Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

After defeating the Heavenly Soul Empire, Ye Qi'an continued eastward, flying deeper into the Heavenly Soul Empire, which was the location of the Clear Sky Sect. Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, after leaving the Divine Dragon Realm, also took advantage of this short time to learn about the Douluo Continent ten thousand years later.

In the distance, a large mountain came into Ye Qi'an's view. This mountain was not only majestic, but also appeared extremely steep. Looking around, almost three sides of the mountain were vertical, as if cut by a knife. Only one side was relatively gentle, but that was only relative to the other three sides. It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to climb. Only on the gentler side of the mountain did some plants grow.

The steep mountain is surrounded by rolling hills, but even the highest peak only reaches about halfway up its slopes. A sea of ​​clouds drifts slowly above these mountains, and the steep peak only appears below the clouds; above the clouds, it can only be seen by looking through them.

Ye Qi'an took a step forward and flew straight towards the steepest peak. He landed on a gentle slope and looked around. He saw a sea of ​​clouds floating above his head. Even here, the altitude was probably close to two thousand meters.

"It's not bad as a secluded place, but unfortunately, this will also be your graveyard, Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, two traitors of the soul beast race, get out here now!"

Ye Qi'an instantly appeared above the Haotian Sect, his voice like rolling thunder echoing through the sky.

The tremor caused the buildings below to shake slightly, and the doors and windows to rattle.

The disciples of Haotian Sect rushed out in alarm, looking up at the figure in the sky that exuded a powerful aura. However, no one responded to Ye Qi'an's rebuke.

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hands, a golden divine power spread outwards like a surging wave. Wherever it went, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound. This divine power quickly enveloped the entire mountain peak, trying to force out the traces of the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

Just then, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from inside the mountain. Immediately afterwards, a dazzling red light and a dense blue light shot up from the mountain's belly and collided with Ye Qi'an's golden divine power. Where the light met, energy surged and the space rippled.

Just then, two tall figures emerged from the castle. One of them, a middle-aged man, had long, cyan hair that cascaded over his broad, imposing shoulders. His eyes were also cyan, and when they opened and closed, his seemingly simple eyes possessed an indescribable special quality, as if he could barely suppress the powerful aura emanating from within him. He was dressed in a white, fitted outfit that covered his imposing body.

The other was an extremely robust middle-aged man with short, fine hair like steel needles and a dignified appearance. His resolute face was as if carved by a knife and axe. His eyes were brownish-yellow, with a faint golden glint. His gray robe could not completely conceal his muscular physique.

"Take your own life, don't force me to do it myself." Ye Qi'an snorted coldly when he saw the person who came.

The man in blue remained calm, but his eyes held a resolute glint: "Golden Dragon King, do not think we are afraid of you. We have done nothing wrong, nor have we failed the Soul Beast race."

The burly man laughed loudly, "You think you can make us commit suicide? You're dreaming!"

"Niu Tian, ​​Titan, have you gotten so used to following Tang San like dogs that you've forgotten your own identities as soul beasts?" Ye Qian'an's eyes were full of disdain. At the same time, he raised his hand and waved his hand. Instantly, a silver light streaked through the air, revealing a silver door.

Niu Tian and Titan were stunned for a moment, and suddenly an indescribable fear appeared in their hearts, because they had already guessed what Ye Qi'an was going to do.

"Golden Dragon King, aren't you afraid of the wrath of the gods for doing this!"

But Ye Qi'an's hand had already reached into the silver light door. There was a girl inside. She had big pink-blue eyes, long and curled eyelashes, a slender and delicate body, and long pink-blue hair that was draped behind her head. Her white dress accentuated her flawless face, as if a goddess had descended.

Ye Qi'an, with one hand gripping the girl in front of him, looked down at Titan and Niu Tian, ​​and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of Tang San?"

Niu Tian's expression turned extremely grave. He knew the seriousness of Ye Qi'an's actions and said urgently, "Golden Dragon King, if you dare to harm her, Tang San will never let you off, and the entire Douluo Continent will be plunged into endless chaos and war!"

Titan, his face contorted with rage and eyes wide with fury, roared at Ye Qi'an, "Ye Qi'an, you despicable scoundrel! If you have the guts, come at us! Using a girl as leverage, what kind of skill is that!"

"You're wrong, you're all wrong. If Tang San is going to die, that rabbit is going to die, and you're going to die, then naturally her daughter Tang Wutong will also die," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head slightly.

Niu Tian and Titan were shocked to hear this. They never expected Ye Qi'an to be so heartless as to want to poison Tang Wutong.

"If I hadn't known beforehand that Tang San was going to split Huo Yuhao's daughter's soul and put it into the Emperor Beast's body when Huo Yuhao came into contact with it, what would he have done? What does the Emperor Beast represent? How important is it to the Star Dou Great Forest? Don't tell me you don't know?" Ye Qian didn't care what they thought and spoke to himself.

"You don't need to make excuses. I am now the God-King, able to see through everything easily. I won't believe your excuses at all. So, one by one, don't you deserve to die?"

Niu Tian's face grew increasingly grim. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Qi'an, even if you are now a God King, you cannot act so recklessly and distort the truth! You are just spouting nonsense and convicting Tang San based solely on your own words. We absolutely cannot agree to this."

Titan's eyes widened in fury, his muscles taut with rage, as he roared, "Hmph, you think you're so great just because you've become the King of Gods? We only believe what we see and hear with our own eyes and ears. If you want us to confess, you'll have to produce solid evidence. Otherwise, we'd rather die than submit!"

"Do you want evidence?" Ye Qi'an said, raising his hand and waving it. A scene quietly appeared in the scene, showing that he had not interfered and that things were developing in the normal direction.

Titan and Niu Tian stared at the screen, speechless for a moment. Their eyes widened in disbelief. The scene depicted was exactly as Ye Qi'an had said: when Huo Yuhao came into contact with the Emperor Beast, Tang San secretly used his methods to split Wang Dong'er's (Tang Wutong's) soul, allowing it to enter the Emperor Beast's body. All the details were revealed.

Niu Tian's body trembled slightly, his voice tinged with bitterness: "This... how could this happen? Why would Tang San do this? Have we been wrong about him all along?"

Titan was also shocked and confused. He muttered to himself, "Impossible. Tang San has always done things for the good of Douluo Continent. How could he do such a thing? Could there be some misunderstanding?"

Seeing this, Ye Qi'an revealed a smug sneer: "Hmph, now that you've seen it with your own eyes, do you still want to deny it? This is the truth. Tang San used the guise of protecting others, but behind the scenes he was doing these things that harmed soul beasts and exploited his own family, and you still foolishly followed him. Tell me, don't you deserve to die? By the way, little girl, what should I call you now? Wang Dong'er or Tang Wutong?"

Tang Wutong's eyes were filled with pain and struggle. She choked weakly, "I don't know, I don't know anything, I can't believe Father would do this to me..."

Ye Qi'an scoffed, "You're nothing but a pawn in Tang San's hands. It's pathetic that you still hold him in such high esteem, believing him to be the greatest father in the world. Little do you know, he can manipulate even your soul at will to achieve his goals. But what I want to know is, did you ever truly love Huo Yuhao?"

Tang Wutong was slightly taken aback, a complex look flashing in her eyes. Although she was weak and her breathing was unstable at the moment, mentioning Huo Yuhao still touched the deepest emotions in her heart.

She bit her lip, replying with a hint of stubbornness, "I... of course I genuinely liked him. Those days spent with him, those beautiful memories, are all real, and they won't change because of anything else."

Ye Qi'an burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Hahaha, you really like him? Do you know that this might also be part of Tang San's plan? He's using you, and maybe even your feelings are part of his calculations, so that Huo Yuhao can proceed step by step according to his predetermined path. You've been kept in the dark from beginning to end."

Niu Tian and Titan frowned as they listened to Ye Qi'an's words. Although they were unwilling to believe that Tang San would do such a thing, the evidence in front of them made them question their past beliefs. At this moment, they did not know how to comfort Tang Wutong.

Tang Wutong's eyes were filled with pain and confusion, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably: "No, no, it can't be. My feelings for Yuhao are pure, not some kind of scheme. You're lying to me, you must be lying to me!"

"Do you think I need to lie to you?" Ye Qi'an's eyes were full of mockery. "You've witnessed some of your father Tang San's methods now. He's capable of anything to achieve his goals. What you perceive as pure affection might just be part of his meticulously planned scheme."

Tang Wutong shook her head desperately, her voice trembling with tears: "No way! Yuhao and I have been through so much together, those moments of life and death, those times we poured our hearts out to each other, how could it be fake? I don't believe it, I absolutely refuse to believe it!"

"Then let's bring out the person in question, Huo Yuhao." Ye Qi'an said calmly, raising his hand and waving it. A spatial rift suddenly appeared, and Huo Yuhao's body was now imprisoned within the dark and chaotic spatial rift.

Huo Yuhao looked at Wang Dong'er, who was being held by the neck by Ye Qi'an, his eyes filled with anxiety and anger. He struggled desperately, but was tightly bound by the power of the spatial rift and could not move.

"Now, in front of Huo Yuhao, tell him your real name."

Tang Wutong's eyes were filled with pain and turmoil. Her lips trembled as she looked at Huo Yuhao, her once bright pink-blue eyes now brimming with tears.

After hesitating for a long time, she said weakly, her voice trembling with tears, "Yuhao, I... I'm not called Wang Dong'er... My name is Tang Wutong. I didn't mean to hide it from you before, I..."

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was first stunned, then his face was filled with shock and disbelief. He stared wide-eyed and murmured, "Dong'er... Wu Tong, you... how could you..."

Ye Qi'an sneered from the side, "Look at this, isn't it interesting? Your so-called honesty was actually built on concealment and scheming from the very beginning. Huo Yuhao, do you still think your relationship is pure and without impurities? But I don't want to know right now. Tang Wutong, you can go in too."

As Ye Qian spoke, he forcefully flung Tang Wutong towards the spatial rift that imprisoned Huo Yuhao, and the spatial rift closed instantly.

"Do you hate me now?" Ye Qi'an asked calmly, looking down at Niu Tian and Titan, whose eyes were bloodshot with rage.

Niu Tian and Titan's eyes were filled with rage, their gazes seemingly capable of scorching Ye Qi'an. Niu Tian gritted his teeth, his voice trembling with anger as he said, "Ye Qi'an, you are so heartless and have committed such a heinous act. We are mortal enemies with you. Hatred is not enough to describe our feelings towards you right now. Today, you will pay the price!"

Titan roared repeatedly, "I wish I could tear you to pieces right now! You demon, you hurt Wu Tong and Huo Yuhao, two juniors, and you still dare to speak so arrogantly! We'll fight to the death to make sure you get away with this!"

As he spoke, Titan's soul power surged wildly, his muscles bulged, and his powerful aura spread outwards. He charged towards Ye Qi'an, and with each step he took, cracks appeared in the ground. His momentum was like that of a prehistoric beast.

Niu Tian wasn't idle either. Streaks of azure soul power flashed at his fingertips, then transformed into several long whips of soul power, lashing out at Ye Qi'an. Wherever the whips passed, the air crackled and popped, as if they were about to tear space apart.

Ye Qi'an remained calm, merely shaking his head as he looked at the two charging towards him, as if he were looking at two overconfident ants. The golden divine power around him grew stronger, forming a solid shield. The impact of Titan and Niu Tian's soul power whip only caused slight ripples on the shield, unable to cause any substantial damage to him.

"Is this all you've got? You think you can hurt me? I imagine in the God Realm, your strength could barely reach the level of a god, but once you come to Douluo Continent, your strength will be suppressed to the Limit Douluo level. If Tang Hao and the Blue Silver Emperor were still alive, you could indeed unleash god-level strength. It's a pity, though, that they died before you." Ye Qian said sarcastically.

Upon hearing this, Niu Tian and Titan were filled with even more resentment. However, they also knew that what Ye Qi'an said was true. Due to their limited strength, they were indeed unable to truly harm the Golden Dragon King, who had reached the level of a God King.

"Nine Heavens Dragon Roar." Ye Qi'an shouted, and a long sword radiating brilliant golden light suddenly appeared in his hand. Dragon patterns seemed to move on the blade of the sword, and faint dragon roars could be heard. With the appearance of the sword, the surrounding space seemed to be slightly distorted by the powerful aura it emitted.

"As the sovereign of the Soul Beasts, I hereby pronounce judgment upon you!" Ye Qi'an said coldly, his longsword, radiating brilliant golden light, pointing directly at Niu Tian and Titan. "You are Soul Beasts, yet you colluded with Tang San, committing numerous acts against the Soul Beast race. Today is your death day. Prepare to die!"

Having said that, he swung his longsword, and in an instant, golden light blazed forth. Countless golden sword energies, seemingly tangible, shot out from the blade. These energies converged and transformed into a gigantic golden dragon shadow, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Niu Tian and Titan. Wherever the dragon shadow passed, space was torn open with black rifts, and the immense pressure caused the Haotian Sect buildings below to sway precariously, as if they would collapse completely at any moment.

The golden dragon shadow, carrying a world-destroying aura, rushed towards Niu Tian and Titan. Although the two knew that danger was approaching, there was no fear in their eyes.

Titan roared, unleashing his full soul power without reservation. His muscles hardened like steel as he charged towards the dragon shadow, attempting to block the fatal blow with his own strength. Niu Tian, ​​meanwhile, wielded his hands, his soul power whip weaving into a cyan defensive net in the air. The soul power shone brightly as he cooperated with Titan to try and withstand Ye Qi'an's attack.

However, how could they easily withstand the power of a God-King? Moreover, Ye Qi'an, as the Golden Dragon King, was no ordinary God-King. His golden dragon shadow instantly broke through Titan's defenses, tearing through Niu Tian's defensive network as if it were nothing. The dragon shadow's giant claws easily pierced Titan's steel-like body, blood splattering everywhere. Titan's eyes widened, his face filled with resentment and rage. His massive body slowly collapsed, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Seeing this, Niu Tian was frantic and rushed towards Ye Qi'an, wanting to avenge Titan. But Ye Qi'an merely swung his longsword lightly; a golden sword aura sliced ​​across Niu Tian's neck, his head flying into the air, the light in his eyes extinguished.

With Niu Tian and Titan fallen, the Haotian Sect fell into a deathly silence. Ye Qi'an sheathed his longsword, the divine light around him gradually dissipating. He glanced coldly at the bloody scene at his feet, then turned and slowly walked away.

"Haotian is dead..."
