Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"break!"

The deep blue light in Ye Qi'an's eyes suddenly intensified, like a ray of dawn piercing through the darkness, rushing straight towards the attack that Zihuang Mietianlong had gathered all of his power for.

Despite the interference of the power of spacetime, Zihuang Mietianlong's attack still carried a world-destroying momentum, but the dark vortex at the tip of the spear began to disintegrate inch by inch, emitting a painful "hissing" sound.

Seeing this, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's eyes widened. It was unwilling to let its strongest move be neutralized like this, so it poured its soul power into the dragon spear again without reservation, trying to break through Ye Qi'an's space-time blockade.

"Noisy."

Ye Qi'an sensed the Zihuang Annihilation Dragon's resistance growing stronger. He snorted coldly, and the World-Destroying Eye on his forehead shone brightly, distorting the surrounding spacetime into a strange domain. Within this domain, he was the ruler, and all energy and matter had to obey his will.

Ye Qi'an swung his golden giant claw, and wherever the claw tip swept across, rifts in space and time spread out like a spider web, enveloping the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was trapped by Ye Qi'an's spacetime rift. Its massive body struggled within the rift, each movement accompanied by the pain of its scales being torn. But how could it, as a powerful being possessing the Law of Destruction, be easily defeated? It endured the pain, spewing out a purple-black flame mixed with soul power and the Law of Destruction. The flame burned along the spacetime rift, attempting to incinerate Ye Qi'an's spacetime domain.

Seeing the flames approaching, Ye Qi'an calmly flapped his enormous golden wings, creating a golden storm containing the power of the Dragon God and pure energy, which neutralized the purplish-black flames in mid-air.

In an instant, a strange scene of gold and purple appeared in the sky, with flashing light and energy fluctuations spreading outwards like surging waves.

"Purple Emperor Annihilates Heavenly Dragon, your resistance is futile, today is your end! Nine Heavens Dragon Roar—Dragon Clan Judgment!" Ye Qi'an's voice echoed across the battlefield, filled with majesty and domineering power.

As soon as he finished speaking, golden light surged around Ye Qi'an like a raging tide, and the sound of dragon roars resounded through the sky, as if thousands of giant dragons were roaring in unison. A huge phantom of a dragon god appeared behind him, and the dragon god's majestic eyes shot out a sharp golden light as it stared at the trapped Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

Ye Qi'an continuously gathered the power of the Dragon God into the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword, and the sword instantly grew to a length of a hundred feet. The dragon patterns on the sword seemed to be alive, meandering and undulating, exuding a chilling aura.

"Roar... This is impossible! How could your divine weapon possibly judge me!" The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon roared, its purple dragon eyes fixed on Ye Qi'an.

"Nothing is impossible. You've probably heard of the Dragon Slayer Blade, right?" Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head slightly.

Upon hearing the words "Dragon-Slaying Blade," the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's massive body trembled violently, a flicker of fear crossing its eyes. It was well aware of the Dragon-Slaying Blade's illustrious reputation in the history of the dragon race; it was carved from the horn of the Dragon God and could judge any creature possessing dragon blood.

Ye Qi'an looked at Zihuang Mietianlong's reaction, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he continued, "Although this sword is broken and no longer has the power it once had, its power has been integrated into my Nine Heavens Dragon Roar. Now, you, Zihuang Mietianlong, will become the first dragon to be judged by me."

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon felt an overwhelming fear, but its inherent pride as a powerful dragon prevented it from accepting its fate. It frantically mobilized all the energy within its body, and the power of the laws of destruction around its dragon body intertwined and flickered like black lightning, attempting to break free from this desperate situation before Ye Qi'an could unleash his judgment.

Ye Qi'an remained unmoved, slowly raising the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword in his hand. The dragon patterns on the sword shimmered with dazzling golden light, as if echoing the impending judgment. The phantom of the dragon god became increasingly clear, and the pressure emanating from its body pressed down on the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon as if it were a tangible force.

"Do you think struggling is any use? Before the power of the Dragon Slayer Blade, no dragon can escape the fate of being judged." Ye Qi'an's icy voice rang out again.

As his words fell, the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword swung down fiercely, unleashing a massive golden sword aura that pierced the sun like a rainbow, slashing towards the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon. This sword aura contained the will of the Dragon God, the power of spacetime, and the judgmental power of the Dragon Slayer Blade. Wherever it passed, space was torn open with a pitch-black rift, and time seemed to stand still.

The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon stared wide-eyed in despair. It could clearly feel the terrifying power contained in this attack, a power capable of completely annihilating it. With a final, deafening roar, it concentrated all its remaining power into its dragon spear, desperately resisting the sword energy.

However, the moment the two collided, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's resistance was as fragile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot. The golden sword energy easily broke through its defenses and struck its dragon body directly. In an instant, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's massive body was split in two, and purplish-black blood rained down like a storm.

The body of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was split in two, and its massive form crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust. However, just as its life was about to dissipate, a purplish-black dragon soul emerged from the shattered body like a ghost. Taking advantage of Ye Qi'an's weakened state before his divine power had fully recovered and his defenses were slightly relaxed, it rushed straight towards Ye Qi'an like a shadow.

"Trying to possess my body? You're really persistent. Well then, let's see." Ye Qi'an said calmly, then opened his mind.

In fact, this was exactly what he was waiting for Zihuang Mietianlong to do. After all, the dragon soul of Zihuang Mietianlong was a great tonic for the nine dragon kings, and its benefits to him were self-evident. He had also been eyeing the Law of Annihilation for a long time, and he wanted to refine it directly.

The dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon plunged into Ye Qi'an's sea of ​​consciousness. As soon as it entered, it began to frantically rush around, trying to take control of this domain of consciousness.

However, at that moment, an extremely terrifying figure silently appeared. The phantom soared into the clouds, like a primordial beast descending upon the world. Two pairs of bull horns grew from its head, horns seemingly forged from jet-black iron, their sharp tips appearing capable of piercing the heavens. Its four eyes were like burning flames, their red light flashing as if concealing endless fury and majesty. Each glance seemed to judge the good and evil of the world. Its hair and sideburns stood upright like swords and halberds, radiating a sharp aura that seemed capable of severing anything in its path, inspiring fear in all who beheld it. An ancient and mysterious aura surrounded its figure, as if it had crossed over from the primordial era, bringing with it endless vicissitudes and domineering power.

"You mere Dragon Soul dares to be so insolent here! Kneel before me!"

Chi You's voice boomed like a bell in Ye Qi'an's mind, and that powerful and domineering force instantly filled every corner.

The dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was stunned by this powerful pressure, and its frenzied charging stopped abruptly. Its purplish-black figure slowly knelt down towards the phantom of Chi You while trembling.

"Imprisonment!"

With a low shout from Chi You, a dark light shot out from his hand, instantly binding the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon tightly. The dragon soul let out a painful wail, struggling desperately under the binding force, but it could not move an inch.

"Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, do you still want to possess my body?"

Ye Qi'an looked at the imprisoned and wretched dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his lips, his eyes full of amusement.

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon flashed with resentment and unwillingness. However, due to being imprisoned, it could no longer make any substantial movements and could only let out a series of low roars, as if responding to Ye Qi'an's provocation. The voice was filled with intense resentment and venom.

"Hmph, you ignorant fool, you just tried to possess me, and now you can't even protect yourself." Ye Qi'an said as he slowly approached the dragon soul, his spiritual power flowing around him, ready to deal with the dragon soul's sudden counterattack at any time. Although he was restrained by Chi You, he did not dare to be careless.

The dragon soul's purplish-black figure writhed within the dark, imprisoning light, as if trying to break free and settle scores with Ye Qi'an. However, each struggle only brought more intense pain, and the agonizing cries echoed in Ye Qi'an's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Who...are you?!"

Ye Qi'an was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "Who am I? Hmph, the one who will kill you today is me, Ye Qi'an! You beast, don't you understand the situation yet?"

Upon hearing this, the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's eyes burned with even greater hatred. It roared in response, "Ye Qi'an, don't be so smug! Even if my soul is shattered today, you will pay the price! You think you can refine me so easily? That's wishful thinking!"

Ye Qi'an, however, was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed loudly: "Haha, you are nothing but a fish on a chopping board now, at my mercy. You still dare to speak so arrogantly. When I have completely refined you and integrated the Law of Annihilation into myself, and my strength has reached a new level, who will remember your defeated soul? The Nine Dragon Kings, accept the great gift from the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings in Ye Qi'an's sea of ​​souls appeared together. The one in the lead was the Mountain Dragon King, followed by the Earth Dragon King, Wind Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King, Light Dragon King, Dark Dragon King, Space Dragon King, and finally the Time Dragon King.

As soon as the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings appeared, they exuded a powerful and majestic aura, and the entire sea of ​​consciousness seemed to be filled with this aura.

The Mountain Dragon King spoke first, his voice booming in Ye Qi'an's mind: "Golden Dragon King, are you really confident in refining the dragon soul of this Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon? Don't bring trouble upon yourself."

Ye Qi'an respectfully bowed to the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings and replied, "Mountain Dragon King, rest assured, I have a complete plan. The law of destruction contained in the dragon soul of the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon is a rare opportunity for us. I will definitely be able to refine it successfully and use it for our own purposes."

The Earth Dragon King frowned slightly, scrutinizing the imprisoned and still struggling Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon's soul, and said in a deep voice, "Even so, this Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon is not easy to deal with. Even now that only its soul remains, if its remaining power were to erupt in your sea of ​​divine souls, it would be enough to cause you great suffering. You must be careful."

Ye Qi'an nodded in agreement, his gaze falling once more on the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, his eyes filled with determination: "I understand the stakes involved, and I will proceed with caution step by step."

The Wind Dragon King gently swayed his illusory dragon tail, saying with a hint of curiosity and anticipation, "If we can truly integrate this Law of Annihilation, the strength of the nine Dragon Kings will also increase considerably. Ye Qi'an, hurry up and make your move; we will protect you."

"Nine Dragon Kings, let's go together. After all, your dragon souls haven't fully recovered yet."

Upon hearing Ye Qi'an's words, the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.

The Mountain Dragon King said, "The Golden Dragon King is right. Let's work together to refine the dragon soul of this Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon as soon as possible, so that no further changes may occur."

After saying this, the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings each activated their own divine power. In an instant, the sea of ​​divine souls shone brightly, with various colors of light intertwining together, including a heavy, earthy yellow light, a lively, azure light, and a chilling, icy white light. They slowly converged and enveloped the dragon soul of the imprisoned Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.

As the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon sensed this even stronger oppressive force, it struggled more frantically, its painful howls growing ever more piercing. It roared, "You will not succeed! Even if my soul is annihilated, I will not let you have your way!"

However, its resistance seemed so powerless under the dual suppression of the nine dragon kings and Chi You's confinement.

Ye Qi'an dared not slack off in the slightest. He quickly formed more complex hand seals and chanted incantations, fusing his divine power with the spiritual power of the nine dragon kings, transforming it into a vast and powerful force that gradually permeated the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, beginning to decompose and refine the power of the laws of destruction contained within it.

As the refining process progressed, Ye Qi'an could clearly feel the mysterious and powerful force of the law of destruction slowly flowing into his own and the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings. The auras of everyone were also subtly changing, as if they were being nourished and enhanced in this wondrous process. However, the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was constantly weakening, and its purplish-black figure was becoming increasingly dim, but the resentment in its eyes remained intense, and it was still making its final struggle.

With everyone working together, the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon gradually stopped struggling, and the originally intense purplish-black light became extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind.

As the refining process neared its end, Ye Qi'an could truly feel a wondrous resonance between himself and the dragon souls of the nine dragon kings. Their power seemed to be tightly bound together by an invisible bond, and with each breath, the power of the Law of Destruction flowed and merged within their bodies.

Finally, with a dazzling light flashing by, the dragon soul of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was completely refined. The powerful force of the law of destruction surged like a tidal wave within the dragon souls of Ye Qi'an and the nine dragon kings, and their auras instantly rose to a new level.

Ye Qi'an slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with a strange light that was a mixture of dark blue and golden light. A vast and boundless power lay dormant within him, as if it could burst forth at any moment. It should be noted that he himself inherited the destructive power of the Dragon God. The two extreme powers of destruction and annihilation were intertwined and collided within him.
