The scene before him completely exceeded his expectations as the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, even overturning his understanding of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan! So much so that he murmured with a dryness and trembling that he himself was unaware of:
"Three... three Three-star Dou Sheng?! When did the Ancient Void Dragon Clan produce so many peak experts?!"
In response, the North Dragon King Zhu Xu's golden eyes swept indifferently over the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, offering no answer to his question. He simply spoke calmly, his voice carrying an undeniable resolve. "You have offended my Dragon Emperor's ally and tarnished the dignity of my Dragon Clan. Today, this place will be your burial ground."
The West Dragon King Zhu Jin, grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth and exuding a savage, ferocious aura. "Why waste words with him! I've long wanted to see just how much the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master really weighs!"
The South Dragon King, Zhu Gang, remained silent, but his sharp eyes were already locked onto every subtle fluctuation in the space around the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, as if searching for the best opportunity to strike.
Locked firmly in place by the auras of three equally powerful figures, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master felt the space around him solidify, an unprecedented shadow of death looming over his heart. This matter was far from over!
The Three Great Dragon Kings stood solid, like three insurmountable ancient divine mountains, completely sealing off all escape routes for the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master.
The three of them exuded a profound and imposing aura. Although they did not deliberately radiate pressure, the natural majesty of the Dragon Emperor they displayed made the sealed space incredibly heavy, as if the air itself had solidified into amber.
Without any unnecessary words, not even an opening remark, the hot-tempered and fiery-tempered West Dragon King Zhu Jin, launched the first attack with a fierce glint in his eyes, which were as hot as molten lava!
"Roar!"
West Dragon King Zhu Jin took a step forward, the void beneath his feet shattered inch by inch, as if unable to withstand the pure power. There were no flashy Dou Technique, just a single punch!
Wherever the fist's force passed, space wasn't torn apart, but rather melted and annihilated like snow thrown into the blazing sun, revealing a desolate void behind it.
This punch contained the purest and most domineering physical power, the ultimate manifestation of the Ancient Void Dragon using force to break through all laws! The fist energy was condensed like a pillar, striking straight at the heart of the matter, its target being the head of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master!
"Zhu Jin! Don't try to keep it all to yourself!" The South Dragon King Zhu You laugh, his voice sharp as an owl's.
His figure swayed, as if transforming into a formless shadow, silently merging into the Space Wrinkle.
In the next instant, dozens of tentacles formed entirely of deep dark energy simultaneously emerged from the shadows behind and to the left and right of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master!
These tentacles were not physical objects; they coiled around the limbs and bones of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master, sealing off all his escape routes.
Although the North Dragon King Zhu Xu remained silent, his movements were swift and decisive. His purplish-gold eyes were calm as he slowly raised his right hand, spread his fingers, and gently pressed down on the area where the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master was located.
"Buzz--!"
An invisible and intangible force, far more terrifying than the West Dragon King's fist or the South Dragon King's tentacles, suddenly descended!
It wasn't a simple Space Lock; it was as if that space had been completely detached from the current world, becoming its own prison.
The Three Great Dragon Kings a diverse group: one is fierce and unparalleled, launching direct attacks; another is unpredictable and cunning, harassing from the flanks; and the third controls the entire area, imprisoning space. Although their cooperation is not flawless, their absolute strength and tacit understanding ensure that their every move is a decisive victory!
Upon seeing this display of power, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master was immediately terrified. Alarm bells rang wildly in his mind, and an unprecedented chill instantly shot from the soles of his feet to the top of his head!
These three— West Dragon King Zhu Jin and South Dragon King Zhu You— both possessed the auras of Late Stage Three-Star Dou Saint North Dragon King Zhu Xu, the same level as him! And the one who made the last move, whose aura was the most profound and terrifying, was even a notch stronger than him, faintly reaching the terrifying level of Peak Three-star Dou Sheng!
Any one of these three, taken individually, would be difficult for him to gain the upper hand given his current weakened state from the previous battle; he would inevitably be at a disadvantage. Let alone the fact that the three of them are now working together, forming a seamless encirclement!
"Nether Ghost Wall! Ten Thousand Souls Body Protection!"
At the critical moment of life and death, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master roared hoarsely, pushing his soul power to its limit without reservation!
A vast expanse of Black Mist surged wildly from his body, instantly condensing into a massive black barrier in front of him, carved with countless agonizing and wailing ghost faces. At the same time, countless solidified vengeful spirits swirled around him like a tide, forming a thick soul shield.
Boom!!!
The terrifying fist force of the West Dragon King Zhu Jin, capable of melting space, slammed fiercely into the Nether Ghost Wall!
The ghost wall, which was strong enough to withstand the full force of a high-level Dou Sheng, only lasted for less than a breath before it groaned in despair under the purest and most extreme violence, and shattered with a deafening roar! The remaining power of the fist struck the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's protective soul shield like a heavy hammer, causing his Qi and Blood and qi to surge.
Almost simultaneously, the eerie dark tentacles of the South Dragon King Zhu You, had already wrapped around his body. The chilling and corrosive power attached to the tentacles frantically pierced through his protective soul power, attempting to freeze his meridians and tear his soul apart.
He had to divert his attention to circulating his soul power to shatter these troublesome tentacles, but every time he shattered one batch, more would immediately emerge from the shadows, seemingly endless.
What made him feel most desperate was the invisible spatial confinement imposed by the North Dragon King Zhu Xu.
Under this confinement, he felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and every movement required many times more Dou Qi and mental energy than usual. This greatly reduced his efficiency in dodging and defending against the attacks of the West Dragon King South Dragon King.
"Sizzle!"
A dark tentacle, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, finally pierced through the defenses, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound on the left arm of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master. Blood instantly gushed from the wound, and at the same time, a corrosive force that continuously eroded his flesh spread from it.
"Bang!"
Another punch from the West Dragon King struck him from a distance. Although he narrowly avoided it, it still grazed his ribs, causing him excruciating pain. He clearly heard the sound of his bones cracking.
"Remember, don't give him any chance to breathe! Finish this quickly!"
At this moment, Lin Ming's cold and clear voice, like a death knell, came from not far away.
Lin Ming hovered in mid-air, calmly watching the battlefield. Beside him stood Great Elder Qing Mu of East Dragon Island, a powerful expert at the Mid-stage Two-star Dou Saint realm, with a steady aura and sharp eyes. He acted as Lin Ming's most loyal guard, ensuring that no one could disturb him.
Lin Ming's words pierced the ears of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master like sharp needles, instantly igniting the overwhelming hatred and Killing Intent he felt towards Lin Ming!
If it weren't for this kid, how could his Soul Hall and Human Hall have ended up like this? How could he have fallen into such a desperate situation?
"You little bastard! Even if I die, I will kill you first!"
He immediately roared, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Lin Ming. A crazy thought surged within him, and he wanted to break through the blockade of the Three Great Dragon Kings at all costs to kill Lin Ming.
However, the moment this thought arose, the indifferent gaze of the North Dragon King Zhu Xu swept over him. The next moment, the spatial binding force around him suddenly intensified, as if countless invisible chains were binding him tightly.
At the same time, the ferocious fist wind of the West Dragon King Zhu Jin ubiquitous tentacles of the South Dragon King Zhu You launched an even more intense attack, like a sudden storm, giving him no chance to be distracted or break through!
At this moment, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master was like a trapped beast in a desperate situation. He had boundless rage, but could only struggle in vain under the combined suppression of the Three Great Dragon Kings. His injuries continued to increase, and his aura weakened at a visible speed.
"Puff--!"
Finally, when the North Dragon King Zhu Xu struck him in the back with a seemingly light palm print that actually contained the power to shatter the void, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master could no longer suppress himself. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs, his face instantly turned ashen, and he staggered, almost falling from the sky.
He steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a twisted, extremely ferocious smile appeared on his face. His gaze swept over the Three Great Dragon Kings, finally fixing on Lin Ming. His voice was hoarse like a broken gong, filled with resentment:
"Good! Well done, you Ancient Void Dragon Clan! Well done, Lin Ming! I will remember you! Today's 'generous gift' will be repaid a hundredfold, a thousandfold by my Hun Clan in the future! From now on, you shall endure the endless revenge of my Hun Clan! There will be no place for you on this continent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up violently, and countless strange, blood-red runes appeared on his skin!
"He wants to self-destruct?!" The West Dragon King Zhu Jin's eyes narrowed.
But the next moment, the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's swollen body did not explode. Instead, with a "bang," it burst into an extremely dense cloud of Black Mist!
The Black Mist seemed to possess a life of its own, emitting a resolute yet eerie Spatial Fluctuations. In an instant, it transformed into a thin, long black thread, shooting towards the Space Barrier jointly erected by the Three Great Dragon Kings in the distance at a speed beyond human comprehension!
"Laugh--!"
Shockingly, the strong Space Barrier that was powerful enough to trap Three-star Dou Sheng was actually torn open by the strange Black Mist formed by burning most of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's original soul power, just like oil being scalded by a red-hot iron!
Without hesitation, the Black Mist threads instantly slipped through the gap!
"The first layer of the barrier... is broken?" The South Dragon King Zhu You raised an eyebrow, seemingly somewhat surprised, but his face showed little panic.
After the Black Mist pierced through the first layer of the barrier, its light dimmed considerably, but its momentum remained undiminished, and it immediately attempted to escape. However, just as he thought he had escaped, another invisible barrier quietly appeared in the void ahead, blocking his way once again!
"There's another layer?!"
From within the Black Mist emanated the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master's shocked and furious mental fluctuations. He had to admire how cautious these Ancient Void Dragons were! They had actually secretly laid out a double Space Barrier! This second barrier was even more resilient than the first, carrying the unique, yin-like, clinging power of the South Dragon King Zhu You.
"Open the door for me!"
The Black Mist condensed again, burning its remaining primordial soul power, and slammed into the second layer of the barrier like a drill.
"Click..."
With another crisp sound, the second layer of the barrier shattered! But at this moment, the Black Mist had become extremely thin, almost unable to maintain its shape, vaguely revealing the somewhat transparent Soul Origin of the Hall of Souls Vice Hall Master.
