One Man vs. the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan

They had gone mad.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had gone mad.

No wonder Yu Yuanzhen had accepted the Heaven Dou Empire's enfeoffment. It seemed he knew that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone was simply not enough to stand against Spirit Hall.

That was why Yu Yuanzhen had chosen the Heaven Dou imperial family as his clan's backing.

It was truly a brilliant move.

But then again, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong had died at the hands of Spirit Hall. There was no way Yu Yuanzhen could remain sane.

Sure enough, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. The price of joining the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as an affiliated sect was to stand with them against Spirit Hall. Risks and rewards went hand in hand!

"Men! Bring them out!"

Before the various factions could react, Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand.

As his voice fell—

The side gate of the clan slowly opened.

Disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan escorted sixteen Soul Masters bound in chains of Soul Power toward the square.

Everyone looked over, only to find that they were dressed in Spirit Hall uniforms. Yet they no longer possessed the high spirits they usually displayed. A haze covered their once-clear eyes—fear, anxiety, and the timidity born of mental torment. Even the most basic bearing of a Soul Master had vanished.

The sixteen were pushed into the center of the square.

All of them were forced down onto their knees atop the bluestone steps.

With just one glance, Qian Renxue's heart tightened sharply on the platform.

These were all bishops of Spirit Hall?

Branch halls, sub-halls, main halls, sacred halls, the Elders Hall, the Papal Palace, and the Worship Hall.

White-robed bishops, purple-robed bishops, black-robed bishops.

Among these sixteen were three black-robed bishops from main halls, eight purple-robed bishops from sub-halls, and five white-robed bishops from branch halls.

The inexplicable destruction of Spirit Hall's branch halls truly had something to do with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

Yu Yuanzhen, you bastard! Did you really dare execute Spirit Hall bishops before all the Soul Masters in the world?

Damn it!

Qian Renxue clenched her fists tightly behind her back, but as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, all she could do now was watch helplessly.

"One month ago!"

Yu Yuanzhen finally spoke again, his voice infused with furious Soul Power and echoing across the entire venue. "Spirit Hall openly slaughtered members of my clan. Today, at this ceremony, I shall return the favor and execute Spirit Hall's bishops before all the Soul Masters in the world!"

"I know there must be Spirit Hall spies hidden among this crowd."

"But it does not matter!"

"I am doing this for Spirit Hall to see! What can you possibly do to me?!"

Buzz—

The instant Yu Yuanzhen finished speaking, a hum sounded from the sky.

Then, a streak of purple light descended from above.

With a thunderous crash, it landed in the center of the square. Its powerful pressure blasted the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples away by force. It was a majestic purple scepter, standing before the sixteen Spirit Hall bishops in full view of everyone.

At that moment, a youth in purple robes slowly stepped out from the crowd.

Whether it was Yu Yuanzhen or the Soul Masters filling the mountaintop, all of them widened their eyes in shock and froze where they stood.

In an instant—

A powerful Destruction Aura spread throughout the entire venue.

The atmosphere over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's square changed abruptly. Many who recognized the youth could no longer remain calm.

It was him—

That young Judgment Elder of Spirit Hall?

The legendary Source of Destruction had actually come to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, especially, nearly simultaneously stepped in front of Qian Renxue. They had witnessed Chen Changfeng's terror firsthand, and they had not expected him to dare charge into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone.

"Your Highness, this is not a place to linger," Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice, unwilling to take any risk. "I will escort you away at once."

"No need!"

Qian Renxue raised a hand to stop Ning Fengzhi and said calmly, "Today is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's Enfeoffment Ceremony. I was entrusted by Father Emperor to confer their title. If we leave now, it will inevitably damage the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's trust in the imperial family. That must not happen."

Ning Fengzhi broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing this. That might be true, but their lives were more important. At a time like this, they should not be considering the imperial family's gains and losses. "Your Highness, but you must understand—"

"It is fine!"

Qian Renxue cut him off again, her gaze resolute. "Before everyone here, I refuse to believe he would even dare kill the Empire's Crown Prince!"

Ning Fengzhi fell silent.

His Highness the Crown Prince truly possessed a temperament unlike ordinary people.

He absolutely had the bearing of a great emperor.

At that moment, Ning Fengzhi even inexplicably felt a trace of admiration.

But that was hardly the case. Qian Renxue claimed she was doing it for the dignity of the Heaven Dou imperial family, but in truth, she was worried about Chen Changfeng's safety. Naturally, he would not kill the Crown Prince, because that was her Brother Changfeng.

But how could he be foolish enough to come anyway?

This was obviously a trap.

"The wind atop the mountain is strong. Old Sect Master Yu, be careful not to bite your tongue."

As Chen Changfeng slowly stepped in, it was as though an abyss had descended upon the mountaintop behind him. As his aura shifted, everyone seemed to vaguely witness that world-ending scene once more: the earth shattered, scorched ground stretching endlessly like a wasteland; the oceans dried up, the skies darkened, and violent storms drowned the entire world; darkness shrouded everything, sending chills down their spines and making their scalps tingle.

Rustle!

The moment Chen Changfeng stepped onto the plaza—

He was blocked by more than a dozen disciples of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Though they had already released their martial souls, they could not stop trembling. It was the truest fear rising from the depths of their hearts.

Bzzzzz—

An incomparably oppressive hum rang out as the Source of Destruction Domain fully unfolded.

One orange-gold soul ring after another slowly rose beneath Chen Changfeng's feet.

Each soul ring carried the pressure of a ferocious beast. As their auras stacked one upon another, that primordial, destructive presence was so suffocating that even the sky seemed to change color.

In the spectator seats, Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin the Sword Douluo, and the mysterious figure concealed beneath a black robe all changed expression. What level were those soul rings? Even they had never seen anything like them. Wasn't it said that fellow possessed eight red soul rings? When had their colors changed again? Compared to everyone else's shock, only Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, sighed inwardly. She lamented that Yu Yuanzhen was already a dead man.

Chen Changfeng did not pause in the slightest, continuing toward the center of the plaza as though no one were there. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan disciples blocking his path trembled as they tried to step forward and stop him. Yet at that moment, they discovered that their bodies seemed unable to move at all.

Not a single person dared to stop him.

Nor could anyone stop him.

"Spirit Hall?!"

At that moment, Yu Yuanzhen's eyes gradually turned bloodshot. He had also heard of the staff before him.

Xiao Gang and Er Long had both died beneath that staff. "You dare break into my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone?! You truly must be tired of living! Since you seek death, this old dragon will grant it to you—and grant it to Spirit Hall as well!"

The flames of rage burned in Yu Yuanzhen's chest.

His eyes had gone red.

"Me alone."

"And me alone is all that is needed."

Chen Changfeng was not angered by this. Instead, he said with exceptional calm, "Since the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan dares declare war on Spirit Hall, then I will answer that challenge."

"At the same time, I will let the powers of the continent and all soul masters know."

"Spirit Hall cannot be violated."

"After today, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will cease to exist."

"This—"

"Is the consequence of opposing Spirit Hall."
