"Leng Bingyan, you bitch, hand over the Dragon Ball right now!"

The moment the Dragon Balls were revealed, it immediately attracted the attention of all the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent.

Everyone began searching for the remaining six Dragon Balls, and after a long and arduous search, they finally managed to seize them.

Leng Bingyan snatched one, An Mingzi also snatched one. Their wish was to leave the Dou Qi Continent and return to Ziwei Star.

Ye Qianqian's creation, Enel, also possessed one.

The remaining four are all in the hands of Ancient Families, and now a new round of battles has begun.

Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi were old enemies. As the saying goes, enemies are especially hateful when they meet, and they started fighting without saying a word.

Meanwhile, other bigwigs also arrived, intending to reap the benefits.

"Enough! Stop fighting!" Leng Bingyan Years Zither plucked the strings of the An Mingzi, and shouted sharply, "An Mingzi, even though we have a grudge, our wishes are the same—we both want to return to Ziwei Star. I think we should cooperate for now, first seizing the Dragon Pearls from these natives on the Dou Qi Continent, and then making a wish to the dragon god. That's the most important thing."

An Mingzi thought for a moment and felt that this made a lot of sense. She decided to cooperate with Leng Bingyan temporarily to steal the Dragon Balls from the others. She looked at Enel in the distance and said, "You guy who can unleash lightning, hand over the Dragon Balls you have."

Enel scoffed, "You want to steal the Dragon Balls from me? You'd better see what you're capable of. I've already planned this out: once I summon Shenron, I will enslave the entire universe."

The phrase "enslave the entire universe" was incredibly arrogant, immediately igniting the fury of Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi. Even as Immortal Emperor, they didn't possess such ambition; what gave Enel the right?

"Dance of Time"

"The Scythe of Life Severing"

Boom! Boom!

Two powerful, earth-shattering forces struck Enel directly.

Poor Enel, how could he withstand such an attack? When Ye Qianqian created him, he was only slightly stronger than a low-level Dou Di. Facing a true Immortal Emperor, he was no match for him.

In an instant, Enel was beaten so badly by Leng Bingyan and the other woman that he spat out blood, and the Dragon Ball in his hand was also knocked out of his hand and snatched away by An Mingzi with delight.

Now, the two of them together possess three Dragon Balls. If they can seize the Dragon Balls from the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent, they will have accomplished their great mission.

Feng Qing'er's beautiful eyes were filled with intense hatred. These two despicable people from another world actually possessed such terrifying strength. As a Dou Di powerhouse, she felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness in the face of Leng Bingyan and the other two.

"What should we do?" Yan Jin was at a loss when he saw how powerful these two extraterrestrial experts were.

Gu Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "These two extraterrestrial powerhouses are indeed terrifying, but they are not invincible. On our Dou Qi Continent, there is a great man who once defeated both of them."

Lei Ying suddenly realized, "You mean... Misty Cloud Great Emperor, Ye Qianqian?"

Everyone knew a thing or two about Ye Qianqian's reputation; her power was unfathomable, almost comparable to the guardian deity of the Dou Qi Continent. If Misty Cloud Great Emperor were to make a move, he would definitely snatch the dragon pearls from the two of them.

Gu Yuan nodded and said, "You guessed right, I was talking about Misty Cloud Great Emperor. We'll head to the Black Corner Region now and ask Misty Cloud Great Emperor for help. I believe that Lady Ye Qianqian, who hates evil as if it were her enemy, will definitely help us."

Gu Yuan's tactic of diverting trouble was brilliant. He wanted Ye Qianqian and Leng Bingyan to fight to the death, so that he could reap the benefits. Not only could he seize the Dragon Pearl, but he could also make Ye Qianqian lose her power over the Dou Qi Continent.

The Clan Leader of the Yao Clan, Yao Dan, Shi Li Stone Clan Leader, and the Spirit Clan Leader, Spirit Clan Ling Ming, all agreed with Gu Yuan's words.

"We must head to the Black Corner Region now, otherwise, those two extraterrestrial fiends might slaughter us all."

Without further ado, the high-ranking members of the many Ancient Families hurriedly tore open spatial rifts and headed towards the Black Corner Region.

"Where are you going? Leave the Dragon Ball behind!" Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi were immediately shocked and furious. Ye Qianqian had left an indelible psychological shadow in their hearts. How could they let these scumbags go to Ye Qianqian? They quickly chased after them.

"System, what should I do if they really manage to collect all seven Dragon Balls, summon Shenron, and wish to become some kind of invincible being in the universe?"

Lingxiao City, Ye Qianqian had just finished creating a model of a divine dragon, ready to fool the whole world.

However, she was also a little annoyed, because she was afraid that someone might make a high-level wish when it came to the dragon. That would be troublesome.

If she could simply wish to become the emperor of the universe, she would have done it long ago. Why would she need to go through all this trouble to fool others?

"Ding, esteemed host, as a god-level con artist, I never do anything that loses money. You are free to use your imagination, but don't let small problems hold you back."

After receiving the system notification, Ye Qianqian pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up; she had a great idea.

Immediately, she created a shadow clone and ordered it to use Transformation Technique to become an ordinary passerby, secretly hiding in the shadows.

The system is right. As a master con artist, she would never do a losing business. This time, she still needs to find an unlucky person to scam.

After all the plans were in place, Ye Qianqian hurriedly flew up into the sky above Lingxiao City and, sure enough, saw those Ancient Families forces flying in this direction.

"Ye Qianqian, please save us!"

Seeing that Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi were about to catch up with them, Gu Yuan and the others were terrified and ran away in panic, shouting for Ye Qianqian for protection.

"Hand over the remaining Dragon Balls."

Leng Bingyan held a guqin in her arms and played melodies. The surrounding world changed rapidly with the changing seasons, and in that short moment, it felt as if countless centuries had passed.

Some low-level Dou Sheng Expert, under the influence of this zither music, were visibly reduced to skeletons, falling from the heavens to the ground and shattering into dust.

"Whoever hands over the Dragon Balls may have their body left intact."

An Mingzi can also wield the Scythe of Death; its overwhelming deathly demonic energy corrodes everything, turning the bodies of countless powerful beings into dust.

Gu Yuan was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to turn his head. He quickened his pace even further.

Because the Dou Qi Continent had expanded more than thirty times, the Black Corner Region was quite a distance from the Central Continent. Along the way, everyone experienced what felt like a battle royale game, where those who were slow were all devoured by Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi.

Fortunately, their efforts paid off, and they finally arrived at the location of the Black Corner Region.

"Boom!"

Just then, in the heavens and earth above Lingxiao City, a giant fist formed from the power of the law blocked Leng Bingyan and the other two's pursuit route, successfully rescuing Gu Yuan and the others.

"This is a unique rule control; is an Immortal Emperor appearing ahead?"

Leng Bingyan's pupils contracted. She hadn't expected there to be a powerful expert at the Immortal Emperor level ahead of her. How could this be?

An Mingzi couldn't believe it either. How could someone in the low-level world of the Battle Through the Heavens Continent be able to extract the rules of heaven and earth and integrate them into their own body?

"Leng Bingyan, An Mingzi, it's been a long time since I've seen you two," Ye Qianqian said, putting her hands behind her back and striking a pose like a grandmaster.

Leng Bingyan exclaimed in shock, "Ye Qianqian, how did you advance to the Immortal Emperor?"

When they first met Ye Qianqian, she was just a trash Dou Zun. How long has it been? She has reached the same level as them.

Ye Qianqian confidently retorted, "This is my original strength; I've simply regained it. What's the big deal?"

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained shock points.

Shock level +30.

Shock level +50.

Shock level +20.

Shock level +40.

Everyone present was shocked by Ye Qianqian's words. It turned out that Misty Cloud Great Emperor once possessed such great power!

Gu Yuan and the Hun Tiandi secretly felt fortunate that they hadn't angered Ye Qianqian back then, otherwise neither of them would have had a good ending.

Seeing Leng Bingyan and An Mingzi's stunned expressions, Ye Qianqian said, "You two should hand over the Dragon Pearl. This Dragon Pearl is a supreme treasure of our Dou Qi Continent and does not belong to you."

Leng Bingyan was somewhat unwilling, but Ye Qianqian's strength had already surpassed theirs. What did they have left to have the confidence to contend with Ye Qianqian?

With a flick of their wrists, the two tossed the three dragon balls they held to Ye Qianqian.

Ye Qianqian casually accepted the Dragon Ball, then waved to the other members of the Ancient Families. The others understood what she meant and obediently offered up the remaining four Dragon Balls.

In an instant, all seven Dragon Balls were gathered, emitting a powerful, buzzing light.

Everyone's eyes burned with desire. If they could collect all the Dragon Balls, they could summon Shenron and make a wish—such an allure was unparalleled.

At this moment, they desperately wanted to rush forward and snatch it, but due to Ye Qianqian's strength, they could only secretly give up.

Ye Qianqian glanced at the crowd, finally fixing her gaze on Gu Yuan. She thought to herself that he would be the unlucky one, and said to Gu Yuan, "Gu Yuan, I have always seen your contributions to the Dou Qi Continent, so I have decided that this opportunity to make a wish will be given to you!"

"Wh... what?"

Gu Yuan was overjoyed, wondering if he was hallucinating. Was Ye Qianqian really going to give him this chance to make a wish?

"Sir, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious," Ye Qianqian nodded and smiled, "What, you're not willing? Then I'll choose someone else!"

"No, no, no, I dare not disobey your orders, sir," Gu Yuan hurriedly replied. "I will certainly not let you down."

Just kidding, such a golden opportunity, anyone who refuses is a fool. He has already made up his mind. Once he summons the dragon, he will wish to become the strongest person in the world. At that time, no matter what kind of person Leng Bingyan is, or An Mingzi, or even Ye Qianqian is nothing in front of him.

The Hun Tiandi, standing to the side, stomped his feet in anger. What right did Gu Yuan have to grant him the opportunity to make a wish to the Divine Dragon?

Clearing his throat with a cough, Gu Yuan walked triumphantly to the seven Dragon Balls and shouted, "Come forth, Shenron!!!"

"Hold head high!"

A dragon's roar suddenly emanated from the seven Dragon Balls, and seven beams of light burst forth from within them, eventually converging to form a colossal pillar of light reaching the heavens.

At the same time, the entire world went dark instantly, and everyone was horrified to discover that, amidst the spatial distortion, a colossal azure dragon, tens of thousands of feet tall, appeared before them.

This dragon is fake. No matter what wishes others make, they cannot be fulfilled. In the end, Ye Qianqian still needs to spend her shock points for it to have any effect.

"Is this the dragon?"

Everyone stared in disbelief, trembling with fear at the aura emanating from the dragon.

"Tell me your wish!"

The dragon's eyes surveyed all living beings, finally settling on Gu Yuan.

Gu Yuan's heart surged with excitement. He was about to become the most powerful being. What nonsense about extraterrestrial powerhouses and Misty Cloud Great Emperor? In a moment, they would all have to submit to his feet, Gu Yuan! Hehehe...

Gu Yuan trembled with excitement, stammering, "Divine Dragon, I... I... I want to become..."

Everyone held their breath, afraid to speak, lest Ye Qianqian kill them. They were also curious about what wish Gu Yuan would make.

However, before he could finish expressing his wish, a questioning voice suddenly rang out from afar, belonging to a passerby.

Passerby A: "Is this dragon really that powerful? I don't believe it. Can it really turn Gu Yuan into a woman?"

Gu Yuan flew into a rage. He was at the crucial moment of making his wish, how could he tolerate being disturbed? He turned around, glaring angrily, and demanded, "Who said that? Step forward and face me!"

The dragon said, "To become a woman? That wish is easy."

A beam of light suddenly shone on Gu Yuan, startling him so much that he screamed, "No, this isn't my wish! Divine Dragon, don't listen to them, they're joking!"

No matter how Gu Yuan explained, it was too late; all that could be seen was his body constantly changing.

Her flowing hair slowly cascaded down to her waist, her figure became slender and graceful, her broad chest gradually swelled, and finally two tall and firm mounds appeared, along with a slender waist, pert buttocks, long and beautiful legs, and a face that could topple cities and a temperament that could captivate nations.

No!

Gu Yuan let out a woman's scream, the voice delicate and melodious.

Ye Qianqian was secretly delighted, a shrewd businessman's mindset arising spontaneously; she had just spent only one thousand shock points.

"My God!"

Everyone was completely dumbfounded. It turned out that this dragon didn't only obey the commands of the person who summoned it!

Fortunately, it wasn't them who made the wish.

"Bite"

Congratulations, host, you have gained shock points.

Shock level +300.

Shock level +500.

Shock level +600.

Shock level +400.

Shock level +...
