Within the shattered void, a terrifying storm tore everything apart.
At this moment, all the fighting on Donglong Island had stopped simultaneously, and everyone was staring intently at the storm, seemingly waiting for the final outcome.
Of course, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan was an exception, because they had already been almost wiped out by the Nine Netherworld Python Clan led by Qing Lin...
In a civil war among the dragons, if we disregard the three dragon kings who were destined to die, the Heavenly Phoenix, a race that was originally unrelated, became the biggest loser. If Huang Tian knew this, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
In the void, Ye Chen's eyes flickered as he watched the energy storm, thinking to himself, "Although the Heavenly Dragon's Wrath is extremely powerful, the Ancient Void Dragon's body is also incredibly strong. Add to that the fact that these two are both exceptionally powerful, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to kill them..."
Of course, if you can't kill it the first time, you can try again!
Just as Ye Chen had this thought...
Roar! "
The enormous energy in the distance suddenly trembled violently, and its rotation speed gradually slowed down. Then, a dragon's roar filled with frenzied killing intent burst forth.
You dare yell at me?
Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, then his hands formed a welcoming gesture, and in an instant, seven shimmering hand seals were formed.
"Smash the Heavenly Dragon Seal!"
Instead of unleashing the more powerful Seven Seals stacked together, he used seven hand seals of different attributes to slam them down repeatedly on the two figures in the energy storm...
"Hooho..."
In an instant, the energy storm, which had not yet subsided, surged up again.
The originally frenzied and violent dragon roar quickly turned into a painful scream, and in the end even the voice became a little weaker.
Clearly, even the two Dragon Kings, with their formidable defenses, were struggling to withstand Ye Chen's relentless and unrestrained barrage of attacks...
Those watching this scene couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their eyes, and even the powerful figures from the two Dragon Islands began to feel sorry for their Dragon Kings.
This is absolutely insane!
Each of these fighting techniques appeared to possess the power of a high-level Heavenly Rank, yet the opponent unleashed them as if scattering beans, without even needing to catch his breath…
Let alone the two Dragon Kings whose cultivation is inferior to the other side, even those five-star or six-star Dou Sheng would probably be smashed into mincemeat!
"Does he have an inexhaustible supply of battle energy?"
Finally, seeing that Ye Chen still showed no sign of stopping, Elder Lieshan of Nanlong Island couldn't help but blurt out his doubts.
"How the hell should I know... I just surrendered too!"
Beside him, the Grand Elder of North Dragon Island, Bing Xuan, who was originally his opponent, twitched the corner of his mouth, but in the end, he didn't say those words.
At the same time, Ye Chen's attacks in the sky finally gradually subsided.
This brought a long sigh of relief to everyone below. If he had continued to smash it, they would have begun to doubt just how much fighting spirit this person possessed...
Of course, Ye Chen stopped not because he was too exhausted, but because the screams that could be heard in the storm had completely disappeared.
Ye Chen checked his Star Essence Chart attributes and found that his original nearly 30,000 Star Essence Points had now dwindled to just over 10,000...
That is
He claimed that he used over 20,000 Star Essence Points to blast two three-star Dou Sheng Dragon Kings to death!
Even though he had this idea in his mind for a long time, Ye Chen was still a little surprised when it actually came true.
If I had enough Star Essence Points to support me, could I just rush into the Soul Clan's Soul Palace and smash them all to death?
Based on Soul Extinction's cultivation level, Ye Chen felt that the opponent was very likely unable to withstand his skill's devastating attack...
However, the drawback of this approach is also obvious: if the other party is determined to leave, you cannot stop them.
Only by launching a surprise attack like today, first depriving the opponent of the initiative and leaving them no chance to escape, can the effect be maximized.
……
……
After the storm subsided, Ye Chen appeared on Donglong Island, carrying two objects in each hand, amidst the expectant gazes of everyone.
Upon seeing the two mangled corpses in Ye Chen's hands, everyone from Dragon Island gasped in shock...
Holy crap, they smashed the body to pieces! How could they be so brutal?!
Zi Yan flashed over from a distance, glanced at the two shapeless objects that Ye Chen was holding with complicated eyes, and then let out a soft sigh.
After so many years of internal strife, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan had already been largely destroyed. The disappearance of the Dragon Emperor had a tremendous impact on the clan.
"Don't overthink it. After all, the strength of the three Dragon Islands has been completely preserved. Now that the three Dragon Kings are dead, the unification of the Dragon Clan is a foregone conclusion. They just need to rest and recuperate for a while. The Ancient Void Dragons will still be one of the most powerful races in the entire Dou Qi Continent."
Seeing Zi Yan's disappointed look, Ye Chen smiled and gently comforted her.
Compared to the original story where most of North Dragon Island was swallowed up by the North Dragon King's Dragon Transformation Demon Array, the current ending for the Ancient Void Dragon is the best possible solution...
Although Ye Chen's words made Zi Yan feel a little better, she still sighed softly in her heart.
She had learned about the power of the Ancient Dragon of the Void from Zhu Li and others. You must know that during the heyday of the Ancient Dragon Clan, it was a super power comparable to the Soul Clan and the Ancient Dragon Clan.
But looking at the present, the clan's strong members are either dead or scattered. Relying solely on her, a lone Dragon Emperor, it's difficult to maintain the overall situation. As for restoring the clan to its former glory, who knows when that will be?
"Hehe, don't be discouraged. You have the legendary Dragon-Phoenix Physique. Given enough time, your achievements will surpass those of all previous Dragon Emperors. Restoring your former glory will be a piece of cake." Ye Chen put away the two corpses, patted Zi Yan's head, and laughed.
These words cheered Zi Yan up considerably. She looked up at Ye Chen and smiled, "Big brother, I really have to thank you this time. Otherwise, let alone unifying the Dragon Clan, I might have been tricked by these three guys..."
"Let's skip the formalities between us. Let's settle things down first. As the Dragon Emperor, all the dragons are waiting for you..."
Ye Chen smiled gently and gestured to Zi Yan.
Zi Yan glanced at the dragons below. As the victors, all the warriors of East Dragon Island were already cheering, and many of the older generation of dragon warriors were even in tears...
Their long-cherished wish was finally fulfilled, making them feel as if they were in a dream.
Meanwhile, the losers from West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island were all bewildered. Even Lie Shan and Zhu Mu, the two most prestigious people besides the two Dragon Kings, were at a loss.
Chapter 483 Refining Puppets (Congratulations to JDG for their sweeping advancement!)
With the fall of the three Dragon Kings, the ancient dragon clan of Taixu, which had been divided for thousands of years, finally cleared away all obstacles. Under the name of the Dragon Emperor Ziyan, the four dragon islands were once again unified.
The four dragon islands, which were originally floating in the void, were brought together once again by the combined efforts of many powerful members of the ancient dragon clan...
From then on, the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan could finally be considered truly unified. In the future, there would no longer be the so-called Four Dragon Islands, but only one Ancient Dragon Island!
Of course, all of this was handled personally by Zi Yan, the Dragon Emperor, while Ye Chen had Qing Lin lead the Nine Netherworld Python Clan back to the underground world first to continue protecting Cai Die.
As for himself, he found a place to refine the three dragon king corpses in his possession, making final preparations for the impending descent of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...
In the void, Ye Chen sat cross-legged.
Before him, the enormous Star Cauldron floated, shimmering with silver light.
Various colorful rare ores and divine iron surrounded him, making Ye Chen appear even more colorful.
Such exceptional bodies as those of the three Dragon Kings are something one can only dream of, and naturally, he would need the best materials to be worthy of them.
Of course, this refining process was not as simple as that of the Heavenly Demon Puppet, because that would be too wasteful and would not bring out the full power of the three Dragon Kings' bodies. Therefore, Ye Chen planned to improve it according to his own ideas and then try it out first with the corpse of the Northern Dragon King.
After checking that all the necessary materials were complete, Ye Chen waved his hand and released the body of the Northern Dragon King...
The Northern Dragon King's eyes were now closed, his face was ashen, and he was devoid of life. However, his body was still in a tense state, and even if you cut him with a knife, you could not make a mark.
Because the Northern Dragon King died after his soul was destroyed by Ye Chen, Ye Chen had to create a soul clone to merge into the puppet's body in order to achieve the desired effect.
Of course, this was an easy task for Ye Chen, who was now at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.
After all, Ye Chen is now able to completely separate a soul body that is comparable to his original body and allow it to exist for a long time...
Ye Chen raised his hand and released a purple-brown starfire, raising the temperature of the Star Cauldron. Then, just like refining pills, Ye Chen directly threw the body of the Northern Dragon King into the cauldron.
The reason for using the Star Cauldron was that Ye Chen wanted to rely on its ability to condense star power to increase his success rate. After all, this was his first attempt, and it was only natural to be cautious.
"Squeak..."
As soon as the Northern Dragon King's body entered the Star Cauldron, a hissing sound erupted from its skin, and streaks of blood kept overflowing out, eventually turning into nothingness by the high temperature.
Despite this, Ye Chen's expression remained calm. He had refined many Heavenly Demon Puppets before, and he was already extremely familiar with the first step of the tempering process.
After being tempered by the strange fire, Ye Chen clearly felt that the body of the Northern Dragon King had become increasingly powerful. Once it was fully refined, the Dragon King puppet would probably be able to withstand the attack of a five-star Dou Sheng in terms of defense alone.
This first step of tempering seemed simple, but it took Ye Chen a full half month...
For the past ten days or so, Ye Chen has been using his strange fire to quench the Northern Dragon almost without stopping.
The king's body, after being tempered for ten days, the Northern Dragon King's originally tall body appeared to have shrunk considerably, and his whole body appeared slender.
Looking at his masterpiece of the past ten days, its jet-black, iron-like body gave people a sense of being indestructible yet as hard as diamond...
All of the Dragon King's essence blood has been refined and incorporated into the flesh and bones of this body, making the Northern Dragon King's corpse a perfect killing machine!
Of course, if that were all, it wouldn't be considered a perfect puppet.
A perfect puppet must not only be as strong as metal and immune to pain, but also possess extensive combat experience and killing skills!
However, puppets are usually controlled by their masters. If left unattended, even the most powerful puppet will appear somewhat rigid...
However, this kind of puppet is far from perfect.
Therefore, to solve this problem, the puppet must first possess a suitable amount of intelligence, or rather, combat experience.
The three Dragon Kings were all seasoned veterans, so they naturally had no shortage of combat experience.
However, the Northern Dragon King was unlucky and had his soul destroyed by Ye Chen, so Ye Chen thought of using his own soul power to replace it, which would make it easier for Ye Chen to control.
Of course, the only downside to doing this is that Ye Chen himself doesn't have much combat experience; his fighting style relies more on overwhelming force and skill...
As his soul power merged into the puppet's mind, a lively light gradually emerged in the eyes of the previously empty Northern Dragon King's body.
However, being a puppet after all, the eyes of the Northern Dragon King's body shone with a cold, metallic luster, which set off the black iron-like color of his body, making him extremely intimidating!
At the same time, Ye Chen closed his eyes slightly, and then his gaze instantly shifted to the Northern Dragon King puppet. He tried to move it a bit and found that the body was not as stiff as it appeared, but rather unusually flexible...
Having regained his composure, Ye Chen looked at the still conscious Northern Dragon King puppet and the smile on his lips gradually widened.
"The experiment was a success!"
"Now we can refine the remaining two..."
In fact, Ye Chen gained more than just the bodies of the three Dragon Kings in this battle. The Heavenly Demon Phoenixes, who were wiped out, also became his spoils of war. Even the phoenix that had undergone rebirth did not escape.
However, Ye Chen did not intend to refine these Heavenly Demon Phoenixes into puppets; instead, he planned to dismember them and use them as raw materials...
To be honest, the body of the Ancient Dragon of the Void is obviously more valuable, but given my relationship with Zi Yan, it's really not as good as treating the Three Dragon Kings as I treated the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
After all, the people of the three Dragon Islands wouldn't agree to their former king being skinned alive and dismembered...
As for turning them into puppets, that goes without saying, since it would preserve their bodies intact. Moreover, given the crimes committed by the three, it would be absolutely impossible for them to be buried in the Dragon Tomb after death. This is why many powerful figures did not object to Zi Yan handing over the corpses of the three Dragon Kings to Ye Chen.
A month later, Ye Chen successfully crafted all three puppets, and he even gave them the code names "Dragon One," "Dragon Two," and "Dragon Three."
However, this still didn't reach the most powerful state in Ye Chen's mind, so he directly brought the three puppets to the Void Thunder Pool...
Chapter 484 Devouring the Black Demon Lightning
"Boom!"
In the pitch-black void, a series of low rumbles of thunder suddenly echoed from afar. Shifting one's gaze, one could see that at the end of the darkness, a brilliant silver light shone, and a massive bolt of lightning roared wildly like a giant dragon.
Although he had seen such a scene before, Ye Chen was still shocked when he saw it again.
Looking at the void thunder pool surging wildly with lightning, Ye Chen smiled faintly and took the lead in flying in. Behind him, the three dark figures of Long Yi, Er, and San followed closely.
With Ye Chen's current strength, the silver lightning snakes outside could no longer affect him, so he entered the Void Lightning Pool very quickly this time. In just a moment, he had already passed the outer edge of the Lightning Pool and entered the boundary of the Black Demon Lightning region...
Seeing the black lightning mixed with thunder before him, Ye Chen couldn't help but stop in his tracks. It was here that he had felt deeply threatened, which was why he had chosen to retreat.
At this moment, although the Black Demon Lightning was still terrifying, Ye Chen no longer felt that sense of crisis.
Staring at the swarms of black lightning that slowly wriggled like a dark dragon in front of him, Ye Chen slowly exhaled, a hint of joy appearing on his face. If he could absorb this lightning power, his puppet would surely reach perfection, and he would then have another powerful trump card!
Rumble!
The instant Ye Chen stepped across the boundary, a black lightning snake shot directly onto the top of his head...
hiss……
Ye Chen felt a sharp pain in his forehead, his whole body shuddered, and then he felt a little dizzy. His originally flowing long hair suddenly stood on end, making him look like a Super Saiyan.
"Damn, they gave me a real shock as soon as I arrived..."
