepted the power of the Time-Space Dragon King. At this moment, he could clearly feel that he was now closely connected with the time and space of the entire world.

"I have the future in my hands; we will create it..."
