"North Dragon King, surrender now! You instigated the West and South Dragon Kings to divide the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan—a crime worthy of

"North Dragon King, surrender now! You instigated the West and South Dragon Kings to divide the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan—a crime worthy of death. But if you surrender willingly, I'll grant you a complete corpse!"

Zi Yan's cold yet melodious voice echoed across the heavens, carrying an overwhelming majesty. In her hand was a golden longsword that seemed to flow like liquid, radiating a destructive power. Her golden hair rippled with that same aura of devastation, forcing every Taixu Ancient Dragon within a thousand meters to retreat instinctively. Even the Dou Sheng elders of the Ancient Dragon Clan shivered as they looked upon the golden sword and hurriedly averted their gazes.

This sword was the clan's most powerful battle technique—the Dragon-Slaying Sword. Only those with the purest royal bloodline of the Ancient Dragon Clan could wield it.

As its name implied, the Dragon-Slaying Sword was meant for killing dragons. It was a method exclusive to the Dragon Emperor. Unless one's strength vastly surpassed the wielder's, any dragon facing this sword would be as fragile as tofu.

Zi Yan's violet-golden eyes were locked on a pale-faced, contorted middle-aged man, whose gaze was filled with madness—the North Dragon King of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

The North Dragon King burst into wild laughter, showing not the slightest trace of fear. "Surrender? A full corpse? Ridiculous! If that old bastard Zhukun hadn't left you with those backup plans, you think a little brat like you—who still reeks of milk—even with the Dragon-Slaying Sword, could contend with me? What a joke!"

"How dare you insult the former Dragon Emperor!"

Everyone in the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, including Zi Yan, was filled with fury. Among their kind, they bowed neither to heaven nor earth, only to the Dragon Emperor. Zhukun, who had led their clan to the peak of the continent over the past millennia, was revered as their supreme figure.

"Haha! In the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, bloodline is everything. If a little girl like you can force me this far with the Dragon-Slaying Sword, then your bloodline must indeed be stronger than mine. Let's see whose bloodline reigns supreme!"

With a thunderous roar, the North Dragon King stomped the ground, summoning a towering pillar of blood-red light. It surged upward and quickly spread, enveloping the entire North Dragon Island, with him at the center.

"That's the Dragon-Transformation Demon Array!"

"The Dragon-Transformation Demon Array? That's a forbidden technique of the Ancient Dragon Clan! It was destroyed thousands of years ago—how could he possibly use it?!"

High above the island, a white-haired elder roared with rage.

The Dragon-Transformation Demon Array was a forbidden technique created long ago by a transcendently powerful member of the clan. Once activated, every Taixu Ancient Dragon within the array—except for the one acting as its core—would be reduced to a pool of blood, their essence devoured to empower the caster. Due to its cruel and gruesome nature, it had been banned and later completely eradicated. No one could've imagined that the North Dragon King still had a way to use it.

"Stop the North Dragon King, now!"

With a resounding shout, Zi Yan and several Dou Sheng elders of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan charged forward, launching a barrage of attacks toward the North Dragon King.

"You think I'll give you the chance to break this formation?" The North Dragon King laughed maniacally. Beneath his feet lay the massive corpses of two incomplete, lifeless Ancient Dragons—they were none other than the West Dragon King and South Dragon King of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan.

"North Dragon King, you beast! You even turned on your own allies!" Zi Yan roared, eyes blazing with fury. She tore open space itself, her Heavenly Phoenix Wings flapping violently as she raised the Dragon-Slaying Sword and slashed down toward him.

"Jie jie jie... Those two worthless fools were already gravely injured by you. Even if they recovered, they'd never amount to anything. It's better to let me put them to use. But don't worry, I'll help them get revenge!"

The North Dragon King cackled as he spread his arms wide. The blood-red glow enveloped the West and South Dragon Kings, and he declared, "Once I devour those two wastes, you're next, little girl. The Dragon Phoenix bloodline… Once I have it, I'll possess the most powerful bloodline the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan has ever known! Even if that old fossil Zhukun is still alive and returns, I'll have nothing to fear!"

"Power! Bloodline! Come to me!"

As the North Dragon King roared with fervor, the blood-colored sky over Ancient Dragon Island suddenly darkened. Space fractured, and a black, cosmic finger—large enough to pierce the heavens—descended like a meteor, piercing straight through him.

The North Dragon King's head exploded into a cloud of blood mist. The core of the Dragon-Transformation Demon Array beneath him was shattered in an instant, creating a thousand-meter-deep abyss in the earth.

It all happened so fast—from the black finger's descent to the North Dragon King's obliteration and the destruction of the formation's core—it all occurred in the blink of an eye. The Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan didn't even have time to react.

Zi Yan was the first to come to her senses. Her nose twitched as she caught a familiar scent. She turned toward the sky and saw a smiling black-clad figure. Her face lit up as she rushed forward with open arms and called out:

"Qian Renhan!"

Just as she was about to embrace him, Qian Renhan extended a finger. Space rippled, and with a touch to her forehead, he halted the powerful Four-Star Dou Sheng Zi Yan in her tracks.

"Mind your image. You are the Dragon Emperor of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan now."

"That's a human. How does he seem to know the Dragon Emperor?"

The Taixu Ancient Dragons had always been proud. They looked down on other magical beasts—and even more so on humans. One had to prove overwhelming strength to earn their respect.

Because the clan had been consumed by internal conflict, they were unaware of Qian Renhan's infamy across Central Continent. Aside from Xiong Zhan, he had blood-sacrificed the Bone Mountain Range and slaughtered the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan—all while calmly observing.

"Qian Renhan, why did you deal with the North Dragon King directly?" Zi Yan pouted slightly and turned her head away from his finger, suddenly reverting to a childish demeanor.

Given Qian Renhan's personality, he would typically wait for the North Dragon King to complete the blood ritual and reach a power peak before intervening. Killing him then and devouring his power would've yielded a greater benefit.

Having known Qian Renhan for years, Zi Yan thought she understood him well. She believed that while he wouldn't harm the Dragon Clan on her account, he wouldn't care for the lives of any other dragons besides her. The Dragon-Transformation Demon Array, no matter how powerful, wouldn't have easily refined her—but the rest of North Dragon Island would've been doomed.

Back when he spared the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, it was only to preserve her food supply. It had nothing to do with mercy.

Qian Renhan once again extended a finger to her forehead, sending a surge of dark battle energy into her. Zi Yan's brows furrowed slightly.

"The Heaven-Transforming Ancient Array… So that's how it works. I understand now. I'll go set it up shortly. Once I extract the royal bloodline from those three Dragon King corpses, I'll leave the rest to you."
