Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 287 The Return of the Strong

(I'll update with two chapters first. If I finish writing them, I'll continue. If not, I'll update the next two chapters tomorrow afternoon.)

"They're still breathing? You didn't kill them all?"

Xiao Li came to Zi Yan's side. These dragon kings were still alive and had not been completely killed.

Zi Yan glanced at the three-headed dragon king and said with a faint smile, "You've been dividing my Dragon Island for so long, do you want to die? It's not that easy. I will personally send these traitors to my father."

The three Dragon Kings have lost their limbs, but their power has been sealed by the Dragon Emperor's Seal. Now they are just fish on a chopping board.

"Oh~ I see. Well then, I wish you three good luck!" Xiao Li didn't expect Zi Yan to be so ruthless, but this made Xiao Li very interested.

These three dragon kings were once important ministers under Zhukun. Because they possessed a portion of royal blood, they were highly valued by the old dragon emperor. It was precisely because of this royal blood that the three kings suddenly staged a coup and divided up Dragon Island thousands of years after Zhukun's disappearance!

Ultimately, it was because the old Dragon Emperor went to search for the inheritance of the ancient emperor, got caught up in it, and became a gatekeeper dragon. Before the old Dragon Emperor disappeared, he was with his legitimate daughter, which has now led to the loss of even the Dragon Emperor's successor.

These three Dragon Kings did not betray the Dragon Emperor immediately after his disappearance. The old Dragon Emperor had been missing for thousands of years, and batches of powerful Ancient Dragon warriors who went out to search for him died.

Seeing that there was no hope of the old Dragon Emperor returning, and that there were no more Dragon Empress heirs, the three Dragon Kings, who possessed royal blood, would certainly want to compete for the Dragon Emperor's throne.

Zi Yan, the newly appointed Dragon King, did not want to be a cruel Dragon Emperor who made the entire clan tremble with fear.

"Huh? There are more experts?" Xiao Li suddenly looked in a certain direction. Zi Yan was a beat slower than Xiao Li and also noticed that countless auras were about to descend on Dragon Island in the distance.

Zi Yan frowned, but after sensing them, she realized they were all powerful members of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan. With a wave of her hand, the spatial barrier surrounding Donglong Island instantly dissipated.

Boom boom boom—

Countless enormous figures burst through the air, then transformed into human form one by one, each radiating an incomparably powerful aura.

Xiao Li scanned the area; the lowest level here was a Half-Saint! Many of them possessed an aura stronger than his own!

Zi Yan stood in the void, holding the Dragon Emperor's Seal in her right hand and the Dragon Slayer Sword in her left, with dragon and phoenix phantoms swirling behind her.

Zi Yan's own aura emanated from her, and the powerful figures who had returned from the void immediately knelt down. The pressure she exerted left them with no room for resistance whatsoever.

"Dragon Emperor's bloodline! No, it's... Supreme Dragon Phoenix! Dragon-Slaying Sword! Dragon Emperor's Seal! Are you His Highness?"

Among the powerful figures who returned to Donglong Island from the boundless void, the old man kneeling at the very front spoke with immense excitement.

"It really is the Dragon Emperor's Seal! Elder Candlelight said so! It must be His Highness!"

These ancient dragon powerhouses who returned to Dragon Island were all incredibly excited. They had watched helplessly as Dragon Island split apart, all because the Dragon Emperor had disappeared.

Those three rebels possess royal blood. If the Dragon Emperor lineage were truly gone, one of them would indeed have to be chosen as the Dragon Emperor. However, those three are utterly useless, having only reached the three-star Dou Sheng level in their cultivation so far!

The elders also gave up on that idea; they only hoped to find traces of the old Dragon Emperor or his offspring!

These elders, residing in the boundless void, are either protecting Dragon Island or searching for the old Dragon Emperor, which is why East Dragon Island has become the weakest island!

Now that Her Highness the Princess has returned in person with the Dragon Emperor's Seal, and possesses the bloodline of the legendary supreme magical beast, the Dragon Phoenix, and can summon the Dragon Slayer Sword, such talent undoubtedly makes her the only successor to the Dragon Emperor!

Even if the old Dragon Emperor returns, he cannot shake Your Highness's position as Dragon Emperor!

"This old man, Zhu Huo, pays his respects to Your Highness, the Imperial Princess! I humbly request that Your Highness ascend to the throne of the Dragon Emperor!"

The oldest among them, Candlelight, was the first to express his opinion, and the returning Ancient Dragon powerhouse and the other powerhouses from the three islands all knelt down before Zi Yan.

Now, Zi Yan has subdued Dragon Island with absolute power.

Now the Dragon Emperor has reappeared, the rebel king has been executed, and the four islands have been united! Today is the day!

With the downfall of the three Dragon Kings, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, which had been in turmoil for over a thousand years, finally cleared away all obstacles. Under the name of the new Dragon Emperor Zi Yan, there were no more dissents on the four Dragon Islands, and the confidants of the three Dragon Kings quickly defected and immediately pledged allegiance to Zi Yan.

However, Zi Yan naturally kept a handy for these guys with past offenses. She used the Dragon Emperor's Seal to place a restriction on each dragon. Zi Yan needed them to make amends for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!

The ancient dragons of the Void, who were under the influence of the restrictions, kowtowed wildly to Zi Yan, shouting loudly, "Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor is merciful! Long live Your Majesty the Dragon Emperor!"

Indeed, being able to escape with one's life is better than anything else. Logically speaking, the newly enthroned Dragon Emperor could have killed all of them, these rebels, since they were once subordinates of the rebel king!

With the reappearance of the Dragon Emperor in the Ancient Dragon Clan, the four Dragon Islands were integrated under Zi Yan's leadership. The four Dragon Islands, which were floating in the boundless void, were brought together again by the joint efforts of many powerful members of the Ancient Dragon Clan!

From then on, after more than a thousand years, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan was finally unified. From then on, the name of the Four Great Dragon Islands would no longer appear. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had only one ancestral land, which was Ancient Dragon Island!

With the unification of Dragon Island, the new emperor's coronation ceremony began.

All the powerful Ancient Void Dragons in the boundless void have returned, which allowed Xiao Li to see the true strength of the Ancient Void Dragon clan!

Among them, Dragon Emperor Zi Yan's cultivation level is at the early stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. Her cultivation level, combined with the Dragon Emperor Seal and the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Bloodline, is enough to rival the late stage of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm. This is the power of the Dragon Phoenix!

Unfortunately, she is still a long way from becoming a Nine-Star Dou Sheng. With Zi Yan's current cultivation level, consuming a Grade Nine Profound Pill is basically the same as eating candy. It's not that Grade Nine Profound Pills have no effect, but the effect is minimal.

For someone with Zi Yan's cultivation level, the only way to improve her cultivation is to consume a ninth-grade golden pill. However, Xiao Li is confident that if he were to actually refine a ninth-grade golden pill, the pill would be completed one second, and several large hands would arrive the next!

Besides Zi Yan, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has many other powerful members!

The oldest elder, Candlelight, had lived through the reign of the old Dragon Emperor, but during that time, he was still a young dragon.

Zi Yan appointed Zhu Huo as the Grand Elder to assist her, after all, he was a loyal follower of the Dragon Emperor and had a powerful cultivation level. Zhu Huo was a late-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng!

Currently, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan only has these two Eight-Star Dou Sheng.

Besides Zi Yan and Zhu Huo, there are two other powerful individuals whose cultivation has reached the late stage of Seven-Star Dou Sheng, and their seniority is second only to Zhu Huo.

Next up is a powerful expert at the early stage of Seven Star Dou Sheng. This expert is relatively young compared to those old guys, and his name is Zhu Ming.

Besides these powerful figures, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan currently has three six-star Dou Sheng and six five-star Dou Sheng!

There are about twenty strong individuals below the level of Five-Star Dou Sheng!

Compared to the heyday of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, when the old Dragon Emperor was in charge, the current Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is undoubtedly much weaker.

According to Elder Zhu Huo, during the heyday of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, in addition to the Old Dragon Emperor, who was a late-stage Nine-Star Dou Sheng, there were also two Supreme Elders whose cultivation had reached the early stage of Nine-Star Dou Sheng.

Unfortunately, these two Supreme Elders were too old; they were even much older than the Old Dragon Emperor! They passed away one after the other.

Many of these powerful beings who escaped into the boundless void also perished there, either by taking the throne of a dragon, getting lost in the boundless void, or encountering some spatial disaster!

The ancient dragon clan of Taixu is no longer what it once was.
