East Dragon Island.

At this moment, the air above East Dragon Island rang continuously with the sound of tearing wind. The people from the other Three Great Dragon Islands had arrived, their vast armies blanketing East Dragon Island like dark clouds.

Inside the main hall.

"Great Elder, the people from the other Three Great Dragon Islands have arrived!" Third Elder Zhu Li rushed into the hall and said excitedly to the Great Elder.

"They have finally come!"

Ever since Ancient Dragon Island had split into the Four Great Dragon Islands, the four islands would clash every so often. For all these years, the elders of East Dragon Island and the Dragon Kings of the other three islands had all sought to unify the Void Ancient Dragon clan.

In the past, East Dragon Island had been the weakest among the Four Great Dragon Islands. Though it had the ambition to unify the Void Ancient Dragon clan, it lacked the strength to do so.

But times had changed. This time, the Void Ancient Dragon clan would be completely unified.

"Friends of the Flame Clan, please come with this old man and meet those three traitors!" Qing Shan said.

"Of course. Since the Void Ancient Dragon clan has formed an alliance with my Flame Clan, its affairs are naturally the affairs of my Flame Clan. Leave this matter to me. I would like to see what abilities these so-called Three Great Dragon Kings possess!" With that, Huo Ling and Yan Xuan took the lead and departed.

"Great Elder, let us hurry as well." After saying that, Huo Xuan also swept toward the outside of the palace.

"Old Qing Shan, you finally came. This King thought you did not dare to show yourself!" Upon seeing Qing Shan emerge, the South Dragon King chuckled mockingly.

"Hmph! Dragon Kings? You are merely collateral branches with royal bloodlines. How dare you call yourselves kings?" Qing Shan retorted.

"The three of us also possess royal bloodlines. After the Dragon Emperor vanished, our bloodlines became the highest! It is only natural for us to call ourselves kings. Who are you, you old fool, to point fingers at us?"

"Speaking of which, your East Dragon Island is the one that truly should not exist. Among the four islands, only yours has never had a leader with a royal bloodline. Such an existence will never be acknowledged!" the North Dragon King said coldly.

"Hmph! There is no point in talking further! Old Qing Shan, this King will make you pay for what you said back then!" the West Dragon King said.

"So you have not come to submit to East Dragon Island?"

At that moment, Man Yan, commander of the South Dragon Island's Savage Dragon Army, stepped out from the army and spoke disdainfully.

"Submit to East Dragon Island? What a joke! What is East Dragon Island even worth? Today, we will—"

Bang!

A deep explosion suddenly resounded in the sky! Before everyone's eyes, Man Yan abruptly exploded.

Countless chunks of flesh and blood fell from the sky, and the stench of blood filled the air.

The members of the Savage Dragon Army stared at one another and could not help shuddering. Their commander had been a peak Dou Zun expert, yet he had died just like that? Soon, many of them regained their senses and turned terrified gazes toward the crowd on East Dragon Island. Remembering that bizarre scene, chills rose in all their hearts. They had originally intended to mock them aloud, but now none of them dared make a sound. That strange scene might happen again.

"I will ask you one more time. Have you come to submit to East Dragon Island, or have you come to wage war?" As he spoke, Huo Ling stepped out from the East Dragon Island crowd and released the aura of a Seven Star Dou Sheng without holding anything back.

Feeling Huo Ling's Seven Star Dou Sheng aura, the expressions of the Three Great Dragon Kings immediately darkened.

A high-level Dou Sheng!

"Since when did East Dragon Island find such powerful outside help?"

A high-level Dou Sheng was not someone the three of them could handle.

"Think carefully once more. Do you wish to submit, or do you wish to start a war? If you wish for war, this old man will accompany you to the end!" Yan Xuan also stepped out from the crowd, releasing the aura of a Six Star Dou Sheng.

Another high-level Dou Sheng!

"I am the North Dragon King. May I ask who you are, sir—"

"Hmph! Dragon King? If this old man remembers correctly, we told you three days ago to discard that title. Did you not receive the message, or are you simply unwilling to part with the title of Dragon King?" Huo Ling said coldly.

At those words, the Three Great Dragon Kings looked at one another. Either one looked at another, or another looked back at him, but no one dared answer Huo Ling's question.

"Sir, this is an internal matter of the Void Ancient Dragon clan. Please do not interfere."

The North Dragon King paused before continuing, "Since you are willing to help East Dragon Island, they must have offered you considerable benefits. Whatever East Dragon Island can offer you, we can offer as well. So long as you stand aside, once we destroy East Dragon Island, no matter what conditions you propose, we will certainly satisfy them."

"The terms are tempting, but this old man has no interest in them whatsoever," Yan Xuan said.

"This old man feels the same," Huo Ling said, sharing Yan Xuan's stance.

"Great Elder, announce the Dragon Emperor's decree," Huo Xuan said to the Great Elder beside him.

What? The Dragon Emperor!

Huo Xuan's words were like a massive bomb exploding among the crowd, causing an uproar. Not only were the people from the other Three Great Dragon Islands stunned, even those from East Dragon Island found it unbelievable.

"Everyone! What this young friend said is true. The Dragon Emperor of our Void Ancient Dragon clan has truly been found!"

The people of East Dragon Island looked at one another, their eyes surging with excitement. None of them had expected that their previous Dragon Emperor, who had supposedly vanished long ago, had actually been found! If so, the strength of the Ancient Dragon clan would undoubtedly soar by leaps and bounds!

Upon hearing this, the Three Great Dragon Kings all revealed fearful expressions. The Dragon Emperor had been found—what fate awaited those who had split the Void Ancient Dragon clan apart? They knew perfectly well.

"This old man can guarantee that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor will return to the Void Ancient Dragon clan within twenty years. Before then, His Majesty has issued an order: the Three Great Dragon Kings committed an unforgivable crime by dividing the Void Ancient Dragon clan! Everyone present was merely deceived by them. Those who submit may be spared death!"

"Qing Shan! Y-You are just trying to scare us! The Dragon Emperor has been missing for a thousand years. You say he has been found, and that means he has been found?" The South Dragon King, the most witless of the Three Great Dragon Kings, was the first to question it.

But while the South Dragon King dared to question those words, his subordinates did not.

"Hmph! South Dragon King! Whether you believe it or not is your business. The same words still stand! Those who choose to submit may be spared death!"

"We obey the Dragon Emperor's command. We are willing to submit!"

After hesitating for a moment, the members of the Savage Dragon Army knelt in the sky and spoke respectfully.

"What are you doing? Get up! Don't listen to their nonsense! The Dragon Emperor has been missing for a thousand years. They claim they've found the Dragon Emperor—where is the proof?" Seeing that his subordinates had already submitted to East Dragon Island, the South Dragon King hurriedly shouted in rebuke.

Yet the members of the Savage Dragon Army remained kneeling and did not rise. The South Dragon King's words had no effect at all. Setting aside the matter of the Dragon Emperor, Huo Ling and Yan Xuan alone were high-level Dou Shengs whom their Dragon King could not defeat. To preserve their lives, they had no choice but to submit to East Dragon Island.

"We obey the Dragon Emperor's command! We are willing to submit!" Following the Savage Dragon Army's surrender, the Dragon Armor Army of West Dragon Island also chose to submit.

After seeing the people of the other two great Dragon Islands kneel, the people of North Dragon Island also dropped to their knees one after another, choosing to submit to East Dragon Island as well.

"All of you, get up!" the West Dragon King roared at his Dragon Armor Army.

"Traitors! A bunch of traitors! I will personally destroy you all today!" the South Dragon King roared furiously.

With an angry roar, the South Dragon King shot toward the Savage Dragon Army, intending to slaughter every last one of those who had dared betray him.

"Hehe, have you forgotten this old man's presence?" Huo Ling's voice suddenly rang out.

Just as the South Dragon King rushed into the Savage Dragon Army, Huo Ling raised his hand and clenched it. The space around the South Dragon King instantly froze. Then, with a casual wave, Huo Ling sent a terrifying surge of energy flashing toward him.

Bang!

The attack struck the South Dragon King. Although Void Ancient Dragons possessed exceptionally powerful bodies, the South Dragon King was only a Three-Star Dou Sheng. Before a Seven Star Dou Sheng, that so-called powerful body was utterly insignificant.

The South Dragon King crashed violently to the ground. As Huo Ling severely injured him, he also destroyed all of the South Dragon King's Dou Qi.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically at the sight. As expected of a high-level Dou Sheng—he had crippled the South Dragon King so effortlessly.

The West Dragon King and North Dragon King were even more overwhelmed with fear. At once, they stamped their toes against the air and fled rapidly into the distance.

"Hmph! You think you can escape? Did this old man permit you to flee?"

The West Dragon King and North Dragon King suddenly halted as Yan Xuan appeared behind them.

"Not good!"

Before the West Dragon King and North Dragon King could react, Yan Xuan had already struck, crippling both of them.

"Great Elder, these three traitors are yours to deal with."

As he spoke, Huo Ling and Yan Xuan tossed the three Great Dragon Kings, who were already barely clinging to life, beside the Great Elder.

"Hmph! You three traitors! When you split the Void Ancient Dragon clan apart, did you ever imagine you would end up like this?" Looking at these three sinners of the Void Ancient Dragon clan, the Great Elder let out a cold snort.

"Men! Throw these three sinners into the dungeon first. Once His Majesty the Dragon Emperor returns in the future, let His Majesty personally deal with them!"
