The Planet's Will
Above the sky, lightning flashed and dark clouds churned.
The Dragon King looked down at the ants struggling, dying, and fleeing below, his eyes still filled with lingering anger.
Killing only insignificant weaklings will not shake the foundation of terrestrial life.
The soldiers who have died now can be replaced in less than two years.
Therefore, the Dragon King did not feel relieved.
Then, his dragon claws began to slowly press down.
Immediately afterwards, the dark clouds that had shrouded the southern part of the Moonfall Continent slowly descended along with the thunder.
"Boom--!"
Thunder and lightning raged, and dark clouds loomed over the city. In an instant, Mao City was like a lone boat about to be swallowed up, teetering on the brink of collapse.
However, after a short while, the dark clouds remained hundreds of meters in the sky, and did not fall to the ground.
It was as if something nonexistent was supporting this strike, powerful enough to sink a small piece of land.
The Dragon King was completely impatient.
Hovering amidst the dark clouds, isolated from the outside world by the immense Psychic Energy of the Heaven-Controlling Realm, he finally spoke.
"They struck first, why can't I retaliate!"
He roared at the azure sky above the dark clouds, his scarlet vertical pupils filled with chilling killing intent.
Above the thick, dark clouds, in the clear sky, a faint flash of blue-gold lightning seemed to streak across the sky.
"Medium-lethal weapon?"
As if he had heard something utterly absurd, a sneer rang out from the Dragon King's mouth.
"If I'm not mistaken, that force is clearly the Chain Bomb you explicitly forbade!"
"Or do you think the Psychic Energy detonated by the Human Race wasn't wide enough to hurt you?"
Or perhaps...
"Boom!"
The Dragon King's voice was interrupted.
A streak of cyan-gold lightning flashed across the sky, this time noticeably more conspicuous, carrying a hint of warning.
The Dragon King understood what this meant.
No further explanation is needed.
You can strike with lightning bolts or unleash a lava attack if you wish.
However, the idea of sinking large swathes of land in the area where Mao City is located is out of the question.
"Roar!"
Since the negotiations have broken down, let's just leave it at that.
The Dragon King ignored the ever-growing cyan-gold lightning in the sky.
He must act swiftly and decisively before the immense power emanating from the Planetary Will has fully accumulated.
The dark dragon shadow snaked forward, and then suddenly pressed down onto the land!
"Boom!"
The stagnant dark clouds were forced to begin falling again by this blow.
This time, although the falling speed was still not fast, it carried an unstoppable and terrifying force.
Blue-gold lightning appeared out of thin air, with a small portion colliding and dissipating with crimson lightning among the clouds.
The remaining cyan-gold lightning transformed into thick chains hundreds of meters long.
They were embedded layer by layer into the Dragon King's flesh and blood, and even hovered above the Dragon King's soul.
However, dark patterns formed by the violent surge of Psychic Energy lit up on the Dragon King's scales, and with all his might, he propelled the dark clouds downwards with unstoppable force.
The clouds swallowed up the allied Heaven Realm warriors who had mustered all their strength to rush forward and defend themselves.
Then it crushed the powerful beings from the Earth Realm who were frozen in place due to fear.
The lava and seawater, carrying the Sea Race soldiers, suddenly retreated, and the dark clouds crashed down to the ground in the next moment.
"Bang--!"
Everything that touched the clouds and mist was instantly crushed, as if facing Heavy Hammer.
In the blink of an eye, the remaining buildings in Mao City, the temporary settlements, and all the creatures that couldn't evacuate in time were all pulverized.
The dark clouds continued to fall, showing no signs of stopping.
"Click... click... click--!"
The sickening sound of the ground collapsing began to appear.
Immediately afterwards, seawater began to flow backward due to gravity.
If one could observe from the side of the continent at this moment, one would see that this area in the southern part of the Moonfall Continent is rapidly sinking.
In fact, it has already vaguely formed a cliff with the area not shrouded in dark clouds.
As the land itself began to be destroyed, a brilliant blue-gold light shone in the sky.
In the void, more chains appeared out of thin air, making it impossible for the dark clouds to move even an inch.
Immediately afterwards, the azure lightning surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the Dragon King was still trying to unleash his power.
"Roar!"
At that moment, amidst the dragon's roar, intense pain completely overwhelmed the rage.
The attack struck straight to the soul, causing even the dark dragon scales to dim slightly, and faint lightning marks even appeared on the pair of ferocious Black Jade horns.
The Dragon King uncontrollably loosened his grip.
The dark clouds dissipated considerably, revealing the blood-soaked remains of Mao City below.
"Roar!"
The Dragon King let out a painful howl, realizing the state of his body.
The Planetary Will is the Ruolan Star itself; he was born on this planet, and his soul is destined to be controlled by it.
Therefore, the "punishment" just now directly damaged his soul.
Since he has already caused maximum damage, staying any longer would only invite further attacks from other Heaven-Controlling Realm experts.
With that thought in mind, the Dragon King immediately headed towards the Tianpiao Ocean.
But just as feared, how could the other races' Heaven-Controlling Realm let such an opportunity to kick someone when they're down pass by?
"Sir, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Why don't you stay and chat with this old woman for a while?"
Golden threads silently emerged and climbed up the Dragon King's body.
Before it could be completely bound and tightened, it was severed by the dragon scales that exploded out.
"Motherly Silk?"
A hint of disdain flashed in the Dragon King's eyes, but he quickened his retreat even further.
He knew that the guy wouldn't dare show up; at most, he could just remotely control the Motherly Silk to inflict more wounds on him.
This Human Race, a Heaven-Controlling Realm expert, was even more afraid of the Planetary Will than he was.
Just before he was about to enter the sea, a phantom figure suddenly appeared and stopped the Dragon King, whose body was covered in lightning.
"You really do see everything when you live long enough. You and that old hag have actually teamed up?"
Looking at the humanoid figure with bestial features before him, the Dragon King's voice was laced with undisguised mockery.
The figure of light had no intention of speaking; its sharp claws slashed directly at the Dragon King's body.
"Clang!"
The claw blade was swung away.
Even though the Dragon King was severely injured, he was still in his true form and naturally had no fear of the Psychic Energy in front of him.
The reason he didn't project clones like this was actually so that he could unleash his full power to destroy Mao City.
If it is not the true form that arrives, it will fail during the cloud-gathering stage due to insufficient Psychic Energy.
Not to mention going head-to-head with the Planetary Will.
"One is hiding his true form, and the other has only sent out a Psychic Energy compete with me?"
The dragon's tail lashed out, accompanied by azure-gold lightning!
"Bang!"
"Wishful thinking!"
Sensing that the Dragon King still had some strength left, the light and the golden threads that had appeared instantly dissipated.
However, after they left, a red stain spread in the seawater.
When the Dragon King entered the water, he discovered that the large number of Sea Race soldiers who had been swept back into the sea and were not affected by the dark clouds were now reduced to mangled limbs.
Their target was not the Dragon King, but to prevent the Sea Race from launching a large-scale attack on the land after the Dragon King left.
His anger surged again, but this time, the Dragon King suppressed it.
He cannot cross the boundary a third time in a short period of time, otherwise he would only be forcing the Planetary Will to kill him.
The most urgent task is to settle Chongming City and the Dragon Palace.
As for those damned land creatures, let them hop around a little longer.
