In the dark void, four enormous islands floated silently in the air.
"Let's go, everyone."
Gazing at Donglong Island not far away, a fierce glint flashed in Zhu Zhi's eyes, but he quickly put on a smiling face and looked at Zhu Si, Zhu Yin, Huang Tian, and Yao Xiaotian standing around him, saying, "This day next year will be the anniversary of the rise of our Beast Domain!"
After saying that, Zhu Zhi rose into the air and flew towards Donglong Island not far away. Following behind him were Zhu Si, who knew that he had no way out, and Zhu Yin, whose eyes were full of desire for battle.
Huang Tian snorted inwardly, not caring that Zhu Zhi hadn't given him, the strongest in the "alliance," a chance to speak. He then glanced at Yao Xiaotian behind him, who was hesitant because the battle was about to begin.
'I really don't know what use these people are.'
After offering a casual assessment, Huang Tian caught up with the three Dragon Kings ahead.
Yao Xiaotian, who saw Huang Tian's disdain for him in his glance but didn't think there was anything wrong with his hesitation, sighed, exchanged a glance with the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan behind him, and took off first to catch up with the others in front.
After the patriarchs of the Ancient Dragon Clan, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, and the Nine Netherworld Python Clan all took to the air, the remaining Dou Sheng powerhouses of the three clans also flew up one by one and followed behind them. Finally, the Dou Zun of the three clans, as well as clan members below Dou Zun and above Dou Zong, also solemnly followed.
Feng Qing'er, standing in the Dou Zong formation of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, was deathly pale. Although she was only an eight-star Dou Zong, she felt that this battle on Donglong Island would be the end of her life, because at this moment she could finally clearly sense the location of the two dragon seals that controlled her life—
Right in the very center of Donglong Island, which is just a stone's throw away!
"Four mid-stage two-star Dou Sheng, one early-stage two-star Dou Sheng, and three mid-level Half-Saints..." Above the central mountain range of Donglong Island, Xiao Yan counted the number of Dou Sheng and Half-Saints on the other three major dragon islands. "Although the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan only has three Dou Sheng besides that patriarch, and one is a mid-stage two-star Dou Sheng and two are mid-stage one-star Dou Sheng... isn't the number of Dou Sheng on these three major dragon islands a bit too small?"
“There are only a few ancient dragons with rebellious intentions,” said Elder Qingmu, the second elder of Donglong Island who had finally broken through the barrier and possessed the strength of a two-star Dou Sheng in the early stage. “If more elders hadn’t chosen to travel to the depths of the void instead of caring about whether there would be a next Dragon Emperor, this playful rebellion would not have happened.”
"Ahem, I've already contacted an elder who's deep in the void," Qingshan coughed twice, trying to save face for the Ancient Dragon Clan. "Elder Zhuyuan, a Seven-Star Dou Sheng, should be able to return to Donglong Island before this civil war ends..."
"If it weren't for Xiao Yan, Sister Little Fairy Doctor, and Qing Lin helping us, what good would it have been if you had made contact?" The one who showed the least respect to the Ancient Dragon Clan was the new Dragon Emperor Zi Yan. She glanced at Qing Shan with disdain, "The earliest you can come back is before the end of the civil war... What are you coming back for? To collect our corpses?"
"As previously agreed, Qingmu, Qingshan, and I will hold off five two-star Dou Sheng, Zhuli will deal with the three mid-level half-saints, and Heiqing will hold off the peak Dou Zun and Transcendent Dou Zun from the three Dragon Islands..." At this point, even the old-fashioned Qi You couldn't save face and quickly changed the subject.
"Qinglin and I will deal with the three Dou Sheng of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix," Little Fairy Doctor continued. "After three minutes, once all the opponents below the Dou Sheng level are poisoned and unconscious, Qinglin will immediately control all the Nine Netherworld Pythons. Then, Xiao Yan will activate the formation to weaken the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. At the same time, two Dou Sheng-level Nine Netherworld Pythons will assist Qinglin and me in killing the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's three Dou Sheng in the shortest possible time..."
"Ziyan and I will try our best to control the pressure on them. Under the influence of the pressure, they can only exert up to 80% of their strength. As long as they are not damaged in the first three minutes, there is only one possibility for this civil war: victory."
As he spoke, Xiao Yan took out the Xuan Heavy Ruler again after a long time. Of course, the Xuan Heavy Ruler, which had been completely reforged with the help of the Dragon-like Technique, was no weaker than the ancient divine artifacts on the Tianxuan Continent, except that it had not developed sentience.
"Of course, Little Fairy Doctor, you and Qinglin still need to deal with those three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes as soon as possible," Xiao Yan said with a smile, looking at the army hovering not far away. "Without activating the Refining Heaven Ancient Formation, it will take me about ten minutes to take down Huang Tian, and right now Zi Yan can only hold off those three traitors."
Although Xiao Yan could only unleash the strength of a late-stage five-star Dou Sheng when he went all out, with the pressure of the Dragon-Phoenix bloodline, Huang Tian could only unleash the strength of a mid-stage five-star Dou Sheng in front of him. Ten minutes was the maximum time Xiao Yan needed to kill Huang Tian, taking into account that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was best at speed and might forcibly stall for time.
"I can handle all three of them!" Zi Yan muttered unwillingly.
"But that Dragon Slayer Sword will consume your life force!" Xiao Yan rubbed Zi Yan's head. "You haven't fully digested the ancient dragon's inheritance yet, so just hold them off!"
"Niece Ziyan, won't you introduce her to us..."
Before Zi Yan could shake off Xiao Yan's hand, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Si, and Zhu Yin had already broken away from the army and advanced some distance towards the location of the group on Donglong Island.
"Introduction? I'll have someone introduce you to your graves after you die!" Zi Yan roared furiously as she charged towards the three dragon kings, wielding her dark gold spear.
"court death!"
Although the pressure from the dragon and phoenix made Zhu Si's body tremble slightly, he still snorted coldly and met the spear that was slashing straight at him with his arm, which had transformed into a dragon claw.
boom!
In the blink of an eye, the dark golden spear, like a roaring, angry dragon, drew a dazzling arc in the void, finally slamming into Zhu Yin's arm, which had transformed into a dragon claw. The terrifying force shattered many of the scales on the dragon claw. Almost the instant the spear made contact with the dragon claw, another figure approached like a ghost, its sharp dragon claws mercilessly grabbing towards Zi Yan's waist.
"Humph!"
Faced with Zhu Yin's sneak attack, Zi Yan narrowed her eyes and with a soft hum, the end of her spear instantly extended like a chain, then bent into a breathtaking arc, before rebounding heavily onto the sharp dragon claw. The powerful force instantly exploded, and Zhu Si and Zhu Zhi were both forced back several steps.
"Ha, as expected of a dragon-phoenix," Zhu Si glanced at his right arm, which was covered in shattered dragon scales, and praised, "To be able to repel both of us at the same time with the strength of a mere one-star Dou Sheng..."
“Indeed, it lives up to its legendary status as a dragon and phoenix,” Zhu Zhi stepped forward. “However, the internal strife within the ancient dragon clan ultimately damages our own strength. Perhaps you, niece Zi Yan, should step back and avert this conflict…”
Although the rest of Donglong Island were also charging towards the three-race alliance while Zi Yan was launching a surprise attack on Zhu Si, after a quick scan of the Donglong Island crowd and discovering that the strongest was still Qing Shan, a mid-stage two-star Dou Sheng, Zhu Zhi simply gave up on catching up with them. Instead, he, along with Zhu Si and Zhu Yin, surrounded Zi Yan. After all, she was, after all, a legendary dragon-phoenix who had reached the third stage. If they weren't careful, they might really die suddenly.
"Ha, do you think that's possible?" Zi Yan sneered.
"Since my niece Ziyan is so stubborn..."
Zhu Zhi's face still held a bright smile, but in an instant, that bright smile turned into terror—
In his perception, a dragon-phoenix aura suddenly appeared among the people of Donglong Island who were close to the three-race allied forces. It was a dragon-phoenix aura that was almost indistinguishable from the pressure emanating from Zi Yan. Moreover, that aura came from a... late-stage five-star Dou Sheng!
"Want to leave? Not so easy!"
The three of them reacted instantly, but Zi Yan noticed them. Almost the instant they tried to escape, a huge phoenix wing, a hundred feet long, unfurled from her back. "Do you think you can still escape now?"
With a flap of its phoenix wings, several spatial turbulences shot straight toward the three dragon kings.
The mere spatial turbulence was naturally no match for the three Dragon Kings, but it was precisely these sudden appearances of several spatial turbulences that made the three Dragon Kings realize that before this new Dragon Emperor lost his power to resist, there was absolutely no way for the three of them to tear open a spatial passage and leave this place. As for speed…
The only creature capable of matching the speed of the Dragon-Phoenix, which evolved from the Ancient Void Dragon, is the Dragon-Phoenix, which evolved from the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix!
"Let's make our move and finish this quickly!" Zhu Zhi said coldly. "Even if that aura is fake, we can only test it after we've dealt with our Dragon Phoenix niece!"
Upon hearing Zhu Zhi's voice, Zhu Si and Zhu Yin nodded firmly. Although they didn't know why a civil war that could have been easily won had taken such a dramatic turn at the very beginning, they had to kill the dragon-phoenix niece in front of them, whether it was to survive or to win the civil war!
Chapter 463 The Fleeting Opportunity
The moment the two armies clashed, Xiao Yan activated all the secret techniques that enhanced his strength, including his clan's insignia. In an instant, the aura of a dragon-phoenix at the late stage of a five-star Dou Sheng caused everyone in the three-clan allied forces, including Huang Tian, to be momentarily stunned.
It was during this moment of stunned silence that Huang Tian was grabbed by the neck and lifted high into the air by Xiao Yan.
After surveying the sphere of flames that enveloped both her and Xiao Yan, which made her heart pound, Huang Tian's gaze finally settled on Xiao Yan: "...Dragon Phoenix?"
“Of course,” Xiao Yan replied with a light laugh, focusing more on the battle that had already begun below, “leaving now might save my life.”
"With your secret method to enhance your strength?" Huang Tian's expression was indifferent, his pair of golden eyes coldly staring at Xiao Yan.
"If you say so, then so be it."
Xiao Yan dealt with it casually. The key to this internal war of the Ancient Dragon Clan was only the first three minutes. Since Huang Tian was willing to stall for time, Xiao Yan didn't care. After all, perhaps only the seven ancient clans on the Dou Qi Continent knew that the secret technique of fusing Dou Qi and soul power could only be forcibly removed when Dou Qi was exhausted.
Xiao Yan's casual attitude finally made Huang Tian realize something was wrong. He immediately stopped talking and a dazzling golden light swept out from behind him. A pair of golden wings, each a hundred feet long, extended from behind Huang Tian. Although the wings were burned to ashes the moment they touched the fireball, it only slightly reduced the length of Huang Tian's wings.
Realizing that the fireball enveloping him was intended to restrict his movement, Huang Tian's eyes turned cold. His enormous golden wings trembled slightly, and he appeared in front of Xiao Yan as if by teleportation. He swung his hand out suddenly, and amidst the surging golden light, it transformed into a dazzling golden claw that fell straight down at Xiao Yan. As the claw descended, the space around Xiao Yan exploded one after another.
"Great Creation Palm!"
Huang Tian's speed was fast, but it seemed too ordinary for a soul power at the Great Perfection of the Heaven Realm. The moment Huang Tian appeared in front of Xiao Yan, before the giant claw could fall, a pitch-black circle of light appeared in Xiao Yan's hand, which was so dark it was chilling. Then, Xiao Yan pressed this black circle of light directly into Huang Tian's abdomen.
Given Xiao Yan's physical strength, Huang Tian's giant claw might not cause him to bleed much, but if Huang Tian were to be struck in the abdomen by this Great Creation Palm, the civil war of the Ancient Dragon Clan would end prematurely.
Sa—
The terrifying Di Huangtian, who could sense the black aura, instantly turned around and retreated far away with an enormous whooshing sound.
Although the reaction was quick, the fact that Huang Tian was missing one of his golden wings and had a huge wound on his abdomen clearly showed that Xiao Yan had the absolute upper hand in this instantaneous confrontation.
"Terrifying fighting technique..." Huang Tian glanced coldly at the wound on his abdomen. Golden light surged, and the half of his abdomen that was missing slowly began to recover.
"Each each other."
Looking at the few strands of hair falling in front of him, Xiao Yan said with a smile that, in his perception, there were still quite a few Dou Zong level ancient dragons, Heavenly Demon Phoenixes and Nine Netherworld Pythons that suddenly lost their focus during the battle and were severely injured. It seems that the three minutes that Little Fairy Doctor mentioned was also the limit.
"Phoenix Step!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's mockery, Huang Tian snorted coldly. Immediately, golden afterimages appeared continuously around Xiao Yan. The dense and fierce fist winds enveloped every part of Xiao Yan's body, and the terrifying fist winds shattered the space around Xiao Yan into fragments.
Bang bang bang bang bang bang——
However, the dense barrage of punches unleashed by the Heavenly Phoenix Clan's proud Phoenix Step was blocked one by one by Xiao Yan's Xuan Heavy Ruler.
Although Xiao Yan was indeed slightly flustered by Huang Tian's speed in the first few seconds, after all, these fist shadows seemed illusory, but once they landed on him, they would instantly turn into reality, which seemed a bit strange and unpredictable, after a few seconds of being flustered, Xiao Yan was able to free up time to deal with these seemingly terrifying but only scratching-like fist winds one by one.
As he parried the barrage of punches, the layers of golden afterimages gradually dissipated in Xiao Yan's vision. In no time, only a figure constantly shifting its position remained in Xiao Yan's field of vision.
'It's almost time...'
While watching Huang Tian, who was constantly shifting positions and seemed to think he had been suppressed, Xiao Yan also noticed that in the battle below, the ancient dragons who did not belong to Donglong Island were falling one after another. Obviously, the time limit mentioned by Little Fairy Doctor had been reached.
boom!
With a single palm strike, Xiao Yan forced Huang Tian, who had appeared to his right, back, causing the golden light and figures to dissipate. At the same time, Xiao Yan suddenly raised his left hand:
"Heaven-Sealing Formation, activate!"
Just as Huang Tian, whose face was filled with astonishment at Xiao Yan breaking through the Demon Phoenix Step in less than a minute, suddenly felt a chill run through her body. The next moment, her strength, which was already reduced to less than 80% due to the pressure of the Dragon Phoenix, was further reduced, and the way it was reduced was so familiar—
"The Phoenix Slaughtering Formation?!" Huang Tian exclaimed, creating distance between herself and Xiao Yan, while calling out a name that was somewhat unfamiliar to Xiao Yan.
"Slaughtering Phoenix?" Xiao Yan looked at Huang Tian in surprise, then quickly realized, "Oh, you mean these nameless formations? It seems that besides living a long life, you also have the advantage of being very lucky. Unfortunately, you won't be so lucky this time. After all, the effects of these formations after my slight adjustments are not as simple as just adding them together!"
Feeling his own strength still dwindling, Huang Tian, who had only participated in one battle between the Ancient Phoenix and the Ancient Dragon and barely survived, knew that the person in front of him was not lying. At least, the "Phoenix Slaughtering Formation" was more about restricting the Ancient Phoenix. Races like the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, which were not well-known, were not worth the Ancient Dragon Clan's serious attention.
'I must live, even if it means burning my life essence!' Looking at Xiao Yan ahead who didn't care about him at all, Huang Tian's face was gloomy as he continuously mobilized the fighting spirit within his body.
As the vast battle qi within Huang Tian's body surged, a faint rumbling sound seemed to emanate from this void space.
"Only now are you thinking about risking your life?" Xiao Yan's lips curled up slightly. "A little late." He raised his right hand slightly, and a colorful fire lotus floated gently above his palm.
'Wait... If Donglong Island is blown up, will Ziyan come after me?' Xiao Yan's expression suddenly turned serious as he was about to unleash the fire lotus he had just fully condensed after devouring more than twenty strange flames.
"The Holy Image of the Demon Phoenix!"
Thinking Xiao Yan was struggling with his next attack, Huang Tian revealed a ferocious smile. The next moment, he roared to the sky, and his body rapidly expanded. A burst of golden light erupted, and a colossal phoenix, thousands of feet long, forcefully crushed the fireball Xiao Yan had initially used to define their battle area, before appearing in the void.
The colossal, sky-covering phoenix attracted considerable attention, with the three Dou Sheng of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan reacting most strongly.
"I never expected you to push the clan leader to this point..." The phoenix, having blocked Little Fairy Doctor's poisonous palm strike, looked up and said, "The battle will be over soon..."
Before he could finish speaking, the arms of Yao Xiaotian, who had been fighting alongside him, and the Great Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python pierced through his chest in an instant. The next moment, Yao Xiaotian pulled out the phoenix's still-beating heart.
"Are you all insane?!" Kunhuang, already somewhat flustered by the sudden appearance of the formation, stared incredulously at Yao Xiaotian, who had extracted the phoenix heart. "Surrender now..."
boom!
His next words were cut short by the sharp claws of Yao Xiaotian, whose eyes now glowed with three green lights.
"Damn it, the Azure Serpent Three-Flower Pupil?!"
The moment Eagle Phoenix saw the obvious green light, he finally understood what had happened, but it was too late. Qing Lin, who had been slightly suppressed by him, flashed away from the battlefield and controlled all the Nine Netherworld Pythons from afar. They frantically attacked the Dou Sheng who did not belong to the East Dragon Island side, completely disregarding the giant snakes that fell down after they died.
End of Chapter 464
'Huang Tian was actually forced to this point?'
As Zhu Zhi was sent flying by Zi Yan's punch, he glanced at the thousands of feet tall demonic phoenix above him and thought to himself that something was wrong. He had been paying close attention to the changes in the battle, from the fainting of all his clansmen below the Dou Sheng level, to the phoenix that was instantly killed by the attack of the two serpents Yao Xiaotian, and then to the ancient dragons of the Dou Sheng level from the three islands that were being forced to retreat due to the suicide attack of the Nine Netherworld Python...
It could be said that their meticulously planned attack had been completely thwarted, but due to Zi Yan's delay, he, Zhu Si, and Zhu Yin had no chance to escape.
