However, Ye Chen then said with some reproach, "Why didn't you tell me about your declaration of war against the three Dragon Islands? Did you look down on your elder brother's strength?"
Zi Yan shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, no, I'm confident in unifying Dragon Island, so there's no need for you to take action, brother."
At this moment, Elder Zhuli, who was familiar with Ye Chen, also smiled and said, "That's right. President Ye may not know, but after His Majesty the Dragon Emperor fully digested the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, his strength has greatly increased, reaching the late stage of the Four-Star Dou Sheng level, far surpassing the three Dragon Kings. In addition, he has recalled some powerful individuals who were cultivating in the void, so the strength of our Eastern Dragon Island now surpasses that of any of the three Dragon Islands..."
"Moreover, unifying the dragon race is an internal matter of the Primordial Ancient Dragon Clan, and also His Majesty the Dragon Emperor's responsibility..."
Ye Chen nodded slightly; he had actually thought of that as well.
Given the pride of the Ancient Dragon Clan, they wouldn't easily allow outsiders to interfere in such matters...
"Hehe, I understand what Elder Zhuli said. However, while you don't want outsiders to interfere in the Dragon Clan's internal affairs, others don't think so!"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the powerful figures from Donglong Island present all changed.
Zi Yan's pretty face also showed some seriousness as she asked, "Big brother, have you received any news?"
Ye Chen nodded, then said, "Let's go inside and talk..."
Led by Zi Yan, the group arrived at the Dragon Emperor's Palace.
Looking at Zi Yan, who sat high on the throne, exuding boundless majesty and grace, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion.
It seems that the cute and playful little girl from before is really leaving me...
"I've received word that, in order to counter Zi Yan's ambition to unify the dragon race, the three major dragon islands have now united..."
Ye Chen slowly recounted the information he had obtained from Qing Lin.
"Moreover, in addition to their own alliance, the three Dragon Islands also sent people to seek external assistance..."
"West Dragon Island sought out the Nine Netherworld Python, North Dragon Island sought out the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, and South Dragon Island invited some powerful figures from hidden beast realms."
This news clearly caught everyone on Donglong Island off guard.
After all, they could have imagined the alliance of the three Dragon Islands; otherwise, the Eastern Dragon Island, which now possesses the Dragon Emperor, would have been able to crush any one of them.
To the elders' surprise, they had invited outsiders to intervene, even including the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, a being practically an enemy of the Ancient Void Dragon...
"These bastards have completely abandoned their dignity as dragons!" an old man in gray robes with white hair and beard couldn't help but shout angrily.
This person is one of the powerful Ancient Dragons who returned from the void. His strength has reached the level of a one-star Dou Sheng, which is comparable to the strength of the Second Elder of Donglong Island who came out of seclusion.
Besides these two, Elder Qingmu of Donglong Island has also broken through his cultivation. He is an old dragon in the mid-stage of a two-star Dou Sheng, and his combat power is stronger than some three-star Dou Sheng.
Ye Chen listened as many hot-tempered old dragons in the hall angrily cursed the disgraceful behavior of the three major dragon islands, and then continued, "The three major dragon islands have decided to gather at the North Dragon Island in seven days, and then they will combine all their forces to attack the East Dragon Island..."
"If we want to dismantle them, we must strike first before they fully assemble!"
This statement was agreed upon by everyone present, including Elder Aoki.
However, Elder Zhuli suddenly spoke up: "Then why don't we send out our strongest warriors in advance to repel the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python who are coming to Dragon Island, and eliminate some of the three Dragon Islands' helpers..."
Everyone's eyes lit up immediately; they felt this was a good method.
After all, whether it's the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, the Nine Netherworld Python, or any other powerful magical beast, they are all no match for these old dragons. They only need to send people to intercept them in advance, and they will surely make these guys suffer a great loss!
Ye Chen shook his head slightly at this...
After Zi Yan, who was on the throne, noticed this scene, she stopped the others from discussing it. Then she looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Big brother, what are your thoughts?"
Ye Chen didn't hold back, saying directly, "These methods are ultimately just treating the symptoms, not the root cause. In my opinion, since we received the news in advance, we've already gained the upper hand..."
"Then we might as well be ruthless and directly attack one of the three Dragon Islands. If we can subdue one of the three Dragon Islands, then no matter how many other reinforcements come, they will be useless!"
Chapter 476 Target
After considering Ye Chen's suggestion, many of the powerful figures from Donglong Island present also agreed that it was a good idea.
However, there is some disagreement on which of the three Dragon Kings to choose.
"Among the three Dragon Islands, the Southern Dragon Island is the weakest, originally only about the same strength as our Eastern Dragon Island. Given our current strength, we should take them as our target," suggested Elder Zhuli, who was originally in charge of the Eastern Dragon Island.
This can be considered a wise and prudent statement, after all, it's a truth that everyone understands: pick on the weak.
However, some people think differently.
"No! It is precisely because the Southern Dragon Island is the weakest of the three Dragon Islands that we should not start with them. In any case, with our current strength, we have a high chance of taking down any of the three Dragon Islands in one fell swoop. So why not choose the strongest one and then use our victory to coerce the other two into submission?"
The speaker was a powerful member of the Ancient Dragon Clan who had returned from the void. Clearly, although he revered Zi Yan as the Dragon Empress and hoped that the Dragon Clan could be unified, he still did not want to cause too much bloodshed.
Ultimately, we are all one family. If it weren't for the three Dragon Kings' ambitions, no one else would have dared to defy Zi Yan, who is of Dragon Emperor blood.
"Hmph! I think we should start with the Northern Dragon King... That guy is a sly old fox. He was one of the reasons that the dragon clan split up back then."
Yes, this person clearly dislikes the Northern Dragon King, who is like a "smiling tiger."
In addition, since this guy was the "culprit" behind the split of the dragon race, the proposal immediately gained the support of many people.
Seeing this, Ye Chen casually offered a reminder, saying, "Choosing either side is fine. However, since the other side can inherit a portion of the ancient Void Dragon's strength, they must have some trump cards. Like powerful secret techniques or forbidden techniques targeting the ancient Void Dragon, etc., it's necessary to prepare in advance..."
This statement was echoed by everyone, and the even more ancient Elder Aoki suddenly seemed to realize something, his expression changing as he said, "I remember that the Northern Dragon King lineage was once in charge of the clan's forbidden arts..."
At this point, everyone present understood what he meant.
Since the Northern Dragon King lineage once controlled the forbidden techniques of the dragon race, will they pass down one or two of them?
It's important to understand that techniques listed as forbidden by the Ancient Dragon Clan are typically those that are exceptionally terrifying and pose a significant threat to the dragon race...
If they were truly taken over by the Northern Dragon King, they might actually be killed by him if they were caught off guard!
"Back when the Dragon Emperor was still alive, he ordered these forbidden techniques to be destroyed because they were too powerful and evil..." Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Aoki continued.
"Even if the Northern Dragon King's lineage secretly left behind one or two techniques behind the Dragon Emperor's back, these techniques are not easy to use, and the backlash is equally terrifying. So unless one is truly driven to the brink, no one would be willing to use them..."
After Elder Aoki spoke, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, everyone immediately reached a consensus and decided to target Beilong Island for this raid!
Of course, while the plan was easy to make, actually taking over North Dragon Island before the three major Dragon Islands could react was not an easy task.
First and foremost, we must avoid making any major moves.
Currently, the three Dragon Islands and the East Dragon Island are in a tense pre-battle phase, with both sides...
The enemy's surveillance is very tight. If Donglong Island makes any big moves, it will definitely not be able to hide it from the other side.
"Actually, we don't need too many people..." Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
"With Zi Yan and me here, plus Elder Qing Mu leading several Dou Sheng experts, we can temporarily keep them in the dark."
"When the time comes, Zi Yan and I will go straight for the Northern Dragon King and try to take him down as quickly as possible. As for the remaining powerful figures on Northern Dragon Island, Elder Qingmu can handle them for now..."
The Northern Dragon King's current strength is only at the late stage of a three-star Dou Sheng, while Zi Yan and Ye Chen are both four-star Dou Sheng. If the two of them join forces, it won't take much effort to defeat him.
"Alright, let's not delay, let's set off immediately!" Zi Yan ordered.
This was done to avoid leaks, since no one knew how many spies from the other three islands were on Donglong Island.
As long as the news doesn't leave this hall, even if someone has ulterior motives, they won't be able to significantly impact their actions.
Zi Yan rose from the throne, and a golden, form-fitting dragon scale armor quickly covered her delicate body...
The armor wasn't bulky; it clung tightly to her shapely body, outlining her beautiful and sensual curves. Beneath its subtle allure lay a chilling coldness that pierced to the bone.
The moment the armor appeared, Zi Yan's originally delicate face gained a touch of cold, murderous aura.
"let's go!"
With a wave of her hand, she tore open the space in front of her and stepped inside first, followed by Ye Chen, Elder Qingmu, and other Dou Sheng experts.
As for Zhu Li, he remained behind to oversee the defense of Donglong Island and prevent the news of Zi Yan and the others' departure from leaking out.
Although Dragon Island is divided, the two islands are not actually far apart, so under Zi Yan's leadership, they arrived directly above North Dragon Island in no time...
The three of them did not hide their auras, because it was useless. So the moment they appeared, Zi Yan and Ye Chen unleashed their soul power to search for the location of the Northern Dragon King.
"Enemy attack!
! ”
After the guards responsible for the defense of Beilong Island spotted them, they immediately issued an alarm.
At that very instant, Ye Chen and Zi Yan simultaneously locked onto a powerful aura deep within North Dragon Island...
The two exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously transformed into streaks of light, crashing down towards their target location like meteorites falling from the sky.
As for the powerful figures from North Dragon Island who rushed out, they were directly stopped by Aoki and his group of Dou Sheng.
Deep within a cave on North Dragon Island, a middle-aged man dressed in a yellow robe sat cross-legged, an ancient scroll before him, seemingly pondering something…
Suddenly, two terrifying auras locked onto him, instantly waking the middle-aged man who was cultivating!
"not good!"
The middle-aged man in the yellow robe's expression changed drastically, but before he could react, a golden light pierced directly through the mountain peak above his head...
A thick, dark gold spear descended from the sky and pierced right through his head!
Behind the spear, a delicate pink hand gripped the hilt, and the owner of this spear appeared to be a slender woman in golden armor…
Chapter 477 Dragon-Slaying Sword
Zi Yan wielded a dark gold spear that was thicker and longer than her body. As she wielded the spear, its golden light was dazzling, and she completely suppressed the Northern Dragon King in an instant.
The aftershocks of their battle shattered all the mountains within a thousand miles...
At this moment, Zi Yan's terrifying strength as a dragon-phoenix was on full display. It seems that her dragon-phoenix physique has greatly increased her strength. Compared with Ye Chen, perhaps this girl can truly be called a one-step ascension to the heavens, and she has ascended to it more steadily than Ye Chen.
"boom!"
The dark golden spear, like a roaring, furious dragon, drew a dazzling arc in the void before slamming into the middle-aged man's arm, which had transformed into a dragon claw. The terrifying force shattered large sections of the scales on the dragon claw...
"Hmph! As expected of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it is indeed powerful!" The Northern Dragon King grunted, feeling the stinging pain in his arm, and said coldly.
"However, is it not too arrogant for a little girl like you to think you can win over me?"
The Northern Dragon King truly hadn't expected that this new Dragon Emperor would be so audacious as to dare to venture alone into his Northern Dragon Island with only a few people...
You should know that as long as you hold them off for a while, the reinforcements from the other two Dragon Islands will arrive soon. At that time, even the Supreme Dragon Phoenix bloodline will perish when faced with the siege of the three Dragon Kings!
"In the end, you're still too young and too arrogant. You wanted to unify the dragon race before you'd even fully matured..."
Holding a long spear, Zi Yan unfurled a pair of enormous phoenix wings, each a hundred feet long, from her back. With a slight flap of the wings, a terrifying power rippled outwards.
"Hmph, let's see if I take you down first, or if your reinforcements arrive to save you first!"
Seeing Zi Yan's change, the Northern Dragon King immediately realized that she was about to unleash some powerful moves.
However, he wasn't going to wait for the other party to complete that move...
"Die!"
With a furious roar, the Northern Dragon King charged forward.
Just as he made his move, a terrifying wave instantly arose from the void.
"The Wrath of the Underworld!"
"Moo!"
A colossal phantom, hundreds of feet tall, suddenly took shape in the sky. Then it opened its enormous mouth, and a terrifying, strange wave burst forth from its mouth like a storm!
It was Ye Chen who made the move, who had been waiting for a long time, and he immediately unleashed the Yellow Springs Wrath, a high-level Heavenly Rank technique!
As those strange syllables emanated from the enormous phantom's mouth, the entire world seemed to fall silent in an instant...
"Oh no, it's a soul attack!"
When the Northern Dragon King realized the true terror of this move, his expression immediately changed drastically.
Although the physical body of the Ancient Void Dragon is incredibly powerful, it is still, after all, a magical beast, and soul power is the weakness of all powerful magical beasts...
"Buzz!"
The empty space began to tremble at this moment.
Upon hearing the strange sound waves, the Northern Dragon King immediately felt dizzy.
However, before he could fully circulate his battle qi, a terrifying sonic shockwave struck him...
"Pfft!"
The Northern Dragon King's body froze for a moment after being struck by the soul impact. His face turned pale instantly, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. The constant, saw-like pain in his mind made him feel like he was going to tear his head apart.
