Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

"Na'er, let's go."

As soon as he finished speaking, a crystal slowly appeared on Ye Qi'an's chest, its nine colors swirling and emitting a soft halo.

"Is this the Heart of the Dragon God?" Gu Yuena asked, staring at the crystal, her body instinctively wanting to devour it.

"That's right, this is the Heart of the Dragon God, which is the final test we will face. The specific nature of the test is unknown, but I guess it will most likely be a battle with the Dragon God from back then," Ye Qi'an said in a deep voice.

Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "A battle against the Dragon God? That's no easy task. Even if it's just a trial formed from the Dragon God's heart, it will surely be fraught with danger."

"Is it a transformation? That's not necessarily true. It might even be the original body," Ye Qi'an said, shaking his head.

A hint of seriousness flashed across Gu Yuena's eyes. "If it really is the Dragon God in its true form, then our chances of winning are extremely slim."

"We'll find out after we fight. Let's go," Ye Qi'an said with a smile.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, and the next moment she and Ye Qi'an each stretched out a hand and placed it on the Heart of the Dragon God. The instant their hands touched the Heart of the Dragon God, the nine-colored halo suddenly shone brightly, enveloping the two of them.

The surrounding scenery changed instantly, as if they had entered a time tunnel. Amidst the flashes of light, they found themselves directly in a chaotic void.

In the void, an even more vast and powerful pressure surged forth like a tidal wave, making Ye Qi'an and Gu Yuena feel breathless. In the endless depths of chaos, the Dragon God's majestic true form slowly appeared, each dragon scale shimmering with mysterious light, its eyes seemingly containing the cosmos, and with just a glance, a tangible force seemed to strike.

"Damn, was this Dragon God really killed by that traitor Asura God?" Ye Qi'an couldn't help but complain.

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Ye Qi'an and said reproachfully, "At a time like this, you still have the mind to joke around. Think about how to deal with the current predicament first."

Ye Qi'an chuckled, but there was a hint of nervousness in his smile. "I was just expressing my feelings, but if the Asura God can do it, then we might be able to as well."

When the Dragon God heard Ye Qi'an say this, he was quite helpless. After all, Ye Qi'an was right. However, if he hadn't been willing back then, a mere Asura God really wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.

"Little one, you've arrived," the Dragon God said, looking at Ye Qi'an.

"I'm here! Not only am I here, but I'm also going to completely defeat you and seize the throne of the Dragon God!" Ye Qi'an shouted, his eyes showing no fear whatsoever.

The Dragon God was not angry when he heard Ye Qi'an's words. Instead, he let out a low laugh that echoed in the chaotic void, making the surrounding space buzz.

"Good lad, you do have some arrogance. Your guess was right. The final test is to defeat me, but it can only be you."

"Understood," Ye Qi'an nodded slightly.

"You don't seem surprised?" the Dragon God said.

Ye Qi'an shrugged and said calmly, "What's the use of being surprised? Since it's a test, you can set the rules. No matter what, I will do my best to deal with it."

A hint of approval flashed in the Dragon God's eyes. "It's good to have this mindset, but talking about it won't do. If you want to defeat me, you'll have to show your true skills."

"While my Golden Dragon King bloodline and formidable strength originate from you, I am also Ye Qi'an of the Jiuli tribe, bearing the bloodline of Chi You, the God of War and one of the Three Ancestors. I believe I am no weaker than anyone else, including you!"

As Ye Qi'an spoke, the Dragon King's Divine Armor, the Supreme Artifact Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Death Scythe, and the Supreme Artifact World-Destroying Eye all appeared. Behind him, a towering red figure carrying an ancient aura quietly emerged.

Upon seeing the towering red figure, the Dragon God couldn't help but take a deep breath. Even though it was just a phantom, the aura emanating from it dispelled his oppressive aura.

"Not bad, that's quite unexpected. But the position of Dragon God isn't something you can just take as you please. Come here!" The Dragon God nodded slightly and raised his hand towards Gu Yuena. The Dragon God Spear, which had been fused with the Heavenly Saint Rift Abyss Halberd, the supreme artifact Dragon God Rift Abyss Halberd, immediately came into his hand.

"Na'er, stay away. Wait until I seize the position of Dragon God." Ye Qi'an shouted at Gu Yuena, then his gaze returned to the Dragon God.

Gu Yuena nodded and quickly retreated, keeping a watchful eye on the situation as she went.

"Nine Heavens Dragon's Roar, Death Scythe Form!"

Ye Qi'an let out a low shout, and the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Sword, which was originally radiating golden light, instantly changed its form, transforming into a huge death scythe that exuded a chilling light and a dense aura of death. Black soul power flowed on the scythe blade, as if it could harvest all life in this chaotic void.

"The battle has begun! The abyss is torn apart!"

With Ye Qi'an's shout, the enormous Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Death Scythe was swung violently, and a great black light shone on the blade before it slashed fiercely down into the void in front of it.

In an instant, the chaotic void seemed to be pulled by a powerful force, and a huge black rift suddenly appeared. Within this rift, endless abyssal power seemed to surge, spreading towards the location of the Dragon God, as if to devour the Dragon God entirely into that dark abyss.

The Dragon God's expression hardened, and he stomped his feet on the void, causing his entire dragon body to soar into the air, avoiding the spreading abyss rift. At the same time, he thrust the Dragon God Abyss-Splitting Halberd in his hand fiercely towards the rift, and a nine-colored divine power burst from the tip of the halberd, like a dazzling arrow of light, straight into the abyss rift.

With a deafening roar, divine power and abyssal power collided and tore at each other, and powerful energy fluctuations spread wildly outwards from the two as the center, causing the surrounding chaotic energy to surge and roll like a raging sea.

Ye Qi'an pressed his advantage, manipulating the Eye of Annihilation to unleash several more beams of destructive light. The beams intertwined and converged, forming a massive net of light that enveloped the Dragon God. The net of light shimmered with destructive power, and wherever it passed, the space was corroded into tiny black holes, demonstrating its astonishing power.

The Dragon God remained calm and composed. With a flick of his tail, he unleashed a surge of immense divine power, sweeping it towards the net of light and shattering it completely. Then, he flashed and instantly appeared above Ye Qi'an's head. Raising his Dragon God Abyss-Splitting Halberd high, he brought it down with a world-destroying force, as if to obliterate Ye Qi'an from the chaotic void. The power of this attack was terrifying.

Ye Qi'an's eyes narrowed, and he hurriedly raised the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Death Scythe to defend himself. At the same time, the towering red figure behind him stretched out his large hand and unleashed a powerful ancient force towards the direction of the Dragon God.

The ancient power surged towards the Dragon God like a raging tide, colliding violently with the world-destroying power carried by the Dragon God's Abyss-Splitting Halberd.

With a deafening roar, as if the chaos had just begun, a blinding light erupted in the void. A powerful shockwave of energy swept outwards in a ring, raging wildly in all directions. The surrounding chaotic energy was thrown into disarray, and countless crisscrossing cracks appeared in the space, as if this void was about to collapse under the violent collision.

Ye Qi'an's arm went numb from the recoil, and he was sent flying backward uncontrollably a long way before he could barely regain his balance. "It's so exhilarating to fight against a strong opponent!"

After Ye Qi'an steadied himself, there was no fear on his face, but rather excitement and determination, and his fighting spirit burned even brighter.

The Dragon God raised an eyebrow at his appearance. "Kid, you still think it's fun at a time like this? It's good to have guts, but I'm afraid you won't have the confidence later."

As he spoke, the Dragon God launched another attack. He circled in the air, his dragon scales shining brightly. Each scale seemed to transform into an energy source, continuously gathering power towards the Dragon God's Abyss-Splitting Halberd. In an instant, the nine-colored light on the Dragon God's Abyss-Splitting Halberd shone to its fullest extent, as if it would dye the chaotic void with a magnificent nine colors.

The Dragon God gripped the Dragon God Abyss Splitting Halberd tightly with both hands and swung it fiercely towards Ye Qi'an's location. A huge nine-colored halberd beam, like a roaring beast, rushed towards Ye Qi'an with world-destroying power. Wherever it passed, the existing spatial rifts were further torn apart and expanded, and the chaotic energy was stirred into huge vortexes. The entire void seemed to be plunged into an apocalyptic scene.

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath, his soul power surging wildly within him, and the Dragon King Divine Armor on his body shone even brighter. He gripped the Nine Heavens Dragon Roar Death Scythe with both hands and swung it fiercely forward. A black divine power blade roared out, and wisps of red ancient aura were wrapped around this divine power blade. It was the power of the red figure behind him that was amplified. It collided with the nine-colored halberd light with a thunderous crash.

With a deafening roar, the light erupting from the point of collision was even more dazzling than before. The powerful energy shock spread outwards once again, causing the entire chaotic void to shake violently, as if it were about to shatter and collapse completely in the next second.

Ye Qi'an gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the terrifying impact. His feet kept retreating in the void, but he managed to stabilize his body in the violent energy wave and was not knocked away again.

"The Snow Emperor arrives! The Imperial Sword, Ice Extreme, Unrivaled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Xue Di appeared beside Ye Qi'an. Her eyes were still so clear and deep blue. Her stunning figure instantly merged with Ye Qi'an, and a deep blue longsword that seemed to be formed from ice crystals appeared out of thin air in Ye Qi'an's hand.

Ye Qi'an grasped the Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unparalleled, and immediately felt a chilling power flow through the sword into his body, merging with his soul power and bloodline power, causing his aura to rise once again.

The icy blue light emanating from the sword grew even more dazzling, as if it could freeze the chaotic void. Wisps of cold air spread outwards, and wherever it passed, the chaotic energy was stained with a layer of crystalline white frost.

Ye Qi'an shouted and charged towards the Dragon God like lightning. He swung out the Emperor Sword Ice Extreme Unparalleled in his hand. In an instant, ice-blue blades flew towards the Dragon God like snowflakes. These blades seemed light and beautiful, but each one contained terrifying cold power and sharp cutting power. Wherever they passed, the space was instantly frozen with ice marks, and then cracked, as if it would shatter at any moment.

The Dragon God dared not be careless. He twisted his dragon body and nimbly dodged many sword blades, but a few still grazed his dragon scales, leaving shallow white ice marks on the incredibly hard scales. A chill seeped into the Dragon God's body along the dragon scales, slowing his movements slightly.

The Dragon God snorted coldly and spewed out a scorching dragon breath. Wherever the dragon breath passed, the icy blue sword blades were instantly melted, turning into wisps of white vapor that drifted into the chaotic void. Then, the Dragon God swung the Dragon God Abyss-Splitting Halberd, with nine-colored light flowing across its body, transforming into dazzling arcs of light that retaliated against Ye Qi'an. The arcs of light carried immense divine power, cutting through space and roaring toward Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an's eyes sharpened, and he manipulated the Emperor Sword Ice Extreme Peerless to swing rapidly in front of him, forming an ice-blue light screen in an attempt to block the attacks of those light arcs.

A series of crisp clanging sounds rang out as the light screen and light arc collided continuously, scattering bursts of light and ice shards.

"Spatial folding billions of times!"

As Ye Qi'an shouted, the spatial dragon king around him surged with spatial power, and a strange fluctuation appeared on the ice-blue light screen, as if space began to distort in an unimaginable way.

In an instant, the space around Ye Qi'an seemed to be repeatedly kneaded and folded by an invisible hand, with spatial folds appearing rapidly and overlapping continuously. In the blink of an eye, it had indeed been folded a hundred billion times.

The spatial folds generated a powerful suction force. The dazzling arcs of light that rushed towards Ye Qi'an, originally carrying immense divine power, now seemed to be stuck in quagmire, their speed drastically reduced. Some were even distorted in their trajectories by the folded space, veering off in other directions. Other arcs of light, though still heading towards Ye Qi'an, had their divine power gradually eroded as they passed through the layers of folded space, their power greatly diminished.

"You seem to have mastered the power of the Space Dragon King quite skillfully!" The Dragon God looked at Ye Qi'an as he unleashed this powerful technique of spatial folding, a hint of surprise and admiration flashing in his eyes, but he still refused to show weakness.

Ye Qi'an grinned and replied, "Of course. I am determined to obtain the position of Dragon God today, and I will not let go of any force that can help me."

Having said that, taking advantage of the moment when the arc of light was affected by the spatial distortion, he swung the Emperor Sword Ice Extreme Peerless in his hand again. This time, it was not a simple swing of the blade, but rather the ice-blue light on the blade shone brightly, condensing into several huge ice dragons.

These ice dragons were incredibly lifelike, with every scale clearly visible. They emanated an extreme chill as they roared toward the Dragon God, freezing long paths of ice in their wake, as if trying to transform the chaotic void into an icy domain. The ice dragons bared their fangs and claws, unleashing powerful impact and freezing force as they attacked the Dragon God's vital points, intending to inflict substantial damage.

The Dragon God frowned, sensing the threat posed by the ice dragon. He no longer insisted on using the Dragon God Splitting Abyss Halberd to break through the spatial folds. Instead, his dragon body trembled, and a surge of immense heat energy erupted from his body. This heat energy merged with his divine power, instantly transforming into rings of flame that spread outwards.

Wherever the flames passed, the ice on the ice dragons began to melt rapidly, making a "sizzling" sound, and white water vapor filled the void.

Although the ice dragon was melting, it continued to charge towards the Dragon God with its powerful strength. Just as it was about to collide with the Dragon God, the Dragon God's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in an instant. The next second, it appeared behind Ye Qi'an and stabbed the Dragon God's Abyss Splitting Halberd fiercely towards Ye Qi'an's back. The speed was extremely fast, and the nine-colored light on the tip of the halberd flashed, as if it was about to pierce through Ye Qi'an's body.

"The Power of the Time Dragon King—Time Reversal!"

The next moment, a mysterious and powerful force of time burst forth from Ye Qi'an. Centered on him, the surrounding space seemed to be tinged with a faint halo, and the flow of time began to become disordered.

The Dragon God's Abyss Splitting Halberd, which was originally aimed at Ye Qi'an's back, suddenly slowed down under the influence of the time reversal. The nine-colored light that was originally flashing at the tip of the halberd also seemed to be slowed down, flickering slowly. The whole scene seemed to be frozen in this moment, and the Dragon God's extremely swift attack was forcibly slowed down.

Seizing this rare opportunity, Ye Qi'an flashed away, instantly creating distance between himself and the Dragon God. At the same time, he swung his Emperor Sword, Ice Extreme Unparalleled, fiercely towards the direction of the Dragon God. The ice dragons that had not yet completely melted seemed to receive a new boost, their speed suddenly increasing as they charged towards the Dragon God once more, their icy aura intensifying.

The Dragon God frowned. He hadn't expected Ye Qi'an to be able to control the power of time, and to use it so skillfully. He hurriedly circulated his own divine power, trying to break free from the restraint of this time reversal. His dragon scales flashed, and as his dragon body twisted, he finally broke free from the time power's restriction on his movements. But at this moment, the ice dragon was already within reach.

The Dragon God dared not be careless and let out a deafening dragon roar. The sound waves spread outwards as if they were tangible. The ice dragons that rushed in were shaken slightly by the impact of the dragon roar, and fine cracks appeared on the ice.

But the ice dragon remained undeterred and continued to pounce on the dragon god. The dragon god wielded the Dragon God Abyss Splitting Halberd, its nine-colored light shining brightly as it swiftly slashed at the ice dragon. Each slash carried earth-shattering power, colliding with the ice dragon and producing deafening roars. Ice shards and light flew everywhere, and the entire chaotic void was once again thrown into turmoil by this fierce clash.
