Seeing Ye Chen's mysterious demeanor, Zi Yan's curiosity was immediately piqued, and she couldn't help but ask, "What is it?"
Ye Chen leaned close to the other woman's ear and whispered, "Actually, back when the Western Dragon King found the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, I had already taken down the entire Nine Netherworld Python Clan..."
Now all the powerful members of the Nine Netherworld Python have become puppets controlled by the Azure Scale Green Serpent Three Flower Child. When those guys finally gather together, we can backstab them!
"At that time, whether it's the two Dragon Kings or those meddlesome Heavenly Phoenixes, we'll make sure they never return!"
After Ye Chen finished speaking, Zi Yan's bright eyes immediately lit up. Looking at Ye Chen, she couldn't help but say, "When did you start scheming against those Nine Netherworld Pythons? Shouldn't your enemies be those Heavenly Demon Phoenixes?"
It's like there are three people, and you have a grudge against the second one, so you turn around and kill the third one. What kind of logic is that?
Ye Chen smiled faintly and said, "Actually, it wasn't really a scheme. After all, I just wanted to use the Nine Netherworld Python Clan's Nine Netherworld Yellow Springs to help Cai Die break through..."
"It just so happened that the previous patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan had escaped, which triggered internal strife within their ranks. So I took advantage of the situation and subdued both sides..."
"I think they should thank me, otherwise, in this kind of clan chieftainship struggle, who knows how many people would die. No matter who wins, the Nine Netherworld Python Clan will suffer a great loss of strength."
Okay, to this kind of sophistry, Ziyan just rolled her eyes.
However, she felt much more at ease...
Zi Yan would always trust Ye Chen's words and arrangements without reservation, and this time was no different; she believed that Ye Chen would never betray her.
For the next few days, Donglong Island was quite noisy. With so many new members joining the tribe, the entire island suddenly became lively.
Although the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void has existed for countless years, its numbers are truly small. Not to mention compared to the Nine Netherworld Python, a magical beast clan that relies on numbers to win, even compared to the group of Heavenly Phoenixes, its numbers are far inferior.
During the period when East Dragon Island absorbed the entire North Dragon Island, the two Dragon Kings in the southwest also accelerated their actions considerably. In fact, Qing Lin had secretly sent a message saying that the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Nether Earth Python, whom they regarded as external aids, had arrived ahead of schedule under constant urging from the other side.
In addition, several powerful magical beasts who had been living in seclusion in the Beast Realm also appeared, so the two Dragon Kings, who felt their strength had greatly increased, had begun to plan to take direct action against East Dragon Island.
"In that case, let's prepare in advance..." In the Dragon Emperor's Hall, Zi Yan stood before the throne, glanced around at the many powerful dragons gathered in the hall, and said in a deep voice.
Chapter 480 The Final Battle (Part 1)
Outside the void, the entire armies of West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island, who had already assembled, were mobilized. With the addition of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python that came to provide support, the force was densely packed with thousands of people.
It should be noted that none of those present are ordinary people; the weakest among them are powerful magical beasts at the Dou Zun level, any one of whom could reach the level of Feng Zun in Zhongzhou.
Such a large group reassured the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King, who were in charge.
"Are you sure that little girl is injured? If this information is wrong, you should know what it means for us..." The Southern Dragon King still felt uneasy and secretly transmitted his voice to the Western Dragon King.
Faced with the Dragon Emperor who possessed the Dragon Slayer Sword, the entire Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void was powerless to resist, even the Dragon Kings were no exception!
The Dragon King said confidently, "Don't worry, I won't risk my life..."
"You should know the price you have to pay to use the Dragon Slayer Sword. Even when the old Dragon Emperor was alive, he had to reach the level of a six-star Dou Sheng before he dared to use it."
But this little girl was courting death, actually forcibly summoning the Dragon-Slaying Sword at such a critical moment; she deserved to suffer the backlash!
Having reigned supreme over the Dragon Clan for so many years, the two naturally knew the Dragon Clan inside and out.
There is no doubt about the power of the Dragon Slayer Sword and its ability to restrain them, the members of the dragon race. However, they are also fully aware of the consequences of Zi Yan forcibly summoning the Dragon Slayer Sword.
"Hehe, speaking of which, we should thank that idiot Northern Dragon King. If he hadn't forced out the Dragon Slayer Sword first, we might have been wiped out when the three of us gathered together."
The Dragon King of the South smiled upon hearing this.
After exchanging a secret message, the two looked at the helpers they had invited.
Since the Northern Dragon King had been killed, the Southern Dragon King was the only one who could entertain the members of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan. This time, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was indeed very generous, sending the remaining two of the Three Heavenly Demon Phoenixes together, along with one-third of the entire Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan's powerful members...
"Hehe, since the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has come to help this time, my Dragon Clan will definitely reward them handsomely after the matter is accomplished!" The Southern Dragon King promised to the phoenix dressed in a fiery red dress.
Phoenix's face was gloomy, and her already sharp features became even more mean. After hearing the Southern Dragon King's words, she could only say coldly, "There's no need for a generous gift. Just remember that Your Majesty, the Dragon King, did not forget the dragon-phoenix essence blood you promised my clan leader!"
The main reason why the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was willing to intervene in the affairs of the Ancient Void Dragon despite suffering such heavy losses was because of the dragon-phoenix essence blood in Zi Yan's body!
It's a pity that Huang Tian was injured by the Dragon Soul True Body during his battle with Ye Chen and is currently in seclusion to recuperate; otherwise, he might have come in person.
"Hehe, don't worry, I will naturally not renege on the reward I promised to Clan Chief Huangtian. However, this is on the premise that your Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan must help us defeat that little dragon emperor, otherwise everything will be in vain..." The Southern Dragon King also promised with a smile.
"My Heavenly Phoenix Clan will naturally go all out!" the phoenix replied with a cold snort.
Actually, she originally disagreed with cooperating with Taixu Gulong.
Putting aside the fact that the two races are sworn enemies, if the Ancient Dragon of the Void were to truly unify the land, its strength would inevitably grow rapidly in a very short time, which would definitely not be a good thing for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.
&n
If the Dragon Clan hadn't split and suffered a significant power reduction, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan wouldn't have been able to rise to prominence. Doing this now is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger.
However, Huang Tian was so focused on using the essence of the dragon and phoenix to improve himself that he was no longer listening to any of these other things.
In addition, the current Heavenly Phoenix Clan does indeed need a more powerful clan leader to restore its prestige, so in the end, Phoenix still brought people over.
As for the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who were invited by the Western Dragon King, their reward was not so valuable.
The Western Dragon King only promised to give Yao Ming a portion of the ancient celestial serpent's essence after the deed was done...
What the Western Dragon King didn't expect was that the Nine Netherworld Python had also brought so many powerful figures, including three Dou Sheng level experts. In terms of sheer numbers, they even surpassed the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan.
However, although they were numerous, their quality was far inferior, not only compared to the elite dragon warriors, but even compared to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan.
This made the Western Dragon King extremely contemptuous of these earth snakes, and he was determined to use them as cannon fodder.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Qing Lin had already contacted Ye Chen on the Nine Netherworld Python's side, and was just waiting for the battle to begin so that he could backstab these guys and work together from the inside to make sure that none of them could escape!
"Let's go, they should have discovered us by now..." The Western Dragon King glanced at the group, then at the massive Eastern Dragon Island within the void barrier beneath his feet, and landed first.
A powerful enemy has descended upon Donglong Island.
Everyone on Donglong Island, who had been preparing for a long time, was already sharpening their swords, and under the leadership of Dragon Queen Ziyan, they were eagerly eyeing the enemies on Xilong Island and Nanlong Island...
"Besides the two Dragon Kings, there are actually ten Battle Saints... Old Man Qingmu, how do you think His Majesty the Dragon Emperor will deal with this?"
Looking at the formation in the sky, the former Grand Elder of Beilong Island, Bingxuan, asked in a solemn voice transmission.
It's important to understand that although they also have a combined force from East Dragon Island and North Dragon Island, which amounts to half the strength of the dragon race, the Dragon Empress Zi Yan needs to recuperate, while the opposing side has the support of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix and the Nine Netherworld Python. This has created a severe imbalance in the number of powerful individuals on both sides...
Of the four Dragon Islands, West Dragon Island was originally the strongest. In addition to the West Dragon King, the island also had two two-star Dou Sheng powerhouses, Elder Zhu Mu and Xuan Mo, the commander of the Dragon Armor Army. This already far surpassed the other three Dragon Islands.
Now, the enemy's reinforcements also include Phoenix and Yao Ming, both of whom are two-star Dou Sheng. If we include Lie Shan, the Grand Elder of Nanlong Island, they have five two-star Dou Sheng level experts.
On the other hand, Donglong Island only had Qingmu, Bingxuan, and a dragon elder who had returned from the void... This alone was enough to give the other side an overwhelming advantage!
"Don't worry, His Majesty the Dragon Emperor already knew about this information and has probably made arrangements..." Aoki said calmly.
All of this was merely a performance for Bing Xuan's benefit; in truth, he himself still had no idea what Zi Yan's plan was...
Seeing that Zi Yan's face was still somewhat pale, the two dragon kings secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the news was indeed correct.
At this moment, the little dragon emperor was clearly putting on a brave face, which could be felt from the somewhat unstable aura emanating from him.
Chapter 481 The Final Battle (Part 2)
"Hehe, my niece Ziyan, the internal strife within the Ancient Dragon Clan has resulted in devastating losses. Furthermore, the Southern Dragon King, the Northern Dragon King, and I all possess royal blood, so it is only natural for us to become kings..."
"We've come here for no other reason than that you've already killed the Northern Dragon King, so we can leave it at that. If you, as the Dragon Emperor, declare West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island independent, then this conflict can be averted. What do you say?"
Looking at the two sides facing off, the Western Dragon King stepped forward with a smile and said loudly.
Of course, this wasn't because the Western Dragon King was backing down or wanted to back down; rather, it was an attempt to demoralize his opponent...
After all, half of the strongmen on Donglong Island are people from Beilong Island who have just joined them. If Zi Yan reveals a weakness at this time, these people will definitely collapse in morale and their combat strength will be greatly reduced in an instant.
Unfortunately, although Ziyan is young and inexperienced, she is not stupid; on the contrary, she is very smart.
Given that this whole affair was originally a setup for the two of them, she naturally wouldn't do what the Western Dragon King wanted...
"You dare to call yourselves descendants of the Ancient Dragon Royal Family! You took advantage of my father's disappearance to cause the Ancient Dragon Clan of the Void to split apart, leading to the Ancient Dragon Clan's current state. It is no exaggeration to call you sinners of the Ancient Dragon Clan! If the Ancient Dragon Clan were to truly fall into your hands, that would be the real end!" Zi Yan raised her eyebrows slightly, her murderous aura surging, and coldly shouted.
Upon hearing this, the Western Dragon King smiled and said softly, "Since my niece Ziyan is so stubborn, I have no choice but to capture you by force. When you see the prosperity of my ancient dragon clan in the future, you will naturally understand that what I am doing now is absolutely correct."
"Gentlemen, let's get started! Don't delay any longer, or things will only get worse!"
Upon hearing the voice of the Western Dragon King, the Southern Dragon King beside him did not hesitate, and his body immediately began to erupt with powerful battle qi fluctuations.
"Do you really think that I am afraid of you just because you have so many people?"
Seeing the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King attacking her together, Zi Yan's face darkened completely. With a swift movement, a pair of enormous phoenix wings, each a hundred feet long, rapidly unfurled from her back...
Wings of a Celestial Phoenix, Body of an Ancient Dragon!
With the Supreme Dragon Phoenix Body activated, Zi Yan's speed increased dramatically, and she even gained a slight advantage when fighting two opponents at once.
Seeing that the three were already locked in combat, the many powerful figures from West Dragon Island and South Dragon Island naturally could no longer tolerate it and immediately began to crush the group from East Dragon Island.
With the stronger side having the upper hand, the operational intentions of West Dragon Island and others are very simple: to defeat the strongmen of East Dragon Island in the shortest possible time!
"Hahaha, old man Aoki, it's been many years! Let this old man see just how much you've improved!" Zhu Mu, the Grand Elder of West Dragon Island, laughed as he greeted Aoki, the Grand Elder of East Dragon Island.
On the other side, Lie Shan, the Grand Elder of South Dragon Island, blocked Bing Xuan, the Grand Elder of North Dragon Island, while Xuan Mo held off the remaining dragon clan elders...
In this way, all the top combatants of Donglong Island were stopped, and none of the remaining people could stop the many local experts led by Phoenix and Yaoming.
This was all part of the plan that the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King had made from the very beginning...
However, they have always overlooked one important person, Ye Chen... and Qing Lin, who was arranged by Ye Chen!
"clang!"
In the sky, a massive, demon-like figure clashed violently with a crimson flame. A deafening roar, like metal striking metal, accompanied by a terrifying gale, swept across the sky...
Within a radius of a hundred feet, crimson flames and terrifying energy spread out in all directions.
The two figures were also violently blasted away by the storm.
"Phoenix, I, the King, am here to lend you a hand!"
Just as Phoenix was about to continue after exchanging a blow with a Dragon Clan Battle Saint, she suddenly heard someone shouting behind her.
With just a slight pause, the phoenix recognized the speaker as the patriarch of the Nine Netherworld Python Clan, who had been invited just like their Heavenly Phoenix Clan!
The arrogance of being one of the Three Heavenly Phoenixes made the phoenix immediately want to stop the other party from interfering in their battle. However, remembering what the Southern Dragon King had said earlier, they needed to crush those on Eastern Dragon Island who dared to resist as quickly as possible...
Looking at the massive Void Ancient Dragon in front of her, although it was only a one-star Dou Sheng, its physical defense was terrifying. It was unlikely that she could defeat it in a short time, so she suppressed the idea of stopping it.
However, this very hesitation led him directly to the brink of death...
"Nine Netherworld Thorn!"
Yao Ming transformed into a streak of black lightning, and with incredible speed, instantly traversed countless distances, arriving behind the phoenix...
puff!
The phoenix, sensing the commotion, immediately realized something was wrong. However, because the other party had always been an ally, the phoenix hadn't been very wary of them. This meant that by the time it realized the danger, it was already too late...
The pitch-black lightning, imbued with the venom of the Nine Nether Serpent, pierced directly through the phoenix's heart. Even with the protection of the Phoenix True Fire, the phoenix was still severely injured and on the verge of death. Its life force rapidly converged into its Phoenix Gallbladder, which it had cultivated for thousands of years. Then, the Phoenix Gallbladder, resembling a crimson crystal, carrying boundless phoenix flames, fled into the distance.
Phoenix rising from the ashes!
As a possessor of the Phoenix bloodline, after suffering a fatal attack, the Phoenix will automatically unleash the power of rebirth, storing all its life force in the Phoenix Gallbladder, nourished by Phoenix Fire, and can be reborn again in less than a hundred years!
This sudden turn of events not only stunned the powerful figure from Donglong Island, but also left everyone else present, except for the members of the Nine Netherworld Python, utterly astonished…
"Yao Ming, how dare you betray us?!" Elder Lie Shan of Nanlong Island roared in fury.
However, he was currently entangled with Bingxuan and couldn't break free at all.
Meanwhile, Kunhuang and the others, who were leading the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan and the Eastern Dragon Island in a chaotic battle, were instantly stunned...
Qinglin, who had been waiting in the shadows for a long time, seized the opportunity and, while intercepting the Phoenix Gallbladder, also released all the puppets from his Jade Serpent Three Flower Child Space in an instant. Together with the Nine Netherworld Python Clan experts outside, they all charged madly towards the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan...
In an instant, Kunhuang, attacked by Yao Xiaotian and the Grand Elder of the Nine Netherworld Python, let out a miserable scream and then perished without even a chance to escape.
The remaining powerful members of the Heavenly Phoenix Clan were also wiped out in an instant, with 70% of them lost...
This scene shocked the Southern Dragon King and the Western Dragon King. Then, looking at Zi Yan, who remained calm and showed no change in expression, the two immediately realized that they had been tricked!
"go!"
Without prior arrangement, the two dragon kings roared at the same time, and then immediately turned around to retreat.
"Trying to leave? Too late..."
"Heavenly Dragon's Wrath!"
Ye Chen, who had been waiting in the shadows for a long time, made his move directly. The terrifying sonic wave of the raging dragon struck the two dragon kings head-on, and a terrifying energy storm instantly swept over their bodies.
