974. The Strongest Dragon King
The Northern Dragon King's long hair rose without wind, his pupils suddenly turned a faint purple-gold color, and his dragon horns were raised high, inspiring awe.
His aura swept out, and under the pressure of his power, many powerful dragons, including Elder Qingmu, the Western Dragon King, and the Southern Dragon King, were forced to retreat continuously.
All three of them were powerful warriors with the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng, but they were still intimidated by the dragon might released by the Northern Dragon King. This shows that the Northern Dragon King not only has the bloodline of the Dragon Emperor, but his strength is also greater than theirs!
Elder Qingmu's face also paled, and he asked in disbelief, "You've advanced to a four-star Dou Sheng?"
"Indeed, so destiny is in my hands. Shouldn't the Dragon Emperor's Origin Fruit belong to the true powerhouse of the Dragon Clan?" the Northern Dragon King said proudly.
The three Dragon Kings originally possessed only the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng, with a negligible difference in strength between them, which allowed them to maintain a balance. However, unexpectedly, the Northern Dragon King quietly became the strongest member of the Ancient Dragon Clan under such circumstances.
In an instant, all the members of the Ancient Dragon Clan present turned pale because of the dragon's might; it was a suppression rooted in their bloodline.
Although the three Dragon Kings were not direct descendants of the Dragon Emperor, they were indeed branches of the royal family, with bloodlines far purer than those of ordinary ancient dragons. This level of pressure threw Qingmu into disarray.
Since the Northern Dragon King had demonstrated his true strength, it was only natural that the Western Dragon King and the Southern Dragon King were willing to assist him.
The Northern Dragon King was extremely satisfied with the current situation. With his bloodline and strength, he was able to suppress these dragon-type people to this extent. If he obtained the complete power of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, he could further purify his dragon blood. At that time, he might be able to reach the level of the former Dragon Emperor.
If he doesn't act, he'll be handing over the power of life and death to the little girl Ziyan. But if he does act, he could very well become the true emperor of the dragon clan. The choice is simple.
"Now's the time to break the formation!"
After the Northern Dragon King revealed his true power, the eyes of the powerful figures from the three Dragon Islands gleamed with admiration. In comparison, the resistance from the Eastern Dragon Island seemed much weaker. Without the support of these powerful figures, the protective array that guarded the Eastern Dragon Island did not withstand them for long before shattering with a deafening roar.
As soon as the great formation was broken, the Northern Dragon King sensed human fluctuations around Zi Yan's aura, and his anthropomorphic brows furrowed.
"Trying to pull any tricks under my nose? You're still too green!"
Then, the Northern Dragon King raised his right hand, and the spatial vortex opened instantly. The innate divine power of the Ancient Void Dragon allowed him to control space at will, and the next moment he had arrived in the main dragon hall of the Eastern Dragon Island.
A tall, slender figure sat cross-legged, surrounded by shimmering, multicolored light that amplified her power. Even though the Northern Dragon King had already reached the level of a four-star Dou Sheng, he still felt a profound pressure emanating from her—the sheer power of pure Dragon Emperor blood!
The Northern Dragon King possessed astonishing eyesight and could see that Zi Yan's absorption was not yet completely finished. The moment it finally ended would be the perfect opportunity for him to devour Zi Yan's digested power. Such a rich bloodline fueled his possessiveness to its peak.
Two figures rushed into the main hall one after the other; they were Lei Jingxiao and Wei Jiangyuan.
Because of the huge difference in strength, the Northern Dragon King did not take the two of them seriously.
"Gentlemen, this is an internal matter of my dragon clan. Please step back!"
The Northern Dragon King did not expect the two to back off on their own. He released two streams of fighting spirit to lock onto Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao respectively. Of course, these two streams of fighting spirit could only trap the two and could not cause any additional damage.
"How dare you! You, the Northern Dragon King, actually imprison the young master of the Thunder Clan! I'll give you a chance. Kneel down and apologize to our young master Lei right now, or the Thunder Clan's experts will come and take your life!" Wei Jiangyuan threatened fiercely. If you listened to him, it really would seem as if the Thunder Clan's experts were about to appear.
The Northern Dragon King sneered and shook his head, saying, "I know you have many powerful backers, but the current situation on the continent is unusual. Even the Shennong Elder and the Thunder Clan experts must not act recklessly."
"You may indeed have the ability to bring them here, but please think carefully. The Soul Clan and the Ancient Clan may just be missing that one excuse, and they're just waiting for you to take action."
Although the Ancient Dragon of the Void had little contact with humans and its main base was in the void, the Northern Dragon King knew quite a bit about humans and was well aware that the major families of the Dou Di descendants had reached the point of fighting each other.
At this moment, his use of this weakness to blackmail Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao struck a nerve, indeed attracting stronger reinforcements. However, as the Northern Dragon King said, this was truly a matter of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, and outsiders had no right to interfere. Their assistance to Zi Yan was entirely out of personal friendship.
Seeing that threats were no longer effective, Wei Jiangyuan devised another plan. His expression shifted instantly, and he grinned, "Northern Dragon King, everything is negotiable. You just want that worthless fruit, right? I'll trade you a ninth-grade pill, how about it?"
"Don't waste your time. You two are important people, honored guests of the Dragon Clan. I won't attack you, but I will definitely not let you interfere with my plans."
The Northern Dragon King had previously feigned cooperation with the Eastern Dragon Island, and during that time, he naturally got to know Wei Jiangyuan and Lei Jingxiao, knowing that their identities were extraordinary.
"No, you've been fighting so hard, it's been exhausting for you. How about this, I'll add one more, making it two grade nine pills in total!"
Wei Jiangyuan continued rambling on, "You probably know who my teacher is. Let's cooperate well this time, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The Northern Dragon King seemed not to have heard these words at all, and began to carefully observe the location where Zi Yan was, as if examining the most delicious food, his eyes filled with undisguised drooling.
During this time, Lei Jingxiao repeatedly tried to break through the battle qi binding him. With his strength and the battle techniques of the Lei Clan, he did indeed cause some trouble for the Northern Dragon King. However, on the other side, the resistance on Eastern Dragon Island was nearing its end, and the Northern Dragon King directly assigned the Western Dragon King, a mid-stage three-star Dou Sheng, to specifically keep an eye on the two of them. This freed him up to focus on figuring out how to devour Zi Yan later.
The difference of two stars was enough to drive anyone to despair, and coupled with the opponent's focused and dedicated care, it almost completely cut off all the methods Lei Jingxiao could use.
Seeing the Northern Dragon King continuously releasing his battle aura and his internal energy becoming increasingly strange, Lei Jingxiao grew genuinely anxious and transmitted his voice to Wei Jiangyuan beside him, "Hey Wei, what do we do?"
