Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

If it weren't for the Soul Beast army forcibly entering the world, the trend of the Sun Moon Empire unifying the continent would have been almost inevitable. From the distant sky, Mingdu looked like a huge monster, stretching across the plains, with only the imperial palace at its core appearing somewhat out of place.

Several days passed, and the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace still appeared to be under martial law. However, there was no doubt that it would not be long before the martial law would turn into construction. With the strength of the Sun and Moon Empire, a brand new imperial palace could be built in two years at most, and it would definitely be more magnificent and more heavily fortified than before.

"Zihuang Mietianlong is really patient. Fine, let me push you a little further." Ye Qi'an murmured to himself as he looked down at the Sun and Moon Palace.

The Sun Moon Empire's palace has been destroyed, but the Sun Moon Empire's royal family is still in Mingdu. The buildings closest to the palace have been completely encircled and heavily guarded. Ye Qi'an immediately discovered the presence of several Soul Master Corps members, as well as a very well-constructed Soul Guidance Base, with various detection Soul Guidance Devices even more densely packed than before.

These buildings are not tall. Buildings around the palace are not allowed to be tall, that's a given. And the palace itself is not built particularly tall either, because tall buildings are the easiest targets for soul-guided devices.

Orange was in a room on the third floor of one of the buildings. Xu Tianran was not with her; he was in another building where the defenses were much tighter.

Ye Qi'an waved his hand, and all the soul tools he had plundered instantly disappeared into the void. The area covered was so vast that it almost encompassed the entire Sun Moon Imperial Palace. According to his estimate, if these soul tools were detonated, the explosive power would be enough to destroy a country in an instant.

"The soul-guided devices that humanity has spent its entire lives researching, who would have thought that one day they would be destroyed by them?"

Ye Qi'an shook his head with a wry smile, but his eyes revealed a resolute determination. He then quietly merged into the void. When he reappeared, he was already in a dark corner of Mingdu City.

Space opened up again, and Ye Qi'an flashed into the building where the orange was located.

This is a luxurious hotel with only three floors and a vast area. It is obvious that it belongs to the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. Ju Zi is in the largest room on the third floor, with a large number of maids standing outside the door.

Just then, the gold and silver dragon scale pendant hanging around her neck suddenly lit up. Orange trembled all over. She walked to her desk and sat down, trying to calm herself down. She muttered to herself, "Don't show yourself. The security here has been strengthened. If you show up, you will be discovered immediately."

"Hehe, are you underestimating me? How could a soul tool made by mortals detect the whereabouts of a god?" Ye Qi'an said as his figure appeared behind Ju Zi.

Orange was startled. Although she had expected Ye Qi'an wouldn't be easily stopped, his sudden appearance behind her still caught her off guard. She quickly turned around, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Now that you've arrived, does that mean that the other three great empires besides the Sun Moon Empire have perished?"

"That's right. Under the trampling of my soul beast army, three of the four great empires have been destroyed. I have done what I promised you. As for those enemies who killed your parents, you can imagine what their fate is now." Ye Qi'an nodded slightly.

Upon hearing this, Orange's face turned deathly pale, her eyes filled with shock and complex emotions. She swayed slightly, as if she were about to lose her balance, and instinctively grabbed the edge of the desk with both hands.

"You...you actually..." Orange's voice trembled slightly. She was filled with mixed feelings. All those painful memories and resentment towards her enemies rushed into her mind. But now that she heard the news of the destruction of the three great empires, she did not feel the joy she had expected. Instead, she was shrouded in a heavy sorrow.

"Ju Zi, it's no longer safe for you to stay here. A great battle is about to take place here, and the Sun Moon Empire will surely perish," Ye Qi'an said calmly.

Ju Zi suddenly looked up, her eyes filled with disbelief. She stared at Ye Qi'an, her voice tinged with urgency: "A major battle? Are you really going to do this?"

"Do you think the current Xu Tianran is still the same Xu Tianran from before? The current Xu Tianran is full of violence at all times. You should have noticed that something is wrong with Xu Tianran a long time ago, right?" Ye Qian asked.

Ju Zi paused slightly, recalling Xu Tianran's recent behavior. After a moment of silence, she slowly spoke, "I did notice something was off about him, but I kept thinking it was just the pressure of the situation. But what you're saying is that there's another reason he's like this?"

Ye Qi'an frowned slightly and said with a solemn expression, "Xu Tianran has long been secretly controlled by the Zihuang Mietianlong. His every move is manipulated by it. If I am not mistaken, the Zihuang Mietianlong is about to fully awaken and take over Xu Tianran's body to revive.

"Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon? Isn't that Xu Tianran's martial soul?" Orange asked in confusion.

Ye Qi'an shook his head slightly and explained with a serious expression: "It's not that simple. The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was born with the Dragon God and has a powerful destructive attribute. It is one of the two major elements at the beginning of the universe. Its overall strength is not necessarily weaker than mine."

Orange's eyes widened, her face filled with fear and worry: "What should we do? If the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon really seizes Xu Tianran's body and resurrects, wouldn't that be another disaster?"

Ye Qi'an put his hands behind his back and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm here to get rid of him, so that the four great empires can be destroyed and a new order can be established."

Ju Zi looked at Ye Qi'an, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes. After a moment, she said, "But the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon is so powerful, are you really absolutely confident?"

"Don't even talk about whether Zihuang Mietian is at his peak right now. Even if he were at his peak, he still couldn't beat me. From the very beginning, his fate was sealed," Ye Qi'an said calmly.

Orange felt somewhat relieved after hearing Ye Qi'an's words.

Ye Qi'an raised his hand and gently touched Ju Zi's forehead. A powerful surge of cultivation energy instantly flowed into Ju Zi's body through his fingertips. Ju Zi felt a warmth spread through her body, and her previously flustered heart gradually calmed down. She looked at Ye Qi'an in surprise.

"I forcibly raised your cultivation to the limit that Douluo Continent could withstand, and I also removed your martial soul and soul rings. From now on, all you have to do is accept the godhood I have prepared for you. Once you complete the godhood inheritance, Douluo Continent will basically be wiped out by me, and you will lead the surviving humans."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi was filled with shock and confusion: "A divine position? What merit do I have to receive the inheritance of a divine position? This all happened too suddenly, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task."

Ye Qi'an looked at her with expectation in his eyes: "This divine succession is rightfully yours, and it is also the only way for you to rule over everyone in the coming new order."

Orange pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Since you trust me so much, I will do my best to try. However, this divine succession is bound to be fraught with difficulties. What should I do?"

Ye Qi'an said, "I have already helped you establish the initial fusion of the Heavenly Guardian God Position, and my power will guide you to gradually complete the inheritance." As he spoke, Ye Qi'an raised his hand and waved it, and a bright light gate quietly appeared.

"Beyond this gate of light lies the Divine Dragon Realm, which is the divine realm I established. Once you enter, someone will tell you what to do."

As Ju Zi looked at the portal of light, she was still a little uneasy, but her eyes became more determined. She took a deep breath and stepped into the portal.

"After you complete the succession to godhood, I will personally resurrect your parents. Consider this my reward to you."

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi abruptly stopped, her eyes instantly filled with surprise and excitement. She turned to look at Ye Qi'an, her voice trembling slightly, "You...you can really resurrect my parents?"

Ye Qi'an nodded slightly, his expression gentle yet resolute: "Of course, since I have made a promise, I will definitely keep it. Go and accept the divine succession with peace of mind. When you return, everything will be as you wish."

Tears welled up in Ju Zi's eyes, her gratitude beyond words. She bowed deeply to Ye Qi'an and said, "Thank you so much. I will definitely succeed in completing the inheritance."

Having said that, she no longer hesitated, resolutely turned around, and stepped into the portal of light. As her figure disappeared into it, the portal slowly closed, and the light gradually dissipated, as if it had never existed.

Ye Qi'an stared at the spot where the portal had disappeared, muttering to himself, "Ju Zi, I hope you can pass the test smoothly and let me see what level the remaining humans can reach under your leadership." Then, he composed himself, his gaze turning cold and sharp, his divine power burning like flames as he sped toward the building where Xu Tianran was.

At this moment, the purple aura around the building grew even stronger, and faint dragon roars could be heard, as if the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon had sensed the danger and was preparing to strike.

Ye Qi'an was even faster, arriving in front of the building in the blink of an eye. He released his aura without any concealment, and nine golden-colored soul rings and a nine-colored dragon god ring appeared one after another. The Dragon King's Divine Armor, the Supreme Artifact Nine Heavens Dragon Roar, and the Supreme Artifact World-Destroying Eye appeared one after another.

Looking up at the sky, Ye Qi'an snapped his fingers, and the soul tools he had hidden in the void, which covered the entire Sun and Moon Imperial Palace, instantly appeared. They floated densely in mid-air, emitting a cold metallic luster, like a sea of ​​metal clouds, ready to fall and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

"Smack..."

With a snap of fingers, the densely packed soul-guided devices launched an attack, and the barrage of fire instantly enveloped the entire Sun Moon Empire.

As the soul-guided devices launched their offensive, the area around the Sun Moon Empire's palace was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke. The deafening roar of the explosions and the powerful impact shattered nearby buildings, sending bricks and dust flying everywhere.

Nine level-nine soul-guided cannons fell one after another, and the sound of explosions resounded throughout the Douluo Continent. Even soul masters thousands of miles away could feel the strong tremor.

The area surrounding the Sun and Moon Empire's palace was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke. Buildings collapsed under the impact of the explosion, and flames raged among the ruins, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Ye Qi'an stood atop the chaos, his eyes cold and resolute, his divine power like a materialized storm, swirling and roaring around him.

"Sister Ling, have all the innocent people been moved away?" Ye Qi'an communicated with the life core of Douluo Continent in a silent voice.

"They've all been transferred. You can use your power with peace of mind. Just make sure it's resolved quickly and doesn't cause too much damage. The Douluo Continent can't withstand a battle between gods for long," the Life Core said gently.

"I've already isolated this place. This battle will last at most half a quarter of an hour. I have a way to make up for the damage caused now," Ye Qi'an said with a slight nod.

Just then, the damaged building beneath Ye Qi'an was suddenly enveloped in a dense purple light. The next second, a roar resounded, and collapsed stones scattered in all directions.

"Zihuang Annihilates the Heavenly Dragon, and you can't stay still anymore? I thought you'd always be a coward."

Before Ye Qi'an could finish speaking, Xu Tianran, controlled by the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Soul, slowly rose from the purple light. Its body was surrounded by an aura of destruction, and its purple scales shimmered with a cold light under the firelight. Its dragon eyes were full of ferocity and violence as it stared intently at Ye Qi'an.

"Golden Dragon King, you're courting death!"

Ye Qi'an's face darkened, and he sneered, "Zihuang Mietianlong, don't think you can threaten me. You are not the same person you were before. Your strength is probably less than one-tenth of what it used to be. Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you are at most a half-step God King."

After he finished speaking, the nine golden soul rings and the nine-colored dragon god ring on his body shone brightly, and the golden light of the Dragon King's Divine Armor was as dazzling as the sun, dispelling the surrounding smoke.

"Purple Dragon Spear!" With a roar from the Purple Dragon Extinction, a long spear radiating a dark purple light instantly materialized in front of it. Destructive power seemed to flow along the spear, as if it could pierce through space itself.

Zihuang Mietianlong swung the Zihuang Dragon Spear and thrust it fiercely at Ye Qi'an. Wherever the spear tip passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed slightly. After all, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was an existence on par with the Dragon God. Even now, he dared not be arrogant. He saw that the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar in his hand instantly turned the soul guides that had been launched into streams of metallic liquid, which merged into the sword and shone brightly.

Holding the radiant Nine Heavens Dragon Roar, Ye Qi'an moved like lightning, charging towards the Purple Emperor Dragon Spear that the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was thrusting at him.

The two divine artifacts collided, and in an instant, they shone brightly, like a dazzling star exploding on the ruins. The intense energy fluctuations spread wildly outward from the point of impact, shattering the remaining walls and debris into dust once again, raising clouds of dust.

"Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, how long do you think Xu Tianran's body can hold out?" Ye Qi'an said while attacking.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's eyes flashed with a barely perceptible panic, but it was quickly concealed by ferocity. It roared, "Hmph, stop spreading alarmist rumors. Even if this body can't hold on, I will drag you down with me! Then I will take over your body and revive."
