Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Beneath the war-torn sky, the battle between Ye Qi'an and Zi Huang Mie Tianlong reached its climax. Ye Qi'an's Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword shone brightly, each swing seemingly capable of tearing the heavens apart. Golden sword energy, like a surging golden tide, swept towards Zi Huang Mie Tianlong with overwhelming force, hissing and rippled through the air as it passed, seemingly unable to withstand the pressure.

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was not to be outdone. It wielded its Purple Emperor Dragon Spear, the tip coiled with purplish-black destructive energy like a serpent. Each thrust seemed to pierce the barrier of space and time, colliding fiercely with Ye Qi'an's golden sword energy. At the point of impact, sparks of energy erupted like dazzling fireworks, or like stars exploding, releasing shockwaves that spread outwards in a ring, instantly leveling the town below and obscuring half the sky with the rising dust.

"You think you can succeed? Your ambition is nothing but a mirage." Ye Qi'an sneered, his sword aura suddenly changing. The originally surging sword energy transformed into countless tiny golden sword shadows, densely packed like stars in the sky, enveloping the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. These sword shadows were exceptionally agile, weaving and intertwining in the air, forming a golden sword net that blocked all of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's escape routes.

Seeing this, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's eyes flashed with purple light, and it slammed its Purple Emperor Dragon Spear into the ground. In an instant, the earth began to tremble violently, and countless purplish-black energy pillars shot into the sky from the ground. These energy pillars were inscribed with ancient and mysterious runes, which released a powerful suction force as they flickered. As Ye Qi'an's golden sword net approached these energy pillars, it was slowly pulled towards them, the sword shadows gradually twisting and deforming, and finally being sucked into the energy pillars and disappearing.

"Golden Dragon King, you're quite something, and your body is quite something too. Die! Then your body will be mine! Purple Dragon Spear, Dragon Emperor's Wrath!"

Suddenly, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon unleashed a powerful destructive force. The Dragon Emperor's Wrath caused the surrounding space to distort and deform, and surging energy waves swept towards Ye Qi'an.

This energy was like a materialized black storm, mixed with purplish-black lightning. Wherever the lightning struck, space was torn open with dark cracks, from which came the chilling howling of spatial turbulence.

Ye Qi'an's expression was grave; he knew the power of this attack should not be underestimated. "You're not qualified to take over my body!"

Ye Qi'an shouted, and the Nine-Colored Dragon God Ring on his body spun rapidly, releasing a dazzling shield. Various strange divine beast patterns appeared on the shield, emitting a soft light. The light intertwined to form an indestructible defensive layer.

At the same time, he manipulated the power of the Dragon King's Divine Armor, fully strengthening the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword in his hand. Dragon patterns shimmered on the sword's blade, and a small golden dragon seemed to swim across it, each movement infusing the sword with new power.

Golden sword energy and purple destructive energy collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar. The light was so bright it was blinding, and the ground beneath Ye Qi'an's feet could not withstand the immense pressure, beginning to crack and collapse. Huge boulders were hurled into the air, only to be reduced to dust by the impact of the energy.

"Hmph, even if you have the strongest moves, you can't break through the combination of my defense and power. Besides, Xu Tianran's body seems to be about to give out," Ye Qian said disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon felt a chill run down its spine. It could indeed sense that Xu Tianran's body was gradually on the verge of collapse during this intense battle. However, it was now in a predicament; if it could not defeat Ye Qi'an, all its previous plans would be in vain.

"Even if this body is destroyed, I will drag you down with me!" The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon roared madly. Ignoring the burden on its body, it forcibly fused its soul power with the destructive energy. The purple light on the dragon spear instantly surged, like an energy star about to explode.

Within the purple light, some purplish-black crystals could be faintly seen condensing. These crystals exuded an aura of despair, as if they were symbols of death.

Seeing this, Ye Qi'an dared not be careless in the slightest. He activated the Dragon King Divine Armor's defense to its maximum, while the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword in his hand began to condense a new form of power. The space around the sword began to distort, forming tiny vortexes, each containing energy powerful enough to shatter everything. Golden light flashed intermittently within the vortexes, and within that light seemed to conceal some mysterious law, making it impossible to look directly at.

"Nine Heavens Dragon Roar - Shattering the Void!" Ye Qi'an swung his sword, and a blade containing the laws of the Dragon God roared out. Wherever it passed, the vortex of space was like a series of sharp blades, cutting through the destructive energy of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

Wherever the sword blade passed, space was neatly cut open, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror, and the surrounding energy was drawn into it and instantly pulverized.

The two forces collided once more, this time with even greater force. The entire sky above the Sun Moon Empire was enveloped in dazzling light, and the aftershocks of the energy spread outwards, flattening several distant mountain ranges. Wherever the light reached, forests were ignited, raging fires blazed, and rivers dried up, leaving only parched riverbeds.

"Products of the old era should be severed by space and shattered by time as the era ends!" Ye Qi'an shouted.

Under the powerful impact, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's soul trembled, and Xu Tianran's body was damaged in many places, with blood gushing out. But it still held on, the purple light in its eyes flickering uncertainly, as if it was thinking of a final counterattack.

"Ye Qi'an, don't be so smug. The energy in this world is far more than this." The voice of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was resolute. It suddenly plunged its dragon spear into the ground, and the Purple Emperor power on the dragon spear surged wildly into the earth.

In an instant, countless purplish-black energy pillars surged from the ground, connecting to form a massive energy matrix that trapped Ye Qian within. The energy matrix shimmered with various complex runes, linked by energy beams to create a tightly sealed confinement space. Inside, Ye Qian felt the surrounding space become incredibly viscous, his movements sluggish, and each swing of his sword felt like fighting against an immense force.

"You're too naive to think you can trap me with such methods." Ye Qi'an concentrated his mind, gathering his divine power into a single point, attempting to break through the confinement of this energy matrix.

"The Golden End: The Wrath of the Dragon God!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qi'an unleashed the destructive power within his body, his entire body glowing with a golden, crystalline luster. At this moment, his aura was as intense as the sun, and his illusory dragon head roared, spewing out crystalline flames. Within these flames, there seemed to be the chaotic power of the universe's primordial beginnings. That power was pure and immense; wherever it went, the purplish-black energy pillars began to crack, seemingly vulnerable to attack.

Upon seeing this, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was greatly alarmed, never expecting Ye Qi'an to unleash such powerful strength. It hurriedly drew its dragon spear from the earth, pouring all its remaining soul power and destructive energy into it, and then hurled it at Ye Qi'an with all its might.

The dragon spear ripped through the sky with a destructive roar, colliding head-on with the azure-colored flames. In an instant, it was as if an enormous energy bomb had exploded in the sky, its dazzling light eclipsing the world's color. The powerful energy shockwave spread wildly in all directions like a raging tsunami. Wherever the energy impact passed, the earth was deeply ravaged, leaving deep furrows, like scars on the land.

Ye Qi'an swayed slightly under the powerful impact, but he managed to stabilize himself thanks to the protection of the Dragon King's Divine Armor and the Nine-Colored Dragon God Ring.

"Golden Dragon King, you are very powerful. Even the Dragon God of the past cannot compare to you now. But don't forget, I am the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, possessing the Law of Destruction." Although the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon spoke arrogantly, his aura was already very weak.

Ye Qi'an's gaze was piercing as he replied, "So what if it's the Law of Annihilation? It's nothing to fear before me."

Having said that, the golden crystal luster on Ye Qi'an's body became even more dazzling. He took the initiative to attack, charging towards the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon with the wrath of the Dragon God. The Dragon King's Divine Armor fluttered as he flew at high speed, and the divine power released by the Nine-Colored Dragon God Ring rippled outwards like waves.

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon forced itself to its feet, preparing to meet Ye Qi'an's attack. It gathered the power of the Law of Destruction into the Purple Emperor Dragon Spear, and the space around the spear began to twist and collapse rapidly, as if forming small black holes that devoured all light and energy around it. Around the black holes, spacetime seemed to be disordered, with images of the past, present, and future flashing and intertwining within them.

As Ye Qi'an approached, he unleashed a series of golden crescent-shaped sword energies. These energies resonated with the vortexes in the space, carrying an aura capable of cleaving through heaven and earth, and roared towards the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. The edges of the crescent-shaped sword energies were incredibly sharp; as they flew through the air, one could even hear the sharp sound of the air being cut, like the howl of death.

Zihuang Mietianlong brandished his dragon spear, fighting back fiercely. Each collision unleashed a deafening roar, and the impact of energy caused the ground to tremble and crack once again.

Just then, Xu Tianran's body suddenly swelled, and the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon unleashed its true form. Its enormous body instantly blotted out a large portion of the sky, its dragon scales shimmering with a chilling purple light, each scale seemingly containing boundless destructive power. Faintly, purplish-black smoke swirled around the dragon scales, as if it were the aura of hell.

The true form of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon appeared in the world, letting out a deafening roar. The sound waves spread outwards as if they were tangible, causing ripples in the space wherever they went, and the distant clouds were instantly shattered.

"The real body? Everyone has one."

As Ye Qi'an spoke, golden light emanated from his body. This gold was exceptionally thick, and although it was just light, it was as dazzling as solid gold.

A series of deep roars followed. At first, the sound was very low, but soon it became high-pitched. It was a dragon's roar, a roar filled with endless destructive and devastating desires. The terrifying dragon's roar echoed across the battlefield, and the increasingly powerful golden light soared into the sky.

With a deep, muffled thud, a giant claw emerged from the golden light. As it slammed into the ground, a massive claw-shaped dent instantly appeared, measuring hundreds of square meters in size.

The giant claw was golden, with five fingers, each joint being exceptionally thick. Each joint had a circular protrusion, like a golden gemstone inlaid there, covered with shimmering golden spiral patterns. At the very tip of the giant claw were sharp, cone-like claw points. The giant claw appeared out of nowhere.

"Bang!" Another muffled sound rang out, and another giant claw emerged from the golden light. The two claws dug deep marks into the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

In the next instant, a colossal creature rose fiercely from the crack, its appearance like a mountain soaring into the sky, its intense gold color rendering the entire land golden.

Its scales shimmered with a magnificent light. Each scale was rhomboid, and the center point of the two intersecting lines of the rhombus rose up, forming four ridges. They were thick, solid, and full of sharpness. Even a single scale was more than one square meter in size, and the number of scales on its huge body was countless.

Its enormous wings spread out behind it, and on its huge head, sharp spikes emerged from the top of its head and the lower jaw. The spikes on the top of its head extended all the way down its spine to its tail. Its tail was very long, but the tip suddenly became thick and covered with spikes.

This is a giant dragon, a terrifying dragon nearly a thousand feet long. Its eyes are the color of rubies, and its pupils are filled with a ferocious and violent light.

"Roar—" With its wings fully extended, its massive body was suspended in mid-air. A terrifying pressure lingered in the air. With this roar, unparalleled blood and qi power burst forth from its body.

The true form of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon suddenly appeared, its powerful pressure spreading outwards like surging waves, causing the energy of heaven and earth to become chaotic. Ye Qi'an, transformed into a giant dragon, was not to be outdone, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit, his massive body stretching out in mid-air, his golden dragon scales gleaming with a chilling brilliance in the sunlight.

The two giant dragons faced each other, and the space seemed to freeze.

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon launched the first attack. It opened its blood-red maw, and a purplish-black energy vortex, like a black hole, swept towards Ye Qi'an. Wherever it passed, space was mercilessly distorted and torn apart, emitting a chilling shriek. Within the energy vortex, countless wronged souls seemed to struggle and weep; the evil aura emanating from it sent shivers down one's spine.

Upon seeing this, Ye Qi'an raised his enormous dragon head high and spewed out a golden dragon breath containing pure dragon god power, which collided violently with the purplish-black energy vortex in mid-air.

In an instant, light burst forth, and ripples of energy spread in all directions, shaking the mountains and rivers below.

Immediately afterward, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon swung its massive body, and the Purple Emperor Dragon Spear, controlled by its claws, shimmered with an eerie light, carrying the power of the law of destruction, and pierced towards Ye Qi'an like lightning. As the dragon spear thrust out, the surrounding space was compressed into a straight line, as if all of space made way for this spear.

Ye Qi'an swung his golden giant claw, the tip of which collided with the dragon spear, scattering a series of dazzling energy sparks. Each collision was accompanied by a deafening roar, as if it would shatter the entire world.

Taking advantage of the situation, Ye Qi'an spread his wings and his figure flashed like golden lightning, instantly closing in on the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. He lashed out at the dragon with his long, spiked tail. The tail drew a golden arc in the air, creating a whistling sound, like the scythe of death.

Unable to dodge in time, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was struck on one side of its body, sending large patches of purplish-black scales flying and blood cascading down like a waterfall. But it refused to give in. In the instant it was wounded, a flash of light appeared on its horns, and a beam of destructive light shot towards Ye Qi'an's eyes. Wherever the beam of destruction passed, the space was scorched with a blackened mark, as if licked by demonic flames.

Ye Qi'an quickly turned his head to avoid it, and the light grazed its cheek, leaving a charred mark on its face.

"Such powerful destructive force. You are the first to be able to leave damage on my current body."

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon snorted coldly and said, "This is just the beginning. I will destroy you completely." After saying that, its body was filled with a bright purple-black light, and its already huge body began to slowly expand again. The dark purple light on its dragon scales flickered more and more rapidly, as if it was accumulating an even more terrifying power.

Ye Qi'an also sensed a strong crisis. He frantically circulated the power of the Dragon God within his body, and golden light seeped out from the gaps in the scales, wrapping around its body like strands of gold.

"Then let me see how much you still have up your sleeve!" Ye Qian roared, flapping his wings violently, sending countless golden wind blades hurtling towards the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. Each of these wind blades contained the power to cut through space, leaving tiny cracks in the air wherever they passed. As the wind blades flew, they emitted a sharp whistling sound, as if the sharpest razor in the universe was slicing through the void.

Facing the oncoming wind blades, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon neither dodged nor evaded. It covered its body with the power of the law of destruction, and the wind blades that struck it only caused ripples, without causing any substantial damage.

Then, it opened its maw again, this time spitting out not an energy vortex, but a purplish-black energy sphere. Twisted spatial patterns surrounded the sphere, emanating an aura of despair and destruction. Within the energy sphere seemed to be a small, destructive world sealed away; its detonation would have unimaginable consequences.

Ye Qi'an dared not underestimate him. He activated the full power of the Dragon King Divine Armor, condensing a huge golden shield in front of him. Ancient dragon patterns appeared on the shield, shimmering with mysterious light. The energy ball collided with the shield, producing a deafening roar. The entire shield trembled violently, and Ye Qi'an was also thrown backward, drawing a long golden arc in the sky.

After regaining his footing, a resolute glint flashed in Ye Qi'an's eyes. He decided to take the initiative and abandon passive defense. He deeply fused his soul power with the power of the Dragon God, and his body instantly transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing towards the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon like a golden meteor. During the charge, his body continued to grow larger, until finally it was on par with the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

The two colossal dragons clashed again in mid-air. This time, the collision lacked a dazzling burst of energy; it was a pure contest of strength against strength. Their bodies intertwined and pressed together, their claws frantically scratching at each other's scales, staining the sky crimson with blood. With each scratch, the sound of scales being torn apart could be heard, as if steel were being dismantled.

"Devastating Strike—Heavenly Meteor!"

As soon as the words fell, the purplish-black light emanating from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon instantly contracted and converged on the dragon spear. The space around the spear began to collapse violently, forming a massive dark vortex that seemed poised to suck everything in its path. Within the dark vortex, spacetime was completely distorted, and everything was engulfed in endless darkness and chaos.

Then, with overwhelming force, it stabbed fiercely at Ye Qi'an. The power contained in this strike was enough to destroy stars and change the color of the heavens and earth.

"Eye of Annihilation—Open!" Ye Qi'an suddenly shouted, a light flashing on his forehead, and a vertical pupil emitting a ghostly blue light slowly opened.

This pupil seemed to contain boundless power of space and time, instantly freezing the surrounding space and slowing the flow of time to an extreme degree. Under the gaze of this pupil, the incomparably powerful attack of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was greatly reduced in speed due to the influence of this power, and the originally unstoppable dark vortex began to show cracks, as if it were being restrained by an invisible force.
