First Showing His Edge

Three surprised voices shook the calm water.

They looked at Quan Yi's brow with disbelief.

A dark, shadowy figure emerged from it.

The familiar scents, sounds, even the Soul Fluctuation —everything was conveying a message to them.

That means the Flame Dragon King is still alive.

"How is this possible? Didn't you die Sacrifice?"

The Old Turtle's enormous eyes were filled with disbelief.

The Flame Dragon King landed on Quan Yi's shoulder and said in a deep voice, "Get down. It's inconvenient to talk if we're standing too far apart."

The Old Turtle and the Sea Lion slid down the rock wall and landed in the water. Then, they swam towards the stone platform at great speed, while the Albatross glided to the center of the Heavenly Pool first and circled around the stone platform.

The other tribesmen could only stand around the mountaintop, on the edge.

When the gathering is held, only the kings of the beast hordes with a cultivation level of 100,000 years are allowed to enter Heavenly Pool.

This is actually why they feel angry.

They subconsciously ignored Quan Yi and Huo Wu, their eyes fixed on the Mental Body that the Flame Dragon King had condensed.

This directly angered the Flame Dragon King, who snorted coldly and unleashed its domineering Dragon Might might upon the Three Kings, bringing them immense pressure.

"Dragon Might, there's no mistake, this is the real me! Flame Dragon King, how could you have ended up like this!"

The Old Turtle was the most shocked of the Three Kings.

Knowing the Flame Dragon King's arrogance and power, the Old Turtle simply couldn't believe that the Flame Dragon King would Sacrifice for humans.

This matter shocked it even more than the fact that the Flame Dragon King was alive.

The Flame Dragon King did not answer, but pointed to Quan Yi and introduced him:

"Old Turtle, this is a long story. Before I explain, let me first introduce my host, Quan Yi."

Everything I was was absorbed into his body through the Sacrifice, becoming his Soul Ring.

At this moment, in essence, he is the master of this volcano, and it is he who invited you here.

Feeling the intense gazes fixed on him, Quan Yi stepped forward and said loudly, "Welcome to my Heavenly Pool. As the new Volcano Master, Quan Yi greets you all."

Immediately afterwards, Quan Yi condensed liquid metal, which transformed into Dark Gold Sun Dragon Claw that covered his entire hands.

A powerful Dragon Might, far surpassing that of the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King, erupted from his body, forcing the Three Beast Kings to unleash their own power in resistance.

Fortunately, the Dragon Might was only released for a moment before Quan Yi withdrew it.

However, this move immediately drew all the attention of the beast kings to himself, making them realize who the master of this place was.

"Such pure Dragon Might! It directly stimulates the bloodline within, creating a sense of submission. Even the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King couldn't achieve this."

The Three Beast Kings felt an irresistible suppression from Quan Yi's Dragon Might.

Seeing that the Three Kings had quieted down, Quan Yi began to recount his remarks.

"The most important purpose of inviting you all here today is to inform you that this island, and the entire Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan, will belong to me."

Therefore, from now on, any provocation or harm to the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan will be considered hostile by me, regardless of their faction, and they will be included in my list of enemies and hunted down.

The announcement of the passage echoed across the vast Tianchi Heavenly Pool.

"Roar!"

The Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan surrounding Heavenly Pool roared to the sky, their howls creating a tremendous sound that spread throughout the surrounding archipelago.

At this moment, Quan Yi replaced the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King as their backbone, giving them boundless power.

Huo Wu, Quan Li, and Yun Qiong raised their arms and shouted along with the dragon lizards.

Their will coalesced into a tremendous force, plunging all other beasts present into a state of panic.

Their eyes were fixed on Quan Yi, because Quan Yi's presence gave them a great sense of security, allowing them to be fearless of anyone.

Quan Yi, who had been concealing his sword within its sheath and cultivating its sharpness, has finally revealed its brilliance today.

Protecting the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan was Quan Yi's way of giving an explanation to the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King.

Since it chose to merge with Quan Yi, taking care of the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard was its natural responsibility.

The Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King looked at the spirited Quan Yi, a hint of melancholy flashing in his eyes, but mostly with relief.

Bearing the fate of an entire race, especially the fate of a human being as Soul Beast, is no easy task.

It had already made arrangements for the survival of its people.

But Quan Yi felt that this was far from enough.

Self-destruction alone is not a viable way to survive in the Volcano Archipelago for long.

Just as nuclear deterrence alone cannot absolutely guarantee national security.

Only if the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan gives birth to a new 100,000-year-old Soul Beast can their status in the Volcano Archipelago be guaranteed.

Self-destruction is ultimately a last resort. If the enemy recognizes this and gradually erodes the clan through small-scale attacks, the survival of the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan will become extremely difficult.

Therefore, Quan Yi proposed to temporarily take over the leadership position and protect the Sea Iguana Dragon Lizard Clan.

The frenzied shouts filled the entire Volcano Crater, and the three beast kings in the middle of the roars were all greatly shaken.

The aura that Quan Yi unleashed directly overwhelmed the three Ferocious Beast that were hundreds of thousands of years old.

Furthermore, the aura of Ultimate Gold and Ultimate Fire emanating from Quan Yi's Martial Soul made them feel the threat of death.

The Golden Jade Furnace Flame Turtle, renowned for its defensive capabilities, could sense that its prized, hard metal shell was beginning to tremble.

Its extreme sharpness penetrates even the thickest defensive layer, reaching the flesh and blood inside, making its hair stand on end.

Even the horns of the Sea Iguana Flame Dragon King couldn't give it this feeling.

Moreover, the Fire Element energy within them seemed to wilted before Quan Yi, showing none of their usual arrogance and unbridled nature.

These reactions made the Three Kings dare not pay attention to anything else and could only focus all their attention on guarding against Quan Yi in order to prevent any unforeseen events.

Quan Yi slowly raised his right hand, and just as his palm reached its highest point, he quickly clenched his fist.

The roaring, which had been rising and falling, suddenly stopped.

In the silence, Quan Yi walked to the edge of the stone platform and revealed a friendly smile.

"I'm sorry to have startled you all."

Next, let's ask Flame Senior to answer everyone's questions.

This time, Quan Yi directly withdrew his Martial Soul from both hands, bringing all the outward aura back to his own body, returning to his previous inconspicuous state.

However, even so, it could not dispel the wariness in the hearts of the three 100,000-year-old Ferocious Beast.

The Flame Dragon King remained silent until Quan Yi finished speaking before he began to offer words of comfort.

"Okay, don't be so tense, relax a bit."

Aren't you all curious about what exactly happened?

I'll tell you right now.

Then it began to concisely explain its experience and its final choice.
